    Update: DuckStation works flawlessly on an RPi 4, 32-bit! The only caveat is you need to be using a newer version of RetroArch (the one from RetroPie-Setup is stuck at 1.8.8 for now; I edited to script to fetch master and removed all the patches).

    Hopefully they add it to by default to RetroPie soon.

      @fcibx6r1un Which ROM formats does it accept? Does it support PBP yet?

      Currently running:
      Retropie 4.8.9 on a Pi Zero 2W (Overclock Settings: CPU 1400Mhz)
      ES-DE on a GMKtec K6 (Windows 11, 32GB RAM)

        @fcibx6r1un it doesn't work flawlessly yet afaik - there are some rendering issues. Btw @dankcushions did the Retroarch changes and some others relating to this, so we are aware of current compatibility etc. It will be added at some point when issues are sorted etc.

          Any news on this?
          I would LOVE to have this on my x86 Retropie system!

          Although no PBP support is kind of a real downside, since PBP has the best compression and is the easiest way to have 1 file per game.

              2nd Best ... CHD has better compression and is also a very easy way to have 1 file per game.

              Also, CHD is compatible with Duckstation :) FTW !

                @dreamcastkid Correct, and the reason for that is that CHD compresses data tracks with 7z's LZMA compression and audio tracks with FLAC, using the best compression for the resp. data type.

                And yes, easy it is, too. See here for a script and a one-liner for RetroPie's command shell bash to create CHDs from bin/cue files.

                  @clyde I'm tempted to convert my collection to CHD. Ideally I'd need a way to convert my existing PBP collection back to BIN/QUE in bulk.

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

                    It seems this tool can do this ( convert pbp to bin/cue ) ( bulk batch processing with wildcards seem also possible ) :
                    https://github.com/RupertAvery/PSXPackager

                    It seems to work only on windows, here you can find the binary :
                    https://github.com/RupertAvery/PSXPackager/releases

                    Found it in this thread :

                      @george-spiggott I have no experience with PBP, but according to this and this, they are (mostly?) identical to ISO, and you may be able to "convert" them back to ISO simply by renaming them. At least it may be worth a try.

                        I searched a little and found the QPSPManager. Its available for Windows, MacOS and (alas, only in an older version) Linux.

                        It requires a graphical desktop environment, so even its Linux version shouldn't run on RetroPie without installing one, or using another Linux distribution.

                          @clyde and @Folly I finally got round to sorting this. It took me (or rather the computer) an hour or so to convert the 45 games in PBPs to BIN/CUE and then to CHD.

                          CHD = 14.2 GB
                          PBP = 16.3 GB
                          BIN = 23.9 GB

                          Also I now need to create an M3U file for the one multi disk game I have.

                            Which programs did you use, eventually, for the conversions ?

                                  @folly I have had one failure, Tomb Raider, no doubt because of its unusual multi .BIN file system. I had to source a new copy of the .BINs and convert them directly to .CHD.

                                          I've tried, but I don't have the necessary knowledge.
