lr-pcsx-rearmed won't run any games
-
@jdriscol Binary has been fixed since then for the RPI 2/3.
-
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. -

@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.
-
@mitu No dice, that file was actually blank. https://pastebin.com/wyLpfTv8
-
@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.
-
@mitu Seems like a new variable SlowBoot was introduced. Maybe it wasn't used correctly?
-
My Gran Turismo 2 stopped working after the update, it gets past the first two SCEA licensing screens and then freezes, I am able to enter the Retroarch menu and exit though. The standalone pcsx-rearmed won't work for me either, I was told it is no longer supported, but the old version used to work, whenever I run it, the graphics and PI crash and it overheats until I unplug it.
-
@ivooc @mitu I realised I was using a slightly outdated commit on my tests as I was debugging the core, and that's why the BIOS was showing for me. I updated to the most recent commit and indeed I don't see the BIOS on boot anymore. I also have a feeling that the recent commit you mention mitu is to blame. I will investigate more and check with the upstream guys.
@Efriim I will check the core in the latest commit to see what's going on with that game and report upstream if necessary. Thanks for bringing it up. Can you clarify which version of GT2 are you using (Arcade/Simulation)?
-
@hhromic GT2 Simulation only.
I tried the new psx clock setting for the only other thing I could think of. For the slowdown in Metal Gear Solid during some boss fights and while in first person looking down the length of the map, it didn't seem to effect anything.
I also noted that this slowdown is exactly the same with a significant under clock as a hardy over clock. It is like too many reads simultaneously, or is it just creating one that is extra wide, I'm not sure. I did think it was interesting when Psycho Mantis actually crashed my emulator, I know, I didn't expect that. I got him the second time though. -
@Efriim thanks for the info. I will test and check.
@ivooc @mitu I bisected the core now and the BIOS show option stopped working at this commit, which seems to be a bad revert to a previous commit. I will investigate how to fix this and send the fix upstream.
