lr-beetle-supergrafx is now very laggy.
-
So I updated my Raspberry Pi 3 B retopie the other day and i'm on Retroarch 1.6.7 and I'm on Emulation Station 2.6.0 with 4.2.18 script.
So while I was playing on my Turbo Grafx roms and emulators I had noticed that the roms music and game play was going slow. I had even turned on the FPS counter and I was getting below 60fps. I have had the same settings for it all of the time and had never changed my settings for my TurboGrafx emulators and roms, even with the crt shader.
So I decided to switch to the lr-beetle-pce-fast emulator and noticed that my roms where back to normal with no lag or slowdown.
I did re download the lr-beetle-supergrafx from the binary but that didn't fix it. I can still use my roms, its just that I would like to see if this can get fixed. -
@redbatman So what's the problem? You use lr-beetle-pce-fast for turbografx/pc-engine/cd games and you use lr-beetle-supergrafx for the SIX games it supports.
-
@darksavior Well its just that this has never happened before and makes me worried that if this problem isn't remedied soon, it may lead to further issues down the road.
-
@redbatman we still dont know what your issue is. You talk about a turbografx and a supergrafx emulator which are two completely different systems with two completely different emulators.
-
@redbatman I do get slowdowns in the supergrafx games I tried, though I've never tried them before to judge the speed differences. Again, what is the problem? So you use pce-fast for your games unless its one of the six supergrafx games and they're not great..
-
I have no problem with either core at all. I am not running any shader or any filters. and my resolution is only 720 (fixed..it's a CRT TV) on my Raspberry Pi 3.
Check to make sure that you didn't change something by accident.
-
@akafox Nope didn't change a thing I just updated my Pi was the last thing.
-
@edmaul69 Well For TurboGrafx you can use beetle supergrafx or beetle pce for emulation and for the longest time i was using super.
-
@redbatman gotcha. I only used supergrafx for supergrafx games.
-
That's odd..I mean even my Rasp pi B+ will handle all of them without lag.
EDIT: Let me ask you..when you play daimakai mura (Ghouls and Ghosts) or 1941..does your character seem to move slowly or is whole thing laggy?
Make sure that you are not in 6-button mode as that slowed everything down for me as well. In your op you said something about low frame-rates though..
try clearing your filters..and remember you have to apply changes after you do that so that it takes effect..by this I mean actually using the controller to move the pointer up to "apply changes"and then selecting that..THEN resume your games and see if that helps..or try a lower resolution setting.
beyond that I have no idea.

Same problem here. Retropie updated to last version on a Raspberry 3 B. the bettle supergrafx core is laggy as hell, i cant mantain 60fps. Strange as i never had a problem with these games. I have uninstalled the core and downloaded as source and still the same.
Apparently, they have updated the core in the last update of Retroarch.
Core updates since previous version (1.6.6)
Beetle Supergrafx – add turbo on/off for 2-button controller mode (by retrowertz).I dont know what they have done but the pi doesnt like it
-
Huh...looks like I don't want to update then....
-
@akafox Make a back up of the emulator.
-
@cosmo Also for me the music is also kinda laggy too, like it's trying to keep up but it makes a mess of audio, also sound and special effects are effected too.
Edit: If we could get an administrator to look at this it would be appreciated.
-
lr-beetle-supergrafx is slow and laggy for me as well for SuperGrafx games since the new update.
Roms load fine, just run and sound like crap. Especially SuperGrafx; pretty much unplayable. For PCE/PCECD games, they are playable but the music is choppy af

@redbatman said in lr-beetle-supergrafx is now very laggy.:
Edit: If we could get an administrator to look at this it would be appreciated.
An administrator here on the retropie forum can't do much..that has nothing to do with RetroPie or Emulation Station..it has everything to do with Retroarch..specifically the core itself. So you will get faster results posting a problem report here (and they need to know so they can fix it):
https://github.com/libretro/beetle-supergrafx-libretro
And it looks like this is not the only problem.
-
I updated my supergrax core to test and it appears you are correct. The "old" core does not have this problem you describe as far as I can tell.
So it does appear to be a coding issue. I'm sure they will get it fixed. Keep a hold of your old ones everybody..at least for now.
-
@akafox Can you give me the name of a game to test on it (that illustrates the issue) - I will roll back the code to see where the issue started and do a bug report.

@buzz dai makai mura (supergrafx ghouls and ghosts) is super obvious

Ninja spirit is another one.
