EmulationStation Runs too fast after update

pjft

@s_pie We have people who complain things are too slow, others that things are too fast...

We can't please everyone :P

Just joking, of course.

We'll get to the bottom of this.

Thanks for your patience.

@BuZz - let me know if you want me to put up a build for 2.4.1 on GitHub or something in the interim.

@pjft I'm the one thanking for the help, i'm just sitting in little Denmark and try to figure this out :)

It's not easy to please everyone, but you are doing af damn fine job !

okay, i rebooted again and ........... it works ?! The menu seems to be back to normal - no idea why ?

So what now ?

pjft

@s_pie Ok.

So that's important.

The "ScreenSaverTime" set to zero was suspicious, especially as in the new code for Power Savings we are doing something with that value.

Thank you.

If you want to be a bit more of a tester, try going to the menu, and change screensaver time to 0 seconds, exit the menu, and see if it fails again. Then set it back to 60000 - or anything more to the right. See if it works.

Thanks!

@pjft When set back to 0, it acts up really fast again. When changed to 80000, it becomes normal.

So it's definitely something with that setting!

Thank you for testing and confirming - at least one cause of it.

Just for the sake of having the right settings, edit it in the menu, as 80000 is like 1min 20 seconds, and I'm not sure it's a value it recognizes :) Set it to 1 min or so.

Thanks!

@pjft Okay, it's done!

Thank you for the help. Let me know if i should do anything else :)

@s_pie Just have fun :)
