Unfortunately the referenced thread doesn't help much with my setup since I'm using a desktop PC (not laptop) with single GPU (aforementioned RX 6700 XT). No onboard graphics. Also, if it matters, I'm using Desktop mode; not Big Box. Without any custom themes. If it is indeed an image cache problem, that sounds like quite poor optimization for this late stage of development (v13.15). Couldn't the image cache be built during the scraping process? It would be far preferable to have scraping take considerably longer because it's also building the cache, rather than dealing with insufferable jank while the cache builds during usage. Maybe I'll just go back to Batocera or Retrobat since I really can't deal with how Launchbox is running ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Performance in Desktop mode and Big Box are both terrible. When selecting a title from the list it take a couple of seconds for the details pane to update and when it does the clear logo, box art and screenshot all stutter and jank onto screen. Is this a problem with cache size or something? I'm using v13.15 with approx 6,500 imported ROMs Windows 11 Pro 23H2 Ryzen 5 7600 64GB DDR5-6000 RAID-0 M.2 (2x2TB) Radeon RX 7600 XT

The mini-PC I recently purchased came preinstalled with Windows 11. It's my first time using it but since I didn't have to install it myself, I thought I'd give it a go. Verdict: I loathe it... I've since installed Windows 10 LTSC. Got rid of my Win 11 problem and its permissions problem at the same time. I know that support for Windows 10 is running short... But I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. Win 11 is an abomination.

Went to properties on the executable and set to always run as administrator. Now the preference is saving/persistent 🤷‍♂️ Windows 11 Pro 21H2

Every time I open Launchbox the side bar goes back to sorting by 'Platform Category'. I don't like this 😑 How can I either: Set LB to remember how I chose to sort things OR Change the default from 'Platform Category' to something other Thanks

Sorry for resurrecting an ancient thread but I'm struggling with this now. If you tell MAME to open a rom and use unibios, how do you tell unibios you want AES mode? Say I launch Metal Slug using "mame.exe -bios unibios40 mslug" the bios is set to MVS by default and I can't see how to change it to AES

Thank you. That got rid of the error going fullscreen. But... Now games have no sound 😭 It's weird.... The game launches in fullscreen, no sound. Then if I exit fullscreen into windowed mode, the sound starts working 🤪 But that's a different issue requiring a different fix. Thanks for the info on editing the ini file.

Nevermind... New romset it is 🙄😞 Note to anyone who wants to avoid the same headache: SAVE A COPY OF YOUR CURRENT FBNEO CORE TO THE CLOUD!

Thank you. The core now loads. As expected I'm now getting incompatible ROM errors... So I either need to update my romset (which I would really prefer not to do) or roll back to v1.0.0.02 of the FBneo core. FBneo is such a royal pain in the arse. Anyone know where to download depreciated Retroarch cores?

I've tried a bunch of cores: fbneo_libretro, fbalpha2012_neogeo_libretro, fbalpha2012_libretro, mame2000_libretro, mame2003_libretro, mame2003_plus_libretro, mame2010_libretro, mame_libretro All have the same result: mouse cursor turns into a pinwheel for a few seconds while it tries to load and then... nothing. These roms (Metal Slug games) were working fine with the fbneo_libretro core last week. I updated all Retroarch installed cores and now not working. Normally with FBneo core compatibility issues due to new release I'd expect the core to load and present the "this rom is known but..." error message but that's not happening. Nevertheless I think that is the issue. Is it possible to download FBneo v1.0.0.02 core from somewhere? Google isn't showing up much when I search. Also would love an alternative emulator which has command line switches (can be used with Launchbox) if anyone has recommendations. Only thing is I definitely want to play the roms in home console (AES) mode; not the arcade cabinet (MVS) mode.

I got a reply from someone over at TheOven.org who is already running WinPE as the OS in their arcade cabinet! There is light at the end of the tunnel I have asked them a bunch of questions because I am honestly out of my depth. They were also interested to hear about the Launchbox frontend and just downloaded it to check it out

I'm honored to get a response from the man Jason himself; and so quickly Thanks for the input. I'll head over to the TheOven.org right now to ask the guys there how I can go about adding the rest of the DirectX libraries.

By the way, the point of this build is that it will be barebones and run on ancient hardware.

I'm a Launch Box user from way back. Before the days of Big Box mode. I then found myself way too busy with work and family to have any fun So now that I'm gloriously unemployed (I'm honestly loving it) and have time to do what I love, Launch Box was on the top of my list. My how it has grown I'm trying to compile a build of WinPE (Windows Preinstallation Environment) which contains all of the dependancies for Launchbox and various emulators. So far I've managed to compile a build which is 2.6gb in size and contains: .Net Framework C++ Runtime libraries Direct X 11 various .dll files needed for certain emulators In this environment Launchbox runs fine in desktop mode. However Big Box mode crashes pretty much instantly. I realize this is unintended usage and in no way warrants support. However if anyone here is able to tell me exactly what Big Box requires in order to run, I will be able to include those dependencies in my WinPE build. So if anyone here has that knowledge it would be a great help to me!
