updated launchbox (v 6.8) issue

Former user created an issue

I have run into a couple of issues with the recent update of Launcbox. The first issue is that prior to the launch of the newest update I found launchbox through a youtube video by SimplyAustin he showed us how to download, install, and populate launch box so that we could begin playing the rom's or iso's we owned which was a simple process of following the import wizard prompts. Now I am a fan of the Final Fantasy series in particular and RPG's in general so as I'm sure you can imagine there are MANY games particularly prior to the PS3 and Xbox360 that have multiple disks. Prior to the update I was able to import those games and each disk show in my library as individual games when the program was updated those games remained in my inventory with no problems; however, I am no longer able to import games with multiple disks, only the first disk will import each subsequent disk does not import if I go into my files and try to import each disk separately (being one of those people that makes a folder for each game/disk) I am given an error message at first I thought the problem was the files themselves so I deleted the files downloaded new copies and tried again (I did this 5 times) to no avail. finally in an epiphany I decided to test the games in the emulator directly without launching from the launchbox program and to my surprise I discovered that the games work just fine when launched that way. so I can only assume that the problem is in the launchbox program. the second issue is a little more direct in the nintendo64 I use project64 which prior to the update launched games without any problems after the update I am no longer able to launch games for the 64 from launchbox I can launch and play them in the emulator directly but if I try launching from launchbox the emulator opens with an error screen and an ok button if I click ok I can then either close the emulator or I can direct it to run the rom file and play without issue I have tried 3 times to get the Launchbox program to recognize the games that it previously recognized but have failed to succeed.

    Hi Anonymous, only the first disc imports now because subsequent discs are added as additional apps. This is by design. Nothing changed regarding Project64 so I expect that is instead a configuration issue.
