See my fix on my other thread for the scan lines issue.

First time user, some issues, HELP!

I have mine running perfectly now and to think a few days ago I knew nothing about Linux! YouTube is great isn’t it?! Lol.

Got it!!!

I did everything suggested but it didn’t make any difference.

But if you type

sudo nano /RetroPie/configs/snes/retroarch.cfg

THATS the setting that overwrites any previous settings.

you can change it for each emulator just substitute snes for megadrive etc.

I also changed my overclock to HIGH and memory split to 384/128 and switched to pisnes and it works perfectly now. NO controller lag!

Thanks guys.

Brilliant!, thank you, hopefully running PiSNES solves the controller lag I’ve been experiencing.

As long as PiSNES runs super mario world, mario kart, f-zero, and a few other early games I’m not that fussed.

Would having a keyboard and a USB RetroLink SNES controller plugged in at the same time cause a little lag due to power consumption? Should I change the overclock setting from HIGH to MEDIUM to solve this?

I’ll report back tomorrow when I get a chance to configure everything tonight.

Thanks for the reply, so if I wanted to edit the files from the raspberry pi itself what would I type to edit it?

Would it be (i’m still learning linux)

sudo – super user?
nano – text edit?

sudo nano /home/pi/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

find the video_shader_enable = ” ” line

change from
video_shader_enable = “true”

to

video_shader_enable = “false”

Would that work?

Also, I heard PiSNES works better than the default one. Would this already be installed as part of the 1.10.1 retropie image? Or will I have to download it?

And how do you switch to it?

[silverbullet767]

Thanks for your reply!

1. How do I edit this configuration file? What commands do I use? What parts of the file do I edit?

2. I set the memory to 256/256 split. Is because I had a keyboard plugged in at the same time?

3. Yes it starts emulationstation on boot. I tried pi, and raspberry but they didn’t work.

To answer your questions.

Raspberry pi model B

I have only tried the MegaDrive emulator and the SNES emulator. The standard ones packaged with RetroPie SD Card image 1.10.1
