@dankcushions said in FPS dips in secret of Mana on specific screens. What is causing this?:

@Aksen https://github.com/dborth/snes9xgx/issues/66

if this is the same slowdown your experiencing, it's as per the original game.

ah, okay. I'm not surprised the original game had slowdowns in areas with lots of sprites, but I'm also getting it (along with crackly audio) in the fullscreen menus. If that's in the original game, then my emulation is running fine and I'm happy, but the slowdown in the menus may be a different issue:

I have the original cart on hand but my snes is packed up somewhere, or else I'd check for myself :-/

Just edit /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg and remove the retropie section.

unfortunately that doesn't seem to work. I need the input to recognize GPIO rather than the controller button.

Let me explain a little better...
I am using a Super Video Arcade machine as the case for my retropie set up. The goal of the project, like many have done, was to use the original on/off switch and reset button for all emulators.

So to do that, I have 1 GPIO input setup for the keyboard letter 'r' which I used as reset in my jzintv keyboard hack. It works great. So the Intellivision emulator acts completely like a real Intellivision complete with reset and on/off switch. I still have the keypad programmed for exit and all that, but I use the 'reset' button just for the sake of nostalgia.

So I'd like to do the same with all other emulators using the 'reset' button as the input for each emulator... I just can't get it to work.

Thanks.

Can't upgrade, is there any way to install xpad driver on 3.6?

I think I need edit the hardcoded configuration with the id of the gamepad...
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/RetroArch-Configuration#hardcoded-configurations

###add one line here for example input_player_joypad_id=dualshock3
input_player1_joypad_index = 0
input_player1_b_btn = 2
input_player1_a_btn = 1
input_player1_y_btn = 3
input_player1_x_btn = 0
input_player1_l_btn = 4
input_player1_r_btn = 5
.........

anyone know this command?? Thanks forum!

@Nairolf2 Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

@meleu thanks for responding, I've added my different controllers now, sorry for not doing this earlier. However I don't think this is of any importance since every controller (except for my bog standard keyboard) gives the same results.

@SkittleBrau79 you were installing packages before and your internet connection broke or an upgrade was interrupted or something. Impossible to say.

@BuZz hey Buzz, thank you again for the help! I've already added about 60 games and scraped them. I'm afraid my memory stick may be too small, if I were to simply copy everything from my current stick over to a larger stick, would it retain all the scraped info and games and settings?

Also post support questions to the support category. Moved.

@jcook84 yeah i wish i could have scanlines :( but i have too many mods working in zdoom. And several are for zdoom only. It sucks the pi isnt fast enough for "winter'fury" i had to make the screen really really tiny for parts of level 1. And there is so much lag level 2 is not playable.

@meleu Thanks! I appreciate the info

I was able to beat the guy without switching the controllers, so by the time I read this it was too late, but it may come in handy if I decide to do another run through!

Thank you for the help!
