I had a little experiment with my 1.0 Tomb Raider ROM. I always thought it was odd/impressive how small the file was and while play-testing the 1.6 file I noticed that music played in exactly the same places where the 1.0 file locked up. So I merged the 1.0 .bin file with the other 56 1.6 .bin music files into one big .bin file (effectively replacing the 1.6 game .bin file with the 1.0 one) then converted it to a .pbp file. The 1.0 version now works fine without locking up. It seems that whoever created the 1.0 ROM simply discarded the extra .bin music files for some reason and the game was locking up when the game looked for them. Problem solved.

@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.

@mitu LOL Wiseass. :) Yeah I did use Selph's scraper. I like the videos. I did check that es_systems.cfg file before I posted just to make sure. Love the search function for problems. Had MANY I didn't have to post for because it's already on here... usually with your name on it. :) EDIT: Yep. my gamelist.xml file has a bin and a cue entry. Shaved out everything that said WWF and it only shows one in ES now. I just re-scraped that one game. Thanks. :)

@Tackskull I thought it was pretty clear: Go to the /opt/retropie/configs/all folder. Remove the retroarch.cfg file. Copy the retroarch.cfg.rp-dist file to retroarch.cfg. Repeat the step for the psx system, as @quicksilver mentioned: Go to the /opt/retropie/configs/psx folder. Remove the retroarch.cfg file. Copy the retroarch.cfg.rp-dist file to retroarch.cfg. If you don't have the retroarch.cfg.rp-dist file there, then remove the retroarch.cfg file and re-install the PS1 emulator, it will add the file automatically.

@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 :).

@mitu That's exactly the combination I'm using to "restart" the emulator. Basically, the main issue is with this way to restart. I've also heard, there might be a different way (L1+L2+R1+R2+Select+Start, didn't work gor me).

@quicksilver it sure does. I know support for Chd v5 was added to the Libretro core last year, it looks it was added for the standalone emulator also.

@megaJekan said in Is it worth it to upgrade from Raspberry Pi 3 B to Pi 3 B+ for faster PSX emulation: @dankcushions with setting 480p as resolution and disabling shaders slowdowns in Tekken 3 are minimal now. nice! but you really don't have to use 480p. like i said, pscx-rearmed is full speed (other than the same slight micro-slowdown emulations issues) on a pi2 at 1080p at default settings.

Tested the srm save on my end as well and can confirm it works so it is definitely something wrong with the save states causing an issue in the game. Sucks losing the option to use save states but at least I can play through the game again. Thank you all for your help. edit: still happening after I open the retroarch menu to toggle cheats or something, have some ideas I will test and post my findings later

It took some time, but I finally came across a working .pbp image. Thanks for your input. :-)

Please add the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first to your post. The controller configuration should be done in Emulationstation, it's then automatically translated into RetroArch configuration file(s) so you don't have to re-configure your controller in again in RetroArch.

Just tried a few with the (re-)modified configs/all/retroarch.cfg : Atari 800 now uses the analog stick only - with whatever assignment (digital or analog) N64 seems to do the right thing now: only the analog sticks work In PSX only the dpad works So all in all, quite a weird combination which doesn't seem to make too much sense. @mitu said in (PS3) Controller configurations across different emulators: Actually, not all is lost (well, not so dramatically). While it may not be an option for the emulator, you can trick it by re-modelling your controller - Xboxdrv. It does require more setup work though. Will see. For now I guess I will stay with the analog stick working as dpad option. Either way, only one emulator does it wrong then (N64) besides PSX which seems to do it wrong all the time, while then at least I have the choice of using one or the other control with all remaining emulators. By the way, after switching off this analog=dpad mapping, In Vice still both controls worked, which makes full sense because in Vice's configuration screen you can define the dpad and analog controls separately - in a working manner ;-) EDIT: The challenge for the PSX emulations is probably the fact that the analog version of the PS controller was released "belated" in 1997, a long while after the PSX was released (by that time only with a digital controller). There weren't too many game titles also which actually supported the analog controller feature, and those who did obviously did that with regional limitations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_Analog_Controller All in all a relatively complicated topic, which might explain in a way why analog support works quite well in the N64 emulations (where an analog controller was provided natively) and not so well in the PSX ones. There for the most part, it seems to depend on the game itself and even its country code, if Dual Analog Controller or even Dual Shock Controller support actually works. The latter one does for me in a few games, e.g. Driver II, but then again the real analog stick support I couldn't get to work, neither for this nor any other PSX game.

