      @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.

        Perhaps we have to make fresh thread.
        So we we have control over the first post with :

        • an install tutorial
        • a summarize of discoveries
        • a game compatibility list (so we can work on improving games one by one)

        etc

            Ok lets do that.

            I am going to think about this idea for a while.
            When I am ready I will inform you.

            Btw.
            I restored the old lines in the latest version for compatibility.
            I left the auto resolution part in as a TEST line for later testing.

              My pi is overclocked but i have tried it without the overclock as well. It was even slower.

              800x600 was just a test out of desperation. At 384 with the lowest resolution of 480p with and without overclock its running at less than 20% speed.

              By the way i have never streched the picture. So I'm looking at a tiny window which runs slow :) 😃

                @mechafatnick thanks i will search in data sites for the correct rom. I share a gameplay in a group and one without see it or read the title, just say "is not supported in raspberry pi" 🤦‍♂️🤣🤣🤣 . So today, i discovered that i have a PC with the form of a pi 4b and with the exact form and size, peripherals 🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♂️ . Thanks again for your work.

                  @phialek This is quite a conundrum! The only other thing I can think of is the 3d engine. The emulator needs to have the legacy 3d engine switched on - the pi doesn't have enough grunt to run the current one.

                  Can you paste up the contents of your supermodel.ini file?

                  @4RetroPieTFT ahh yes, I love those groups and their experts 😂

                    i hope this will help to get it running, here is the content:

                    ;;
                    ;; Supermodel Configuration File
                    ;; Default settings for Version 0.3a.
                    ;;

                    ;
                    ; Quick Overview
                    ; --------------
                    ;
                    ; All settings are case sensitive. Numbers must be integers. Check your
                    ; spelling carefully because invalid settings are silently ignored. To verify
                    ; that your settings are being parsed correctly, check the contents of
                    ; error.log.
                    ;
                    ; Global options apply to all games. To create configuration profiles for
                    ; individual games, place settings under sections with the same name as the
                    ; corresponding MAME ROM set, like so:

                    ; MusicVolume = 200
                    ; ; ... etc. ...
                    ;
                    ; Input mappings are an exceptional case: they are only allowed in the global
                    ; section. Per-game input mappings are not supported.
                    ;

                      @phialek Hmm that's all as it should be:
                      New3DEngine=0

                      I don't suppose you remember installing anything that would intefere with the standard X Server?

                        I don't know what a standard x server is. :))

                        xrandr: cannot find mode 800x600

                        I really think the problem is in those lines

                          Can you do commands in the terminal ?
                          Can you post the output of "xrandr" ?
                          Perhaps there is a lead, in there.
                          Just type "xrandr" like this :

                            The outcome is quite funny:

                            Can't open display

                            That's all what the terminal is giving me back.

                              Oh yea sorry, I forgot, you can't run xrandr without X-windows/xinit.
                              As you do not have a desktop environment.
                              So in this state, this output is ok.

                              We have to do it a bit different.
                              Can you add a line in /opt/retropie/configs/supermodel/emulators.cfg :

                              xrandr = "XINIT:xrandr"
                              

                              And when you boot a rom select this line at launch.

                              Now the output of xrandr will show in :
                              /dev/shm/runcommand.log

                                  Thanks.

                                  There are a few things I see.
                                  xrandr only sees 1 resolution.
                                  And I don't have this :
                                  SDL_VIDEO_KMSDRM_CRTCID=87 SDL_VIDEO_KMSDRM_MODEID=37

                                  Well, I have to think about that.
                                  Not really sure where to look.
                                  I think I will hook up a TV and see what my output is.

                                  I will look at it tomorrow again and it can take a while before I respond to it.

                                      This may happen because you modified config.txt and instructed the bootloader to ignore the display's EDID. Did you edit the config.txt file ? Then post the contents here - surrounded by code tags (```).

                                        thanks for your help. ive defiantly altered the config file because of overclocking, which runs stable. ive also tested supermodel without oc whivh was even slower. here is the config:

                                        # For more options and information see
                                        # http://rpf.io/configtxt
                                        # Some settings may impact device functionality. See link above for details
                                        
                                        # uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default "safe" mode
                                        #hdmi_safe=1
                                        
                                        # uncomment this if your display has a black border of unused pixels visible
                                        # and your display can output without overscan
                                        disable_overscan=1

                                        # goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border

                                          @phialek Any reason you've added the hdmi_group/mode options ? Comment them, along with the hdmi_force_audio_edid=1 and try again. If you have a Pi4, the gpu_mem is also redundant and it's not needed (default is 76M).

                                            I think i was trying to rotate the screen in moonlight, but i don't remember that really.

                                            Can i just delete the hdmi group and hdmi mode comments there?
