Which romset should I use for better compatibility?

Hi, you must use latest FBA romset (0.2.97.39).

The menu looks nice and clean and screenshot looks great with the scanline filter. I love retroarch but the menu system is far from ideal on a portable.
Getting the ROMset now, thanks cpasjuste

Edit: One very minor thing, I noticed the vpk isn't marked as safe. I hex edited the eboot.bin, changed 0x80 from 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 2F to 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 2F then repacked/installed and the emulator seems to run fine.

Hi, thanks for the report. I'll take a look very soon.

 

[Crazy2k4]

thanks
one last question
in future,add overlays support??

 

[Pender666]

Hi, @cpasjuste, thanks for your amazing work
Can you please add support to analog imput? Games like: Super Hang-On, Outrun, Turbo Outrun, Power Drift and other uses analog then we cant move, only buttons works.
And a minor requestn can you add minor file management? Like press [] to delete a rom, it would make ease to remove incompatible or not wanted clones.

Thanks in advance!!!!

This emulator look sexy lol.
So, even in future cant handle cps3?

 

[lincruste]

Thank you for this one ! As I did not manage to compile it successfully, a working build is much appreciated.

I've never used this emu before, is there a noob friendly guide someone can link to? What key words should I google to get the roms? Appreciate any help!

how do i play from ur0 ... ? i changed config but i still could not load roms

What I did was edit the config file ux0:data/pfba/pfba.cfg and changed line 0004 to

ROMS_PATH0 = "ux0:/data/rom/mame/";

I had already copied roms there in order to play it with retroarch.

edit: I modified it directly from VitaShell, it's quite convenient.

Anyone managed to get CPS 2 games to work? I keep getting the same error "Loading AVSP.KEY..... (NOT FOUND). I tried a bunch of different roms for Alien vs Predator and keep getting the same result. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I used FB Alpha v0.2.97.38 collection. I'm under the impression this is the latest one.
OK I checked again and .39 is the latest one.

 

[cpasjuste]

There's a site named something like Google which I know have latest romset.

Anyway if save states is select+l, i suppose right to load states select+r?

So yeah, the unofficial build posted earlier had issues with the analog sticks, but this one DOES work with them, which is great! However, I'm not sure why the right stick scrolls through menus along with the left. Since my right thumbstick has been dead for over a year, I can't use that build with my Vita. It works great with the PSTV, though.
