PPSSPP Switch Beta Release

We are at the "people are unwilling to read five to ten pages" of text again stage.

This is when the forum usually breaks.

Anyone worth his salt will stop responding to individual requests - because those simply arent worth the time - and we are left with hearsay and wrong information and no one bothering to do anything about it.

To the people that read it is a nuisance to get the same information request in a thread three times within two days.

And the people who dont read dont get proper answeres. You are crafting yourselves a nice loose loose again. I forgon how much I hate this forum, when somone releases something of interest for free. It switches to a fire sale grab table mentality in no time.

If you want to ask "if game works" have the courtesy to see if someone has tested and posted it already.

Every support requester destroys the visibility of someone who is willing to test stuff properly. Thats the heart of the issue. And as long as we have more people around that only care about them being fed information piecemeal this has a negative impact.

Over and out - n

(Reading the same question three times in two days is too much.)

i mean, that's what a forum is.
as long as we can't have all comments on a single page, no one will try and deal with checking so many pages OR dealing with the dumb forum search. it's just how it's gonna be.

Use iso not pbp - just reconverted all my roms. pbp introduces micro stutter.

Tekken 6 on IR Jit is no fun.
Tekken 6 on Jit (currently work in progress ) with GPU OC to to 460 Mhz and CPU OC to 1500 Mhz is pretty much full speed - and fun.

Same story for all the GTAs I'm afraid.

Playable with IR-Jit:

FF7 Crisis Core (runs pretty great, even at 3x resolution)
Persona 3 (for future reference, runs on jit as well (currently savestate reloading))
Persona 1

Thats about it..

In Lumines 2 some stages are playable, some are not... Lumines 1 stutters MUCH.

If you come across other games that run well on IR-Jit at the moment, list them. Its more a case of "most will not..." - wait for Jit.

I only see ir jit, how do you use other jit option or is that other jit option on on different system.

Right now its only for his patrons, jit is very unstable and in testing phase. Anyone can support him, and get test builds. I joined cause I enjoy his work and pretty much like donating, $1 per month isn't too bad. The test builds has advantages and disadvantages, for example some will fix one bug in one game but introduce other bugs to other games. Us patrons get to test early builds early, and m4xw gets testers to help test new builds.

I've tested two games by now. Patapon runs a bit laggy, but it does. Outrun 2006 C2C (one of my favorite games from the PSP) starts, but the textures are bugged.

Mega Man X Maverick hunter works perfectly fine but FMV is very lags. I don't know if overclocked will help FMV run smoothly. I don't want to try overclocked anyway. However, I will wait for the better version soon.

Mega Man Powered Up works fine.

Ok so, for all of those wondering, the memory stick location (aka where your saves and whatnot are) is SD:/retroarch/cores/savefiles . There should be a PSP directory there.

A bit confused, is that report link on the first post for the switch or all the systems ppsspp is on. The other tabs make me think this link isn’t really about what’s working on the switch.

I dont even have a recollection of it. Maybe I havent read it, maybe I didn't know. I'm not familiar with PC engine stuff in general, so theres a chance.

Just as a simple dog-ear remark to remember for people in general. You cant demand service, off of a non profit. You can demand information, but as soon as the information is attached to work that would be done for you in particular, or for you more so than for a community - the demanding service stuff becomes problematic.

Simply because for you to get what you want, you are now basically taking value, for nothing in return. This works in informal communities, where people know each other, and give back over time - but this doesnt work in "the internet of now" - with snowflake meats participationtrophy owner meets people actively playing the system of pseudonymity (nicknames) to 'thanks, bye - and never to be seen again' outcomes.

Sounds harsh, but again, we are only looking at whats needed to keep correct information afloat within a public information hub. And if the people interested in managing that burn out, because - people post, rather than read (diluting knowledge base articles with personal support requests), and no one confronts contradictory information any longer, its to everyones detriment.

In the end, again - this is a culture thing do you want to allow for the same question to be asked three times within two days - in the same thread?

Impulse response is YES, because I want free personalized support, ad hoc - whenever I ask, from whoever will do it for just as thank you in return. But the actual answer to this is actually - no, you dont want that - you want people that can look up stuff on their own.

"Does my favourite game work?" is actually sort of a good test for that.

If you look at a little more educated communities, you will see more people posting "tested and working (or not working)" posts, rather than "can someone test for me" requests.

Reason: Only that scales. If someone tested stuff on their own, it only takes little effort to also share the outcome, once.

If someone didn't the effort needed to do this for every help solicitator is so high, that most people wont do it. Then a few do, then people start abusing this, then they burn out... And as the cherry on top, "does x work" burries the actual "tested and working" posts.

And is not remotely humanly possible to attend to even in theory, for any one system (lets say PSP 1370 games released during its lifetime), just for "does it run" type questions.

Much less for "my game has this issue with an effect, can a developer fix it for me".

Those are the economics of this type of interaction.

Once you've thought that through, you actually end up at "people who ask 'does that work?' in an anonymous setting (no need to give back established), are actually hurting communities.

There are exemptions, f.e. where "word of mouth" is enough to keep everyone informed (very low effort, no checking what soever), but people asking for support are asking for more.

tldr; I know.

But those are the mechanics.

I believe someone said you can just hit start to skip the cutscene and be able to continue on Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles. You might try it.

Ok got it working after x button I kept pressing start.

I have a little problem.

I'm trying to run Tactics Ogre at full speed, and I change speedhack options and graphic options, now i can't load any psp game, all of them crashes, return to HBL and after that, error code and restart.

I try to erase ppsspp.cfg, reinstall the core, but this error persists (only ppsspp), any help please?

Firm 6.2 with last Hekate & Kosmos. Full Ram access.

Sorry for my bad english.

I can't even get a picture. Just black screen and audio playing. Sounds like the intro?

I believe depending on which link you're referring to, its for switch specifically and others are for all other systems. Like m4xw mentioned on the post, its still a beta and jit not functioning on this build yet, there fore your results as he mentions may vary. Once the jit is in place among other things, I'm sure that list of playable games will be closer or more identical to that second link you're referring to.

This was the link I was talking about
https://report.ppsspp.org/games

The thing that confused me a bit are the other tabs on that website because they show other systems.

That's what I'm referring to also, right now this beta does't have everything compared to other versions of different systems, so the current switch compatibility won't be anywhere near that list. When jit among other fixes are added I'm sure compatibility will increase. It's just being patient now until that happens.
