Launching into Big Box freezes on black screen/Not Responding.

Hey there. Just updated to 13.26 and now launching into Big Box doesn't work. It plays the Initializing Big Box audio clip, loads to a black screen, and then freezes. Clicking on it will bring up "BigBox is not Responding" and I can close it. No amount of waiting causes it to load up.

I saw another thread suggesting I delete Data\BigBoxSettings.xml, but no change.

I enabled debug mode and attached the log, but I don't think it says anything useful.

Open to suggestions for things to try!

I decided to play around a ton (installed a 2nd LaunchBox install, that worked; tried copying over various files to see what would and wouldn't work) and ultimate found the solution.

I had to delete Emulators.xml of all things.

So I guess something is wrong with the old Emulators.xml from an old version, that the new version didn't like. Attaching it if devs wanna take a look.

Guess that means I gotta set up my emulators again. :X

Emulators.xml
