Select-X (Quick Menu) > Back > Right once, select Audio > Output. Exiting Retroarch takes 30-60 seconds. All rights reserved. So if you press the button, if it gets to the emulator in time, it will display it. It's not excessively time consuming so I should be back rather soon. Goldeneye and Conker's Bad Fur Day are really smoother now with very few slowdowns (combined with tweaks from my previews threads linked below). A lot of things happen within those 16.7ms, one of which ispreparing for the next video frame. The amount of data passed between PCs is just inputs, and occasionally save states. Just tried Plus and indeed it has the same slowdown as your video. . I dare not ask @twinaphex any further questions, for obvious reasons. By clicking Sign up for GitHub, you agree to our terms of service and Above 'dynamic recompiler' the option 'Enable Advanced Bus-Level Timing' was on, also by default. The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered: What is this, there is no description or title? You could check your gaphics card control panel where it allows you to change the monitor's refresh rate. Config -> 3D Settings -> Renderer either Soft Rasterizer or OpenGL. Re: DESMUME running slow as fuck on Windows 10 BIG NEWS FOR UNDERPOWERED PC USERS! c101b4c Plug in to a power source. Awakened 15 January 2017 08:06 #5 Quoted from Mednafen's documentation: "Mednafen's Sega Saturn emulation is extremely CPU intensive. How do I fix this. Some games will never achieve playable speeds. Settings If the Wii can, which is pretty weak, so can the N3DS. So, when you press the B button on Frame 123, it sends that information to your opponent. Actual behavior. Edit: Audio latency is set to 160 ms, the other options I haven't tested yet. Chrono Trigger ran at 52-55 fps during the opening scene. Well occasionally send you account related emails. I haven't been able to determine more than this since commit c101b4c doesn't compile, the build process throws a message saying some warnings are treated as errors (implicit declaration of function, etc). For me it's better with the option D3D11 instead of OpenGL. Download a program like Speccy to know details about your computer. Maybe there's a bottleneck or the CPU is being throttled when loaded as a CIA app, but not as a 3DSX app. There are 2 major forms of latency (or lag, whichever you'd like to call it): Input Latency - The delay from pressing a button, to the display of that button action on the screen. and n64 you have to try different plugins and change settings for each game, but i can confirm majoras mask can play at near full seed, the odd audio glitch and slight slow down if opening doors and entering a new location but it soon resumes near full speed. So much for the 804 MHz CPU. 4 Likes aorin1 1 September 2018 15:45 #17 *Note this is the case for both Mupen64 Plus and Parallel. Frame Delay : 0 Where do we go from here? Can you do a bisect? I probably won't add it to the official repository since the emulator is mostly intended for O3DS. Overclock Your Pi. But 1 problem occured. You can experiment with it, but 1 or 2 frames should be more than enough. So if you go back one commit before that commit, you get the lost fps back? In some cases, when people playing against each other are very close geographically, this is possible (as long as all latency equals to less than a frame -16.7ms, this works). When I had it hooked up to my 1080 monitor in my room, it plays the games fine, so Im really stumped. Dec 6, 2018. Display Framerate : on. Overclocking can increase the performance of the Raspberry Pi and result in better emulation. I'm at a loss, if more optimizing can be done, great. I got the exactly same problem!!!!! Is the N3DS is too weak for better SPC700 emulation, even with the four times processing power? Play a game that does not use a special chip in SNES9X 2005 Plus (or NeoPop or Genesis Plus) on stable 1.6.0. Only set the Input Latency Frames. Any ideas on what to update graphics or whatever to speed the games up to normal? Im also not getting any input lag, and was able to play without any issue. Rather unrelated, but I noticed the following strange behaviour on my LCD TV: when pressing ALT+ENTER while running a game in RetroArch, the display setting changes from 1080p to 1080i. More posts you may like Many players complaining about input lag are probably experiencing this. Cheap laptops are garbage, from day 1. What RA does in this case, is rewind to Frame 123, show your B button press, and continue. Thumbs up. