@TPR Hi i just tried it, too. But i had a strange outcome:

I don't know what that means, but the emulator is running (and quite well, from the few games I tried).

HotD still has no sound, though. Maybe you can point me to other problematic games and I try those? I don't have High Velocity to try...

@sirhenrythe5th Hey, thanks for these suggestions! I'll look into them.
Sadly I must admit, that I'm a very bad at playing Shmup's. But I love the aesthetics, though.

I remember buying Ikaruga for DC when it was released as the "last" commercial game for the DC. ...and the crushing difficulty when I finally played it at home... :D

@bbilford83 said in Yabasanshiro exit game:

@shavecat OK great. That I think I can help with. Go to \retropie\configs\all\emulationstation\ and you will see an es_input.cfg file as well as an es_temporary.cfg file. If you open up the former, you'll see a list of all the controllers your setup currently will recognize and their mapping. Each one will be introduced with a line that looks something like this: " <inputConfig type="joystick" deviceName="8BitDo SN30 Pro+" deviceGUID="05000000c82d00000261000000010000">." Now open the temporary one, and you will see it will only list one controller. Replace whatever is in there now with the correct controller info from es_input.cfg, then save.

At least for me, that fixes the emulator mapping in yabasanshiro so I can exit again, but I've had to do it again anytime I connect a different controller to my pi.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

@sleve_mcdichael Thank you so much!!! I will definitely give this a go once I returned home from work.

edit: It works and now I am able to update to 4.8. Thank you so much!!!

@superfromnd I got the game pre-patched initially, so a few minutes ago I decided to patch the original JP files using the tutorial from that website you linked. Each of the different checksums for the ISOs were the ones indicated and they patched with xDelta3 successfully. Loaded up the game and I still get crashes.

So I started thinking maybe the issue was to do with the files being split as .iso/.wav/.cue instead of a .CHD file or a .cue/.bin. I tried using Isobuster to convert it back to a bin/cue format and was able to launch the game but still got the same crash. I thought maybe I had done the process incorrectly so I found someone else's conversion to a .bin/.cue format and the game will still crash at the same point. I also found another person's version of the game in .CHD and yep, same crash.

the crash specifically happens at this point in the longplay above, where you examine the gun in this opening office segment. You can examine other bits like the cigarettes and the machine on the right, but clicking either the gun or the picture frame crashes it. I dunno what's going on with the saturn hardware wise, but it transitions into a still zoomed in image separate from the rest of the environment, and that's where the crash seems to trigger.

It's so frustrating that I can't really get any more information from yabasanshiro (I also don't seem to be able to get much from lr-yabause because it just hangs at the section as opposed to crashing outright).

@dankcushions said in Questions about yabasanshiro standalone emulator:

@projectfirestart sega rally works for me

I have to rectifiy this a little, it works in fact, but i have a crash when race begin that i can't trace, it happens first time i load game, then crash to Emulation Station, if i run game again it seems to work.
I am unable to find a specific pattern, happens both championship and time attack mode. It's weird but it happened also on libretro version and issue seems gone once enabled HLE Bios, but standalone version dosn't have that option...

@buzz Yes, it is working now. Thanks for the quick fix.

I just now did what you said and that solved my problem. Thanks a ton. You are a lifesaver!
