    Hey guys, I checked out Raspberry Pi’s Forums and it said Sega CD (works flawlessly). However, I am seeing extremely slow video which makes the games unplayable.

    I am using stock GLSL which gives me a warning message on the command line. Any settings I must adjust for Picodrive?

    Thanks,
    Dan

    Mine runs perfect, nothing except a 950 overclock

    set video_threaded = true in retroarch.cfg maybe

    Should video_threaded = true be a default setting set by the RetroPie-Setup Script? What do you think?

    Yes, I found that adding video_threaded=true improves performance. Also rewind_enable = false, can also improve performance, and enabling it cause some cores to segfault.

    Also setting sound rate to 44100 also improves audio performance in some cores.

    On overclocking, 950 is what I have, running smoothly all cores, except some x32 games (virtua fighter and some others).

    Also, I’ve read that using a lower ram split, leaving at least 192 mb of ram for the cpu may be better, at least that’s what the developer of muppen64plus-pi says.

    I think you need to include these lines in es_systems.cfg since they are not included in the original setup

    Thanks guys! I really appreciate the help here!
    video_threaded=true
    sound rate to 44100 did it for me!

    I also turned off vsync and I’m about to change the RAM to a more healthy split as per whise’s advice.

    I can finally play Mad Dog McCree on SegaCD!

    Thanks for sharing – I will also add these systems to es_systems.cfg with the next update.

    You could also test OpenVG without threaded video driver. Threaded video driver can produce a significant input lag.

    video_driver=”vg”
    video_threaded=false

    (One warning: If you use OpenVG you can not open RGUI)
