[AMA With The LaunchBox Team]

What do you think about a initiative for synchronizing emulator saves. On Windows you can use syncthing and choose any emulator directory. On android you just can' t choose a directory inside Android/data because of permissions. If you have a rooted device it's easy. So the main goal is to force emulator developers to create a more sync friendly emulator where the user can change save data directory. On Duckstation you can only export and imoprt save data so with syncthing on Windows it syncs correctly but on Android it need to be synced to a shared directory and then in Duckstation you need to import it manually. You have many users, you have resources to start this initiative. What do you think?

I had similar problem now and it was Bitdefender Firewall blocking launchbox.exe from accessing the internet.

I'm not sure if this has been discussed before, but why not set a whitelist (could be acessible through Platform menu) for allowed extensions for each platform during automatic import? Then you could whitelist what you actually want imported (example .smd and .bin for genesis, .cue or .chd only for playstation etc)

EDIT: I just realized I suggested this years ago but never got around to submit it in bitbucket

That should be enough for most problems with automatic import. Because of that when I was manually importing ROMs I was adding only specific files and not the whole directory.

Just curious, I notice you have a "gamelist.xml" file for the platforms shown in the screenshot. not sure about them, but might they be something to look at? Not sure what you are using them for, but might be something 

You missed one thing:

Those files are created by EmulationStation to store game lists and game multimedia.

[LaunchBox 13.12 - Beta Thread]

I've updated to the final 13.12 version and automatic ROM import is a joke.

As you can see on the screenshot it imported mp4 files and xml files. What ROM from what platform uses that extensions? It should ignore that.

Just tried to add PS2 with AetherSX2 and it launches the app but not the game. Don't know if I'm doing something wrong.. All platforms with retroarch are working fine.

AetherSX2 is no longer maintained by the developer due to death threats. So you can only run the app but it won't launch the game.
