The very best video output for all systems is IMO achieved by using the default core options with the scanline overlay and sharp-bilinear filter. This will give you a clean image with scanlines, similar to using an XRGB-Mini.
go to settings -> overlay settings -> effects -> wii -> scanlines.cfg
go to options -> shader options -> shader passes and select “1”. Go to shader 0 and select “sharp-bilinear.” Go to shader 0 filter and select linear. Select apply settings.
make sure your scaling is correct! Enable integer scaling if you haven’t. You should immediately be able to tell if scaling is correct by just looking at some small text – some pixels will be warped/distorted as a result of bad scaling. The scanline overlay makes it easy to detect bad scaling, as the scanlines should always line up with pixel edges.
Enhanced smoothing is the devil, you’re losing detail and introducing artifacts into the image, which is bad
[/quote]Hello and thank you for this. I will try these settings tonight.
Your post reminded me also that I changed my config to say Video Smooth =True.
I’ll ammend this and see if any of the above gives me what I am hoping to achieve.Hi,
Maybe this will help (from the “Fine Tuning Retropie” thread.
[quote=88752]On my B+ I don’t have any issues whatsoever with the PSX emulator. But this requires an aggressive overclock and active cooling with heatsink and fan. It runs PSX at full speed with zero audio issues, lag, or long loading times when:
arm_freq=1150
core_freq=500
sdram_freq=600
over_voltage=8
force_turbo=1Note the above settings WILL set your warranty bit. However its been pretty stable and never goes above 55C with heatsink and fan. Using BT PS3 controller.
I have recently acquired a Pi2 and although it is noticably faster at many tasks, I did not see much of a difference with the PSX. It handles heavy action on the screen without dipping the frame rate, but that’s it. However N64 performance is MUCH improved, running Mario 64 and MarioKart 64 at full speed with literally ZERO glitches. However this isn’t the case with all games. Some simply do not run.
My Pi2 is overclocked to 1100.

Thank you for providing this information, I will try these settings over the next 48 hours and provide feedback to this thread.
I have two heat sinks at the moment but have no fan, I will definatally get one though if this works.
Thank you again
