lr-pcsx-rearmed won't run any games

@jdriscol which model pi are you using?

@jdriscol I just updated and don't have any issues - did you update your RetroPie script before installing the binary update ?

quicksilver

@jdriscol Update retropie setup-script first then update from binary. The binary was already updated I believe.

jdriscol

@quicksilver @mitu Pretty sure I updated setup-script also, but don't recall the order. I'll give it a shot doing the setup-script and then doing another update from binary in a few hours when I get home. The last attempt I made at the update was a day ago and haven't done anything since.

BuZz

@jdriscol Binary has been fixed since then for the RPI 2/3.

jdriscol

Re-ran the update, and now everything is back to normal (PSX ROMs working properly). Thanks for the help!

The PR for RPI0/1 was merged upstream now, so this should be fixed for good now.

The binaries for RPI2/3 were already updated so there should be no more issues with these devices. For RPI0/1, the binaries should be rebuilt very soon and fixed too.

Apologies again for originally forgetting to remind @BuZz to rebuild the binaries due to the name change. Hopefully all is back to normal again. This core now is more aligned with how the other LR core are being built, hence more resistant to future updates upstream. Sadly this core is not receiving many nowadays :(

Well, the Diablo music fix is an often reported bug here, so that's a welcomed change.

hey, don't know if it is related, but the pcsx_rearmed_show_bios_bootlogo = "enabled" also apparently is not working. I used to boot with bios logo, now it boots directly into the game. It does work if I do a manual reset on the already loaded rom. Anyone mind to check this? I know it's a silly detail but I like the nostalgia that booting with bios gives me.

@ivooc at least on my version of lr-pscx-rearmed booting on bios is an option in the GUI - go to quick menu, options and you should see the option there and in parenthesis there is a note it breaks some games. I just tried it last night randomly for the first time by coincidence and it worked.

Yes, I know it's there. Mine's enabled and have worked fine with all the games I've played, until this buggy binary that broke the emulator. Now the emulator is fixed, but the show bios option doesn't work anymore, at least not for me. And I updated the packages today to be sure. I even checked the runcommand log to see if the option was being loaded correctly and it was.

@ivooc I just tested enabling the BIOS on boot for the current version of the core for each of the games I have and they did show it without any issues every time.

I'm using a Raspberry PI 3B+. What RPI device do you have? Please give more information about your system, including what BIOS are you using.

Pi Model or other hardware: 3B+
Power Supply used: Foundation's Official 5.1V - 2.5A PSU
RetroPie Version Used: 4.4.9
Built From: Manually installed on top of Raspbian GNU/Linux 9.8 (stretch)

I'm using SCPH1001.BIN BIOS. I know it's being recognized because Retroarch doesn't complain about "missing BIOS, low compatibility" and if I reset the game the logos appear.

@ivooc Do you have any overrides/configs for the game saved from RetroArch ? Run the game with verbose logging enabled (from the Runcommand launch menu) and paste the log file (/dev/shm/runcommand.log) to pastebin.com.

I do, but the overrides still confuses me. But this is happening with all PSX games.

mitu

@ivooc You have a custom config file for the game

[INFO] Config: appending config "/home/pi/.config/retroarch/config/PCSX-ReARMed/Crash Team Racing (U).cfg"

Try to remove it and see if that makes a difference. The 'Boot BIOS logo' option is automatically saved as core option, so you don't need to save anything, once is set from the RGUI.

ivooc

@mitu No dice, that file was actually blank. https://pastebin.com/wyLpfTv8

mitu

@ivooc Hm, I see this also with another game. The core option is not in effect unless the content is reset - probably cause by this recent commit.

ivooc

@mitu Seems like a new variable SlowBoot was introduced. Maybe it wasn't used correctly?
