Need help want startup screen but don't want game over screen

[Jayinem]

I have a lot of games and it seems it's not straight forward in how to make it to where some have a startup screen yet do not have a screen that says game over when you exit. If you are using an emulator game you can easily just go into your emulator settings under edit turn off the game over screen and that will take care of all games for that emulator. Very easy, very straight forward.

The issue comes in with PC games that don't give you the same options. I have around 400 PC games and there's no setting that I know of that would allow all of them to have it where there's a startup screen but no game over screen, or is there? In options there's a Startup Screen option but you can only check the box if you want a startup screen with no option for game over. I have discovered you can highlight all the games you want choose edit and drop field the only one that would seem to apply would be "Startup Screen Shutdown Enabled" but it's confusing to me it doesn't give you the option to disable game over screen only to enable it I think. So I don't know how to have one without the other. But to be fair I'm on an old Launchbox from 4 or 5 years ago and can't update for my own reasons so maybe it's different with an updated Launchbox.

Sure there is.  Edit the game. In the Startup/Pause section, check Override Default Screen Settings, then click Customize.  Check the box to Enable Game Startup Screen and un-check the box to Enable Game Shutdown Screen.  Click OK to save and close.

Sure it does.   Select the games and press Ctrl+E to start the Bulk Edit Wizard.  For the Field, select Startup Screen - Enabled, and for the Value, check the box to enable it.  Click Next, Next.  Click Yes, I would like to make more changes.  This time for the Field, select Startup Screen - Shutdown Enabled, and for the Value, un-check the box to disable it.  Click Next, Next.  Click No.... to close the wizard.

I'm pretty sure this logic hasn't changed in quite a long while.
