@Quantoxhead said in DS emulation on Raspberry pi 3?:

Or is that the most efficient one?

I think is the only one that performs well on the Pi3 .

@Arrafart Thank you!

I will see if I can check this tomorrow.

@TPR

It's not merged yet, but I'm sure it will be when the time comes. See: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/pull/3785.

To answer your previous question: yes, the Vulkan driver provides noticeble better performance with the Flycast, Dolphin, and PPSSPP emulators. The extent of the improvement depends on the game.

OK thanks. Those are the emulators I've been using it on.

@shoe0402 Heyyaa!!
I am also building a handheld for myself right now, so getting to the point. The first component you gotta figure out is which Single board computer to go for, which depends on what games you want to play. After you've figured that out, then, you can head on over to figuring out other components.

Thanks @mahoneyt944, but the previous form has more data. I can do more detailed filtering.

A fix for this issue has been added to RetroPie-Setup, making the splashscreen work on any HDMI connected port on the current/old Buster release.

Hello, i recently bought a cabinet that had, what appears to be, a very old i-pac ps/2 controller in it. This particular version does not look like the one on the website here:
https://www.ultimarc.com/control-interfaces/i-pacs/i-pac-2-classic-ps-2-version

The page above doesn't exist - the site shows an error for a missing page.

It does not look like that. The model in my cabinet has two ps/2 ports on opposite ends. They are labeled PC and KBD.

Question is will retropie support this old ipac controller via a ps/2 to usb controller? And if so would I follow the programming instructions here?

I'm not sure, but if the IPAC identifies as a keyboard and it works without additional drivers, then it should be ok - RetroPie (or Linux rather) can use the keyboard.

I’ve got the same question. Any help on this issue?

NOTE: duplicate topic deleted.

To answer your question - there's no repository with old binaries. If you downloaded the image from 2017 it should contain the emulators from that time, there's no need to download something again.

Are you sure you weren't using the standalone PS1 emulator instead of the libretro core ? Perhaps you changed some settings to speed up the libretro core, which are now not present in a default RetroPie image (old and/or new).

My system is up to date. Version of VLC is:

OK, the version is fine; I just have to test 320x240, the lowest working resolution I can generate now is 480p. Could be that vlc behaves differently at such lower resolution and instead of resizing, it just crops the image.
