      Try Tekken 3. Most stuff on PS1 isn't very demanding but Tekken 3 pushes the pi to the limit.

        No problems at all with Tekken 3 running on A+.

          In fact when running "top" over SSH during a game the memory usage for retroarch is around 16% for Tekken 3 and up to 22% playing ISS Pro.

                Please open a support topic and add the info from https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first to it. Explain there how you're using the USB and how is behaving.

                  great news, that you manage to boot-up on pi3A+
                  i'm still struggling on boot up sequence, tried manually chaning config file by adding gpu_mem=348 , autologin-user=cli but no luck.
                  refered from this video on youtube watch?v=sKKcj4mO4aQ

                  Any tip for me ?
                  PS: i dont have pi3 b+.... just pi2 B and pi3a+

                      I just used the official image and put it on another Pi, configured wifi and updated all packages including system, kernel, etc via retropie setup. The autologin was reinstated using Boot Options in raspi-config . Once done I transferred the SD card to the Pi 3a+ and that's it.

                      Hopefully the next version will be released soon so that the above will become unnecessary....

                      Everything I've tried so far performs just as well as a regular Pi 3b+ (in my opinion).

                      Obviously only having one usb port can be a challenge at times (unless you use Bluetooth for controllers).

                        I like to have 4 x times the USB for the RPI 3 b+
                        it is usefull.

                        two usbs for the two gamepads.
                        one usb for the sound (logitech alsamixer, card 1).
                        and one usb for the harddisk (gb) or the keyboard in case of Quake 3
