Roll Back update

Cyborgbob

Hello all,

I have a raspberry pi 4b 4g.
Overclocked:

overscan_scale=0
over_voltage=6
arm_freq=2000
gpu_freq=650
enable_uart=1
gpu_mem=512

Argon one case with shut down script installed, EZ hax tool kit, the bezel project installed, and power supply from the pi foundation. I am running a stock image, and everything was running very well. I updated everything last night, cores, kernel, and dependencies. Everything now runs kinda slow now. From NES to the PSX. is there a way to roll back? I am guessing I should have made a copy of the SD card before I started, but it is a 512g card and that takes forever.

Is there a way to roll back this update? Should I wait a few days and update again to see if that fixes it? Is there any hope? I spent way too long on this...

I would also like to apologize ahead of time if this has been answered. I looked around but did not see anything.

@Cyborgbob not sure what would be causing a global slow down for you. I have not experienced this after updating recently. Are you running in 4k mode? If so you should reduce the resolution to 1080p mode.

Cyborgbob

I don't think so but I will check that out. Running another update right now to see if that fixes it. But I think you may be on to something there I know after an update sometimes things get set back to defult. I think I changed that setting once.

Cyborgbob

So I adjusted the settings to 1080p as you said, and that helped, however, it is still not where it once was. just seems choppy, and there is still some screen tearing. I also ran another update. Kinda praying that may fix something... It did not...

@Cyborgbob is it just retroarch emulators that seem to be slower? I see that retroarch just recently got updated to version 1.8.8.

Did you update also via rpi-update(not recommended) ?
It's worth removing any overclock and try again.

Cyborgbob

@quicksilver it does seem to be the RetroArch emulators. I tried the PSP standalone, and that one seems to run fine.

@mitu I have never done the rpi-update . What is that? Would removing the overclock and doing the normal update help?

Thanks to the both of you for your help.

It's updating to the latest beta kernel/firmware. You don't need to do that.

Would removing the overclock and doing the normal update help?

Yes, remove the overclock and try again.

@ mitu thanks so much I will give that a try right now. heading to the airport soon so I will not be able to test it until Sunday night or Monday. Thank you for your help. I will let you know if this helps when I get back.

Cyborgbob

So I gave this a try and it did not help. Any ideas on anyting more I can do?

Are you using a 4k TV ? Try forcing an 1080p resolution - use raspi-config to set it.
