I have been trying to get it to work on SX OS but apparently it isn't compatible with it. I tried to search up for why and if there's anyway to play PSP games on SX OS but wasn't able to go into conclusion. Can anyone explains to me what makes it pretty much exclusive to Atmosphere? and is there a way to emulate PSP on SX OS?

I've tried the Retroarch cores (and yes, retroarch has full RAM access) but whatever game i try to boot has the "An error has occured" message. Anyone?

It works for me and I use SX OS. Did you try overclocking in Retroarch? Also try to turn off the speedhacks in settings. You need to start a game, then go to the Retroarch settings while in game. Go to settings and turn off all speedhacks, then close content. You must close content or it will most likely crash and it won't save the settings you changed. This also applies to overclocking, any settings you change you need to close content and reload the game.

And I know you said you're getting the extra ram but just to make 100% sure you are holding R and starting a nsp or eshop game and loading Retroarch through there NOT album right?

It works fine for me on SX OS, do you have any directories in /retroarch/cores/savefiles/PSP?
I don't think i have this directory, should i make it?

I'm sure! It runs N64 fine, which also needs full RAM access, so i'm pretty sure it's correct in this way.
Will try the tips you've given to me!

It should have been included when you downloaded it though unless you're using a really old version of PPSSPP. It goes in retroarch/cores/system/PPSSPP/

If you dont care about docked(no support for the moment), just use lakka. Ppsspp runs better and u can run it from the sx os payload, then boot lakka directly as autoboot from launch other payload. If you really want to play from horizon(docked), make sure you have the correct directories, assets, and have the latest build, as mentioned above. A few games do require overclocking though, but if your charging the whole time, it wont matter at any rate.

    But it's a dead end

    @Psionic Roshambo, people who cant download it can still play the game
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    Did you feed the hamster in your internet router? It prob died and is running slow now.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, why did you start saying my pc has a hamster in the first place?

    Its actua!ly just a old joke, meaning its slow. Was just kidding around with you.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    YEa gotta after a while, looking at code for long periods will bug your eyes.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
