LaunchBox was originally developed as a front-end application for DOSBox, but has since evolved into a powerful multi-platform game launcher and manager for both modern PC games and retro video games. It gives us a better gaming experience, and allows us to manage games more intuitively and efficiently. If your computer has a lot of games, then LaunchBox could be just what you need.

LaunchBox automatically grabs/downloads the metadata and artworks for various platforms of games (such as description text, launch covers, videos), and supports all the major game console emulators. Not only does it manage and beautify your games collection, but also you can launch all your games directly from it, eliminating the hassle of running different games from different paths and using different tools. In addition, LaunchBox has provides color themes, filters, Big Box mode (for arcade cabinets and home theaters), as well as a lot of custom features for a better game experience.

With LaunchBox, all you need to do is import all your games in batch, establish the calling relationship between a game and its launcher, then centrally manage and run every single one of your games. It supports all the major game platforms such as: GOG games, Steam games, Epic games, MAME Arcade games, ROM files, MS-DOS games. From now on, to play any type of game on your computer, you can simply open the LaunchBox, and you don’t need to go into the directory of any games or emulators any more.

So Much More to Come!
Due to the amount of coffee we give our developers, LaunchBox updates at breakneck speeds. We’re constantly adding new features so you’ll never get bored.
We Hate DRM
Your LaunchBox Premium for Windows License is DRM-free, which means that you can deploy it to as many personal computers as you wish. We believe that the time and investment spent fighting piracy and trying to prevent people from stealing from us is better spent adding new features and fixing bugs, and paying users don’t deserve to be inconvenienced by DRM. Take that, society.
Cut-and-Paste Installation
There is no complicated installation process required to upgrade to LaunchBox Premium for Windows. Simply copy the license file you receive into your LaunchBox folder, and your instance of LaunchBox will take care of the rest the next time it starts. There is no data loss, no library corruption, no errors or bug reports, and no headaches.
Portable
LaunchBox is built to be portable, primarily so that it can be installed inside of a Dropbox or portable applications folder, and then sync seamlessly between all of your PCs. Due to this, LaunchBox must be installed inside of a folder that your user account has full permissions to, such as your user folder (default), or your My Documents folder. Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, and other syncing services folders should work perfectly fine as well.
