Performance of PiPlay (not the emulations)
  • HilliboHillibo
    Hello,

    I think PiPlay takes very long to boot and also it takes very long to switch between games (I'm using a Raspberry Pi Model B with 512MB RAM).

    Has anyone looked into what is taking so long during bootup and during switching between different MAME4All games, for example?

    Can't we speed this up? I'm willing to help.

    I have another Raspberry Pi Model B with just 256MB of RAM and it runs OpenELEC with Kodi very nicely. It boots up extremely fast. Maybe we should look at how they do it.

    I think the GUI is too heavyweight. What exactly happens when I switch between one MAME4ALL game to another? It seems to be loading a lot of stuff.

    The problem is that there is a lot of config/database files that have to get read into the system before it can display the current theme + rom list. I moved my piplay folders to a fast usb thumbdrive and then just created symlinks. My load times are pretty negligible after doing that.
