Pretty sure most of the arcade stuff if you look in downloads you can probably find clear logos for.

Are you using the correct steam profile name, or are you putting in your username or account id?

I don't believe I ever turned Attract Mode on, but I'll take a look when I get home.
At first, this message would only pop up for a split second in Big Box when I tried to escape to the options screen from the game select screen, then crash. Now it just seems to do so randomly when BB is open. This is the only time the error messages stayed on the screen for more than a second, so I took pics.
I would check your bindings and make sure you don't have "Start attract mode" bound to something you use heavily that you may be starting it without realizing it.
Would be curious to know what input devices you have on that machine as well as those errors only close if you push the close button.

It would appear related to attract mode which is something you can turn off if you don't use. So that I can track it down a bit easier, can you tell me what you are doing when you see this error message as well as copy/paste it into the forum post if possible.

It's even beyond Beta at this point! I would go with either "Release candidate" or a plain "Stable release".
I do kind of like "friggin awesome" but I suppose those terms work as well...

How long are you going to abuse your poor creation by insulting it and calling it things like "alpha"? Thing is pretty full featured from what I can tell. Your baby is growing up and turning into a fully fledged application and should be given the respect that comes with it. Should be using words like "release" and "friggin awesome" not those hurtful words previously mentioned...

Still know nothing about Big Box, so maybe you can explain.
Big Box allows you to peruse games to play without changing the collection. It also has several options to lock the interface to make it even more restrictive. Way of letting others play with your games without the concern of them removing or changing anything.

Also helps to have Dolphin real time scanning turned on. I run a similar set up for my Wii games and haven't had any issues.

Thanks @C-Beats. Working fine now.
Glad to hear. Now if only I could solve my own code woes so easily.....

I'm no expert when it comes to RA and the various cores, but as far as I understand HW is a more accurate core meaning it takes far more resources to emulate. I would try the standard "Beetle PSX" core and see if you still see the same results. It is the core I use currently for PS1.

I'm not as familiar with the new plugin interface as I have been knee deep in unrelated code. If I had to take a stab in the dark I would guess it is the DefaultIcon getter and the Bitmap constructor. Properties.Resources.Gold IS a bitmap, no need to try and create a new one. Also can cause memory issues because you are creating a new one every time it gets called (which I assume is every game that it gets put on).

Just to make sure all is correct in your LaunchBox set up. Could you go to that table in LaunchBox, right click and hit edit game. Then in the bottom right where it shows images, could you tell me if the image you think should be displayed is showing in there and what the title is on that image?

So I think that is just art for platforms, not for the games themselves.
Ah yeah you are right it is.
-
I'm not familiar with how that theme grabs/uses images. But if it is using exclusively theme images you could try dragging the image to the:
\\Launchbox\Themes\THEME_NAME\Images\Platforms\Fanart\
directory. THEME_NAME would be the unified theme's folder name (not sure what it is). -
Need to rebuild the Big Box image cache. Also need to make sure the image is named exactly the same as the game name in LaunchBox.

No they didn't @LaunchRoo.
If you notice in your second screen show your game is not associated to a Launchbox DB ID like mine is. I would guess you didn't pull metadata for your arcade platform and thus didn't link it to a DB ID. LaunchBox uses that information to fetch metadata, since it is missing the pull for rating data fails.
-
Can you verify two things @LaunchRoo ?
Is your arcade platform "Scrape As" value set to Arcade? (Tools > Manage Platforms > Arcade (Select it and then hit edit)
Is your game matched to something in the Games DB? (Go to game, right click, hit edit)

Just wanted to chime in and say that the new Default theme is downright beautiful (and underrated). With the proper fonts, color selection, spacing and background settings, you can get LaunchBox looking almost as sleek as the GOG Galaxy Launcher.
WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH...... ALMOST!!! >.<'

Why wouldn't you just run Big Box then?
-
Your stack trace doesn't have any LaunchBox calls. Typically I see this when a Windows Update hasn't been applied or the .NET framework installed is the wrong version or corrupted. I would make sure you don't have any pending Windows Update and rerun the .NET framework install.
-
Would depend what options you are picking. Currently downloading from LaunchBox Games DB is faster than EmuMovies and Wikipedia by quite a bit. Also depends if the game has already been matched to something in the GamesDB or not. If it hasn't it attempts to find it again, also games that aren't matched attempts to do different things with name matching on the other sources causing it to take longer.
Other things that can affect that speed is:
How many threads LaunchBox is allowed to used
How many other applications are running with LaunchBox is
How much disk write speed LaunchBox can utilize
Other applications using the disk i/o
Internet speeds/connectivity
Any real time firewall processes
Any real time compression on the folder
Server load at the time for the scrape serviceReally hard nail it down with nothing really specific to look into. Turning on logging would help gather more information about what may be going on.

2 and 4 are already in the product.
2. Tools > Manage Platforms > Add
4. Tools > Options > Legacy > General > Region Priorities -
You can still scrape just make sure Force Duplicate Games is checked.
