EmulationStation Runs too fast after update
-
@s_pie Weird... can't find anything on this. I suggest editing your subject line of this topic to ... EmulationStation Runs too fast after update... to get the attention of admins.
-
@muehltime All right. Thanks anyway. I have edited the subject line now.
Do you think a "basic install" could reset it all?
-
@s_pie go for it
-
@muehltime and restart, of course
-
@s_pie Check your VRAM limit in the ES menu, it should be at 100 I believe.
-
@thewinterdojer Thanks for you reply.
I am a bit (a lot) of a newbie in this area, could you please explain where to find the VRAM? And what it should be set to :)
-
@s_pie In the EmulationStation Selection Screen... press start... then Other Settings.... it's the first option
-
@thewinterdojer Found it! It's at a 100Mb as you said.
-
@s_pie Okay, well you can rule that out as an issue then. Unfortunately, I don't know what else would be causing that behavior. I would go with a clean install as well if it's not too much trouble.
-
@thewinterdojer All right.
So i should do a basic install from the retropie setup. Would that do the trick and write over the currently installed ES?
And will it remove all my roms? -
@s_pie said in EmulationStation Runs too fast after update:

And will it remove all my roms?Yes you can try to uninstall then reinstall EmulationStation from the retropie_setup script. It should not affect your roms, savestates, and scrapped description/picture, etc.

Need as much information as your set-up as possible please so we can reproduce it (including es configs as detailed in my reply on the issue tracker)
-
Just to confirm, if you go to "Other Settings", disable "Power Savings" and restart ES, does it change anything?
-
@aryetis Thanks for your reply :)
All right. I'll start by removing ES from the core-packages, and then install it from binary afterwards. Am i correct ?

@buzz My setup is as follow:
- RP 3
- Retropie 4.2
- EmulationStation v.2.5.1RP
- USB wireless Keyboard (with dongle)
- PS3 Controller
Do you need anything else? :)
-
@s_pie
/opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es_settings.cfg
also the output of
uname -a
-
@pjft I'll do my best. But please bear in my mind that this is completely new to me :)
The power saving was enabled, and i could by pure luck get it disabled. It is very difficult for me to hit the buttons because of the speed of the scrolling.
-
I am currently rebuilding the premade binaries to v2.4.1 again - source install will still install the latest.
-
@buzz All right.. This is a shot in the dark, but is this the info you need?
