ry to figure this issue out. My kids thank you as well... Now we can all enjoy Crash Team Racing together!

You're welcome, i made this to play with my girlfriend and my friend, CTR battle, CTR versus, speed freacks, micromachine V8 ^^ I hope that your children is happy.

Go refactoring my code on bomberman, some lot of works for a memory stack overflow :/, some level to add, level of IA to develop.

@alexis-puska @dankcushions Thanks for working on this Alexis, I run Retropie 4.1 and updated from source right now but it doesn't solved the problem, maybe it did not update from the right source...do I have to download it from somewhere else or from the retropie setup script is ok ?

alexis-puska

I have made a fresh install of retropie 4.1 and the setup script get script from notaz repository. Try to change the repository to get source from libretro github repository. I have made the link in my previous post.

FAB2TB

@alexis-puska I dont know how to do that do you know how to change it?

it isn't for me - see https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/libretrocores/lr-pcsx-rearmed.sh#L22

you just need to make sure you're in manage packages > manage main packages > lr-pcsx_rearmed

eg:

i think you must be looking in the 'optional' menu (which is where notaz standalone version is)

Hmm... Still not working for me in Retropie 4.1 on a Pi 3 B. I uninstalled lr-pcsx-rearmed, updated the update script, and tried reinstalling from both binary and source. Still player 3 and 4 do not respond.

I did use the trick listed above, where I go into Quick Menu - Controls and set players 3 and 4 pad types to None, then back to Retropad, and that works.

FAB2TB

@dankcushions there is no "lr-pcsx_rearmed" in the optional packages menu only "pcsx_rearmed" so the update comes from the supposed right place and it does not work without doing the trick I explained above

FAB2TB

@Bast525 yes either I cant get the fixed version or if the update comes from the right place the bug fix did not solve this problem

that's because i didn't say the 'optional packages' menu, i said the 'main packages' menu :)

manage packages > manage main packages > lr-pcsx_rearmed

lr-pcsx_rearmed is main, pcsx_rearmed is optional.

FAB2TB

OK finally it is working, the only thing is the "default" case is not included in the code here:
https://github.com/libretro/pcsx_rearmed/commit/17b93a2844f026f8f0d779e9bae698631c746f8a so just set everything to "standard" type and let's have some fun! Thanks a lot Alexis et Big Up de Thonon-les-Bains :)

alexis-puska

ha un français sur le forum, j'espère que tout re-fonctionne comme avant, j'ai trouvé l'auteur du pépin sur les commit git, je lui en parlerais :p.

FAB2TB

@alexis-puska oui c'est nickel maintenant, juste qu'il faut sélectionner "standard" type car "default" ne fonctionne pas donc pas très intuitif pour celui qui n'est pas au courant...en tout cas ça fait bien plaisir de rejouer à tous ces multiplayers tellement fun...à plus et merci encore.

alexis-puska

@dankcushions
Maybe add to wiki to set standard or analog insteed of default.

darknior

@dankcushions and @MegamanHxH ... please is it possible to have some help ?

I have the last Retropie installation with all the last update and lr-pcsx-rearmed updates from the last source code.
I read all the topic and the Wiki and i configure all fine :

/opt/retropie/configs/psx/retroarch.cfg : ADD game specific options !

rewind_enable = "false"
input_overlay_enable = "true"
input_overlay = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/overlays/borders/Sony-PlayStation.cfg"
video_smooth = "true"
video_shader_enable = "false"
game_specific_options = "true"

/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg : all is fine configured
/opt/retropie/configs/psx/pcsx/cfg/SCES_02834-SCES02834.cfg : all is fine configured

but i can't find these configuration anywhere :(

frameskip = "0"
region = "PAL"
pad1type = "default"
pad2type = "default"
pad3type = "default"
pad4type = "default"
pad5type = "default"
pad6type = "default"
pad7type = "default"
pad8type = "default"
multitap1 = "auto"
multitap2 = "auto"
drc = "enabled"
neon_interlace_enable = "disabled"
neon_enhancement_enable = "enabled"
neon_enhancement_no_main = "enabled"
duping_enable = "on"
spu_reverb = "on"
spu_interpolation = "simple"
pe2_fix = "disabled"
inuyasha_fix = "disabled"

