Hope this helps others. I recently just ran into the same issue getting .dsk game types to run using MAME thru Launchbox. I decided to go with a standalone emulator and ran across Virtual ADAM. It runs ADAMEm using DOSbox to make it compatible on Windows 64bit systems. I liked the DOSbox idea but Virtual Adam does not support command lines and requires all the game files to be in its roms directory, so how did I get it to work, bypassed what Virtual ADAM actually does. Virtual ADAM takes the game file you load in a drive and copies it to its temp deirectory as LDrive1.DSK, then it runs DOSrun.bat in its root directory which loads its own DOSbox with a preconfigured cofig file. To get this to work with Launchbox try the following 1. Download and install Virtual ADAM to the emulators, this is the website I got it from and confirmed its legit and works in Windows 11 https://adamarchive.org/archive.php?dir=%2FEmulators%2FColecoVision+%26+ADAM+Computer, make sure to select "Virtual ADAM v1.03 with NET Frameork Fix (2010) (Steve Pitman).zip" and click "DOWNLOAD" 2. I created LaunchADAM.bat in the Virtual ADAM directory LaunchADAM.bat @echo off copy /Y "%~1" "D:\LaunchBox\Emulators\Virtual Adam\Temp\LDrive1.DSK" "D:\LaunchBox\Emulators\Virtual Adam\DOSBox-0.72\DosBox.exe" ^ -noconsole ^ -conf "D:\LaunchBox\Emulators\Virtual Adam\Vadam.cfg" 3. Setup the Virtual ADAM emulator. Notice the Application path, Default Command-Line Parameters, Check hide Console Window 4.Setup of the game, ADAMEm does not support zip so you have to unzip your files 5. Run your game in Launchbox I have not tried all the games yet but thought this was a clean way to launch ADAM dsk images.

I just recently found this and trying to use it. I have installed the file as your instructions say but my Launchbox is not showing "Missing Games Checker" as described in this post. I am using v13.22 and the LBMissingGamesCheckerPlugin.dll is in the \LaunchBox\Plugins directory. My Tools menu looks like the pic shown. I have also look at the sub selections of each to see if it was in any of them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
