I know I can manually do it, just curious if you had plans to add the ability to download them directly from Launchbox. We do, actually, yes. That came up in the live stream yesterday. We can use that same new interface to provide options for various types of videos from various people and places. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 The videos are downloading from a completely separate server now, so in theory, they should be pretty lightning fast. Now that I see more of what's going on with the application downloads, I have some work to do to optimize those. However, let me know if anyone is seeing any download performance issues with the videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lulicious60 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Hey Jason, just wanna say I love bigbox and when I saw the recent demo video I updated to the beta version. Now my platform description text is much larger than what Im seeing in your video and others screenshots. Im using the criticalzone theme as well. Any idea why?

80sarcadeboy Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) I downloaded the beta about 8am in the UK (midnight your time?) and it came down in about 2 mins like it normally does. Glad you think you have identified the problem Jason. Edited November 18, 2016 by 80sarcadeboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Carr Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 Hi guys, as was clearly stated above, we are working on improving the download performance for the betas and the official app downloads. We're in the process of trying some things to improve the performance. Please bear with us in the mean time. Most people are still seeing quick downloads but we are aware that they are slow for some people. No need to argue back and forth about whether there's a problem, and also no need to be all up in arms about it; we are taking care of it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imdavid555 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Downloaded the latest beta and it took me about 1 minute. Definitely much faster then before for me. Edit: btw my location is New York 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imdavid555 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Have been messing around with the background music today and it is awesome! Not sure if anyone had this problem, but if you have any album covers or JPEGs within the Background music folder, BigBox will try playing it thinking it is a music file. But what pretty much happens is that it just shows the image on your screen forever until you either close BigBox or force it go to the next track. Was able to resolve this by just removing all album cover images. Thanks Jason! Edit: NVM still get it sometimes for whatever reason. Here is a screenshot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I can figure is it's some kind of odd bug with AutoHotkey on your machine. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful with that. For everyone who is experiencing performance issues in Big Box, try editing the image priorities options in LaunchBox under Tools > Options. Change the priorities to only have one selected item in the list (if possible) and make sure to uncheck anything that you aren't using. @cammelspit reported that it made a big difference for him; let me know if it makes any difference for anyone else. I haven't been able to replicate any performance improvements myself, but it's worth a shot. Is in a single program that does not work. Irocker. Jukebox another thing. I'm trying to add xppader to a platform but I have no way. LB only allows you to add application to each game. I need to launch xppader with a specific profile, in the emulator sega model 3. Can you add the option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LB only allows you to add application to each game. I need to launch xppader with a specific profile, in the emulator sega model 3. Can you add the option? Thats actually way easier if you use rocketlauncher and joy2key. You can make a profile directly from within rocketlauncher and have it be a game profile, then you select the game from whatever system you are in, and then whenever that game is launched it will start up that exact profile for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriven Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Like damageinc86 mentioned, joy2key does what you need. You can tell it to locate a specific file and launch a profile whenever that file is activated. For example,, you tell it to launch your SNES Control Profile whenever you open RetroArch or Higan. I use different RetroArch installs for each system (and sometimes for specific ROMs, if I have to) to get Joy2key to switch as needed. Then you just have joy2key launch when Windows starts up and never worry about manually adjusting the controls again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damageinc86 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Yes it does that on it's own, but if you use rocketlauncher to make the game specific profiles according to the database of the games in your rocketlauncher systems then it will launch game specific controls for you. This is especially great with MS-DOS since there are so many different keys used for those games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drtechnolust Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 The game wheel clear logo art disappears when scrolling through games at 100ms. It seems that there is a delay with the art refreshing in BigBox or sometimes the art does not show at all after holding down to scroll. As a suggestion to mute the wheel click if holding down the scroll for 3 seconds. Randomly when I launch BigBox directly I will hear the startup sound but the program does not open. The process "Bigbox.exe" is listed in the task manager as open.
