@Jason CarrReporting back: My Big-Box Theme and video corruption issue is now resolved . What was required to fix it, was for me to completely Re-install Windows 10. My best assumption to what caused this is that when I had Updated to Core.net it had exposed some sort of driver corruption conflict which was causing Big-Box Theme issues that for me were impossible to resolve. (Issues did not occur in Big-Box 11.2)  So, the fix again was to perform a clean install of Windows 10 and add back all drivers. Since doing so, All of my Big-Box Themes and Menu's are now working as expected in Latest Beta (at time of this writing is 11.3 Beta 16).   <Thanks>

Wow, ridiculous that you had to reinstall Windows to get it fixed, but I'm glad it's fixed. Thanks for bearing with us @MazJohn [Mr Arcade].

Well in beta 16 I just ran into this where after launching BigBox then closing and then trying to launch LB I get this error.  As you can see in taskmgr both BB and LB are running.  I have let it sit here for 30 min and still there.  I will try and reproduce.

Do you have debug logging enabled? Can you send me the log file from when this happened?

hey has anyone gotten any false positives for avira virus... for some reason both the big box and the launchbox updaters came up as trojans. Dropper.gen i think

The betas often do, with crappy AV's that is. Generally official releases dont, but betas due to the quick turnaround may flag.

So yes false positive.

Yes, just recently in this thread. I recommend dropping whatever crappy anti-virus you're running that's throwing the false positives. Stick with Windows built-in Defender. It's all you need.

Just a quick explanation, AV's go on number of installs, so if a million users have the same file installed and none of them have reported issues that file is presumed safe. The issue here is a relatively niche product (not to us its not, but in general PC terms it is) that then has a beta that only a small percentage of that already niche audience actually installs, means no info to go on, so the AV assumes virus/trojan whatever. Its a shitty way of going about antivirus to be honest.

Ok I turned the debug logging on and was able to reproduce.  Looks like when you switch between themes is causing it.  just my .02  I have attached all the logs from starting LB and BB and then trying to exit.  Hope this helps  ?

As in these games are not part of a standard MAME romset?

Deco cassette games are part of the MAME romset for sure.  I still don't know what you mean.  I was asking if they were supposed to be filtered (see previous discussion of MAME imports in this thread).  Most people would want these to be filtered as they are redundant if you have the Data East games, as they were with old Lightspeed filters.

That is exactly what i was asking, is that part of the MAME arcade set (the one we all know of and use) or the MAME software list set (the one that includes consoles and more specifically old computer systems) that very often use cassettes or discs as there media.

I have since learned that the stuff you are talking about is in fact part of the MAME Arcade romset. So that was the question i as asking, and the fact that you are so confused about the answer yourself must mean we both have more to learn about MAME, it is not just a arcade emulator, but also often a computer emulator.

Deco Cassette was an arcade system.  It was an alternative to the actual Data East machines in that they let arcades switch the games in the cabinet, but they are the exact same game as the Data East game (Burgertime, Bump n Jump, etc), so they are a duplicate that most people would want filtered.

Beta 17 is out now with the following:

  • Performance improvements when pressing OK on Add/Edit
  • More thread priority and multi-threading improvements that should result in better performance throughout.

Those of you who were experiencing delays/performance issues, please let us know how this beta fares.

So today I hit Ctrl+B from LaunchBox to start BigBox, and it's been like 15Mins with it not even opening. Thing is I look at the pinned BigBox on my toolbar, and I see "BigBox (2)" when I hover my mouse cursor over it. I then clicked it, and Avast was scanning it since I haven't used it yet after Installing the latest Beta. After that, it decides to start BigBox
