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

[Imhullu]

Try putting the bios files in uxo:data/retroarch/system and see what happens then.

It won't detect any bios when I do that.

Try just SCPH1001.BIN

Oh cool. Thanks man. Also I meant to say pokemon fire red. Not pokemon red. There's a difference. Lol.

No worries man, hopefully you find Adventure Red as fun as I did

Still crashes. Same C2-12828-1 error.

Is this crash when you just start to run a game or at some other point?

Mostly when I start the game, but for Valkyrie Profile and Guardian's Crusade, I can get to the first opening video/display.

Right, it might be worth trying a different rom for the games that don't work and report back on your results.

Anyone know when we're going to get more buttons support for PCSX? I'm only able to use D-PAD for movement, and I would love to have access to L/R2 and L/R3 via touch screen and pad.

I see. Well, thanks. I have come across another problem, though. I get consistent crashes within PCSX when running a number of different games as .pbp files. For example, Clock Tower. The pbp files I'm using come from my PSP and work fine on there. I'm wondering if there's a detail here that I might be missing.

For the record, I've been able to successfully run a few of the games in the absence of the BIOS files. If it is the pbp files, then should I try downloading them once again? I'm fairly certain they're not corrupted, but for the most part, with the exception of Spyro, I can't even make it to the main opening menu of the game without a crash. Below I have a screenshot of the bios I have.

I've tried copying and pasting a game to the ux0://data/ directory, but got the same results.

you're not trying to use psn versions of the games are you? those will never work with this and either only load up the bios menu or crash....as for bios the ONLY files you need are 7001 for usa games and 7502 for eur games

You can set User 1 analog to digital type from Input user 1 binds in RetroArch for vita and set left or right stick to work as Dpad. Cybersled and Ridge racer 4 seem to work fine in limited testing few rounds and 1 race.

Dosbox is working but not taking input, mapper.txt doesnt seem to work. Very awesome work from libretro team!

No, I'm fairly positive these were made with PSX2PSP a while back. VP, Guardian's Crusade, MML, and others aren't(or weren't) available for purchase on PSN. Thanks for the bios tip, though. Is there any particular one for JP games I should use?

And Galick, I'll play around a bit with titles and check back.

Try using SCPH1000.BIN spelled exactly like that.

@Imhullu Also make sure to use bin/cue format with PSX emulator. UltraIso or other program can convert ISO from PSX2PSP to Bin/Cue. As far as I know that is the only format that work right now.

PBP files work fine with the PSX emulator and are even recommended thanks to saving a ton of space. All of my 5 current games are in that format they've given me no issue over the past few days.

That said, since the latest nightly it's unable to read or write any savefiles and states. Guess I'll just go back to the previous one unless someone has a solution?

 

[Zephir1991]

Question - I've got some older PS1 games from the store (bought them ages ago), but my Vita refuses to install them, can I play them trough the PCSX emulator, or do I have to convert them somehow?
Thanks. c:

PCSX - Mega Man 8
Totally playable until the boss in the opening stage. Before the fight starts the camera scrolls to the left, killing Mega Man instantly.
Death by camera bug.

 

[esneuse]

I've got to try the new release.
This PSX emulator works better than I thought possible.

 

[Deleted User]

Is there a way to enable analog sticks in game? Im assuming that Im missing a big setting somewhere

 

[Michael_92]

I might get shit on for this but is there a way to run it in 16:9? I just prefer it to take up the whole screen.

There is an option for that in the video settings
