@SingingCoyote13 said in Is it possible to read Dreamcast/Ps2/Gamecube discs into an emulator directly via the DVD drive on Retropie/PC or need they all be dumped to a .cue/.bin/.chd/.cdi etc, and how do i dump these discs anyway ?: i was wondering if dreamcast ps2 and gamecube discs need to be dumped to a file for use with retropie pc version, or if they can be read via the dvd/br drives in pcs directly in some of the emulators ? As far as I know, pcsx2 can read the DVD drive directly, for reicast/dolphin, you'll need a disc image if they need to be dumped,. i believe dreamcast discs have a different layout than normal cds, can those be dumped with a regular dvd drive ? Or is it so that if someone wants to play these in an emulator he/she has to download official dumps of these discs ? with what program and drive do i need to dump any of dreamcast/ps2/gamecube discs anyway ? Look around for instructions on how to backup your discs, there are no 'official dumps' provided by the vendor/publisher (though they're plenty 'unofficial' ones). Here are some pointers: Wii/Gamecube - https://dolphin-emu.org/docs/guides/ripping-games/ Dreamcast - http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=GD-Rom_Dumping_Guide

@elysse77 said in Do you need a GPU for retropie?: or will the integrated graphics of the 6600k be sufficient? Main issue you might encounter is a lack of proper support for the integrated gpu.

@Ryan78134 Just so you know..if you buy a Raspberry Pi 3 you can play dozens of systems/handhelds/arcade boards/computers..but ps2 is out of its reach. PS1 works fine and N64 is hit or miss.

@George-Spiggott There isn't one, it's a standalone emulator - https://pcsx2.net.

ok sry

@dam034 I don't use it, so I don't know the answers to these questions. You can look up in the official PCSX2 docs though - https://pcsx2.net/getting-started.html.

Please help!

OK time for feedback. I have succeed to download videos and boxart only, but without game description. How did I do (please, remember that I am on Ubuntu) : download the latest Stephen's scraper program here : https://github.com/sselph/scraper/releases and put the scraper file into the wii (or the related console) directory list item have your own videos into a folder named for example videos download boxarts on libretro project : http://thumbnailpacks.libretro.com/ and put them into a folder named for example boxart make sure that iso names are EXACTLY the same as boxart and videos names use Krenamer or any other batch rename program to rename : -boxarts : add -imagesuffix before .png extension -videos : add -videosuffix before .mp4 extension put all boxart and video files into the same folder named images (very important) then open a terminal and go to the rom directory cd /RetroPie/roms/wii/ and put the following command : ./scraper -add_not_found=true -download_videos=false -img_format=png -download_images=false. For your information : -add_not_found=truemeans it adds roms that are not found as an empty gamelist entry -download_videos=falsemeans it checks the local videos only -img_format=pngmeans it checks the png files (because default check is jpg) -download_images=falsemeans it checks the local images only

I've been running PCSX2 for a while, it is heavily optimized for Windows and you are going to have a significant performance drop unless your machine is a beast.

aah that was simple :-P thank you very much

It's fine to downgrade. Shipped SDL2 should be fine on your system.

I believe that is still in the early stages of development. It's a promising project though.

@spruce_m00se Soft modding your PS2 is badass, I put around 200 games on mine :)

im sure its not your script, i just mentioned it incase. it looks like this: https://www.lazada.com.my/ps2-to-playstation-3-pc-game-controller-adaptor-converter-for-ps2-1077831.html

@landyvlad said in Same game, different systems - does it matter?: Thanks to both of you. The game is an FPS called XIII (highly recommended) I used to play it on PC hopefully will be just as good on RP, as I can;t find it for PC anywhere . I'm not sure which of those categories it fall sin (ie written for one and ported to the other, or multi-platform). But yeah I kinda figured the answer would be try em both and see.... :) cheers I still have that on XBox, although I haven't played it for years. Good game.

@parasven said in Individual per game profiles for pcsx2 [x86 only]: Do you by any change know if there is a guide or wikipage, in case i would want to create a scriptmodule? I answered this kind of question here.

After looking at the code of runcommand.sh i came to the conqlusion, that what is was trying to do is probably not feasible. So i came up with a different solution to what i wanted to achive. Individual per game profiles for pcsx2 [x86 only]

@mitu Presumably Ruby's referring to the video links (which I decided to upload to either mixtape.moe or pomf.cat at the time). Of course, since neither of those sites operate anymore, I decided to reupload it to something that's (hopefully) more reliable. And just for the sake of prosperity, here's the video from the original post and the first update (complete with the never-before-seen original file names!).
