Sega model 3 #segamodel3

Folly

I can't directly see what wrong.
It looks like the same log from earlier.
I would expect to see some -res parts for the resolution but I don't see that.

Do you use a pi4 ?
Is the binary of supermodel in this directory : /opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel-mechafatnick ?

mechafatnick

@folly @phialek

If the binary is there, could it be a permission issue? is it worth running:

chmod -R 755 /opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel-mechafatnick

just to be on the safe side?

Folly

@mechafatnick

Good suggesting.

I am confident it should run one way or another.

@phialek

After you did the permission part.
Can you then check if you can run the binary manually ?

cd  /opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel-mechafatnick
./supermodel

You should then get the help/usage output of the emulator and then we know the binary is working.

phialek

thanks for all the help

the bin is not here:
/opt/retropie/emulators/

how do i get it there? i thought the script would do it on its own.

and yes im using a pi4

phialek

its in the supplementary folder. i will change its location now.

after changing the location daytona 2 is running. but super slow about 20% of original speed. is there a way to make it faster? the audio works great though.

Folly

@phialek

In what directory, of the RetroPie-Setup, did you paste the supermodel-mechafatnick.sh module-script ?
I think you have accidentally pasted it in the wrong supplementary directory, am I correct ?
Before installation you have to paste it in :
/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/emulators .

For increasing speed you can try to select a low resolution for the emulator in the retropie-startup menu (in the same menu where you select the launch option).
The resolution selected there should match the selected launch option.
But you have to take it for granted, it will always be a bit slower than a good x86/x86-64 computer.

mechafatnick

@folly It shouldn't be that slow though :)

I suggest keeping at the native res and stretching it. The super-duper long course causes stutters and slowdowns, but the rest should run reasonably nippily

phialek

@folly

Yes i have plaved it under supplementary, because before i have installed yabasanshiro and i had to place the script under supplementary. I thought that was the normal way (im a nooby).

What exactly do you mean with launch resolution? The resolution of the supermodel emulator? I had that at the lowest all the time. (396 pixel i think)

Now I've changed the global resolution of retropie to 480. At least the game is now full screen but still slow as hell. Every daytona 2 game seconds lasts 5 real seconds. I don't think you have the same low performance.

I have just tried scud racer. It doesn't start. The in game bios says no network and the game doesn't launch.

Btw Daytona 2 steering is really great with an arcade sticks.

Folly

@phialek

Indeed it works quite smooth on my end.

I meant the "video mode" (aka "launch resolution").
But it seems you already discovered that.

For scud you have to go into the test-menu with key 6.
With key 5 you can go to options and with key 6 you can select an option.
Go to -> "game assignments" -> "link id" -> "single" (not master)
Go to "exit" for exiting the test menu.
Now scud will work in single mode.

For speeding things up you should ask @mechafatnick, because he has more experience with that part, I think.

mechafatnick

@phialek can you post your run command log?

Right now im reinstalling it. Maybe because of the wrong folder in the beginning something's got messed up.

Reinstalling from the right folder didnt help. Still slow like before.

Folly

@phialek

I think that your video-mode-resolution is much too high, as seen from the log.
You should try a video mode with a lower resolution.
Personally I think that should improve the speed.

phialek

@folly

As said before im using the lowest resolution from supermodel3

I've also tried to put the monitor into 480p mode via raspiconfig. Didn't help.

@phialek

Your normal resolution is still on "Set mode 1920x1080@60Hz" on default.

You have to set something else here :

@4retropietft

Thank you

Ive tried every resolution there now. its slow like before. 800x600, 720x480, 640x480

They don't make a difference. It didn't speed up at all.

here is the log of 800x600 in video and launch mode, that was even slower than the 384 launch i had before

Well overall we made some progress here.
Too bad the resolution changes didn't help to speed things up.

It seems our PI's run it faster that yours.
Perhaps we can find a solution later.
Not sure what's the problem here.
