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.

Thanks for your answer :) @barbudreadmon said in Armored core - no split screen option: It is possible for any emulator to do this, the main principle is to run 2 instances of the machine, and emulating the link cable between those 2 instances, however : Yes i know this, it's logic :) most of the time, the emulator will need heavy rewriting to isolate both instances from each other (or the 2 instances would interfere with each other) Ok yes, it is a hard work :( that means you emulate the machine twice, so gba or psx with link cable support is a no-go on rpi3 performance-wise. Yes it's what i think, maybe GB can work fine ... or on Odroid ... it needs an accurate documentation on the link cable, which is not something you'll find easily for all systems (actually i looked into this for neogeo pocket some time ago, but couldn't find any documentation) Yes it's always the same problem. Or you must make some reverse engineering, but it is really a hard work :(

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.

@herb_fargus said in Hoto: use Gameshark cheats for the PSX: Other than the layer of retroarch is there any differing formats in standalone compared to the method listed here? https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Cheats/#multiline-cheat-codes The Gameshark codes must be in the cheat file as described above. So no lines like "cheats = 2 cheat0_desc =". That won't work. Maybe the method you referred to works in the libretro version of pcsx-rearmed. But that version won't run on my Pi 1 B+ (probably because the Pi 1 is too slow). :-)

@stoo I guess maybe it chooses the latest version of the specific region then. Thanks for checking!

Hi, thanks for reply. The game you are linking to is Fishermans's Bait 1, this game works great on my retropie setup. But i guess you have a good hint there. I am sure there is a way to map the buttons for Fisherman's Bait 2 also.

@mitu i figured it out- I didnt realize you can still save the traditional way on a pi Good to go!
