Low framerate on main EmulationStation menu - Pi 4

@paddydukes At this stage I might just clean image and see if it resolves...

KMS requires that you run the latest test kernel which is 5.10.3 as of today.

You are still using 5.4, which has issues. You need to run rpi-update and then proceed with the KMS driver.

Starting with a fresh image may be your last resort. It’s hard to pinpoint issues with too many unknowns especially when you are doing testing.

[paddydukes]

@bluestang Weird that it's still broken when reverting though? I'll update and see anyhow!

And for anyone wondering, yes sadly it appears amiberry is broken due to dispmanx requirement.

KMS disables DISPLAYMANX so any emulator that uses this for the RPi4 will no longer work with KMS.

The RPi4 will eventually transition to KMS as the preferred choice once the driver is ready.

Re: Amiberry there is an option to build it with the SDL2 backend...have you tried that version?

[paddydukes]

@bluestang I just read that and found this. https://github.com/midwan/amiberry/issues/463

Once i get things back up and running I can go down that route!

[paddydukes]

@bluestang Fresh imaged and set everything up again. Backing up my image now :p

Will then rpi-update and attempt to set kms!

[paddydukes]

@bluestang Up to 5.10.3-v7l+

Add kms and noaudio params. Back to no audio. (ES and games)

Revert to fkms. Sound returns (phew)

Change back to kms, same deal.

Added some stuff based on docs trying to get it to output audio:

# uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output
hdmi_force_hotplug=1

# uncomment to force a HDMI mode rather than DVI. This can make audio work in
# DMT (computer monitor) modes
hdmi_drive=2
hdmi_force_edid_audio=1

But no joy.

@paddydukes

I read here:

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/28732/kernel-5-10-on-board-audio-disabled-or-not-present/5

To check es_settings. Currently HDMI and Default, so should be fine...

Then I see this message:

PulseAudio will not be installed unless you're also installing the desktop - RetroPie doesn't install it by default. When installed, PulseAudio will take over the default ALSA card and instead of PCM, the mixer name will be Master.

Which you alluded to earlier. So as I've never installed desktop... this is possibly the issue.

sudo apt-get install pulseaudio did not resolve, but not sure if there are some other steps I need to do here...

If you go to the Audio menu in RetroPie Setup, and then go to Mixer is the volume bar working?

sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade will install PulseAudio since that was a recent update from the RPi dev team.

Update: I don't use the RetroPie images...I start with a fresh RPiOS image and then install RetroPie on top of it. I use the both the desktop and console, so I need to be able to switch back and forth with ease.

[paddydukes]

@bluestang I removed pulse audio again. It was recognising it as a device, but no output to hdmi, and apparently ES doesn't use it?

In Retropie-Setup when I got to audiosettings, it tells me "On board audio disabled or not present"

raspi-config is saying " │ No internal audio devices found" under audio.

Can you post your /boot/config.txt and dmesg again...something is not right with your setup.

[paddydukes]

@bluestang Sure thing.

[   22.392586] usbcore: registered new interface driver xpad

This seems notable:

[    5.036845] debugfs: Directory 'fef00700.hdmi' with parent 'vc4-hdmi-0' already present!
[    5.041179] vc4-drm gpu: bound fef00700.hdmi (ops vc4_hdmi_ops [vc4])
[    5.042385] vc4_hdmi fef05700.hdmi: 'dmas' DT property is missing or empty, no HDMI audio

I think I may have found the problem...

Make sure that the firmware audio driver: dtparam=audio=on is before dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d (drop the -pi4 its not needed)

dtparam=audio=on
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d,noaudio

I just set my config to the way you have it and the sound was gone just like yours. I went back and reverted the change and sound was back!

@bluestang Sorted it! I didn't think it would be order-sensitive tbh! Thanks for all the help!

I learned something new today, I'm glad you got it fixed. I'm going to update my other post with this info.

@bluestang On the Amiberry front, worried I'd have to go off and compile the binary and fiddle around with symlinks and that kind of thing. Turns out, just reinstalling automatically builds the SDL2 version.

Screen tearing I was seeing in Redream seems to be eliminated! Gonna test out Flycast some more too to see if performance has improved.
