So i got my pi setup. Whenever i try the enhanced resolution thing my pi seems to freeze up after a while, tried final fantasy 7 and could play for a while then it just freezes and i have to cut the power to the pie to reset it. Same thing for crash team racing… just freezes sooner. Does anyone else have this problem? Is it just too much for the pi. It doesn’t play choppy… atleast not ff7. Didn’t get far enough with crash team racing to get in any gameplay. Froze on intro. If someone does have it working properly please share your settings with me. It’s not vital… but yeah it looks allot nicer with it on. Perhaps I’d need a heatsink for it or something
Questions:
1: is it a true full freeze causing a kernel panic? (suggest making Lakka log things for a bit) (instructions can be found here http://www.lakka.tv/doc/Troubleshooting-Lakka/) 2: have you tried using SSH to reboot when it happens? (less damaging if it works) 3: Why are you trying to enhance the resolution?
The reason I ask 3 is because the games runs fine for me, but I don’t run that option so I was curious if it is just a wanting aesthetics sort of thing. The Raspberry pi 3 isn’t exactly a powerful system, so running unnecessary options is going to potentially cause the emulators to hang.
Ws just trying out some settings. Purely for looks. Without enhanced resolution it’s been stable and playable. I’ll just keep to the non enhanced settings. Was just curious if it was possible to use them without problem. Since the resolution thing just affects 3d it makes sense it freezing less on ff7 opposed to crash team racing. Different levels of 3d i guess… a fullon freeze. Controller wont respond litterally can’t do anything…but turn of the power
Not particulary techy… i’ll just keep with the original graphics. It’s fun playing my old games any way it looks
What I was getting at is that there is Full freeze (kernel Panic) and soft freeze (emulator frozen) from the console they would look similar but if you have an android smartphone handy, install connect-bot (SSH-client), look at the IP address of the Pi in settings or in your router and put in for the setup on connect-bot your Pi’s IP address, port 22, User root, pass root. At that point you should be able to connect, it will ask (for the first time you connect) Are you sure you trust this connection, tell it yes and you will have command like access to your pi, at which point you can get logs (by following the instructions on the link) and such or even send the reboot command for when you freeze an emulator.
Hi, I’ve had the exact same problem on my Pi3. Enhanced Resolution works fine with 100% performance but the Pi hangs eventually. A bit frustrating because I don’t get the same problem when using Retroarch on a different OS (eg Raspbian).
