Honestly sounds like you have an issue with explorer and Win32 processes on your computer. If File Explorer is crashing when you press browse that's not our code running and is native Windows calls. If you haven't already make sure to run command prompt as admin and run "DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth" (without the quotes) first and let it run. This ensure Windows has the latest and correct definitions for what files your OS should be using. Then run "sfc /scannow" (again, without the quotes) and let it run and see if it corrects anything. If it does restart your computer. File explorer and those Win32 processes also REALLY lag behind if you have network locations not actually hooked in and communicating properly. I have a network drive that is often off and Windows still tries to ping the thing when File Explorer first opens and it causes issues and extreme delays at times in my own File Explorer processes across several apps (and even Windows itself). Sometimes you can alleviate the issues with it doing so by opening File Explorer in windows FIRST, and THEN doing it in the app. I believe it has a sort of response cache it'll utilize and causes it to happen far less often (or least does on my machine). Also some of what you're doing is still WAY more work than you'd need to do even if you can't run File Explorer via LB. For example import the game (can do multiple by just drag/dropping files from File Explorer to LaunchBox) and then in the import options check the box that says something like "Use Folder Name for Game Name" should help if the exe is some random filename. If it doesn't rename the title and then in the edit game window immediately press "Search for Metadata" and then pick the game from the drop down. Then you can go to the Images or Video tab and grab images for it from there, or when you're done doing that for all the games you are imported just run the Download Metadata/Media wizard. If THAT doesn't find the images you need and you have to manually grab them, instead of manually moving/renaming them just open the Edit Game window for the game you're adding them to and then go to the Images tab and drag the files to the preview area. Now set the Image Type for those images that you added and save the Window. We'll copy the images to where they need to go and name them correctly for you.

Flashpoint is the first place I'd look for any Flash Game. If they have it then yes you'd be able to launch it via LB though I admit I don't remember what the best way to implement it in LB is. I know there are several plugins floating around that made that process easier. I'd assume one of them is still the best bet. I looked on their database and they have a demo version of the game. Don't know enough about that title to know if a full version was released or what the difference between the two is content wise.

and people think spray and pray only works in Call of Duty...

You're putting in the legacy location instead of where they currently go. You need to put it in \\LaunchBox\Images\Media Packs\Platform Icons\{Pack Name (must be the pack you have enabled}. If you ALWAYS want to use it regardless of what pack you have enabled you can alternatively put it in \\LaunchBox\Images\Media Packs\Overrides\Platform Icons

Was able to rep and have code in place to correct. Thanks for the report!

You getting an error we can look at or the app just hard close?

We've talked with the RetroAchievements team. A major ISP in Spain is currently blocking HTTP traffic to their API. Currently it sounds that HTTPS is still working so I'll take a look at the code and get it all converted before our next release. In the meantime the only work around I'm aware of is to use a VPN.

You can change what path all that is stored in in the emulator settings last I knew. Change the path for the "Emulated System Storage Folder" to be where you want em saved. That being said you don't actually play the ROM files you have in Vita. It takes the data from them and installs them to storage and then plays from there. You don't actually need the ROM files once installed to the emulator unless they've really changed it all up since I last looked into it.

Bezel Project recently changed how a lot of their configuration works that we haven't changed on our side so the output of running BP independently vs us running it the process for you at this point can be quite a bit different. Honestly I'd just let LB grab em for you and turn on the settings as it tends to be a bit more full proof. That being said @dragon57 may be able to better help you understand what you need to be checking for.

Fan running at high speed almost never has anything to do with RAM. Just means your computer is getting hot. Fans may also pre-emptively be cranked up when your CPU (or sometimes GPU) is working close to full capacity. Given that Beelinks are small PCs their airflow in general is pretty lacking and so their fans have to be running pretty hard all the time. That being said overall your symptoms point more to a CPU or drive issue than it does a memory one. 16gb on a Windows machine unfortunately is pretty slim these days given how wasteful the OS is, so I'm sure the RAM update wouldn't hurt but I'm not sure it'd solve all the issues you're seeing.

We haven't changed any OS requirements. I personally still run Win10 and can run LB just fine. I DO believe we require 64bit OS but it's been like that for a WHILE now. I'd run command prompt as admin and run "sfc /scannow" (without quotes) and if it detects anything restart your computer then try again.

Notice you can move the items up and down to reorder them how you want.

It now mimics the order you set in options. Sidebar order does as well.

FAIRLY certain this is a known issue already fixed in the current beta release.

This is a known issue with WMP, especially in multi-monitor environments. If you're using an Nvidia GPU you can go into their control panel and enable full range color range for the monitor in question and it'll correct this.

Where are you seeing the incorrect number? What theme are you using?

He's rebuilt cache records in order to help with the solution but I haven't gotten word of anything since. May be best to reach out via their website. I'll reach out and see if they have a preferred place to report things like this in the future so they have better visibility on what is all affected.

Is this after returning to LB from sleep, or just via normal use?

Thanks I updated this string for you.

Don't do it here, this is being kept alive just so we can go back and look through it if we want, otherwise this website is no longer in use and feedback should be used for reporting any issues or requesting features.

Fix has been put in for MAME importer that will be in next beta. Currently the issue that was reported with the Next button being disabled happens if there is an error thrown trying to get versions for MAME that we can auto-download. The fix will make it possible to still manually assign MAME as an emulator when that happens. If you're referring to anything else you'll need to be more specific.

Cool. The emulator you're leaving on may have a leak or is delaying it's resource release and is likely choking Big Box because of it. Glad you have a work around.

The call in question won't even exist in next version so we should be good to go. Grab beta 3 once it's out to confirm.

We just tell Windows to open the file in question, we don't even tell it what app to use to do so. If you're running into issue may point to a bad adobe install. All we're doing is the same thing that happens when you double click a file in File Explorer.

We have a few older vert themes available on the website. The one I use in my vert cab is my TrueVert theme. It's pretty old and I haven't kept it up to date so there probably things missing in it compared to modern themes but it gets the job done for me and is super simple. I have FauxVert which is the same theme but works on monitors that are physically vertical but Windows still has set as horizontal. I think JaysArcade has another on in the download section as well. That being said VERY few people use their monitor this way and so there aren't very many themes because of it.
