emulationstation 4k on windows slow #705

Open lennygundam14 opened 6 years ago

lennygundam14 commented 6 years ago

does anyone have the same problem? wanted to use it on my 4k tv, but its pretty slow with the resolution increase

JoseBarakat commented 6 years ago

Sorry, I use Ubuntu Gnome 17.04. I really like ES (I don't mind using ES instead Retroarch) but it seems very abandoned. There are 335 open issues and 38 pull requests waiting to be merged and the last modification I've seen is 3 years old. It's written in C++ (excellent language, but not everybody can help), I would help but I only know HTML/CSS/JavaScript/other toys, and I haven't tried Emscripten. @lennygundam14 @Aloshi I have a 50" LG Plasma TV and it works fine through HDMI. Check for resolution configurations or drivers issues, I think.

The project is abandoned

JoseBarakat commented 6 years ago

It's a good project. Maybe it doesn't have its own "cores" like Retroarch, but it's a very good Frontend for any already installed emulator. I love and prefer its scraping method over Retroarch's. I'd fork it and port it to Javascript, Frontend and Backend (JS is getting more popular every second and more people can contribute faster). I hope @Aloshi is O.K. or maybe he has a busy job. Anyway, is an OpenSource project, so anybody with Software Design / UX / C++ / XML knowledge can contribute. For example, Open Issue #666 is waiting to be closed since 2 days from now and it has no conflicts with base branch. I don't think it's abandoned @hex007 (although that's the first impression), but (honestly) its development is way too slow.....

@Aloshi Himself has stated that this repo is abandoned. The last commit was more than 2 years ago.

Wow! Thanks: @Aloshi for ES. @hex007 for confirming my doubts. @zyguy for link to ES fork. I'll try to build it in Ubunu Gnome 17.04 x86_64.
