SilverDragon81 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I am about done trying to deal with retroarch. I switched over from my desktop to my laptop because retroarch was running smooth on the laptop when trying to emulate ps1 and I was having no luck on my desktop it was all choppy and I couldn't figure out what was going on. Now on my laptop I was just about complete getting everything all set inside Bigbox, the only system I had left was the Wii using Dolphin. So I start working with it to get everything set up and notice that I am getting terrible lag running any wii games. Checking my video drivers first I notice that they are out of date (seems I hadn't updated them in almost 2 years) so I update my drivers and wii works like a dream, however now the blasted retroarch is doing the same thing it was doing on my desktop being all laggy and choppy and not just with the ps1 games but everything(NES, SNES, Gameboy Advance) and these should not be having any trouble. So I started trying out standalone emulators for the nintendo systems and they are all working fine. Just retroarch is being a pain since I updated my drivers. Does anyone have any advice for me? I am seriously about to just drop retroarch altogether because of these problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon57 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Have you tried changing the video driver type in Retroarch/video settings? Just cycle through the different choice and see if any fix the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have gone through them but I will go through again, maybe I missed something. Yea no luck and now retroarch is in some sort of messed up basic mode or something with green text and whatnot.

Headrush69 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I would suggest installing a clean copy of Retroarch to a different location and see what the default behavior does. At the very least this will tell us if it's a configuration issue somewhere with your current setup, or a fault with core Retroarch. From there we will know what to check first.

So I uninstalled retroarch completely and reinstalled it. Still having the same issue, I was having this same issue on my desktop which is one of the reasons I switched to the laptop ( I had tested retroarch on my laptop when I was trying to figure out what was going on with the desktop) but this is of course before I updated my GPU drivers. I don't get it, is anyone else running a 1050Ti having strange issues with retroarch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headrush69 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I've read that sometimes when updating video drivers, the refresh rate can get changed. Maybe try checking that out following this first post: Libretro forum post about syncing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to keep that link saved in case I forget about those settings and have issues again. Again thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
