Homebrew PCSX ReARMed compatibility list

What's the point of using the forwarder? In my test the speed is the same, also i don't know if it is updated to latest core

It doesnt matter anyways, i tried both ways and at least to me, who am not an expert by any means in the matter, Seems that the game is not compatible in many ways, I could not make the memory card to work, and even if outside of battle works like a charm, as soon as i get a battle it get stucks during the transition, So my method to make it works isnt wort jack....So...My bad, If you van make it work id love to be told how : D

I will try when i will have time, i'm not taking care of emulation on 3ds from a couple of months, i'm using a switch as emulation device.

I did some test, i'm using FF8 italian release, i got some minor graphical issue, but the game is looking fine to me, i saved the game, also i won a battle. The save file working fine. I'm using a retroarch build on 3ds of a couple of months ago.
As i said, just use last retroarch build. (BTW, i guess are we talking about n3ds/n2ds, i'm right?)
The battery goes down fast, psx emulation is pushing hardware to get the job done.

Huuuu hoho, i like what i see, im gona do that today, retroarch built it is, Good thing i know the same so good that i can play it in any language and know exactly whats going on and what is what...except japanese but italian i can kinda understand 75%,

Yes yes, the N3DS, i play chrono cross and the batery runs dry fast, Good to hear is not an issue with my 3ds but a common thing when you play psx in a console that wasnt designed for it,

Question, I dont need eboots in retoarch right? just regular .bin or .iso?

If you open the compatibility list you will find all usefull information about compatibility, i wrote a lote about performance configuration. Usually you have to convert to chd for better load speed.

I will do, i apreciate the help mate, FF8 is my third favourite game of all time, i know that having it on 3ds is mostly a novelty but it feels close to home

I was wondering if you could share your setttings with me wich are the optimal for best performance is what im looking for, 100% Of cpu doesnt seem to be diferent than regular

Final fantasy 8 is great with his flaws, i completed once and is enough.
Set video sync to off, it should be enough. If not, see compatibility list or post here.
3ds will not keep up with most high demanding psx games, but a lot of arcade games works fine, rpg are good since fps is not a must, most 3d action games are not worth to me, the screen sometimes is too small, the speed option lay down the graphics of the games...
But the 3ds some times is like a treasure chest, gba games, ds and 3ds are a lifetime library. All other emulated console are a plus, the console is very pocket and with 128gb of storage a lot of games will fit. On my switch i have like... 5 or 6 games with 128 gb of storage.

I just tried Legend of Dragoon PBP (all discs) on my 3DS, seems to crash on opening. I created the CIA via PS1 Forwarder

Vanguard Bandits seems to work flawlessly!

Cia maker is outdater and kind of pointless to me.
Use regular stable retroarch, it should work fine.

i prefer having all my games on home screen, 3DS also is not compatible perfectly with all my ps1 games, tahts why I have a PSP Go for PS1 and PSP games, and 3DS for everyhting else

 

[DottMark]

It's a mess
Okay, most psx games should work on psp so you're fine. I think you probabily have a smartphone. Most smartphone can out performance 3ds and psp, so you can play games there xD

ya, with the new Delta Emulator on iPhone, my current iPhone 14 Pro can do NDS, GBA, N64, and even 3DS perfectly lol! And PSP is under beta as well as PS1

soon, i won't need any of my consoles lol

Reporting back on Mega Man Legends 2: Pretty stable 30 FPS. Only major dips at transition areas (right in front of the store at Yosyonke City is an example) and boss fights.

Pretty impressive overall. It’s about as close as we’ll ever get to Mega Man Legends 3 on 3DS (always too soon).

Tested Dragon Ball Ultimate Battle 22 and it works flawlessly (US version)

Tried playing Mizzurna Falls but the game stuck at the part where Matthew answer the phone call in the beginning of the game. Though I don't see any sign of lag, I can see that the character is moving just fine but I tried pressing everything and nothing happens. Is this an error or am I going crazy

I've been trying to get SOTN PAL working and while the game frame rate is pretty good, the music is just too fast. If I sync the audio via settings, the game runs at slow motion. Help anyone?

