@Nismo where did you downloaded the ISS 2000 ROM?

Nismo

@horaciowm I downloaded from link you posted.

horaciowm

@Nismo The game ROM. Not the CDmage.

@horaciowm
I tried @Nismo directions and then tested with lr-pcsx-rearmed and pcsx-rearmed and had the same issues with it loading up with the PSX logo intro then to a black screen. I believe Nismo is testing with the Beetle/Mednafen PSX core which is for x86 systems only.

horaciowm

@backstander Yeah. I think the same. Mednafen isn't avaiable for Raspberry PI 3's Retropie.

horaciowm

Must have a way to solve this issue.

horaciowm

Come on guys??!!??

@horaciowm

I broke down and gave the download a try. I was able to play it using the Mednafen PSX RetroArch core without any modification. However, using the same BIOS, I was unable to get it to load with any of the available PSX options in RetroPie. I know it's disappointing, but it could be that this game is simply unplayable on RetroPie.

Nismo

@mediamogul yes I tested on Windows but I think libretro cores are cross platform
and the same improvements in all systems.

mediamogul

@Nismo

I might be misunderstanding you, but the Mednafen PSX RetroArch core isn't available for RetroPie.

Nismo

@mediamogul I didn't know that core was not available. What cores available for psx in retropie then?

mediamogul

@Nismo

lr-pcsx-rearmed
pcsx-rearmed
lr-beetle-psx

@Nismo

lr-pcsx-rearmed
pcsx-rearmed
lr-beetle-psx

beetle is mednafen. they renamed it for whatever reason.

but... only pcsx-rearmed has an ARM dynarec, which means only those two cores will give playable performance on a pi system.

Nismo

@dankcushions Then can somebody try with beetle even with poor performance? just to see if it boots.

Pcsx has not as good compatibility as mednafend psx/beetle.

I tried it with the same European BIOS that worked on my desktop machine, but it didn't do anything.

Nismo

@mediamogul Strange... But @horaciowm seems to forget that emulators are not 100% compatible with all games, and not all games work the same in every emulator.

horaciowm

@Nismo Sad..

horaciowm

Anyone has another Idea?

@horaciowm Hello, I register just to be able to comment on this post.
I am also desperate, all the games work except the ISS200.

@machuna wow. I can't believe so many people are looking for the same game. We should form a club! :)

Indeed, I had a hard time tracking down the game because even though I have the original CD here and can play it on my ps3, I no longer have a CD drive on my laptop for a few years now, and the game isn't released as "ISS 2000" here in Europe, but only ISS, which matches all the ISS PRO games instead:)

Yes, I confirm the same. I have tested it exhaustively back in September and then around Christmas time after updating the emulator from source. Nothing helped.

Was hopeful that the latest update would help but I see no commits there whatsoever that would seem to help.

Might be worth posting a bug at the actual emulator project:

Best.
