Pi3 Question : Psx ( psx-rearmed) Games Lag

windg

@escc1986

I try Area 51(USA)(.cue and .bin version not CHD) in a Pi3 and it doesn't lag. I believe the problem is somewhere else.

I'm not sure what I did ... i just started disabling everything and the games seem to run much better

Here is an image of my settings

But unfortunately now I seem to get Crackling Audio/ Sound .... from the picture of my settings any idea why

From what Windg mentioned , I believe the best option for me is to try and replace every Game i have with Bin/Cue files ... i think I might try that

you've got a number of non-standard settings there. it's difficult to assist you if you keep changing settings :)

firstly, you should update lr-pcsx-rearmed as you're missing newer settings.

frankly, you've changed too much to effectively diagnose this problem. after an update, i would delete all the pcsx_ entries in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-core-options.cfg and next time you run it it will use all the proper defaults)

i appreciate you honesty ... and yeah i didn't know what i was doing when changing setting on this core ...

the only thing i wanted to do was have all light gun games and run the modyfied version of ir-rearmed (from here https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/23533/lightgun-support-added-to-pcsx-rearmed?_=1596695570484 ) to run light gun games with a light gun

any tips or suggstings for that

well to be honest ... once i installed the fresh stock image (from this site .... the first thing i did was moydfy the ir pscx reamed to exactly like how that link was mentioned

i did these steps

" To use this you need to edit:
/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/libretrocores/lr-pcsx-rearmed.sh

Change the section to be like this:
function sources_lr-pcsx-rearmed() {
gitPullOrClone "$md_build" https://github.com/SindenLightgun/pcsx_rearmed.git
}

Now go into RetroPie setup, manage packages, manage core packages, lr-pcsx-rearmed, do a remove first, then update from source.

When that has finished then you load lr-pcsx-rearmed as usual. Then on the menu under options you can change Pad 1 Type to "guncon". You need a mouse based lightgun like the Aimtrak or a Dolphin bar or my upcoming Sinden Lightgun. "

@dankcushions

do you think or suggest after doing this

i should update and will i still have the guncon settings ?

@escc1986 the fact that you're running a modified build of the emulator does seem like fairly crucial information to tell us...

because you've edited the script you won't be able to update the retropie-setup script at all, as it will complain about the file being modified, and if you update the emulator it will pull from the modified version, which hasn't been updated in about 1 year, missing many updates.

i only support standard retropie. i'm afraid you're on your own here.

@dankcushions

yeah i guess its all trail and error ... well i didnt think it mattered with game settings , i just thought it was controller settings that were that's it

well with all this advice you have given me ... i have knowledge what to try and see ... i appreciate that very much

thank you for all your help
