If anyone gets the error "pacdrive: error while loading shared libraries: libhid.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" with Retropie 4.4 on a Raspberry Pi, use this command to fix it:

sudo mv /usr/local/lib/libhid.* /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/

It will move the libhid files to the correct location where pacdrive can find them.

@Ecks said in PI3+ and gamecube Emulator:

I know i am a little late on this but having a PC that has 2.56GHz and 8GB of memory you need a good GPU as well because i have an old system which is using a Athlon 5350 with 8gb memory and a HD 7750 and i am able to emulate Gamecube and PS2 games perfectly fine and also the Athlon 5350 is clocked in at 2.05GHz quad core which is why i believe if they would make a Pi 4 it should be able to handle 2.5D PS2/Gamecube games and higher graphic mame games without any problems.

I'll admit cpu frequency is not the most accurate indicator, you would need more proper benchmark, however :

it seems your Athlon 5350 @2.05 Ghz actually has better single thread performance than my pentium N3710 @2.56Ghz at the same cpu frequency, i expect an arm cpu to be slower than a x86 cpu (i always heard the old rpi1@700Mhz was roughly equivalent to an old pentium2@400Mhz in terms of single thread performance) your expectations are way too high about the gpu for the next raspberry, even if the future VC5 was any good, i doubt it would outperform the desktop class gpu included in my pentium N3710

If you want GBA emulation on Vita, then mGBA Vita is the best.

Thank you!!

I thought I was going crazy! Weird thing is I just dismissed Sonic 3 as I really don't remember playing it all that often. I remember getting frustrated that the first level, trying to be a bit like Green Hill Zone, was really slow moving and wasn't interested at all. Obviously I must have deleted the memory where we went onto play the rest of the game!

@roslof @VictimRLSH I just compared videos of the arcade version and the snes version of Race Drivin'. Wow, I am puzzled how the publishers of the snes version didn't see that horrible frame rate and say, "ok guys, nice try, but we can't sell THAT". 😵

edit: That said, I couldn't stop playing Stunt Car Racer on the Amiga back in those days. But although it also has a painfully low frame rate by today's standards, it played very well as far as I can remember. Maybe nostalgia, but maybe not. 😉

@mitu ok thank you.i will open a new thread.

@BobHarris that's most likely the issue then. I'll have to search for it myself then, as it is also one of my favorites when i was able to play.

@brimby It is overwhelmingly likely that European ROM files will be using the old PAL standard. Most emulators will run the game internally at 50fps but output 60fps to modern displays if you set them to do so. That means the unoptimized PAL ports that ran at incorrect speeds on original hardware will still have that problem preserved in most emulators at. If a game also had an NTSC release in a language that you can read, it's generally recommended that you use that file instead.

@spartrekus The right tool for the right job.

@RedBatman No pc release? :-( I never played Crash Team Racing, but always thought that it looks good. The only Mario Kart clones I played and finished was Diddy Kong Racing and Sonic & All-Stars Transformed, and it was worth it. I would play CTR too. I wonder why it does not get a pc port, it comes for all consoles and the Crash Bandicoot remaster also got pc release.

I had the same issue. Putting one of the BIOS files in the \retropie\bios folder fixed the issue for me. https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Playstation-1

Hi chernandezba

I really like your work :)

I read that zesarux also emulates MK14, zxspecnext, QL. Are those available in the retropie version? I've installed via the above (changing line 26 to point to - https://github.com/chernandezba/zesarux.git etc) - but note the .sh only adds spectrum, amstrad, samcoupe.

I see the machine options in the menu.

Do you please (please!) have plans to add the other systems to retropie build, or advise how to force emulation direct into each machine?

TIA

Iain

@mitu

Great, no I've never answer my own post, I do talk to myself though, no one else will listen.

I did see the notifications indicator, when I first joined the forum I didn't set up the notifications. I did so now I get an email when some one replies.

Thanks again for the help
John

@thelostsoul said in Super CLASH Bros (demo version):

Or do you mean it got the same gameplay idea?

Yes

@tobas i own 2 hori FC for ps3/ps4/pc (the previous & asymetric model), they are great, especially for saturn or fighting games similar to street fighter.

@mitu I was hoping to get rid of Android itself, so RetroPie could replace the OS. Then RetroArch would be the next best thing to it.

If anyone have experience with it and reading this, please report here. I am curious.

@Breadbin As long as the system has 4 working controllers (regardless of how they're connected), it should work. The only possible configuration would be in the emulator options, to enable multi-tap if it's not the default.

@mitu the zx spectrum emulator, lr-fuse I think

@paffley Edit my posting: The Revenge of Shinobi is the last title in the list. I wonder also why.