This emulator is shockingly capable on this system. I've tried a game that, so far, doesn't seem to emulate well: Equestriad 2001.

Disable music, set frameskip to 1, synchronized rendering, hi-res downscaling.

Game plays surprisingly well to me with music disabled with this emulator on N3DS. Big problem though: controls randomly stop working with no recourse.

I lost my progress in beginner championship in Kentucky this way, which is a bummer. Saving on unlocking Lucinda Green didn't save my progress. Apparently you have to save after the presentation for it to actually save your progress, and I couldn't progress because controls stopped responding. Good thing beginner is easy.

Going to try playing around with instruction cache emulation enabled and see if that helps. I did with riskier rendering settings, but not with the sane settings I ended up using. Didn't make a difference before, but we'll see when I'm in the mood to lose progress yet again. Or maybe disable threaded rendering. Hmm...

When controls are working, it plays much better than I thought it would on N3DS.

On actual hardware, it plays really well. It only struggles a little bit with the framerate in show jumping events. Will have to see how it does beyond amateur. I made it to expert on PC, can't remember if I made it to veteran (probably not). Different from PC with lower draw distance and fps, but still totally playable. Try on actual hardware if you can, or look at gameplay footage.

And don't play Equestrian Showcase. The dairy mound at Burghley (you can reach it in amateur) is completely invisible and will fuck you over. Ask me how I know. Equestriad 2001 on PC and PS1 don't have that problem; only the USA release on PS1 does.

Edit to add: Playing the game via Unirom forcing the game to output an NTSC signal on my NTSC-U PS1 stomps it. But IMO, game's timing is slightly off. Your horse moves just a little too fast. Not a huge deal, welcome even. I made it to amateur, but the timings for the jumps in cross country are a pain so far. I was surprised at how much I struggled. I had to press the jump button quite a bit earlier. Practice makes perfect. It'll be interesting to see how things progress.

Back under my rock I go. I do have one of those little PSone screens hooked up. Played through all the beginner championship, no problem.

Still have the screen hooked up, but felt like connecting the console to my Retrotink with SVideo cables for once. Usually I don't have energy to bother.

That is just how it is, IIRC.

Is the game 'Doko Demo Issyo' (JP) compatible with the 3DS?

 

[Hilord17]

Hello there! I created an account on this webiste in order to contribute my grain of sand on this. I am a huge Gradius fan, and I got PCSX ReArmed in order to play Gradius Gaiden, Salamander Deluxe Pack Plus, and Sexy Parodius. (All three JP games and .chd) I use a pre-1.10 version because like many others have pointed before, for some mystical reason the newer versions don't work properly. Also I have every NTSC-J Bios so I can't specify which one works for each one, it just works.

I tested them with some recommended settings in a youtube video:
-Vsync ON (supposedly, for games that are mostly 2D, it's better to have this enabled, and disabled for 3D focused games)
-Audio Synchronization ENABLED.
-Output Audio (the part where there are two options called 'audio', the second one) 'dsp_thread'

Quick Menu options:
-Threaded Rendering ASYNC
-Advance GPU settings ENABLED:
-(GPU) Enable Hi-Res Downscaling ENABLED

Gradius Gaiden and Sexy Parodius are already on the online compatibility list, but they have barely any info aside from 'they work':

-Sexy Parodius works without any flaw at all. 30-40 fps during konami's intro, and then it stays at 60 fps.

-Gradius Gaiden works almost perfect. Konami intro, game movie intro (probably the ending movie as well), and while selecting your ship and certain moments where the screen has too many effects like stage 1, it runs at 30-45 fps. Rest of the game works at 60fps.

-As for Salamander Deluxe Pack Plus, game movies run at 30 fps, and everywhere else it runs at 60 fps on Salamander, Life Force and Salamander II. (I had a weird situation with Salamander II's stage 4 boss, where at a certain moment it ran at 1-2 fps for like, 1 second, then resumed playing at 60 fps and didn't happen again. Don't know what happened there.)
