@ken-tipton not sure I understand - you've basically done the same thing a few posts back. Are you a different user than the original poster ?

Ken Tipton

@mitu same user just confused I guess.

I should rename the retroarch.cfg file I get that. then you said to re-install the retroarch. that is the part I am not sure how to do.

mitu

@ken-tipton Just like you re-installed lr-mame2003/lr-fbneo - use the RetroPie-Setup, retroarch is one of the core packages.

Ken Tipton

@mitu I see....I didn't do that last time I just renamed the cfg file and launched a mame2003 game and everything worked. I will download the emulators and retrorarch now

You shouldn't have done that - this is probably the reason you're experiencing problems, because starting the emulator without the RetroPie's config generated the RetroArch's defaults again.

thank you again for being understanding. My son originally set this up and is away at college so now I know nothing

I'm not sure that will help. You should try again the 1st advice. Once RetroArch is finished installing, rename the /opt/retropie/configs/arcade/retroarch.cfg file and re-install one of the arcade emulators (lr-mame2003) before starting a game.

@mitu will do

1.let retrorarch finish downloading
2. rename retrorarch cfg file
3. download a new emulator
4. launch game

Lagging problem fixed. I did as above but no change. I looked around in the retrorarch menu of the game. (Hot Key+X)

Settings-Video options. There was a setting for Vertical Refresh, and default was 60hz. It said that would be ignored unless video Threading was on. I turned on Threading and it fixed the lagging issue with no other ill effects thus far.

MITU you were a very big help on this and I really appreciate the time you spent to help me. Thank You
