When you release a performance boost, do we need to uninstall the previous hmods?

I'm also trying to get your ppsspp hmod up and running on hakchi CE but it just hangs for a bit before going back to the game selection menu. Did I miss a file or step to get it working?

Look at complete command line for your PSP Game. It may likely contain .7z extension because of Hakchi2 accidentally compressing it. Decompress it with a right click. Also, after adding ANY Games, or making any changes within Hakchi2, close and reopen Hakchi2, to ensure desktop files save! And, to run PSP, use /bin/ppsspp It is the ONLY Core that can not be started from RetroArch, and needs to always initially be started via main UI. As far as Performance Upgrades, simply install my newest RetroArch Xtreme, and you should be good If you have issues, uninstall previous RetroArch, then install anew Let me know if you ever have any issues! And, you are welcome to post full Command Line for PSP Game, so I can see where you went wrong Enjoy PSP, my friend

Dude you need a pateron or tip jar.

Haven't had a chance to try your steps yet but thanks as always for the work you've put in for this.

 

[The Frenchman]

Interesting, where is the hotfix you are talking about?

try messaging KMFDManic, he's super helpful and he went out of his way to help me many times in the past, he might be busy and wont reply right away but that guy is definitely the real deal. Can't give this guy enough credit!

 

[n00b2015]

Please read my post above but like I said, check your power supply specs must be 5V/1.0A. Anything more or less amperes will cause instability. Probably

Let us know.

Yeah. With 5V/1.0A works like a charm. Thanx

 

[supermist]

Compression was my issue, PSP games load now

However, I can't seem to find the settings to set frameskip to auto and 1. I'm looking at this guide:



Though my retroarch has a newer gui

EDIT: Found it under options. Turning frameskip off and setting it to 0 seemed to increase performance tremendously for the game I'm testing (Legend of Heroes - Zero no Kiseki)

I am getting a C8 error when turning off the classic after playing PSP games though. This isn't happening with games from other consoles. I'm not sure what could be causing this since my folders are small enough and I did try exiting retroarch before shutting down too.

Custom Mortal Kombat Arcade OST, MAME 2003 Xtreme, Core Set Update Did I forget to say Moooorrrttttaaaallll Kooooommmmbbbaaaaatt!!!?

**UPDATE 3-31-18**

First and foremost, DarkAkuma did it! He successfully Canoe Patched Star Ocean!!! Go to the DarkAkuma Sfrom Tool Link below to enjoy this amazing labor of love, on his part! Those who do run Canoe, will be able to enjoy the better lag input and rewind ability!!! I will do a video about his incredible Sfrom Tool, soon

**DarkAkuma's Star Ocean (Canoe Patch)**

http://darkakuma.z-net.us/2018/03/release-star-ocean-canoe-patch.html

Next up, Custom Mortal Kombat OST!!! You will need to use the NEW MAME 2003 Xtreme in my set! It will completely replace the current MAME 2003! It will still work with all of the great Irem, Data East, System 32, etc, additions!!! Command line remains, /bin/mame2003 Samples for Mortal Kombat are in Xtras/Arcade/samples folder! You will need to provide your own mkla1.zip rom set to go with them! Enjoy this absolutely amazing gem of an OST Boost to MK Personal thanks to gpstar, who also went into overdrive to get Final Fight Sega CD OST working with MAME 2003, as well (based off the original idea and coding prowess of big blue frontend!!!) Samples for ffight are also in samples folder!!!

Otherwise, there is a NEW NES Emulator you can play around with, that is is less in options, but quite reliable for a majority of NES Games! Command line is /bin/quicknes You can also load Core/Load quicknes/load content I also Updated NP2Kai, 4DO, SNES9x2005/2010/2016, DOSBox, and RetroArch. TheWez1981 did a fantastic Custom Intellivision Border, which is in km_retroarch_custom_borders_3_31_18 Be sure to check it out

I did two Tutorials for utilizing the Custom Mortal Kombat OST. I have had several requests about Hakchi2 CE Tutorials. So, I used the OST Addition as a Base Point for NAND and USB-HOST Tutorials

On a final note, looking forward to more feedback on any other Games that may need checked into for Performance Boosts Thanks to you All! Be sure to check out the PERFORMANCE Folder, in the meantime! I will do what I can get to get some awesome Boosts into the Next Update!!! Enjoy this Update for now, and have fun with MK and the great CD Quality Soundtrack, courtesy of the hard work of gpstar and the Original People who did all of the tracks. I will do my best to list these incredible Artists, when I can!!!

One thing I noticed before my adapter broke, is that Brave Fencer Musashi for psx (great Zelda like game BTW) runs a little fast. It's not really noticeable except for the fact that you need to rapidly press square to absorb an enemy's ability and this is very difficult to accomplish. Maybe it was my settings but the game seems to run great.

@KMFDManic I backed up my BIOS files like you showed, but I noticed there's no "neogeo.zip" in my etc\libretro\system folder when I did this. I also noticed you didn't
have that file either in your videos. Do we still need to place the "neogeo.zip" file in etc\libretro\system when making the > km_master_bios_module_3_28_18.hmod??

Which one of your old cores had this? Thanks!

Either heavy handed or seriously bad luck. If this new one fails try this one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20-cm-Mi...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2648
Have done many many unplugging and re-attaching of devices to this during testing and it is still going strong. Also its always best in my opinion to purchase 1 with 3 ports to fully take advantage of what usb_host has to offer

 

[johnnytheboy12]

Is this the one that has to be renamed as "boot.png"?

no this one needs ftp to snes and replaces the stock loading image named RAloading-min.png as you can see it says retroarch loading at the bottom.

use these for boot.png



I can take no credit for creating these images.
First image i got from a youtube user.
Second i got from google and the retroach loading image i uploaded was created by using the second image and cutting the retroarch portion from Kmfdmanic retroarch loading image and pasting it over the bottom part of the second image

You running USB-HOST or NON?

Due to their being 4 potential neogeo.zips, I had these separate.

You may have unintentionally changed a setting. Reinstalling RetroArch from my current set should correct this.

Can't wait for this to be hacked.
