      @mitu thanks again for all your help.

      do you think you can explain a little more what I need to do. I don't know how to do all the things that you just explained.

        @ken-tipton not sure I understand - you've basically done the same thing a few posts back. Are you a different user than the original poster ?

          @mitu same user just confused I guess.

          I should rename the retroarch.cfg file I get that. then you said to re-install the retroarch. that is the part I am not sure how to do.

            @ken-tipton Just like you re-installed lr-mame2003/lr-fbneo - use the RetroPie-Setup, retroarch is one of the core packages.

              @mitu I see....I didn't do that last time I just renamed the cfg file and launched a mame2003 game and everything worked. I will download the emulators and retrorarch now

                You shouldn't have done that - this is probably the reason you're experiencing problems, because starting the emulator without the RetroPie's config generated the RetroArch's defaults again.

                    I'm not sure that will help. You should try again the 1st advice. Once RetroArch is finished installing, rename the /opt/retropie/configs/arcade/retroarch.cfg file and re-install one of the arcade emulators (lr-mame2003) before starting a game.

                          Lagging problem fixed. I did as above but no change. I looked around in the retrorarch menu of the game. (Hot Key+X)

                          Settings-Video options. There was a setting for Vertical Refresh, and default was 60hz. It said that would be ignored unless video Threading was on. I turned on Threading and it fixed the lagging issue with no other ill effects thus far.

                          MITU you were a very big help on this and I really appreciate the time you spent to help me. Thank You
