Yes, when I want to play a game that doesn't work correct with lr-pcsx-rearmed I am using swanstation, so far I don't have issues. The development looks active but I think, without be a developer, that they don't do something significant, they are cleaning the code.

By the way, the development of pcsxrearmed is very active, the emulator is improved very mutch.

@windg I'm using both save states and game saves.

Reading up on the issue, this seems to be a well-known problem. If you attack a wanzer with the legs blown off, the game will freeze. Workaround is to enable the "skip battle animation" option, and spam the X button when you encounter this scenario. More here: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/250588-front-mission-3/45417638

Haven't tested it yet; thought I would just leave this comment here for future googlers.

@retropieuser555 hello! I am using the standalone (not the lr)

@br23z I guess my first question would be "What is the difference between Ape Escape and your other games?"

What format are you using? BIN/CUE, ISO, ZIP, M3U? According to the docs ZIP files are not recognized. Do the images work on your PC? I'M NOT ASKING FOR THIS TO BE ANSWERED OUT LOUD 🤫 just ask yourself in your own mind - are they all from the same source? Did you rip them all the same way? Etc?

I'm no LINUX programmer so I can't suggest anything that way BUT my common sense tells me that if one works they all should if supported. My troubleshooting sense tells me to look at my images first then move out from there.

@vodkanakas I mostly rely on savestates, and sometimes save in-game. When I move to disc 3 soon, I may encounter problems.

@buzz oh wow I would never have considered the multi tap options as they've never affected it before! That worked better than expected, now I've got analog on psx that I've never ever been able to get working. Thanks for your help!

@mitu said in PSX rearmed doesn't change settings:

Looks like PulseAudio is still running.
Did you reboot after changing the PulseAudio audio settings ? Try rebooting and checking again with commands I posted earlier. If it's not working, try manually disabling PulseAudio by running

systemctl --user mask pulseaudio.socket

and rebooting.

I have done this:

1-From setup script I tried to disable pulse audio (it was already disable)
2-I tried to enable it—>rebooting—>Still disabled (so from setup script it is disabled and there is no way to enable it)
3-Reboot and ran the game-> no audio
3- I ran this

aplay -L | grep -i pulse ps -ef | grep pulseaudio

And still got the same output
4-reboot
5-I ran this

systemctl --user mask pulseaudio.socket

6-I ran the game and...IT WORKS WITH AUDIO! :D :D
7- Rebooted and run the game again, it keeps the settings. Tried also with other emulators (NES) and the games have audio.

Thanks a lot!

I will try to figure out the analog thing by myself! I try! :D

UPDATE: playing around I made the analog work. I change some setting in the configuration of the emulator. Now everything works fine

@mitu That worked! Hero! Thanks for your quick replies!

@axelbrook Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

@mitu Alright thank you so much, I've discovered that the reason that my control only worked on Spider-Man was because that game supported Dualshock and not all ps1 games support Dualshock. What happened is when I went into the options menu, I had the pad type originally on standard and moved it to Dualshock, not all ps1 games are compatible with Dualshock and are only playable through Standard pad type. Thanks for the article @mitu I really appreciate it homie ❤.

Got it!
Thank you very much @Mitu!!

How does PSx-rearmed cope with multi-disc files as .chd?

@Efriim that was it - thanks a lot!!! I just cleared selected mode

@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.

@quicksilver
It’s literally a 15 minute fix and the standalone for retropie works just as good as the lr version providing you bind your center gamepad button to be able to access the emulator menu.

@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.

@zuuzuu
Hello guys.
I've encountered the exact same problem with ALL f1 games for ps1. 2001 version is unplayable, and others get stuck in the first screen, right after "ea games challenge everything..." Did you guys manage to fix or at least identify the problem?
I tried also an android emulator and got the exact same result.... That's sad, I have plenty of ps1 games on my raspberry, and they all work great...

@Dthruking I don't think this will work with the N64, since it's not a RetroArch emulator. Configuring the controller in Emulationstation will also configure the controller in Mupen64plus - the N64 emulator - so if it doesn't work as P1, you'll have to modify the configuration file - it's in the N64 emulator page.

@gt46l

Yes, I did my own research and decided that you have no idea what you're talking about and are spreading false information. The tool PSX2PSP produces PBP files that can be re-extracted into bin/cue files with no loss in audio or video quality.

You say you converted 1200 game images with PSX2PSP and all the time you thought the audio tracks were compressed into mp3? You are not the smartest tool in the shed then, because the size difference would be enormous for many games if that were the case.

(I don't care what Sony has done with its own PBP releases, they are probably lossy.)
