Strange, now I can't even compile the official Libtransistor branch:

Code:
checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/home/unix/libtransistor/build/xz':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details
mk/liblzma.mk:4: recipe for target 'build//xz/Makefile' failed
make: *** [build//xz/Makefile] Error 77
I was able to resolve this after messing with some settings in libtransistor.mk

here's mine

it loads to the menu but then when i look for my img or bins they arnt showing up. do they have to be in iso format?
my cue files show up, but upon selecting them it loads for a few seconds then returns to menu. granted, I'm not really sure how to use beetle in the first place.

EDIT:
scratch that i just needed the BIOS. it works to some degree. sound is good, controls are good. video is good, although underneath a pop up window for some reason. the 3d is very slow, maybe 1/3 normal speed.

Don't know if I got the wrong BIOS for it, but it indeed does work albeit running at 1/4 speed in this game and inverted colors lol. It's cool this is working at all right now. Thanks for compiling it!

I've made a folder "bios" and put "SCPH5500.bin" and it doesn't see it. I mean i did settings-directory--system/bios- and when i'm trying to locate the folder, it doesn't see bios is there.
What's wrong?

I just pasted it in the folder with the cue file and the /switch folder, it works from one of those places. You could also set the system/bios directory in retroarch's settings.

Are you trying to load US games? You need 5501 for that.
No, i'm trying to load PAL game. I have a folder called "bios" with different kinds of bioses, (i've also tried to put them one by one), i have bios file in my /switch directory and i have a bios file in the same folder with my game.
I've tried to set bios manualy through settings, but retroarch doesn't see ANY of them, and using a folder as a whole doesn't work either.

No clue then, it boots when I load the cue file and have the bin somewhere.

Edit: Wait, you just set the directory to where the bios is located. It won't "see" them.

It doesn't see my bios .bin files at all when i'm trying to set the path to them. When i'm not setting the path, it doesn't work too.

Just set the path to where you placed it eg: the bios folder, like I said it won't see any .bin files. (Alternatively just copy paste the .bin in every folder and it should work eventually.)
