      Hello Group,

      Just a little background: I bought a complete kit off eBay (USB OTG, Case, Power Adapter w/onoff switch, and HDMI cable) have a 32GB SD CARD loaded Retropie and roms and everything seems to be working fine. I connected a PS4 Contoller via Bluetooth and also have a Logitech Wireless Gamepad.

      The issue is that sometimes when connected via bluetooth I notice a significant slowdown on the roms. Not much on NES but on the 16-bit systems. I decided to plug the PS4 controller through USB OTG and the slowdown is fixed.

      What could be causing the slowdown? Is the power supply provided (5V/2.0A) not enough? Is it just something to do with the PS4 controller via Bluetooth? I would like to use the bluetooth controller, but it makes playing most games on the 16-bit systems unplayable.
