📋 Summary
Add support for Discord Rich Presence, allowing LaunchBox to display the currently active game on a user’s Discord status.
🎯 Feature Overview
When a game is launched through LaunchBox or Big Box, Discord would automatically update the user’s status to reflect:
The name of the game currently being played
The platform (optional: e.g., NES, PC, Arcade)
LaunchBox or Big Box branding (optional)
This would be similar to how other platforms (like Steam or RetroArch) integrate with Discord.
🛠 Example Use Case
A user starts Castlevania: Symphony of the Night via LaunchBox.
On Discord, their friends now see:
🎮 Playing: Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PlayStation) via LaunchBox
📦 Benefits
Share game activity easily with friends
Great for social play or streaming coordination
Adds polish and modern connectivity to the platform
Optional toggle for privacy-conscious users
💡 Notes
Could include options in LaunchBox settings to enable/disable Rich Presence, customize status text, or show/hide platform names. Integration should respect Discord’s API guidelines.
