    Putting it in the Start menu Startup section is how we typically recommend doing it, and I haven't heard of startup times being problematic like that, so I'm still lost on that. There is a way to boot into Big Box as the shell, but we don't generally recommend that. There are threads around here with instructions for that, but I don't have a link handy, so you would need to search, but that might be a good test at least.

    Thanks Jason. I installed a second LB on my SSD with 1 emulator running and the loading times were good, so I think my spinning HD is the problem.

    I boucht a 2TB SSD, so tomorrow I'll try it out.

    Thanks for helping

    Honestly I don't know why that is. I have several similar setups and I've never seen anything like that. How are you starting Big Box on startup? The Start menu's Startup folder?

    Yes, is there another way to do that? It would be easy if Big Box had the option to start at windows startup but I don't know if that is possible? Maybe in the future?

    Do you have a spinning hard drive or an SSD? How fast is the spinning hard drive? I'm guessing startup performance is so slow because of your hard drive, and you probably have lots of things competing for load time on boot up, which ends up slowing it down more.

    My windows is installed on a SSD, but my Arcade folder with LB is installed on a spinning hard drive. I have disabled everything to load on boot except BigBox. I don't know the actual speed of my spinning HD.

    I can't place LB on my SSD because I just have 150GB left. I use it just for Win10

    But the strange thing is that if I load BB from my desktop it starts fast, and that black screen?

  5. I want BigBox to start when my computer starts with a startup Video.

    Here is a list of startup times for BigBox on my computer:

    PC Boot to desktop: 00:20.24

    BB From Desktop: 00:15.39
    BB From Desktop with Startup video: 00:16.96
    BB From Startup Folder: 00:55.48
    BB From Startup Folder with Startup video: 01:17.84

     

    That last one is what I want to use but takes way to long.

    Here is a detailed list what happens when I load BB From Startup Folder with Startup video:

    Boot to desktop: 00:20.08

    Black screen: 00:36.69

    Startup video: 01:03.40

    BigBox: 01:17.84

     

    As you can see when my desktop is loaded it takes almost 17 seconds before I get the black screen, and that black screen stays for almost 27 seconds before my startup video begins.

     

    Result

    If I start my computer and start BigBox manually it takes about 38 seconds to load from shutdown.

    If I do it automatic in the startup folder it takes 78 seconds to load from shutdown.

     

    My Question

    Why do I get that black screen?

    It takes 40 seconds more to load BigBox from Startup. Why is that and what can I do about it?

     

    My Specs

    Windows 10

    Intel i7-4770 3.40GHz

    16 GB RAM

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970

    I am not sure then. Honestly I never looked to see if AHK runs in the background. I have not had any issues with any emulator or exe for that matter not working with an AHK script assigned. I really do not use Steam anymore. I do know many users and mods do and have not seen any reported issues with AHK and something launched through Steam. I am not home to set-up Steam back up with Pinball FX3 to test. It did work when I last had it up a year ago. 

    Ok, thanks.

    One more question, if you open the AutoHotKey.exe in your Launchbox Folder, should AHK start?

    I get the Message:

     

    Script file not found:

    C:\Users\MyComputer\Documents\AutoHotKey.ahk

     

    Is that normal?

    I understand that, just confirming to make sure it is not something else hindering exiting of any kind. 

    Run a Pinball game and hit Alt+F4 and see if it exits properly. No AHK or anything just hit Alt+F4. 

    If you run Pinball FX3.exe without Steam that would be the key combo that would exit it. 

    Yes that works fine

  8. I tried everything I found on the forum but nothing works.

    When I press Esc PFX3 goes into pause menu.

    I use a legit version of PFX3 with Steam.

    I can load single tables with cabinet mode.

    I only use my keyboard for now just to setup my arcade cabinet.

    In LB my Emulator Application Path is set to Steam.exe, setting it to Pinball FX3.exe a window opens "Allow game launch?"

    In "Running AutoHotKey" I typed:

    $Esc::

    {

    Process, Close, {{{StartupEXE}}}

    }

     

    I've set AutoHotKey.exe to run as administrator

     

    Nothing works for me, Can anyone help me please?

      

  9. Can't get rid of screen tearing with hlsl

    renderTimingPixel.png

    I'm using direct 3d to render and have recently started using HLSL but I cannot seem to get rid of screen tearing, even if I enable triple buffering, verticle sync, ect. The only way to get rid of the tearing is to disable HLSL and then it seems to work properly again. Does anyone else have this problem at all? I'm using the latest version of mame with a 660gtx
