Pcsx_rearmed ignores the offset settings

[reruns_towel]

lr-pcsx-rearmed is bound to most roms. But some need the better performance of the standalone core. ( Audio glitches etc. )

[mitu]

@reruns_towel A PI 3A+ is basically a 3B+ in terms of CPU - do you have any examples where games run better on the standalone emulator than the Libretro core ?

[reruns_towel]

@mitu But that's not really the question that moves me here. What about the forum rules here. Do you know the brother of Lucifer. The Pal version runs much better with the Standalone Core. I'm more interested in how I pass on the FB offsets to the application.
Not to be forgotten is the 512MB ram at the A3+.

What about them ?

I'll give it a try.

Try adding back overscan_scale to the config.txt file.

I can't find this PS1 game - what's the original game title ? Is it a homebrew/hack ?

i already replied to you here: https://github.com/libretro/pcsx_rearmed/issues/366:

#overscan_scale=1

remove comment:

overscan_scale=1

then your firmware overscan setting would be applied globally - no need to configure emulators/emulationstation

[reruns_towel]

Thanks for your answer, but that doesn't help me. If I use overscan_scale=1 in config.txt, the whole layout is bad.
The display is a DPI display for a mobile phone and is rotated 270 degrees. With this settings all emulators Reicast, pico 8, n64 and all libretto cores run.
The only one that doesn't work with these settngs is pcsx-rearmed.
I thought there was a way to use a console command in runcommand-onstart to reset and reset the fb when pcsx should be started.

yes, because you've applied other settings on top of something that should be solved with overscan settings alone, i think. i think if you just used config.txt settings of:

overscan_left=32
#overscan_right=0
#overscan_top=0
#overscan_bottom=0

overscan_scale=1

and not your emulationstation and libretro settings, i would be curious as to the result.

[reruns_towel]

NO ! if i only use this 2 settings the emulationstation layout is broken. on the top is a black border and the Layout has cutoffs. the autostart.sh is also cleaned in this case.

[dankcushions]

@reruns_towel i would then adjust

overscan_left=32
overscan_right=0
overscan_top=0
overscan_bottom=0

until emulastation looks has no cut offs, and then everything should be good. you can use positive of negative numbers

[reruns_towel]

What you're suggesting doesn't make much sense in this case. The settings I have are ok.
Everything runs fast and as it should be.
Except pcsx.
i'm looking for a command to run when i start pcsx. fbset -move doesn't work.

[dankcushions]

@reruns_towel it makes perfect sense to me :P you want to add fake overscan to your screen. you can do that in the way i instructed, and that would apply to the whole system. the way you've previously done it is to add overscan to the console (command line) only, and then adjust each bit of software to solve the issue, which as you've found, isn't always possible.

Sorry for the late response, That's why I made my changes:

I forgot to post the following entry in my config.txt:

dpi_timings=320 0 10 10 10 **512** 0 5 2 5 0 0 0 60 0 9600000 2

it is possible to pass the following mode in run-onstart.sh for pcsx-rearmed:
