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

[jdestroyer97]

exactly as 3rd Strike (39-45 fps). And since the game launched is treated always as 3rd strike even if is a hack...

I just wanted to see if the speed increase since I last tried it

you have the 3rd strike hack to launch?

 

[sj33]

Why do people think it won't launch? If it launches on standard PC FBA...

You are able to launch 4th strike, so?

The bios must be SCPH5501.BIN, not zipped.

The games themselves can be whereever you want, as long as Retroach can access the folder.

quit giving false info about the bios first off the latest dumped and most compatible usa bios is SCPH7001 making SCPH5501 so outdated and for EUR games the latest dumped and most compatible is SCPH7502...can somebody edit the main thread so people actually know what bios to use

Retroarch willl not be able to identify the latest BIOS. The only BIOS that it can and needs to read are SCPH5500, SCPH5501 and SCPH5502 according to the libretro wiki. I had to have all three of them in my BIOS directory for the PSX reARMed to stop giving me the BIOS not found error.

1001 is also detected

I use the ones I mentioned perfectly fine anything ending in 00 is for JAP games 01 is USA and 02 is EUR

Are you sure? It did not work for me, no matter how hard I tried.

This is copypasted directly from the wiki

PCSX ReARMed looks for the following BIOS image files inside the frontend's 'System Directory'.

• scph5500.bin (MD5 sum: 8dd7d5296a650fac7319bce665a6a53c)
• scph5501.bin (MD5 sum: 490f666e1afb15b7362b406ed1cea246)
• scph5502.bin (MD5 sum: 32736f17079d0b2b7024407c39bd3050)

In case it can find no BIOS files named like this inside the 'System Directory', it will default to a High-Level Emulation BIOS. This decreases the level of compatibility of the emulator, so it is recommended that you always supply valid BIOS images inside the system directory.

You can read more in here http://wiki.libretro.com/index.php?title=PCSX_ReARMed

The wiki could aways be a little bit outdated, but I don't think so. It kept throwing the "No BIOS found" thing at me until I put the three BIOS mentioned in the wiki (SCPH5500, SCPH5501 and SCPH5502).

I used the 1001 without problems, now I use the 550X series

1001 as i mentioned is ONLY for usa games but its also extremely outdated as its the original bios

 

[Patodox]

Is there a "changelog" about the PSX BIOSes?

 

[deathblade200]

you can find changelogs to the hardware themselves for each model but nothing that tells you that 7000+ fix problems in games such as wild arms

 

[Leir_b]

The wiki must really be outdated then. Forgive me.

I'll try with 7001 eventually.

from the sounds of it you might be using eur games if 1001 didn't work so you might want 7502

I'll try it then. Is there a problem if I just leave all different BIOS files inside the folder?

as long as you only have 1 bios per region it will be fine the bios are only loaded depending on the region of the game so an 01 bios for example which is a USA bios will not even be detected by a EUR game

 

[Patodox]

From wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_models#Comparison_of_models

-BIOS under 5000 has FMV issues
-BIOS over 7000 use the DualShock as standar

 

[ArugulaZ]

How about everything else? I'd like to go back to gPSP but the last build I tried stuttered every time an onscreen event happened. This was a problem in Mickey Mouse Circus Caper where every enemy that appeared halted the game for a split second.
