@mitu
i just checked an im actually runnin ver 4.4, i can download other emulators and run them on a separate pc and see if they recognize the save files, but it will have to be later. Thanks for the help

On a PC, RetroPie will need an X server to run and you should have that functioning before starting the installation.
The dependencies are just a few small packages (libSDL mainly and a few other libs) and on a straight Ubuntu install the base RetroPie install should be less then 800 Mb. However, since installation on a PC will compile everything, quite a few -dev packages will be installed (mostly X related) and take space during the installation itself - you can remove them after installation is finished.
If you add more emulators, the RetroPie installation might take more space, but not considerably. I expect the ROM folder and the scraped artwork (video/images) to take (a lot) more than a RetroPie install. If you managed to get your base installation under 5 GB, I think the installation to be fine and still have space to spare. Make sure you have a supported distro - Debian/Ubuntu.

@quicksilver it sure does. I know support for Chd v5 was added to the Libretro core last year, it looks it was added for the standalone emulator also.

@dudleydes That's great information too. Thanks.

From a cursory look two possible solutions:

Make sure your priorities.xml file for the folder/system ZX Spectrum does use screenscraper first, then gamesdb, then import for the title. For manual import you need a template (definitions.dat) with all ###xy### strings (including ###TITLE###) and a actual XML-snippet with the concrete values. The only differences between the template and the XML-snippet must be the the ###xy### strings and the concrete values. Keep withspaces, no reordering, nothing. And -but I guess you did- the file to be imported must be named like the romfilename but without extension.

HTH

PS: Good to see you solved it just before my reply. :-)

@toto2000 I would copy past the info you provided into a new thread. Its not going to get as much visibility here.

@mitu Hey thank you for the update. :-) Next time I update my RetroPie, I will check it out.

@anferknee Please add more info about your set-up, as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@ReallyRandy Please add the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first to your post. Have you updated your RetroPie-setup script before attempting the installation ?

@chernandezba said in ZEsarUX - Keeps falling back to 3-frame frameskip:

@chernandezba

Ah, thank you. I've changed this over SSH for the time being through emulators.cfg as I don't have access to the device in question but I'll give it a try later and see how it performs.

Incidentally, ZEsarUX is an incredible piece of work. I hope to use it at some point to develop a game or two for the Next :)

@megaJekan as said in your other thread, 480p is unnecessary for a pi3b+ and pcsx. psx emulation has been running full speed on pis since the pi2. if you're getting slowdown at 1080p and NO shaders, you have a system issue.

as for curvature shaders - zfast should be full speed at 1080p on most games and is the fastest one available. they won't look at 480p as it's just not enough resolution for that effect to look good. it's not enough resolution for a non-curved scanline shader...

I know is old thread but i want to let know lr-hatari is fixed now and works, big step from standard Hatari imho. Hope that helps people interested.

Hi all
I have modified the @hiulit script here so it can run on a generic host with VAAPI hardware encoding

Actually, scratch that. I see now the game is still running fast, no matter what. I have suggested myself by the fact that it actually is still quite playable and some minigames (hospital, top down ants) look normal. The rest, I thought maybe it's down to my NTSC TV. But after comparing it with a cycle-exact version on my PC it's definitely a bit faster.

So I've spent the whole evening yesterday trying to sort it out, to no avail. I've also remembered discussions about this subject here over a year ago: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/post/105234
Basically it boils down to RPi's Amiga emus lacking the cycle exact option. Some games require it, especially in WHDLoad versions. Barbarian is another good example. The "solution" was to run adfs of these games instead, but for ICFTD it does not work either. Bummer.

@codumke That is not something that can just be enabled by software, it has to be supported by hardware, and it is not on the Pi.

@xcom97 Like @quicksilver said, it is mostly the same ROM set, though learning how to use CLRMAMEPRO to verify and build/upgrade a MAME 2003 Plus from your current MAME 2003 set is the advised thing to do.

Nope. No changes before or during launching of the game, with the only change post launch in the RetroArch Quick Menu's Options changing digital and analog to digital-only.

And if you didn't know, MAME 2003 Plus is under Experimental Packages called lr-mame2003-plus.

Also, I should mention I'm on an overclocked RPi3B running a arm_freq=1350 and core_freq=550.

So, if you aren't on a RPi3B+ (that should perform as well if not better since I know the core_freq only has small effect on the emulation I'm doing), then the slowdown you'll encounter might be worse (I forget if Frameskip is available in MAME 2003 Plus like it is in FBA).
