Faster loading times for Core 2 Duo/Quad computers/arcades
I have been using launchbox lastest oficial download for some time now, a little bug made me try the lastest beta (27 i think) and OMG the SPEED... it loads a lot faster, the images and videos are reproduced faster and the navegability is better.
Can I please ask you to try to improve the speed a little more for old systems? I have notices that the images that take more time are arcade posters and logos that are not available (that takes a lot of time for something that is not available) Videos take up to 2 seconds sometimes to load.
Please do not close this enhancement, please give it a day, a try, just a few hours of coding and see if you can speed up things a little more, a lot of arcades made with old computers will thank you so much
My arcade is:
Core 2 Quad 3.2ghz 4gb ram ddr2 geforce gtx 9800 component out. launchbox installed on 240gb ssd kingstom hyper x (SATA 2) Roms and emulatores on 3TB Western Digital Green (SATA 2) Windows 7 x64 hacked to launch only bigbox and nothing more. (no explorer.exe)
I used maximus arcade in the past, it is super fast and loads everything inmediately, but it is a very old and it has been overshadowed by launchbox and the big amount of updates it has.
I hope you give this enhancement a try, I know that launchbox can be even faster.

All emulators work at full speed with this config except for some ps2 games. Man that emulator is a cpu hog
