hi guys,

I downloaded the latest retroarch from the retroarch website but it seems like the psp core needs some bios files. Now these bios files have some folder hierarchy and "File explorer - Xbox Device Portal" only allows updating one file at a time, not a folder and there is no create folder functionality that i can find. Am i missing anything? How do you install the psp bios?

If you're looking to create a folder or move files around in general I'd recommend looking into a file explorer application for Xbox One. You can use "my file explorer" -> http://www.mediafire.com/file/om18bfrnfbz9g27/MyFilesExplorer_1.1.271.0.7z/file

Hope that helps :)

does anyone know how to improve the perfomance of nintendo 64 games? some games run really badly on retroarch, is there a way to underclock the n64 in it or something?

i don't care about slow games, i just want the audio not to stutter because it sounds really bad.

I think there is a overclock rate thing in the emulator, try lowering it from 100% to 70%. It'll improve audio stuttering and lag issues in alot of games, at the cost of the games being a little slower. For some reason beetle psx hw does not work and falls back to the software version instead. It improved the perfomance for me. Not sure how to raise the resolution without losing perfomance. Always kept at 1x.

Hey Guys,

Does anyone know if i need a specific bios to run GC games on Xbox one X retroarch?

My dolphin core is there but when i load content using dolphin core it jumps out failing due to read error, same happens to Wii games. i cannot run Wii games with when i tested few.

I have "dolphin-emu.rar" in my system folder which includes lots of folders. I can't create any folder to put it as a folder , should i extract it? I have attached a picture of the content of the dolphin-emu.rar file.


Thx

Thx mate , one another question:

How can i create a folder in dev mode under retroarch? to be able to play PSP games , retroarch needs a bunch of folder to be copied to system folder but i can only copy files one by one to the system folder.Even when i access the retroarch app via file explorer i can't find the localstate folder :huh::mellow:

Is there anyway for that? I have attached a screenshot of what i see under retro foldr when i access it.

quick one ,

Anybody tried to run PS2 games on Xbox retroarch?
In the list of cores it doesn't show it and when i update my core files it's still no good , i'm running v1.8.5.
should i load the core manually or it's not in the list while it can't run the PS2 games on Xbox :unsure:

Thanks a lot mate , one more unrelated question if you don't mind :bow::bow:

When i check the PPSSPP core information ( i have copied the PPSSPP folder under the system folder) , it prompts ppge_atlas.zim is missing and also shows a required specific hash for it.

Is it something definitely needed to run PSP games? majority of my games don't run except a few :sad::(.

There are some error prompts regarding lang and flash errors but not sure if they are any major.


Thanks heaps

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too

    yes looks like an faulty sd
