Yep, it is. I tried it out this morning, and the audio lag is gone with the latest binary.

[quote=111494]i have the same issue, so giving you a bump! seems to happen in mario kart 64 also.

i’ve not tried it, but you might want to try turning off video_threaded in retroarch.cfg – i think it’s bad news for performance but it might ensure the sound stays in sync??

Thanks for the reply. Now at least I don’t feel like I’m going crazy. I haven’t seen any mention of this anywhere else, and all videos of Mario 64 running on Mupen64 on the Pi2 on YouTube don’t seem to have the delay. Then again, some of them are using the rice plugin, which is immediately evident when you see the screwed up lighting on Mario’s face.

Not sure about turning off threaded video. I’ve tried turning on Hard GPU Sync, but it didn’t alleviate the sound delay.

Alright, thanks. I ended up just using a CRT shader for NeoGeo and then leaving all other systems configured by your Video Manager script. crt-hyllian-lq seems to do a very nice job replicating that old arcade monitor feel.

If I ever decide to re-apply your video settings for Neo Geo, I’ll refer back to those config file settings that you posted and make sure they match up. Thanks for the help.

UPDATE

Alright, I finally figured out how to access the service menu in lbr-fba-next thanks to some random forum poster back in early 2014. Pressing B+C+D after soft rebooting through Unibios brings me to the service menu, and best of all it even saves my changes!

So I’m pretty much all good now. Figured I’d post my solution in case some other poor soul finds themselves wasting time like I did last night.

[scoularis]

Alright, so I’ve tried everything short of updating to the latest lbr-fba-next from source, and I can’t seem to find any way to access the service menu for Neo Geo ROMs.

I’ve seen mention online of a supposed “Enable Diagnostics” toggle in the Core Options for fba-next, but that’s not present in my Core Options. Was it removed in a recent version or something?

I’ve also seen mention of a hotkey (similar to the one used to access the unibios menu) that can be used to jump right to the service menu, but nothing I’ve tried thus far has worked.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I just want to turn on blood in games like Metal Slug 1-3.

Wow. This is the best theme I’ve seen for Emulation Station. Everything about it is nearly perfect, from the color scheme to the sizing and placement of all the elements. Thanks for sharing it with us.

I especially like that the game descriptions are in proper case rather than all caps.

If you confirm the menu option (numbers) you chose I’ll check it out. Are you using RetroPie 3.2.1?
I’m trying to remember if lr-fba-next is the default for Neo Geo?
It may also help if you post your /opt/retropie/configs/neogeo/retroarch.cfg on pastebin.com and link to it.

Yes, I’m on the latest RetroPie and lr-fba-next is the default for Neo Geo.

For menu options, I did:

Config > Download Required Files
1080p overlays
Overlays (1st option)

As for my neogeo retroarch.cfg, I’ve since restored it back to default since the overlay was being problematic. When I get home later tonight I could apply the overlay back to Neo Geo and then share my config file. Thanks for looking into this.

Also, I’m running v1.0 of video manager. That’s the latest one, right?

[scoularis]

Yeah, I looked in core options for fba-next the other day and didn’t see any way to set it to Unibios. I’ll look again when I get home later today.

[scoularis]

Oh, didn’t notice that you said the update wasn’t in the binaries yet. I guess I’ll wait until it hits the binaries since I’m more comfortable with updating that way rather than from source.

Also, I found out how to access the runcommand menu. For some reason on my setup it’s the A button on my controller that triggers it. Thanks again for all your help.

Now that I can access the runcommand menu I might just switch over to GnGeo and set it to Unibios and AES mode for the time being. See if it performs well enough to leave it on that instead of fba-next.

Good news: scraping my NES directory worked fine after I killed all Emulation Station processes. Thanks for the tip!

2) Ah, so the latest version of fba-next lists all the service mode options under Core Options? That sounds ideal. You said I can update the emulator through the RetroArch GUI? You mean the one that comes up with Select + X? I wasn’t aware that you could update an emulator through that interface. I think I can also update individual emulators through the Retropie Setup menu, right?

[scoularis]

Yes, I followed the setup guide on the Wiki down to the letter, but the runcommand menu simply won’t come up no matter what button I press on my controller during a ROM’s startup.

As for scraping, I’ll try killing the EmulationStation processes first before I run it on NES again. What’s the easiest way to kill them all?

[scoularis]

Hey Floob,

I just set up my new Pi 2 with Retropie and the default 1080p overlays from your Video Manager script. So far I’ve tested NES, Genesis, SNES, and Neo Geo.

NES/Genesis/SNES all look great with the Retrostation TV overlay and scanlines, but for some reason in Neo Geo the image is down and to the right so that about 80% of it is obscured by the bottom right portion of the television overlay. I’ve tried resetting to default and re-applying the overlay, but no dice. It’s only on Neo Geo (lr-fba-next) that I’m seeing this issue. Any ideas?

I’m running Retropie on a 1080p screen with everything set to defaults otherwise.
