  1. Thanks for the replies everyone. SentaiBrad, i am connected via ethernet with gigabit ports on both router and PCs, i get around 100mb transfer speeds. I messed around with the setup a bit more and as some have mentioned it appears to be related to the location of Media. I started a simple test trying out DOS76's setup... *I copied the Launchbox folder to my local PC and set the emulator and game folders to the NAS. At this point many NES images were already cached so launching games ended up working fine. *Next, I set just one Artwork folder (the one represented in Launchbox UI when navigating games) to point to the NAS and started having performance issues. I waited a little longer in case it needed to re-cache but it was still too problematic. The Launchbox Media folder would be a bit too large for my SSD once I'm fully setup. I'm hopeful at some point in the future Launchbox can be optimized for setups like mine. I'll see if there's a request for it in the 'Feature Requests' section. Since Hypserspin works great I'm optimistic that Launchbox can too :)
  2. I'm a Hyperspin user and have my complete setup on a QNAP NAS. Emulators, Hyperspin, RocketLauncher, Media, and Roms are all on the NAS. Two PCs are connected to this setup locally via gigabit ethernet, the NAS is a Network Mapped Drive and its location is allowed in my Anti-virus. Hyperspin launches in 5 seconds, UI responds to navigation right away, wheels move smoothly, videos appear within 1 second, and games launch right away: QNAP TS-251+ (NAS) PC #1 Alienware Alpha i3, SSD, 8gb ram (arcade cabinet) PC #2 Asus Maximus V i5 2500k, 16gb ram Launchbox issue I installed Launchbox-lite to my NAS in the same network mapped drive folder. Nintendo NES is setup along with artwork and videos. Both PCs can run launchbox but im getting severe performance issues. It takes at least 5 seconds to move to each game, loading artwork around 3 seconds each, and launching an NES rom at least 20 seconds. I gave it time to cache but still slow. If i copy Launchbox locally onto my PC it performs fine but this is definitely not what i want. Any ideas on what could be going wrong here? I have friends coming to town next week that want to create their own arcade setup like mine but hyperspin is too much of a chore. I want to show Launchbox instead but this is unusable for me. I would love to upgrade to Premium and use big box but i gotta get lite version to perform well on my NAS first. Thanks in advance!
