You can create a Category and place them in it. That is what I did, created a Category called Playlists and set all playlists to show under there. You cannot make a Platform called "Collections" and place them in it. As platforms will only show up if you import a game into it.

Looks like maybe an error in code in the theme you are using. What theme is it? Did you try other themes to see if you get the same error?

In Launchbox right click a playlist and choose edit. Go to the parents tab and check the box for the platform or platform category you want it to show under. If you check multiple boxes it will show in multiple places.

Thanks @JoeViking245 Have not had a chance to test. Was hoping to be home the other night from a work trip. Will report back once I can.

Select all games for a platform and then go to >Tools>Change Roms Folder Path for Selected Games...

I found a similar thread. Close Launchbox and removed the \Launchbox\CerfSharp folder (I would just move it to be safe) and then reopen Launchbox. It will regenerate it. See if that helps.

Tagging @Jason Carr I remember a similar issue and Jason had someone delete the CerfSharp folder from Launchbox. But I would not do that until you get a response.

Version 2.1.3 I downloaded it when I made the last post, took about a minute to set up and works fine in Launchbox.

Not sure about what version you are using, but I just tried the emulator and it has a "Start in Fullscreen" option. With that ticked it worked without issue. I do not use this emulator so not sure if what I have is old or the latest version. If that does not work for you, try putting the AHK below in the "Running Auto Hot Key" tab in your emulator setup within Launchbox. I believe when you use the controller automation in Launchbox it sends Escape which is why you see it dropping out of fullscreen when you use it. This AHK will make Escape key act as Alt+F4. ESC:: Send !{f4}

Thanks @JoeViking245 I will give it a test later tonight.

Looking to the AHK gurus for some help. In need of an AHK that will: Delay 8 seconds then Send (Right Arrow Key) and then Send "6" after an exe opens.

Before you ever attempt to import something into Launchbox it is usually best to set the emulator up first and test the games there first, as well as your controls. This way it helps eliminate Launchbox being the issue and it is easier to identify it being a rom issue. Which version of Mame do you plan on sticking with?

You may be able to script an Auto Hot Key to do this. I am not versed in AHK so could not assist. I would suggest posting in the AHK thread and see if someone can chime in. We have a couple users that are pretty experienced.

For controllers there is no option in Launchbox to bind to a single button. You can with a keyboard key. This is likely due to the fact a controller is limited in buttons and it could conflict with controls in game.

Add one of the AHK scripts below to the "Running Auto Hot Key" tab in your Project64 emulator setup in Launchbox. This one is pretty standard and used most often. ; This section closes Project64 when pressing Escape $Esc:: { Process, Close, {{{StartupEXE}}} } This second version is a safer way to close an emulator. The first version force closes. It is best for emulators that have to close properly to ensure save states get saved. $Esc::WinClose, ahk_exe Project64.exe

Which specific emulator. There are more than one that emulate N64.

You just need to uncheck the box in the Arcade (Category) listing. Then all playlists will show up as a subcategory of Arcade. So you will have 3 tiers. Arcade (Category) > Arcade (Platform) > then all your playlists. By keeping both checked, you can see in my image when I edited my Castlevania playlist, it puts it both under the Arcade (Category) and under the Arcade (Platform)

Yeah, sucks about the drive failing. But happy to see you got it sorted.

Does it run outside of Launchbox? If it does it could be the Startup screen causing issues, try turning it off for that game. Right click and edit the game in Launchbox. Go to the Startup tab and click override and uncheck Enable Startups.

Yes, using 0.2a but I just tested with 0.1.1a and no issues. There is a slight delay with a black screen before closing, but it closes from both full screen and windowed.

I would share pics like @JoeViking245 has so maybe we can spot something in the set-up.

It works perfectly on my end for fullscreen or windowed Super Model 3 emulator. No hit or miss. What controller are you using? Could customize an AHK to work, what are the button #’s you are using for “hold” and “close”? Here is how I have it set both my controller automation and the AHK in the emulator. Settings in the emulator itself are basic settings.

That "Close the active window" setting is what will close the emulator. When you are playing a game that is the "active window". So in the controller automation you want to bind a button to the "Hold This Button" then bind a button to the "Close the active window". In my image I have to hold button 7 first then press button 8 and Model3 emulator will shutdown.

Since you have that script in the settings just make sure you set you controller automation in Launchbox and exiting will work with the controller.

@7ank0v1c I was able to test PAL Crash and no issues on one machine, but did get stuttering on another. Only difference I noticed was the one with issues for some reason the overclock setting was on x2. Changed it to x1 like the other one and no issues. So maybe check that setting.
