Recently I updated my switch from 6.1 with 1.7.5 retroarch, to 6.2 and the newest nightly, and now I'm getting a strange slowdown in some games (tested NES and SNES games).

The slowdown happens once in a minute or two, and lasts about 1-2 seconds. Completely randomly, in different parts of the game. Looks like the game just slows down 25% for 2 seconds and then goes back to normal again.

Anyone knows what could be the cause? Any way to find it myself?

EDIT: I installed the old version of retroarch, and the problem is gone. Anything I should try next?

I downloaded the latest nightly and ran retroarch with full ram and I still get slowdown on mario 64. Do 64 games still need to be overclocked to work? If not, what settings should I be changing other than threaded video?

Delete "retroarch_core_options.cfg" from retroarch folder, most of the games should be fullspeed with default settings

thanks.. I went to the options and hit the + on every option (after loading a game) to set options back to default and then saved over the core options. I guess its the same thing but just a different way. I was helped over on their discord. Thanks for your response!

Check the settings under "Settings > Configuration" and make sure Load Content Specific Core Options Automatically" is turned "ON".
Turns out I was stupid. I went to Overrides in quick menu to save a game specific file instead of creating that from within the core options (first entry there).
Now it works and I can save settings per game. Thx. :)

FWIW if you're planning to play through the whole game, most of Mario 64 runs fullspeed without OC, but some parts like the submarine level do need OC.
 
Just a bit of a random question. For playing original gameboy games (B/W) in colour what is the best emu and settings

Many thanks

Gambatte. Head to core options there and you'll find what you've been looking for. Could be that you need the GBC Bios though. Not sure about that as I have that in place.
