I believe super mario world does and I tested other games and super mario bros 3 on nes and 2 frames was causing issues with things happening before they should have like deaths. So 1 frame seems to be the sweet spot for 90% of games on nes and snes. Also without using runahead i believe dispmanx with threading turned off seems to be the next best thing for reduced input lag.

@mediamogul That's what I thought too, but then he asked about it occurring only during running nes games made me think. Why only during nes games and not any other emulator ? Unless he is mimicking an nes classic. The OP didn't give much details.

Ok thanks

Hi.
It is very strange your problems with the language .

Do you selected output jack audio in RetroPie menu section audio?
If the answer is yes, this type of output is very low sound.
Maybe the best solution is acquire an ampli. This cost is about 5€.

Native Spain:
Has seleccionado jack para la salida de audio desde menú retropie, sección audio?
Si la respuesta es si, tienes que conocer que la salida de sonido que saca es baja, intenta subirlo desde el menú de RetroPie (start) y desde los ajustes de retroarch.
Tal vez la mejor solución es comprar un amplificador. Este cuesta sobre 5€

I hope the link does not bother to the administration, it's not my intention

This is not implemented, you either update all installed or individually.

@steptoe Precisely!

I have been setting up my Pi2 for almost a year now and it's been quite a bumpy but rewarding ride. Bumpy because I'm not remotely tech-savy and know diddly-squat about Linux, but rewarding for the experience in itself: building the romsets, configuring emulators, choosing ES themes and now scraping roms... seeing it all come together as something that I could only dream of as a teenager is truly heartwarming.

Very soon it will be finally ready to simply plug and play! :)

Thank you all for the help :)

I use zdoom for all doom stuff. There is a wad that has a list that lets you choose which master levels wad you want to load. You just have to have all the wads in the same folder. Might work for lr-prboom too. Not sure.

@grant2258 Thank you for the response! I certainly can use the standalone version, which I will probably end up doing. I want to eventually (possibly) replace my Raspberry Pi with a small laptop that runs RetroPie, since I have access to better hardware. So I was hoping to setup a system I can connect to the TV and use the interface entirely with the controller.

I'll just have to make due for now, and choose a solution that suits me best.

@daveybones Update the RetroPie script and then re-install the xpad driver, it should work now.

@flashything yes, you select kodi in emulation station, plug in a USB stick and stream movies from it.

@spartan Seems like your system is not supported or detected properly by the RetroPie setup script. Please fill out the information asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@thelostsoul said in Secret of Mana 2 - Very strange blurry to sharp problem:

Is there a list for such games?

just google for interlaced games for the console in question. eg http://nerdlypleasures.blogspot.com/2017/10/the-rise-of-interlacing-in-video-game.html

following that link, i should correct myself in saying that SOM may use a higher horizontal resolution, rather than an interlaced mode. still, the effect is the same; your shader is doing some sort of per-pixel shadow mask, but the game changes the amount of horizontal pixels, so it's going to look different in those scenes.

And whats the best way to do exceptions and set different shader for single games?

per game overrides.

Is that the solution for me?

@mitu I think that is in the end my only option, if I want a single Arcade menu option. I really wanted avoid this.

@dankcushions That is the sollution! Thanks!!
@all thanks for the help!!

@andrewh I know it is not what you asked for, but I saw a thread some time ago where someone used Attract Mode, as there is apparently a decent vertical theme.

ok I have put the .sh in the retropie menu folder. Seems to work...
Sorry for the totally noob question. :)

thanks
