Question: Why is Virtual Boy (lr-beetle-vb) not part of the main packages?
-
In my experience, lr-beetle-vb has always run well on my system (Pi 3), and I have never had problems with slowdown, incorrect controls, graphical glitches, or anything else. Why is lr-beetle-vb still part of optional, and not in the main packages?

I believe the idea of the main packages category is to group together the most popular and commonly used system emulators. As much as I love the Virtual Boy myself, I don't think it's generally known to be that popular with the masses.

@mediamogul there are also known issues with it primarily it's save settings and there was another one too... I think it crashed using loadstates or something like that.

You know, it's funny. I use the emulator quite a bit, but I don't think I've ever used save states in it. I do use the battery saves and they seem to behave themselves.

some reading for reference: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/issues/1625 I pushed a tiny patch upstream for some saving bits but it isn't really much of a fix, just a bandaid. a lot of the mednafen cores have saving issues.

Much appreciated. I set my
/opt/retropie/configs/virtualboy/retroarch.cfgaccordingly. I've never experienced a crash myself, but I'd hate for it to happen after a long unsaved play session.
