Why? Frankly I do not know, but that seems to be my best settings for acceptable scrolling.Ĭompared to this, the output on a 144 Hz GSync gaming monitor is impeccable, no micro-stuttering at all. Settings/Video/Synchronization/Max swapchain images - 2 ![]() Settings/Video/Synchronization/Automatic Frame Delay - OFF Settings/Video/Output/Estimated Screen Refresh Rate: let Retroarch run until you reach 2048 samples, then the deviation should be below 3.5%, press RETURN to transfer this refresh rate to the Vertical Refresh Rate setting above ![]() These are the topics you need to closely look into: Warning: If you look for this in the Internet, you get hundreds of best combinations, it's not an easy thing to choose, and this is my best guess. If your scrolling shows some micro-stuttering and you have (like me) a Fixed Refresh Rate Monitor running at 60 hz, you can only achieve acceptable results, which never will be optimal. With the "Force 60 Hz" Core Option of FinalBurn No, the following is virtually irrelevant, but I leave it here: This very new feature is described in this article very nicely.ĪLTERNATIVE VIDEO CONFIG: No Automatic Frame Delay, but Max swapchain images reduced to 2 You can also choose this feature alone for reducing latency if you do not want to head for the Runahead feature described before. While all other default video sync options seem ok for arcade games, this one seems to further help in reducing latency. VIDEO CONFIG (new): Force 60 Hz (Quick Menu/Core Options) It's always an alternative to save a Save State (again, unless you play in the RetroAchievement Hardcore Mode, where Save States are not allowed). If hiscore works with some games but not with others, the game itself probably does not yet support it. You can easily check whether it works with 1942 or 1943. You must manually download the hiscore.dat file in Main Menu/Online Updater/Core System Files Downloader Hiscore support must be enabled in the FinalBurn Neo core options (it's enabled by default) It's another great development that hiscore support gradually arrives in FinalBurn Neo, even if you have Preemptive Frames/Runahead enabled. Where hiscores do not work, consider as Save State (unless you play in the Hardcore Mode of RetroAchievements, where Save States are forbidden). With newer versions of FinalBurn Neo, also highscores start working together with these settings. With the Preemptive Frames/Run-Ahead feature of RetroArch, you get very snappy gaming experience with zero latency. By this, all games run by FinalBurn Neo run this shader. If you like what you see, go back into the Menu and head for Save/Save Core Preset. Load a Shader Preset in shaders_slang/CRT – for a change, try crt-easymode-halation.īriefly switch back to the game and see whether it works. Once you turn Video Shaders ON, you load a shader preset Set a nice and easy CRT Shader (in Main Menu/Quick Menu/Shaders):Īfter setting Video Shaders to ON, also set Remember Last Used Shader Directory to ON. By pressing the Menu Combo (configured above) you get into the Quick Menu of RetroArch, where all the following settings can be configured.Īlways remember: Without a running game, the configuration of the Quick Menu is not available. These settings will still apply to all games, unless you decide differently. Make friends with the Quick Menu! One of the peculiar things in RetroArch is that some important settings can only be done from within a running game. ![]() Expect no glorious picture, as no shaders have been set so far.įURTHER SETUP FROM WITHIN A RUNNING GAME (in Main Menu/Quick Menu) You will save a lot of time if you point RetroArch to your game directory, otherwise you need to go down from the root directory all the time.įIRST START OF FINALBURN NEO (in Main Menu/Load Content/Start Directory) Only now you can do your first start into FinalBurn Neo, best by choosing one of your favorite arcade games. With the help of the RetroArch Discord community, there are some interesting differences between the Steam version and the Standalone version: Run it for the first time, and it will create a new directory in ~Library/Application Support Steam Version I installed the Steam version of RetroArch on my Mac for testing purposes (with quite some hesitation, as I otherwise do not use Steam). Install RetroArch into your Applications directory. They are located in ~youruser~/Library/Application Support/ RetroArch (just rename the entire directory for the time being). Move away old RetroArch Preferences: Can be very important if you screwed up earlier! Prior to installing and running a new RetroArch version, consider backing up/deleting from here previous preferences. ![]() Drag this folder it into the Finder Favorites on the left, so that it's easily accessible. and all hidden directories appear, including the Library directory in your user directory. The ~Library directory is a hidden directory: press command+shift+.
