I've been trying it, but I can't get it to work. When I run a game in Launchbox, it opens PowerShell and closes automatically. When I run it directly from PowerShell, I get the following error:

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

I'm 99% of the way there, but I can't quite get it to work. 

If I launch this from LaunchBox, PowerShell pops up and then crashes. Nothing is written to the log. 

If I launch this from PowerShell 7, it works great. Looks like this:

A caveat is that I DID have to add quotes to the ISOpath in powershell for it to run. 

My LaunchBox config looks like this:

I'm hoping someone can see what I might be doing wrong.

Try removing the quotes you have around %romfile%.

OR you can check the box Remove Quotes. (I'd do the prior)

 

EDIT: In fact, you can remove that altogether ("%romfile%") because LaunchBox will append that automatically (as it will show you in the Sample Command).

Haha, funny enough, I was just coming back to report I got it to work by checking that box:

So you were totally spot on! Thanks JoeViking245!

I would have bet anything I'd try that already, but I'm running on 3 hours sleep, so mistakes were likely made haha. 

@MrDeKat Not sure if any of this will help with the issue you are seeing since it's slightly different, but maybe. 

EDIT: 
Came back real quick to say a BIG Thank you to @phunky1 for making this a thing. 
This has been transformative for my archival. So, yeah big big thank you!

You need quotes "" around the ISO path since it has spaces.  "G:\games\my PS games\game name.iso"

Not sure about your other issues, need more details on how you setup.
