RetroPie 4.4 - Stability / Controller issues
-
Great fan of RetroPie ! Have been following the project for years already.
I've done a fresh install of 4.4 on my RP3, ran the update script and started to configure the controllers (XBOX 360 Wireless) and get copied some ROMS.
I had to enable XboxDRV to get the controllers to work properly (which is I know issue apparently), but the games I tried stutter and freeze sometimes. (video freezes, audio continues).
Now, it is possible that 4.4 is still somewhat unstable ? (of shouldn't I have run the update script ? )

@tgilly If you'd like to diagnose the problem, then you'd have to provide the necessary info. No, I don't think 4.4 is unstable, but your problems look like a power supply problem, the system throttling itself down automatically, or more related to the fact that your ROM folder is mounted over the network.
Check if your power supply is right up to the specs and then try running the ROMs from the sd card for a test to see if you get the same symptoms.
