So it sounds like something got corrupted with the save, basically. Well, that sucks. Not sure if there's anything that can be done. You don't happen to have the ROMs or the saves in Dropbox do you?

Hi @garbanzo, this was mentioned recently, actually. I have it on my list to create a related games feature. I didn't plan on adding a category to it, though; that's a great idea. :)

Welcome @hansqpeter. Importing Windows games is unfortunately more of a challenge than it seems. I haven't seen it done before elsewhere, and for good reason, unfortunately. Games often have more than one EXE, so it's often not straightforward, and hunting for only games in Program Files is pretty much impossible, which is why we chose to go with the Start menu solution. That said, I can see a drag and drop option making sense, with the understanding that it'll get the EXE wrong sometimes. I'll add that to my list. :)

Well, what you could do is create a platform called "Programs" and then put Plex in there, along with your other programs. Or, you could create a Game with "Plex" as the platform and "Open Plex" as the name of the game I suppose...

Hi @wraslor, absolutely. You can launch whatever you want from LaunchBox. Just put the application startup EXE in the Application Path. Be sure to leave everything else at the defaults (don't check Use DOSBox, emulation, etc.).

Hi @orac31, I'm using the Windows built-in video playback functionality, so basically it'll play whatever formats Windows Media Player supports on your system. I believe you can install codecs as well, if that helps.

Thanks @nmc! :)

Hi Nathan, absolutely. Feedback/ideas are always appreciated. Would probably be good to start another thread for it though. Thanks, Martin. I was planning on adding an option to play random game music for platforms, but it makes sense to allow custom music as well. I'll do that when I implement that stuff. :)

Hey guys, you're right; currently there's no scraper built into LaunchBox, but this is definitely planned for the near future. I'm working with EmuMovies to try and get their content integrated directly into LaunchBox. I'm talks with Circo, but it's taking a while to hear back from him. I'm not sure what is possible as of yet. But yes, as far as I've found, EmuMovies is by far the best library available of game videos. I haven't found anything better. For now, I've designed the videos feature to work well with the EmuMovies downloader. Should just be able to put the videos in the right path and it should automatically pick them all up.

Hi @MrSirrr, good idea for the random game music on platforms. I'll see if I can add that feature soon. Overall music is planned as well. :)

Thanks @geckogirl191, that's a really good point; not sure how we all missed that. I'll be sure to get a fix for this in the next beta.

Hi @Cabirus, thanks for this. You're correct in your assumptions. I'll reach out to Frode soon. :)

Thank you Nathan! I'll see if I can get a fix in for this before the release in 2 hours... :)

Thank you @qwerty123! I have all of these fixed for the release tonight. :)

Good to know, @nmc. That clears up some confusion for me, thanks.

Hi @nmc, I'd love to have those overlays. That's definitely a good idea; added. :)

Good find Nathan. :)

@sagaopc has a good point regarding configurations; it might be good to be able to customize the startup parameters, for instance, on a game-by-game basis. But yes, of course LaunchBox already can support any number of emulators per platform.

Hi @AFaustini, you can add videos via the Game Video Path field on the Other tab of the Add/Edit window. Also, videos should be automatically found if you place them in the right folder and name them based on the game title. Check out the platform management screen; it lets you specify where the videos folder is for each platform.

Strings are in multiple places across many files. Yes, that's possible. However, unfortunately, I don't have the time to go hunting.

Awesome, thanks @nmc! :) I'll get the files posted soon.

Very cool @nmc. Good to see you. I'm in need of exactly that for my son...

Thank you @qwerty123. I'm finding it difficult to go through and fix them all though because I don't know where they're all at. Can you help me out by telling me where they're at in the app?

Nice! :)
