      Hi all!
      I recently updated my system to Reload 7.1.1 and I’m having issues with performance. It is perceptive the system struggling right on the dashboard’s game transition that seems to be stuttering, not smoothly sliding. Then all emulators are having the same symptoms no matter what game, it’s image is stuttering and slow, and the sound is also cracking as if the CPU or the GPU didn’t have enough power to process that (happened a lot with my Raspberry Pi 3+ trying to run PSP, it just didn’t have enough processing power to run that smoothly). This only started after I installed the last update 7.1.1. My hardware is a Raspberry Pi4 8GB RAM with a 500gb SSD drive (system and games in it) in a Nespi4 Case.
      Maybe that has something to do with GPU tweaking or even a new feature that needs to be reconfigured?

      Any help with that is much appreciated! 🙂

          Hi @olivierdroid92, thanks for your reply! So, any game that I have tested so far of all emulators are having this issue except Nintendo64 (which is weird as that would be precisely the one I would expect this behavior). NeoBF, Mame, Mega Drive, NeoGeo, PSP, DreamCast, PSX, all of them are presenting the same symptoms, which leads me to think that this is a system issue and not isolated. My impression is that the emulation station have a speed control and that was tuned down, as if everything was slightly slower, in slow motion...

          Thank you!

            All my games are running fullspeed, at 60FPS with overlays.

            May be can you can try with an other ROM support : either micoSD card, USB Stick, USB hardsik

                No i do not use any shader.
                I do not have enable 'pixel perfect'
                I only used 'my overlay' pack from SS with some adjustments.

                  @olivierdroid92 Yes, mine was running just fine before the update 7.1.1... after updating things started to behave like this...

                    Hi @toniosj, honestly I don’t know, is there any file that I can check this config?

                    Thank you!

                      Ok, I backed up my system and fresh flashed my SSD with Reload 7.1.1... didn’t change any config or transferred any game, just ran the built in games, same exactly issue, slow and stuttering...
                      Then I re-flashed again with version Reload 7.0.1 and magically everything was back working as it should. If I was to guess the issue I would say it is something related to the SSD... anyway, I will keep this version for some time until we figure what is going on with version 7.1.1...
                      Thank you!
