      @FAB2TB said in psx multitap retroarch 4 players:

      @dankcushions there is no "lr-pcsx_rearmed" in the optional packages menu only "pcsx_rearmed" so the update comes from the supposed right place and it does not work without doing the trick I explained above

      that's because i didn't say the 'optional packages' menu, i said the 'main packages' menu :)

      manage packages > manage main packages > lr-pcsx_rearmed

      lr-pcsx_rearmed is main, pcsx_rearmed is optional.

        OK finally it is working, the only thing is the "default" case is not included in the code here:
        https://github.com/libretro/pcsx_rearmed/commit/17b93a2844f026f8f0d779e9bae698631c746f8a so just set everything to "standard" type and let's have some fun! Thanks a lot Alexis et Big Up de Thonon-les-Bains :)

            @alexis-puska oui c'est nickel maintenant, juste qu'il faut sélectionner "standard" type car "default" ne fonctionne pas donc pas très intuitif pour celui qui n'est pas au courant...en tout cas ça fait bien plaisir de rejouer à tous ces multiplayers tellement fun...à plus et merci encore.

              Maybe add to wiki to set standard or analog insteed of default.

                @dankcushions and @MegamanHxH ... please is it possible to have some help ?

                I have the last Retropie installation with all the last update and lr-pcsx-rearmed updates from the last source code.
                I read all the topic and the Wiki and i configure all fine :

                /opt/retropie/configs/psx/retroarch.cfg : ADD game specific options !

                rewind_enable = "false"
                input_overlay_enable = "true"
                input_overlay = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/overlays/borders/Sony-PlayStation.cfg"
                video_smooth = "true"
                video_shader_enable = "false"
                game_specific_options = "true"
                

                /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg : all is fine configured
                /opt/retropie/configs/psx/pcsx/cfg/SCES_02834-SCES02834.cfg : all is fine configured

                but i can't find these configuration anywhere :(

                frameskip = "0"
                region = "PAL"
                pad1type = "default"
                pad2type = "default"
                pad3type = "default"
                pad4type = "default"
                pad5type = "default"
                pad6type = "default"
                pad7type = "default"
                pad8type = "default"
                multitap1 = "auto"
                multitap2 = "auto"
                drc = "enabled"
                neon_interlace_enable = "disabled"
                neon_enhancement_enable = "enabled"
                neon_enhancement_no_main = "enabled"
                duping_enable = "on"
                spu_reverb = "on"
                spu_interpolation = "simple"
                pe2_fix = "disabled"
                inuyasha_fix = "disabled"
                

                I can only configure them in Retroarch on my TV to have :

                pad1type = "standard"
                pad2type = "standard"
                pad3type = "standard"
                pad4type = "standard"
                pad5type = "standard"
                pad6type = "standard"
                pad7type = "standard"
                pad8type = "standard"
                multitap1 = "enable"
                multitap2 = "enable"
                

                Finally i search on : /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/config/PCSX-ReARMed

                Found : Crash Team Racing (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It,Nl) (EDC) [LC2 Crack by Paradox]

                But nothing save too, only 11 lines in each config file :

                video_scale_integer = "true"
                menu_show_advanced_settings = "true"
                savestate_thumbnail_enable = "true"
                show_hidden_files = "true"
                custom_viewport_width = "1280"
                custom_viewport_height = "960"
                aspect_ratio_index = "22"
                video_refresh_rate = "60.000000"
                input_overlay_opacity = "1.000000"
                

                No more ...
                I try to had the lines by hand but it doesn't works :(

                • Have i forgot something ???
                • Or maybe you must fix the config per game function ???

                If nobody do it, we can't make a CFG file by game to help players.
                I really want to have a solution to have some games with end without the multitape.

                Thanks

                Life is game, just play it !

                  I am not sure about all the code changes being needed..

                  I just open the retroarch GUI (select+X) and then go to controller options and enable the multitap from there. You want to make sure that you are in the "quick menu" NOT the main menu.

                  Then save a game specific configuration and quit the game..then restart the game. Now every time you start that game it will enable the multitap every time you start the game without having to go into the GUI...works every time.

                  People want things easy...but then complain that life is boring...

                    @akafox No, you don't read or understand me :(
                    Have you try to do it yourself ??

                    I already do that, i always do that ... for each system ... when i have a game with specific configuration.
                    But it 's not working on PSX :(
                    On PSX with lr-pcsx-rearmed when you change something and save it for a game, it save it for the core !!!
                    And you have this option for all the games :(
                    I think there is a bug in the Retroarch Menu code of PSX ...

