@tackskull said in Psx emulation is bad:

So why my pc can run more powerfull systems so well, but the psx emulation go so bad?

Because it is not about how powerful the original system is, it is about how the emulator was designed (see http://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/High/Low_level_emulation), beetle-psx is more on the LLE side, i would recommend pcsx-rearmed instead if your computer is not fast enough.
Emulators generally don't care about the cpu generation, the number of cores, ..., they only care about cpu frequency : if your cpu is at 2.4Ghz, for beetle-psx your computer is as good as a 2.4Ghz single core pentium from 15 years ago, which is kinda crappy to run this emulator.

@tackskull said in Psx emulation is bad:

I am able to run psp games on 4x graphics perfectly, dreamcast is running well too and the gamecube with low settings works fine.

ppsspp (psp), reicast (dreamcast) and dolphin (gamecube) all include HLE stuff.

@dankcushions yeah, it's probably as simple as that. I just wish there were some way to fix the issues.

@tackskull I dunno, depends on the core and your hardware specs. Check the libtretro.com docs for your core and see if there are any notes about requirements. As noted in the docs

This emulator is supplied for people who are running RetroPie on more powerful x86 systems.

cool - thanks

@edmaul69

Yeah, it may be better on PC with a keyboard anyway.

@darksavior said in psx emulator not working. tryd everything:

@steptoe Eh..even the most minimal of compression, eboot conversion is still my preferred way. Especially to convert multi-disc games to a single eboot file. You still need a cue file for .img.
It also doesn't hurt that just about every US release is already converted and it's more convenient to download those instead.

I pretty much do the eboot way as well cause some of my games i have copied over to ISO's would total up to around 1.4GB which after converting them to eboot files it would usually drop down to a little over 900mb instead which i am able to add more games onto my Pi because of that.

@pumpkinrat Not sure about settings in the standalone PCSX, but couldn't you change the output res of that pluggin to 1024x768 (seeing as you had it set to 1360x768 anyways) or a res that has something resembling a 4:3 ratio? I set most of my cores to run at 640x480, as that's technically higher than the original res in most cases anyways. Other benefit to the lower res means less stress on the pi, meaning potentially less input lag.

weird stuff: i tried running once again FF7 and it works now, without changing anything...
i'll try with the other PBPs i deleted now, really dunno why it didnt work before

@treedude well that sucks. It would be nice to be able to rule that out. But the xbox driver might be an issue too...

@Darksavior I think that must be the case then. None of the games have a cue file. I have to create them. They just have the binary file.

@ZeroTX

I'm installing via the web interface of retropie manager.

I don't think I've ever tried to install anything using the web interface.

I usually transfer them over using something like FileZilla, WinSCP or Cyberduck.

Not, you might need to enable SSH before you can do this.

Also check your .cue file and make for dang sure that the .bin file referenced in the .cue file is the exact same case.

@workforit11 said in PSX not working:

Also, when Retropie loads up playstation isn't an option as an emulator.

That's because retropie did not see the .cue file. Yes, you must extract them in the psx folder.

@BobHarris I'll look into it then. Thanks!

@spykypie do you mean .7z? if so, you need to extract with a zip program (eg http://www.7-zip.org/download.html) - the files within hopefully are compatible types :)

@Drakaen391 the way retroarch is set up it is probably better to setup like a super nintendo controller and then swap the a and b controls for emulationstation. All emulators using retroarch were set up to set the controls correctly based on that setup and orientate the buttons accordingly

Propbably an another troll. It should take you just one second via Google to find what you need, there are many sites which host the complete PS1 rom library. Insulting people will achieve you nothing.
