Hello. I have been actively using RetroArch since the iOS release quite a while ago. I
love the work you guys put into this and can not say thank you enough for all your
hard work! It is shameful to see people create unofficial clones to make a money off
your work!
Before I Begin:
iPad 2,1 - iOS 7.0.6 - Jailbroken
RetroArch - Installed from official "themaister" repo - v1.0.0.1
BTStack - Installed from BigBoss repo - v0.8-3
On to questions.
Here is the main question I created this topic for:
Q1: Memory Card Files: Where are the memory card files and what format are
they in?
I am using the PCSX ReARMed core with PSX games. I want to copy/replace the memory
card that the emulator uses for saves. I am not talking about save states, I found
those files in the /var/mobile/Documents/.RetroArch folder. My configs save
great, save states work awesome, and normal saves work great as well. That is why I am
confused. There is no ".mem", ".mcd", ".mcr", ".gme", ".ddf", ".psx", ".ps", ".psm",
".VMP", or ".VM1" files. Unless RetroArch has a special memory card file type that I
am not aware of, I can not find the memory card file. I even searched in
/Applications/RetroArch.app. I know RetroArch does indeed use some sort of
memory card file as when I load up a game without a save state the "actual save" is
present. (I have tested this on a few games).
The following are now secondary questions, unrelated to the topic above, not
crucial but I would like an answer if possible, thanks!
Q2: WiiMote + Nunchuck: Nunchuck not registering?
I own two official generation 1 WiiMotes that connect seamlessly with RetroArch. I
read that people have got the Nunchuck and ClassicController extensions to work with
RetroArch, however upon modifying the "Input" for "Joystick" Nunchuck does not effect
the menu. I have tried with different WiiMotes and even 3rd party remotes (some 3rd
party remotes do not connect with RetroArch, like the non-genuine PS3 controllers).
What am I doing wrong? I have tried connecting without Nunchuck, then connecting the
Nunchuck, and vise-versa.
Q3: NonGenuine PS3 Controller Support: RetroArch does not like the
controllers!
I own two non-official PS3 controllers (fake ones someone sold to me on eBay) and they
work great besides the obvious cheaper components and different bluetooth
protocols/identification. Because of this, RetroArch fails to connect to either
controller even after proper pairing via PC. A 3rd party application, BLUTROL, (sorry
if you do not like me posting about other tweaks, I will remove if necessary), is
capable of connecting perfectly with the remotes and I have used it over the RetroArch
bluetooth a few times. It works, but not perfectly because of the obvious "not
officially integrated into the app".
I was wondering if there are any plans to allow/workaround to connecting these non-
genuine controllers.
Thank you for taking the time to read this,
I appreciate your support and your dedication to RetroArch!
