The fuse package hasn't been updated in quite some time. Unless you had a very old version, any recent update wouldn't have changed anything in the emulator.

Are you using the standalone emulator or the libretro core (lr-fuse) ? Please add some info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

Fuse has a series on video filters available - scaling/simulating the video output on a TV, etc. Try one of those filters (TV x2 seem to simulate a CRT scanline display).
Not sure of Zesarux has more advanced options, you could give it a try.

@mitu Nope, did nothing, just reverted to 100% when I quit reloaded. And wouldn't be much use anyway, as I want to play it specifically in lr-fuse.

@folly Thinking about it, is it possible it might work on other cores? Is it a functionality all the lr cores share?

@Stevezx81 it defaults to 128k spectrum so some games won't work. Can switch via options in. Retroarch or use 128k compatible games

Thanks!
I can't seem to switch it into 48k mode, I've even found the retroarch-core-options config file and changed fuse_machine = "Spectrum 128k" to fuse_machine = "Spectrum 48K" but it's the same.

Is there a hack of something for Retropie that will allow the D-pad to work instead of the Analogue stick ?

@spud11 said in Mapping a keypress to a joystick (Fuse/others):

My runcommand-onstart file is now 113Kb in size, but I've found it has to be devoted purely to xboxdrv and case $2. If I try to add anything else to it with more general application like trying to invoke a bash script unrelated to xboxdrv, runcommand-onstart just doesn't work.

I run 26 systems that make use of xboxdrv, sometimes having several dozen exceptions made for individual games. I've managed to keep the size of my runcommand-onstart.sh down to 39.9k by offloading the execution of xboxdrv itself to separate scripts. All the if/then stuff is still there, but once the conditions are met, it launches an outside script with the xboxdrv command. That may help to alleviate your situation.

@arelav @Manic-Miner-123 I spoke with the author of some specific games a while ago. (RIP John Wilson, the Rochdale Balrog).

He found some sort of bug in Fuse. It appears the fault is in the loader when line 13 calls the 'randomize usr 65020' routine ... Fuse fails for some reason.

He actually rewrote the loaders for Balrog and the Cat, Behind Closed Doors II and One of Our Wombats is Missing so the games will load. I don't know if there are any other developers' games which are affected by the oversight.

Where the game is keyboard dependent, like text adventures, I use Fuse, not libretto Fuse (lr-fuse.

Most .tzx games should work though - where they don't it's usually the case that you need to select 128K machine or Spectrum +3.

In rare cases, but especially Russian games, you need to select a machine like the Pentagon and specific instructions, such as for TR-DOS.

@elshiftos spectrum scraping works just fine with screenscraper. I've uploaded a ton of box scans but nowhere near a complete set. It is picky with the filenames though so maybe check on the website that you're romnames are correctly named?

Sorry for resurrecting this old topic. I have the latest code (1.5.7) working now with a patch. Will finish it off in next day or two.

@tashman F1 -> Options -> General -> Status Bar (I think I had to enable Auto save settings also or it wouldn't stick)

:O) !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Many thanks for the info, I thought it might be that. Getting the system roms proved to be a bit of a sod. First ones kept giving me 'drive errors', but I came across a fuse package on Aminet and got the correct system roms from there. Watching 'Weed' right now... looks brilliant running on the big screen.

Thanks very much.
