I've missed the exact time when but sometime recently Neko Project II Kai core has finally returned to the Vita builds and although it's runs tad slow, adventure games and such play fine with it.

Anyone else been having problems with the latest version where you can't play a game with a different core after playing one with another core?

Hi,

I have a problem with RetroArch 1.7.7 and 1.7.3 on my PS VITA 3.60 enso. I put all roms in UX0:data/rom/gba, UX0:data/rom/snes Then I try to scan the folder (see screenshot) but nothing happens. I tried to scan each subfolder (snes, gba) on its own. I know that once I had a version of retroarch on my vita that could after scanning list each system with the name of the rom. Now I have to select each rom by "load content" and select the file. What am I doing wrong or what do I miss? I tried to use the "online updater" and downloaded everything. No chance.

I have this same issue. I'm new to using RetroArch, so I might be showing my blonde side, but if anybody has suggestions to help a girl out, please suggest.

Ill add I'm trying with a tiny collection of gb, gbc, and nes games, none are zipped, but are in respective gb, gbc, and nes folders. I can load each rom individually. This works cut its cumbersome. I would like to have play lists for each core. Eventually I'd like to add other cores like ps1, genesis, psp and mame too. I can load a core, but no Playlist gets created after scanning, so I never see the controller icon for the core on my screen. Can I hack a file and drop it in the proper directory to make retroarch think it created the Playlist? Or is there a way to manually create a Playlist?

Hello! Does anyone know a method that allows you to use sleep mode with the Vita and Retroarch with the PS1 and Sega CD cores?

Hi! Just what about Ecstatica 2

 

[dragonz]

how do I check which version of retro arch am I running?

 

[AkitoUF]

how do I check which version of retro arch am I running?

Lower left corner in the main menu without having a core loaded.

I ran this line in a bat file to dump the current dosbox config from retroarch: "config -wcp ux0:/data/dosbox.conf" This writes the current dosbox.conf to your memory card in the data folder. From there I FTP'd the dosbox.conf to my PC and then edited the file. Make sure these lines are set as follows: "core=normal" and "cputype=auto". Then remove lines for cycleup and cycledown. Also make sure to set "scaler=none" The reason for this is you have to set core type to normal or simple as it will try to set to dynamic which will fail with c2-12828-1 error on launch every time. With scaling on graphics will be much slower. Then you can set lines in autoexec section to launch specific game.

However once game is launched you will need to go to retroarch options and manually set cycles and GPU (vga or S3), you will also need to go to controls and options to define controls and set controller type to mapper. If you set the right analog as mouse axis, the Y axis will be inverted.
IF you want to change this you will want to launch a program to invert the y axis on the mouse before game is run. Here is an example:

[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
# You can put your MOUNT lines here.
mount c ux0:/data/dosbox/
c:
cd ctm21b4x/inverted
ctmouseY.exe
cd ../..
cd raptor
rap.exe

Make sure when you are done playing the game, to go to retroarch menu and use exit/close content then close retroarch. This should save keymap files etc if saved previously and load them next time you play the same game. You will want to enable unknown extensions in the load content settings to see the conf files in the data or any other directory.

Google this to find a link for cute mouse on vogons forum: "ctm21b4x.zip ctmouse v2.1b4 with inverted axis".

I have uploaded my dosbox.conf as dosbox.txt. I did download midi control files to retroarch's system folder to enable midi and my configuration reflects this.

I have been able to launch abuse, another world, raptor call of the shadows, settlers2 and zone66 using this method. Raptor plays quickly with music and sound at 2000 or 300 cycles.

So far the c2-12828-1 error only occurs if there is something wrong in the configuration file and does not indicate that the emulator can not play or handle the software you are trying to launch..

If anyone wants me to try running a specific game or if they are having issues feel free to ask here and I will do what I can to assist.

Anyway to run LOLicon with the pcpsx core (playstation core) without crashing my vita tv?

 

[sonoranreptile]

So I cannot get any rom from any system, no matter the core I use to save via a save state. It just stays on "0%: saving state" at the bottom of the screen the entire time i'm in retroarch. It goes away after I restart but no saves anywhere. I've installed the stable 1.7.7 and the latest nightly and it does the same in both. Any ideas WTH is going on??
