Anyone else issues with PSP lately? (solved)

Drdave79

@sirhenrythe5th I found that lr-ppsspp used to run better, but after an update the standard ppsspp emulator ran far superior. Especially after a few tweaks.

@drdave79 thank you for the advise.
Is there a possibilty to exit ppsspp with the same hotkey-combination as in lr-emulators?
That is the only thing that i dont like on ppsspp :/

I made a picture of the graphical issues, just for the case that someone has an idea what could be responsible for that kind of artefacts:

It looks like it is generated out of the line on the bottom of the screen where the input functions are displayed.

Can i do a full reset of lr-ppsspp?
Will uninstall the package clean everything?

sirhenrythe5th

Tried that, still the graphics are messed up.
Made a fresh install of retropie 4.6.19 and installed lr-ppsspp from source, still graphics are messed up.
At this point i guess i can do nothing but wait for further updates/bugfixes.

I can confirm that the latest version of ppsspp and lr-ppsspp doesn't work very well with many games.

I try the Tony Hawk's Project 8 (USA) (v2.03) with the v.1.9.3 of lr-ppsspp and with v.1.10.2 of ppsspp and the game running without graphical glitches. If you want to downgrade to those versions, you have to follow the instructions on this topic : https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/30701/problem-with-gta-vice-city-stories-on-psp/36?_=1635003365549

@windg thank you very much for your response!
I am aware that downgrading is an option, i saw that recently concerning the GTA Games for the PSP.
But i dont want to go steps back, i will wait for updates fixing this issue ;D

Tried tony hawk proj 8 with the latest pre compiled binary release of the stand alone ppsspp and the game works fine here for me. No graphical issues.

sirhenrythe5th

@genos98 i dont want to use ppsspp standalone, so i will wait for a fix in lr-ppsspp :)

mitu

@sirhenrythe5th Try updating from source again and see if the issue is fixed.

sirhenrythe5th

@mitu sadly it was not, but never mind.
I noticed that PPSSPP is changed/updated nearly daily and so i will keep an eye on it and have patience.
Good luck that PSP-Emulation is just some kind of bonus for me, the situation would be much worse when something like that happened to lr-FBNEO :D

Got it, someone from the official ppsspp-forum had the final hint.
I share this here for everyone running in the same issue (which should happen if you updated recently):

"RE: graphical issues since last update
Turn off the vertex cache setting.

It used to be accidentally disabled in code, but we re-enabled it recently. It seems to be malfunctioning on some devices now, though. It was accidentally broken for several stable versions."
