@mitu thank you very much

@roslof Hi, not sure of the correct etiquette of commenting here, but I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for your efforts on your Retropie & N64 compatibility spreadsheet. I have been referencing it for some time now as I continue to build my arcade collection for my Pi400, but I checked it yesterday and noticed you completed it recently! A massive undertaking by you, and congrats! And I wanted you to know that I (and I'm sure others) appreciate your efforts! Good job! :-)

Kind of you and glad you've made use of the sheets. The project isn't over, as I update it from time to time when I have chunks of time available. Takes a few weeks to go through the ROMs, so can't do this with each major emulator release. Also some good help from a small number of people keeps me on my toes.

Thinking about handling CHD games next... We'll see.

@liquidpolicenaut do they still happen if you turn off the dynarec via https://retropie.org.uk/docs/RetroArch-Core-Options/#setting-core-options ? (this may decrease performance)

Rip your CDs as cue/bin files directly. Verify the files are correct by comparing the checksums for the .bin files and the .cue file's contents with the ones published on redump.org. You can use ImgBurn on Windows to rip the disc to .cue/.bin files.

@george-spiggott said in General Duckstation discussion:

Has anyone succeeded at running any games at 2x resolution at a reasonable speed? Even on an overclocked Pi4 doesn't seem up to this. This is certainly an emulator that will grow in usefulness as the capability of Raspberry Pis increase although I think I will probably stick with PCSX Rearmed in the short term.

I have been running a few games (spyro, ff1/2, crash bandicoot, ONE) at 4x res, with 32x msaa at over full speed (Vulkan hardware rendering). My pi4 is overclocked, but pretty much stock RetroPie.

@windg
I am having this same issue with my f310 game pad and Legend of Mana on the psx. I have tried everything including setting all 8 pads to analog but to no avail. The switch on the back of thr f310 is set to X-Input mode, so the analog should work. What am I doing wrong? I really want to play this game on my retropie.

Update:
I finally figured it out. After doing the above, I had to save a config file for this game and then hit select and the B-button to reset the game while my settings were in effect. After it reset, I was able to use the controller. I was about to go crazy trying to solve this.

@dreamcastkid thx! not using the SCPH1001 bios did the trick.

@Baitbit said in [Theme] prosperoOS - A Playstation 5 inspired theme for Pegasus frontend:

@PlayingKarrde can you use it on raspberry pi 4.

I don't have an RPi 4 to test but I don't see why it wouldn't work perfectly on one yes.

Welcome to this forum. 👋

See https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Playstation-1/#bios

While both lr-pcsx_reamrmed and PCSX-ReARMed have an emulated BIOS to fall back on, it has limited compatibility so most games will have issues running with it (or not work at all), and all games that use memory card saves are prone to save corruption. It should be considered mandatory to manually install an official BIOS.

I should note that I found out with Resident Evil 2 it is a 2 disc game, but depending which disc you start with depends on the character/story. You still need to swap with the other disc part way through. For this I have combined them both discs twice, so two PBP files, one going 1-2 and the other 2-1.

@wmarcio the github has both build instructions and
pre-built binaries. if you're running linux mint then you're sorted - just get the linux binary.

@ferhound Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

@windg Yeah, sorry for my rudeness. I dropped the thing and I feel better now :)
I'm just a little bit annoyed that retropie is the only versatile tool there is to do as much as I want (which is configure everything) but that its soooooo unorganized (it reminds me of Blender ah ah, wonderfull tool too but too messy for my taste)

I stopped trying to configure retropie, I'm tired to have to search in the doc for every little thing because nothing make sense. Even the folder tree is a nightmare -_-.

Well sorry again, I won't polute this forum any longer. Cheers.

I was instructed in one of the threads on here to make an alias to the folder on the usb drive containing the roms and just replace the folder in the retropie roms folder with the same named alias. That also works. One thing that I like about that is I could at any time just delete the alias and replace with a folder to return it to reading off the sd card, or you could have part of a folder on the usb and part on the sd (if you don’t mind having two subfolders in ES).

Alright thanks! Last question (I would like to work on a new theme) Is a PS4 like UI possible with Retropie? So the selected icon isnt always in the middle? Thanks!

@mitu thanks that worked a treat!

Might be unrelated, but I've had random issues with this build and previous ones, but devs can't reproduce it. For example, ES wouldn't save my inputs until I re-installed ES from retropie-setup. Maybe it's my bad card (a few months old) or the card reader's bad.
