skizzosjt Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 I've had a corrupted image file(s) in the past. I had a different experience though. LaunchBox and Big Box would both boot and function (mostly) ok. Big Box was actually perfect. The exception would be once I discovered what exact image files were corrupted (easily spotted in Windows File Explorer since their file size was 0KB) I would navigate to those entries in Big Box and these images simply did not display in Big Box. So perhaps this was my clue on where to look? (when I noticed they didn't display in Big Box) I don't recall how I exactly figured it out. I could have sworn the error message thrown by LaunchBox had the platform name or directory path, something to give me a clue where to look. LaunchBox had a little more of an issue. I could launch LaunchBox and navigate and boot games, edit this and that etc. So seemed to be perfect too for a min.The real issue here was as soon as I clicked onto an entry that had a corrupted image file, say the box front artwork, LaunchBox tries to display that and had a fit and would crash. I think this also was my clue on where to look. ie I can click on all my other entries OK, but this one is repeatedly causing a crash, so something must be wrong with this entries images Just sharing what I did to help figure it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truest1 Posted December 22, 2023 Author Share Posted December 22, 2023 Ok so it was infact some files in image folder. I renamed the image folder _images and starter launchbox and no error at all. So luckily I had a backup of my image folder on another drive copied it back o we and walla back in action. Thank you all who chimed in on this one it was driving me crazy. Much appreciated, keep gaming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
