I was having problems with the old version of RetroPie 3.9 the game will start playing and suddenly freeze. I try installing and uninstalling the Emulator but the problem was there when I finally find the newest version of the RetroPie MAME Emulators and now the games run smoothly and the enjoy of playing the game is back.

@GreenHawk84 i can't imagine a hardware issue would ever manifest in one game(s) playing a bit slower. i can almost guarantee it is your configs being all jacked up, which seems the case from your last few posts. very easy to reinstate if you follow the above advice. there will be an rp-dist master version in every folder, but i fancy you got yourself into a mess that no-one will be able to truly fix without seeing the whole structure. i advice starting a new thread and uploading all the relevant config files and screenshots of the folders in question. this is very off topic now.

My personal settings are (with a little heat sink on the CPU and RAM: arm_freq=1500 arm_freq_min=450 gpu_freq=530 gpu_freq_min=200 core_freq=525 core_freq_min=200 sdram_freq=533 sdram_freq_min=200 over_voltage=2 over_voltage_min=-2 over_voltage_sdram=1 temp_soft_limit=70 The undervolting and lower clocks are done to lower heat during passive moments; which allows for longer boost frequencies. As soon as the heatsink is saturated (70C), the CPU throttles down to 1,2Ghz; and this is to stall this event as long as possible. Besides, there's no real noticeable difference between arm idle frequency of 450Mhz or the stock 600Mhz.

@JohnMartin as a owner of 3 psps. A 1000, 2000 and a Go. I recommend a 3000 or a Go. The 3000 over the 2000 because of the better screen, other wise they are almost the same. I’ve used my psp for years for emulators. I find NES, Genesis and gameboy is basically flawless. SNES is ok. Performance is not 100% for all games. GBA is actually pretty good. Most games are fine, some have minor performance issues, and some have graphic glitches. But very playable. PlayStation is excellent cause it uses Sony’s own emulator that was used in the Sony store. N64 is terrible and more a proof of concept. And of course you can load any psp game on top of all that. I’ve also run neo geo that runs pretty good. Minor slowdowns.

@hooperre said in The new Raspberry Pi 4 is here!!: @Ecks said in The new Raspberry Pi 4 is here!!: I am just curious but what is the progress right now with RetroPie for the Pi 4 at the moment and sorry for asking just waiting for a build of it first before i would buy the Pi 4 and do you guys think the 2gb model would be more than enough as well? There's no ETA as far as a release or updates beyond the github that have been provided. I doubt you will get a different answer from the Retropie team. You can follow the github: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/issues/2749 Most people view 2 GB as more than enough to run emulators and emulationstation proper. I personally jumped for the 4 GB as to be ahead of any changes. Oh ok well i wanted to buy the 4gb model but here in Canada it is a little much plus for certain arcades games i want to try out in my mind i tend to think 2gb would be enough because the first game i want to test out for sure is Killer instinct 1 and 2.

@simpleethat Yes, iD does. ;) I had to solve some obstacles getting keyboard input configured in the Spectrum emulator, though. To have full keyboard access in the game, you have to set the controllers for player 1 and 2 to "none" and for player 3 to "Sinclair Keyboard". But then, the keyboard overlay on "Select" doesn't work anymore. I'll have to look further into this. Hint: On the Spectrum's keyboard, a question mark is made with Right Alt + C (AltGr + C on a German keyboard). I think you'll need it to ask iD questions. ;) edit: Ah, I finally found the solution (just mentioning it here to close this up). Set player 1's controller to Cursor Joystick and all of its bindings except for Keyboard Overlay to "---". Then you'll have the overlay on whatever key you set it to, and the rest of the keyboard will work nonetheless. Hint 2: Press Right Alt + M for a full stop / period.

Apologies if this has already been mentioned but.... ZX Spectrum : Batty. Great little bat and ball game. Even has a great two player co-op mode where P1 takes left of screen and P2 takes right. Easy enough to configure to use joypads. Looks great also.

@ExarKunIv Yes I was not able to get the latest version of OpenRCT2 working at all on my 3b+. I was able to get an older version running but it had a glitch with the mouse cursor that I couldnt figure out.

Another, possibly additional way to explain something to the players would be custom launch images. They shouldn't contain too much information though, since they are only shown for a (configurable) short time before a game is started, but for simple button layouts or the controllers used (joystick, trackball, paddle …) they could provide an easy, hard-to-miss help for the players.
