@cyber92 What does 'not working' mean ? What files did you copy and what game are you trying ?

Make sure the .bin filename is correct and corresponds to the name in the .cue file. Linux is case sensitive so make sure it's the same name both for the on-disk .bin file and the file declared in the .cue - see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/PC-Engine/#pc-engine-cd for an example.

@darksavior Thanks, I think this might be it, because it freezes right at the playstation logo, I tried finding info in english on it but can't, any suggestions on how I could try find any info on this?

The USB hub is internal, I can't change it (well, i could maybe). And I don't use that NESpi case, its a different one called NES case, which even don't look like an NES case (its black). Maybe same poor quality issue. I even don't use the fan, because it is loud as a jet. And that pcb is rated to be used with 4 usb connections plus the fan. Not sure if its a power issue.

For now, I will not try more as I don't want mess it up again. I will get a bigger sd card (from 32gb to maybe 128gb, or at least 64gb) and its all done.

@DarioRomero said in Hoto: use Gameshark cheats for the PSX:

I followed the instructions closely but when I bring up the emulator menu theres no directory called Extra Stuff. What am I missing or how can I fix this?

Are you sure you are using pcsx-rearmed and not lr-pcsx-rearmed? That last one is the default if I'm not mistaken. In pcsx-rearmed the menu opens when I press Escape on a keyboard. If it doesn't then you might be using the LibRetro version of PCSX (i.e. the mentioned lr-pcsx-rearmed). Confusing, isn't it?

Good luck! :)

@mitu said in PSX scraping woes:

@baviaannl Have you checked the video files - played them in another video player ? Maybe they're encoded differently and (even) VLC cannot play them. If it's not the gamelist, maybe it's the videos.

VLC on my Mac can play these files OK, tried a few media players without any issues.

Thank you everyone, now it's "working" but I'm not sure why. I've started again from scratch with a fresh installation, and it's working fine out of the box, as @ChuckyP said. At least is working with the padtest iso, when I push on R3 it starts running the weak motor, and with L3 the strong one. I suppose that I messed up something while trying to install/uninstall packages and stuff.

However it's not working with Final Fantasy VIII. Vibration is enabled ingame, I've tried with several bios and two different copies from the game, without success. Anyway, if it's working with the padtest then it works, and based on other comments I suppose that this feature doesn't work for all the games, but I need to test it more.

Thanks again everyone for your help!

@point7 Start the game. Open the Retroarch menu (Select+Y on your xbox controller probably). Go to Options. Change Pad 1 Type to Standard. Go back to the quick menu and Resume.

You're welcome.

Did you just cut the most orgasmic console startup sound ever ? Shame on you and your family.

Nobody got this issue? :/

EDIT for PCSX2: all is ok. It works fine. Found how to do :D
EDIT for PSX: can't find anything for this issue. And if tehre are 2 players, i have to do same change for all players, not only for the first one.
Yet, when game is loading I can see Core remap file loaded. But doesn't use config in this file.

@nathiel in the RetroPie Setup click on the tools option and select the EmulationStation line. The first option in the next menu is clear controller configs. After reboot you will be prompted to configure your controllers again. Unless you have a very specific custom config setup this will be the easiest way to start fresh.

@mitu

thanks, I'll look for that option after the scraper has finished (found that while looking for the install options and once I realised what it does I just had to do it).

not all have the same files it seems... Driver has a .bin.ecm file, GTA2 and Dark Forces have a .bin and .cue file, Rayman has a .bin.ecm file and dozens of .ape files, Spider-Man has a .ccd, .sub and .img file... Those are the only ROMs I downloaded because they're the only games which I actually bought (for my brother's PS1) but I don't see a real overarching approach here. I don't have a bios file... I saw the Dreamcast page saying something about that but I didn't even have its map so I didn't think anything of it. I see both the Dreamcast doc and the PS1 doc talking of a BIOS file but I didn't get that the emulators are actually missing files; I don't know ehat BIOS files are and do, or where I should get them (probably worth a Google, I'll do that today).

@nicky_s14 Have you tried transforming them into EBOOT files files ? They can be compressed while changing the format.

note that when you used enhanced resolution, the resolution is doubled. so shaders will have to process 4x as many pixels (ie, probably run slowly), and the effect will be less obvious since the pixels are much smaller.

@mitu
Thanks for the response once again mitu! I thought there might have been a bios, since I tried a couple of games and they loaded without giving me a "missing bios" error.

@psyke83 thanks my dude im still really new

@mitu Good point. I did visit that page, but obviously did not look good enough. :-)

@thedatacereal
Ok. Can I check the card's read speed with win32 disk imager ? Didn't know that. Will try.

Anyways I wrote the default retropie 4.3 image on it, using the method I use everytime, so that's why I think about the card.

The network transfers on it seemed slow to me, too.
