      Seen these suggested in a few places, such as http://libretro.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5428&page=6

      BFS: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=101947

      Realtime Kernel: http://www.frank-durr.de/?p=203

      Could something like these be applied to the Raspian kernel used in the Retropie image to improve latency/performance? I confess I don't know anything about these sort of kernel changes and what ramifications (positive and negative) they have to our sort of use-case, but perhaps someone does :)

        It's based off an old kernel and no update with the new kernel

        RPi B & RPi 3B OC (Now Raspberry pi 4b 8gb)
        Retropie (Latest Stable)
        PiBox with Wind Tunnel Cooling System

              I hope this gets implemented - controller lag is my number one annoyance.
