@Solid-One Thank you for your reply. It is interesting that you had no issue with the same game using an earlier version of RetroPie on a Raspberry Pi 2. I have submitted a report at https://github.com/libretro/pcsx_rearmed/issues/350 as you suggested.

@mitu Thanks! That was the bit I needed to change. I replaced "standard" with "dualshock" and now analog controls work :)

Thanks for the replies and the suggestions. As it seems, this capability is not difficult coding-wise, it just hasn't been implemented (yet). Until then, the easiest way still seems to load disks from the menu, it just takes a few seconds anyway :-)

@niccco It is hard to tell what the problem could be, but I'll suggest some things you could try. Update the lr-pcsx core in RetroPie setup if you already haven't done so. I think this game has some form of CD copy protection of which I know very little about, it might be prudent to find a different image or you could try converting it to a single bin/cue pair. https://www.videohelp.com/software/CDMage Use CDMage 1.02b drag and drop the .cue file or open as MODE2/2352 then "save as..." this should save the image as single .bin/.cue pair. optionally https://www.psx-place.com/resources/psx2psp.586/ This will convert a .bin into a compressed format that can also be used with pcsx. Do you have a different controller to test?

@niccco are you using the lr-pcsx or the regular version? lr- wants all lowercase, regular version uppercase. Also, the BIOS folder should be all caps. I learned that one the fun way when I spent several weeks tweaking an external HD from my computer and then plugged it in and so many things weren't working. (that's annoying because I'm pretty sure it's the only retropie folder like that).

that sucks that the bug is not fixed

Retropie v 4.4.2

@dankcushions I see now. Thanks.

I had that problem try remapping your controls in retro arch I had to hold the right trigger down for the control to work I retro arch till I re mapped. Also try Installing the xpadneo drivers seems to work for me I then have to update the xpad drivers for wired my after glow wired controller to work

@Dthruking I don't think this will work with the N64, since it's not a RetroArch emulator. Configuring the controller in Emulationstation will also configure the controller in Mupen64plus - the N64 emulator - so if it doesn't work as P1, you'll have to modify the configuration file - it's in the N64 emulator page.

Its not hard. You just have to hold R2 at the title screen, and the link word will go away. Making it possible to play split screen. Have 2 controllers setup. Hold R2 with player 1 controller at title screen. Link will disappear. I just did it.

I need to point something out here as I had problems using them over bluetooth. Not sure if anybody else has the same problem but it been there since I started using retropie a couple of years ago and is still there now. It does not effect all games but I have noticed it in a few, hogs of war is one that comes to mind. I use to use 2 normal ps2 controllers via usb adapter and 2 ps3 controllers via Bluetooth for some 4 player fun. The 2 ps3 controllers over bluetooth always use to cause stuttering whilst holding the button to fire your rockets in hogs of war, the 2 wired controllers never did this. The way that solved this for me was to disable the built in wifi on my pi3, then they worked perfectly. I now use 4 ps3 controllers via Bluetooth with no problems what so ever now since disabling built on WiFi. Hope this helps just incase you come across same problem. Rob

@Chuck_B 1.7.6 - PSCX-ReARMed r22 cadb885 hope it helps

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

@edmaul69 Yeah, it may be better on PC with a keyboard anyway.

@willindiana You can edit retroarch.cfg and set the driver. May I suggest you try also the lr-beetle-psx core ? It has Vulkan support and since you're on x86 it can be installed from the optional packages section.

@DarioRomero said in Hoto: use Gameshark cheats for the PSX: I followed the instructions closely but when I bring up the emulator menu theres no directory called Extra Stuff. What am I missing or how can I fix this? Are you sure you are using pcsx-rearmed and not lr-pcsx-rearmed? That last one is the default if I'm not mistaken. In pcsx-rearmed the menu opens when I press Escape on a keyboard. If it doesn't then you might be using the LibRetro version of PCSX (i.e. the mentioned lr-pcsx-rearmed). Confusing, isn't it? Good luck! :)
