Crashing and slowness when browsing a platform

[Kuro Houou]

I have noticed on all my Nvidia Shields, once I load up a platform full of games and box art etc., performance has tanked to the point where I can't even scroll to the bottom before the scrolling grinds to a halt then the app crashes.. The odd thing, my biggest platform "Arcade" doesn't have this issue, but something like SNES does.  Just wondering if anyone else has seen similar performance issues or not?

I switched to the boxes grid view, seems to work the best for me performance wise.  One thing I was thinking was maybe having to load extra images was slowing it down too much.. I wonder it would be possible to disable certain images already downloaded, like turn off backgrounds?

One thing I have heard on this topic, is that if you're running everything from an SD card, make sure it's a high-quality and fast SD card. You will definitely run into issues like this if you're running everything off of a cheap/slow SD card.

Also, to help with performance, make sure you've used the option to "Download all missing media". Let me know if that helps.

I have nvidia shield too, I think performance improved after resizing all images using foldersize program.

But it still gets frozen sometimes and it sometimes crashes, the app get closed.

But the movement speed had been improved.

I notice the same thing that OP has been (I have a TON of games). I was thinking of trying to move the launchbox folder from the external drive (where it defaulted to) and moving it to internal storage. External has my roms of course, but is an HDD, as to my adopted internal storage being an SSD. Will try tonight and see if it helps.
