Dear all,
some of you might know me from the Hyperspin Forum (yeah that guy with always critics about Launchbox). Today I gave Launchbox another try. the whole day I was trying to import files and nothing else.
Maybe my PC is not fast enough, maybe my internet connection is bad but I cannot understand why this eye candy system has so bad performance. Sure, I will give some information about my pc at the moment:
Mainboard: MSI Z97 G45-Gaming
CPU: Intel i5 4660s @3,2ghz
GraKa: Zotac GeForce 970 4GB
Ram: 4x 4 GB
Festplatten:
Samsung Evo 850 500 GB SSD
Samsung 3 TB Green
Samsung 3 TB Red
Samsung 3 TB Red
Samsung 3 TB Red
Controller:
2x Wireless Xbox 360 Controller
2x Wireless Xbox One Controller
I have a 120mBit synchronized internet cable connection to the world wide web...
My Problems so far:
not every system could be imported into Launchbox at the moment. I import the whole folder and after the long long long process I look how many games are in LB and how many do I have in Rocketlauncher. For example Sony PSP: LB 498 and RL 972 OR Game Boy LB 837 and RL 857. Some Systems shows a failure while I tried to import them or only took 47 instead of over 800 GameCube Games.
Downloading Media Files mean nothing else will work or can be done within this system. Biggest Issue on that, importing media files took half of a century of time...why? why not multitasked those things. more than one file at once could be downloaded, more than one thing could be import into LB at the same time.
After downloading just a few artworks and videos I have no idea why I need so much of them. there is no preview for those files so I decided to download everything. But how can I delete not needed files within LB? please don't tell me that I can go into the explorer and delete it manually (workflow? comfort? easy to handle system?)
I tried the clean up artworks function, while I only had one system with artworks, and 12 systems in LB. nearly zero Artworks are in this system but for just the half of the progress bar LB already took more than 60 minutes so far.
I can understand that make that system efficient and faster in the background no one would care that because those things doesn't have any eye candy effects but that are things that are very helpful in the future AND for new users at all.
now we have the time to make LB big while HS is already a sleeping beauty or walking dead. I will not think about that moment HS will get that long time ago mentioned rumor about having a update or a real version 2.0.
usability is the key and not eye candy stuff... and for sure not that point to have a new real version every two weeks
best regards that critical hated
