Additional App Feature

[launcherbox]

I'm looking to set up certain roms in such a way as to have a different version playable through the LB right-click menu. I understand I can do this through the Additional App feature, and yes, it works great - almost perfect. The issue I'm having now is, say I want F-Zero in my Snes Platform to run through RetroArch, via the Snes9x core....cool, I set it up that way and it works perfectly. However, I also want to have the HD Widescreen version of F-Zero available to me through the right-click menu, so I go about  setting this up through Additional Apps. I get all the way, until I realise that using this method, there's no way to tell Launchbox which core to use for RetroArch under the Additional App settings, and it will default to the core chosen under the RA emulator settings. I'd need to be able to tell LB that this additional app game needs RA to run it with the bsnes hd core....and there's no way to do that - that I can see.

 

So unless I'm missing something obvious, is there a way this functionality can be added?

 

TLDR - Additional Apps has no custom command line config options available when you choose "use emulator", so you can't use different cores other than what the default is for that specific platform

 

Many thanks, keep up the amazing work!

Ok quick & dirty workaround for now...I created a second instance of RetrArch under my LaunchBox emulator settings (named it RetroArch (HD Widescreen), set an associated platform of Snes, chose the Bsnes HD core, and saved. Then under additional apps for F-Zero, I pointed the alternate version to the new instance of RetroArch I created, and voila, working away. Still, it'd be great if the Associated Platform, "Use Emulator" setting allowed you to set custom command line configs for that emulator.
