Installation of Beetle Psx in RPi4.

windg

I want to install/try this emulator, that is available for PC, with RPi4.
What is the suitable option for the below line in the lr-beetle-psx.sh ? Thanks.

rp_module_flags="!arm"

It's there for a reason, so likely it will not work on the raspberry pi.
!arm means not arm.
You can try by removing it and then installing it.
But compiling will probably fail or it will run too slow.

It's running but is slow. I try this emulator in a different distro in Rpi4 and it was smooth with most of the games, and i was hoping to run good with RetroPie too. I will test it again when the new version, based in Bullseye, is out.Thanks!

@windg Yes, it's more or less fullspeed on my 64bit bullseye setup overclocked to 2Ghz and by using the "max performance" dynarec setting which might have bugs but I haven't thoroughly tested.

It's too slow for double resolution. It looks like it only supports opengl 3.3 and vulkan for hardware acceleration. Retropie is currently being built with vulkan disabled.

I am testing the latest development image of Bullseye 64 bit and the emulator is running surprisingly well, better from the last time i test it. I am using the default settings without overclocking.

i tested more games and i can say that 8/10 are running without slowdowns. This is with stock clocks. The emulator is running in software mode, i try to change it to opengl but it wasn't possible and i don't know if i modify the script it will run with this mode.

@windg I don't think the GL Renderer it will work on a Pi, AFAIR it needs OpenGL 3.3 (not OpenGL ES) and the PI4 supports 2.1 only (see here).
