      Hi,

      This is a bit silly :/ But i've turned on showing the frame rate overlay in pink, in the Retropie UI.

      I can't for the life of me remember of find where to turn it off?

      Any ideas?

      Thanks!

        Hi,

        From within the RetroArch GUI for a specific emulator:
        Main Menu > Settings > Video > Display Frame Rate (switch ON or OFF)

        You should be able to do this for all RetroArch / Libretro emulators in a similar manner:

        • From Emulation Station, locate the RetroPie screen
        • Select the 'RetroArch' option
        • This should launch the RetroArch GUI, but with general / global settings rather than per emulator.

        Note: a note for the RetroArch entry in the RetroPie menu states
        'Changes will not be saved unless you have enabled writing to the retroarch.cfg file'.

        I believe that you can do this via an entry in the RetroArch menu itself:

        Main Menu > Settings > Configuration > Save Configuration on Exit (set to ON)

        There's a discussion regarding this on the forum here

          if by 'retropie UI' you mean emulationstation:
          press start for the menu: UI settings > show framerate > off

            @dankcushions [edit] - seems I misread the original post, and though it was talking about the RetroArch UI. The mention of pink text did strike me as odd, but I assumed the poster had customised the colours.

            The RetroArch UI Framerate option displays the values in a manner that is far less intrusive!

              @RetroResolution the emulation station framerate display is only active within emulationstation itself.

                    @ianm1973 hi,
                    I don't know why your mame ROMs would be running too fast, but, assuming you are using a libretrto mame core, you can check the actual frame rate from within the rgui menu (please see above for details on accessing the frame-rate option).
