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

Shader set

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 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]

@jeevuz said in slow, braking system:

@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 ?

[Edvis]

@substring There is no difference how many Roms, on one sd card there are Roms, on the second sd card only standard roms. the problem is the same. the problem arises immediately at boot, the cross triangle and the square are rotated slowly and the sound is slow. slow sound in the menu and slow games. Yes I use crt tv.
your link http://recalbox/help does not open

[Edvis]

@substring
slow in all Roms

[rockaddicted]

Guys if you are using an "exotic" setup you must tell us. Crt screen on composite is about 1% of users.
Anyway, it is a good point to catched that.
To be able to on this address your rpi must be connected on your local network.
You can generate manually an archive support by ssh.
Please look this wiki: https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Recalbox-support-(EN)

[Substring]

@edvis you need to connect your Pi to the Network. If you're using a mac then try http://recalbox.local/help

I have used a 4.1 on CRT using the composite cable, had absolutely no problem. So can you detail your full setup ?
