Please answer me for my bugs

 

[frangarcj]

@laharl22 I think that is a problem of secure homebrews.

Put your roms inside ux0:/data and use this https://github.com/endrift/vita-fix-permissions

So fbalpha_libretro.vpk - FB Alpha v0.2.97.38, Arcade Machine Emulator (Various) don't work.
Its better try fbalpha2012_libretro.vpk - FB Alpha 2012 v0.2.97.30, Arcade Machine Emulator (Various) ??

Excuse me if it's a noob question. But is there a log stored somewhere on the vita about retroarchs errors ?
Because "FB Alpha 2012 NeoGeo V0.2.97.30" core refuses to load "magical drop 3" / kof97 / etc, and sends me back to main menu everytime.
Right now I've got no way of knowing if it's my bios's fault, rom, or core....
(I've put neogeo.zip in my rom's folder and in ux0:/data/retroarch/system and the rom works fine with FBA / fightcade)

Does anyone know where the save state files are located on the memory card? I want to back them up just in case like my Vita save data.

My guess is something like ux0:/data/retroarch/savefiles or savestates (if you kept default values in retroarch directory config menu)

i think its a bit.. hit&miss with the neo geo roms most mine worked .. & some didn't ...
same with my cps1 ... but all my cps2 roms worked fine
...

 

[ArugulaZ]

This may have already been answered, but does Marvel vs. Capcom work with the CPS2 core? My version doesn't seem to start. Should I find another source or is it a lost cause?

EDIT: Wait wait, no, I got it! Just needed a different ROM.

 

[Lord M]

So fbalpha_libretro dont load rom (i tried various sfiii.zip) and fbalpha2012_libretro doesn't start at all. Someone can help me?

 

[UsaraKa]

My guess is something like ux0:/data/retroarch/savefiles or savestates (if you kept default values in retroarch directory config menu)

Found them. Feel a lot better now that they're backed up. Thanks a bunch Aramir!

 

[Kaibutsu01]

Are all the known working cores... working again?
Last time I downloaded a nightly, some of them didn't.

...But the installs are still sooooooooooooo sloooooooooooooooooow. (Please let batch installs be a thing. >.<)

Batch install is confirmed to be coming to VitaShell. Screenshot on the right here.

Mind you, I'm not sure if the Retroarch .vpks are marked as 'safe' yet (removing the prompt when installing).

Noob question: when I'm playing a rom how can I get back to the RetroArch menu (for choosing another game)?

For future note: Initial Quick menu combo is L1 + R1 + Select + Start, You can change this from Main Menu -> Settings -> Input -> Menu Toggle Gamepad Combo.

YAY! But...
Yeah, the VPK's aren't labeled safe yet.

They are, and I batch installed the 2016-09-08 nightlies. Worked well.
