      Hello,

      I just got my new Pi4 build up this week and I notice that the ES menu is sometimes choppy and sometimes buttery smooth. This is when scrolling the systems in the main menu. Is this out of the box that way?

          @GreenHawk84 I've been having a similar problem, see my post at https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/27299/low-framerate-on-main-emulationstation-menu-pi-4/ for what I've done so far (there are a few things that can help improve performance until the root cause is discovered).

            @rilight I was actually looking for that thread before posting this, I could not find it for some reason. I am disappointed that this is happening. I will also look for the screen tearing. I will probably hold off on swapping my Pi3B+ out of my arcade cabinet for this Pi4 until things are smoothed out.

            I am using Carbon with no modifications to any settings, fresh image installed from this website.
