Problem with GTA:Vice City Stories on PsP.

Reichling

Same problem here on my Pi4 . There is the really old version of PPSSPP 1.5.4 listed as available on Retropie but it only works on Pi3. I setup my old Pi3 with Retropie and installed PPSSPP 1.5.4 on it. GTA:Vice City Stories works on my Pi3 with 1.5.4 but performance is horrible.

@windg this fixed the problem for me. I installed PPSSPP v1.10.2 and now GTA: Vice City Stories is working again:

It doesn't work for me, the compilation end with this error:

Error running 'git -C
/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/ppsspp/ppsspp checkout
-f 110020000 -b 110020000' returned 128

Libation

@windg Exact same error I get when trying this fix as well.

@reichling I’ve tried everything to install an older version. Is there anyway you could send me your ppsspp.sh file? Thanks for the help!

windg

i follow @mitu instructions, on this topic, to downgrade the standalone ppsspp and now the game is working again!

@windg this solution doesn't work for me

@death I upload the ppsspp script with the change https://easyupload.io/3p44u7 .

@windg

Much appreciated, I noticed this issue about a month ago and I wasnt able to figure how to downgrade, Vice City is working great now.
Would I need to re-apply this ppsspp.sh file if I update the RetroPie scripts when I want to update my emulators??

windg

@navi87
You don't have to re-apply the script.

Is there a particular place you have to copy the script file to in order to run it?

windg

@george-spiggott

Yes you have to put the script here :

/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/emulators

Anyone figure out how to downgrade the libretro version?

windg

@lostless
It's the same procedure with the standalone emulator but you have to modify the lr-ppsspp.sh and downgrade to v1.9.3 . I try the v1.10.2 that i use in the standalone ppsspp put it didnt work for the libretro version.

The path forlr-ppsspp.sh is here :

/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/libretrocores

you have to modify the line

rp_module_repo="git https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp.git master"

to be

rp_module_repo="git https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp.git v1.9.3"

or you can download the file with the change here

Before building from source try the option clean source folder. What emulator do you use, the standalone or libretro?

George Spiggott

I don't know how but copying the script seems to have made the screen go blank when I go to the options menu in retropie.

This is strange, i don't understand how the script can effect the retropie menu. Are you sure you didn't delete anything?

From the terminal try

cd Retropie-Setup

and then

sudo ./retropie_setup.sh

Choose to update the script and then update t all core packages. I hope this will fix the problem.

George Spiggott

@windg I'd already tried an update to fix the problem. I went back to an old backup and recopied the scripts. That fixed it. Thanks

I see the developer is unable to replicate the problem. Should this become the default version for Retropie until the problem can be solved?
