My favorite for all games is crt-pi, I love the look that the scanlines give. It looks good with everything from psx, to gba, to snes, to arcade.

@kay-Row Create an account - where ?

My PPSSPP version on the RPi4 is older than on my Batocera laptop.

There's a new option "Render duplicate frames to 60Hz" that improved smoothness significantly on my laptop, but I cannot test it on my Rpi4 at the moment.

In buffered I get this, but I don't know how to change it in lr-ppsspp, but in ppsspp it gives me a black screen.

@Gumdoc said in PSP questions:

I downloaded it last night from source.

Its been a week or two since I last updated ppsspp. It was working fine for me last I checked (Ill update and test on my end to see if there has been a regression). Specifically what games are you testing? If they arent running fullspeed you can have audio issues. Can you try resetting your settings to default in the ppsspp menu, perhaps you accidentally changed something there?

@yeetus-mcreetus can I ask how you installed it and everything? I'm struggling with it

Thanks !
I try for the last 4 days :(
Do you know if its possible to try to do the clone of the ffmpeg first ? its seems that's the module with the problem

I solved this. I changed the analogue control settings at the bottom of the list to match the buttons (not the other way round). This game now works with two analogue sticks.

@quicksilver The heightened resolution isn't a feature I care about much. I was just curious now if there is retroarch like cheats for lr-ppsspp.

@shavecat I have never tried those two games. But I noticed big performance boost after I overclocked my PI. I have GoldenEye installed, but never played jet. Maybe I will try it today and let you know.

This is specific to the ppsspp-dev build that is inside the RetroPie-Extras GitHub https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra

In the most recent dev builds, Retroachievements now work on PPSSPP.

So if anyone wants to play with achievements on for the PSP but the retroarch core is too slow on pi3b/4 then it could be worth looking into this.

@BobHarris Of course they need to read first, minimum requirements are MAME romset from at least 2006 (advance mame linux) and a FBA romset with CPS3 games runs well.

Retro CM3 can be my first option for arcade only games and I'll be ok, and then wait for CM4 for better performance and add home port consoles of PSP and Dreamcast home and their based arcade boards.

I can wait for Raspberry Pi 4 Module in mid 2020 at least.

Nintendo Switch Lite its a plan B one...also I will buy an ipega with gamepad to make my recent smartphone or my 2017 one looks like a Vita but with Android.

@quicksilver

I also remember that on original N64 hardware that if the analog stick was pushed while the game was booting up the crosshair/selector would get stuck trying to go one direction.

I also remember this, very annoying. But once my N64 joysticks were worn out, I put the analog stick back a bit to not have to press it as much forward to have it react.

@jojin If you didn't scrape the system yet, you should also check the option Parse Gamelists Only (PGO) in the Main Menu > Other Options of Emulation station. If your game isn't in the gamelist.xml yet, you won't see it if PGO is set to "on".

@mitu Thx for this. would you happen to know if I define a location of a folder that does not exist, will it create said folder for me or return an error instead?

@Efriim
Harvest Moon Innocent Life works. A youtube kid showed me how changing the PSP CPU Clock to 80 will get the game to load normally and not freeze on the island intro.
System > Change emulated PSP's CPU clock = 80

Harvest Moon Hero of Leaf Valley plays really well.
Graphics > Mode = Buffered rendering
Graphics > Simulate block transfer effects = False

I couldn't get Wagic the Homebrew to work, not quite. The thing was kind of buggy on real PSP. There are quite a few versions, I didn't over exert myself trying to get all the assets to load without crashing, but it does start.

I got Monster Hunter 3rd to play fairly well there are some minor slow downs like in the center of town. Like the other games, they can be played in non-buffered mode, and disable software skinning. Enable hardware transform and vertex cache. The first two games get better performance, overclock is recommended. 3rd has an english patch that is non-HD that and works for ppsspp.
Graphics > Software skinning = False

Kingdom of Paradise/Heaven plays fine.

@Efriim no I haven’t tried that game. Thanks for finding the forum post about standalone psp exiting back to emulation station rather than the psp menu. Good to know since that was my main issue using standalone. Using the retroarch version now seems like a more viable option than it was before in terms of performance based on my testing and it is nice to have the GUI. But i will try this out on my experimental setup to try to confirm it works.
