@nanochess The issue has been fixed and has been reported accordingly to sdl. Colecovision is now blipping and bleeping again on RetroPie. More information below: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/7741/colecovision-sound-stutters/33

@nanochess I have an update to the slow down issue in RetroPie. The project leader has discovered that the problem was introduced with the sdl2.0.5 update. His findings in his own words can be found below. https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/7741/colecovision-sound-stutters/26

@the_xman Shaders and overlays are a feature of the libretro cores. Being a standalone emulator, CoolCV would have to implement something similar separately. @nanochess I really have to compliment you on CoolCV. I've been enjoying it immensely on my Raspberry Pi 3 since it was included in RetroPie last year. Unfortunately, as mentioned earlier, it is currently all but unplayable there now due to a mysterious slow down issue. As also mentioned, the project leader at RetroPie has been made aware of the problem, but depending on the cause, it might be that very little can be done on RetroPie's end to solve the issue. I've personally tried many things to alleviate the problem, such as setting the framebuffer to lower color depths, as well as testing multiple resolutions and overclock settings. All the while CoolCV, never takes up more than 30% of the CPU while performing so slowly. I noticed above that you're already considering certain features for your next version. My hope here is that you consider including RetroPie specifically as a testing bed for the Raspberry Pi version in the future if you are not already doing so, as it will be where countless people will come into contact with the software. In whatever way this project progresses, I'd just like to thank you for the many hours I was able to enjoy the software in the past year. 'Princess Quest' was a particular treat to play and I look forward to seeing anything else you produce going forward. Thanks again for all your hard work and for your time here.
