Hi @barbudreadmon,
I'm not sure if you are the best person to ask this question to, but since you started this thread I'm going to give it a try.
I have been using the Cyclone: enable option and setting frameskip: 1 on FB Neo on Retropie (PiZero), and I surely see a substantial improvement in performance.
As I wrote in my previous message from last year, when I try to load/save a game, emulationstation crashes and it goes back to the game list.
Yesterday I saw that there is a new version of Retropie (Version 4.5.1) available, and in the change-log it's mentioned that it now supports Cyclone for improved performance.
I tried it from a fresh install, but sadly I get the same issues.
Do you have any suggestions that could help me in debugging and hopefully fixing the issue?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
