Parasite Eve II Freezing At Main Menu

Rion

@NecroCorey Have you tried to see if the problem persist if you switch to lr-beetle-psx instead?

Darksavior

@Rion lr-beetle-psx is not available on arm/pi's

Rion

@Darksavior It's not installed by default. You have to add it yourself from the RetroPie-Setup.

From the Wiki

@Rion I didn't see it. Also, read a bit lower from the wiki to find
"Where is lr-beetle-psx?

The Beetle/Mednafen PSX core is not available for systems with ARM CPUs (like the Raspberry Pi) because it does not perform well enough. This emulator is supplied for people who are running RetroPie on more powerful x86 systems."

Rion

@Darksavior Bummer.. Really wanted to help you guys out.

NecroCorey

@Rion I appreciate the effort. I'm going to keep poking at it and see if I can't make something work.....somehow.

Having the same problems

pi board 3
odroid x4

retropie 4.1
recallbox 5.1

I've experienced both the freezing to the black screen and the freezing when trying to leave the gun range. I'll be playing around with it and letting you guy knows if I find out any solutions.

Anybody figure this out yet? I'm jonesing for some PE2

Darksavior

@rabbitsnake It's an emulation problem. You'll have to ask the devs in charge of the emulator in their github page.

Heeeeey ppl! Ive found the solution to running this game on retro pi 4.46, under a pi 4 i thought id share. I had the same issue when i was walking to the other side of the shooting range it crashed. Here are the settings that made it work:
Frameskip 0
Use bios hle
Frame dumping on
Pa2 fix on
All 3 speed hacks are on

So hopefully if anyone stumbles on this thread will be happy when it works for them too. Usually with emulation you just need to keep trying different variations until it start working.
Cheers
