      @fernaretro yes, please do.

      I have 44 systems running well over 3500 games across them... all on a Pi3b+ standard settings, no overclocking. I get pretty good results until the Amiga 1200/IBM PC/Atari St/Apple IIgs era of games. Then it's a little touch-and-go with the performance. I don't run any N64 and very few PS1 games. No PSP games at all.

      I'm thinking it's time to move up to a Pi4, but I'm waiting till the next revision. From what I've read, it will be returning back to a standard HDMI slot which is what I want.

      Good luck.

      @romhackfanatic Yeah bangai-o stuttering is usually a lack of bios. You just need to download the dc bios, create a dc folder in retropie's bios folder, and then put dc_boot and dc_flash inside it.

      @gordonfreemanjr said in Amiberry 3.3 laggy:

      I’m having the same issue with Amiberry: slow performance, choppy sound. I followed your advice regarding the resolution, but it didn’t work

      Open a separate topic and add your system info, it doesn't seem to be the same issue.

      @tuomaspap Sorry for the delay, I never expected a reply. I was able to get it through the wayback machine. I've gone ahead and found a link on github for the pi4, hope it works!

      Actually, it did work but instead of adding these lines I uncommented the same in the config file and just changed the values. Thank you very much for you fast and adequate response.

      Use the default retroarch.cfg - leave aside all the hard sync settings (I don't think they're relevant for the Pi's GPU) and the audio settings. Also, a GPU mem of 256 is more than enough for most emulators, so I don't see any point in upping it to 512.

      Solid One

      Try gpsp's non-retroarch version. With this version, you'll probably have less lag on GBA games, since it consumes less resources than the default retroarch version.

      I've tested this version on a Raspberry Pi 1 B+, and I remember playing some GBA games without lag. It was on 2015, and back then, if my memory serves, there was no lr-gpsp yet.

      I don't know if it'll work on your Pi Zero, but assuming Pi Zero and Pi 1 has approximately the same hardware, there's the chance that it can work.

      @washburngopro

      That might be run-ahead instances. I think the setting is found under "latency".
      Could set it to zero, I never use it but it is okay with some Nintendo games.

      The bios is good, you should keep it. Rarely (Arc the Lad Monster Tournament) do I ever have to use no bios.

      If your pi doesn't have any heatsink, airflow, cooling fan, radiator. It will overheat and the SoC/CPU will throttle undermining performance in some games. While it is possible to underclock and increase the soft/temp limit to get adequate performance for PSX, good ventilation is still needed when playing 4+ hours.

      thelostsoul

      @lesk Deopending on the emulator and version I think, as it is a relative recent feature. You may need to update RetroPie. There are entries in the emulator menu for this feature: SETTINGS > LATENCY. I looked up in Snes9x 1.56.2, Nestopia 1.50-WIP and MAME 2003 (0.78).
      The Raspberry Pi 3 is too weak and it would be extremly slow and painful (as far as I know). Which emulator and version do you want use this for? Try the "lr-" versions.
