@GreenHawk84 With what pi? I tested 3rd strike. Pi3b+ stock speeds. Retropie buster dev build. Fbn from source. It's not a solid 60fps but audio is fine most of the time. There's plenty of drops but normally doesn't go below 59fps. Doing a super is the real test for drops. Supers can give me ~58fps and I get scratchy audio when that happens. When overclocked, supers are ~59.3fps

Afaik, that's normal, the refresh rate is 59.59Hz, so while RA will render at 60Hz, it will still do frame duping to lower framerate to 59.59 (except if you got a setup with freesync/gsync). Furthermore RA's fps counter has always been inaccurate, afaik it's jumpy on every devices, even when you have the power to emulate the content at 10x speed. So having this fps counter going between 59.3 & 60 for cps3 games seems legit to me.

I use a Pi3B+ stock. Retroarch settings are also stock, nothing fancy. I try to run the vanilla hardware/performance settings just like a console out of the box. When I mounted the SD with Retropie I did nothing but configure controls and install roms, basic things.
-
@GreenHawk84 It doesn't seem normal, it could originate from hardware (overheating, bad psu, ...).

Ra doesnt dupe at all it just runs things faster including audio its runs at 60fps regardless unless you change the audio skew settings or are using freesync/gsync

No, you are wrong, my pi3+ run a game like rtype (55Hz) or tapper (30Hz) at exactly the same pace than my desktop (with freesync enabled), the only difference is the frame duping. Setting the refresh rate is working properly on pi3+.

@barbudreadmon I switched out a no-name PSU for the official Raspberry Pi PSU. I bought another 3B+ after it was suggested my original 3B+ was faulty. Same exact issues. I really don't think my setup is the issue.
-
@barbudreadmon One thing's for sure, you need to oc the pi3b+ to get rid of the fps drops when doing supers. Audio starts to crackle when that happens and the ~58fps confirms it.
-
@GreenHawk84 to diagnose we really need your full set of configs.
ie
/boot/config.txt
/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
/opt/retropie/configs/fbn/retroarch.cfg
/opt/retropie/configs/arcade/retroarch.cfg (if you run it via the arcade folder)and also run the game with verbose logging turned on and show us /dev/shm/runcommand.log

anything between 57 and 59 will not dupe you know this 30 and 50 are outside the audio skew so i would say im not worng

No, i don't know any of this. I tried
tagteam(57Hz), it was running at the proper speed on both my desktop & pi3+, as far as i can tell you probably just have some bad setting.Edit : apparently, it's working as you said if you leave default settings, however i've those settings in both my setups, they make refresh rate working properly for me :
vrr_runloop_enable = "true" video_adaptive_vsync = "true" -
yea you can do that or change the audio skew it will fix it as well requires a restart though its a design choice by ra. I thought you where aware of this after the journey topic. Iy is fixable but users will need guidance if they want it working properly it isint an obvious setting

Let me know if you can access these properly. I appreciate your effort to see if my setup is faulty.

vrr_runloop_enable = "true" video_adaptive_vsync = "true"Are these recommended settings? And if so, should I set them in the Fbneo folder, or in the Retroarch one?

These settings would be useful if you have a Variable refresh rate (VRR) monitor:

thanks!
well, here's one curio:
[INFO] [Overrides] core-specific overrides found at /home/pi/.config/retroarch/config/FinalBurn Neo/FinalBurn Neo.cfg. [INFO] [Overrides] game-specific overrides found at /home/pi/.config/retroarch/config/FinalBurn Neo/sfiii3.cfg.so it looks like you have both a core and a game override in play. can you please upload those, also? the locations are listed above.
EDIT: and also
/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-core-options.cfgthe rest of the configs look good to me.

A gsync/freesync monitor isn't required,
tagteamis showing 57fps whether i connect it to a freesync monitor or a normal monitor. In the first place i doubt freesync/gsync monitors would do something about VRR without a compatible gpu, and i doubt the VC4/VC6 are such gpus.My guess would be that this setting enable the real VRR thing when hardware is compatible, and will do the duping thing otherwise.
Anyway yeah, it might make sense if fbneo had those 2 settings turned on by default in retropie.
