Slowdown after update to 4.2
-
Not trying to be "that guy", because the "team" seems to have taken what I consider, a hostile attitude towards its' software's users, but @IronAvocado , is ANYONE but the "only person" to encounter this exact problem relating to "slowdowns" with the post 4.1.x updates. Before you continue to take the same attitude with me, I'll have you know I have worked on multiple systems with multiple builds, versions, settings, etc. I've ran 'top' and verified my CPU wasn't being maxed out.
To clarify: I am trying to run Final Fantasy VII. I have several backups/copies of this game, as I have purchased multiple copies of the actual game ~20 years ago. These include bin/cue, iso, and pbp. All copies run FLAWLESSLY on Retropie 4.1 and before. The music sounds great, theres no loss in animation, or frames per second. Once you update Retropie (whether by source or binary - doesn't matter) to 4.2 or higher, almost ALL psx titles begin slowdown, choppy, laggy emulation. I myself have spent 200+ hours investigating these issues, and to see folks like @BuZz and @dankcushions belittle and demonize eager, happy users is beyond off-putting. I have held great pride for this community ever since I started. But now. Now my stomach hurts. I feel like I actually need to throw up.Was the problem ever resolved?

Slow down can be caused by any number of scenarios. Please open up a new thread and include all the required information from https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first and we'll try to help you troubleshoot your issue. @Dochartaigh had been antagonistic regarding this issue for some time before this thread and it just boiled over here. I promise you that as long as you're civil, no one's going to belittle or demonize you.

@mediamogul Thank you for such a prompt and polite response. I am currently at the knee doctor with my grandmother. I plan to lower or disable video_frame_delay when I return home, and if that doesn't correct the problem, I will certainly get you any information you may need to address the problem. Thanks again - have a great day.

UPDATE
I'm back home at it. I check the video_frame_delay and it was set to 0. I decided to take @BuZz 's advice I saw earlier and opened up Retropie Setup and updated the Retropie script to 4.4 (I dont think I actually updated the platform, just the script). From there -> Manage Packages -> Manage Main Packages -> lr-pcsx-rearmed -> selected "Update from Binary". Rebooted. Final Fantasy VII seems to be working correctly now. I appreciate the help and advise other people experiencing slowdowns to follow the tips in this thread.
