DarkRiverCoke Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) Hey guys and girls, i'm a big fan of your Project but im getting big problems with the Loading Times of Launchbox Big Box. I think that i dont have the best conditions for my setup, but the loading times are up to 20 - 30 Minutes. I have a high-end gaming PC and a set-up of just over 20,000 games by Colpipes. However, I have the whole thing not internally but on an external Nas hard drive. Is this maybe the Problem? Using a WD My Cloud. Unfortunately, due to the huge amount, the games are no longer running smoothly. Do I have to upgrade to an internal hard drive or are this just too many games for Launchbox?

fromlostdays Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I can't speak to the loading times on NAS, but I've heard other users say they use it with no problems. I have a launchbox setup with 60k games on an internal sata and it takes about 5 seconds to load. You should never download anyone else's builds. It makes is impossible to troubleshoot.

DarkRiverCoke Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 Do you think it would be better, to start a new Setup and just use the Games from Colpipes? Launchbox is easy to setup, but I thought such a finished build would save work. Just be afraid that it is actually because the files are on the NAS Drive.

The actual roms on a NAS should be fine,lots of people do that. As for the actual program being on the NAS as well i cant speak to that but i can see it being slower as Launchbox is retrieving a lot of data and images all the time. I have never heard of anyone saying that it takes 20-30 minutes to load though, that seems very very excessive, even if running over the network.

DOS76 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Yeah I use ROMs from my server no issues. I wouldn't even attempt to run LB from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
