Hey all, new to LaunchBox here, looking forward to playing all my old PC games. I have the CD's and all, and the installations seem to be going okay, but when I try to play the games (the CD is in the drive), Dosbox initially pops up and then... nothing. What gives? How do I go about troubleshooting this?
Running Windows 10, on a fairly powerful PC, nothing super extreme.
The game I have been trying is Rollercoaster Tycoon 2, also tried Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.
Thanks in advance. Totally lost noob here.
Can't Start My Games

You made a good point, so I completely uninstalled the games, reinstalled them, and imported them into Launchbox as Windows games, and now I'm getting the same result trying to play these as I did trying to play them outside of Launchbox I was hoping Launchbox would emulate the older systems somehow, but I'm getting the same error I was getting before.
Regarding this other suggestion,
I looked for the config button, but it was grayed out, presumably because my games are not DOS games, they're 90's Windows games. I felt dumb when I realized that, for what it's worth.
So to reiterate, I'm a real noob at LaunchBox. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way I could be using the application to solve my problems? Or should I be looking for a solution somewhere else because Launchbox won't do what I want it to? (I came to Launchbox in the first place because I have yet to successfully run any of my old PC games on my brand new Windows 10 machine).
Thanks again for the help. Was feeling quite alone out here.
