Hello everyone,
I have posted this issue in the LaunchBox forums, but they were stumped with the issue that I have, and told me to try posting in here.
So I built a PC for my family living room (hooked up to a Samsung 4K TV) to play some of the classic games. It has a Intel i5 6500 clocked at 3.2GHz and 8GB of RAM. It uses the Intel HD Graphics 530 for graphics. I got Project64 up, and most N64 games run really well. Some minor hiccups, but still really well.
However, there’s a weird issue that I’m running into. So I downloaded RetroArch, and tried setting it up for SNES games. I also tried using the the BSNES balanced core, as well as the snes9x core. However, SNES games just run really slow. I found that turning on Threading does fix it, but I’ve also been told that it’s really meant for lower end PC’s. When I had it hooked up to my 1080 monitor in my room, it plays the games fine, so I’m really stumped. I did set the TV to gaming mode, but that didn’t help it either.
Could anyone here shed some light on this?
