3dlollo Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I can reproduce this consistently; got a small mini pc that use a celeron, as mini emulator pc; installed LB on it and I am using BB. It runs fine, but then it just freeze at random, and I need to kill the BB process. Sometimes it freeze when you let it be for a while, which means leaving it be for 10-20 minutes (does not matter on which platform I leave it be), some other times it freeze and hang while you are switching platforms. I don't see this issue with my other computers running BB, but those are more powerful machines. Not sure what is the problem here; I will try to switch themes and see if the problem is tied to a specific theme; or maybe to the amount of memory (this mini pc got 6 GB total of RAM). Did anyone experience something similar? My BB is stock, minus the theme which I changed from the default; and I have a bunch of videos and screenshots for each game and platform (including the theme videos); so my setup is pretty much standard, nothing special.

3dlollo Posted April 14, 2021 Author Share Posted April 14, 2021 Not sure exactly if nobody care about this report or if I am missing important info to convey. As now, I can't use reliably Big box (launchbox works fine); and I have no way to troubleshoot this. Considering I paid for the BB extra features, feel a bit disappointing to not be able to actually use it. I don't see issues in the machine running LB/BB; it is running fine with LB, emulators run fine; so it does not seem to be an issue at hardware level. I don't recall minimum specs for running BB, so I am just stuck trying to understand what is causing the hang. Any help would be appreciated; unless you have a support email which I could use to track the issue, instead of posting here in the troubleshooting forum. Thanks!

C-Beats Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 The following would be helpful bits of information to have before any one could help potentially identify why you may be experiencing issues: What is your processor? What is your video card? What does your storage situation look like? What type of drive is the image cache stored on? What operating system are you running? Are you up to date with OS updates? Are your video drivers up to date? How many systems/games are in your collection? Do you have these issues with the default theme? What version of Big Box are you running?

Switch to default and let me know if you still encounter the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's currently not the same as the version you download from within Big Box.

3dlollo Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 Thanks, finally got some time to play with my cabinet and got it solved. The theme was what would hang BigBox; I changed it to another theme (forgot the name, I think it is the normalized or something like that) and now it works fine. Still trying to figure out how to configure BB to be sure the computer goes to sleep when I turn off the cabinet monitor, but at least now I can have the attract mode running while the cabinet is on. Thanks for the hints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
