4DO/3DO opening without rom loading.

Hi,

 Loving Launchbox and looking into getting everything into it, then jumping over to BigBox, it's just been so easy... till tonight

Anyway, not sure what I'm missing or have mucked up .. I run a command for 4do to load a rom ;

AA_MWY\EMULATORS\3DO> 4do.exe -StartLoadFile "N:\AA_MWY\ROMS\3DO\xxx.iso" and it works fine opens 4do and starts the image running.

I have 4do added to launchbox, the paths are the same, -StartLoadFile is the same, and it opens a blank 4do ( nothing loaded, waiting for disc )  .. it's kinda odd.

So Just now as I was getting this straight in my head, I thought edit looked interesting and indeed if I go into that, I can add "open with emulator" and select 4do and add -StartLoadFIle to Custom Command-Line Parameters under Emulation, and it opens and runs when selected, so I guess I found a workaround, but do I have to do that to each rom ( iso & cue ) ??? That is not in keeping with the ease that I have rapidly become accustomed to but it's very do-able on 60 odd items.

I had some issues with windows associating everything with everything and this is my dev box, not my mame machine so, i've been trying to get it all working and bundled up to export over.

I thought maybe just refreshing the roms, but I can't see that as an option. Next step is go through and edit each entry .. 

Any thoughts on what I'm missing, or is this a thing ?

Cheers,

al.

When you right click a game and go to the Emulation tab what emulator does it show it is trying to use?
