Heres the new log bud, hope it helps to narrow it down some. Thanks! GameLaunchProxy.log

Hey Nielk, still unable to rename to a static name. Heres the log....its kinda funny....just says something is very wrong! GameLaunchProxy.log

I'm not sure what you did but it's working well now. I even was able to get desmume working which wouldn't before. I'll be testing this quite a bit during the week, working at few 12's for the next couple Thanks!

Thank you, its not currently working for me because of the force close, but hopefully its just a bug that can be taken care of....I've been going crazy trying to figure out if its user error or not. Everything seems the same as before.....thanks again for your work on this. When I had it working it was great!

Heres my .vdf.....I updated version and am still getting that force close with this log and the Gameproxy has stopped working box. I updated my version and relinked the emulator through the commands....Not sure why this isnt going through. shortcuts.vdf GameLaunchProxy.log

Well, I think the issue before may have been because steam wasnt loaded for some reason....this, I know it was loaded.

Does display the gamelaunch proxy has stopped working box.

I believe I may have found a bug?? When attempting to set the -name to a static value in parenthesis I am getting a force close every time. I change it back to %platform% etc works fine. I can statically assign -fallbackname without crashing. Is this working as intended? Im attempting to launch based off a system name like "NES" so that the steam controller only has to assign a profile once instead of every time you launch a new game.

Good one on mentioning the OpenGl requirement, I was able to get Visualboy Advance M working by checking on the opengl render in the options settings....Works like a charm now!

I have nestopia and retroarch working perfectly....dophin controller profile seems to want to default to kb&m, not sure if that is related to proxy or not. The one I'm struggling to understand is my visualboyadvance. Games launch fine but it never seems to hook into steam......pulls steam to the foreground after it closes but the log seems to indicate everything is working well as far as I can understand, but unable to pull up the steam overlay.

Thanks for all your hard work and the new interface looks nice.....but......I am still not able to get it working and am pretty convinced that I am linking the programs together correctly. The proxy force closes every time I attempt to launch with "GameLauchProxy has stopped working". Below is the entirety of my log before the force close. Any thoughts? 53fb45ce-1c54-4bf0-85ff-f03d9eb954c9 Start 53fb45ce-1c54-4bf0-85ff-f03d9eb954c9 Version 0.0.3.0 53fb45ce-1c54-4bf0-85ff-f03d9eb954c9 Raw Command Line "C:\Users\HTPC\Downloads\0.0.3.0\GameLaunchProxy.exe" -steam -name "%gamename% (%platformname%)" -fallbackname "%platformname%" -proxy "C:\emus\RetroArch\retroarch.exe" "C:\emus\RetroArch\cores\mupen64plus_libretro.dll" "C:\Users\HTPC\Documents\LaunchBox\Games\Nintendo 64\Castlevania - Legacy of Darkness.z64" 53fb45ce-1c54-4bf0-85ff-f03d9eb954c9 -name Contains %gamename% or %platformname% 53fb45ce-1c54-4bf0-85ff-f03d9eb954c9 New -name Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness (N64) 53fb45ce-1c54-4bf0-85ff-f03d9eb954c9 -fallbackname Contains %gamename% or %platformname% 53fb45ce-1c54-4bf0-85ff-f03d9eb954c9 New -fallbackname N64 Thanks again, I'll be working through the night tonight but will be available to test this thoroughly the next 3-4 days!

I'll friend you on steam anyways. I'll be working 12 hour shifts for the next 6 days so I guess I'll hold off. I'll be eagerly waiting for the weekend and hopeful update. I've been trying to get this HTPC perfect for years and this really is the last part I'd like to perfect. Thanks again!

Hey Guys, been following this topic with interest since the original thread. Have the same problem as cammelspit with the steam controller staying focused on launchbox and not the recently launched emulator. Unfortunately after reading and rereading about 100 times the directions to make this work I am nowhere near getting launchbox to use the proxy to launch the emulator. Would it be possible to have some step by step instructions, screenshots or video on how to do this? I would gladly help test as well but can't seem to get through step one at this point, which is launching an emulator through the proxy through bigbox running through steam. Semirelated, Cammelspit I have seen your name all over on posts related to the steamcontroller and have seen your profiles. Any way for me to see all your profiles to download and then with this program do I need a separate controller profile for each game or is it possible to have it launch a rom through visualboy advance and have all roms use the same profile through this? Thanks for the help and working on making this happen. I also have not been able to use a frontend with the steam controller and strongly dislike ICE.
