Yeah a 1060 should support it.

No idea, if you enabled it in the ini file it should work, unless for some weird reason your video card doesn't support it.

No problem.

Did you set the controller exit combo in BigBox as well ? It has to be set in Launchbox and BigBox.

You have to set it in BigBox as well.

I suppose you could layer SweetFX / ReShade over top if you wanted to but that is unnecessary if using HLSL (which is what I use) because you can tweak HLSL a whole lot more than the BGFX shaders.

For strict emulation I would go with the Intel personally, it will serve you much better for Cemu. For PS3 emulation that question becomes a bit more trickier to answer, it's one of the few emulators that really takes advantage of more than 2 cores but it's also an emulator that is still in such an early stage of development we don't know what the future progression of it holds. Yeah it emulates a few games extremely well but it has such a long ways to go before it becomes a proper daily use emulator. My personal view on it right now is to use an Intel if you want the best CPU for all around emulation and only if you are buying right now and money is not really a concern. Having said that I currently use an older (by todays standards) AMD 8350 @ 4Ghz and it handles PS2, Dolphin, Saturn and Dreamcast without issues. It can handle some of the games in Cemu fine but Zelda BotW not so much. An Intel CPU though would probably handle some of the tougher PS2 and Dreamcast games a bit better but for the most part I am fine. Dolphin and Saturn are perfectly fine on my system though. My final thought on the matter is this though and I have said this to people in the past, more CPU power does not go to waste in emulation. Even though a lower end CPU can "run" emulators and games just fine the better emulators out there will allow you to tweak the emulator for a better experience with lower input latency. Retroarch has a setting in it called Frame Delay and the higher you can push that number the lower your input latency will be but the higher you push that number the more CPU power is required.

Unfortunately I don't have anything to suggest to solve your issues but I would suggest changing your forum name to not be your email address, unless you like getting spam from email address scrapers.

It's using an outdated license that has since been blacklisted and will no longer update.

I have no experience with the PC88 and 98 at all so I have nothing that can help you out for that. For the X68000 though I have a guide here on the forums that will get you started using MESS and mounting double disk image games but on page 4 of that thread there is more information on creating .cmd files for use with the Retroarch X68k core. The whole thread is worth checking out.

What about the other 9 years ?

It can but it is an older CPU now but again like I said the one in my HTPC is no power house at all, it's an old AMD running at 2.4 Ghz which is nothing special at all. An integrated graphics card does not help your system out at all so a proper GPU will help it out a lot.

Try switching to the default theme, the i5 2500k is an older CPU (so is the one in my HTPC) and you didn't say what sort of GPU you currently have in your system.

Another thing that can impact performance is the theme and view being used, the default theme is obviously the baseline but the theme "Fundamental" is also very light. The "coverflow" view will impact performance when you have all the different box arts being shown, that view is very slow on my old HTPC so that's something to keep in mind.

I don't think it matters the GPU type. You will see over in that thread I run 2 systems with BigBox, one fairly high end gaming PC and another slower, older PC used as an HTPC with an older Radeon 7800 series graphics card but BigBox tweaked and it runs perfectly fine.

BigBox does make use of a GPU. You can get some tips of boosting the performance if you check this thread here. Since that thread was started @Jason Carr has done a lot to improve the performance of BigBox on lower end hardware but much of the same advice in that thread still holds true. Set your image quality it medium, turn off transition effects, make sure your drivers are up to date and your system is running lean.

Great work you and @Zombeaver did on this latest version.

Well I am just a unpaid volunteer here on the forums and discord and even though @Jason Carr does on occasion listen to my input I really have no say over what he does and doesn't do with how he runs Launchbox / Musicbox as a business. The debate and discussion over Musicbox has been done to death and is no longer something to be discussesed, Jason is doing it and it's his decision.

You can send a message to support here https://forums.launchbox-app.com/contact/ and ask. But my biased advice would be to upgrade to the lifetime, it would only be 30$ instead of the 20$ for 1 year.

Looks good.

I think they look fine but if you can come up with something better go right ahead

Fair enough
