@lostless Not as of yet, still fairly new and my schedule is limited but I am playing when I have down time pretty much been with 2 games and only the 1 has had issues

@mitu Thanks! That was the bit I needed to change. I replaced "standard" with "dualshock" and now analog controls work :)

@DesertStorm Hey my dude, I'm experiencing the same issue with my other emulators. I'm also running it on a pi4. how did you get it resolved? Did you have any issues with the screen resolution and pi4? Saludos

@mitu said in [PSX] psxImagesManipulator - reduce storage used and easily use multi-discs games: @otanein Are any of the PS1 emulator in RetroPie able to play .ecm files ? @mitu No. As said here https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Playstation-1 for the list of emulators and compatible formats. Edit : that's why my tool now uncompresses .ecm files before recompressing them to .chd which is supported by all PSX emulators. Also, Retropie Wiki recommends the .m3u playlists for multi disks. My tool builds them : https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Playstation-1#m3u-playlist-for-multi-disc-games

@pi2user I heard someone saying the same, so I would like to try this version. It's a shame, the only way to play this game is to use save states. At least now I know it's possible to finish the game! :P

@Clyde I'll try to figure that out (I'm new to retropie). thanks.

@zululegend Fixed: I removed psx rearmed files and installed from the optional packages via source. I was working with the main packages before.

@washburngopro That might be run-ahead instances. I think the setting is found under "latency". Could set it to zero, I never use it but it is okay with some Nintendo games. The bios is good, you should keep it. Rarely (Arc the Lad Monster Tournament) do I ever have to use no bios. If your pi doesn't have any heatsink, airflow, cooling fan, radiator. It will overheat and the SoC/CPU will throttle undermining performance in some games. While it is possible to underclock and increase the soft/temp limit to get adequate performance for PSX, good ventilation is still needed when playing 4+ hours.

So I disabled it, and played a few rounds of SNK vs Capcom 2, and some time around the hanger in Tony Hawk 2, and it works perfectly! Thanks! :D @pjft said in Random 1 second freezes with all PSX games: @njscorpio turn it off. See if it helps.

After spending the weekend thinking about which procedure was done wrong, I remembered that I performed many installations and updates hoping to fix the problem, so I downloaded a clean .img and installed it again. After reinstalling the OS the control worked correctly, thank you anyway.

@Shadowkiller324 Check the pcsx.cfg in /opt/retropie/configs/psx/pcsx/ the first line should have the bios name. I know you have probably tried this but update the pcsx emulator. I wouldn't give up hope on the lr-pcsx, I use it for every psx game. Maybe one of the retroarch configs has a problem, like; system_directory = "~/RetroPie/BIOS" being something else You could backup both /opt/retropie/configs/psx/retroarch.cfg and /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg if you have them, or if youre not attached to your configs then you could delete them. A new one will be generated and you could copy it as configs/psx/retroarch.cfg then restore the configs/all/retroarch.cfg.backup.

@Shortgaze ps3 controllers are good, windows drivers used to be hard to install. My problem with arc arena, I tried the usual things including HLE bios but I didnt get a full reset for it to work because of autoload. I didn't think of deleting the config, doing so changed the default system directory to the content folder so no BIOS was found and so it loaded the HLE and worked. System Directory was the first setting I changed back, and the controller stopped working when it loaded the SCPH bios again. Anyways thanks.

@quicksilver that sounds very right, it happened with the update to retroarch 1.7.6.

@mitu sure bro, again thank you very much

@mitu I will be trying the script thanks a lot @mahoneyt944 Never thought about this thanks bro u guys r awesome, once it works I will tell u guys thx

There are also a couple GBA titles to check out.

@BobHarris Ok I'll check it out! I'll install it from PuTTY and see if there's any improvement. I can always reinstall everything and keep going with a clean installation, that should do it as well. Thank you for your help!

@simpleethat I tried it a few times to try and get to the memory card manager, I didn't even realize that it was because of an .m3u. I always turn it off, like its a big no, or I'm in a hurry to boot my game. And now I'm kind of interested, with the same interest that we get when we first turn on our playstations. I'll leave it on and see what I find. I half remember the playstation bios telling you what bios you're using but, I must have imagined it as all I ever see is PCSXtm. On my Raspberry pi 2, the BIOS screen was difficult to get the sound perfect without any drops. I spent a while changing the audio freq, but then overclocking almost got it to perfect. Random: If you leave Final Fantasy IX on for over 99.59.59 then the clock resets and changes color, mine was red, I don't know what impact this has on the game.

@BJRetro I think I did the lr. But when I went to update, I could not find the binary option. Only from source. I'm also not sure what the difference is :s Thanks for the tip, this might be it. Will look up how to do it.
