I know it is frustrating but thanks for sticking it out so a solution has a chance of being found.

How does it behave if you disable Emulator 62 - GameCube?

The problem seems to be with hbmane. Is there a way to post a video?

[DJ Infinity]

Deleted all references to hbmane.xml, disabled the GameCube emulator you wanted. Game Ex boots faster but...still hangs when trying to switch games.

[DJ Infinity]

Game Ex hung on Black screen when trying to switch games. Ended up restarting

Then just drag & drop your recording at the bottom of your post.

I apologise for any issues. Its mainly because I am dual working on the cross platform versions and trying to improve performance. I have come along way on that. GameEx really flies now.

i see yiouve switched to (turned on) full screen exclusive since last time. you may want to try turning that off again,.

[DJ Infinity]

That got it one one setup. The other setup still takes all day to scan folders. I guess because Steam is enabled on that one

[Tom Speirs]

Could be, but you have the option in the settings to turn off validation for Steam. That might help. The log above looks fine though.

See the validate setting for Steam:
