No problem, glad you got it working.

Did you select the correct core in the Associated Platforms ? And your platform name matches up with the platform you imported your games to ? This video is a little older but it still applies. Instead of typing in the core name you now just select it from the drop down menu.

Yup, there's your mistake, you are pointing the core dll file instead of the Retroarch.exe.

Do you have LB pointed to the Retroarch executable ? The error you are showing is pretty clear in what it is saying. The application you are pointing at is not a valid app for your OS, which means it is either not the correct version ie: 64 bit version on a 32 bit OS or you are pointing at an installer exe or some other file entirely.

Looks like you have the wrong version of Retroarch for your PC. Do games load through Retroarch on its own outside on Launchbox ?

Fair enough, though I am really hoping for a user toggle-able option for the dynamic box scaling from Jason. I personally find the "jitter" of it annoying. I was hoping for a way to disable it in the theme code but Jason told me there wasn't and he would have to implement it in the code himself.

Yes, like I said, it's a side effect of the dynamic box art scaling and until Jason implements a toggle (which I have requested) for it it's going to be there unless you go back to an older theme.

Of course its not legit.

Cranky Ape View File This theme is a modified version of Jasons New Default No Shadows or Blurred Backgrounds theme. The changes were made to function best on a 27" 2560 x 1440 display so your results may vary based on your display size and resolution. I will no longer be updating this theme, I have no desire to try and keep up with changes Jason makes or new features added. So if anyone wishes to take this theme and release they are free to do so. *Requires Launchbox 10.9 or newer Things I changed: Reduced vertical space between platform names. Increased the vertical scroll bar width in the Box Images View. Increased the vertical scroll bar width in the List View. Increased the vertical scroll var width in the Details panel. Shifted the vertical scroll bar of Box and List view over to line up with the Details panel. Adjusted the "Platforms" panel dropdown menu so that it shows all entries without having to scroll (unless you have an obscene amount). Extract and copy the Cranky Ape folder into your \LaunchBox\LBThemes folder. In Launchbox Options > Visuals choose the Cranky Ape theme from the dropdown menu and restart Launchbox.

Yeah I don't have a solution for you, if the game worked before and you didn't change emulator or rom then it should work now.

There was an update to address a performance issue with 10.8.

It's a side effect of the dynamic sizing, like I said, I have spoken to Jason about it and it's not something I like either. You can try and download the newly released 10.9 version of LB and see if it still happens for you.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that.

It's the new dynamic box sizing of the new theme. If you have a premium license install or use one of the older themes. This is something I have spoken to @Jason Carr about, I would like to see a toggle for the dynamic sizing but Jason has said this will take some time.

There's a check box at the bottom of the LB window to enable it.

Could you put a toggle on the bottom bar for the blur and shadows like how there is a toggle there for game name text ? Let people decide quickly and easily which they want.

I'm sorry Jason but this is the wrong way to go about fixing this issue. I know that the free version has limitations but hurting the performance of free users is bad and at the same time to rub salt in the wound the "fix" is to pay for the premium license to change themes is just not right.

But will this require a premium license to use this theme ?

No, the theme will have to be updated to show the new features.

Nope, not caching, the scrolling just feels way more sluggish and stuttery. The populating speed is fine on my system.

I run a Ryzen 2700X with a 1080Ti and the performance hit is quite noticeable.

Thanks for the reminder of this. I have now edited that guide to indicate that the RAM Cache is no longer an option.

No they aren't. Shaders are enabled in the mame.ini file. I have written guides on how to enable them and even uploaded my own HLSL settings here on the forums.
