Im curious about some of these Launchbox frontends I've been seeing that have PS4 and PS5 games in their build I have a pre-build launchbox that came with ps4 and ps5 games but when I checked to see what emulation runs it, it says nothing. But when I try to upload a ps5 game, it keeps asking for an emulator. I don't get it.

Hey everyone, After spending a good amount of time navigating the current Tools menu in LaunchBox, I noticed a recurring problem: cluttered options, repetitive wording, and unclear groupings. This makes the interface harder to use, especially for new users. With UX principles like YAGNI, Separation of Concerns, and SOLID in mind, I put together a proposed overhaul of the Tools and related menus — without changing functionality (which we know is not currently possible), but focusing on grouping and naming. Restructured Sections Here are the new top-level categories: 🎮 Collection → Import, Add Game, Achievements, Audit, Platforms 🧠 Metadata & Media → Update metadata/images, image packs, community ratings 🧩 Emulators & Scripts → Emulators, Plugins, DOSBox, AutoHotKey 🛠️ Tools → Scan, File operations, Cloud ⚙️ Settings & Help → System options, tutorials, support 🖥️ View → Interface layout, media options, filters, sorting Core Ideas No removed features — everything remains available. Better grouping by context: Collection, Metadata, Media, Emulators, Tools, Cloud, etc. Remove redundant verbs: e.g., “Update Metadata” → Update → Metadata Two-level max depth, easy to scan. Before & After Examples Current Label Proposed Import ROM Files → Single Platform Import → ROMs Update All Images Update → All Images Update All Missing Media Update → Missing Media Search for Achievements Collection → Achievements Consolidate ROMs Files → Consolidate Edit AutoHotKey Script for DOSBox Games AutoHotKey Scripts → DOSBox This is 100% backwards-compatible and purely an interface/UX suggestion. I believe this cleanup would make a huge difference in usability without compromising power users or existing workflows. I have attached an MD file containing the full menu overhaul proposal along with the mappings from the current version. Would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or support to make this proposal more visible. Cheers! menu-refactor.md

How do I run Makaron emulator with launchbox? it uses .data files only or can any other emulator run Naomi .data files? Thanks

Hello good afternoon! In my case I have 2 devices with LaunchBox, however I wanted to do the following: -> When I update one, where I put a ROM I can copy "only" the files it needs for this, since my folder has 80GB total, and copying from one place to another all the time is very time consuming. Example: In the External HD I put 2 roms of PS1, and when I get home to copy only those 2 roms and the files that I need for the LaunchBox to recognize what I did in the External HD. No need to copy everything again. Thank you
