      I'm running Retropie 4.1.8 and have enabled the advised settings on the wiki - enabling certain options in my psx config file, yet my roms are very slow to load (they hang on the press a button to enter options screen for some time) and when they do load they're pixelated and the graphics look terrible.

      I've even followed the instructions to overclock my pi and this has seemed to have no effect.

      Anyone able to point me in the right direction to improve performance?

        Psx games sometimes take a little longer to load because they took a little longer to load on a real psx. It was a cd based system. As far as the pixelated graphics, that's what they are. Most games were 320 x 240 and being stretched to 1080p will make it pixelated. That's just how the raw games looked. Try turning on bilinear filtering in retro arch. Or you can try the high Rez mode in pcsx
