Hi there Zangdaarr, I realise this is 3 months down the line, but I'll have to excuse myself by not having joined until recently. In case you return to read this, and in case you don't already have a solution, I've just setup WinAPE to run Amstrad CPC disk images in Launchbox. It is possible to get it to launch a game direct from Launchbox by passing in the command-line argument /a:filetorun The trouble is, that requires knowledge of the contents of each and every disk; I've not found a quick way of automating how to detect what the filename is to run to put on the command-line. Ie. how to provide a single command-line that works for all games. Apparently some games will load with a run "disk" command or run "disc", so maybe it is possible to provide a command file that tries each options at least (if I'm not mistaken what this command-line option is used for: /T:filename - "Automatically start typing from the given Auto-type file."). But then is it of any value to have only *some* games work? If you do already have a solution, I'm all ears. Hmm... I wonder if it's possible to write a basic program to determine what is the most likely file to run on a disk? Call every game with a command file that contains loading the same .BAS file.

This isn't any advancement on the topic, but I just wanted to interject and say you guys (Jason and Sentai) are absolute stars. This software is so well supported, and you are incredibly responsive to posts and people's problems. Bravo guys bravo. (and a big-up for the community trialling these Beta versions too)

Jason Carr said Thanks everyone, new beta is out: - VLC support in LaunchBox - New LaunchBox splash screen - New Register License option in LaunchBox to make it easier for simpletons to add or update their license (for users who can't seem to find their LaunchBox folder, I get this all the time) - If the ROM file isn't found, LaunchBox will look for an archive file with the same name I think that's it. :) Excellent to see these! Great work guys. VLC support has stopped my issue with Launchbox crashing when switching between games with videos. WMP begone! Particularly like the splash screen too. So glad I signed up for Beta releases :)
