When I start the emulator with the Enter key, it starts twice.

About the Windows version of LaunchBox.
Since quite some time ago, there has been an issue where starting a game with the Enter key causes most emulators to start twice. (For example, MAME)
There is no problem if you start the game with Ctrl+P.

How about on your PC?
Is this a feature or a bug?

 

OS: Windows 10 64bit
LaunchBox version: Latest beta version

This happens to me with all of the emulators I have added to Launchbox if I start any game by hitting ENTER and I have yet to find any fix for it. I fail to understand how this could be a feature. It's been an ongoing issue for me, and I think quite a few other people if you search the forum, for years now.

This problem seems to have been fixed without anyone noticing. A system where moderators do not respond to troubleshooting posts and the problem is fixed without anyone noticing lacks sincerity and may lead to distrust in Launchbox management, so I hope they will improve it in the future.

Hey @Eyebrows Cat AstrBob from the LB community team here. This specific issue you described was a bug that was addressed in LaunchBox 13.16, of which you can see the full release notes here.

Fixed: Issue where launching a game in LaunchBox by pressing enter on the keyboard could inadvertently open two instances of the game under specific conditions

I’m hoping this is the same issue you were referring to, and that updating your LaunchBox version is what fixed this, though if that is not the case please let me know. I appreciate it’s frustrating when things don’t work as expected. As we’re a community-driven platform, the community does their best to try and help people on the forum where they can.
