The primary developer is Jason Carr, who originally developed it to improve his experience with [[DOSBox]] but the program became highly customizable over time. LaunchBox today is program agnostic, having been used by BlueMaxima for [[Flashpoint]] before its standalone launcher was introduced. LaunchBox is proprietary freeware, but it has a premium version that includes an HTPC UI called Big Box. It also includes a metadata scraper for some platforms. Carr has previously explored porting LaunchBox to Linux using Mono.<ref>Unbroken Software. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VszIQJa9yL4 LaunchBox for LINUX!? Who's interested...?] January 22, 2018.
