startup and shutdown is now much faster in both LB and BB. Man what a change.

LB is saving the last selected platform on my side. I've also confirmed beta 1 saves the last platform and game fine so I would have to guess that beta 2's super fast saving upon exit isnt quite saving everything.

Hey guys I found another bug in Beta 2. It looks lik BB doesnt save/remember the last game and last platform because every time i exit BB and relaunch it, it starts on 3DO (The 1st platform) instead of the last platform i used. I've tried disabling and reenabling the options but no change.

I can confirm with the latest beta that the retroachievements window in BB doesnt crash BB anymore and the double control bug is fixed too. Awesome job.

So when the double control is in effect, when i press up or down in the game for example, i can also hear BB navigation sounds for up and down. If I press A in the game, the game registers the A button being pressed but so does BB so BB launches the selected game again so i end up with 2 games running at the same time. No the correct behavior is for BB to not work when a game is running or other window/screen is the active window/screen. The other window(s) can be literally anything or even just the desktop on another screen. So with retroarch, it doesnt pause controls when its not the active window so I can play a game on 1 screen while browsing the net on another screen which is correct for my needs.

I figured out how to replicate the issue. So if im running any emulator from bb and any of the other 2 screens are the active windows instead of the emulator and I close/shut down the emulator, the double control thing happens. In order to stop it, I have to click on bb so it becomes the active window and then that fixes it temporarily. Which means I must try to remember not to have any other window active when i close the emulator. Kinda defeats the whole purpose of multiple monitors though.

Ok looks like disabling that option didnt fix the problem as the problem came back. I'm trying to figure out how to control bb without it being the active window because it almost seems to do it kind of randomly.

I found a bug in the latest beta. BB crashes when I try to open the achievement list for any game.

Hey guys. Thanks for new update. I think I figured out what was causing the issue with multiple monitors that I was having in the previous version. It was the *Use controller in Launchbox* feature where even though bigbox wasnt the main focus window, the LB controller part was still in control. After disabling "Use controller in Launchbox" options and clearing the controls, the problem looks to be fixed now..

Hey guys. Found a bug which affects multi-monitors. So i noticed a lot of the time if BB isnt the active window when i launch a game, i can hear BB navigation sounds at the same time so my controller is basically controlling BB and the emulator/game at the same time even though the emulator is on top of BB. If I click on BB 1st to make it the active window and then launch the game/emulator, my controller will work on the emulator/game only (normal behavior).

What theme is this?

Hi guys. I tested the beta and can confirm the dinput bug is fixed. thanks.

Hey guys. The controller bug in BB from the betas is still in 14.0. I noticed this bug affects ps4 and ps5 controllers with the "Wireless Controller" profile in bigbox where navigation works but every 4-5 seconds, the controller/navigation stops working for about 1 second and then works again and then rinses and repeats the same problem in a loop. When i plug in my xbox series x controller, everything works fine, when I revert to 13.27, the ps4 and ps5 controllers work perfectly fine and when i selext xbox emulation on DSX so my DS5 controller acts as an xbox controller and i select xbox controller in BB, the bug stops so its definitely the dinput/wireless controller profile in 14.0 that's got a bug.

Hey guys. I'm also having a controller issue in beta 2 in bb where i have to press the direction buttons multiple times to navigate in that direction once. I reverted back to beta 1 and the issue is gone but if i revert back to previous versions, i have to delete the plugins folder because I get error messages regarding the new adobe reader plugin and LB and BB dont launch.
