There's no lr-mess-jaguar in RetroPie. If you're using @folly's scripts, then please post it that topic.

I'm running on a Raspberry Pi 5 -

For the Pi5, you need to run the '4k pages' linux kernel to prevent a few emulators crashing. Did you add kernel=kernel8.img to /boot/firmware/config.txt ? You also need to run the lr-flycast-dev core for full Naomi support, I'm not sure the original Flycast core has support for all Naomi games.

That's worked a treat!

Thanks for all your help.

Thanks!
Sort of resolved.

I went through the verbose log.
Found:

[WARN] SYSTEM DIR is empty, assume CONTENT DIR /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx/Silent Bomber (USA).cue [INFO] Environ SYSTEM_DIRECTORY: "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx/". no BIOS files found.

Okay, odd, but lets just try putting a bios file next to the rom...

If I put the bios files in the same folder as the ROM the bios gets found and performance improves as expected. Aka: Audio gets more consistent and it does no longer randomly just hang.

This might not explain why it doesn't find the bios where it is supposed to be according to the docs. but then again who knows what I messed up when I set this up a few years ago. Point is the information from the log was accurate and helpful.

This log to be precise:
/dev/shm/runcommand.log

Previously I have only looked at:
/opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es_log.txt

@SAVVYSCLUTTER We're not your 'support hotline' so it's useless to tag your topic with 'URGENT'. Don't be rude with the other forum members and don't shout.

Come back when you're ready to talk politely.

@Striderx99 FBNeo is the emulator you want for SGM games, but it needs an FBNeo-specific ROMset. Pretty easy to find by Googling.

@lexieye you would just need to add a PCSXR entry to your configs/psx/emulators.cfg file. See https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Add-a-New-System-in-EmulationStation/#step-31-launch-roms-with-the-runcommand-script for some details (it's in the context of adding a new system but you can add a new emulator to an existing system in the same way.)

@mitu

flashed retropie image from official site, configured keyboard and wifi, installed reicast and put bios on dc/bios (home folder) and...worked!!

Update image doesn´t works a good choice.
Now i ll do it in my main SD card.

Thanks anyway!

Thanks for the report, we'll have to fix this.

EDIT: should be fixed now, just need an update to RetroPie-Script to fix the upgrade issue.

@JimmyFromTheBay said in Handling the infinite tedium of split ROM sets:

I already tried /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/mame

Just an alternative for you.
I am surprised you never tried this :
If you install the arcade category from the add-mamedev-systems.sh script the rompath /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/mame will be added in the loader lines for lr-mame and mame.
(only in the loader lines created by this script, I have to mention)
So then the less important roms can be placed in :
/home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/mame

Just have a try !

@sleve_mcdichael Regarding non G-Net games, I was also trying to get Guardian Force (grdforce) and Soukyugurentai / Terra Diver (sokyugrt) to work in MAME 2010. I had poor results in 2016, and according to the following compatibility list 2010 should be able to run them at some capacity:

https://buildbot.libretro.com/compatibility_lists/cores/mame2010/mame2010.html

However when I try to load these games in 2010 the emulator freezes. These are stvbios games which seem to have mixed results in MAME. Yet some, such as Shienryu, will even run in MAME 2003-Plus. Just curious if anybody had success with those particular two.

@ALVIN_GHOST If it says optional then yeah, it's not needed. In some cases it can improve compatibility, like for Dreamcast or PS1.

@mitu While speaking with NETPLAY, an instant text/voice messaging application for the community (Teamspeak / Mumble / or better: Discord) would be great to find mate to do netplay games. Like i posted into another thread : link text

@dankcushions Thanks a lot for the replies and for this last tip. I've learned a lot with this thread (core options are always saved if modified in-game, I should not mess with them xD, a way to revert them back to defaults...).
Br,
Dimas.

@clyde thanks now I understand.

@iandaemon I'm in the exact same boat. I think the last new game I finished was Red Dead Redemption.

@darksavior said in Neogeo games won't run:

I'm not sure why someone that has no idea how roms work would make a tutorial about it

To make money... and as you said, this guy probably doesn't understand what he is doing, he is only succeeding by sheer luck...

@soren several issues with that video :

it's outdated, FBAlpha is now FBNeo it doesn't cover the most important aspect of arcade emulation : romset validation

@alphabetapie said in How Many Bios Do I Really Need?:

Looks like I'm good on bios as-is, as Saturn, PSX and Sega CD are the only ones I need. However, it did say that the NES emulators need disk bios. But I assume that's because they also emulator Famicon Discks? And if I'm just using regular American NES roms, I should treat that as an "optional" bio like the rest that list it this way?

ya, that's right - see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Nintendo-Entertainment-System/#bios - only required for FDS games

Extremely helpful, as always! Thanks!
