Some emultors/roms running slowly on my Pi
-
@jimd0586 if you've done a bunch of stuff that you can't remember it's difficult to revert! i would suggest running a full retropie binary update again.
-
The opengl desktop acceleration is incompatible with retropie. Run raspi-config and disable it.
-
Any idea how to disable? Can I do it from the command line? I cant even get into retropie/emulation station.

@dankcushions
Ok. Thanks. How would I do that from the command line? -
@jimd0586 type
raspi-config -
Got it. Thanks Buzz. While I am sure that Dank is correct, that some roms and emulators will run slowly on a pi, any idea why my pi 3 is running slowly? I hear that pi 3's can run N64 roms. Are there individual rom or emulator settings that might help?
-
@jimd0586 what is running slowly apart from those mentioned? N64 isn't perfect and some games have slowdowns for example.
-
Honestly, the only emulators that I play are neo geo, MAme 2003, and SNES
-
@jimd0586 please give me an example of something that is running slowly.
-
Ok. Well, the SNES emulator should be able to run on a Pi3 easily enough. The best example I can give is Super Mario World Allstars + World. But generally, I imagine that the Pi3 should be able to run the SNES emulator without problems. I wonder if my RaspiATX card that controls the power is draining too much juice from the Pi3 thus reducing performance. Is that a possibility? I do have the switch that controls the pi from the board as an LED switch... ie it uses electricity as well.
