Especially Akumajou Dracula X: Chi no Rondo. Does RetroArch support this? I can't get this to work. Are there Bios files needed? What core to use? Any help is appreciate. :bow:

hay there!
um to get Akumajou Dracula X: Chi no Rondo (Castlevania: Rondo of Blood)
working in PS vita's RetroArch you need to do the following:

1) put your copy of the game (ISO/WAV/CUE) archive in a ROMS folder in
"UX0: data/retroarch/ROMS/PC Engine/Gamename/ISO/WAV/CUE files"

2) use the newest retro arch version for ps vita (1.7.5):

https://www.retroarch.com/?page=platforms

3) yes, the PC engine/trubo CD emulator for retro arch vita needs the bios to work properly:

https://docs.libretro.com/library/beetle_pce_fast/

the bios (syscard3.pce) you place in "Retroarch/system/ "

just follow the instructions in the link above.

the emulator for pc engine is only 1:

beetle_pce_fast

and it works great :)

I got YS IV Dawn of YS for pc engine that was (J) and
I patched to English dub + text using some tools and it runs perfectly in this emulator on vita!

hope this helps you :)

HUDSON developed an official emulator for his PC Engine Best Collection series. It worked perfectly fine with most PC Engine CD games, including Rondo of Blood.

Tho you will need to swap games and it involves some really old PSP tools like the Codemasters AT3 converter and stuff like that.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
    for people with beefy hands.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    lmao

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
