@k3001993 said in Best x86 emulation:

But honestly, do you think it can be done with a decent frame rate? Here's some gameplay:

I don't know, I don't have any experience with Box86 and I don't have it installed.

Next to mame2003, I can recommend its enhanced fork mame2003-plus and another arcade emulator called Final Burn Neo that is under ongoing development. But beware that every emulator needs its very own romset for the games to work, see Validating, Rebuilding, and Filtering Arcade ROMs.

This has been accepted and merged on GlideN64 master branch, so the game should be fixed when updating from source on RetroPie setup.

Any solution to this? I'm using an xbox 360 controller and I'm on retropie 4.6 for rpi4

@retropieuser555 Superb - hopefully I've got a good one then!

@dankcushions @mitu Nevermind, I figured out the problem. I didn't configure it right. My apologies for bumping posts.

it does vt03 and vt09 support, which others don't do at all

An easy way to replace the artwork location in the gamelist.xml with another / new one is the sed command (stream editor). This example changes the video directory from the relative path ./media/videos/ to the absolute path /mnt/artwork/videos/:

cp gamelist.xml gamelist.xml.backup # make a backup in case something goes wrong sed -i 's#<video>./media/#<video>/mnt/artwork/#g' gamelist.xml

The part in single quotes does the actual sed-magic:
s(earch)#[old string]#[new string]#g(lobally, i.e. all occurences)

This works for every other path, just change <video> to <image>, <marquee> etc. Omitting the artwork tag before the path will change any occurence in the file, e.g. if the whole artwork is located in another place.

Execute man sed in the command line to get the manpage (manual page) of this tool, or search the web for myriads of examples.

@dankcushions Here are the 100 core option files I made for the 5200 content I have. These are the .opt text files only.

Core option files for 5200.zip

I put them in \RETROPIE\configs\all\retroarch\config\Atari800\ and so far I think it's working although I haven't tested all of them.

Cheers

@IceChes1 said in What will RetroPi run on a Zero W?:

If SNES runs at 10 FPS on a Zero, I wouldn't be surprised if N64 emulation set it on fire.

You can run SNES using the older snes9x cores and performance is acceptable as long as you aren't trying to run superfx games. Even psx performance on the pi zero is not bad using the standalone emulator.

The question I would ask myself in your place is if I'd rather do without or rewrite my scripts than trying to adapt many unfamiliar scripts that may break again with the next update.

@vasquez109 residualVM, it's an emualtor ment to emulate 3D adventure games

Thanks for noticing. The scamming site is actually using Recalbox, which is quite similar to RetroPie and has a similar license.

Thanks for the help.

To update, it looks like everything is working after disabling the favorites and last played menus. I also updated what I could to the latest; there was a conflict on setup script so that wouldn't go without massaging. I still feel like the underlying problem is still there and would come back if I re-enable, but I'm not going to pursue farther.

Glad it worked out !
NOTE: I added some code blocks around the scripts code so it's easier to see and (maybe) copy&paste for future users.
