Neon Enhanced plugin for PSX

dre3ed

So I removed the overclock, it plays but then I can hear the sound starting to struggle and slow downs in the games. I will try a cpu overclock now. I'm running out of ideas.

dre3ed

just for info my config.txt looks like this by default without me doing anything. Anybody see anything wrong ?

For more options and information see

http://rpf.io/configtxtreadme

Some settings may impact device functionality. See link above for details

uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default "safe" mode

#hdmi_safe=1

uncomment this if your display has a black border of unused pixels visible

and your display can output without overscan

disable_overscan=1

uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console

goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border

#overscan_left=16
#overscan_right=16
#overscan_top=16
#overscan_bottom=16

uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display's size minus

overscan.

#framebuffer_width=1280
#framebuffer_height=720

uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output

#hdmi_force_hotplug=1

uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)

#hdmi_group=1
#hdmi_mode=1

uncomment to force a HDMI mode rather than DVI. This can make audio work in

DMT (computer monitor) modes

#hdmi_drive=2

uncomment to increase signal to HDMI, if you have interference, blanking, or

no display

#config_hdmi_boost=4

uncomment for composite PAL

#sdtv_mode=2

#uncomment to overclock the arm. 700 MHz is the default.
#arm_freq=800

Uncomment some or all of these to enable the optional hardware interfaces

#dtparam=i2c_arm=on
#dtparam=i2s=on
#dtparam=spi=on

Uncomment this to enable the lirc-rpi module

#dtoverlay=lirc-rpi

Additional overlays and parameters are documented /boot/overlays/README

Enable audio (loads snd_bcm2835)

dtparam=audio=on
gpu_mem_256=128
gpu_mem_512=256
gpu_mem_1024=256
overscan_scale=1
dtparam=i2c_arm=1

@dre3ed please put configs in a code block or use external pastebin site. Click compose button for help in editor.

dre3ed

sorry!
I will in futur do that, my bad!

Ok so I tried overclocking to 1300mghz, a bit faster game play but crash after a bit temps are still 44.., at 1372mghz overclock pretty good game play but still some slow downs then crash

@dre3ed Please can you edit your post and do it, so it's readable.

Have you made sure your lr-pcsx-rearmed is up to date? Please can you post your complete retroarch-core-options.cfg and /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg file.

Please disable all overclocking for testing/debugging of any emulator issues.

@dre3ed Also why is this discussion happening here, when you have another topic open for it ? https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/9273/retropie-in-game-freezing

ok so basically i put the resolution to CEA-34 - 1920x1080 @ 30hz 16.9 clock: 74mhz progressive and it didnt freeze anymore. I can notice thought that the screen isnt just kinda as fast as 60hz or at least its not as good. What would be the optimal or max resolution ?

dre3ed

apologise again, as I am new to the hole forum world I was not sure where to write, I just found this article online.

dankcushions

@dre3ed the default.

the neon enhancement can easily cause minor slowdowns regardless of overclock. without a video of what you get it might just be normal.

dre3ed

how does the code block work ? i click compose it says this forum is powered by ?

dre3ed

@dankcushions ok thank you, i guess I might have to remove it then.
Sorry about the code block thing, i dont know how to do it.

thank you all for your help and sorry for not respecting the rules.

dre3ed

BUT, to all those who have had the same problém as me, I am pretty sure I worked out the problem now. It's the resolution.

I am now running with neon enhancements but I changed the default resolution to 640x480 at 60hz no more slow downs no more freezing no more crashing. I will keep trying other resolutions until i find the max.

So there we go.

for code blocks put three backticks ``` above and below the block

dre3ed

Also, now i have my settings working and no freezing thanks to the new resolution,
If I take the # off #disable_overscan=1 then its back to freezing and crashing,
It would have been nice to be able to have the Retropie menu full screen and also in the game it looks much better,

dre3ed

The screen on my 42 inch is tiny thought :-/ its like a little square box lol

dre3ed

@dre3ed with the modern TV, I used the tv remote and did fit to picture and it made the screen considerably bigger.

@Twitch0815 Is this setting the same as enabling "Enhanced Resolution (Slow)" in the Retroarch GUI? (And similarly, is the "no_main" option the same thing as "Enhanced Resolution Speed Hack")?
