masterfulmethods Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Hello, I'm looking for some advice on Playstation performance. I've tried Beetle HW, Beetle SW, and PCSX Rearmed, and they all do the same thing, run at about half speed with choppy audio. I turned on "show internal FPS" in the Beetle HW options to check that, and the FPS is jumping around all over the place, from 10-60. I was having the same (or at least very similar) issues with SNES, so I switched the video driver from GL to D3D11, and it fixed SNES. I've tried every driver with PS1; most have the same issue, some are worse. Any ideas here? Computer is Hades Canyon Intel NUC; Retroarch is 1.7.7; Beetle/Mednafen says it's 0.9.44.1 Using default options, not trying to increase internal resolution or anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 when you run the game go into the video settings and see what RA is saying your refresh rate is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterfulmethods Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 Vertical Refresh Rate is showing 59.940Hz Set Display-Reported Refresh Rate is showing 29.970Hz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Sounds like you have Windows set to 30, not 60 hz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd been in the video settings a few times before and saw the refresh rates, but I based on the wording "Set Display-Reported Refresh Rate" I thought that was something where you give it a value to override stuff; plus i don't know why that one monitor would be running 30hz in the first place, so it just never really crossed my mind to check into it...

Thanks @neil9000 Yeah, Windows/Your GPU were telling Retroarch to run at 30 as that is what your desktop was set to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 yeah if you have slow down in RA that is one of the best places to look and see if you can see what is going on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
