Bigbox Freezing the computer when changing platforms.
Issue #2079
resolved
Big box starts to have weird behaviors after a while when browsing systems, sometimes it starts missing information like the video, or the text, or the pictures, sometimes everything and then it freezes the whole computer...
This does not happen when using normal windows or any emulator. It just happens when browsing systems in and out on bigbox.
It is driving me nuts.

Hi Martin, we've put in a lot of fixes with the latest beta. If you can, give it a shot and see if you're seeing the same issues.

Ok, i'll give it a try, i hope it also works faster, there are a lot of slow down issues even on an ssd (hooked on sata2) specially on mame collection, it seems to work faster on any other big collection like snes and sega genesis.

I must say I'm impressed, big box works a lot faster even on mame collection, it is not full speed yet, but the difference is very noticeable, you should keep doing these speed upgrades for low end computers, remember that many arcade machines are using core 2 duo / core 2 quad cpus because that is pretty much all you need to play any emulator, even ps2 emulator.
I still do not know if the bug is fixed, i'm browsing the systems now, i'll keep you updated, but i wanted to say that the speed has improved a lot. Still not perfect though :)
