No, I said removing the file. So just run rm /opt/retropie/configs/psx/emulators.cfg OR provide the contents of that file.

By removing this file, every game I try and boot now says "no config file" and crashes back to the main menu? This is a bummer

I had to reinstall every single emulator, which was a bummer, but fixed the issue with roms not loading with that error. But I still cant change some emulators for certain games, according to other posts it seems like its a permissions error, so I'll diagnose that. BUT for people trying to solve this, dont delete that emulators.cfg unless you want to have to reinstall an emulator.

Nice, but so where is this advanced speed hacks menu then?

Looking at the menu source at https://github.com/libretro/pcsx_rearmed/blob/40c380a8e8080ecb38159ee5aad1ce149e9889fc/frontend/menu.c , there seem to be a ton of options missing, such as plugin selection, memory card options, advanced speed hacks etc.

It looks like these options were part of a native menu system of the standalone emulator which is disabled/unsupported in Retroarch. I made an issue here: https://github.com/libretro/pcsx_rearmed/issues/176
You can see on this blog how the menu options in the original emulator looked. They appeared on a press of ESC.

Since the native menu system is based on a menu rendering library not available in Retroarch (libpicofe), the solution is to map all the missing options into the Retroarch Quickmenu. Currently, only some of the options are mapped to the Quickmenu.

@dankcushions finally, it's working. Thanks again!

@mitu It's possible but I think it was my installation of lr-pcsx-rearmed because I had another psx game crash on me which now works fine since updating it.

@edmaul69

Yeah, it may be better on PC with a keyboard anyway.

I can confirm that using latest RetroPie in latest Raspbian Stretch with stable EmulationStation it does recognise files >2GB as @mitu stated:

Created a test "rom":

$ dd if=/dev/zero of=$HOME/RetroPie/roms/psx/test.pbp bs=1M count=3072

Then restarted ES, the rom appears and ES tries to launch it normally. Of course the emulator returns immediately, but it IS recognised by ES:

lvl2: EmulationStation - v2.7.6rp, built Jul 11 2018 - 17:57:30 ... lvl2: Attempting to launch game... lvl2: /opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ psx /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx/test.pbp

@pumpkinrat Not sure about settings in the standalone PCSX, but couldn't you change the output res of that pluggin to 1024x768 (seeing as you had it set to 1360x768 anyways) or a res that has something resembling a 4:3 ratio? I set most of my cores to run at 640x480, as that's technically higher than the original res in most cases anyways. Other benefit to the lower res means less stress on the pi, meaning potentially less input lag.

@rion Perfect! Now it works. Thank you.
I recently faced crashes on Driver by select "Try Mission Again" after I fail a mission.
Any idea how to fix that?

@mitu I've already reinstalled retropie like 4 times and I swear, every time I touch the controls and attempt to enable the analog stick on FF7, the controls just break forever. Even if I don't save anything. It's so incredibly weird.

I've reinstalled for the fourth time and it's working (without analog) on FF7, so I'm just going to not even touch the settings. I really don't want to redo my RetroPie image anymore.

I'm just honestly baffled I'm the only person that's ever had this problem with FF7 on RetroPie.

@jonnykesh so i've been fiddling with them a bit to figure out what the issue could be.

using

aspect_ratio_index = "22" custom_viewport_height = "960" custom_viewport_width = "1280"

just to get the window not to fill the whole screen the problem stays.

Well, I don't think that this issue's gonna get fixed but because I was impatient I decided to flash regular Raspbian and I think that I'm gonna just dual-boot Lakka (Since it uses more of RetroArch functions natively).

@darksavior Thanks for the info. I've tried the 7502.bin as well. What I wasn't aware of was that some games have protection, I take it FF8 is one of the games with protection. I tried another game (GTA London) and this worked okay, (not perfectly, but it worked :-D) I'll have to go download the USA set and convert to PBP I guess rather than the EU set.

Another issue, after upgrading from 4.2 to 4.3 and saving a core wide shader preset when you quit the ROM and open it again or another rom from the same core the preset is not applied (at least is saved) and you need to apply it, also in the update I lost my RetroAchievements settings

@madmodder123
I was able to fix it by deleting all but one BIOS file (SCPH1001.BIN)

Im beginning to think its an issue with either retroarch or raspian itself on how its reading streamed data from a disk. It seems to happen when trying to read music or a video. Not only am i getting pauses and stops in pix games, but also sega cd games. hmmm

@dankcushions Okay cool, thanks! For the bit of time I tried without the speed hack it seemed to run smoothly but I'll turn on the FPS counter to confirm. So the speed hack does exactly what it says, speeds it up, I guess it was self-explanatory after all.

Ok so I just played for a couple of hours with no freezes at all using the same PS3 controller but wired instead of Bluetooth, looks like that might be my problem, but I thought the PS3 bluetooth freezes were fixed unless I have missed a step or done something wrong

@edmaul69 along with a heaping helping of gpl licence violations.
