    Big Box Buggy after 6.7 update

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    Thanks again Jason! Tried the new beta last night and it didn't seem to make a difference when using VLC or WMP.

    Also copied over my Launchbox folder to my Surface Pro 4 and it made little difference. Was performing the same.

    Might start moving more images and videos to my fresh Launchbox install this week to see how it performs/makes a difference.

    Big Box Buggy after 6.7 update

    Had some spare time last night and decided to do a little troubleshooting. Created a new LaunchBox folder called "LaunchBoxTest". Did a fresh install of Launchbox there (latest stable release, no beta) and copied my XML, License, and Images+Videos for Virtual Boy. Had the images for Virtual Boy cached and it worked beautifully in CoverFlow.

    I went back to my regular setup and tried doing that on Virtual Boy there. Could not get the same results. Was just so very slow and video and images being very laggy. Then I went to Arcade (where I have over 4,000 games for this platform) and I held the "right" key on my keyboard. Performance was very choppy again here as well and then my computer Blue Screened.

    Definitely seems like a caching issue. Going to bring my Surface pro 4 from work today and test it out on there to see what happens (i7, 16GB ram, 256 SSD). Also may try transferring some more images and videos into my LaunchBoxTest folder to see what happens.

    CloverFlow Performance Issue

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    Have been so busy setuping up systems and not actually playing reminded about my Big Box issues using coverflow:

    I reported about it here. Pretty much scrolling through the coverflow view will cause massive lag. Have tried moving to an SSD but still saw the issues there as well. And when it happens BigBox will take a huge amount of space on my ram. I have seen it go past 5GB before (there are some pics in the thread).

     

    have only been using the text with details view where it is very stable there.

    Using Daemon Tools through Launchbox...

    Looks like it since no exact location is specified for SSF.exe. You should try it anyways see what happens. And you can name your batch file whatever you like. Probably something easily identifiable like SSF.bat

    Also just to chime in with Daemon Tools, yeah they have been changing the commands around with the later versions. No idea why.

    I guess I was the only one that grabbed these lol. I will upload them somewhere and place a link here soon for everyone. These 3D psp boxes from NMC are a mix of about 950 Japan, US, and Europe boxes. There are some stinkers and there are some really good ones! I definitely recommend grabbing these. I'll upload a sample of two poor ones and two good ones so that you can see what I mean. Auditorium-USA.pngBrooktown-High-USA.pngGradius-Collection-USA.pngGod-of-War-Chains-of-Olympus-USA.png

    section for RocketLauncher bezels?

    in Big Box Custom Themes

    Posted

    I would just create a thread in the Images and videos section of the forum and post your bezel there. Don't see a reason to create a bitBucket ticket for this. Also, Rocket Launcher has a forum too. It probably would be best to post your bezel there as well since Launch Box isn't the only front end supported and more ppl will get to see/use it.

    How hard would it be to create a view like this?

    The Cover Flow with Details view is very similar: Untitled.jpg I bet you can switch the location of the video and details around to get an even more similar look. Jason so far posted two tutorial videos about how to edit/create your own themes so you maybe to do this yourself : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYBvzuvtZ3k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iB3IbhGiHws BTW that pic you posted is the Aeon MQ6 theme for Hyperspin incase you didn't know. http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/topic/13804-aeon-mq6-unified-16x9-wip-branch-of-dark13s-aeon-nox-xiii-htpc-kodi-style/

    To install a theme, you have to place it in the themes folder of your Launchbox folder. Then within BigBox go to options and you change your theme somewhere there. Also this theme is outdated and will need a bit altering to work with current versions of BigBox. Please read the posts in this thread, especially Jason's on how to do this.

    Did some more playing around and discovered that my FPS is tanking (into the single digits) when I am in both Cover Flow views which is why some images are not appearing and videos running poorly when navigating. Works fine in the other views though. So I'm going to use Games text view for now. I am running Windows 10 Pro and here are my versions of .NET installedUntitled-6.png

    Zombeaver said That's definitely odd. I just tested both of the things you mention and I'm not experiencing them on mine. Are you running any AV software? Maybe try adding your Launchbox folder to its whitelist if so. You might also want to try turning down your RAM cache size in Tools -> Options -> System -> RAM Cache since it looks like BB is straining your system a bit.
    Thanks for the reply Zombeaver. I have only have Windows Defender running on my Windows 10 Pro computer. I added the entire Launchbox folder to the exclusions and nothing changed. Can still reproduce it. Have also tried: - Disabling RAM cache, Ram cache at 2GB, or Ram cache at 4GB - Change quality of cover flow images. Tested low, medium, and high.

    Glad to hear I am not the only one. Have noticed these issues last night as well Untitled-4.pngUntitled2-3.png I can reproduce this issue by navigating games in Coverflow view then pressing hot key to change view to Coverflow with details. Once I start navigating again BigBox performance just tanks. Video become choppy (both WMP and VLC) and navigating through the menus is extremely slow. Tested on SSD and experienced same issues.

    Simply austin just posted his launchbox with rocket launcher tutorial on YouTube. Haven't watched it yet since I'm at work but I'm sure it is top notch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1WbSAkPrjE
