Unfortunately right now there's no way to launch an app on starting LaunchBox. Also, additional apps require separate configuration for each game, so that's probably not a good solution either. You might be able to use the platform-specific AutoHotkey scripts as a better solution if you want to figure out the scripting, but from what it sounds like, it still won't be perfect.

Okay, sure, I will add this to my list. :)

Thanks guys, that's a big help. I'll take a look.

Hi @bikeking8, from your email it sounds like you used Excel. Unfortunately Excel is going to be way to destructive to use with LaunchBox.xml. I think the only safe thing you'll be able to use is just a standard text editor, unfortunately.

Awesome, thank you @Sennator! Sorry for the challenges there, of course. Yes, PayPal has screwed me much like it sounds like they screwed you. They actually held my money captive for a good while.

Ha, very cool. Emulation Station is really great for low powered environments. I also have to give huge props to Emulation Station because I literally stole the Big Box interface concepts from it. Without Emulation Station's interface I wouldn't have had any idea where to start.

Woot woot! Let us know when you have more added to the story. That's what I'm eager for. :)

Wow, that looks amazing. I can see that being even more fun than an amusement park. Imagine laser tag like that. Woah.

Ah, no worries. That's bad enough. Still unacceptable of course.

Wow, gorgeous.

His @mixboiatl, this is puzzling to me; does the Steam controller work with LaunchBox itself?

Hi @chadmoe1, depending on exactly what it needs, it might work. LaunchBox can automatically run "additional applications" before or after games are run. Command line parameters are customizable.

@Dweller, it is possible that something isn't working right for free accounts. I'll give that a test, thanks for letting me know. :)

@DOS76, it should work as-is to auto-mount a disc with Daemon Tools as an additional app before running the emulator, assuming you check the box to automatically run the daemon tools command before launching the game. Or I could be misunderstanding something... ;)

Wow, ummm. Lol.

Like, for real, with a camera? And then uploading the images somewhere?

Very cool, @mathflair; sounds like a great idea. RocketLauncher is an awesome concept, that's for sure; my issue with it has just been the complicated/confusing interface.

Hi @TONBOX777, did you use the default MAME settings? To be honest I'm not sure I've ever run SNES through MAME/MESS before, so it could be that we're breaking new ground.

I will do my best to get that option in before the 5.6 official. Right now I'm still focusing on wrapping up the EmuMovies integration. After that, I have some live syncing work to do. Hopefully I can sneak this in.

Thank you @h0gg1e, great to hear. :)

Thanks @XoRRoX, this looks really cool. I pinned the post. Hopefully I can play around with it over the weekend. :)

Okay, thanks @Zombeaver.

Yeah, that really sucks for consumers. Wait to treat your customers as enemies, MS. Ugh.

Hi @DanDan2000, I'm very sorry to say that there's no way to run Big Box or LaunchBox on your FireTV. I'll gladly give you a refund if you'd like. LaunchBox and Big Box are currently only for Windows PCs.
