@rmbell34 I also use the 8BitDo SN30 Pro+. The problem with the Switch mode is, rumble/vibration/haptic feedback doesn’t work (for games that support this feature). This only works in Windows (X-Input) mode. For this mode to function properly, you need to install/update the xpadneo driver. This should fix the long loading times and can be done through the RetroPie-Setup script. However, in Windows mode the star and home buttons are not supported.

Hi,

After looking at the runcommand log, I didn't see anything weird, especially since the slowness tended to before runcommand had started.

I reinstalled Alexander Shalin's rclone script for cloud syncs and the problem is sorted.

Thanks for being there ready to help 😀

@heaven76 said in Very slow loading times on lr-flycast:

After that i tried using the quirks workaround as suggested by @mitu

What filesystem are you using on your SSD? ext4 or NTFS?
NTFS is no good.

@masinad said in 8bitdo bluetooth controller and ROMs slowly loading:

Or where to look for information?

Seems like this issue. Try pairing the controller in Switch/Android mode instead of Xinput mode.

Please add more info about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@quicksilver Brilliant! This worked for me as well.

@mitu Yes this is a quick hack for people running ROMs from NAS. Specifically, for accessing via SMB shares. stat() has no speed problem with local ROM collection at all. If we look at it further, may be there's a better solution.

@IowaBrewer I know its a bit late but i had these issues with my old pi2 it was the cheap nasty usb cable i was using. I bought a decent one and my power supply's worked well. The same thing happens with the dirt cheap hdmi cables as well sometimes.

@mitu switching the controller to the switch mode, which I didn't realize would even pair, fixed the loading issue. Crazy!
It does introduce some input lag but still very usable.

Thanks so much!

@Jiryn It could be that those cards are not compatible with the pi3, or they could be bad. Stick them back in your pc and run a check disk on them.

Here is a list of compatible sd cards https://elinux.org/RPi_SD_cards

Your cards do not show up there but a 256 Samsung EVO PLUS is listed as compatible.

If you want more space you will likely need to consider using a usb mounted hdd or thumb drive.
