I like the new update. All feel really smooth. One question i have. Where can i get the background that ETA Prime use in the 8.3 update video on youtube. The one with the launchbox logo bottom right and the crumpled blue paper look.

I just tried top update but it failed and now my LB executable will not open. I can't repair via Control Panel so if I download it again could it override my files containing all my precious goodness accumulated over many months of setup?

EDIT: should I install it somewhere new and just replace the executable or reinstall over the already existing but broken install?

Maybe it's caching your images that's using so much CPU.

ahh, so it will probably come back down to earth once everything is cached. Thanks for the super fast reply!  I'll let it run for a bit later and see what happens

I'm still on version 7.14 and have been hesitant to update. One of the reasons is RetroAchievements and the star ratings. Can these be turned off in these later versions?

Also, has the issue with Additional Applications been corrected? It's where you have consolidated 2 or more ROMS and then change the default emulator for the main ROM but the others still use the old emulator.

If you don't set up Retroachievements in LB you don't even know they exist so its not something you have to shutoff you just don't bother to turn them on to begin with. Not sure on the star ratings as they are something I really pay no attention to but if they are there they aren't used in a way that is intrusive.
