@UDb23 said in Micro PC - i5: best OS & Launcher for emulation ?:

Update on windows testing: latest Dolphin version slightly improves performance (option to use multiple cores seems to help).
P.N.03 and Gauntlet Dark Legacy at 2xIR (720p) without any noticeable slowdown.

How does the original arcade version of GDL run?

Thanks for the reply that makes sense. :)

For the benefit of anyone else stumbling upon this via Google (I understand the last post is a year old), and trying to get Retroarch to work with Parasite Eve 2 with PSX Beetle HW.

PE2 really hates having certain settings changed from defaults. The 2 main ones are;

-CPU Dynarec (disabled)
-CD Loading Speed (2x)

Here's a quick screenshot of settings that should guarantee to work (with Retroarch on Windows anyway).

Unless it explicitly says otherwise C64 roms (and Amiga, Spectrum, CPC ... all the classic 'mostly' European home computer systems) are PAL and run at the correct speed and music pitch on an emulated PAL C64. The problem then becomes running a 50hz system against a fixed 60hz refresh rate LCD, causing jerky scrolling, which you solved by switching TV mode. 'Mostly' NTSC systems with NTSC romsets like SNES and Genesis need to run at 60hz though (otherwise it's jerky scrolling and wrong speed again, this time too slow), so there should be a way to dynamically switch refresh rate for each system. I'm working on it, but my bash scripting skills are low to non-existent :)

And yes, once you cross into 3D systems it's another ballgame completely.

@johny8 How did you determine that ? You claim is rather ridiculous. 'Sabotage' ?

Amazing Thank you

Forgot to ask about the best memory distribution? Since I remembered that you can change it via startx pretty easily.

Also thanks for the help so far!

Using Kodi 18 Beta 4 as well now and I like it alot.

please fill out https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. the logs, especially.

Thank you for the fast answers.

Now I understand. I didn't understand that the m3u-Option is a separate method to pbp.

OK. Then i can go back to work :-D

Thx

@MrLightgun said in American Laser Games playable on the pi 3?:

Video quality is a bit poor

I love FMV games, but your quote applies to pretty much all of them! XD The low quality cheese is part of the charm.

American Laser Games stuff would be a challenge, but the Sega CD versions that I have are definitely "craptastic". I would definitely play the Sega CD versions as I've yet to get any Daphne or Saturn version to work.

@buzz if you can report this one

@reaper91 Don't enable 'Save configuration on exit', it's not compatible with the RetroPie's configuration hierarchy and messes things up. If you want to save your settings for a particular core/game, use Core input remapping.
If this is your first time using RetroPie, I'd advise to start again from scratch and re-image. After configuring the controllers, just start a few games/roms and test them and if you still have problem, ask here.

I like to pull that tape of and use thermal paste. I never trust that stuff when it's preapplied.

odroid go isnt running retropie i dont even think its running Emulation station

from what i understand its running a custom launcher made to look like ES

@mitu Thanks for the addition, I forgot to mention that.

@Addison As mitu said, my tip doesn't apply to HDMI, sorry.

@driagonv

I'm afraid not at the moment and unfortunately I don't think that is bound to change anytime soon. The DraStic team has had a bit of hard luck, losing key members and even a certain amount of their source code. Right now, the main developer has the all-to-common problem of not having enough time to work on the project. However, there is talk of the existing source being opened up, at which point you'd likely see a lot of revitalized interest and advancement. Perhaps even a libretro core.

@driagonv Don't use save_on_exit for playing with re-maps, use the RGUI/RA Menu to Save Core Remap - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/RetroArch-Configuration/#core-input-remapping.

@mitu Thank you, y will do the last recomendation that you say and I will use the information of this video

@dankcushions @jamesnj thanks for the replies, @jasonw how did you install your fan< did you put a hole in the case and place the fan there? and if not how did you install it because the case I will use has 2 holes/vents for airflow, one at the top and one at the bottom, so I am wondering whether the fan should go at the top or bottom vent or should it be installed into the case.

Not a chance
