@mortalwombat said in Any SegaCD/Turbografx-16 fans here? Recommendations welcome:

Never really played the PSP and am a bit skeptical to do so if the Pi already has trouble/can't play the PS2

A pi 4 handles many psp games surprisingly well. Even more performance can be gained by overclocking and setting the display resolution to 720p instead of 1080p via the runcommand menu. Some games will require a little frameskipping and others will be fine without it.

@rva-818x-laystar Don't use 'Reset' from RetroArch's menu, since it will disable any configuration done by RetroPie - including the BIOS folder used as 'System Dir'.

Rename the retroarch.cfg file from the pcengine folder or delete it, then re-install the emulator before starting any PCEngine games. Re-installation will re-generate the RetroPie's default configuration for pcengine.

@UberLumby You can adjust the volume just for the pcengine system by editing the retroarch.cfg in \\retropie\configs\pcengine and adding a line with the audio_volume option:

audio_volume = -1.00

@mitu I think it's from the limited specs of the Pi Zero. I was actually really surprised that both CD based systems even worked on a Pi Zero in the first place. Somebody told me that they tried CHD files for both emulators on a Pi Zero and the Sega CD didn't perform well. Essentially a CHD File is a modified 7zip archive, so I'm not really surprised. I will eventually test it myself and update this thread when I know.

@edmaul69 In the end I tried a different game, I hadn't tried others as I'm not a big PC engine fan just wanted to play that particular game, no problem.

So I acquired a copy of the game from a different source, and that's running no issues. Must of been a corrupt file or something.

Thanks for your input @Darksavior @lostless

@ruckage Not fan of these emulator boxes. There are way too many other emulation boxes that do a better job like the Nvidia Shield TV. Original OEM Hardware will always be the best and can never truly be replaced. You can use your carts, flash carts, HDMI adaptors, original pads, pheriperals, no lag, and no glitches. Ps i’m looking for parts to repair my PC Engine let me know if you plan on selling the original motherboard.

I copied the syscard-file only in the bios-folder and didn't change the names of my cues and bins.
Everything runs fine.
