Automatic Emulator Configuration Presets

📋 Summary

Add automatic emulator configuration presets to LaunchBox, similar to what other frontends (like RetroBat) already provide. These presets would apply recommended or community-approved settings for supported emulators, saving time for new users and offering convenience for advanced users.


🎯 Feature Overview

  • When adding a new system, LaunchBox automatically applies a recommended configuration preset for the emulator.

  • Presets could include:

    • Recommended – balanced for mid-range PCs.

    • High Definition – optimized for enhanced visuals on 3D platforms.

    • High Performance – prioritizes speed over accuracy.

    • System Accuracy – authentic experience with shaders, bezels, and other accuracy settings.

  • Users can still override and customize settings after presets are applied.

  • Optionally, presets could evolve over time via community-voted configurations, ensuring they stay up to date with emulator advancements.


🛠 Example Use Case

  • A new user imports a PlayStation 2 library. Instead of tweaking Dolphin or PCSX2 manually, they select the Recommended preset and get up-and-running immediately.

  • An advanced user sets up a Dreamcast collection and chooses High Definition, automatically enabling widescreen and higher internal resolution settings without hunting through menus.


📦 Benefits

  • Huge time saver for both new and advanced users.

  • Ensures solid default performance and compatibility right out of the box.

  • Makes LaunchBox more competitive with alternatives like RetroBat.

  • Reduces frustration from misconfigured emulators, while still preserving customization.
