Hacking Emulation RetroArch/Libretro Thread: PS Vita Edition! Nightlies Included

[AttackOtter]

I hate to ask for help since I probably missed something easy, but when I start a retroarch core, I can't select anything and none of the vita buttons seem to do anything at all. It's not frozen (I can press the home button and exit the program), but I don't know what to do.

Did you try restarting it?
In all seriousness though, is this occurring prior to starting up a game?

Yup. Just stuck on the menu and can't move anything.

Are you using the latest nightly? and if so, have you tried other nightlies?

I have a previous nightly wonderswan core installed and it worked fine, just installed the PSX core and neither will let me select anything now.

Latest version of HENkaku? Also I've heard that if you delete the default Config file (located on mine in ux0:/data/retroarch/config) then RetroArch will rebuild it, but I've not tried myself.

Deleting the config file worked, thanks!

No problem, just enjoy some classic gaming goodness.

I do have one question, is there a keycombo to save state? Saves don't exactly work with the PSX emulator yet haha

Edit: Nevermind figured it out

Anyone wanna get a compatibility thread going for this?

Said this before, and I'm gonna say this again:
Compatibility listings for this, especially right now, is absolutely pointless. The thread is supposed to gauge general performance and easy access to Vita-specific information, NOT a listing of compatible games since that's shared with the core itself on other platforms, and PCSXR doesn't even have optimization patches enabled for it, which is noted to be coming soon; so making a chart of it NOW would be a waste of time, at the moment...

I just merged a PR by frangarcj which should apply some more optimizations to PCSx ReARMed, if everything goes well it should be in the next nightly (2016-09-27).

Aaaaaand case closed.
Exciting news, though; let's hope it works.

just tested my converted PS1 to EBOOT.PBP, it works in PCSX rearmed.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

i'd go the EBOOT.PBP route as it produces smaller files compared to BIN/CUE files.... PSX2PSP tool to the rescue!

Just be aware of compression artifacting/sector bugs/mismatches with EBOOTS. It's... iffy from experience.

i've tried the 09-27 nightly and it works. thanks for this! i cant tell firsthand though if there was a speedbump or whatnot.

 

[bopz44]

just tested the new build as well, i have around 5fps gain, it's incredibly smooth, thx a lot to the devs

 

[UNREALWINS]

tested mortal kombat trilogy has sound 100%?

Mk Trilogy and MK 2 run perfect here.

Hello guys, so i have a question..
There is a way to change the confirmation button (Circle) to (X) ? If so, please someone shred some light on this mistery for me

Sorry if it's already been answered somewhere else in the thread, but does someone understand how to properly map the analog sticks to work like they should on dualshock games, or at least how to map L2 and R2 to them? The menus are a bit over my head.

Nothing in RA lets you configure analog sticks.
So no.
