      Does anyone know how to get the secret characters of Soul Blade/Edge to work? I mean especially Sophitia! and Sophitia!! (and one other I forgot). Whenever I select one of those, the game crashes.
      Iirc this also happens on the PSX emulator of the PS3, but definitely with lr-pcsx-rearmed...

        I'm playing the Metal Gear Solid this period and I'm at a certain point where you have to do something special to beat a boss.

        Spoiler:

        I'm talking about the Psycho Mantis Boss fight, you need to connect the gamepad from port1 to port2 of the PS1 console so he can't read your mind.

        I did this in RetroPie with the use of a keyboard and gamepad.

        So before the fight with the boss open the RetroArch Main menu, then:

        Settings => Input =>

        -Port 1 Binds => Device index. Set it to disable. When you did this, the gamepad will stop responding in the RetroArch, so you have to use the keyboard.

        -Port 2 BInds => Device index. Select your gamepad.

        Close RetroArch (without saving the settings) and enjoy.

        My English isn't at a good level.

          Dynasty Warriors was unplayable because it was running very slow. We can fix this if we change the psx cpu clock from the RetroArch menu.

          During the game is running, open the RetroArch menu and
          from the options change the psx cpu clock from 57 to 78, then choose to save game option fie and restart the emulator.

          If you want to backup the option file you can find it to this path
          /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/config/PCSX-ReARMed

            Many thanks to the developer of pcsx-rearmed emulator. The last updates, fixed a lot of problems. Some games that wasn't run, are working now.

            F1 2001 is now playable
            Formula One Arcade is now playable
            Psybadek is now playable
            Final Fantasy VIII doesnt' soft lock during Lunar Cry FMV

              Hey there,

              I was trying to get "a bug's life" to work with the lr pcsx rearmed emulator on a raspberry 3b, but unfortunately, when the demo from the game menu begins or when i take a few steps in the game, it crashes back to the emulationstation. Everytime it is accurately the same spot

              Maybe i am overseeing something, or is the game not compatible yet?

              Pal and NTSC, both yield the same result.

              Kind greetings

                Yes, is crashing here too. I have play this game 1 year ago and it was full playable, maybe the latest version of lr-pcsx-rearmed introduced some issue.

                With lr-duckstation game is working fine. If you don't have this emulator you have to install it manually. Just put this script : https://retropie.org.uk/forum/post/275475, on this path :

                /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/libretrocores
                

                Then you can install emulator from experimental packages.

                  Thank you for your reply!

                  Unfortunately the URL "https://github.com/batocera-linux/lr-duckstation/raw/master/duckstation_libretro_linux_" is not available anymore. Is there another URL i can point the script to, to install the emulator?

                  Greetings

                    That's not the whole link. It needs the part at the end for the different architecture.

                    https://github.com/batocera-linux/lr-duckstation/raw/master/duckstation_libretro_linux_armv7.zip for example, still works. (The script does this automatically.)

                      Thanks for answering and for clarifiying how it works!

                      The problem i got is, that the download would always time out, for some reason.

                        I would check that the device is online. Can you update the setup script or install other packages? Can you ping 1.1.1.1?

                          @Identifizierter You can try to install lr-swanstation instead from this repo: https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra

                          It's a slightly updated version of lr-duckstation that will build first and then install.

                            Thanks for helping me out. Everything else works fine. There is a connection and I can download and install or update everything else. It just is this one emulator I cannot install
