gba,snes seems a lil laggy+sound issues
-
hey bought a pi3 B
2.5canakit plug into a nespi case
snes and gba seem to hav slight slowdown but really the sound is what gives it away just isnt smooth sometimes.
have gba bios. using lr-mgba
pi 3 is oc to 14000
governors set to performance
on the snes side im using lr-snes9x2010
tried superfx at 100mhz
any emulator,driver, or setting that might help sound get smooth?
my psx was the same till i threw a bios at it and still it was iffy audio till i enabled speed hack. not its like butter.
not sure if theres a certain sweetspot that you guys might help with thanks. -
seems the lr-gpsp (gba) works smooth but some odd games dont run
like the classic nes series games but anything that does run looks and sounds great -
@smellyviking A temp or lightning bolt icon might cause the slowdowns. If you messed with the video config or using a 3rd party image can also cause this.

thank god!!!! im having REALLY bad sound issues with ALOT of my snes games,, ive tried every snes emulator its only snes for me... but the audio is very crackly, laggy, stutter i just overclocked it to 1.4 to see if itd fix it and NOPE no luck
-
@smellyviking people keep saying its in my settings but its not.... my settings were fine... NO ONE can figure this out its annoying

Taken from [https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Speed-Issues]
Edit /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg and set:
Use threaded video driver
video_threaded = true
Smoothens picture with bilinear filtering
video_smooth = false
Audio driver backend.
audio_driver = alsathread
Enable rewinding
rewind_enable = false
For me, setting video_threaded to true, fixed a lot of my speed issues. Results may vary though.
-
@scooter1974 All of those settings from the wiki are the default, so either you changed them yourself or using a 3rd party image and those aren't supported here.
-
@darksavior Its not a 3rd party image, for sure. Perhaps I turned off threaded video without thinking, which is entirely possible lol.

thankyou all for the help ill try tweaking some stuff on the snes this weekend. if i figure it out ill report

quoting edale in this oldish thread:"Oh, and it actually takes a 3 GHz CPU to perfectly emulate an SNES, due to architecture differences and timing issues (yes, I know, the SNES was only ike 33 MHz). A Pi 3b only has 1.2 GHz CPU. Most games will run fine, but almost none will run perfectly."
hmm
-
@smellyviking The fact snes9x runs fullspeed with all games for everyone else , that quote doesn't apply to these emulators. You only need a 3ghz+ cpu for bsnes or higan, which are not available for the pi. If a game does run slow, you'll either have to overclock or use an older snes9x....if you have a perfectly working setup which you don't have...

Whoever could solve the problem with sound on SNES emulator PI3B, PI3B+
The solutions described "https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Sound-Issues/" do not work.
Very disappointed in Raspberry.
Sound sometimes slows down and collapses.a few days later .... after reading a lot of unnecessary information
The problem was in throttling.avoid_warnings=2 means don't show the warning squares and don't disable turbo mode on under-voltage condition. We still throttle on over-temperature.
