@Zach1812 said in PSX Emulation not workin: @dankcushions I read that entire thread and probably understood .... 10% of it? I recognize that Vulkan and OpenGL were trying to work together but somehow it was creating a second version of itself and causing issues. Despite trying to understand how @treymerkley got to the point of fixing it (running a debug in gdb with bt?) I still don't understand how to get there. I'm not traditionally a linux person. you don't really have to understand the thread - it was just for reference. the pertinent part of my comment was: do you have run-ahead enabled in beetle? if so, try turning it off

I belive I found someone who is interested in helping out this light gun community By willing to make a PS1 Crosshair Graphics output for the pcsx-rearmed Not sure what to do now , he needs answers to questions that only mr LightGun could provide answer to , ... I emailed Mr LightGun and and haven't heard back from yet , but one of these days he will get around to messaging me I'm sure , but this is amazing news and potential hope for playing PS1 games with a Crosshair :) .... I'm excited

@marco981 With pcsx-rearmed you can press escape and the menu is black with white monowidth font. The lr-pcsx-rearmed is retroarch and has a colored menu gui. I would try installing and trying the other of which you haven't tried. If it is pcsx-rearmed then the controls will still need to be mapped. Navigating the menu to do this I think is possible with the controller but perhaps easier with the keyboard, as well the escape button needs to be pressed. In the controls menu, assign the buttons, if you press left and right on this screen it will show you Keyboard/Joystick/All binds. And don't forget to save the config when you're done. You could also try installing the alternate driver, for sixaxis/playstation. The sixaxis helper driver is newer and allows other controllers to sync and use bluetooth.

@mitu i just checked an im actually runnin ver 4.4, i can download other emulators and run them on a separate pc and see if they recognize the save files, but it will have to be later. Thanks for the help

@dankcushions I see now. Thanks.

@myname You don't need to use any config file or modify any file whatsoever. Just follow the documentation and map your controller from Emulationstation, skip the Hotkey button assignment and then choose yes to use Select as the Hotkey button. That's it.

cant speak for the standalone pcsx-rearmed so someone else could probly chip in there as for the libretro build its possible to generate game specific overides both for core settings and controller remaps via the quick menu section of emulators menu i use the libretro build myself for specific core settings for certan games as analogue input breaks certan games and enhanced resolution brings in graphic glitches on some too so i have specific configs for these games via the override feature

Well, i must say, i suddenly found a solution that works for now. The analog stick is working, D-pad still no response. Anyway, i changed the controller settings but did not change the up, down, left right. Just left it as the default values. UP : up DOWN: down LEFT: left RIGHT: right I only have changed the buttons. this setting seems to work.

I had a bit of the same issue. If i understand correctly, then when you press the "escape" key on keyboard the menu pops up. What i did, i assigned in the controller setup a unused key, like the right thumbs key for example. I used the LR3 button to let it assign. In my case it made the "LR3 \XAC" key. I saved the setting to global. edited the file " /opt/retropie/configs/psx/pcsx/pcsc.cfg" Changed the line "bind \xAC = LR3" to "bind \xAC = Enter Menu" Saved file restart game. Then pressing the Right thumb opened the menu.

ok never mind i found my mistake. the file extension was wrong. i had ".BIN" and it has to be ".bin" then the .sbi file will work correctly.

@ignatius Not really the place to ask, since the emulator is not developed or directly supported by the RetroPie team. You should try asking on the pcxs-rearmed project forums, this forum is specifically for RetroPie related questions.

@boredgamelad note that the current retropie image/binary updates won't neccesarily include that fix, but yeah from source definitely will. i think if you still get the issue after a source update it might be worth logging an issue here: https://github.com/libretro/pcsx_rearmed/issues i'll try and recreate it soon also!

@BuZz No problem, I understand you perfectly.
