      @lensdrifter
      Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

      Anyways:
      Which emulators are you using to emulate "arcade-classics"?
      Which roms/"arcade-classics" you tested it with?
      Which 8bitdo controller do you use?

      @voodoorida said in STE emulation & swapping roms to another sd card:

      I have now bought a 32gb SD card & downloaded a large (28gb) image with thousands of games. It has installed correctly.

      Third party images aren't supported here. Especially those loaded with illegal material. (A) it's supporting piracy, (2) There's just too many variables to troubleshoot and (D) it goes against ape law. If you reinstall a fresh image from the RetroPie website, we'll be happy to help you troubleshoot any issues you may have.

      @jdrassa This method seems to work great if the UI modes are not in use but if it's set into Kiosk mode the es_settings.cfg reverts to an unmodified state after reboot. Does enabling the Kiosk mode overwrite the es_settings.cfg file? If so can I modify the Kiosk mode to include the splash screen setting?

      @denisuu That's on an RPi 2 and I'm assuming that going to an RPi 3 would be an increase, but not a ton of difference. I've been curious about AOE vanilla though.

      Thoughts on resources running it on Raspbian vs Retropie?

      @zoop a few thoughts:

      https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/7739/video-splash-screen-problems

      I haven't tried from a usb but hopefully those posts will give you something to play with. interesting the overscan thing fixed it. I guess I've always had it disabled so I never noticed.

      If its working for you then I don't see why there is any problem with your implementation.

      Thanks for the reply. The first link you provided offered a decent solution. It seems the trouble is in randomizing from the USB. When running a single video it has never failed, but it just wouldn't work with the randomizer.

      That said, following the advice in the article I moved my videos to the /opt/retropie/supplementary/splashscreen/ folder and deleted the default splashscreens I don't want and everything seems to be in order.

      On usb the folder is named splashscreens. I will eliminate the plural as a test but doubt that is the issue because the folder is displayed as a selection and appears correct. The good news is I don't plan on changing the splashscreens too frequently so this solution will work for now.

      Thanks again! I hope this thread helps someone else.

      ok i finally uploaded everything and made a readme on github. Everything works now, when mouse mode is active the keys from your buttons are not registered anymore and you can switch between mouse mode and your normal input method. you specify and remap existing keys of your encoder specifically for use in mouse mode (you tell it if i press this button which is key CTRL for example then send key F5 instead). You can specify 6 keys like this.

      i did not find a game yet that did not work with this version, my readme needs work though but it's a rather long readme for something simple to setup

      To anyone with the same issue in the future: the solution is to change emulator altogether.

      The lr-xxxxxxxx ones are too intermingled with retroarch and all that boogus to let you change the language easily (or at all.)

      Go to the retropie setup, download a different package and go from there.

      @SpudsMcToole

      I can vouch for everyone who has suggested ruling out the TV as the issue. I only started out with the RPi/Retropie about 6 months ago. I started off using my LG 42" Plasma screen (bought in 2006) 720p. I definitely noticed lag like you describe (Mario slightly late jumping, etc.). It was a little disappointing, but I started reading and sure enough saw the suggestions similar to those above. My TV does not have a game mode.

      Took my RPi to my brother's Samsung 50" TV and saw immediate improvement (even without game mode turned on). I can't be sure game mode helped in addition but I assume it was probably slightly better. Regardless, the TV made all the difference and it plays very well on his TV.

      Now, I have the RPi connected to a 24" Samsung PC monitor that also works very well. In fact, nearly every TV/monitor I've tried was better than my TV.

      In addition to the other suggestions above, I definitely agree you should try a couple different screens if you have access.

      I'm also curious (now that I better understand the system) whether setting my RPi to 720p as default would've helped in the lag department.
