Ok, editing the .cue file helped. This is interesting as the unedited file worked fine on the RPi, but not on the x86. Go figure, learned something new. So now the game launches and gives me an error that the firmware file is missing, scph5501.bin to be precise. However, the file is in the correct folder. So, one step closer, not there yet.

@mitu yeah, it's optimus.

i feel stupid, thanks alot EDIT: wow performance is absolute garbage, how can this be, i looked in some forums, and everybody is like "oh you need dual core" dude i have a quad core 3.4 Ghz i7? Is it the settings or is it ubuntu itself?

Batocera Linux has a x86 and x64 distribution image. I don't know which linux distribution it is based on.

@eddygenotype You're welcome! I have been sort of obsessively documenting things in RetroPie lately, and your question was well-timed. :)

@BuZz Haha no worries mate! Thanks for the help!

YAY! got it working thanks to https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/18409/guide-getting-emulationstation-to-work-with-fs-uae Had to install fs-uae manually first because of the gpg error then try to install with retropie-setup then follow the step above All you guys rock :) Time to go shoot some guys in Walker

@Thorr69 @Parabolaralus Ok, thanks for the help and info!

After hearing the replies I think I will just power it on with the front button. Thanks for the replies!

@Efriim said in Which emulators benefit from Vulkan (x86)?: lr-Kronos(Sega Saturn) - In development The author showed interest in it and bought a book for this purpose, but development hasn't started yet. That's why i said in https://www.libretro.com/index.php/kronos-1-7-0-new-renderer/ that it was added on the roadmap but to not ask for an ETA, at the very least don't expect anything this year.

I think I found the solution. In mupen64plus.cfg you can find the overscan options. Need some fiddling around with it but probably this is what I was searching for. Though I don't know why the standard resolution (640x480) doesn't need overscan and higher resolutions need this to be able to fill the whole screen. Any one know why?

I just added an exec functionality to my multiplexer: The idea is, to allow external programs to be executed on a button press. This can be used to enable/disable special functions which are triggered by external executables: Here is a demo and you get an idea why I need this functionality:

@mitu Quick update. Changing line 447 in /opt/retropie/emulators/mupen64plus/bin/mupen64plus.sh fixed my problem. I have changed pulse to alsa. Further more I've created a simple script, named n64audio to run at start/boot. In this script: #!/bin/sh sed -i 's/pulse/alsa/g' /opt/retropie/emulators/mupen64plus/bin/mupen64plus.sh Made the script executable sudo chmod +x n64audio After that sudo crontab -e And added the line @reboot /home/retropie/n64audio Now after every reboot pulse will be changed to alsa in the file /opt/retropie/emulators/mupen64plus/bin/mupen64plus.sh , if the line pulse exists. So if I update RetroPie and mupen64plus gets updated and overwrites my file (and put pulse back in to play) it will be overwritten on the next reboot. Again, thanks for all your help!

well i just double checked which one i have just remove xboxdrv and tried to install xpad but ran in to the package that is unavailable of the linux-headers-generic and what i have been reading it is not available on Debian it goes by the Linux version and the architecture. (edit) well i manuly installed dkms then had to go in to the script in the retropi setup for xpad and comment out the depenicy for linux-headers-generic since the needed linux-headers for the current linux verson was automatically installed when i manually installed dkms so i commented it out so the installer would continue and install xpad and that worked.

@mitu Thanks. Though I find it hard to believe I'm the only one wanting to use a x86 machine but with the same user experience as RetroPie on a Rpi. So no desktop just plain retro gaming, seamingless. I can't find any good tutorial on this. Makes me wanna go back to my Rpi... Problem with the Rpi is that it isn't powerful enough to Run Dreamcast and GameCube games.

Thanks for the reply. Removing the line autospawn=no enabled PulseAudio again if I'm not mistaking. Already tried the 3rd answer on that thread with no luck.
