MBBS Launcher v1.55

What's New

πŸ—‚οΈ App Manager (Beta)

A new floating status window that shows the live running state of your BBS and all auto-launch programs at a glance.

  • See at a glance whether each program is running, stopped, pending launch, or crashed
  • Manually launch or stop individual programs without touching the main launcher screen
  • Optional auto-show when the BBS starts
  • Open it anytime from the main launcher (configurable in settings)

πŸ”’ Run as Administrator Required

MBBS Launcher now requires administrator privileges for proper operation.

  • UAC elevation prompt is automatically displayed on launch
  • Ensures reliable process management, foreground window control, and system integration
  • Required for correct behavior on Windows 10 and Windows 11

πŸ” Auto Launch Duplicate Detection

Auto Launch programs are now checked against running processes before being started.

  • If a configured auto-launch app is already running, it will be skipped β€” no duplicate instances
  • Works even if the program was started outside MBBS Launcher
  • Skip events are recorded in audit.log for your records
  • Manual menu launches (Options 1–8) are not affected

Installation

  1. Download MBBS Launcher.exe below
  2. Place it in your BBS directory (alongside MBBSLauncher.ini)
  3. Run as Administrator (Windows will prompt automatically)
  4. Configure programs via F12

System Requirements

  • Windows 7 / Server 2012 or later
  • No .NET runtime required β€” self-contained build
  • ~65 MB disk space
  • Administrator privileges
