Controls stop working when i start playstation games
-
I didn't do anything in the config editor. The only thin i did previously was just download the game and attempt to bind the buttons, as of right now all buttons are working besides digital pad and analog stick binding. If i choose not to bind the sticks with a fresh install of the psx emulator they seem to work fine but binding them messes it up
-
@Shadowkiller324 Did you follow @Efriim's advice ? Some games don't like analog controls, you need to disable them in the PAD options from the RGUI.
-
Another thing id like to point out is that my menu does not look like that its alot more basic and can only be opened using the escape key on a keyboard

@Shadowkiller324 You're not using the
lr-pcsx_rearmed
emulator, butpcsx_rearmed
(which is only recomended for PI0/1 nowadays).
Use the Runcommand launch menu and chooselr-pcsx_rearmed
as default emulator for PS1 games and then you'll be able to access the menu from the posted screenshot and make your modifications (if needed with the new emulator). -
I attempted that emulator and the games crash immediately

@Shadowkiller324
lr-pcsx_rearmed is much recommended. I have never gotten analog to work in the other pcsxr.
you should update the retropie setup scripts and then update
core packages >> retroarch
main packages >> lr-pcsxr
and then try to solve why it is crashing, maybe run the lr-pcsx with logs enabled via the run-command, I think the logs will be gunzipped in the /dev/shm folder
gzip -d "log.file.gz"Though the dpad should work unless it is mapped as an axis for xbox controllers, did you notice if it assigned an axis# with the input config on dpad?
The xboxdrv is sort of advanced to use ( I couldn't figure it out ) but there are guides if you search for them, and if it interrupts the controller input then just disable or uninstall it.I apologize I assumed you would be using lr-pcsx from the beginning, but didn't gather this information until now.

@Shadowkiller324 Do you have the necessary BIOS files, as detailed in the Docs ?
-
Yes i do
-
@Shadowkiller324 Then choose Verbose Logging from the Runcommand launch menu when you run your game with
lr-pcsx_rearmed
, wait for the emulator to exit (as you described), then get the log file/dev/shm/runcommand.log
from the Pi and upload it to pastebin.com to see what's the error that's preventing the emulator from working. -
I know this is a really dumb question but im 100% new to this so how do i get the log off of the pi to a flash drive
-
@Shadowkiller324 There's no shame in asking :).
Use WinSCP - see the instructions here in the docs. Once you enable SSH and connect using WinSCP, you'll be able to access the PI's files, including the log file I was mentioning. -
-
The only error I see it's at the end
... Compile at bogus memory address: bfc80000
but I'm not sure it has anything to do with the games crashing. I don't see the video or input initialization in the log file. Did you overclock your PI by any chance ?
-
@mitu nope havent done anything to it
-
I don't have any more ideas why
lr-pcsx_rearmed
doesn't work, unless the BIOS file is somehow wrong or the emulator update is not correct.
Try using another BIOS (SCPH1001.bin) and do an update from source for thelr-pcsx_rearmed
package from the RetroPie-Setup script. -
Try finding a different bios, replace the scph7001.bin and use a scph1001 or scph5501. While the only way to select which bios to use is by providing different content in the bios folder. Looking up that error, this seemed to resolve the problem with some memory compile.
As for the controller, we would first want to have the games working. I think as before sometimes the Analog setting needs to be pad1type needs to be "reset" switching to dualshock resume gameplay, then switch back to standard, hopefully would work.
-
So i have looked around for a while and on the old emulator it doesnt seem to recognize my bios on its own, is that normal?
-
@Shadowkiller324
I think for pcsxr the bios needs to be name SCPH1001.BIN all capitals. I don't know what other bios it will identify, but you may be able to rename any bios to SCPH1001.BIN.
