They said “home consoles”, which is still a bunk claim. The Wii was, internally, an upgraded GameCube that could still play GC games using GC controllers and memory cards; and then Wii got its own upgrade…

Thank you, this is good, something new to try since the logs aren’t showing anything amiss. I think we’re on the right track because I did find a forum post of someone looking at pulseaudio causing similar but not identical video issues even though audio is not stuttering.

The weird lag only happens in the windows of Wine executables. Nothing else is affected even if I leave winecfg or a game open in the background.

I actually verified the same behavior on a fresh LMDE6 install. I may raise the issue on their forums and look into your suggestions this weekend.

I have been open to venturing out of stable territory and playing with newer software on this particular machine… so I’m trying EndeavourOS! It also took a lot of fuckery just to make Wine games work in Lutris out-of-the-box, but I learned a bit along the way.

I use Remmina with RDP plugin. Works great!

It was somehow a TV setting that I’ve never changed in this process. Post updated.

Holy shit, double-checking this actually sent me in the right direction!

I missed it because it’s not in the normal picture settings, but Menu > Input Settings > HDMI-1 > Full HD Color… defaults to Off, but when turned On, 4K@60 is now available in KDE Display Configuration! 🤦‍♂️

Thank you!

That’s what I was afraid of. I wouldn’t buy Nvidia these days, but this is my best PC and it was a hand-me-down. Looking the gift horse in the mouth: mobo has broken Secure Boot (pk.fail) and video card doesn’t work right in Linux. 😂

Thanks!

There is not. I have it on the input that was working in 4K@59.94 on Debian.

Yes, the card only has one HDMI and I have the cable back in the TV’s HDMI1 that was working with 3840x2160@59.94 in Debian.

No difference running without Lutris.

Goddamnitall, I thought I had a lead on GameMode being the issue, but the lag is back now. Fuck NVIDIA, but this is the best PC I have and it was a hand-me-down so I did not choose it. The games still run perfectly 1 out of 20 times, wtf…

I don’t believe so, I do not see the option either.

On further testing, the problem appears to be GameMode-related, disabling that makes Wine programs run without the lag. However, Also, now attempting to run Wine programs in fullscreen (any resolution) causes the whole system to severely lag and it takes a very long time to Alt-Tab out or Ctrl-Alt-Fkey into a tty session.

Edit: I forgot that I wanted to clarify that this is not a video playback issue, the lag happens in all Wine windows, even winecfg. I clicked back and forth repeatedly between config tabs and was also able to notice the lag there.

You should have a display enable/disable switch in LMDE’s “Display” settings GUI, though it shouldn’t be necessary? Please try another (few) cable(s) because they do vary. Anecdote: I’ve heard of Samsungs being picky like this and only refusing to work with that one device you are trying to use.

Edit: Can your mouse pointer or windows get to the missing screen? Also xrandr -q shows display status.

Lakka is the official Linux distribution of RetroArch and libretro. It’s built on LibreELEC.

…and you have to be a Nintendo Switch Online member (or go to New York Nintendo Store) to even purchase it. Scalpers…

It collects sleep-tracking data for you (and Nintendo’s partners) to view, like other devices in this price range and beyond.

nmap’s seeing the 1-9999 as the next argument (expecting an IP address). In -Pn, the n is a placeholder for the port numbers you want to scan, so you want -P1-9999

Don’t remind me. I need a PVM to go with it. 😅 Although, I actually like the 240p composite video on the Trinitron TV, it looks exactly like it did back-in-the-day and indistiguishable from the real consoles’ composite output.

The Lakka image I’m using is well-tuned with noticably less lag than some Pi setups I’ve seen. Interested Pi owners can find it here.

I can’t find it, but someone has been collecting stats on input lag for many different USB gamepads/controllers as well.

I was shocked at how badly I was playing Symphony of the Night on a PS Vita TV with a DualShock 4… it turned out to be the input lag… of an real Sony controller on a real Sony console. Connect it by USB cable - noticable lag went away. 🤬
