I’ve now found the cause of the problem. I started my main LaunchBox installation with a fresh "Settings.xml". After setting up everything I needed, I wanted to check if it was still working and it wasn’t. The config file was no longer being loaded in RetroArch. After some trial and error, I figured out that it’s related to the RetroAchievements login data. If you’re not using RA, "--appendconfig *.cfg" works just fine. As soon as valid login credentials are entered, it stops working

I’m having exactly the same issue. "--appendconfig" doesn’t work for me either, and I spent half of yesterday messing around with it… Using the command with "-c *.cfg" does work, but it ends up overwriting the entire RetroArch config, which obviously isn’t ideal. Today I tried something else. I installed LaunchBox (13.24) on a different hard drive and let it install RetroArch. Then I dropped a test.cfg into the RetroArch folder and ran "--appendconfig test.cfg" via the command prompt and surprisingly, it worked. After that, I pointed LaunchBox to my actual RetroArch folder as the emulator, and it still worked exactly as expected. For testing purposes, I then deleted "Settings.xml" from the Data folder and restarted LaunchBox, and suddenly "--appendconfig" also works in 13.25 Beta 3. No idea which LaunchBox setting was blocking the command from running

I resolved the issue by updating .NET. When you start ArchiveManager in a console, it gives you an error message about an outdated .NET version and provides a download link to the latest version of .NET.

Thank you very much for your support. ❤️ When I tried to run it in the console, it gave me the following output: It was not possible to find any compatible framework version The framework 'Microsoft.NETCore.App', version '9.0.0' was not found. - The following frameworks were found: 3.1.32 at [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.NETCore.App] You can resolve the problem by installing the specified framework and/or SDK. The specified framework can be found at: - https://aka.ms/dotnet-core-applaunch?framework=Microsoft.NETCore.App&framework_version=9.0.0&arch=x64&rid=win10-x64 I followed the link and downloaded it. Now my console output looks like yours and ArchiveManager works for me as well.

When Launchbox isn't running, there is a "Temp" folder, "7z.dll", "7z.exe", and 3 txt-files in my ThirdParty/7-Zip folder. In the attached file, you can see the files that are present when Launchbox is running. When I want to start a game that needs to be extracted, a game.ini file will be created with the following content: [Game] GameId=767c24f8-e2a6-4281-9a5e-6a5a45a0e1de ArchivePath=F:\Spiele\Redump\Nintendo - GameCube (Europe)\Pikmin 2 (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It).zip Emulator=Dolphin Platform=Nintendo GameCube Title=Pikmin 2 Version=(Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It) SelectedFile= DecompressedSize=0 KeepInCache=False EmulatorPlatformM3u=False MultiDisc=False I have tried a fresh installation of Launchbox, but I still get the same error message...

I'm on the latest Launchbox beta and when I use your modded plugin the following error occur: "7-Zip returned an error when trying to extract the archive." log file without any issue or hint... The latest version of ArchivManager works for me. events-2025-03-30.log

Hi and thank you for your anwser und sorry for the very late response... My updated sets was in a new folder, but on the same drive. I have pointed launchbox by platforms to the new folders and then I scanned for new roms and I thought, that launchbox cleans by that step the old entries, which it can't finds anymore, but no. I thought I could run "scan for deleted roms" that it now cleans out the missing files/pathes, but it deleted the entire games were the names have changed. After I rescan for new roms it was like a new entry for each game and my editied metadata/settings were lost

Hello, after a long time I have updated my Romsets and many filenames have changed. Now Launchbox can't find the roms of the games with changed names. I tried to re-import the sets, that Launchbox can recognize the changed names. I've also allowed to import dublicates. over "tools -> scan -> for added roms in any platforms/currently selected platform" I've tried also. with the duplicated roms I tried to use "tools -> file management -> consolidate roms for current platform" but all that doesn't solve my problem. Is there any way to scan for, without to edit the xml's by hand? I know, that I can delete a platform and start new, but I dont want to lose my settings...

Hi, I would like to see, when the playtime is editable to add my tracked playtimes. If I edit the <PlayTime> in a platform xml, launchbox crashes while startup. When I start any game through Launchbox, to see how Launchbox write the tracked time, the playtime is still zero, but the time in Launchbox was tracked.
