Big Box failing to start games

So a recentish problem this and one I think that came in since 11.4 (maybe 11.3), but when I try to start a game in Big Box it fails to load. I can see that it opens up a startup window but then that doesn't seem to start the required emulator. All working fine last week.

I've checked multiple emulators and all have the same issue. Annoyingly, this seems to remove my mouse cursor so I end up having to restart my PC unfortunately :( Everything works directly in the emulators and in Launchbox - it's just impossible to start a game up in Big Box at the moment for me.

Has anyone encountered anything similar?

I've managed to sort this somewhat. Problem came from using the Gridblocked startup theme. I've since moved to Big Logo (or Default - that works too) and now it boots games fine.

Not sure what's wrong with Gridblocked or Big Fade Start though - neither start games when applied. Has anyone else had issues?

Tested both those themes and games for multiple emulators work fine. I will test on a couple other machines to make sure. I know Startups can cause issues with some emulators, but that is Startups as a whole, not a specific theme. This was something Jason mentioned early on with the development of startups and partly why we can turn it off by emulator.
