Pcsx rearmed raspberry pi 4

I do not have a BIOS installed (yet, not having worked out how to do that) but I'm not sure that would solve the problem.ġ. While I had my concerns about the Pi having enough grunt to emulate a PSx to the point where games are playable, I do wonder if there is anything I can do to enhance performance. From that my guess is that PCSX ReARMed is not multi-threading and uses only one core. A quick look at 'top' in the console reveals a total load of around 1.50 to 1.80. The games run extremly slowly and jittery with gaps in the audio, and the video is too laggy and halting to be useable.

On the RPi3B it works, but the Pi is obviously not oomphy enough. I am able to play these games on PCSX Reloaded on my Ubuntu laptop, so the images are fine. I just managed to get PCSX ReARMed running on my RPI3B with LE 9.0.2 with BIN/CUE images that I have made from my old PS1 ROMs (legally bought).
