convert iso to pbp stra

what kind Rayman format did u use to convert? Ntsc will not read but pal does also did u add images in psx2psp or leave it blank and not using psp data?? Can u give me a hint??
I left everything blank. My version of Rayman originally consisted of 2 tracks (bin) + cue. I have converted this into a single image and converted it using psx2psp to eboot.pbp and finally renamed it to the name of the title. (Rayman.pbp)

It`s the PAL-Version Fr/De

Really guys, build collections on the PC using playlist buddy. Look into the history.lpl in your retroarch dir after playing some games to get an idea of what such a file has to look like.


The new nightly fixes things but to be sure (because I don't know which build you're using) be sure to quit the game via "close content" instead of killing it through the home button.

I believe I am using the latest STABLE release, not nightly, but I'll give the nightly a try then. But to be fair, so far, I haven't been able to do anything BESIDES "killing it" through the home button, as the game I am testing (Dino Crisis) keeps getting stuck at the "this game contains gore etc" message and the XMB menu doesn't respond. I do use the RetroArch NSP though, so I am not sure if there is even any problem in shutting RetroArch down this way.

At any rate, At first I thought the issue with Dino Crisis was a missing BIOS since Crash Team Racing had similar issues, but that game works now (except for saving, which is what I was asking about at the time), but I now also have the BIOS files required for my version of Dino Crisis, but it still gets stuck. And I have no idea what the problem is...

It's quite annoying because it is currently the number 1 game I actually want to play-.-

Try updating to the latest NSP available (latest should be from Oct 28th, you can find it in the Stable downloads page of RetroArch).
Also, try deleting your retroarch.cfg file and letting RetroArch itself create a new one once/after you have updated everything.

Thanks, might try this later tonight and see if it does anything.

What filesystem are you using? Are the BIOS files in the right place? What about your Driver settings?
ps ios in playstation file and bios in retroarch/core/system

Is there a guide for arcade games? I've tried games like wrestlefest and simpsons (4player) and it crashes the switch.

Do I need specific ROMS? What core is best?

Thanks

You're using an exFAT formatted SD card. Format to FAT32 and reinstall.



You have to Close Content in order to get it to save.



RA in Horizon does not yet support PS1 titles with more than 5 .bin files.



Your problems are absolutely related to your .cfg files, not the version of RA. The core is the same

I really don't believe that is the case as I made sure to delete almost everything before copying in the new retroarch folder (only saved my saves, thumbnails, cores and playlists)
The config and configcores .cfg files were deleted.

And as I also said, I downgraded from nightly back to latest stable release and that brought the performance back to normal.

I have a feeling the performance issue I was having had something to do with the new clean exit (home button) feature.
It's just a feeling. I don't know for sure but the behaviour was strange as it went from nice speed to slower and then almost to a halt just to return to nice speed again.
Almost as if it was running some kind of regular scanning process in the background or something.

i havent touch the driver setting because if i do ill mess up so whats the best driver settings?
Set Audio Driver to switch_thread.
What do you mean by "ps ios in playstation file". Simply put the PS1 BIOS-Files in retroarch/cores/system/
In the Video Settings, set Threaded Video to "ON"

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

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
