Retropie 4 slower?

naddel81

it is not that annoying, but it takes more time to start and close a game compared to 3.x retropie.

will this change anytime soon?
I updated all packages.

@naddel81 Did you read above ?

adding "plymouth.enable=0" had no effect. it still shows this here for almost 5 seconds on every game boot and exit. (now with focus)

3.X was way faster because it did not show this.

it doesn't do that on mine - it must be something else you have changed.

Almost looks like the tty is being switched or something. Please try from a fresh image to rule out a configuration issue.

I was wondering about that, too. because before the update from 3.8 it asked me to press a button to configure/change the emulator.
now on 4.X it does not do that. maybe something went wrong during the update?

I just don't want to lose my games and the scrapped information. how to keep that using a fresh image?

I can only think it's related to the thing mentioned above.

post your /boot/cmdline.txt after the modification just in case (using formatting on the forum or use an external pastebin type site)

I backed up all the samba accessable folders and will try to re-flash a new image and then paste the 4 folders back.

here is my commandline file:

dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline fsck.repair=yes rootwait quiet loglevel=3 consoleblank=0
 plymouth.enable=0

@BuZz said in Retropie 4 slower?:

In case it's related to upstream plymouth changes you can try adding plymouth.enable=0 to the end of /boot/cmdline.txt(on the same line as the other parameters separated with a space) and see if that makes a difference after a reboot.

You need to put it on the same line as I instructed - it's a single line of parameters

Also - please use formatting when posting configs as requested or an external pastebin site if you are unfamiliar with markdown syntax. I have asked you to format posts before in other discussions - please read http://commonmark.org/help/

will remove the additional "ENTER" and put it into a single line. hopefully it will remove the unnecessary 5s boot delay.
will report back in 10 minutes.

Thanks! It fixed the issue.
But somehow my SNES/NES and Master System scrapes are gone.... no images, not text.

game boy + gba is still there... very strange!
