      Hi all,

      New to the forum. I've just put together my first retropie set up (with v4.4 on a raspberry 3 B+) and the games are running smoothly but I am experiencing a bit of lag when using the menus to select a game. I can be scrolling through and all of a sudden it will just hang for about 5 seconds and then it will allow me to move on. Could this be an SD card issue? Also I have scraped images and descriptions for each of my games but I restarted my pi and a few of the images are now showing as either blank or half of the image is solid grey and not displaying properly. Just wondering if anyone has had these issues before? Like I said the games run fine it's just these other issues that I need to sort. Thanks.

        I'm having the same hiccups since updating to 4.4 (4.3.17 practically) but it could be a "nocebo" effect due to the hefty amount (45GB) of titles, box art and videos (unrelated to the RCA topic I made previously).

        I'm pretty sure though that things were slightly faster before (3B with 4.3 instead of 3B+ with 4.4) and that "hang for 5 seconds" thing I'm too having didn't happen until 4.3.16/17. To put it in a sentence, navigation feels a bit more laggy and stiff than before.

        However, I'm not having the second part of adm166's problem with images showing grey, etc which sounds like a VRAM issue.
