How did you download a core?

Sonic the Hedgehog running, just not so smooth like on real Sega Genesis or my PC I also wonder why even Atari 2600 games do not run smooth in full screen mode.

If you have a Pine64 board then just try this - I did all the hard work for you. Its a heavily modified ubuntu image that launches an optimised Retroarch build on boot (note that exiting Retroarch powers down the board).

I have Pinebook only, so I think I will not use this, but thanks anyway.

I wonder why is 2D graphics so slow when DRM is enabled and fast while it is disabled. I see the difference mainly when moving the windows etc. in KDE Plasma.

Yeah, I noticed that too... DRM sucks when just doing normal desktop-y stuff (there you go tkaiser... that's the benchmarking for you... it sucks :-P - and it will have to remain empirical benchmarking for now as the tools I've tried so far don't wanna work on the pinebook) ... but now that there is a proper enable/disable script (thanks ayufan!) I'm leaving it disabled and re-enabling my nice software composition effects ... too many white flashing boxes and other artefacts just doing things like dragging a window or opening a caja window for me to warrant leaving it on for everyday use. But that's fine for me atm... I don't do anything that warrants needing DRM AND 'normal' 2D performance atm, so I can live with that.

Can you check how it works with fbturbo?
I would expect the performance to be roughly the same, as it doesn't really differ.

What is fbturbo?

Wizzard, since you were keen on trying retroarch on the Pinebook please run this script on a ubuntu minimal image
