OK, nevermind...a simple refresh all images fixed it...gotta not panic lol

I'm on 12.6 and all of a sudden I have 2 platforms that are borked up in BB. It's my PS2 and TP platforms that only show 1 game now, won't scroll, launch, etc. All other platforms are OK. everything including these 2 platforms launch games fine from LB. what should I be looking for to fix?

I'll chk it out thx

ahh ok, that's a good little trick to know. i'm curious though I thought the dmddevice.ini was just for separate backglass, not for dmd over the top on a single screen like i'm doing...but maybe i was mistaken about that.

Hi, yes it's a 220 set. it's just a few hundred games hand picked so i've just stayed with that. i did for shits & giggles grab the latest 238 mame and tried and still had audio stutter. ive tried d3d, opengl & auto on vid backend and all stutter. it's not terrible but def noticeable. it's just that it's on these little nothing games that it's doing it. typically audio stutter can mean the cpu is struggling but we're talking pacman and digdug lol. i run them via lb/bb, just launching direct from mame to work this kink out.

installed latest nvidia drivers & did all windows updates...issue persists. nothing other than ledblinky, bluetooth and nvidia running in task bar. checked task manager, don't see anything out of the ordinary but there's a lot of stuff so dunno..

nahimic is no where on my system, even did a registry search. so I downloaded a fresh copy of my same mame (220) and made no changes other than setting a rom directory...sound stuttering is still there....now i'm baffled.

Wondering if there was any idea on the setting BB to launch to All Games issue? It wouldn't be an issue but for my racing rig. To recap, I get a fubar wheel with only 1 game on it and the meta doesn't match the game. I can't scroll. Thx

Hmm yea I'm aware of that issue. I have them off. The weird thing is the same table will sometimes have the dmd on top & sometimes not. Makes me thing it's a timing issue...

Ok thanks. I've heard of the nahamic issue. My radeon sw did update recently. I'll chk that out. Thx

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

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. Piper

Hi, I checked with 4 dift themes/dift views and it seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks! Piper

awesome thx. just wanted to let you know i got it on 2 dift systems now. thought it was just my system at first.

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. Piper

Oh man those are awesome. Thx so much! Piper

I have no talent at it so requesting 3D Boxes for the following PC/Windows/Steam/XBGP games... Dirt 5 Forza Horizon 5 F1 2019 Also there is one in the dB for Wreckfest but it's weird looking so this one too. Thanks in advance. Piper

Anybody seen/done the 3D box for FH5? PC or Steam version preferred. Thx...Piper

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. Piper

Just FYI, I looked in the Even Viewer and found this. It's greek to me but sounds like the issue...

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... 2021-10-19 05:13:45 PM FIRST CHANCE EXCEPTION: An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.

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 System Specs: Win10 Pro/64, AMD 5600G CPU/GPU, LB 12.1 (premium with license key in folder)

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

hmm ok, guess i just never ran into with other themes. ok well thanks.
