randomly bigbox crashes without errors when exiting a game. it simply closes without giving any sign, I find myself back on my desktop and am forced to restart the frontend

I should point out that I haven't changed mame in years, I'm at version 0. 235 for a long time and i've never had any problems with bigbox, however recently it happens that when i play mame and then return to bigbox it's all weird, it seems that bigbox runs at lower fps also if i start other emulators i have serious problems, for example hypseus singe starts minimized under bigbox and there's no way to raise it, even with alt tab it stays below, another example is supermodel, if i play after mame it on exit crashes bigbox, i have to restart the whole windows system and restart bigbox, avoid playing mame and play all other emulators, this is frustrating and i don't understand why

In this example video I show you that I start dragon's lair without a problem, afterwards I start mame without a problem, afterwards I start dragon's lair again and bigbox takes the focus and does not leave it any more

Please note: the loading times of dragon's lair are correct, I set a long time to cover the initial black

If you are running the beta here is fine but honestly this may not be an actual beta issue so I may at some point move this to its own thread. Have you tested running the prior non-beta release?

Also please give our devs time. Its a small team of 2-3 and they have other work they deal with daily. Providing testing notes is helpful. 

Yes, I have installed version 13.8, 13.7 and, 13.6 and 13.5 but the problem persists. I probably didn't notice it because I haven't played mame much in the last few months, I was interested in other games and I was making the move. so I don't know exactly which version this problem stemmed from. What is certain is that I have owned mame 0.235 for two years without ever changing anything and associated Bibgox since forever.
I've moved my last 3 posts to another thread but I'm asking everyone please to help me out because I've already done a lot of testing but I can't figure out what mame does and especially what it leaves in memory after closing.

Moved to own thread as this is not a beta issue. 

It would be helpful if you post pics of your LB set-up for Mame. Go to Manage Emulators and edit Mame. Post a pics of the items below:

1. Details page

2. Associated Platforms page

3. Startup Screen page

4. Running Script page

5. Exit Script page

Update: I tried a clean installation of Windows on a new hard disk, without any antivirus and no additional software, but unfortunately the situation remains the same 😔

news : I'm here to confirm that the bug is in the BigBox start and close screen, I had to disable it and for other emulators that gave me the same problem like OPENBOR I had to put the flag on the option, go in and un-flag all of them one by one.

I really regret not being able to use these screens, I really like them.

The second problem unfortunately remains, namely the stuttering and the feeling of lack of fluidity when navigating in BigBox after exiting these emulators.
