Add Network Location Manually Request

[darreldearth]

Any plans to add the ability to manually add a network location rather than just having the app scan the network? when using a VPN to access all the rom files the scan function will not work, as it needs the ability to manually type in the IP address and Port:445 as well as the username and password for the User I'm trying to connect to on my Unraid server. Most file browser apps on the android phone allow adding a share manually, and it would be a lot more efficient having it in the LB App also so we can use the App outside our local network.

Good suggestion. That makes sense, especially for VPN setups where network discovery may not find the server automatically. We’ll discuss this with the team as a possible improvement.

Hi Jameel, thanks for the suggestion. Asobi is already available on Android, and you can import it into LaunchBox as a normal Android app.

Directly launching individual PlayStation games from LaunchBox would require Asobi to provide a public Android launch intent or deep-link API. I couldn’t find one documented yet, so we can’t reliably add it as a supported emulator at this time. If the Asobi developer exposes that functionality, we can investigate a proper integration.
