EmulationStation extremely slow - 2fps #18

Closed CategoryQ closed 2 years ago

CategoryQ commented 2 years ago

I have installed RetroPie on my Pi4 Model B, and as per the subject emulation station lags a ridiculous amount, making the menu practically unusable.

From my es-log.txt, there are no obvious errors

I quit halfway through setting up the controller, as it just wasn't reflecting on screen what was happening.

I have since then used the RetroPie script to install from source, but it made no difference. I fought to get the controller setup, and the lag is shown by the FPS from this photo. 20220326_130448

Frustratingly, installing RetroPie on a separate SD card and it runs flawlessly, but I'd much prefer it to be launched from OSMC.

Any ideas? Happy to provide more logs, let me know what would help.

I'm sorry I've not got an RPi4 to test/support. But I strongly suspect it is because OSMC now use the GL drivers. Those are considered experimental by RetroPie and are not as yet used in their official images.