I can only configure them in Retroarch on my TV to have :

pad1type = "standard"
pad2type = "standard"
pad3type = "standard"
pad4type = "standard"
pad5type = "standard"
pad6type = "standard"
pad7type = "standard"
pad8type = "standard"
multitap1 = "enable"
multitap2 = "enable"

Finally i search on : /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/config/PCSX-ReARMed

Found : Crash Team Racing (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It,Nl) (EDC) [LC2 Crack by Paradox]

But nothing save too, only 11 lines in each config file :

video_scale_integer = "true"
menu_show_advanced_settings = "true"
savestate_thumbnail_enable = "true"
show_hidden_files = "true"
custom_viewport_width = "1280"
custom_viewport_height = "960"
aspect_ratio_index = "22"
video_refresh_rate = "60.000000"
input_overlay_opacity = "1.000000"

No more ...
I try to had the lines by hand but it doesn't works :(

Have i forgot something ???
Or maybe you must fix the config per game function ???

If nobody do it, we can't make a CFG file by game to help players.
I really want to have a solution to have some games with end without the multitape.

Thanks

I am not sure about all the code changes being needed..

I just open the retroarch GUI (select+X) and then go to controller options and enable the multitap from there. You want to make sure that you are in the "quick menu" NOT the main menu.

Then save a game specific configuration and quit the game..then restart the game. Now every time you start that game it will enable the multitap every time you start the game without having to go into the GUI...works every time.

darknior

@akafox No, you don't read or understand me :(
Have you try to do it yourself ??

I already do that, i always do that ... for each system ... when i have a game with specific configuration.
But it 's not working on PSX :(
On PSX with lr-pcsx-rearmed when you change something and save it for a game, it save it for the core !!!
And you have this option for all the games :(
I think there is a bug in the Retroarch Menu code of PSX ...

PSX options are ONLY saved in this file for all the games :
/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-core-options.cfg

pcsx_rearmed_frameskip = "0"
pcsx_rearmed_region = "PAL"
pcsx_rearmed_pad1type = "standard"
pcsx_rearmed_pad2type = "standard"
pcsx_rearmed_pad3type = "standard"
pcsx_rearmed_pad4type = "standard"
pcsx_rearmed_pad5type = "standard"
pcsx_rearmed_pad6type = "standard"
pcsx_rearmed_pad7type = "standard"
pcsx_rearmed_pad8type = "standard"
pcsx_rearmed_multitap1 = "disabled"
pcsx_rearmed_multitap2 = "disabled"
pcsx_rearmed_drc = "enabled"
pcsx_rearmed_neon_interlace_enable = "enabled"
pcsx_rearmed_neon_enhancement_enable = "enabled"
pcsx_rearmed_neon_enhancement_no_main = "enabled"
pcsx_rearmed_duping_enable = "enabled"
pcsx_rearmed_spu_reverb = "enabled"
pcsx_rearmed_spu_interpolation = "simple"
pcsx_rearmed_pe2_fix = "disabled"
pcsx_rearmed_inuyasha_fix = "disabled"
pcsx_rearmed_show_bios_bootlogo = "disabled"

Noting more than 11 lines in the games configuration :(
A friend try it too, and have same result. Impossible to save a configuration for one game.

@darknior
works for me.

can you upload your ENTIRE cfgs?

/opt/retropie/configs/psx/retroarch.cfg
/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

darknior

@dankcushions Yes for sure, thanks a lot :)

@darknior
all-retroarch-config-PCSX-ReARMed-GameSpecificConfigFile.cfg
where is this? what's it called? how was it generated?

your /all/retroarch.cfg is not a default retropie one (they are a lot smaller), so there could be an issue there.

It is : /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/config/PCSX-ReARMed/PCSX-ReARMed.cfg
or : ...../Croc 2 (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It,Nl,Sv).cfg
Same files ...

My ALL Retroarch config ALL CFG is original, i only change some config with the RETROARCH config in the RETROPIE-SETUP
But if you think it can help me, give me yours and i will try it.

Do you verify your games CFG files ? Are they saving the PADTYPE and MULTITAP settings ?
