@Janew i went to my mother's house, and she has three tvs over there. I tried her newest one -purchased last yr- and it lagged. I tried her 2 other tvs, both of which are 6 yrs old and both worked perfectly-one a Vizio, the other an Element. i think i had read somewhere that the newer tvs and their higher resolutions (2160p, 4k) present issues, while older crt tvs and 720p, 1028p are working great .

@mitu Thanks, that appears to have worked! Now the fun of getting SM64 to run smoothly. Thanks!

@Mikeymac02 All I did in my cabinet was run the power coming in through a toggle switch first then to a outlet inside the cabinet. Then I just plugged in a good surge protector to my switched outlet to power everything. To turn on just flip the toggle switch and it boots up. To turn off, properly shutdown retropie from the menu then flip the toggle switch to kill everything else.

@duiz Here is my idea for fixing your resolution problem. Firstly, try this. Change this: #disable_overscan=1 To this: disable_overscan=1 Reset and see if that fixes it. If that doesn't work change this : #framebuffer_width=1280 #framebuffer_height=720 To this : framebuffer_width=1920 framebuffer_height=1080 Make sure to remove the # before those lines. If it doesn't work be sure to put it back the way it was. Hopefully one of those ideas helps.

All is good. I couldn't recreate the issue. After several attempts.

@quicksilver I ended up installing a fresh image and it worked thanks for the replies or I’d still be stuck

@Guto-Du it's a possibility it's defective. Try over volting the pi (without over clocking) to see if it's more stable. If it is then your pi isn't stable at factory settings and should be sent back for replacement. I have seen multiple reports of pi zero's not stable at factory clock speeds. I think the quality control on the pi zero might be slightly less than other models. Probably because it's a $5 computer.

@malixx Good to hear you figured it out!

Hi! I'm having the same problem. Did you solved that?
