arcade_portal32 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 (edited) I have a weird setup I want to try LaunchBox on even if it winds up being slow as a turtle lol. I could not find a Min Spec Requirement list other then it requires Windows 7 & Up. I have a Dell Dimensions L1000R I use on my TV in my room for emulators and it has Windows 7 installed but it is throwing up an error when I try to use it. This is the error it it giving me... ________________________________________ Win7 LaunchBox has stopped working.... Event Name: APPCRASH APP NAME: LaunchBox.exe APP Version: 9.10.00 Fault Mod Name: KERNELBASE.dll Exception Code: e0434352 Offset: 0000d3cf and some other minor stuff GPU is a nVidia GeForce EVGA 6200 Edit: So the PC is not quite stock but def not new ________________________________________ The PC is not connected to the internet much so I can't take a screenshot of what is happening.

Jason Carr Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Hi arcade, unfortunately those error details don't help me out much to determine what the problem is, but my guess is that the issue is likely outdated software. If you can connect it to the Internet and try to install all Windows updates, I'm guessing that would likely fix it. Windows 7 is supported, but only when it's fully updated.

arcade_portal32 Posted September 7, 2019 Author Share Posted September 7, 2019 This might be my issue.... I will scroll through some updates, but I also hear fully updating my PC might brick it as it lacks SSE2 and the last few updates at least are known for bricking Windows 7 as they require the feature on your PC. ...and Windows 7 never made to run with lower then 512MB of ram as it is currently doing right now... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Sounds like you are due for an upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 well if you have under than 512MB of RAM don't even attempt using LB it will be a complete waste of time. It will give you an out of memory error message even with 2GB of RAM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcade_portal32 Posted September 7, 2019 Author Share Posted September 7, 2019 You might be right lol, It runs alot better in Windows XP mode anyway lol. Even have NDS/N64 Emulators running pretty good on it at playable speeds. But, in Windows 7 it likes to suck up way too much ram when you go to do something lol. Have this setup because it was free and has a USB hub for retro controllers lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 You would probably just be better off using RetroArch as you front-end, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcade_portal32 Posted September 7, 2019 Author Share Posted September 7, 2019 I have tried RetroArch, but there WinXP & Below support is bad even though its an option. The Windows XP options does not work at all from what people have said... I cannot get it to run, and supposedly has a very small list of emulators you can use even if your PC can run them, which mine has gotten even PS2 Emulation to work... though its a tad slow lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
