@ifixcoinops @craigmaloney Hmm, what are you using for input?

FWIW, I've got a RetroPie bartop thing here that has buttons & joystick connected to GPIO pins and input is totally snappy.

I've also got over 2.5amp of power available to the Pi, so that may or may not be the problem you're seeing.

@alana holy crap, I just did the math on my cell number and it goes back at least 18 years. aaaaaaaaaa
