Thanks for the update. This is very good info.
Can you give a quick recap/overview of what settings and LCD option you're using now, just so we all know what you're optimal setup is?
Sure thing.
As of right now, I'm using your Freeplay image based on RetroPie 4.3, with a stock /boot/config.txt, stock Freeplayfbcp.cfg, no Emulation Station video splashscreen, with the new fbcpZero LCD driver.
I've reverted my /boot/config.txt to the stock config that comes with your image. Before, I had overclock settings in there to raise the core_freq up to 600MHz and a few others. The core_freq in particular will screw up the new LCD driver, because the divisor relies on the Pi's default 400MHz core_freq. I removed the rest of my overclock settings to minimize any interference.
I also had set the speed of the LCD as high as it would go (83310000 was the cap for me) to maximize the performance on the default driver. That is now at the default 80000000, just in case. My Freeplayfbcp.cfg is set to 60 FPS. Before, it was set to 120 to maximize speed of the default LCD driver.
I have disabled my splashscreen too. For some reason, having a video splashscreen will cause the display to stop updating with the new LCD driver. I have not tested a static splashscreen however. That very well could work fine with the new LCD driver. Maybe I will test this later.