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do. It will work with the Vulkan driver (using very accurate if low-resolution N64 graphics). To make it easier, here's the link: (url snipped). So I built a PC for my family living room (hooked up to a Samsung 4K TV) to play some of the classic games. I recommend using 2 Input Latency Frames, and 1 Run-Ahead Frame as a starting point. Typically when the cache is building you will see a small green bar at the top of LaunchBox. Try to play when family are not watching netflix/youtube. Try the game again. Now, I just need to figure out if there's a way to make it permanent now that I know what the problem is, since it'll eventually go back to running slowly when I plug the keyboard back in. Loading a game takes 4-5 minutes. Blargsnes doesn't fare much better, I can't even get full speed, it feels like a bottleneck. DanThurman 4 October 2017 22:35 #5 RetroArch can deal with latency in 2 ways - Input Latency Frames (used to help withnetwork latency) and Run-Ahead (used to help with input latency). Half speed frame rates Using a Dell PC with an i5 processor. Also, the InputLatencyFrames setting is saved when exiting RA. I tried BlargSnes too, for the record, but I couldn't get full speed on that, maybe it doesn't like N3DS hardware. Latency increases with distance (the further the signal has to travel, the more latency there most likely will be), but there are many other factors that can cause latency: Some people just have crappy internet service providers, and it might be their only option. Depending on the time you leave your house (press a button), and depending on how bad the traffic is at that time (network latency), will determine what bus you get on (what frame). So if we use our bus analogy: Imagine you need to get on the bus. If you want to play it at reasonable speeds, try overclocking in conjunction with a heatsink. Surely, the N3DS can handle 1.52 audio. 7cc72f0. Decreasing the screen size the emulator has to calculate can lead to an overall speed increase. I also tried using the the BSNES balanced core, as well as the snes9x core. # possible first bad commit: [c101b4ccb3e767111c23c2d6495dcb1adef01d7e] netplay tweaks: disable rewind Conclusion: Changing to High Performance did boost my CPU from 3.2GHz to 3.5 GHz, though. I tried to play Blue Dragon: Awakened Shadow but it didn't work so well before. Select-X ( or back to Quick Menu) > Back > Right once, select On-Screen Display > On-Screen Notifications I tried cap32 and crocods. CFW: Luma 3DS and our Network Latency- The delay incommunication from one computer to another. # possible first bad commit: [c2882164f9a1f1d68dc06a80df9bdee716b0c520] reenable rewind if the user disables netplay If youre having the same performance issues this may be due something unrelated to Libretro. If we set Input Latency Frames to 2, and set Run-Ahead to 1, we essentially add 1 frame of input latency locally (2 input frames - 1 run-ahead frame = 1 total). If the frame difference was large, the game would de-sync. Again, confer with your, Miss 3 one-timers in 5 seconds then score on the 4th. For me it's better with the option D3D11 instead of OpenGL. 1.52 audio is too much for N3DS. I see the reason due to Snes emulation having current issues in performance in conjunction with 1.52 code. Suggestions: Don't buy anything under US$450 / CA$600 new. Is this something that can't be changed or fixed, heck, or even checking out the regressions? This disables some image processing (smoothing, etc) which introduces latency when playing games. Uh wut? Now, it works for me perfectly, I am surprised. Fiddle around with audio drivers, closing the game and restarting between each change? Would @qwertmodo know? Adding Input Latency Frames allows some time for Netplay to expect the input. https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/27428/howto-change-output-resolution-to-720p-on-libretro-retroarch-emulators Same results with Tekken 3. But I can't make that judgment, and I can't suggest that the Blargg S-SMP cores be removed, but I personally don't see any other option. See, I would use Snes9x 3DS, if it had Blargg's sound core, because as it, it runs very well, maybe the N3DS is just incapable of running a superior audio core. It might also be useful to disable the Steam Overlay as well. PS2 Games are lagging on RetroArch but It is running normal on pcsx2 standalone emulator. But, what happens when you press your B buttonand it's showing your pass onFrame 123, but it doesn't get to your opponent until Frame 125? Nothing else is really going to help I am afraid. The best way to think of the above isthis way: Imagine you need to get on the bus. How soon you see a reaction to your inputis called the input latency. Howto : Major performance boost on Retroarch-based emulators. Switch to 1 Input Latency Frame when playing someone who is closer to you. Edit /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg and set: The Video Hard Sync settings don't actually have any effect, as this is not available on the Pi, there is no benefit from having them set or unset: Try to decrease the Render Resolution or Framebuffer Resolution in the runcommand menu, displayed just before a game starts. Somake sure youcheck it before playing, if you'd like to change it again. XP. Users have discovered that if the TV's HDMI input for the Pi is already selected/activated when the TV is powered on (as opposed to a Blu-ray player, game console, etc. This is my opinion.. it's your money, do what you want. It may not display this or other websites correctly. I don't know what else to do. So, the fastest an emulator can show a change on the screen is 16.7ms. Why would this need to be removed if pcsx-rearmed doesn't run at full speed in most games and mednafen VB runs at unplayable framerates, yet they're still there? Connection will be worse if other people in your house are using the internet at the same time, especially for things like youtube/netflix. I was going to try incremental versions, 1.5.0, 1.3.3, etc and roll back until I found one that worked. All Games running super slow in retroarch but not native emulator. So clearly the hardware is capable somewhere. Sign up for a free GitHub account to open an issue and contact its maintainers and the community. Thanks a million hunterk. Like I said above, your Input Latency (which is local to you) and Network Latency (between you and your opponent) affect your Netplayexperience. By rejecting non-essential cookies, Reddit may still use certain cookies to ensure the proper functionality of our platform. Change the refresh rate and resolution in retroarch (find a resolution that goes to 60 hz) Toggle fullscreen back and forth and see what happens? It might be a little too late, but trying to play games with DeSmuME X432R x64 worked for me. How much faster depends on the specific game and emulator you are interested in. There's a bug in commit c288216. Cookie Notice Running on a mac mini 2012 quad core + 1tb samsung ssd hunterk 4 October 2017 13:13 #4 Try turning off the shader pipeline in settings > user interface > menu or, if it's too slow to navigate, try changing your menu_driver from "xmb" to "rgui" in your retroarch.cfg. Running pokemon stadium stutters here and there . I know it's not the best in the market but i run many AAA games fine with it. Tetris Attack's title screen goes from fullspeed to ~45 fps in the recent 'slow' builds using snes9x2005 'plus' (meaning with the blargg apu turned on). NoScript). Note: This is ONLY to be used to report spam, advertising, and problematic (harassment, fighting, or rude) posts. I just tried the 2005 Plus core that was bundled with 1.6.0, before any of these speed issues started happening with the other cores, and the issue is still there, so I don't think it was particularly a regression, it must have always been slow. Turn off 'Sync refreshrate to screen'. Used both 1.6.7 main and 9/19/17 nightly build, Video link of 1.6.7 regular: Clear editor. All trademarks are property of their respective owners in the US and other countries. The larger frame rewinds are more noticeable and look like skips. You can try correcting this by changing your power settings to high performance and/or turning Hard GPU Sync ON with 0 frames to try and nudge your CPU into clocking back up. For more information, please see our I will try to do this later. The most important thing is stability. I would suggest running RetroArch in a window and check your process monitor to see if one of your cores is pegged at 100%. I may need to start a bountysource to rally support to add Anomie's S-SMP to Snes9x since Blargg's S-SMP is a bottleneck for the N3DS CPU. So, if you press the button mid-frame (8ms), and your input latency adds up to 10ms, the total is 18ms (10ms latency, 8ms to press the button), and you will miss the frame. Start with 59.95 (which should be the default). Donkey Kong Country 2 runs at 48 fps on the second level in first world Raspberry Pi 1. I just wanted to see Snes emulation close to Nintendo's official Snes VC, I was too ambitious, and I'm sorry for suggesting to you to add 1.52 audio (on GBA Temp) to your fork of Snes9x, it was rude and inconsiderate. I did set the TV to gaming mode, but that didnt help it either. @twinaphex Yes, this fixes the performance issue on the 3ds port. Until that is built you WILL notice delays and slowness while the