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. -
Do you have it running smooth just like me ?
-
actually im happy to see you guys working so hard for all of us. thank you.

For supermodel in Pi 4 2gb, i dont touch that option still, some games run fast like lemans, sega rally 2, daytona, and some games like harley davidson are not playable yet. For stretch thd image you can add -fullscreen -wide-screen -wide-bg before %ROM% in emulators.cfg, you can edit. Just press Start, Quit, Quit emulationstation, the write with a keyboard:
sudo nano /opt/retropie/configs/supermodel/emulators.cfgChanges one or the 3 options from this:
Supermodel-mechafatnick-496x384 = "XINIT:pushd /opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel-mechafatnick;./supermodel -res=496,384 %ROM%"To this:
Supermodel-mechafatnick-496x384 = "XINIT:pushd /opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel-mechafatnick;./supermodel -res=496,384 -fullscreen -wide-screen -wide-bg %ROM%"I just put one like example, you can see the other in the tutorial i comment a few comments above.
Save the file with Ctrl+o (vowel o) then Enter and finally Ctrl+x to exit from nano editor.
Then type reboot for reload with the new changes, or just type emulationstation for start the interface.
Sorry for my English. -
I don't have these errors as you :
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default xrandr: cannot find mode 800x600Perhaps these errors can be an indication of the problem.
Not sure though, I have to think about that. -
Thats what im thinking too. But i have no idea how to solve that.
I think also this maybe a problem:
modprobe: FATAL: Module g2d_23 not found in directory /lib/modules/5.10.52-v7l+

Thank you so much
If i get this supermodel running i would like fullscreen but without streching, so i guess -fullscreen would be enough, right?
-
@folly yes, but my compilation only works in Retropie compiled inside pi os.
When i flash retropie in a pendrive , found problems! Then today i found this post and your script plus adding a folder "supermodel" to art. , and stretch the image without sacrifice performance, all can do the same with -res=x,y but if someone have a 1080p or 4k tv, they will shout that the emulator doesnt work, when actually works really fine. But respecting the mechafatnick stock resolution. I made 20 videos gameplay with software recording. And the games run better than those records 😋. -
Well, @4RetroPieTFT does not touch the resolutions and still runs games ok (well the ok-ish games).
What is your experience with the other games he mentioned ?
Do they also run slow ? -
Ive just tried scud racer and thanks to your great help i could run the game. I mean it's slow like daytona.... Every 0.100 second is taking a real second. Haha
Ive still not tried other games.

Nope, -fullscreen only let that a window of 496 by 384 goes to windowless (i hope you can understand me 😋 ) . The game see like a giant portrait with a big and wide framework around.
Like this:
-
In raspi-config you can set the gpu memory ?
What is that setting ?
Mine uses 64GB -

Do the also run slow ?I try all and fix someone and re update fixed to archive org. Emergency Call Ambulance (Menu works smooth but when came the game go so sloooooowly) Harley Davidson the same problem. Starwars cant play, dont know which test mode menu have to deactivate for start the game 😋, scud race works 1 ok the other laggy, for jump the net error just enter test mode with 6, navigate to game assigments with 6 and change id link from master to single, exit. Enjoy, maybe now i set keys for save and load can jump that 🤔😋. Virtua fighter are playable, l.a machines need to configure mouse to turn around, in your supermodel.ini the mouse dont fire, in the version compiled in pi os yes(but not move) , skichimp works good, magical too, jurasic park perfect and work the mouse 🤷♂️, battle of the edge punch and kick fine , lemans 24 very cool, fighting vipers ok, dirt devils too after fix it, get bass i cant fishing nothing but works, spikeout 1 work the other laggy a lot, ocean hunter kill sharks fine, virtual on have problem graphic but when came start works great, v fighter and v striker totally playable.
You rocks guys, hope soon, retropie let introduce the emulator 🙏🙏🙏 -

Sorry for my English.In the Folly compilation that works! You cant add -fullscreen -wide-screen -wide-bg options, dont know why 🤷♂️ in retropie inside pi os yes!!! With the same compilation 🤷♂️

@4RetroPieTFT Excellent! I'm glad you're getting use out of it. It might be worth trying a different version of S Wars because i just remember going straight into the game. Maybe one that needs an nvram @Folly! Sorry - I play my light gun games with an analogue stick so i didn't even think of the mouse controls :)
@phialek is your Pi4 stock overclocked? (mine is lightly OC'ed) It sounds to me like maybe Supermodel is rendering in a higher resolution than it should. 496 x 384 was the Model 3's native res, so if you're RENDERING in 800 x 600 rather than just stretching to fill the space I'd expect you to see the level of slow down it sounds like you're experiencing.
