Mods of PS1 games
-
Hey guys, so i've bought my retropie specially to play some PS1 games of my childhood. With the intention to have a new experience while playing some of these games (like chrono cross or the legend of dragoon) i've searched and found that these games have some mods made by fans, usually called hardmode mods. I talk to one of those fans to ask about the possibility to run his mod on retropie, and he said that he didn't know how i could make it work, since it seems that i need to execute a .exe to install the mod. Does anyone have already installed a mod like this or at least tried?
on his guide to install his mod, he asks to install some stuff, and i don't know which one of them are already on retropie and which one can/cannot be installed on retropie too. Maybe the mod can be installed without any of these stuff, since most of them he says that is optional. These are that name (NOT THE LINK) of the stuff he ask to install along with his rom:ePSXe (Required, Recommend v2.0.5)
Difficulty Modifier (Required, if you still haven’t got it for some reason)
GSDx (Optional) (A DirectX 9/11 plugin that works on ePSXe and PCSX2. Uses CPU rendering, supports multi-threading, located in the plugins folder named GSdx32-XXXX.dll,where XXXX is your CPU type, most likely AVX)
Reshade (Optional) (A shader for DX8+ games, works with GSDx)
Pete’s OpenGL2 Driver 2.9 (Optional) (An OpenGL 2 graphics plugin that works on ePSXe 1.9.25 and under, it is not needed in ePSXe 2.0.0 or higher as it already has it)
P.E.Op.S. Sound Audio Driver 1.10b (Optional) (A sound plugin, if you want a more “crisp” sound)
PsxFX (Optional) (A custom shader I use with the GPU core plugins)
PsxFX Custom (Optional) (My custom settings for PsxFX. It also contains a working version for AMD GPUs I edited and a screenshot of how the game looks with each setting)
*Remember to put the .DLL files for the plugins in the plugins folder!Any help, please??

@vahnxdean If the mods just modify/patch the original game, you just need to apply the patch to the game (on the PC) and then copy the modified/patched game to the ROM folder (psx). This is similar to rom hacking patching (apply an IPS patch to an original ROM to get a new version).

@vahnxdean if you are using a raspberry pi then you have a problem if it requires epsxe as the pi doesn’t have that emulator.

can you tell me why epxse dont run on pi? is there any hope of pi to run this emulator?

It's x86-based software and closed source I believe. You might try the ePSXe forum to see if there are any plans for a port.
