Jason Carr Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 7 hours ago, Magical Kingdom said: Thanks for all of your hard work, Jason. Keep it up! Sorry to go a little off topic but I was curious if there are any plans to implement a random game selector into Big Box in the future? If this is something that comes up a lot, I apologize. I just haven't been able to find too many mentions of it within the forums and the ticket doesn't seem to have much action on it on BitBucket. I only ask because I find myself using Big Box almost exclusively and I love it quite a bit. Unfortunately this feature only seems to be present in launchbox, not in bigbox and I'd just like to be able to jump around to random games haha. Thanks for your time, you're creating a wonderful application. Take care! Yup, definitely planned, just hasn't made it in quite yet. I agree that we should do it soon though.

We're now just using the AutoHotkey.exe file, which is not against the terms of the GPL. A new folder called AutoHotkey will show up in the LaunchBox folder with the EXE and license inside of it. Thanks for the quick fix, AHK is working like a charm again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Carr Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 Alright guys, beta 27 is out. I'm calling this one the release candidate. As long as no major bugs are found, we'll go ahead and release 7.0 tomorrow. Any testing you guys can do would be appreciated. @andyco47 Sure, it's on the list; hopefully we can get to it soon enough. @Rod Thanks for the good news on AHK. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Carr Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 I will be taking some time off, but still planning on working next week for the most part. Live streams should be on. I may take some time off the week after Christmas though. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe anything changed recently that should affect Rocket Launcher or focusing the window. I could be wrong, of course, but maybe it's something with the Rocket Launcher configuration?

Pacman56 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 (edited) I just installed and tested the official release of LaunchBox / BigBox 7.0 and noticed delays when scrolling through games in BigBox which didn't exist in 6.10. When moving from game to game using the arrow keys, a delay of 1-2 second frequently takes place which ruins the experience. This problem is quite noticeable when choosing a platform that contains a large amount of metadata such as my Arcade.xml which consist of 6199 games but is of a considerable size: 28.1MB. My problem was reproduced on a clean instance of LB/BB which did not contain images, music, videos, etc. which rules that out. After doing more testing, I found that doing a bulk edit of the Notes field using LB and clearing the value solved the problem. The delay has completely disappeared. However, clearing the notes field is not a solution. Arcade.7z Edited December 17, 2016 by Pacman56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpetty Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 After upgrading to the official release from 7.0 beta 27 (or 28?), I'm having big issues. I was having no issues before this release. I can play several games on several systems, but, after a while, everything just seems to stop. I try to run a game, the "Game Loading" screen appears, nothing happens, the "Game Loading" screen disappears after 10 or so seconds, and I'm back to the selection screen. This has happened with multiple systems on RetroArch as well as Demul, MAME, and Daphne. Eventually, the platform videos won't display and LaunchBox freezes. I can't escape it with CTRL-ALT-DELETE and have to manually reboot. Usually, after a reboot, all is well again. But just now, after a reboot, BigBox froze immediately at my Arcade platform screen - no platform video and no response. All of this is running BigBox on a dedicated Windows 10 64-bit installation that has been rock solid with LauncBox on all of the v7 betas. I did earlier today add the Mayflash USB bar and setup Dolphin to use Real WiiMotes. That's the only change other than the LaunchBox version updates over the last 48 hours. Any ideas? Also a BIG kudos to the LB team. I love this FE. Was a longtime GameEX --> HyperSpin/Retroarch user and love the simplicity, elegance, and stability of LaunchBox. I also appreciate the friendly and helpful atmosphere on the forums and the amazing responsiveness and work ethic of the team members. I'll be buying a lifetime license when my annual license expires. Scott 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadekitten Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 (edited) can't upgrade to 7.0 from 7.0 beta 24, running as admin, screenshot according to process explorer nothing is currently using Unbroken.LaunchBox.dll so it shouldn't be locked afaik. note that i was able to overcome this by deleting Unbroken.LaunchBox.dll with a 3rd party app and pressing retry, but i don't think it was supposed to happen t Edited December 16, 2016 by jadekitten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is still locked. reboot then try again. I would probably try to move the entire Metadata folder out of your lbox57 folder then download 7.0 from the LaunchBox site, then install on top of your lbox57 folder. Hope that helps. Let me know what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
