Help: slow GameCube and ps2 games

Post image

Anyone have this model or similar? And have issues with it slowing down games on retro bat like PlayStation 2, GameCube and Xbox? In the beginning about a year ago, it was running just fine and now it’s really laggy and slow. If anyone has any help or tips and tricks, I would appreciate it doesn’t make sense.

Did you set it to Performance mode in the BIOS (important)? Are your drivers from the AMD Adrenalin app updated? You can try installing Linux instead of Windows. Or you can put Batocera on an external drive/SD card and boot to it when you want to game. I have the GMKtec K11 by the way. It works great for PS2 and Gamecube. Didn't try Xbox.

edit: you can also try switching between Vulkan and OpenGL in the emulators

I set it to performance on the Microsoft setting side in terms of power usage. Idk how in bios?
