I found a bug that is driving me crazy. This BUG occurs only in Big Box and not the desktop Launchbox.
Basically the Bug comes out with Mendafen Saturn's CORE in retroarch. If I start a game from the desktop launchbox, it works perfectly, if I start the same game from the Big Box the Mednafen core starts to have problems and has impressive drops in framerates.
I also tried to eliminate the "LOADING PAGE" because I thought it could interfere with the loading of the core, unfortunately I don't get any improvement. I can't understand what breaks the mednafen saturn core from BigBox and not from desktop launchbox .
PC AMd Ryzen 3 , 8 gb Ram , SSD , Gpu AMD 560 4gb .

ok , i have feedback for you
With Windows by default we can use the physical POWER button to shutdown the system. If we use launchbox, and we touch the Windows shutdown key (physical key), all XML files in the "DATA" folder can become corrupted because they are not saved before the shutdown. In fact this did not happen in the past, I do not know what has changed with the latest version of Launchbox. So the shutdown of our bartop must necessarily take place from the SHUTDOWN function found in the BigBox menu, or, in the case in which we use Launchbox desktop, we must first close the application with the specific key and then turn off the PC.

Sorry for refreshing an old thread, but I came across this thread when looking for an answer for my problem with a gamepad in VICE core and I found a solution by accident so I decide to share it here. Maybe someone who went the same way would find it useful.
Commodore 64 uses second port for the first player, so you need to use the second gamepad or use the following setting to have it on first port:
Quick Menu > Options > Retro joy0 [ON]

Well it looks like they finally added the non fast core. For the longest time it was only the fast version of the emulator which used hacks to improve speed so the difference is one is fast with hacks while the other is slower but more accurate. Kind of like how there's different versions of the bsnes cores for speed and accuracy.
Thank you very much. So we can say that this is a core that uses accurate emulation even for PC Engine. I had not noticed that he had been released, he had escaped me

Mednafen : PceFast va Mednafen Pce in RA.
I can't find information on the differences between the two cores. Does anyone among you have information on this?

@dov_EL I did some additional testing over the weekend, and my initial thoughts that it was related to Retroarch's controller settings were wrong, as I couldn't replicate the issue without the keyboard being involved. But all LaunchBox should be doing is sending volume up and volume down keyboard presses, so I'm still lost here. What do the K and F9/F10 keys have to do with it?
F10 in retroarch SEND DIAGNOSTIC . Probably the system you used goes to touch a series of keys that goes into conflict with retroarch.
-
K is not the only key that creates conflicts, they also have F9 - F10 and other keys that I'm trying to understand.

Maybe I understood the problem. I could not visualize everything because I deactivated the "MENU WIDGET" function.
As soon as we try to increase or decrease the volume, the game pauses for the first time, then it works. The reararch PAUSE appears at the top right (last version) -

If I have described the problem incorrectly, can you help me with your English so that we can hear from developers?

Unfortunately not. It's a Retroarch glitch in that it doesn't obey the default settings.
we have some retroarch dev here? To whom can we report this problem which is very serious for those who use launchbox and retroarch in the bartop?
-
@Jason Carr this is retroarch default config setting.
Can it help you understand the cause of the problem?

That's because the issue has nothing to do with any keyboards or keys. It's a glitch with controller button combos in Retroarch.
however, now that I have based the whole emulation of my bartop with retroarch and launchbox, I can adjust the volume only from a keyboard and no longer in Big Box. For this I preferred the volume which can only be adjusted from bigBox and not from InGame
-
I understood, but the fact is that if I use a keyboard that also has the volume control of Windows. If I increase or decrease the keyboard volume while I'm in GAME, I have no slowdown. Thus, keyboard manufacturers will have low-level access other than the APIs they offer to developers. Unfortunately they can no longer access this information today.

It has everything to do with the controllers. We already figured this out and we know exactly what's going on. Retroarch is interpreting button combinations incorrectly. Again, it has nothing to do with the keyboard.

Yes, that's exactly what we use. We sound those volume down and volume up keys. That's what we've always done.
the STRONGNESS is that if the volume of Windows is adjusted through the keyboard, there is no slowing down in the retroarch. At this point I suspect that the keyboard drivers use APIs different from those that microsoft documents on the site.

Did you use the keyboard APIs in BigBox?

I'm pretty sure fixing it isn't even possible at this point. It was an issue with all previous releases, and as I've already stated, it's pretty clearly a bug in Retroarch. I don't think there's anything we can do to fix it.
But is it possible to ALSO have the volume as in previous versions of BigBox where it was not possible to select music in Game?
