      I believe it's a Pi 3 B?
      Version 4.6.4 rpi3 running on Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster))
      Built from the image on here recently

      So I've put all my roms onto my pi after installing a new image onto a 128GB SD card, but when I tested this game I discovered it runs slowly, and so possible others roms for the PSX do too. I've tested a few, like R4 Ridge Racer and it seemed to run fast. I want to know if the Pi 3 just can't handle NFSIII for some reason or if others have it running fine and my settings or overlocking aren't right.

      I did a verbose log running the game for ~5 mins. I see "RAM is not directly mapped, performance will suffer" which sounds bad:

        You don't have a PS1 BIOS present, this is most likely the reason. See what files are needed in the Docs.

          @mitu Oh...I see. Do I need to install BIOS for all the other emulators too?

            Not all emulators/systems need a BIOS file (or more). You can look up in the docs for each system individually to see if a BIOS is needed.

              @tripplies Welcome to this forum.

              By the way, please put long outputs like the runcommand.log either in a code block or on a pastebin service like http://paste.ubuntu.com/ or http://pastebin.com/, so we don't have to scroll down your entire quote to read the rest of the thread.

              See https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first for this and other helpful advice.

                Aha, I tried to find an option like that before I posted. And I can't see an edit button so it'll have to stay like that I guess.

                By the way, thanks mitu, the installed BIOS got NFS working beautifully.

                    @simpleethat Nope, only sharing options in there. Maybe I have to hit 5 posts or some arbitrary forum rule.

                    Edit: that did it haha. my fifth post
