Retroarch crashing only in big box.

[Tackett1980]

Like the title says, I have this up and running but for some blasted reason, whenever I try to load a mame rom from big box, retroarch crashes.  
 

For instance, I boot up big box, go to the arcade and select marvel vs. capcom.

it will attempt to load, then it will crash and I’ll get a windows dialogue that says “retroarch.exe has stopped working”

I can go into retroarch and load the rom and it works just fine.

i can open launchbox, click on the rom and again it loads just fine.

it will not work at all through big box.

Anyone know what’s going on here?

Ok I figured this out in case anyone is interested.

I disabled the startup images/themes and now it works perfectly.

Which is kind of a bummer that you have to go without it.  Paid like 50 bucks for this and a feature is pretty much non-functional.

Well that is something specific to your system then. I use both the startup/shutdown screens and the pause screens with Retroarch just fine.

Do your settings match these?

Just looked and yes the settings are identical.

 

The screens work just fine in launchbox no problem.  Big box doesn’t.
