All ROMs running in slow-mo

FattySparks

Hey everyone!

I have just installed the latest version of RetroPie (4.3.11) on an old computer running Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit. I just put a new SSD in the computer and freshly installed everything tonight. Every game that I try to play is running in slow motion (both video and sound).

Here are some PC specs:
Processor: AMD Phenom 9100e Quad-Core Processor 1.8 GHz
Graphics: AMD RS780 (Radeon 3200 On-board Graphics card)
RAM: 4 GB DDR2 PC2-6400
Hard Drive: 120 GB SSD

I've tried enabling/disabling the following settings in RetroArch as recommended in other posts that I've found:
Threaded Video
Vertical Sync (VSync)
Hard GPU Sync

None of it has helped. I know the PC is old, but I would think that it should be better than an RPi.

Is it my PC, or am I missing something?

Sounds like a slow video driver problem. Are you using the default driver (amdgpu) or the AMD (fglrx) driver ?

Make sure you’re not running European PAL ROMs.

I've tried to install the AMD driver but it gives me the following error:

One or more tools required for installation cannot be found on the system. Install the required tools before installing the fglrx driver. Optionially, run the installer with --force option to install without the tools. Forcing install will disable AMD hardware acceleration and may make your system unstable. Not recommended. See /usr/shar/ati/fglrx-install.log for more details.

Here's the log:

Check if system has the tools required for installation. fglrx installation requires that the system have kernel headers. /lib/modules/4.13.0-32-generic/build/include/linux/version.h cannot be found on this system. One or more tools required for installation cannot be found on the system. Install the required tools before installing the fglrx driver. Optionally, run the installer with --force option to install without the tools. Forcing install will disable AMD hardware acceleration and may make your system unstable. Not recommended.
