Symlinks will do what you want.

Yeah i do the opposite, i toggle it on when running a supported game, but have it off by default as its so buggy and all over the place, i also have multiple monitors, so that messes with the HDR also. You can quickly toggle it on/off with Windows key, ALT and b.

Emulators do not support HDR, so its switching out of HDR mode when you launch games, but this is never handled gracefully, hence you having to toggle it off and back on. As far as i know there is nothing you can do about it, i have been dealing with it myself for years now.

The issue here is you are using the wrong files. Demul hasn't been updated in a long time, so doesn't know anything about the 0.245 romset, it wants the romset version of whatever was probably current the last time it was updated. MAME zips change quite regularly, so tthis specific game may of changed the files in the zip during that time. Also for these you probably want a Non-Merged romset and not a split one, a split romset is what its name implies, and a zip file is not strictly a working rom, as other files that rom needs can be located in other zip files, as you have discovered. So long story short, you are using the wrong romset version and type for what you are trying to do.

Tools/Manage Platforms/Name of platform/Folders tab.

You actually get two warning when that option is checked, this being the second one actually stating it will delete the rom file from the PC. If you are seeing that then you turned the option on, simply turn it back off.

That is how Launchbox is by default, it will never delete a rom from your PC, unless you specifically turned that feature on. Are you sure the message you get is saying that and not just sayings its gonna delete the rom from Launchbox.

Its just a bug fix release as often happens after a official release. There are no new features over 12.12.

It's the weekend, you work 24 hours a day seven days a week? There are only three people who work for Launchbox and they work a normal Monday-Friday week, so please have a little patience. Third party anti virus softwares are garbage, and do the "false positive" virus thing all the time, for some reason uneducated people think this is a good thing as it is finding things, this is the complete opposite though its saying things are virus's that are not which is a bad thing, it's essentially lying to you, usually in order to get you to upgrade to the paid version. It's scummy and completely unnecessary the built in Windows defender is perfectly adequate and gives far, far less false positives.

Well that is sort of the point, a different bezel for every game. If you only want one bezel per platform then Retroarch has been able to do that for forever and there are thousands of different ones all over the internet for you to choose from and add to Retroarch, you don't need a tool in a frontend for that, or for the Bezel Project either if I'm honest as that already had a perfectly fine exe, but I digress.

As noted unless you have a Non-Merged romset you cannot separate your roms like that as it will break a bunch of your games, so having Launchbox do that, and by default no less is a big mistake and will cause tons of issues for people. If you want to only have the games you want you need a Non-Merged romset, import it, and use the export to folder option to move the roms out somewhere, you would then delete the platform and run the importer again with the same settings and point to the location of your trimmed romset.

Hover over it and use your mouse scroll wheel.

No, they are not.

Updates are not enforced and can be turned off in the options. That is nothing at all to do with Launchbox, so a Launchbox update will not effect your controls.

How are your roms named? The name of the rom needs to match the name of the bezel in order for them to match up, so if your roms are not using the No-Intro naming scheme that is likely the issue.

Thing is though that 99% of VR games are Windows, there are very few Quest only games. Could always just add create a VR platform that scrapes as windows, and then with those handful of your games that are Android exclusive add a Quest badge so you can easily see them in the UI?

Stop using a pirated license and purchase a legitimate one, or remove it completely and lose your premium features.

No, no it didnt, i do not know where they are from, but Launchbox would never do that, it simply isn't coded to do so. The only way that would be possible is a multi step process initiated by yourself. Sounds more likely to me that you previously have used another frontend or skraper and just pointed Launchbox to a folder with a lot of stuff in it that is not actual games. I will tag @C-Beats here just in case we do have a bug, but i doubt that the it's the case, but i have been proved wrong before, so who knows.

Are your roms bin and cue? You would of only imported the cue files to Launchbox, so that is the only file it would know to delete, so the bin would get left behind. File types like this technically are not "roms" they are disc images and behave a little differently.

Launchbox imports what you tell it to, if you gave it incompatible files like a .mp4 then thats what it will try to launch. You only add the file the emulator needs to Launchbox.

My guess on this one, as the game name ends in a . you now have a double .extension "Super Mario Bros..cfg. Maybe @C-Beats or @Jason Carr could confirm, and you could check another game in that platform and see if that works.

You need to only import the file type that the emulator requires, in this case the .cue file. So you need to remove the platform again and re-import but with just the cue files this time. You can navigate to your rom folder and put *.cue in the windows search and drag and drop all the results to Launchbox to initiate the import wizard.

Could also try this plugin.

Its because steam has control of the controller. You launch Bigbox so steam allows the controller to work with that, but then Bigbox launches a emulator/game, and steam is unaware of that, so the controller isnt passed through. I believe you need paid software to do it correctly through steam, unless that has changed over the years.
