      https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/30743/lr-duckstation-experimental-new-playstation-1-emulator
      options for removing dithering, increasing internal res etc are in https://retropie.org.uk/docs/RetroArch-Core-Options/

      you can also do something similar in pcsx_rearmed via
      https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Playstation-1/#video-double-internal-resolution
      and

      @reflex1992 you didn't supply the file name of your image. please also supply a verbose log as requested. you can still retrieve them after a crash, as long as you don't reboot or launch anything else.

      @raspberrycoulis i think almost every game exhibits some kind of visual bug with the speed hack on, hence the note in: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Playstation-1/#video-double-internal-resolution - actually even without the speedhack some games can break with double resolution (doom is an example)

      a blacklist for the games that are unplayable with it on is not a bad idea - could be implemented in a similar way to mupen64plus.sh

      This did not take long... :( Already the second save state crashed the game back to the menu.

      Try using the world map radar to find new cities. That is where it was crashing for me.

      i don't usually play these type of games and have no clue how to even access "the world map" ... anyways, will have to take your word for it that it crashes at that point.

      i was just testing to see if it gets past the title screen that SavedByZero it wouldn't using lr-pcsx-rearmed.

      Anyways ... think i'll leave it there. Bye.

      @JustNiko02 Run glxinfo from a terminal and check the version reported by the program. See https://askubuntu.com/questions/47062/what-is-terminal-command-that-can-show-opengl-version.

      Classic remark in case it's the issue: can you try disabling vibration in the Retroarch core options menu and seeing if it improves it?

      @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

      Have a look at this article about hdparm! There are many settings you can tweak!

      @blujumanji when I recently loaded a new retropie image I was really confused because I had the same bios files on my older image and suddenly with the new image the PSX ROMS wouldn’t load. Oddly once I updated the lr-pscx-rearmed emulator from binary it suddenly worked with no other changes. I had thought that wouldn’t be necessary to update because I had just downloaded the “brand new” retropie 4.4 image and the PSX emulator is part of the image so I figured it would be “up to date.” But apparently that is not the case. So maybe try putting both bios folders in again and updating the emulator (go to retropie setup, manage packages, I think lr- psx rearmed is under either main or optional, and then update, update from binary) and see if that works.

      @ProjectMars Did you save a game preset/override with these settings ? Check in \\retropie\configs\all\retroarch\config if you have any game override saved and delete the file.

      Thats a PSP game, not a ps1 game. PCSX-rearmed is for ps1 games.

      @TheDataCereal This is probably the easiest method so far. Do you know what a proper m3u file should look like and how the file should be named so the emulator recognizes it?

      While that's the easiest, I still think this could be much more user friendly. Not knocking your suggestions at all, but as any classic American infomercial would say, "There's gotta be a better way!"

      @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.

      @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.
