dbinott Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I have about 2100 arcade games, 3 daphne games. When I start BigBox, it gets to the point of showing the systems, but then just freezes. There is no activity in the task manager for it either. no CPU, Disk etc. I moved away from RPi with RetroPie for this, so I am hoping I can get this to work for my bartop? My Specs CPU Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4300Y CPU @ 1.60GHz Base speed: 1.60 GHz Sockets: 1 Cores: 2 Logical processors: 4 Virtualization: Disabled Hyper-V support: Yes L1 cache: 128 KB L2 cache: 512 KB L3 cache: 3.0 MB Utilization 15% Speed 1.88 GHz Memory 8.0 GB DDR3 Speed: 1600 MHz Slots used: 2 of 2 Form factor: SODIMM Hardware reserved: 95.0 MB Available 4.4 GB Cached 3.6 GB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Do you have Nvida software installed recently people who had it installed were having issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmonkus Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Is there any chance you can add a graphics card to your system ? It doesn't need to be anything fancy at all, just a cheap low profile one with 1 gig of gddr5 vram on it, shouldn't cost more than 30-40$. It would help out quite a lot but in the meantime in BigBox try turning off all the transition effects and set your image quality to medium. There are some performance tips which may help you in this thread here if you haven't seen it already. You shouldn't be getting freezes though, @Jason Carr has been testing BigBox on a GPD Win which is pretty low end hardware and aiming to get it running well with certain settings.

dbinott Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 unfortunately no, it's a tablet. But I may be nixing that idea. Just had it laying around. Just don't want to spend hundreds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Ahh, gotcha. Well you can still try the settings I mention and some of the stuff in the performance thread, hopefully it helps you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 By chance did run a complete install of it on the tablet @dbinott? If you synced it via Dropbox or something instead it may just be missing some DirectX libraries or something. It's odd that it would be locking up immediately after starting up, though; I've actually never heard of that before. The next thing I would try after that is making sure your 100% up to date on Windows updates and that you have all the latest drivers (especially video).

dbinott Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 full install. everything is updated. I turned off unneeded services. Turned off MS virus scan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Then I'm baffled. I do have some more ideas, but they're admittedly all shots in the dark. Try uninstalling/reinstalling the latest version of the .NET Framework from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=56116 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbinott Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 i will try and get back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbinott Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 It won't let me reinstall and there is no option in the uninstall manager to remove it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Try using this then it repairs .netframework instead of reinstalling https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30135 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbinott Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 nothing worked. scrapped it and using an AMD A8 with mini itx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
