UPDATE: Good news, transferring my games to android with the export fucntion at least shows the games in launchbox for adnroid, but i still cannot find a way to properly set them up to play them. Retroarch doesn't recognise the files since they've been zipped, and though you an use retroarch itself to look inside zipped files, i cannot find a way to save the specific pathnames inside a zipped game for the same specific game in launchbox. anyone able to help with this? Mostly also since this way is way easier to setup DOS games through android, not to mention much quicker, but it has to work and it still doesnt.

Thx @faeran, that makes everything a bit clearer. Foor now it's gonna be emblem. concerning the 'adding games' problem, for now i'm gonna try and use my pc's launchbox to export these DOS games, see what happens.

I was still curious if people had issues. I have an odin pro now, and apart from me loving the thing, i have experienced some major inconveniences with launchbox. Mainly the fact that launchbox randomly AND specifically throws me out of the app, to (when restarting) show me none of the changes i've made had any effect. This is particularly nasty when trying to add games. I already can't add all my MS-DOS games at the same time, but doing them one by one and repeatedly getting kicked out to find out my game hasnt been added is kind of a dealbreaker. for now i'm pretty sure there are answers i'm not finding yet, nonetheless it's a pain....

-this one has been solved. seemed my lighting in the room and my computer screen didn't allow me to see where the actual search column was. found it now

for some reason i cannot find the search function on this forum, so with the risk of repeating some questions (which i don't like): I am an odin pro user (just android) and have my roms and whatnot on a separate sd card. I've been able to add one DOS game (since the machine crashed once i tried to add the whole DOS folder in launchbox for android). now, when i try to add another dos game, all seems to go well, but as soon as i save, the program crashes, throwing me out. The window of launchbox stays open in my active programs, but once i click it, it just restarts launchbox, showing me no sign of my newly added game. added for that is my logfile, if that's any help. i'd like to hear how i can fix this. -how do i upgrade to the beta version? i've activated it in the options, but don't feel like it has updated anything since then. is there a way to check whether or not this works? -Do themes work on android? for now i cannot get another theme to work. i can install them, but especially in the first window i cannot seem to use them. in the games window i have the option to change the grid look, but elsewhere i do not get that option. that's it for now. I hope you can help me. oh and please tell me where the search option resides on the forum. Debug_2023-04-26_03-18-53_PM[1].log

HAHAHA! just as i was about to try and reproduce the bug, it isn't doing that anymore...so sorry, can't help for now. if it happens again i'll let ya know.

sorry, didn't see that one. i'll try to send the logfile here ASAP.

i am willing to help, odin pro user here. just got mine and since i already had a lifetime lisence for my computer, figured i'd try this one as well. it is giving me quite a lot of trouble to be honest, but let's start with this specific one. -i have clicked 'use debug logs' but how do i get them? btw, odin doesn't freeze. in my case it throws me out of launchbox for android but doesn't seem to shutdown the program, since i can still see it running in my program windows. but when i click the window, it DOES seem to restart launchbox. so, step 1, HOW do i get a log file?

after some searching i've found some sources pointing to a way to make scummvm game appear in certain frontends by using a textfile renamed to the game with the extension .scummvm or .svm. however, i haven't found enough to actually work out how to use it, neither do i know whether or not this works with launchbox for android as well. anyone here to verify this? have alink to a tutorial on how to do this? or just knows the answer to the question above?

Hi there, I've recently bought a retroid pocket 2+, and since then became interested in running my favorite software on android! now transferring games to my android device seems only to count for the ROM's i have, and no other platforms (DOS/ScummVM). I've tried transferring some scummvm games the way described, but it will only copy the .bat files that my desktop version of launchbox uses, and that's obviously not enough. Since this platform (and DOS too) is so important to me, i'd reallyreallyreally like to get this to work on launchbox for android. i don't care if transferring directly won't work, neither will i have a problem with reinstalling my games on scummVM (or the retroarch core for that matter) on android and transferring the gamefiles manually, but how do i get launchbox to find these games on android? any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried searching for scummvm in the topics on the android platform but came up empty enough to make this topic.

check and doublecheck.

Thank you so much! I was already scratching the back of my head because of the shortname 'access'. didn't try out 'amazon' though, which (now) sounds much more likely to be the shortname! and to be honest, i thought i had to rename the target path IN the shortcut, not as a launcher option in Launchbox itself, so i can see where i went wrong with this. haven't tried this out yet, but i'll be sure to give it a run when i have time tomorrow. this will probably save me some time on future errors as well, so thankx again!
