Is it possible to map the controller with a button combination so you can access the RetroArch menu without the keyboard?

I also almost got saving back to the cartridge working. It writes, but i break the save doing it, but im only working with Super Mario Advance 3 cause thats the only GBA game I am willing to spare a save on lol, I don't wanna lose my Fusion data...
Well of you don't mind, I can test for you. I have tons of games I can test, both legit and bootleg.

- I finished it...

Hey, I was trying to get that build running on a 64g card. I managed to extend the userdata partition out to 50 gigs but now the SQ takes over 10 minutes to boot up. Were you running the stock SD card in this demo video?

Edit: I too could help test save transfers if you would like more people working on it. I do not know much about Linux but I do have an external drive with Ubuntu installed on it and a decent number of GB games. I would be happy to help!

Check my latest one out. I still can't get saves converted back (this is due to my lack of know-how) but you can use that 64gb card on Partition 6 which will get mounted as "sdcard" you can stick whatever roms you want in there, without the extra loading time for "userdata"

I second the above sentiment. Thank you! I am still willing to test anything else you want to try with it if you need anyone to I noticed it runs PS1 games pretty well but mine would crash after about 2 hours of play.

    did you always have a ps4 you never updated
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    or were you able to get new ps4 tracking it \
    as soon as the hack was announced
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    or did you have to find a used one with the lower firm ware that was not updated
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I got this ps4 at launch and never updated since 9.0
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You got a good chance of buying a used one and asking the seller how often they used or even ask for a Pic of fw and telling them not to update
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Speaking of PLaystation. I see Evilnat put out a beta for PS3 CFW 4.91.2 on the 22nd.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Don't really see the point in updating it tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you right, I thought about updating my PS3 CFW to 4.91, but why really, everything plays fine now. I guess for people that have already updated past 4.9 it would be helpful.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Idk if online servers are still active that would be my only thought

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Thats true, personally I don't play it online at all, in fact, I deleted all wifi details on it once I installed CFW, so it won't connect and auto-update itself
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I play most games that are on both PS3/360 strickly on the 360, but PS3 exclusives are really only games I play on the PS3 (You know me, I'm more of a Xbox junkie)
