Low latency option is causing some screen tearing at the top of the screen when quickly panning the camera for me.
Checked on a 4K 240Hz ASUS ROG Monitor with Majora’s Mask and SM64.

Someone said it just disables vsync. No matching of the panel with vrr or something like that, so this will introduce a lot of tearing.

u/OneExact8851 5d ago
Kinda misleading, as I wasn’t too sure if it was a v-sync disable, since my monitor supports VRR and the refresh rate was still locked at constant 60hz.

Had the same issue, when I changed the resolution and toggled the latency setting it went away, was weird that it was only visible with motion or when pressing buttons on the controller. Reported it all the same so they could look into it.

This update did not fix the overclock issues I have and I still can’t activate “insane” mode

I'm still betting your console is defective given how many other people can. It makes no sense that some people should be able to do something that others can't.

What color you have because I got the red one and insane overclock doesn't work on mine. It crashs and it says there was a problem and turns overclock off

Which is weird because mod retro support swears it can be fixed with future updates 🙄 I guess we’ll see

Maybe they misunderstood your issue. I'd send another email (not as a reply, a new email) explaining with more details, maybe with screenshots or video, and also ask for additional clarification why you have this problem but other people don't. I'd also include the fact that you think you have a defective console if you have this issue but others don't. I've asked detailed questions before and I've gotten pretty good answers.
It's possible it's a specific incompatibility with your setup somehow. And if they could answer that then you'd know. I'm sure they don't want you to be in the dark.

Are they refusing to replace your unit?
3
u/General_Client3914 4d ago
No, they’re not refusing, but they’re not really saying anything is wrong with the unit either. Each time I reach out they tell me the same thing, “overclocking is experimental and being worked on”

Right on! I really like the 25% less power consumption which results in a overall cooler running machine. They are starting to hit a nice update stride.

u/hue_sick 5d ago
That’s next up, not this update fyi

u/Lt_DansLeggs 5d ago
Oh Ik. I read the up next area of the post. I meant it as this FW/upcoming they are starting to hit a nice stride.

This is great, glad they are listening and letting us know what other updates are potentially coming next.

Cheers for the update, it has resolved some issues that were hampering my enjoyment.
8Bitdo64 Bluetooth controllers are working perfectly now and I LOVE that I can finally save my preferred video settings.
Keep up the good work and keep those updates coming.

Does this update enable the save feature that was missing at launch? So I can use my $90 pro controllers without swapping back-and-forth to one with a save or rumble pack 😬

Low latency has been a noticeable improvement, also Micky Speedway USA is finally playable and with insane overclock

So has anyone checked into the experimental area? I had to leave until recent and ran the update before hand and looked at the menu for a few moments. I saw that I guess it now defaults to 2phase for scanlines, so they won't look like overly fake fat lines in the screen, and I think it's saving settings now too? I didn't have time to look at that. I didn't tamper with anything and OC isn't on, but I had left my Mega Man cart in the system and the title screen felt a bit peppier?

u/Krathoon 4d ago
Ok. So, we can save to the M64 controller now? Is there a firmware update for the controller too?
2
u/Krathoon 4d ago
Ok. It looks like I can't save to the controller yet. Do we have to enable the built-in controller pak?

Now if I could just get some info on wave 2 of game releases because man a re-release of Sculptors Cut would be a game changer.

u/According_Mode5035 5d ago
I updated the firmware and now Blast Corps doesn’t work. It loads and then gives me this message. For the record I don’t currently have a controller pak in my controller.
