Bad quality on retropie menus

[regidark]

Hello Everyone.

I just got my raspberry pi 3 and installed retropie

When i go through the menus on retropie some text are not crisp, image is not good.

It can be because of a hdmi cable icompatibility?

It is very strange. Pie works fine the only thing is the image which is not like the videos i´ve seen when people go through menus and all.

I also tried on two different tvs with the same results.

Here i uploaded a youtube video where you will see better.

My TV is LG, i use it as a secondary monitor.

here is the boot file

OK, so i tried on another monitor and now it looks good, but the problem is that when i go through the menus the transition is not so smooth.

I have a raspberry pi 3 and i´m surprised of this behaviour

it is normal?

Thanks a lot

I’ve had this problem for ages. It seems to be some inherent problem with Emulationstation. I raised a ticket on the Github for ES but development seems to have ended!
