Unsolved slow, braking system

[Edvis]

@rockaddicted music in the menu slowed and games began to work slower...
if put the version below 4.1 then everything works well

[rockaddicted]

@edvis hummm never add this kind of problem and you are the first one to report that.
what is your configuration ? rpi version ? share on usb ? if usb, formated on which FS ?

[Edvis]

@rockaddicted ok, a little later I will write

is redefined in the emulator

Set game resolution for emulators

select your mode from the command : tvservice -m [MODE]

CEA 5 HDMI : 1920x1080 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz interlaced

CEA 4 HDMI : 1280x720 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz progressive

use 'default' for using the default resolution

(string)

global.videomode=default

Automatically select shaders for all systems

## (none, retro, scanlines)
global.shaderset=none

Once enabled, your screen will be cropped, and you will have a pixel perfect image (0,1)

global.integerscale=0

Set gpslp shader for all emulators (prefer shadersets above). Absolute path (string)

global.shaders=

Set ratio for all emulators (auto,4/3,16/9,16/10,custom)

global.ratio=4/3

Set smooth for all emulators (0,1)

global.smooth=0

Set rewind for all emulators (0,1)

global.rewind=0

Set autosave/load savestate for all emulators (0,1)

global.autosave=0

Enable retroarchievements (0,1)

Set your www.retroachievements.org username/password

Escape your special chars (# ; $) with a backslash : $ => $

global.retroachievements=0
global.retroachievements.hardcore=0
global.retroachievements.username=
global.retroachievements.password=

Set retroarch input driver (auto, udev, sdl2)

If you don't have issues with your controllers, let auto

global.inputdriver=auto

If you do not want recalboxOS to generate the configuration for all emulators (string)

;global.configfile=/path/to/my/configfile.cfg

------------ I - EMULATORS CHOICES -----------

You can override the global configuration here

Here is the snes example

;snes.videomode=CEA 4 HDMI
snes.core=snes9x_next
;snes.shaders=/recalbox/share/shaders/shaders_glsl/mysnesshader.gplsp
;snes.ratio=16/9
snes.smooth=0
;snes.rewind=1
;snes.autosave=0
;snes.emulator=libretro
;snes.integerscale=0

If you do not want recalboxOS to generate the configuration for the emulator :

;snes.configfile=/path/to/my/configfile.cfg

Default cores for RPi3

snes.core=snes9x_next
gba.core=mgba
mame.core=mame078
nes.core=fceumm

NeoGeo emulator

You can use pifba or a libretro core (fba2x,libretro)

neogeo.emulator=libretro

If you set libretro as neogeo.emulator, the line below sets the retroarch core (fba,imame4all)

neogeo.core=fba

N64 emulator is configured to display a screen with a 640x480 resolution (native n64 resolution)

So you must use one of these video modes (DMT 4 HDMI,CEA 1 HDMI).

If your screen is not compatible with one of these video modes, please check the recalbox's wiki.

n64.videomode=default

If you are using a CRT screen, please change the setting above with this one :

n64.videomode=default

Dreamcast emulator

Like N64, such a CPU intensive emulator needs a small resolution

Consider DMT 4 HDMI (640480) or DMT 9 HDMI (800600). If you have a black screen on dreamcast, try DMT 9 HDMI here

dreamcast.videomode=DMT 4 HDMI

Configurations generated by Recalbox

system.es.menu=default
controllers.xboxdrv.enabled=0
controllers.xboxdrv.nbcontrols=2
gba.ratio=4/3
gba.smooth=0
megadrive.ratio=4/3
nes.emulator=libretro
gbc.smooth=1
n64.smooth=1
n64.emulator=default
psx.smooth=1

@rockaddicted I remember in the spring, the first update to 4.1 worked well, and then it was updated and began to slow down everything

[Substring]

@edvis as you're the only one having that problem, i believe the problem is just on your side. What class is your SD ? any overclock ? Does ithappen with a fresh install ?

[Edvis]

@substring
on any overclock, micro sd sandisk ultra 32gb 10 class, with the new installation also slows down

[rockaddicted]

do you have a yellow "flash" icone on the top right of your screen ?

[Edvis]

@rockaddicted no

[Edvis]

@rockaddicted
does this micro sd fit?

[rockaddicted]

32gb ? nope it is ok.
I really don't know.
You roms are on USB or SD card ?

The known issue about these kind of problems on a clean install are :

• power supply issue (the yellow 'lightning" icone on top right of the screen)
• bad sd card (chinese copy with bad transfer rate)
• overclock unsupported on rpi

I don't have any new ideas... @Substring and you ?

[Edvis]

@rockaddicted
without overclocking, the problem is the same.
sd card is good. everything is on sd card.
"overclock unsupported on rpi" what do you mean?

[rockaddicted]

@edvis each rpi react differently to overclock. Sometimes once enabled system become slow, unstable etc...

[jeevuz]

@Edvis Hi you use crt tv? I have the same problem onli in crt tv, hdmi works great.

[Edvis]

@jeevuz hello, yes I use the crt TV, tired already to solve this problem.
Also today I wanted to go to a friend to check whether it works on hdmi

[Edvis]

@Edvis Hi you use crt tv? I have the same problem onli in crt tv, hdmi works great.

[Substring]

@edvis So you have problems since you're on CRT ? Well, @jeevuz hada great idea ! How are you connected ? Do you have "really many" roms ? where do the slowdowns happen ? Can you make a support archive by going to http://recalbox/help ?
