      @mitu BAH I forgot to reply.
      You are on to something because the lag is horrible as if resources are thrashed. I cannot seem to find the commands to get the vRAM and GPU. What are they?

        Allocated VRAM is an EmulationStation option. For the GPU memory allocation, check the /boot/config.txt file (see also the docs on Memory Split).

          Here is all I see in the /boot/config.txt, but they are remed out.

          #gpu_mem_256=128
          #gpu_mem_512=256
          #gpu_mem_1024=256

          I can not navigate in the UI to get to the ES options

            I tried to remove the # from the entries but get access denied over scp. From the console, config.txt is empty using the vi.

            On another note, I fried one of my Piv3 so got a v4. I read that it handles the gpu differently, but I still have the same exact symptoms with the image running on the new pi.

              Press the Start button you setup previously in ES to open the ES Main Menu

              Go to "Other Settings" and you will see "VRAM Limit"

                No dice. Here is all I get with the start button. No response when trying to just select blindly.

                  @rasp_renegade You seem to be running a very old RetroPie version (and a very old EmulationStation), which doesn't have the VRAM settings.

                  Any reason you're not using a more recent version of RetroPie ?

                    Good question!

                    When running sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh, I get "Raspbian/Debian Jessie and versions of Ubuntu below 10.04 are no longer supported."

                    Does this mean it is too old to upgrade?

                      Yes, pretty much.

                        OK thank you. I will start from a new image.
