Issue #853 invalid
brock Smith created an issue

Hi i put my launchbox that i had on my computer on my tablet and none of the details or videos are working on every game in the details window it only shows the name of the game nothing else. I also copy and pasted my launchbox from my pc to my tablet didnt do a fresh install if that matters i also tryed to download new meta data and that didnt work but the front covers for every game are still showing up. any idea on how to fix it i would rather not have to do a fresh install cause it took me a long while to setup every thing. tablet specs Windows 10, 2GB Ram, 1.33ghz processer. Also i keep getting errors and bigbox wont even load just see bigbox title till it times out

    You don't have enough power to ideally run everything that LaunchBox or BigBox has to offer, at least that's my guess. We've seen users put LaunchBox on extremely under powered Windows tablets but they admit that all they get working is basic running and launching, but barely. Nothing really works for them. Ideally you would want better hardware to run well enough.

    Do you think a surface pro with intel Core i5 (3rd Gen) 3317U / 1.7 GHz Max Turbo Speed: 2.6 GHz (Duel Core) --- 4GB DDR3 SDRAM Memory, would be strong enough to run them.

    Potentially, it's really hard to know. I would say that you'd be in a better position surely to run it. Dual cores and RAM have come a long way, but the OS it's self still requires a base amount to just run. On either tablet I would streamline what's installed, what services are running, etc to keep at lean and mean as possible. It may lag a bit, and remember to turn your RAM cache off more than likely, and it might lag a lot during caches but you'd have a better chance of achieving something that works well enough.

    Thanks for replying back fast and idk i might try and get a microsoft pro 2 with 8 gb ram and 1.9 processer and ssd hardrive which i think should do the job and thanks for replying back so fast and no need to reply back to this message dont want to waste any more of ye time.TY

    I've tested and was able to run LaunchBox fairly well on an original Surface Pro. That was before Big Box when I had that tablet, though, so never got a chance to test Big Box.

    I expect Big Box to run fine though on the original Surface Pro; my guess would be that it would work. My only concern is that maybe the high resolution might slow performance for animations.
