DOS76 Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 Yeah they are so easy to change back and forth it shouldn't be an issue testing one out to see if you get better performance Quote

I have about 25 themes in my theme folder and just chop and change at will. Quote

I've never seen any themes' screenshots yet that compel me to want to try them. Plus, I know the default theme that comes with BB is least likely to BREAK. haha. Quote
SentaiBrad Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 Then at this point, barring a hardware upgrade, try some of the stuff in here: Quote

Of course, each to there own whatever you prefer will obviously be best for you. Oh and incase you hadn't noticed there are actually 2 default themes these days, CriticalZone is included by default as well now. Quote
ckp Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 A hardware upgrade seems silly from what I'm running just to run smooth BB wheel Anyway, I'm more interested in trying to see what kind of settings, if any, will help improve my current BB theme with scrolling. I haven't messed with any yet. Any suggestions? I don't need any general system performance tips. Quote
neil9000 Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 You could try turning off scrolling game notes, its been a issue with performance in the past although I do believe Jason fixed that at some point. Wouldn't hurt to try though its a simple checkbox in the game details options. Quote
ckp Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 So, looking at settings in BB to try to see if anything will help in my default theme with stuttering platform scrolling. Would either of these have any affect: Transitions: Platforms Video Transition: Rotate Horizontal Triangle Platform Details Transition: Slide Vertical Those are the current settings and I have no idea what they mean or what the other options mean. Any other ideas on setting to speed platform scrolling? Quote
ckp Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 ok, so i had Win Media Player set in BB for videos, probably because LB crashes with some games if I use VLC. But BB doesn't crash with VLC, so I changed to VLC. It seems way better now. It still has a stutter if I hesitate just the right amount before moving to the next platform, but it's not bad at all.

ckp Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 While I was at it I thought I would try setting VLC in regular LB now on 7.8. LB still crashes when I launch Dolphin and Dreamcast games that have zipped game images. So had to switch back to Win Media Player in regular LB. I don't think I'll ever be able to use VLC in regular LB Quote
