Very nice setup honestly. Nokia N-Gage emulation has come a long way compared to a few years ago, and LaunchBox integration was always the messy part rather than the emulator itself. Your workaround with shortcuts + custom command lines actually makes sense. A bit tedious, but probably more reliable than fighting the emulator import system. The --app parameter issue is especially annoying since game IDs don’t always match the visible titles. Good tip about trying different ROM dumps too. I’ve seen some older cracked N-Gage releases behave weirdly with app launching and save handling. Funny enough, setting this stuff up sometimes feels more complicated than configuring an old router login page or network device manually.

As far as I know, the LaunchBox Games Database website itself doesn’t currently have a built-in “top rated games” style view like GameFAQs where you can globally sort platforms by community rating directly in the browser. The ratings system definitely exists inside LaunchBox, and there are features for sorting/filtering by community star ratings in the client app. But on the public database website, the browsing/search tools seem more focused on metadata, genres, platforms, etc., rather than ranked rating lists. So unfortunately I don’t think there’s currently a direct website-only workaround for: “show highest rated SNES games”, “top rated games across all systems”, GameFAQs-style ranking pages without importing/syncing into the client first. that would be a really useful feature request for the database site itself. A lot of people would probably use LaunchBox more as a discovery tool if ratings were sortable publicly.
