      So we all know the dangers of shortening the lifespan of a RPi with an Overclock so I decided to make this simple, short and easy tutorial
      Step 1. Enter a rom (any will do just do it for the emulator you want to increase performance on)
      Step 2. Open the Runcommand menu
      Step 3. Scroll down to resolution
      Step 4. Pick a lower resolution (480P works good for me on some games)
      Step 5. Test the game if it is too laggy go back to step 1

        @Kaydenmario8 Depending on the emulator, some use 480p by default and you can't change it I think. There are two different resolution, one for render and one for output.
