@mitu Yeah I tried that and it still didn't pickup the controllers

@mitu Glad to know I'm not the only one having the issue with Arcade's Greatest Hits - The Atari Collection 1. The fact that both of these games play properly on ePSXe, using the same BIOS (SCPH1001.bin) and ROM files, leads me to believe that it's an issue with lr-pcsx-rearmed. I suppose, worst case scenario, I could try The Atari Collection 1 on SNES and Hot Wheels Turbo Racing on N64 if myself or anyone else can't figure out the issue on PSX.

PS1 games that have bugs in retropie

For one, the emulator on the pi is lr-pcsx-rearmed.
Two. This sounds like the same issue here
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/23519/retropie-freezes-and-looses-save-files
I gave that guy advice to turn on interval saving, so the emulator save to disk during gameplay and not only during exit.

@tobas Patience my friend, patience. You must remember that RetroPie is free and the developers work on this in their free time.

How can I ask the devs of the emulators to help with this light Gun trigger mapping functionality?

Which is your budget?

If you want something with top quality and wish to spend 30, 50 or more dollars, I'd recommend you any 8bitdo bluetooth controllers. These are great recreations of controllers from older consoles such as SNES, Mega Drive and NES. They even created a SNES controller with two analogs and two more shoulder buttons, just like a PS4 controller.

However, if you don't want to spend more than 10 dollars per controller, I'd recommend you USB controllers from older consoles that you can buy on AliExpress. Here's some examples:

NES USB - Around 3 dollars per unit SNES USB - Around 4 dollars per unit Sega Genesis USB - Around 5 dollars per unit Sega Saturn USB - 10 dollars per unit

@DreadfulDreamZz You need to change the controller type in both the Quick Menu's Options and the Quick Menu's Controls, then restart for the Quick Menu's Options changes to apply.

I use DualShock and RetroPad w/Analog as the Core's default options and controls, while I change to Standard in the options and Retro Pad (alongside mapping the D-Pad to the left analog) on controls for games that are digital-only or don't have analog controls then save the changes for that game specifically.

The spreadsheet listed on the wiki is fairly accurate and quick way to see which controller each game used.

https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Playstation-1/#game-specific-control-information

Only covers USA games though. Go to the PlayStation DataCenter for information on everything else: it's what the spreadsheet above was based on.

http://psxdatacenter.com/sitenews.html

Might be some inconsistencies between the two as the sheet hasn't been updated much since creation, incorrect info was seen on the site yet not reported (because I was already putting so much time into the spreadsheet), and it's possible something was incorrect on the site when the spreadsheet was made and is now fixed on the site.

One of these days I need to make the time to update that PSX documentation since it has so many problems such as directing users to do manual edits when things could be done in RetroArch.

Thanks @hhromic .

I knew that it's not easy to migrate from Jessie to Stretch.

Maybe, I should wait for the next evolution of Raspberry Pi... For me, do this migration is a vast amount of time moving files out and in the system.

Thank you!

@CapNinja

I suggest it can be the timer that leads to such behaviour. After 3s of waiting if the PID is active then a kill term 9 is send to process. That leads to a process abort. You can try to extend the time by changing the sleep command or by changing the number counter. I get some obscure errors if a process was terminated with siglevel 9.

No I don't think it has something to do with the script. Sounds like problem with data access from KODI.

Suddenly is a kind of magic, too.

You wrote you use a pendrive, which can lead to problem 2 - writing cache for KODI. KODI responds sometimes slow on pendrives esp. with ntfs format

Unrelated to script.

All in all I think you might get some problems with the powering and the pendrive. To be sure I would extent the sleep timer from 0.1 to 0.25 be aware that a not closing process needs now 30x0.25s time ~ 8s to be forced closed now.

Maybe you can give feedback to this later ;)

@Efriim retropie-setup dialogs can't be closed. As long as the call was initiated by runcommand shell script then every script or binary can be closed. If the runcommand call is missing then there is no pathway for the close switch.

@backstander said in [HELP] PSX Horror Games Not Loading TRIED EVERYTHING:

Keep us updated if you get the Japanese PS1 version of 'Kuon no Kizuna' working or not.

I actually booted up the game, got the to menu, but no matter what I choose (there only 2 entries + a 'Disable Rumble' entry) there's some warning or info message that I can't understand and then it goes back to the main menu. I didn't test with changing the game region from the core options, there might be some DRM/region protection message that I can't understand :).

Hi
I wanted to know if the lightgun is compatible with LR-FBNeo
is it possible to have a list of emulators compatible with it present in Retropie? thanks

@Davedrumx I know this is quite old topic but I believe the thing you are.. or atleast were looking for is SBI Files for certain PS1 Pal games. They can be downloaded from psxdatacenter and possibly from other places too like internet archive.

@CapNinja /
Hey , did u got it working ???? :)

@lovelorn88 I can assure you that I'm not (though I suspect this may be something a bot would say to prevent their true identity being outed)

The irony of this thread is that had you replied with the aforementioned info, you would've had an answer by now and could be kicking back with a beer playing your favourite retro PlayStation title.

Instead youve gone out of your way to ridicule and moan on multiple occasions and you're still none the wiser.

Sheesh.

already plugged suction cups, but anyway for a lot of reasons (i want avoid boring you), i need to add weight to my ps1 case...
Are there some kind of issues with metals as Lead ? magnetic issues or i dont know...
becouse i really need more weight.

EDiT:
thanks a lot to steptoe, for totally answered to my first question.
i will do as you say.

now i need just to understand if there is some kind of problems with Lead in order to ad weight to my ps1 case.

@megaJekan I don't use bi-linear and my monitor is a PC CRT (VGA converter). I would say it looks ok, not spectacular or good. Especially Arcade games are problematic, but that is another story. On the PCSX-ReARMed I use the Shader "scanline.glsl" (Filter:Linear, Scale:Don't care) from emulators SHADERS menu. Honeytly, this does not look that great, but it is the only one working so far. On some other consoles I even use the "sharp-bilinear-scanlines.glsl". On the PSX some games look great with that sharp one, but some others are ugly. Crash Team racing is unplayable ugly with the sharp one, thats why i use standard scanline shader. I suppose it have something to do with different resolutions used by the games.

@BobHarris
I'm glad you enjoyed. It is a bit expensive when you need to buy both the PS4 and the headset but at least you got to give it try. I just upgraded to a PS4 pro myself as I've had VR long enough now and still use it regularly so the upgrade was worth it for me. It does make a big difference in many VR games - Resident evil 7 is much clearer, not perfect but far better than on the base PS4.

Speaking of Resident evil 7 - how far did you play? There is a section fairly early on (just after the first video tape) where you have to walk through a flooded tunnel underneath the house. The water level is just beneath your chin and it seems so convincing I always find myself holding my head up slightly so I don't get the filthy water anywhere near my mouth. During this section the decomposing corpse of Andre bursts to the surface and I was amazed by the detail in that model - I spent far too long examining it complete with all the writhing maggots (it's as disgusting and brilliant as it sounds).
