      I recently finished the Final Fantasy 8. The game crashes sometimes at random times. Also vibration does not work.

      My English isn't at a good level.

          Hi Guys,

          I've been using retropie with RPI4 and I confess that is working pretty well with just a few adjustments so the graphics looks better, normally I just need to turn on the "bilinear filtering" and then I change the aspect ratio to 16:9 in order the screen can be adjusted to my TV.

          The problem that I found and which I couldn't fix it yet is when I play Colin Mcrae rally 2.0 from PSX, the game plays very well but suddenly when I'm playing it exits back to emulationstation. I've already seen some topics about the same issue but without any solution. I tried many different configurations, both enhanced resolution and enhanced resolution(speed hack) on, I tried it off as well but no lucky. I changed the the cpu clock from 57 (default) to 46, I tried all defaults and nothing fix the issue.

          I'm using the bios psxonpsp660.bin

          • I tried many different version of the rom and now I'm using the original one (dumped from the CD original to .bin, .cue format).

          Any help would be appreciated :)

            I haven't found any games that down right crash but everytime I play Doom the graphics are awful. Just disappear into each other. Also experience severe slow down on Command & Conquer Red Alert

              @hawkes_84 Turn off the high resolution option to fix your problems with Doom.

              Currently running:
              Retropie 4.8.9 on a Pi Zero 2W (Overclock Settings: CPU 1400Mhz)

                This sounds odd, might be recommended for the PSP to run EBOOTS.
                The one that should be used with lr_PSXReArmed is "SCHP1001.BIN".

                    ok, thanks @dankcushions.
                    i did not know that, i guess i had a look at PSXRearmed (non-libretro) when i started with retropie a couple of yeras ago.
                    I cannot remember that there were so much BIOS-files to choose from :)

                        Another game I'd like to add is Xenogears. The sound in the menus is harsh and blown out. No amount of setting changes in retroarch have an effect. Image and core are update to latest version. Tried both bin+cue and PBP - even different files from different sources.

                          • Today a patch release for the Xenogears that fix a critical bug that can cause soft-lock during a boss fight in the second disk. The patch except the bug fix, offers and some other improvements. More information here :https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/5284/

                          • Also, Formula One Arcade doesn't work, it crashes after the loading.

                          • Final Fantasy VIII maybe will soft-lock after the Lunar Cry FMV sequence (Disk 3). To avoid this, before the FMV start, enable the "InuYasha Sengoku Battle Fix" in the RetroArch options. Don't forget to disable it after .

                          Despite the above bugs i have successfully complete Xenogears and Final Fantasy VIII till the end.

                              @jose1711 Is this specifically the PAL version or does it work for NTSC as well? Will have to try it either way when I get a chance. This has been the biggest disappointment in PSX emulation for me for years. No emu runs it right.

                              Growing older is mandatory. Growing up is optional!
                              Enjoy the ride!

                                Both versions, PAL and USA, are crashing with the latest version of lr-pcsx-rearmed. Maybe the new version of the emulator with the fix, isn't released yet.

                                  Does anyone know how to get the secret characters of Soul Blade/Edge to work? I mean especially Sophitia! and Sophitia!! (and one other I forgot). Whenever I select one of those, the game crashes.
                                  Iirc this also happens on the PSX emulator of the PS3, but definitely with lr-pcsx-rearmed...

                                    I'm playing the Metal Gear Solid this period and I'm at a certain point where you have to do something special to beat a boss.

                                    Spoiler:

                                    I'm talking about the Psycho Mantis Boss fight, you need to connect the gamepad from port1 to port2 of the PS1 console so he can't read your mind.

                                    I did this in RetroPie with the use of a keyboard and gamepad.

                                    So before the fight with the boss open the RetroArch Main menu, then:

                                    Settings => Input =>

                                    -Port 1 Binds => Device index. Set it to disable. When you did this, the gamepad will stop responding in the RetroArch, so you have to use the keyboard.

                                    -Port 2 BInds => Device index. Select your gamepad.

                                    Close RetroArch (without saving the settings) and enjoy.

                                    My English isn't at a good level.

                                      Dynasty Warriors was unplayable because it was running very slow. We can fix this if we change the psx cpu clock from the RetroArch menu.

                                      During the game is running, open the RetroArch menu and
                                      from the options change the psx cpu clock from 57 to 78, then choose to save game option fie and restart the emulator.

                                      If you want to backup the option file you can find it to this path
                                      /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/config/PCSX-ReARMed

                                          Hey there,

                                          I was trying to get "a bug's life" to work with the lr pcsx rearmed emulator on a raspberry 3b, but unfortunately, when the demo from the game menu begins or when i take a few steps in the game, it crashes back to the emulationstation. Everytime it is accurately the same spot

                                          Maybe i am overseeing something, or is the game not compatible yet?

                                          Pal and NTSC, both yield the same result.

                                          Kind greetings
