@tropersneo please provide ALL the info requested here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

especially including verbose log, but also please provide /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-core-options.cfg

note that your "libretro.cfg" (what is this? there's not file of that name in default retropie) looks to be non-standard. a retropie default one for /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg will be much smaller, for example.

@sleve_mcdichael said in 1on1 PSX Background issues:

@adambegood just so I understand...the solution was "fix the code and recompile your emulator from source" or am I reading that wrong?

Yep, change Line 35 of the scriptmodule to BUILTIN_GPU=unai and then Update from Source. Let me know if you need more detail on how to do that, I am no pro but could just about manage this!

@drdave79 Nobody's playing Time Crisis on PSX? Has to be someone :)

@mobyz28 said in pcsx-rearmed and lr-pcsx-rearmed errors on pi4:

Based off your comment that the lr-pcsx-rearmed should be installed already, I am going to assume I have a bad download and I am going to reattempt the install.

I don't think you need to re-install. Just copy your PS1 games to the psx folder and restart EmulationStation, they should show up and you can start playing.

@bswin821 Please stop spamming this topic.

@danmac2 said in No Dialogue or Music in PSX ROMS (pcsx-rearmed):

@dankcushions I have every BIOS you can think of in the bios folder

ok, and the verbose log?

Having looked into this, I edited /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/Wireless\ Controller.cfg to set input_l2_axis and input_r2_axis and now it works :)

after poking around a little more online i think what i want to do is set the console/terminal resolution and colors after exiting pcsx-rearmed to how they were before launching pcsx-rearmed.

these are the framebuffer lines in my /boot/config.txt:

framebuffer_width=320 framebuffer_height=240

(not sure how colors are set - i don't see any lines about that.)

but i don't think i can just add these lines to my quit.sh script mentioned in my original post, can i? because those aren't commands. (i just tried and it had no effect.)

@jthomas5150 you should be using the default which is the neon renderer. what image are you running?

@quicksilver Will give it a try and report back. Thank you!

@quicksilver
please file this under bad behaviour on my part. Updating the setup-script and getting from source again fixed it..
Thanks... sorry for the run around.

@dankcushions Yep. I disabled the dynarec and games run fine. Here's a verbose log when the dynarec is on: https://pastebin.com/SxzD5GzU

Thanks for the fix!

@152adam Just tried it in bin/cue format and the soundtrack is working now. So it seems likely the .chd format is the source of the issue with the cd audio. Wonder if anyone else has noticed this problem.

@dankcushions said in Pcsx_rearmed ignores the offset settings:

@reruns_towel it makes perfect sense to me :P you want to add fake overscan to your screen. you can do that in the way i instructed, and that would apply to the whole system. the way you've previously done it is to add overscan to the console (command line) only, and then adjust each bit of software to solve the issue, which as you've found, isn't always possible.

Sorry for the late response, That's why I made my changes:

I forgot to post the following entry in my config.txt:

dpi_timings=320 0 10 10 10 **512** 0 5 2 5 0 0 0 60 0 9600000 2 pi@retropie:~ $ vcgencmd dispmanx_list display:0 format:XRGB8888 transform:1 layer:-127 src:0,0,448,320 dst:48,0,448,320 cost:338 lbm:0 display:0 format:RGBA32 transform:20001 layer:10000 src:0,0,512,320 dst:0,0,512,320 cost:374 lbm:0 display:0 format:RGBA32 transform:1 layer:20100 src:0,0,15,9 dst:463,2,15,9 cost:98 lbm:0

it is possible to pass the following mode in run-onstart.sh for pcsx-rearmed:
display:0 format:XRGB8888

@oleguer said in Cant load MTV Celebrity Deathmatch on Pcsx-rearmed:

I "read" the game cant load becuase have in the name "deathmatch" Really?? xDD

No, it's not because of the game name. The crash means the ROM is either invalid or not supported by the emulator.

Check if your disc image is correct - the .cue file should contain a reference to the .bin file, from your log it looks like the .cue file might be incorrect ?

That being said, there are a few PS1 games that are not working on pcsx_rearmed - I think this particular game might fall into that category, see this topic.

This info is covered already in the Docs - including where to copy the BIOS files, since RetroPie already configures RetroArch.
Note that some games have issues when the 'boot to BIOS' option is selected in lr-pcsx-rearmed.

After an evening of pondering this, I have figured out what I did to screw it up. I have created multiple images of RetroPie setups that were reasonably customized and saved piles of things I referred to as "Clean" associated with those. (For example, known good ROMS, BIOS, and Meta Data like Scraper results.)

What happened was that I missed a step trying to recreate my steps. So here's the abbreviated version of what I did that messed it up.

Wrote the correct, unaltered, unupdated 4.5.1 image to the SD card (I really couldn't believe I would have written the wrong image). Copied vast amounts of "Clean" altered configs (for a setup that was designed for SNES controller compatibility, and thus didn't use PSX). Boomie. (At this point, I believe my copying of configs was all it took to scramble it up.)

It should have been obvious when the pixel art launch screens came up (part of the config I just copied), but I honestly recall thinking "Oh cool, 4.5.1 uses the same pixel art things I liked for launching games."

Thus, to your point, I had 4.5.1, with a bunch of 4.4 config wedged in manually after the fact. Worse, because my previously configured system never used PSX (not enough RasPi power when I created it, and not enough buttons when using SNES controllers), I had no idea that there might have been a bug with it that had been hiding in what I was copying.

Thanks for the feedback.

If your Gpi is a newer model, the select button was changed to the start button, so select+DPAD LEFT becomes start+DPAD LEFT.
