    MAME - starting getting audio lag on all games

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    I've been running the same MAME (0.220) since it came out and now for some reason I am getting audio lag in all games. It's like the audio stalls/stutters/repeats for a second or so as the game as played. I'm certain it's not a CPU issue as I have a 5600G and this is happening on nothing games like pacman, digdug, etc.

    Any ideas/suggestions are welcome.

    Thx...Piper

    VPX: DMD not showing if table launched via LB/BB

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    Looking for any clues on how to fix this. So I have VPX setup as an emulator and all tables are launching fine, fullscreen, working and exit button works. The issue I'm having is that if I launch any table via LB/BB, the playfield is over the DMD (I'm running all on 1 screen). I can Alt+Tab and get to the DMD but ofc I want to have the DMD show on top automagically. If I launch any table directly via VP, the DMD is on top like it is supposed to be so I'm thinking it's just a LB/BB timing thing. I feel like I had this solved when I first added VPX as an emulator but it has re-reared it's ugly head. Any assistance is appreciated.

    Update: Ok, so it appears to be sporadic. Sometimes the DMD will show in front, sometimes it won't when launched via LB/BB.

    Multiple probs since 12.3 - wheel image super-sized & launching to all games

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    So 2 issues are wrecking my LB/BB install right now. I started noticing both around 12.3 but honestly it could have been earlier, I hadn't updated in a while. Both issues persist and have gotten worse now into 12.5.

    1. The clearlogo/wheel images are fubar/super-sized. I noticed it first in the theme I was using (RetroFresh) and only with horizontal wheel views. Now, as of 12.5 it is happening in all themes I've tried (except Default) and in both horizontal wheel & vertical wheel views. I've tried refreshing the image cache, force loading the cache & rebooting but the issue persists. It's like BB isn't adhering to the space allotted to it for the wheel image or something like that. I've tried numerous themes and it is happening in all of them that I've tried except Default.

    2. Setting BB to launch directly into All Games is completely hosed. BB launches to a blank wheel that only shows 1 (the very last) wheel image (but it has the wrong metadata for the wheel image). Moving left or right makes the move sound but nothing changes. I actually submitted this one on bitbucket a little while back but it persists.

    Also, both issues are happening on both my arcade cab & my gaming PC. One is AMD (CPU) + Nvidia (GPU) and the other is AMD CPU/GPU. Both are running Windows 10, one is home the other is pro. Same issues on both systems, both are updated to 12.5.

    LB 12.1 Crashing at launch during at "initializing"

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    Well I got it working so I'll document here for anyone that runs across the same issue. From the Event Viewer log it seemed that something was wrong with my VC stuff so I used add/remove programs to remove all the VC entries, rebooted and reinstalled LB 12.1 over the top. LB re-installed all the VC stuff needed and everything is working great. All my work was preserved as well.

    LB 12.1 Crashing at launch during at "initializing"

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    Hi, I reached out on discord but was directed to the forums.

    I have a new PC, installed LB 12.1 (premium). It ran fine for a few days but now when I try to launch it just quits at the "initializing" stage. It's been running fine for a few days since I installed but this just started happening. I really haven't done anything out of the ordinary since installing just added a few emus, games, etc.

    I went into my startup.xml and turned debug log on and try to launch. Everything looks fine in the log until this point...

       at System.Reflection.Assembly.LoadFile(String path)
       at Unbroken.LaunchBox.Windows.Desktop.Program.<>c.ComputeStatementBridge(Object sender, ResolveEventArgs e)

    I removed all my xml's from the Data folder but same behavior. I tried to launch BB and it does nothing. I also tried to launch LB & BB in the Core folder and get the same results. I've tried to re-install 12.1 over the top of my install and get the same behavior. I also installed LB 12.1 fresh to a different location and same behavior.

    So i'm really stuck at this point. What should I do?

    Thanks...Piper

    Sorry for the late response.

    1. Can you share a screenshot of what you're seeing?

    2. CriticalZone doesn't come with any videos besides the background video. So the boot logos you are seeing must be something you've added to your LaunchBox setup yourself. Check the videos folder in your LaunchBox folder if there's anything that's causing that.

    Ok, found it...it actually wasn't the theme doing it,  it was the startup theme (Big Fade). Thanks for responding.

    Hi, using this theme V2-Default. Couple questions...

    1. On the "main" screen it seems the platform/playlist descriptions hang off the side of the screen/text box. I have windows (10) and 100% dpi. I am on a 4k monitor, don't know if that might cause it. I can grab a screenshot if needed.

    2. On the game launch screen there is a video box that shows a boot vid for whatever platform the game is in. Is that "baked" into the theme or is there a way to override that? I don't care for it bc the boot vid is coming next as the emu boots anyway. I see that there is a video/platforms folder in the theme folder but that doesn't seem to override this.

    Thx...Piper
