@StonedEdge With an aggressive overclock (e.g. 2300MHz/900MHz+) some 3DS games are playable on the Pi4, mostly RPGs. In addition to that you will need to optimize every setting possible as well as make use of any possible cheats that can speed up gameplay. For example, the 150% speedhack in Pokemon Sun is enough to get the game playable on my Pi4, which was a pleasant surprise. Less demanding RPG's like Etrian Mystery Dungeon, Etrian Odyssey, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Pokemon ORAS all seem to be playable even if they are not quite at full speed. That said, games like Mario Kart and Smash Bros are just out of the question as really any slow-down is completely unforgiving in games like these. If your interest is mainly RPG's and you are comfortable with overclocking, then I would say that it might be worth it for you to get Borked3DS working on your Pi4.

That said, I believe that the bigger motivation for you to make the jump to 64-bit should be for Gamecube emulation as that is lower hanging fruit than 3ds. Gamecube emulation is a measurably less demanding than 3DS in large part because dolphin has the CPU override feature that works far better than it does in Borked3DS to speed up games on slow hardware (honestly, dolphin is just a better piece of software than citra was and it has far better optimization for use on a variety of devices).

@barbudreadmon Because that is the only emulator I could get my roms working after I recompiled my roms using CLR-MamePro. Ill try again...

Worth noting the above here for posterity and the DLP page that described the checkpoints in PAYG as discovered by @DirtBagXon .

https://www.dragons-lair-project.com/tech/enhancements/dle2xsequence.asp

Pay As You Go interruption point When the PAYG option for 2 interruptions per game is enabled, this is the 1st point at which coin(s) are required to continue play.

@ltspicer If you're referring to the flags summary that @Lolonois mentioned, x86 covers both 32 and 64 bit architectures. There's really no reason to choose 32bit over 64bit when a PC is involved.

The issue seems to be that the game launched reports an error, either it was launched incorrectly (i.e. not starting the right executable) or the game executable needs additional parameters when starting.

Since for DOS there is no one rule for all games you can see what is the actual error is by using the +Start Dosbox shortcut, run a cd <game folder> command and try to launch the game manually by typing the command (game.exe or game.bat). See what is the error reported and try to fix it - maybe a file is missing or you're launching the wrong command to start the game, game needs a CD to work, game expects to be run from a certain folder, etc.

You have to try game by game to see how the game works, but once you find it, you can create a game.conf file which can use used to launch the game. In the game.conf file you enter:

[autoexec] command 1 command 2 # other commands. # last command is just exiting the DOS env exit

where you replace command 1, 2, etc with the commands needed to launch the game.

For instance, to lauch Little Big Adventure 2 by changing to the lba2 folder and executing LBA2.EXE, my .conf file would contain:

[autoexec] # map C: to the `pc` roms folder mount c /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc/ # simulate a CD drive on D: from the `.dat` file imgmount d "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/lba2/LBA2.DAT" -t iso c: cls cd LBA2 LBA2.EXE exit

Place the .conf file in the same folder as the rest of the PC games (pc) and restart EmulationStation.

Here's is a realistic Arcade Bezel for the game Guzzler using the Mega Bezel Reflective Shader for Retroarch.

Just an update, as of Wednesday mesa 25.2.0 was released as the most recent development release

https://docs.mesa3d.org/relnotes/25.2.0.html

I'll have a test but a noted new feature is dualSrcBlend on v3dv (so Vulkan will now support corrected texture mapping on gamecube and Wii now as well as OpenGL for the affected games)

@ExarKunIv I tried updating Streets of Rage Remake (both the Ports and the lr-bennugd versions) and noticed that the game works with the unlockables available once they are loaded from the savegame.sor file. The only problem seems to be the SorMaker.dat file, which can be accessed from the main menu of the game or by selecting the SorMaker.sh file in the Ports menu. It attempts to load, but three seconds later it crashes back into the Ports menu. I checked on the runcommand.log and noticed a 17079 segmentation fault. I'm guessing that it's a memory allocation error. I posted about it on the Streets of Rage Remake Community Forum and was going to contact the BennuGD forum (they haven't given access for me yet, so I'll have to wait) to see if they have an idea of how or if they have plans to correct this issue.

First, please add more info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
Second, can you please explain better what are you trying to do and what exactly is not working - I'm not familiar of a joystick setup by name utility or setup screen in RetroPie.

Just a quick bump to see if anyone knows the button circuitry on the nespi+ case works

@Lolonois said in usb boot from 5tb hdd:

@korn16ftl3 Thanks for the heads up and hints. Happy retro-gaming.

It should also be noted to check and see if you have an energy saver in the firmware for your HDD. Mine did and it interfered with it somehow and gave me problems after a shit down and did some weird stuff…it eventually straightened its self out HOWEVER if you have the energy saver “feature” on your particular hard drive it should be disabled if you plan to leave the system on for long periods of time. I was able to do this with a windows pc using the WD utilities software. Others may have to seek other solutions to keep the drive from entering sleep mode.

I must say that even tho this whole thing was frustrating it was fun at the same time and felt accomplishing once I actually got the results I was after. Oh and I learned a lot about Linux along the way besides the little I already knew.

strange i can't edit previous post....

So... i rename the file to Lair.ogv. Emulationstation found it on daphne system:

This is runcommand windows:

Now try to set lr-dirksimple......and omg:

It's work!!! Great..... case closed @mitu :)

++++ edit ++++
now i can only need to change it's name on metadata and add scraping image like other...lol :)

The mediafire link is not opening. Can you please share a new one or upload this file on GDrive or some other cloud and share it again?
Thanks

@Machtroid Hi o/ Sorry about that, I'll upload it again and update the links if you're still around. It'll take me a while just to organize the files, but I'll update all the files again.

Which EmulationStation version are you using ? Perhaps you need to quote the path to the emulator, since it has spaces in it, or try to rename the "Project64 3.0" folder to not have spaces in it. How is the es_systems.cfg file set-up for the N64 system ?

The 279 binaries have been added.

A question to all users :

Who is still using old binaries from the gdrives ?
I probably want to remove quite a lot in the near future.
Let me know !

@mitu I'll go to the Streets of Rage Remake and the BennuGD forum and ask if they can help sort this out. I might have to write to the developers in Spanish at BennuGD, but I'm thinking that it might give them a heads up on what's going on with the SorRMaker.dat file. Thanks for letting me know about what goes on when the core is created and your response on this issue. I'll keep you posted if any of them gives some feedback.
