[SOLVED] lr-ppsspp emulator does not work, please help !!
-
I had install previously ppsspp and i had downloaded the rom little big planet for psp and i added it to the psp folder in retropie. When i start retropie, the psp emulator does not even show. So i installed lr-ppsspp but got the same result. Then i uninstalled both and only re-installed lr-ppsspp but still the same thing, no psp in the menu where all my other console are. The rom is a .iso file
Please need help to have the psp emulator working ??

@darthlink
Check this:- the
parse gamelists only
option is turned off - is the emulator installed
- your roms are in the right folder
- your roms have one of these extension
.iso / .cso / .pbp
- you rebooted your pi
If it isn't showing up after checking the steps:
This method is not recommended!
It could be the case that the systems configuration file wasn't updated.
If this is the case the psp system will not show up in the system carousel.
You have to add it manualy to thees_system.cfg
Here is how you do it:
- Connect via ssh
2.a If you don't have a modifiedes_system.cfg
copy the default one withsudo cp /etc/emulationstation/es_system.cfg /home/pi/.emulationstation/
2.b If you already have a modifiedes_system.cfg
backup your old config withsudo cp /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg /home_/emulationstation/es_system.cfg.backup
- Open the config file
sudo nano /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg
- Copy this somewhere between
<systemlist>...</systemlist>
(this is untested):
<system> <name>psp</name> <fullname>PlayStation Portable</fullname> <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psp</path> <extension>.iso .ISO. cso .CSO .pbp . PBP</extension> <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ psp %ROM%</command> <platform>psp</platform> <theme>psp</theme> </system>
- Save the config file with
ctrl+x
,y
andenter
- Restart Emulationstation
Why not editing the default config?
The default config should stay as it is. Emulationstation will read the config file in/home/pi/.emulationstation
as primery system config, so no need to mess up the default config if it is safer this way :)I don't want to use SSH:
Well, you could use a program like winSCP (Windows machines), but keep in mind that you have to set hidden folder visible first:Click on the "view" menu (or "options", if using the Norton Commander interface).
Click on "preferences".
In the preferences window, click on "Panels" on the left menu.
Uncheck (or check) the "Show Hidden Files" box to show or hide the files
Please check if there is a emulator folder for psp in/opt/retropie/emulators
Now the PSP system should show up

Hooo my god !!! really ?? loll
That is what i did for kody and raspbian, i added them both manually in es-_systems.cfg and they both work great if i start them within retropie.
Thank ;) i will do that and try it this evening. I will let you know if that works out ;)
thx again
Just one thing though, if that should work, should i uninstall the lr-ppsspp and just reinstall ppsspp instead ? I rather have the controller work directly instead of being attached to retroarch since i am having problem with the left analog stick as of now ??

@darthlink I edited my answer with a (hopefully) working solution
-
<system>
<name>psp</name>
<fullname>PlayStation Portable</fullname>
<path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psp</path>
<extension>.iso .ISO. cso .CSO .pbp . PBP</extension>
<command>/home/pi/RetroPie/emulators/ppsspp/PPSSPPSDL %ROM% en</command>
<platform>psp</platform>
<theme>psp</theme>
</system>This will not work because in the Retropie folder, i do not have a emulators folder. I have only 4 folder and they are: BIOS, retropiemenu, roms, splashscreen
But in command i think i would put: bash %ROMS%
no ?

@darthlink
Yeah, sry, that was a old path, edited itPlease check if there is a emulator folder for psp in
/opt/retropie/emulators
You should check this first

This is because you need to let WinSCP see hidden folders. I believe the instructions below should let you see the hidden folders:
Click on the "view" menu (or "options", if using the Norton Commander interface).
Click on "preferences".
In the preferences window, click on "Panels" on the left menu.
Uncheck (or check) the "Show Hidden Files" box to show or hide the files

@TMNTturtlguy Actually there is no
emulators
(but I don't know if it apperas when installing ppsspp, I guess not) -
@DarkWolf if you want to edit the .es_systems.cfg you should do that in:
/home/pi/.emulationstation
(i don't have my pi running, but i am pretty sure this is the correct path.emulationstation is a hidden folder. Your modified es_systems.cfg file should live in this folder. Emulationstation will read this file as the primary systems file.
-
@TMNTturtlguy Yeah, I missed that one, I will edit my answer once again :)

@darthlink did you install the lr-ppsspp ?
than it should be in/opt/retropie/libretrocores

yes i had install lr-ppsspp but i will uninstall it and install ppsspp instead
-
@darthlink it shouldn't depend in the emulator you use, just wanted to make sure the runcommand script will find the emulator...
so install the one you want, edit the es_system.cfg and try it out
Btw: My answer is kinda overkill now :D

@darthlink yeah
non lr- emus:/opt/retropie/emulators
lr- emus:/opt/retropie/libretrocores
but this is a unnecessary information -

but this is a unnecessary informationso does this mean ( let say i keep the lr-ppsspp ) that i have to change my command line in es_systems.cfg to point to /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-ppsspp ??
-
@darthlink no, you can change it by pressing A atfer you selected a rom and it loads
that opens the runcommand config and you can change the emulator it will use to run roms -
psp does appear in emulationstation - i'm not sure why we're editing es_systems.cfg
