I’ve tried to setup this Retroarch script/addon, but the games are slow and I get no audio. I’m using a Homatics Box R4K plus, android 12.8.5221 version, latest NG CE. To be honest, I’d love to just use the bundled retroplayer (it’s working well - no audio or video problems - for NES, Mega drive, Master System and Atari 2600 game), but there are some emulators missing (like flycast for Dreamcast games). Any suggestions?
Buy better tv box which have good cpu (it means with 4 core as cortex A7x, and sure not only cores of cortex A 5x = therefore also s928x or coming s905x5 is useless in retroarch) and have to available cooler as ugoos am6plus or n2+. You need also read forum for retroarch or youtube for noobs and also check information after run core (without content).
Which cores/ games are slow? If you are talking about game for flycast or ppsspp you can expect low performance with this kind of hardware.
For the audio issue is it not clear if you don’t get audio for any core or in specific cases.
Please provide more details and a retroarch.log with DEBUG level set both for frontend and core.
In the audio options of the addon from kodi UI there is a setting to have in retroarch the same audio device set in kodi, double check the setting is enabled.
Also from retroarch you can try different audio output drivers.
Thanks for the feedback.
I could manage to get proper audio/video sync in Retroarch with dreamcast games. I turned on the threaded rendering and auto skip frames options in the core options. I still didn’t try other cores because they work well with the default retroplayer. Do you know why the Flycast emulator is not included in the Coreelec repo? Would be much easier to work with it instead of relying on retroarch.
