@lostless Yep, the wireless router, PS5, pi, Nintendo Switch and smart TV are all within a couple meters of each other in the living room. Like I said, I didn't experience any issues using the pi upstairs. Thanks for your help here, I never would have considered that to be the issue.

I might just have to go wired when using the pi in the living room as I don't have an option to move the wireless router.

@RAS123 said in A pi builder:

But I’m willing to pay for a build. Can you help

We cannot:

The image we provide is Raspbian Lite with RetroPie pre-installed. Much of the software included in the RetroPie image have non-commercial licences. Because of this selling a pre-installed RetroPie image is not legal

We can help you with the software side of things, though. Start here:

@deltagemini That looks fantastic!

@dankcushions cause they delete it. They said it's not their business and not care about, send me back ask here - very friendly $-)

But, anyway it does not have any matter. I use overclocking ps1 cpu in options and play NFS3 at 60 frames at all stages ( when it goes at 30-40 by default).
But couldn't understood how it work - maybe it's turning on some frameskip like?

@nyvram from the distance: If your room audio has some API reachable from the RetroPie you may consider the scripting function for specific events (since ES v2.9.2). https://retropie.org.uk/docs/EmulationStation/#scripting

The event game-start passes two parameters to every script in the folder ~/.emulationstations/srcipts/game-start/: ROM and basename (easiest is to echo them in a test script to determine what they represent exactly.)

Or put your actions for the room audio in runcommand-onstart/-onend.
