  1. Hi.  I click Big box icon and logo appears at center of screen for ten minutes, then it loads.

    This started happening yesterday and I can't narrow down why.

    Things ive tried:

    *replace files in data folder with those in "backup folder" 

    *try my install on another PC via external HArd drive.  current Big box install loads fine on another PC

    *reinstall windows 10 from scratch. Didnt work, problem persist

    *install older launchbox version

    *install Launchbox from scratch and start new on different internal drive. Didnt work.

     

     

    Common denominator: This one PC in the whole house refuses to run launch Bigbox in timely manner. Always takes 5-10 minutes.

     

    anything else i can do to troubleshoot this issue? thanks

    Specs: i76850k processor, 3080 ti GPU, 64gb ram,  2tb ssd, etc

     

     

    Edit: fixed. My monitor's built in usb hub made apps on c drive open up slow amd freeze.

     

    Unplugged monitor's usb hub from pc and that fixed the issue

     

     

  2. Thats what I love about pc. You can use whatever software is needed to complete whatever task it is that you are trying to do. I use launchbox for console emulation and Gameex for MAME Emulation and awesome "attract mode".   And I launch both from KODI. all while using my xbox 1 controller. No keyboard and mouse needed

    This is baffling because BigBox uses the same settings, paths etc. to launch games that Launchbox uses. What you're describing should be impossible. If it launches in Launchbox, it should launch in Bigbox. The only thing I can even wildly guess at here (I don't use demul) but some emulators like PCSX2 have two windows going when emulating, one for the emulator, one for the game. Maybe the actual game window is getting hidden behind BigBox? 

    my thoughts exactly. Ill record a video later. Maybe i'm overlooking something

  4. Hi. Im using latest version of demul. Default launchbox settings.  Loads games fine in launchbox desktop app.   but in bigbox...the emulator pops up. but the game isnt loaded.

     

    Older version of demul works fine in both bigbox and desktop app. (however i cant use old version because it doesn't play nice with my ATI GPU)

    any way to fix? thanks

    EdITED:.  Added video link

     

     

  5. Ok so theres a new final burn alpha core that supports neo geo cd. 

    Within retroarch itself, running neo cd games work fine. However, I have to load the core...and within that core choose the neo cd option. then it works

     

    But launchbox does not allow me to do this. when I launch a neo cd games....it loads the neo cd core..and just show black screen. 

     

    in conclusion..these new retroarch updates/cores adds functionality to cores with sub-menus etc. and doesnt play nice with frontend launchers.  

     

    Just sharing my experience. hope theres a fix soon. thanks!

    I'll be improving the exporter in the future to better identify connected files, but that feature will probably never be perfect. If you're looking at bin/cue files though, they should be picked up properly, assuming the bin and the cue are named the same.

    Regardless, sorry you're disappointed in it.

    Im confident this app will get better with time. I use pc launchbox all the time and love it.    

     

    Is the theme support in the works for the android version?

    It was actually the latest Windows update that caused it, at least for me. Just add a exception for Launchbox to Riva Tuner and it will work fine. I have been using afterburner for years with no issues, (although others on the forums have had issues with it in the past), but after a Windows update a couple of weeks back it started causing issues. It wasnt a Launchbox update that caused it as i was still on the same version of Launchbox when i updated Windows and Launchbox stopped working

    How do I make exception for launchbox??  thanks!

    Hi,

    I've noticed today when trying to read a manual that was very tiny on the TV that the gamepad zoom in/out doesn't seem to work. Anyone else had this problem? I've got it assigned to the LB/RB, but tried other buttons as well...
    Zooming with the assigned keys on the keyboard still works though, so seems to only be the gamepad.
    Or am I missing something?

    Cheers guys :)

    hi. Im in the same boat as you. Using a 360 controller. Shoulder buttons dont work for zoom/in out for some reason.  instead i use r3/l3 and it works great!! try it

    You could probably use a resolution switching utility to change the resolution using the additional apps though that would be cumbersome if you have a lot of PS2 games. There may be an AHK script to do it but I am not familiar enough with AHK scripts to know if that is something in its capabilities.

    Just a side thought out of curiosity though, does PCSX2 run fine for you using a software renderer at native resolution ?

    Yes. Software render is fine when it comes to 2d games.  But 3d games is when I get frame drops. 

     

    I've found windows apps that does resolution switching. But idk how to get them working with launchbox..

  10. Thanks for the quick reply. 

    Both spectabis and pcsx2 don't have the specific setting I need.

     

    Which is to have full screen resolution of os temporarily changed to 1366x768 while pcsx2 is running.

     

    Currently...pcsx2 offers the option of setting internal res to native ps2. But when in full screen il...it's upscale to 1080p causing performance issue.  

     

    When I use a 720p window....performance is flawless. But I can't get same performance in full screen due to 1080p upscaling. 

     

  11. Hi all.

    My laptop runs pcsx2 best at 1366x768 resolution. I was wondering  if there is a Auto hotkey script that can be ran within launchboxx to force pcsx2 to run at 1366x768 and then switch back to 1080p native upon exit??

     

    Note: yes I'm aware I can run pcsx2 in windowed mode at 1366x768. But I want full screen. Thanks!

    it's not. no msi afterburner or diva is running at all. something simply changed in bigbox around controller automation. i never had the problem until recently

    Ok. And one more thing you can try. Use demul ver 0.7 sept 23 2015 edition. Maybe it will close fine with that version. 

     

    And also...out of curiosity....are u having issues closing down pcsx2 emulator??? That emulator used to cause me issues when closing as well.

    hey, it works!!! thanks a lot!!!

    Edit: spoke too soon. it worked once. then tried a few more times and it's still throwing back to desktop from BB with the bigbox process running and hidden. :(

     

    Checl to see if riva statistics is running in the backround. That app interferes also

    Mine works fine with Launchbox. The issue I'm having is with Bigbox. I'm running Windows 10.

    In any case, it sounds like things are working normally for @Sithel (maybe because it only affect Win 10?) and this has only started affecting some of us.

    attached is a screenshot of my settings.   And here is a video upload:

    Note: I was also having issues closing when i had the program "msi afterburner" running in the backround.  so check any backround processes you may have running.