cache builds. Looks like that 3DS is slow again. Keep it open and start Retroarch to see if it changes. Post more info about your hardware if you need help figuring that out or go to whichever website and grab the latest driver. A lot of people have done tests of controllers. Some games, especially SuperFX and SA-1 games, will be slow on a stock speed Pi 1, but are generally playable on a Pi 3. Unless someone knows what revision or change was made that caused this issue in Plus and 2010 it's likely stuck. I have tried bsnes accuracy/balanced/performance, as well as the Snes9x (without any dates), and all have the same issue. Next, quit Retroarch and reopen it, go to "Settings -> Drivers -> Video" and change the driver to "vulkan." Now, open a ROM using the ParaLLel 64 core. Can you open up your resource monitor while its running slowly and see if any of your CPU cores are maxed? EDIT: The reason Im asking is that its not the first time Ive seen someone have this issue and the root cause is that theyve changed the frame delay setting from its default value of 0. I tried those exact things but it is still slow as F**k on my laptop. Kits are available cheap on eBay and Amazon, the bigger the heatsink the better. Vsync : On. It worked instantly. Screen resolution: at least 1920x1080 (Full HD, FHD) unless you're getting a really small screen (<=13"). I found that turning on Threading does fix it, but Ive also been told that its really meant for lower end PCs. @twinaphex So what do we do in the mean time? If you do not see this type offrame rate, check the troubleshooting thread! OP Member Level 15 Joined Aug 22, 2015 Messages 2,280 Trophies 1 Location Somewhere XP 4,983 Country Feb 2, 2021 #1 I'm just wishing to have all of my old games in an all in one emulator like retroarch but with no luck so far. The emulator checks for controller input during a specific time during a frame. Could anyone here shed some light on this? This way,the opponent's PC can wait for the input on Frame 125, showing it on 126,giving it 3 frames total of travel (Frame 123, 124, 125). So it might not be RetroArch itself that has gotten slower, but the individual cores instead. Take your time, if you want me to help test it, I can. An if statement was wrapped around an ifdef directive wrongly, which was easy to miss since it only affects systems with no network support. When your opponent is on Frame 123, it receives your B button press, and shows it on the screen on the next frame (124), just when it would show on yours as well. Laptop has an Intel GFX card and NVIDIA and audio was synicing to the Intel GFX which was likely in a low power state thus setting the sync to 30hz instead of 60 and since GFX is synced to audio we have slow gameplay, Goto Settings --> Audio --> Audio Device (note this is typically set to 1) [/quote=evilpaul] please help meee!!! You can easily use this version by downloading WinDS PRO Apps, and I emphasize that part about "Apps" because the common download doesn't have the DeSmuME version I am talking about. Your input has to wait for the next frame to show up. Config -> Display Method has the submenu for that. Only users with topic management privileges can see it. If you have a Raspberry Pi 1 or 2, overclocking is super simple with the built-in overclocking tool. Take your time and check everthing at your computer. I have a ryzen 5 2600. Ensure you're using your TV's native resolution to prevent any overhead due to upscaling. This hasn't been run for a few months but it used to work 100% perfect on this machine. Certain models of older Vizio TVs (and possibly others) may exhibit input lag if switching over to the Raspberry Pi from a different HDMI source. If not, your CPU may be clocking down. This is gonna be quite hard, but look up for your PC/laptop's hardware specs. People have been reporting that the latest version of Retroarch runs much slower on 3ds, and this doesn't seem to be related to any cores. It uses the Intel HD Graphics 530 for graphics. Earlier/later isn't always better, try different emulator versions to see which performs best for the ROM in question. Sadly is unlayable lag trying RESIDENT EVIL (SATURN) :/. I'm sorry to say my original bisect took a wrong turn somewhere (I must have forgot to reinstall the program on the cia in one iteration or something). Sep 22, 2021 @ 4:49pm It might also be useful to disable the Steam Overlay as . I recommend using 2 Input Latency Frames, and 1 Run-Ahead Frame as a starting point. Contributions to the project are always appreciated, so if you would like to support us with a donation you can do so here.

