Two issues: Default emulator can't be changed, and WinUAE doesn't work properly in LB/BB

First, with default emulator. When I change from Retroarch to another emulator, it won't stay changed. For example, I did this both with N64 and Amiga. I went into the manage emulators settings > associated platforms and deleted N64 and Amiga from retroarch. Then I added Project 64 and WinUAE, and made those the default emulator. When I launch it in LB/BB it still launches in Retroarch, but I can tell it to launch in P64 or WinUAE if I select launch with. 

Second issue, when I do launch an amiga game in LB/BB I can't control it unless I alt tab out, even then it only controls for 2 or 3 seconds, so its unplayable. I think the controls are being grabbed by another window. This doesn't happen if I launch the emulator outside of LB/BB, so its something to do with Launchbox. I tried turning off game startup screens, but that wasn't it. 

 

Thoughts?

This is not how you change the emulator for your games, for single games just right click and edit a game and change the emulator in the edit window. For all games in a platform select all the games using Control + A and then edit with Control + E, this brings up the bulk edit tool, select emulator from the first drop down menu that appears and then in the 2nd dropdown pick the emulator you want to use and finish out the wizard.

I don't use WinUAE in LB so I cannot help you with that one, sorry.

Thanks, that fixed it. The other issue appears to be with the Steam overlay

 

EDIT or rather launching through steam in general cause disabling the overlay didn't fix it.

fsuae emulator is better than winuae my friend. its portable as well and user friendly. Youtube provides a long almost hour video of how to configure and manipulate the fsuae emulator. i highly suggest studying that video because the fsuae emulator's config files that you make for your games start right up with launchbox.
