you should add the nightly 24-3-2017 it completely fixed every issue with the psx core for me. now i can finaly play every psx game on my vita without dropping under 59fps

Can we put the Vita to sleep, then wake it and start playing again without the Playstation game freezing/crashing? I REALLY hope so...I mean, I actually bought (i.e. actually paid for PS games I already own on CD) PSone games to play on my Vita since this hasn't worked on RetroArch since I installed it...

the nightly was released yesterday so i dont know for sure. i was playing metal gear solid at night and when i woke up the vita was in sleep mode and the game was still running. just try it out by yourself, seems working fine to me

Uninstalled current and installed the new one, however I can no longer detect my roms under my rom folder.

Just tried it on my Vita, it still has problems with at least one Spyro 2 cutscene (the intro, right around when Ripto breaks the portal Spyro came in through), but that's more the core itself, as the same cutscene breaks on RetroArch Android.

When you go to load a rom You need to go to the options/settings and toggle the unknown extension or something like that haven't touched my vita in a while. For some reason it does for my games doesn't recognize the format unless I toggle the option

PSTV still crashes when loading content, also applied vita-fix permissions vpk and ran it. I'll be reverting back to 01-18, last known working build.

Anyone know how to fix battle lag on final fantasy 9?
Game runs flawlessly until I enter combat, getting a small audio stutter and then it spikes everytime I cast a magic.

Running the same game on pc with espxe theres a "combat fix" that fixes this problem.
Is there something similar or a setting or so that I can edit to make it run smooth in combat?
Dont have this issue playing final fantasy 7.
Running latest retroarch psx emulator

Thanks in advance

Install the VPK that has ALL the cores, for me, that one worked, except for NeoGeo one.
But I only tested the Genesis Plus GX and Gambatte cores...

I'm using pcsx on my Vita and I've tried both Chrono Cross and RE3 but now the controls won't respond to the games at all anymore. I haven't updated anything. Strange.

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.
