the game is the same, I'm not stupid. this bug is on all steam games, if you decide to add emulators (keeping the roms link format) in launchbox the "Launch With" option is not available. instead in bigbox it works. Try and see.

the platform is Windows, in launchbox the steam games don't give me the possibility to be started in other ways. instead in bigbox if I click on launch with, the choices appear. in launchbox for the same game they do not appear

No one is claiming you are stupid. On the forums, the video shows you seeing the option for Tekken, in the picture of LB you have Tetris selected. Why I said it appears to me to not be the same game.
As stated “Launch With…” only works with games marked as using an emulator. Otherwise you don’t launch the game WITH anything ever, you just launch the application/file the is pointing to.
I just tried changing one of my Steam games to use emulator and the feature appears as normal.

you don't have to change emulator, the game remains configured exactly with import launchbox setting. Steam games simply do not have the possibility to select LAUNCH WITH, it is not clickable in launchbox, in bibox yes, so for example paradoxically I could start a steam game with rocket launcher with bigbox but not with launchbox. It's a bug
I can play tekken by choosing the steam account only with BIGBOX, with launchbox the same game as tekken does not let me choose LAUNCH WITH
. BIGBOX works. LAUNCHBOX HAS THE NOT SELECTABLE OPTION,

with my method I simply added two emulators to the windows platform, I didn't change the tekken configuration,

This doesn't work in launchbox,
this only works in big box -
I see what you mean, we do have a bug. The bug however is in Big Box, not LaunchBox. Launch With… should not appear for non-emulated games. I’ll re-open and mark as bug. That being said, when the bug is resolved you WILL need to edit the games the way I described.

Bug confirmed in Big Box. Launch With is being displayed in Game Details for games not marked to use an emulator.

The bug for me is in launchbox I want to have the choice in it and above all you don't have to remove it in bigbox. Otherwise how to make the choice between two accounts?

add the option for all games, what's the point of taking it off? I hurt myself, you force me to never update launchbox again and only use this version of bigbox. . I don't want to configure all the steam games one by one. Now add the option of choosing between two steam accounts

You don’t have to do this one by one. Simply select all the Steam games that need changed, then press ctrl-e (or right click and selected edit) to bring up the Bulk Edit Wizard. Select Emulator field, and then set it to the emulator you want as default (would assume in your case “.Steam Account 1”). This will then update all the games to be flagged to use an emulator and the Launch With… menu would show correctly in LaunchBox

OK … With my method I had three choices, normal or choice from two accounts, but patience

Responded in your forum post. If Launch With shows in Big Box it will also show in LaunchBox already. The issue is that you're looking at two different games. One has "Use Emulator" set and the other doesn't.