Okay so I got the following cheats for Final Fantasy 8 entered and uploaded into the files but when I activate them in the game menu the only one that actually works properly is the 255 AP and the Infinite Item Usage. All Items and All Cards doesn't work properly (All items gives me 100 potions and All Cards give me 127 of one card) I've checked multiple times and they are entered correctly, can someone please give me some insight as to why they aren't working? I threw the Master Code in there after the fact but it didn't change anything at all. cheats = 18 cheat0_desc = "255 AP After Battle" cheat0_code = "80078CE0+00FF" cheat0_enable = "false" cheat1_desc = "Infinite Item Usage 1/2" cheat1_code = "D01E459E+A0A3" cheat1_enable = "false" cheat2_desc = "Infinite Item Usage 2/4" cheat2_code = "801E459E+2400" cheat2_enable = "false" cheat3_desc = "Infinite Item Usage 3/4" cheat3_code = "D01E45AA+A0A0" cheat3_enable = "false" cheat4_desc = "Infinite Item Usage 4/4" cheat4_code = "801E45AA+2400" cheat4_enable = "false" cheat5_desc = "All Items Maxed 1/2" cheat5_code = "5000C602+0001" cheat5_enable = "false" cheat6_desc = "All Items Maxed 2/2" cheat6_code = "80077EBC+6401" cheat6_enable = "false" cheat7_desc = "All Cards 1/7" cheat7_code = "50004D01+0000" cheat7_enable = "false" cheat8_desc = "All Cards 2/7" cheat8_code = "30078658+00FF" cheat8_enable = "false" cheat9_desc = "All Cards 3/7" cheat9_code = "50002101+0000" cheat9_enable = "false" cheat10_desc = "All Cards 4/7" cheat10_code = "300786A5+00F0" cheat10_enable = "false" cheat11_desc = "All Cards 5/7" cheat11_code = "800786C6+FFFF" cheat11_enable = "false" cheat12_desc = "All Cards 6/7" cheat12_code = "800786C8+FFFF" cheat12_enable = "false" cheat13_desc = "All Cards 7/7" cheat13_code = "300786CA+0001" cheat13_enable = "false" cheat14_desc = "Master Code 1/4" cheat14_code = "D009B2B0+FFF3" cheat14_enable = "false" cheat15_desc = "Master Code 2/4" cheat15_code = "8009B2E0+0046" cheat15_enable = "false" cheat16_desc = "Master Code 3/4" cheat16_code = "D009B2B0+FFF3" cheat16_enable = "false" cheat17_desc = "Master Code 4/4" cheat17_code = "8009B2E2+1000" cheat17_enable = "false"

also we can't tell you where to get the psx bios you have to search for that on your own

@pjft I tried running this in the non libretro emulator but it crashes after the Sony USA presents... screen.

ok, then we wait eagerly for the next pi iteration.

@Pierouge I managed to resolve this issue by changing the Joypad settings (Hotkey + X) to default for Joypad 1 (no analogue). You can still use analogue sticks with the game even with this setting turned off. The game loads up and plays normally (at first). It also looks great with enhanced graphics. I hope this helps However I now have a new problem. The game freezes (just the game, I can still Hotkey quit out of the game) when I meet the two wolves after the first save point.

emulator (lr-pcsx) runs at 60 frames, although the game (in my case NTSC Tekken 3) does not even feel like that. am I right that 60 fps emulating a game does not necessarily mean the game itself runs at that framerate?
