Games running slow after 4.1 update

Post by Siava1018 » Sat Dec 10, 2016 8:42 am

Hey guys, I updated my Zero to 4.1 via the menu and after that I started to get slow down on snes and some nes games. So I did a clean install and its still doing the same thing, I also swapped SD cards and its still the same. Was something changed in 4.1 or did i not set something up right?

I also had quite a bunch of issues with 4.1 and even commited them all as bug reports. Unanswered so far. :lol:

Well, end of the story: I downgraded back to 4.0.2, that one is working perfect for me.
Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to inform you that I am currently moving very far away, and therefore I am very busy.

UPDATE: I am still alive! My ISP is setting up my internet on the 19th of January at my new place, explaining my offline-ness.

If you write me a PM, I will very likely take some time to respond.

Also, my 2nd build will soon go on, so if you've been following it, please stay tuned! :)

Many thanks for your understanding!

Is there an easy way to downgrade without reflashing a new image? I'd like to keep my settings if possible

any news on this? i'm also having terrible bad performance in all emulators... running 4.1 on pi zero with pwm audio, safeshutdown script running, controls on teensy, etc...
as someone asked is it possible to "downgrade" the version? otherwise transferring configs is easy? i already made a copy of config.txt but don't know other configs location (controls, etc...)
thanks

EDIT: i have 640x480 res at config.txt as i'm using 640x480 screen
