I just replaced the code in the applaunch.bat file (users/rob/appdata/roaming/XBMC/addons/script.games.rom.collection.browser) with the above and hasnt helped either unfortunately. Really want to use Rom collection browser but having to revert back to advanced launcher due to this issue which is a real shame. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated@huzz456, wagnumpi: Did you use the original applaunch.bat script that comes with RCB or did you modify it in any way?

It turns out that If I run mess (in this example) and I feed it a sega genesis rom (for example), performance starts out ok, but then degrades after a few minutes. Sure enough mess is using 100% of the CPU by this point. Once I kill it, xbmc starts back up again, and CPU performance goes down to normal.Puh, why can't these things never be easy
The problem is, this ONLY happens when I've launched the emulator, FROM SOLO MODE, from within RCB. Lets say that I kill xbmc. So now the only thing running, really, is the window manager (fluxbox.) If I launch the emulator the SAME WAY that RCB runs it, but _without_ RCB/XBMC in the way, performance is fantastic on the emulator.
So I know its not that my machine can't run the emulator. It only happens when I launch it with RCB in SOLO mode.
What could the difference be?
To be honest I have no idea. This is the exact reason why I added solo mode: to have the emulator running with better performance than with XBMC running side by side. Can you reproduce the same behaviour with other emulators? And, can you check what processes may consume power while the emulator is running?
