Hello - would it be possible for someone to outline the steps to get this working in one post? I've gone through this thread but confused about where to start exactly.

Thanks

@ReadyPlayaWon thanks alot, I actually have both lr-yaba's up and running and was wondering about the standalone versions. There thread seemed to jump back and forth between Yabause and yabasanshiro or I was just tired and couldn't follow :)

Side question - I can get Saturn Bomberman to run on lr-yabause but its pretty slow. I've been trying to get it going on lr-yabasanshiro but I get a back screen. Anyone know what my issue can be? I could be missing a bios but I haven't been able to find a requirement list for lr-yabasanshiro.

Without the patch that was discussed in this topic, lr-yabasanshiro will not work on the Pi4. I'm not sure if it applies cleanly (or at all) to the latest lr-yabasanshiro though.

Works fine for me on lr-yabasanshiro .. no black screen, and game appears to be running at full speed and perfectly playable :)

Version: 1.8.5 - YabaSanshiro (v3.3.1 73c6766)

@ReadyPlayaWon damn I'm jealous. I'm going to double-check my version and work on it again.

And @mitu I have the shader patch installed, other games are working well; its just bomberman that won't load at all.

@Scout53

The version of bomberman i tested was ... Saturn Bomberman (Europe).zip

ran it through CDmage to combine the 30 Tracks of *.bin files ... then compressed with CHDMan to .chd ... ended up being 331MB

I'm not running any shader patches that i know off ... runcommand resolution setting 640x480

I'll post more settings of my settings tomorrow ...

Its running with Bomberman (Japan) version :)
But its really slow ...
@ReadyPlayaWon
Will love your settings :)

@ReadyPlayaWon @shavecat ok thanks guys, I'll some different roms and extensions.

Ok, here's all my settings for Saturn Bomberman (Europe) plus a short demo youtube video link below

/opt/retropie/configs/all/videomodes.cfg

lr-yabasanshiro_SaturnBomberman = "49-17"

49-17 = 640x480 @ 60 Hz n/a (25.18 Mhz, nhsync, nvsync, driver)

/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/config/YabaSanshiro/Saturn Bomberman.opt

yabasanshiro_addon_cart = "4M_extended_ram"
yabasanshiro_force_hle_bios = "disabled"
yabasanshiro_frameskip = "disabled"
yabasanshiro_multitap_port1 = "disabled"
yabasanshiro_multitap_port2 = "disabled"
yabasanshiro_polygon_mode = "perspective_correction"
yabasanshiro_rbg_resolution_mode = "original"
yabasanshiro_rbg_use_compute_shader = "disabled"
yabasanshiro_resolution_mode = "original"
yabasanshiro_sh2coretype = "dynarec"

/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/config/YabaSanshiro/Saturn Bomberman.cfg

all_users_control_menu = "false"
video_crop_overscan = "false"
custom_viewport_width = "1280"
custom_viewport_height = "1024"
custom_viewport_x = "0"
custom_viewport_y = "0"
aspect_ratio_index = "23"
input_overlay_enable = "false"
video_scale_integer = "false"
video_shader_enable = "false"
audio_mixer_volume = "12.000000"
audio_volume = "12.000000"

My Pi4 Overclock setting ... /boot/config.txt

over_voltage=6
arm_freq=1875
gpu_freq=650
v3d_freq=750
core_freq=550

Sorry for the quality, and the gameplay ... difficult to hold the phone camera in one hand and play the game in the other. But, i hope you get the idea :)

Also, the game will play faster ... maybe too fast, by disabling vsync and lowering the audio resample quality in the Saturn Bomberman.cfg .. example

audio_resampler_quality = "1"
video_vsync = "false"

@ReadyPlayaWon
how do i install the lr-yabasanshiro /YabaSanshiro?

Darksavior

@ReadyPlayaWon I've only tried the US Redump release. Freezes at sega logo with bios, black screen with hle bios.
The japanese version works with the bios.

Yes, looks fine. I played the JP version, but it was pretty similar to the video (which has the US/EU (?) version). I don't think I had to add any special settings, the gameplay was 60fps most of the time, occasionally dipping to 55fps during cut scenes - completed it in one go then got my bomb handed to me during multiplayer.

Saturn Bomberman is the game that can be played 10 player, isn't it? Has anyone tried that?

you would most probably be pushing what the lr-yabasanshiro emulator could do on the Raspberry Pi.

i think it's lucky the game is even playable with 1 player on the Pi let alone having 10.
