copy controller cfg to psx`?

naddel81

although I have all the bios files in the BIOS folder and additionally in BIOS/psx it still tells me there is no BIOS found? is that not the right folder?

@naddel81 Either your psx RetroArch or global RetroArch is wrong.

[WARN] SYSTEM DIR is empty, assume CONTENT DIR /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx/Tekken 3 (USA).cue
[INFO] Environ SYSTEM_DIRECTORY: "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx/".

That's why the BIOS is not found and probably that's why the mapping doesn't work, although I see some auto-configuration taking place.

Replace the psx system retroarch.cfg with

# Settings made here will only override settings in the global retroarch.cfg if placed above the #include line

input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/psx/"

#include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg"

in the /opt/retropie/configs/psx folder and try again.
You either enabled Save on Exit in RetroArch or just saved your configuration from the RGUI when you started a psx game. Are you using a stock RetroPie image ?

naddel81

yes, I did save on exit. now I copied the global /all retroarch.cfg to the psx folder and replaced the old one. it seems to be working fine now. how can I prevent this from happening again?

thanks for your help!!!

Don't use save ? Also, this is not what I recommended you to do, so YMMV.

but when I don`t save I have to recreate the settings every time I play. that is "enhance resolution" etc.
btw: does it really double the geometry resolution (not textures) so it is 2x antialiasing? I do not see a difference in enhanced and normal resolution. only bilinear filtering has a visible influence on the visual quality. do I have to restart for it to take effect?

@naddel81 Those are Core Options and are saved automatically into a different file - you don't need to save them.

naddel81

good to know. so "save on configuration" is OFF for my own safety, right? ;)

is there an option to see the CPU load in retroarch? I would like to test the influence of different graphical settings on the system load.

You can display the FPS in the RetroArch GUI unter Settings > Onscreen Display > Onscreen Notifications.

edit: Also, if you use the Retropie image for the Pi or installed on any other kind of Linux system, you could ssh into it and use the command top to see the system load of the retroarch process. You can stop top by pressing the q key.

naddel81

great, will try that. because pure FPS does not tell the system load. it could be the game and/or emulator that is not running smooth at a constant framerate. but with system load I can clearly see if my CPU or GPU are at maximum.

naddel81

emulator (lr-pcsx) runs at 60 frames, although the game (in my case NTSC Tekken 3) does not even feel like that. am I right that 60 fps emulating a game does not necessarily mean the game itself runs at that framerate?
