LaunchBox PowerShell Scripts

A collection of PowerShell scripts used to manipulate, normalize, and align data with LaunchBox / Big Box configurations.
This repo is intended as a toolbox for cleaning metadata, mass-updating fields, transforming files, and generating/repairing LaunchBox-friendly outputs.

Goals

  • Keep LaunchBox data consistent and predictable
  • Reduce manual editing inside LaunchBox by automating bulk changes
  • Provide repeatable workflows for importing, cleaning, and restructuring data
  • Store scripts in one place with documentation and examples

What You’ll Find Here

Scripts may include tasks like:

  • Cleaning/normalizing game titles (region tags, punctuation, casing, etc.)
  • Renaming ROM/media files to match LaunchBox entries (or vice versa)
  • Converting and transforming data sources (CSV/JSON/XML) into LaunchBox-aligned formats
  • Finding duplicates / mismatches across Platforms, Playlists, and Metadata
  • Bulk edits to LaunchBox XML files (with backups and safety checks)
  • Auditing missing media or broken paths
  • Generating reports for import review

⚠️ Many LaunchBox settings and game libraries are stored in XML. Scripts that modify XML should be used carefully and always with backups.
