UPDATE - I think the LB 13.19 update broke this This has been working great up until this am. I made no changes of any kind. Thirdscreen is missing from the drop-down menu in launchbox and I get the error below in bigbox when running from there. removing and re-adding the plugin had no effect. BinaryFormatter serialization and deserialization have been removed. See https://aka.ms/binaryformatter for more information.

If I make a playlist, it will automatically appear under its parent in Launchbox without the need for any additional steps. Why doesn't BigBox do the exact same thing? Am I misunderstanding this? Is there some way to set a hot-key that will "jump" you to a specific playlist?

Anyone want to help me out? Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I would like to start by saying this tool works great! I was able to generate the shortcuts and import them WITHOUT assigning an emulator per the video. However, I was prompted to assign an emulator upon launching any of these games. As a work-around, I added the command line (aka cmd) to launchbox as an emulator. Here is how I did it: go to "Tools > manage > emulators" now select "add" in the new window, give the emulator the name "cmd" (or whatever you like), then add the command-line to the "Application path" in my case its "C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe" add the command-line parameter "/c" without quotes. this tells the computer to close out the command-line window after the launch executes. also, check the box to "hide" the console/cmd window. Finally add the "Microsoft Xbox Live Arcade" platform and set "cmd" as the default emulator that's it! now you can launch shortcuts without using an emulator. EXTRA STUFF: if the game you are importing has a patch, you have to include it in the shortcut. Browse to the shortcut, right click and view properties. the "target" contains the ENTIRE launch command responsible for executing the game (launchbox is not doing it). it looks like this: "Z:\PATH-TO-EMULATOR\Xenia Canary\xenia_canary.exe" "Z:\Emulation\Microsoft Xbox 360\Xbox Live Arcade\3 on 3 NHL Arcade\58410975\000D0000\B33BCD40B743939135673278470A8DD80BC64587" You will have to manually add the patch to the command: "Z:\PATH-TO-EMULATOR\Xenia Canary\xenia_canary.exe" "Z:\Emulation\Microsoft Xbox 360\Xbox Live Arcade\3 on 3 NHL Arcade\58410975\000D0000\B33BCD40B743939135673278470A8DD80BC64587" --config "Z:\PATH-TO-EMULATOR\Xenia Canary\patches\PATCH-NAME-HERE.toml"

I cannot find the "sort order" feature. Where is it located?

Some of the games that show up in Launchbox simply do not show up in Bigbox. None of the "hide" options are enabled in settings. I cannot figure out why? What am I doing wrong? As an example, you can see "gears of war 5" listed in the "windows" platform on launchbox (top left corner) In Bigbox mode Gears 1 and 4 are listed, but Gears 5 is missing. This theme is "The POC". I tried switching to others, but the problem is the same.

This was my answer. Go to "edit game > emulation", check the "use custom command line params" box then use --config "\path\title.config.toml" All of the actual config can be done in notepad and/or xenia manager. Unfortunately you will have to do this for every game. I hope this helps the next person.

Has anyone found a solution to this? Launchbox default method works, but fails to use the custom config file unique to the game = \path\emulator.exe "\path\game.iso" Setting Xenia Manager as the emulator works and launches the game with the proper config file but LB/BB doesn't support this = "\path\xenia manager.exe" "Game title" The problem is launchbox wants a rom in the path and the "application command-line params" cannot be used unless a rom is specified. The shortcut fix described above does not work and making an emulator for each game crazy. No way I am the only one with this problem. I may end up writing a powershell script to launch 360 games if nobody has any ideas.
