When you run across this scenario you can always right click the game and change the version to the one that you prefer I know it sucks because you have to do it manually but it can be done.
What we start off emulating may not always be what you end up emulating as you get further into the hobby you want to add more systems than you sometimes even know existed so buying a slightly better CPU is setting you up for when you get to that point (if you do)
what I'm confused by is you calling the chip Apollo Lake which is actually an architecture and has 5 different chips under it ranging from a 1.6ghz atom to a 2.5 ghz Pentium without really specifying which one you actually have. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/embedded/products/apollo-lake/overview.html
can you post a screen shot of your associated tab and a view of your sidebar (list of platforms on the left side of LB) Your platform and the name in associated platform and your actual systems has to match exactly.
If you have a file in the root of your MAME folder named mame.ini make a copy of this file and name it Vertical.ini then look for the line in the file that says OSD PER-WINDOW VIDEO OPTIONS>screen and set its value to \\.\DISPLAY2 (It could be 1 instead of 2 depending on which screen is which on your setup).
yeah my issue with CDisplayEX is it doesn't support controllers I requested it on their forum over a year ago but its pretty much a graveyard over there
I haven't seen anyone really say agree with Jason or leave here my main point is that complaining about an getting an email whether you agree with its content or not is kind of petty and that is my opinion maybe not every one agrees which I really don't care about anyway.
LB is more than a product to some and Jason isn't sure of who that is so he sent the email to all of his users and if you don't care that is fine but if you do then you can try to help out that is all.
"Though, I do totally agree that I don't appreciate the email. I mean, when I bought LB/BB I didn't think I was becoming a citizen to be called to arms when some rando threatens you"
and that is fine no one has issues with that
