@meleu said in RetroArch XMB performance on Raspberry Pi 1/2/Zero:

RetroArch 1.6.4 have been just released and I noticed one line in the annoucement that reminded me this thread:

GUI: You can turn on/off ‘Horizontal Animation’ now for the XMB menu. Turning animations off can result in a performance boost.

Good news, huh? :)

Yes. I still use and prefer the xmb driver, but I'm less inclined to think it's suitable as a default due to the fact that it breaks RetroArch if you're using the dispmanx driver. I have no use for dispmanx, but that would be a headache for anybody that does.
