cleverest Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Aargh, I just realized all of my PS2 games will not launch....I changed the games to launch LaunchBoxPCSX2.exe instead as advised and I get a 'loading generic profile' screen (see pic) and then the following error about unexpected parameter, then it fails to launch the emulator... To fix it and launch a game, I unchecked the box to load Customs shows in the last image I attached here, but I don't want to do this individually for the many, many PS2 games I have...I cannot move the games into the PCSX2 folder, they are in the launchbox\games\ps2 folder... How can I uncheck this option in bulk or otherwise fix this error with all my other games that have the check marked? Any help appreciated! - Brett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckp Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I don't use LaunchBoxPCSX2.exe, but I imagine if you want to change something on mass for PS2 games, just do a find/replace all in the Sony Playstation 2.xml file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(deleting the right line, etc), I'll try it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleverest Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 I can't find anything in the XML that corresponds to deleting what is set under that checkbox in the emulator tab when I edit the game...I may have to delete all games (not roms!) and re-add without searching for metadata and see if that clears it...

ckp Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) in the ps2 xml on my install, I see that setting value here (example from Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance): <CommandLine>--fullscreen --cfgpath="Game Configs\Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance"</CommandLine> So, if it's not checked I'm guessing it would look like: <CommandLine /> So, I think for find/replace you might need to use regex in Notepad++ Edited October 2, 2017 by ckp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleverest Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 Yes, I'm using notepad++ and I'm seeing this on every game: <ConfigurationCommandLine>"L:\LaunchBox\Plugins\PCSX2 Configurator\Config Create.ahk" "L:\LaunchBox\Games\Sony Playstation 2\<GAME NAME HERE> "L:\LaunchBox\Emulators\Pcsx2\LaunchBoxPCSX2.exe"</ConfigurationCommandLine> The <GAME NAME HERE> part (that varies in each line) is messing me up trying to delete it and change it to: <ConfigurationCommandLine /> Tips? :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckp Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I think this notepad++ find/replace using regex option for search mode should work: find what: <ConfigurationCommandLine>(.*)</ConfigurationCommandLine> replace with: <ConfigurationCommandLine /> make a copy of the xml file and test it first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleverest Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 LOL funny I figured that out just as you were posting it! Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleverest Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) Except it was: .*? in the middle :-) Edited October 2, 2017 by cleverest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckp Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 i would think both ways would work. i tried (.*) on my xml file and it worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleverest Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 also I had to choose regular expression in the FIND AND REPLACE section and check the .newline option for it to work...for anyone else having this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleverest Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 Odd it worked, tried RUNE... I exited the game tried and other and it failed...tried the same one again that had worked before (Rune) and it fails, checked the EDIT / EMULATOR and it's back! : --fullscreen "L:\LaunchBox\Plugins\PCSX2 Configurator\Config Create.ahk" "L:\LaunchBox\Emulators\Pcsx2\inis\Rune Viking Warlord" "L:\LaunchBox\Emulators\Pcsx2\LaunchBoxPCSX2.exe" ...something keeps adding it? I'm gonna delete all my references/files in PLUGINS that have to do with PCSX2 configurator.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleverest Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 Okay that seemed have fixed it, although each game I launch does say "Using Generic profile" as if using the addon, but I can live with that...not sure how I can use it though since I remove it, LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
