Mednafen_psx is too slow

RetroArch Windows devices
#1

Sorry for posting this again, (i saw some old post about this).

My pc is not the fastest in the world, in fact, it is a small tablet with an Atom 1.8 Ghz, and i know mednafen_psx requires a fast CPU tu run well, so I don’t think mednafen_psx will ever work well on it.

I was wondering if there is another PS1 core I could use in retroarch, or if I can change some internal options in mednafen_psx to make it a bit less CPU intensive.

The rest of emulators I use are running perfect, (mupen64 runs perfect) so there is nothing wrong in the tablet.

I want to play PS1 games in retroarch because I can use the overlay buttons and use the tablet as a portable console. ePSXe runs perfect, but it does not have any overlay options for tablets

Thanks a lot.

It’s just a CPU intensive core, there’s not much to be done about that. Perhaps turn off any shaders or filters you might be using. I’m pretty sure hardware acceleration and an openGL mode are both coming to Mednafen-PSX so maybe that’ll make a difference when they’re added.
