Allow listing multiple sources

Issue #272 new
Former user created an issue

I use LaunchBox as a general database of my entire gaming collection, and there are several games that I own either on different systems, or on different storefronts, and I'd like to be able to check off multiple sources for my games (for example a game that I own on both Steam and GOG, I'd like to be able to check off both Steam and GOG as sources).

I'd really appreciate this as an update, and it would make things more convenient and comprehensive for me.

Thank you.

    i want to be able to add my GOG library as one of the platforms. Which.... BTW... i was naive thinking that Steam would be a platform also... but it put all of those game under PC Games along with all the random games i have installed on my system... i have spent the past week separating them out. i have noticed that LaunchBox DID NOT import all of my Steam games. So what do i do now?? Do another Import?.... and watch LaunchBox import all of my PC games that don't belong to Steam..!!!! i also don't understand why it would import all titles... i thought it would just import for the games i have installed.... that is just so crazy.!!! .....But, Yeah... i want to be able to import my GOG library.. and have GOG be a platform and NOT have all of those games all lumped up with my Steam games and my regular PC Games. So Stupid.. i can't believe i was such a sucker buying this software...!!!! One born every minute.

    Hello, David. I'm happy to give you a refund if you're unsatisfied. For what it's worth there are ways to separate out Steam and GOG via platforms if that's what you want to do. Games that are imported from Steam all have a Source of Steam and I believe also have a Status of Imported from Steam. So you can filter just to those games and easily change the platform for all of them.

    Let me know if you still want a refund and I'll gladly send it out. For heaven's sake, I'm not out to "sucker" anyone.

My C Drive decided to crash on me.. i guess SSDs don't last forever.?!<br> i don't want a refund. i guess i was expecting the world. i was hoping for way too much.<br> The videos on the website make Big Box look SOOOO Cool.!!! When i added my Atari 2600 ROMS...<br> All the metadata wasn't downloaded... so i re-ran the import.. i got more that time.. but still not all.. it made me mad.. <br> That is NOT your fault..!!! Then.. when i imported my Steam games.. i thought it would only import those installed on my system.<br> i had no clue that it would import my Steam library.. Threw me for a loop... and not all of them were there..<br> i thought.. okay.. if it's going to be like that.. i want the full list to be there... now.. how to i add the ones that are missing???<br> As for GOG... when clicking on the drop down list.. and clicking on import... there is NO option for GOG..!!!<br> Sure.. i can import the ones i have installed as PC Games.. and then change the metadata to say GOG....<br> But.. if i can import my Steam library... why not import my GOG library??? i know.. You just haven't got to that yet?? right?<br> <br> Don't get me wrong.. i was upset.. but i do kind of like the thought of the software... and.. it's starting to grow on me.<br> i have noticed.. since i imported my 48000 Commodore 64 ROMs.. that now LaunchBox tends to hang or freeze up every time<br> i click on something.. like if i click on a different platform the screen locks up... kind of jumps to the top/left... <br> and then about 3 seconds later.... displays what i was looking for... i might take out the Commodore ROMs....<br> Just have my Atari, NES, and SNES Roms... and my PC games... don't want to overload LaunchBox...<br> Thanks for getting back to me.. i am sorry for getting upset.... i just didn't understand why it was not doing what i wanted it to do.<br> i am sure with future updates the software will only get better and better.<br> Thanks, David, ThunderBoyDavid<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Unbroken Software wrote: <blockquote

    Thanks, David. Glad to hear you've chosen to run with it. Feel free to add separate tickets for stuff like a separate GOG import, etc. We like to keep things in separate tickets so that we can track them all easily. Thanks!

    No worries, it happens. If you need help in configuring your set up then take a look at our Tutorials, they should help you get set up.

    As for scraping, you'll have the best results if you use the Drop down list when adding systems. There may be some games with no metadata or images though.

    I am going to close this ticket then if you are satisfied. If you need it re-opened or you need to create new tickets please feel free to do so.

Something ain't right. Seems like when i installed v5.9....<br> When i imported my Atari 2600 ROMs.. when it got to the part about what Emulator to use....<br> LaunchBox actually suggested RetroArch... But this time.. with v5.10.. that didn't happen.<br> So i downloaded RetroArch myself.. unzipped it.. put it where i wanted it.. and re-ran LaunchBox...<br> Tried to run a game.. and got an error saying that d3dx9_43.dll was missing. No problem.. pulled that off the web.<br> Put the dll in the install folder.. re-ran LaunchBox... Can NOT run a game from within LaunchBox....<br> But i can run Big Box and Run games..  ...Just wanted to let You know.. i hope that i am helping You.!!??<br> Thanks, David, ThunderBoyDavid<br> <br> <br> <br> Brad Cheyne wrote: <blockquote
