Reset ES Theme

@mitu Sorry, yes here you go.

Pi v3
Powered by the adapter from the CanaKit
RetroPie v 4.7.1 built from Noobs
USB - Logitech game pad and Dell keyboard

I have no error messages, but are there any configs that would be helpful to share?

mitu

Check how much VRAM you have allocated in EmulationStation and also how much GPU memory you have reserved for the PI3.

@mitu BAH I forgot to reply.
You are on to something because the lag is horrible as if resources are thrashed. I cannot seem to find the commands to get the vRAM and GPU. What are they?

Allocated VRAM is an EmulationStation option. For the GPU memory allocation, check the /boot/config.txt file (see also the docs on Memory Split).

Here is all I see in the /boot/config.txt, but they are remed out.

#gpu_mem_256=128
#gpu_mem_512=256
#gpu_mem_1024=256

I can not navigate in the UI to get to the ES options

I tried to remove the # from the entries but get access denied over scp. From the console, config.txt is empty using the vi.

On another note, I fried one of my Piv3 so got a v4. I read that it handles the gpu differently, but I still have the same exact symptoms with the image running on the new pi.
