Wonderboy Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) Hi Everyone, Just discovered Launch Box and I'm impressed with what I have seen so far but I wanted to give it a try with my Steam games before I attempt to import the many Emulation Roms that I have. But right away I have run into a big issue. I followed this video tutorial below but my steam profile page does not list my name in the adress like in the video. It goes more like this: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198005098215/ Instead of: http://steamcommunity.com/id/SentaiBrad Like with Sentai Brad's is in the video. So I put my name into Launchbox anyway and it finds a bunch of games but only a few of them are correct, most of them are not even in my steam library and most of them don't even come up at all (many of them well known games). I also just tried putting the numbers into Launchbox but it tells me that nothing is found and it cant continue, also I made sure my profile is public so that cant be the problem. How do I fix this please? Edited January 15, 2017 by Wonderboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Click edit on your profile and try setting your custom url, and see if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says it's already in use. There appears to be another person with my name and it seems I have been downloading all his game info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Then that's why. Choose a different name and try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, it turns out I had to put the name I login with rather than my profile name for it to work, so I put that name into the custom url and saved it in steam and then put it into launchbox and then it found all my games correctly. Thanks for this. While I have you, can I ask you one more thing: How do I change the background image behind the games images? right now it has my desktop wallpaper displayed and currently looks really bad. I am just looking for something simple for now like this one below for example, or are there themed background images that I can download for each of the systems as well?

SentaiBrad Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 In in the options menu under background. Some of the more flashy settings are Premium only, but there is some customization there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckp Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 The setting I use which looks like your screenshot is in Tools->Options->Images->Default Background-> "Use Launchbox Default Background" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
