leibrockk Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) Whenever I speed scroll through my list of MAME games in Big Box with LED Blinky active, the list chops and doesn't allow me to scroll as fast as I could without LED Blinky. I disabled LED Blinky to test, and the scrolling works fine. I was thinking the issue was the "Demo Game Controls" option in LED Blinky Config > Launchbox tab, where LED Blinky previews the lit LEDs for each MAME game as you scroll. But even after disabling Demo Game Controls, I still can't scroll through my list of games in Big Box without it chopping. I reached out to the LED Blinky developer, arzoo, and was told ... "LED Blinky's Demo Controls mode has the delay feature so that an item in the list isn't "processed" until after there's a pause in the scrolling. In this manner, LED Blinky doesn't get overloaded as you scroll really fast through list items. I think the issue here is that BB is sending a command to LED Blinky for every item in the list as you scroll but doesn't use similar delay logic. I don't believe this was a problem in prior versions of LB/BB, and I don't know what changed? By disabling the Demo Game Controls option, LED Blinky ignores all the game scroll events, but BB is still sending all those events." From emailing with arzoo, it sounds like this is being worked on. I wanted to ask if it would be realistic for this fix to come with the next Launchbox / Big Box update? Thank you!

C-Beats Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 We are looking into this issue. You aren't the first to report this problem and the devs at LEDBlinky have reached out to us as well. When we get any corrections put into a beta I'll reach out for help testing the correction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leibrockk Posted November 23, 2021 Author Share Posted November 23, 2021 Any update on this? The integration with LED Blinky in Big Box is awesome, but the scrolling delay is a very frustrating issue. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Beats Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 12.5 Beta 1 has code changes to help diminish the delay reported in this thread. Would it be possible for some of you to update to the beta and let us know if it solves (or at least improves) the issue you are having?