This is the effect of latency. NOTE: Leave "Input Latency Frames Range" to 0. Retroarch is unusable for me. I was looking at the repositories for Snes9x 2005 and 2010, and I don't see any red flags per se, I tried looking for the libretro Snes9x mainline, but I didn't see anything odd in there either. It has a Intel i5 6500 clocked at 3.2GHz and 8GB of RAM. I wasn't actually the first one to discover it, there were already a few pages on GBATemp's Retroarch 3DS thread talking about issues, I was just the first one to submit this issue on github. If we add 2 Input Latency Frames, for example, when we press B on Frame 123, it sends the press on Frame 123, but delays showing it until Frame 126(pressed on 123, would originally show on 124. Just pull up the Emulation Station menu and select "Overclock.". EDIT: So I just tried running a N64 game (with the Mupen64 core) and it lags at 30 FPS as well. Hosting Information Change it and see if it improves. My PC's more than powerful enough to run it. Press 'Forced refreshrate (Hz)' and set up a manual refresh rate. Most SNES, Mega Drive, GameBoy Advance, and simpler emulators should run at full speed or close on a Pi 2. Switch to 1 Input Latency Frame when playing someone who is closer to you. I am not using any shaders at all. maybe a setting i can try? Where would one even begin? I use cheat database for PKMN White 2 DSi, and there was one simple AR battle code 'No random encounters, hold R for instant encounter'. By turning Run-Ahead on, you remove at least 1 frame of input latency (you can set it higher if you'd like). This should be very close to 60Hz, usually bouncing around in the 59-60Hz range. Squashed 'deps/SPIRV-Cross/' changes from 2820ab0b51..49e4117c5f. source. In the menu Setup you can find the options for changing the ARM and SDRAM frequencies. However, theres a weird issue that Im running into. Or does anyone know where to get the old version 1.6.6? The video on the screen refreshes every 16.7ms (1 second / 60 frames = 16.7ms). Full-speed cores from the homebrew menu @FateForWindows I don't know, I've had a bad week so far, I'm sorry for my negativity. Oh yeah, Windows 8 ran desmume just fine and dandy. If you setup pcsx2 core settings on one machine that is stronger then use it on a slower machine it could be your settings being copied over and set to aggressively. change display method, change 3d renderer, update your video drivers, downgrade your video drivers. Not trying to be negative, but it sounds like the issue will be very difficult to be tracked down and resolved. It played fine on my monitor in my room, which is at 1080. ok, do other libretro cores work at the proper speed? Even non-special chip games suffer and drop to 41-45 fps in some cases; the N3DS simply isn't powerful enough for accurate SPC700 emulation. So it's something about windows 10 i need to do. In our case, the amount of time it takes to for one player's button press to show up on the other player's screen. hunterk, I tried what you recommended, and still no difference. On the other hand, the games that do run via Snes VC injection, run almost perfectly (60 fps, highly accurate audio). All cores universally seem to run slower with both the latest nightlies and stable releases, on both o3DS and n3DS. It's happening with all cores in general. Fortunately, overclocking your Pi is pretty painless. Certain versions of the emulators run some ROMs very fast, other versions run the same game very slowly. retroarch is damn slow for me too. This gives the network 2 frames to play with as far as receiving data, but we only see a difference of 1 frame while playing. Sync to Exact Content (G-Sync, Freesync) : off (not tested, might work well on supported monitors/TVs), Caveats (still worth it given the major performance boost), Saving changes The problem is this: It only checks every 16.7ms. Reddit and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a better experience. [QUOTE=hunterk;53857]Are you using any shaders? NOTE: Adding Run-Ahead frames becomes CPU intensive. Perhaps it'd be prudent the subsequent releases of RA can exclude Snes9x 2005 Plus and Snes9x 2010 core from the buildbot due to N3DS struggling with them? Go have fun. You are using an out of date browser. Hard GPU Sync : On Could it have something to do with being hooked up to a 4K TV? If you run off battery, the laptop may use a low-power mode and be slower. Upload or insert images from URL. Works with native emulators. In my testing, the loss in performance is quite real. It also keeps track of what frame you and your opponent are on, and compares. It's extra helpful on classic platformers and shooters, where precision is vital.
