I had the same issue when downloading bezels for Nintendo DS. I was able to use task manager to “end program” LaunchBox. Once I restarted LaunchBox the bezels downloaded and completed this stopping the endless loop.

Power settings are set to maximum performance sleep never. As soon as I launch BigBox about 10 seconds after booting in the screen goes black and my computer power button blinks yellow indicating sleep mode. I move my mouse and the computer wakes up still in BigBox and then I see the Windows shutdown screen come on then the computer fully shuts down. I completely created a fresh install of Launchbox / BigBox last night… imported Steam and Mame games .244. Launchbox was working fine but when I started BigBox the shutdown happened again. The computer does not go to sleep/shutdown like this any other time. Like I previously mentioned I can play Steam games and outside emulation without issue. It’s almost as if when I launch BigBox it’s triggering my computer to shutdown. That is why I wanted to try a fresh install as I am thinking there is a bug with the latest update 12.14. This began after that. I completely reset Windows the option that removes everything and reinstalled Windows 11. I complete created a new install of f Launchbox / BigBox brand new folder clean build and the issue remains. I can share a video if that helps…

I will try a fresh install next. And it is a normal Windows shutdown. Actually my PC goes to sleep after starting Launchbox or BigBox then as soon as I wake it back up Windows shutdown initiates.

I have an Alienware Aurora R8 running Windows 11 with the following specs: Processor: i9 9900K RAM: 32GB DDR4 2666Mhz GPU: Nvidia RTX 2080Ti w/VRam - 11Gbs DDR5 *Ever since the latest update of Launchbox/Bigbox v.12.14 my computer will automatically shutdown shortly after launching Launchbox / Bigbox... I have completely reset and restored Windows. All updates are good. GPU is updated. I don't have any issues running games in STEAM or even CoinOps. I am not sure what is causing this issue. I have never had this problem before. I have uninstalled Launchbox/Bigbox but the issue remains. The next step would be for me to try a brand new build of Launchbox / Bigbox but I was hoping I wouldn't have to lose my previous build. Nehemic services are disabled. I have been running this build for several months and didn't have any issues until the latest update 12.14. I am running this build on an external SSD. Other games which are installed on this particular SSD run fine outside of Launchbox/Bigbox. I am curious to know if anyone else has encountered this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@Vlansix Just use this AHK script in the "running AHK script section" tab under your emulator options in LaunchBox. ; This section closes Demul when pressing Escape MButton:: { Send !{F4} } Take note that I use the MButton to close out of the emulator because I have an X-Arcade Tankstick. If you want to use the escape button then just replace MButton with $Esc. ; This section closes Demul when pressing Escape $Esc:: { Send !{F4} } Hope this helps!

Yeah that’s a bios file... according to the video that is to be unzipped. Either way thank you for your help, I just got it working! I went back to my original Mame 2019 emulator and created a folder consoles in my roms folder. I placed the CDI CHD files in their own cdi folder and left the bios in the roms folder. Now it all works great!

On the console Philips CD-i, I thought people either have .bin and .cue files or CHD's. I have CHD's. They were never zipped. I have tried to run them both in Mame and Mame64UI and can't seem to get them to run.

I am still struggling to get CD-i to run. I just tried MAMEUI64, put the CHD files and the mono1.zip (extracted cdi200.rom, cdi220b.rom) all into the roms folder included in MAMEUI64. No boxes checked in emulator settings for quotations or anything. Also I have the command line parameter cdimono1 -cdrm. I am getting an error stating required files missing to run? Am I missing more bios files? I noticed in the outdated video there was also a cdi220.rom. When I unzip my mono1.zip all I get is cdi200.rom and cdi220b.rom. Or do I need empty zip files for the games and should I place the CHD's in their own folders kind of like arcade games in MAME? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Anybody have any luck getting Philips CD-i to run in MAME? I watched the Launchbox tutorial with MESS. I use MAME and I have the cmd line parameters set and bios in place. Although I only have the 200 and 220b.rom bios. Not sure about the 220.rom which was mentioned in the video. I am also using a newer version of RetroArch which does not have the mame core any longer... The oldest is 2003...

Thank you guys for this! I finally got Bally Astrocade working now thanks to this forum!

Also I just updated to 11.6 and everything is still working great!
