edugr10 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Hello guys, As I mentioned in another thread I recently had to do a fresh Windows installation, and I've been running into a few issues with LaunchBox. I still have my old HDD with the LaunchBox folder so I'm using that, and while some things worked out of the gate, stuff like rom paths were a problem that I managed to solve thanks to lordmunkus. However now I've ran into another issue, and I think this is actually RetroArch related since it happens even when I don't use LaunchBox, but I figured I'd ask here because I can't make any threads on the libretro forums yet due to being a brand new member. The issue is simple, every game I try runs slightly below full speed when I'm using my Plasma TV to play. Some bullet points: - Games run fine if I'm using my PC monitor. - This happened with every platform I tested: Snes, Arcade/MAME, CPS1 and 2, and Neo-Geo. Figured this was a large enough sample. - I have updated all my cores fairly recently, not long before I had to reinstall Windows. The core files are still in their folder so I guess that's not the issue. - All games run just below their full speed, with audio stuttering/lagging. This is consistent accross every game I tried. - I've always used this TV to play RetroArch via LaunchBox before I reinstalled Windows and everything always ran beautifully. - This TV still uses the same HDMI channel with Game Mode activated, nothing has changed on that end. - My PC still has the same specs, nothing has changed on the hardware front. - My RetroArch folder is untouched other than being moved to a new directory, same for the LaunchBox folder (except for some rompaths I edited). I've seen some threads on libretro forums of some people that ran into similar issues, but no real solutions. Some mentioned something about v-sync, but I don't even know where that setting is supposed to be. I think this is PC/Windows related as it happened right after I reinstalled Windows. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 The V-Sync setting in Retroarch is located in Settings (cogwheel icon) > Video (towards the bottom). Turning off V-Sync on a non G-Sync / Freesync display will cause screen tearing which can be offputting. You can also take a look at my Retroarch guide I made to maybe find a setting that might be causing an issue for you. Also take a look in your Windows display settings and see what refresh rate your TV is set to use, it should be at 60. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looked like the most new-Windows-install thing to me so it was the first thing I tried. It was in 50hz for some reason, all good now. Thank you again so much.

Lordmonkus Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Yup, that'll do it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
