@Cape-City Yeh, that's the one!

So an update to what I've tried.

I found this post and set the hotkey button to the 10 (xbox guide). I set the menu input toggle to f1 I ran apt-get update / upgrade

None of the above solved my problem. 1 & 2 did indeed change the hotkey button, but only in non 64 emulators and the 3rd one seemed to screw up my controls really bad. So I deleted the cfg's in the hopes it would restore the controls and upon reboot everything was working really funky.

I think I'm going to re-install and try again.

I'm really confused as:

The documentation doesn't seem to match what I'm experiencing. Changing configurations seems to cause random bugs. No matter what I do I cannot control PSX games.

This is lunacy.

I will re-install and try again, but does anybody have a dump of working .cfg files for for the xbox 360 wireless remote with dongle? I feel like thats the only way I can confirm this isn't a bug.

Once again I'm running a pi3 with xbox 360 wireless remotes.

Solved it by turning down the brightness of my TV a bit.

Its working now. Seems like between the time I installed it (last night) to now there has been a change. Running the update all packages resolved the issue!

@leoleopold said in Why failing to save game process of FFIX in PSX?:

@lostless Yes, save state can be saved by Select + R1 and loaded by Select + L1. You can change the save state Select + arrow-key-left/right. I think it works. Thank you!

Those are called "save states", I thought you had problems with the normal in-game saving. Well, enjoy FFIX it's a great game.

@PetroRie i used the wrong type of rom (.iso was supposed to be used)

before implementation in pcsx-rearmed it needs the GL pcsx plugins (i believe the PEOPS plugin in pcsx-rearmed standalone is an earlier version of Pete's) working. these will be MUCH slower on a pi than the very optimised NEON software plugin that pcsx-rearmed currently uses.

so, i don't think it would be playable on a pi. you can run a backported version of this in lr-beetle, which is libretro's mednafen psx emulator, which has a PGXP implementation. it runs v slowly on a pi, also.

@peterman only works with certain open gl plugins. i think it's working in lr-beetle, but that's unplayably slow on a pi.

@R2dTOO Are you using .bin/.cue files? Might have something to do with the .bin files being hidden. Stick an eboot .pbp file in there and see if it shows up. I use .pbp files and it displays the number of games no problem. In fact I wish I could turn this off!

@mikeh1982 you can also use sites that you out in the YouTube URL and it will download a mp4

I have converted FF7 to PBP but it just keeps sending me back to the game list every time

Using a RPi3 B
Offical RPi Power Supply 2.5Amp
RetroPie 4.1
Built from RetroPie premade image on retropie.org.uk
PS3 Six Axis controller over bluetooth
Emulator lr-pcsx-rearmed

I have figured it out. I had to download 7z1604 and unecm. I also had cuemakerdotnet previously downloaded. After some time I was able to convert my files to .bin and .cue.

The Metal Gear Solid .7z files I had to use each of them to finally create the correct files. For Syphon Filter 2 I downloaded new .7z files. When I ran the files through 7z1604 it created .bin and .cue files for me.

I tested Metal Gear Solid and the game loaded. Played just a the first part and it worked fine, both graphics and audio. Syphon Filter 2 worked perfect too.

ima actually read the document. LOL ima idiot!

@Chuck_B no, it requires quite of bit of power to pretty much ignore all the emulated ps1 rendering code and interrupt it to have it rerendred correctly. The pi just doesn't have the power.
It is possible on PC using a new plugin in the beetle ps1 emulator.

It's probably now saved as "on" in their set-up since they ran it when "on" was the default, and now that option has saved, so they will likely need to switch it off from RGUI.

I thought I had rebuilt the binaries, but perhaps not - I will do that now
