Drakkorcia Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I am prepping my Raspberry Pi 4 for installation into an arcade cabinet and Retropie is installing fine, games added, MAME 0.78 romset, etc. Only problem is there is so much lag I can't play anything. Really simple games like Donkey Kong. This is the first time I've gone outside of my beastly desktops so I am not sure what the best place to start is. Anybody Raspberry gurus? I want everything working properly before I start taking arcade cabinets apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would probably get a faster answer posting in the actual Rpi forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakkorcia Posted December 3, 2019 Author Share Posted December 3, 2019 The solution is the Pi was too underpowered for my tastes and the decades old versions of MAME didn't help. I put a PC in my cabinet and the games run like greased lightning. Killer Instinct included Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