                    PSX options are ONLY saved in this file for all the games :
                    /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-core-options.cfg

                    pcsx_rearmed_frameskip = "0"
                    pcsx_rearmed_region = "PAL"
                    pcsx_rearmed_pad1type = "standard"
                    pcsx_rearmed_pad2type = "standard"
                    pcsx_rearmed_pad3type = "standard"
                    pcsx_rearmed_pad4type = "standard"
                    pcsx_rearmed_pad5type = "standard"
                    pcsx_rearmed_pad6type = "standard"
                    pcsx_rearmed_pad7type = "standard"
                    pcsx_rearmed_pad8type = "standard"
                    pcsx_rearmed_multitap1 = "disabled"
                    pcsx_rearmed_multitap2 = "disabled"
                    pcsx_rearmed_drc = "enabled"
                    pcsx_rearmed_neon_interlace_enable = "enabled"
                    pcsx_rearmed_neon_enhancement_enable = "enabled"
                    pcsx_rearmed_neon_enhancement_no_main = "enabled"
                    pcsx_rearmed_duping_enable = "enabled"
                    pcsx_rearmed_spu_reverb = "enabled"
                    pcsx_rearmed_spu_interpolation = "simple"
                    pcsx_rearmed_pe2_fix = "disabled"
                    pcsx_rearmed_inuyasha_fix = "disabled"
                    pcsx_rearmed_show_bios_bootlogo = "disabled"
                    

                    Noting more than 11 lines in the games configuration :(
                    A friend try it too, and have same result. Impossible to save a configuration for one game.

                      works for me.

                      can you upload your ENTIRE cfgs?

                      /opt/retropie/configs/psx/retroarch.cfg
                      /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

                          where is this? what's it called? how was it generated?

                          your /all/retroarch.cfg is not a default retropie one (they are a lot smaller), so there could be an issue there.

                            But if you think it can help me, give me yours and i will try it.

                            Do you verify your games CFG files ? Are they saving the PADTYPE and MULTITAP settings ?

                                this is a core override. you should not have one of these, as it may override a game override.

                                  I nerver understand it before but it is my ERROR !!!! so sorry :(
                                  I must use in Options the 1rst line Game-options file !!!!

                                  Now if i understand all fine, there are :

                                  RetroArch general settings for all emulators : /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
                                  RetroArch systems options for all emulators : /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-core-options.cfg

                                  Override RetroArch general settings for PSX : /opt/retropie/configs/psx/retroarch.cfg
                                  Override RetroArch systems options by games : /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/config/PCSX-ReARMed/ ROM NAME.opt
                                  That is a little strange that it copy settings for all the systems and not only the PSX ... easier to code i think.
                                  Gamepad settings by games :/opt/retropie/configs/psx/PCSX-ReARMed/ ROM NAME.rmp

                                  I'm true ? Is it fine ?
                                  Thanks

                                    this is a core override. you should not have one of these, as it may override a game override.

                                    I remove them all .. ok

                                    you didn't say how you're generating them? i'm checking they aren't being generated manually - you should generate them via the RGUI as the wiki instructs: https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Playstation-1#multitap-3-8-player

                                    Yes i read this first and use the WIKI solution from the beginning

                                    My ALL Retroarch config ALL CFG is original, i only change some config with the RETROARCH config in the RETROPIE-SETUP

                                    'some config' :/

                                    Only Hotkeys, filters, some options, nothing more than other emulators...

                                    yes, this has been raised with retroarch but yeah apparently it's hard to code it to just do the psx ones in the psx .opt file(s)

                                        Hi Team,

                                        I am having a similar issue. after enabling Multicap 1 and disabling multicap 2, I can select three players options in CTR, however the third controller won't take any input in the character selection screen.

                                        To fix this, I have to open the quick menu and go to controllers and switch from retro to retro/w analog for user 3, then it will work fine. I have to do this every time I start a three player game.

                                        Anyone has permanent fix for this ?

                                        thanks

                                          Strange, i think you have a bad configuration somewhere :(
                                          In options you must choose standard or analog. And in input the pad that correspond.
                                          You can save the setting for options by game and same for pad.

                                          Life is game, just play it !

                                            @byakuyadx So even after you change all that and get it working you...:

                                            1. Reset the game (not quit) the resume it to make sure it still works
                                            2. Saved a controller configuration file after making changes
                                            3. Go back to the "retroach quick" menu and save a game option and it reads saved successful..
                                            4. Then you quit the game and then restart it..

                                            but the changes don't take effect?

                                            I can't remember the actually hardware setup..my psx is in the attic...but I could swear when we played that game the tap was plugged into the second port of the psx..but again that was years ago....

                                            People want things easy...but then complain that life is boring...
