Hi guys. So i downloaded a Quick launcher app https://github.com/1upus/QuickLaunch_installer_for_PSVita

I made some custom images (retroarch, vitashell, adrenaline) and replaced them with original ones, and changed some lines in "userapps.ini" and "whatsnew.xml" so the QL launches those apps i want.

So far, vitashell and adrenaline launch without issues, but Retroarch has issue.

When i push home button on my Vita and click Quick Launch button i made (retroarch) it opens up a app, and than 2 secundes after than it shows an error...

"an error has occured in the following aplication. (C2-12828-1) Saced core files succeeded. ux0:data/psp2core-1594742526-0x0000072d67-eboot.bin.psp2dmp"

and exit to home menu with RetroArch ready to click (i mean as if you clicked the bubble but not yet launched it).
So i click RA again and this time it launches normally...


I cant figure why it wont launch just RA.

I changed parameters in "userapps.ini" and "whatsnew.xml" to point to "RETROVITA" folder in "ux0:app/" folder.



Any ideas please?

www.retroarch.com

look up the vita version and download the VPK

I downloaded and updated RA from libretro buildbot website. https://buildbot.libretro.com/stable/1.8.9/playstation/vita/

This app gives me exactly the same error.

Could it be that New version of RetroArch is somehow not compatible with quick start?

Do you use this app? can you run Retroarch with it? (the newest one)

EDIT: Nevermind - you where not referring to me on that last post.
Sorry I don't know what quick start is - but I'm using the retroarch.VPK and files found in retroarch.com

It does have a few minor bugs - but it always launches fine. Is there anyway you could simply delete any old retroarch installed files and start fresh with the link I provided?

"I don't know what quick start is"
-It's this: https://github.com/ONElua/Shortcuts-Enhancer

It actually is RetroArchs fault. The newer version of RA v1.8.9 has a bug that doesn't work with QuickLaunch.
I found that because i just replaced "eboot.bin" from RA v1.8.8 and it worked normally.

I actually ended up reporting the ERROR on RetroArch discord, and moderator told me it's gonna be fixed in few days. :yaypsp:

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • 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.

  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?

  • 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)

    run h2testw on it

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