So....I bought an R4 3DS Upgrade SDHC Gold card, downloaded the Gen 5 games on there, but when I played them on RTS, it's stuck on white screen, while it still works when on Ysmenu. I want to use the RTS so I can save state. I tried everything to get them to boot.

The RTS feature on that cart (timebomb TT clone) is buggy and generally doesn't work well. The only commonly available carts that had semi-reliable RTS were the ones from Supercard, namely the DSONE and DSTWO. Until recently the DSONE was easy to find, but it's now out of stock everywhere and can only be found second hand. Don't bother with the DSTWO, they aren't worth the $100+ they seem to sell for these days.

So, your saying....it's impossible to play the Gen 5 games on RTS? And just have to play them on Ysmenu?

If you mean playing them in the stock kernel (TTMENU) with RTS enabled, yes, it probably just won't work. There may be some patch or workaround/combination of settings that could make it work, but I'm unaware of any such thing. The general consensus on those TT clones is that you should just use YSMENU for everything and forget about the stock kernel.

    haha hello
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @K3Nv2, I think the RP5 has had 8GBs for a while? I know mine has 8GBs not sure it's needed for emulation though? Probably 4GBs is enough for 99% of what it's fast enough to emulate? I could be wrong if it can do like GC and PS2 stuff maybe more is needed? Probably stream the ROMs like the consoles did off the drives.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I believe what they do is OS and translation layer (emulator) and the emulator has its RAM like 36MBs for PS2 so like 3 times that maybe as things are shuffled around, a frame buffer and. Load the data from the ROM file into that systems RAM. I think I read that even 2GBs is enough if your just using a Pi for emulation.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What's an RP5?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Raspberry Pi 5
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For me it's just an emulation machine
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Like a super mini system, I use Batocera as an OS and it's pretty easy to set up, has a ton of UI skins you can make it look almost anyway you want. Still would kill for a WiiFlow like skin (some are close)
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I bought the 8GB model because my thoughts on that is the the difference between the models is like 20 bucks so why not get the good one just in case.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Almost never hear anyone complaining about too much RAM but not enough? Yeah best to avoid that one. Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I did kind of overshoot on storage, a 2TB nvme drive and I think 1TB would have been plenty.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably have like 700GBs of stuff on it now, and don't think I can add much more.
