      I discovered that the Amiga emulation uses an older SDL1 version of Amiberry. While this works fine performance-wise, it has the known problems that screen size adjustments are not saved (bad for games that use Overscan like Oxxonian) and it has a very high audio latency (about half a second in the Action game of Oxxonian). Is it possible to use a newer build of Amiberry (one of the SDL2 ones) instead? They have much less audio latency and get the screen size right.

        @rabejens no it's not possible by yourself, you have to wait for integration, and it won't be before 3-4 months at least

          @rabejens I'll make it more precise: midwan made the choice to use sdl2-ttf, which forces OpenGL instead of OpenGLES. That's a big no go as it would mean to switch Recalbox to KMS/DRM, knowing that the KMS driver for pi is still on a beta stage, and has quite some drawbacks as of today. We'll have to stick to SDL1 for very very much time

            OK, then I'll have to stick with the DOS and maybe ST versions of the Amiga games I want to play.
