Game & Watch games. Maybe a really stupid question, but...

[Jigen271]

OK, folks here goes.  I'm currently building an Nintendo only emulation station using LaunchBox and BigBox for a friend.  It will only contain Japanese games from all Nintendo systems (If possible)  I recently ran across dumps of about 19 Game & Watch games in the .mgw format.  I initially thought that all titles had been dumped in the .mgw format.  I have a full physical set of the Japanese G&W titles, so I scanned my boxes boxes and flyers.  I took beautiful 3D images of the boxes and really good pics of the units themselves.  Come to find out, not all the titles have been released in .mgw format.  That's OK.  I know that it's probable a true pain in the ass to "simulate" these games as (from what I understand) all the graphics have to be created independently for the simulator.  What's the question?  I'm getting to it.  I did some research online and found a really awesome site that simulates ALL (or so I believe) Nintendo released titles.  Is there any way in LaunchBox to link a web address in LaunchBox to open a browser for the title chosen for play online in Fullscreen?  These are extremely beautifully done!  I'd like to be able to launch the titles from LaunchBox.  Possible?   The talented programmer's name I do not know but if you search for Game & Watch RetroFab simulation, you'll find it.  I'd still like to use the Unified Game&Watch intro video as well as my scans, clear logos, Pics and "In-game" videos I've created.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks ahead of time for your assistance.

Hello there, if i understand correctly the programmers "name" you are talking about is "Itizso" and in his "itch.io" page has made a LOT and GREAT handheld simulations of Nintendo's "Game & Watch" titles alongside others (check here). Of course LaunchBox is capable of using links as launching path by just adding the url in the 'Launching tab' > as 'application path', and it will use the systems default browser. In fact i use his page in my personal Launchbox installation.

Of course it will work the same for individual games but you have to press the 'play' button on the page  for the game to load.

I hope I helped you. 😃
