Use when a Batocera cabinet feels slow, laggy, or stuttery, or when tuning performance: EmulationStation menu/carousel lag, a slow-since-boot frontend, CPU governor stuck in powersave, overclock or CPU-speed core options that seem to do nothing, run-ahead / input latency, framerate that drops the longer the machine runs, or a 3D-heavy game (PSX/PS2/Dreamcast/N64 class) that crashes or stutters — Vulkan errors in emulator logs, picking a rendering resolution or graphics backend the hardware can…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Batocera Tuning Performance: why the frontend or a game runs slow, and how to fix it. Assumes the connection pattern and `batocera.conf` model from `batocera-ops`. The theme throughout: **diagnose the machine state before blaming config, themes, or gamelists.** Most "it got slow" reports are a throttle or a leak, not the thing the user suspects. ## Diagnostic order for "the frontend is slow" Work down this list; each step is one command and rules out a whole class: 1. **CPU governor.** A frontend that is laggy *from cold boot* and stays laggy through a reboot is almost always the CPU stuck in `powersave`: ```bash SSHB "cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor" ``` If it says `powersave` despite `system.cpu.governor=performance`, see the governor fix below. This is step 1 because it's the most common cause and the cheapest check. 2. **ES event hooks.** Lag that gets *progressively worse* as you navigate, and is cured only by an ES restart, points at a slow/leaky ES event hook. ES runs every executable in its scripts dirs on menu events — a `system-selected` hook …

How to install
mdr add t3chnaztea/batocera-skills/batocera-tuning@sha256:65faa66047b8d580The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260704.7dd30bb, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
