Problem with GTA:Vice City Stories on PsP.

windg

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

death

@windg this solution doesn't work for me

windg

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

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?

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.

@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?

I believe a newer version will fix the problem.

I will try each new version of lr-ppsspp, ppsspp and will report back when the problem is fixed.

Same problem here. Burnout, Outrun, gran turismo (no sound), gta liberty and vice city... It's a non exhaustive list for now. What a mess. I'm currently re testing all my romset after the update and it's a massacre. Fortunately I have a backup so I can run the 0dcaeb7 version of ppsspp without any problem.

@windg can you share the built binary? I'm using libreelec-rr (you can't build from source using libreelec). I've tried the lakka nightly and pulled the ppsspp from that, but the problem is the same.

I hope i upload the correct files :

lr-ppsspp(v1.9.3)

ppsspp(v1.10.2)

domb84

@windg thanks but it seems i'm missing a dependency for that version on libreelec-rr. Wonder if that's related to the rendering issue.

Chiming in, same thing with Vice City and first time with emulators ontop of that. Couldnt start better i guess haha :)

i'm trying Windg solution with placing the script he uploaded and then updating from within Retropie-setup. Waiting for the process to complete and will report back soon afterwards.

Update: After update completed, nothing changed sadly. Where do i check whats the version of the emu?
