ROM Hack [Release] PS1 Forwarder Creator

Tested a few more games, all seems works fine.
The real issue is that emulator crashes from time to time randomly.
S
mode don't work correctly, is you close the console for at least 10 minutes and reopen it - all in game sounds is glitched.

Is stable version of retroArch with PCSX core has the same problem?

Agree. Same problem.
Another even bigger problem is that after the crashing and restarting, I found the save on the mem cards (both 1 & 2) scrolled back to a very early save, maybe the state when the game started. I have to use the "Load state" to find a not so early state to prevent further loss. I THOUGHT the mem card save (especially 2) should be a safe shelter.

It's problem of retroArch itself, probably all emulators from this package crashes randomly.
Too bad.

I'm tested many roms from my own collection (all of them RPG). Everything works fine, if not full speed then pretty close to it.

The forwarded is very nice, it so easy to make your own standalone cia document with PS1 game.

I hope retroArch developers could fix that crash issue

Sakitoshi do you have any plans of making a pcecd forwarder?

YoshiLightStar · Jan 5, 2020

Um Jammer Lammy works great on the fast preset, it runs full speed it seems. I'll be sure to test more games
EDIT:Lammy seems to lag a little on Level 5 and on Level 6 in bad mode

This is a fantastic application, thanks so much for making it.

Some of my results from trying different games:

Games I couldn't get to load at all (just a black screen): SaGa Frontier 2, Suikogaiden 1 (with translation patch), Suikogaiden 2 (with translation patch)

Games where I ran into other issues:
Langrisser 4 (with translation patch) - game froze up as soon as it selected a character in battle

I've also had music slowdown/synch issues in a few games (Legend of Legaia, Vandal Hearts 2, Valkyrie Profile) but I will try a few different options in the CIA creator to see if anything can fix those.

it doesn't work on 32 bit windows.
makerom (one of the tools) doesn't have a 32 bit version.

Thank you so much that's put my mind to rest. Is there any way to get it to run on a 32 bit OS or can you make one that works? Is there anything I can do to Convert these files to cias????

if you can get a 32 bit version of makerom 0.16 (earlier or later versions may or may not work), replace it (located inside the tools folder) and it should work.

EDIT: afaik, the author of makerom says that a 32 bit version of makerom would be limited since 32 bit programs cannot address more than 4gb of memory and the process can take more than that.

error 0x06 indicates that the cia couldn't be created.
this can be either that 3dstool or makerom failed. I'm inclined to think that makerom is still the culprit.

Hey there! This is such an awesome thing you've made. I've messed with the PSX-Rearmed for a while and could never get it running this good.

Quick question though.. The Quality options seem to be a bit strange. Running Legend of Dragoon looks perfect on "Quality", "Safe", and "Fast" but the increase in framerate stability seems tied to the "PSX CPU Clock" setting. Why does it diminish as the "Turbo" goes up?

I guess my question is, why is the default set to 50, the "Quality" drops it to 40, etc... Should I be running this number higher or lower? I've built over 10 CIAs testing the same scenes over and over and I cannot find a reason to drop the "PSX CPU Clock" as the quality decreases.

Thank you for everything!
