I haven't gotten anywhere with this, wondering if anyone has any ideas?

First 2 screenshots are how my platforms are sorted in LB, the 3rd is how it looks in BB. BB use to match what ever order desktop mode had, but I had to troubleshoot some stuff and I ended up just nuking my LB and reinstalling (which helped clean up and speed up a lot of it), so this is happening with the new install. I'm sorting by clicking edit on the platform and adding a number to sort where I want those titles (1 - 40). The last few platforms after the handhelds in my second screenshot, didn't have a number because they just naturally fell to the bottom in the sorting pattern I wanted them . To troubleshoot I tried adding a number to them (everything has a number now), that didn't work. The NES and SNES Hacks have numbers but they are hidden in BB. For troubleshooting I removed the hide in BB checkmark which is why you can see it in my third screenshot. It didn't make a difference. I'm using the most recent public version, and I'm using eXoDOS. I got it from the eXoDOS install of LB because it was easier than just transferring all that DOS stuff to my current config (which at the time I had to reinstall anyway to troubleshoot). BigBox is also showing 'Installed eXoDOS games' as a platform catagory instead of just MS-DOS as it looks in desktop mode. In BB it doesn't matter what theme I've tried, this sorting issue is consistent.

You know how in a game you might unlock stuff like concept art, videos, etc? What about a feature where you can do thank in Launchbox? I know it sounds silly with all the images LB can already download and show you, but I download all that stuff but never really look at it, besides box art and video snaps. Now here is an example of how it would work. Say you are playing Super Mario Bros, and you have RetroAchievements linked to your emulator. When you download all the images (it could be something someone put together here in the forums), LB will put stuff like Fan Art, Concept Art, in a seperate folder. You can obviously find that on your computer where ever you want, but once you achieve certain achievement milestones using RetroAchievements, you will see an 'unlocks' section in Big Box for that game. There you can view the unlocked files. For example the game might have a concept art file for Level one of game, and once you get the achievement complete level one, Big Box will show you the files linked to that achievement. I'm not a dev by any stretch, so I don't know if its possible, but its just an idea I had.

This isn't a problem with PCSX2 from what I can tell, as it will launch the games properly if I run them from itself, but if I open through launchbox PCSX2 will say 'Requested filename '007 - agent under fire (usa)' (or what ever the game is) does not exist' The games are in the same location. And again, if I tell the Emulator to run it from itself it will. I think maybe I need a command line parameters, but anything I enter there like -f -g will throw up an error in the emulator. I can go back to an old version if I need to, but I don't want to as the new versions have achievements and that is mainly what I am trying to test right now.

Currently it is quite slow, and for NES I am transferring the notes from Pat Contri's Ultimate Guide to the NES onto each game, so the notes are lengthy, making it take long to read if I'm in BigBox mode (which I am whenever I am playing).
