liamb2001 Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 ive actually followed the performance thread guide to get it running smoother in the first place. TBH it was really smooth when i had 7 or 8 thousand games on it - something has clearly triggered something off in it where abouts are the logs located on launchbox do you know ?

Lordmonkus Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 You may have just hit that number of number of games to tip its performance over the edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, i am trying to be very careful with my language, so apologies. You did however say that it "did" work at a point for you, and now does not. The program itself has not really changed in weeks, so i can only assume that something has got corrupted somewhere along the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rincewind Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 What I do on my cabinet and I know this isn't going to be a fix but if I were you I would install a second instance on the same pc and start with one system just to make sure it's running ok... If not then it could be that Windows has updated something or another program has updated and is interfering with LaunchBox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now i am not saying that it is not a Launchbox issue at all. I am just saying that this is the first time i have ever seen this specific problem, and it's a problem that did at one time work on your system perfectly fine. So i would lean towards a issue your end. You will of course expect me to say that right? I'm sorry i just don't have anything else at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liamb2001 Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 its ok mate i really apppreciate all the suggestions. im just gonna try a fresh version and be systematic while scraping any content i have from the original install Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 You won't need to scrape the images and such, you already have that stuff. Just uncheck all the image downloads when you re-import. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liamb2001 Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 right ok so thats interesting. Ive actually just backed up all folders from launchbox original, uninstalled it completley installed a fresh launchbox and without importing any info at all have setup a sole emulator Demul with the 50 games. I set it up, downloaded all meta and images etc booted into Big box and guess what ??? Same issue. Looks like its highly likley to be something external to launchbox thats caused it !!

liamb2001 Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 its windows 7 and have to admit it it has been doing a lot of updates latley, cannot imagine whats causing it but tempted to try rolling it back - failing that reinstalling windows Can i ask, will my launchbox run from a secondary drive after a format as in does launchbox require registry connnection or does it leave any essential files in the root drive etc or will it run independalty and completley on another drive ?
