Hacking Emulation RetroArch/Libretro Thread: PS Vita Edition! Nightlies Included

[Lord M]

Fantastic!

A little unrelated, but is there any way to set emulator hotkeys using the analog sticks? Things like statesaving and enabling turbo by just flicking a stick would be very useful, but I can't seem to find such an option in the menus.

I usually set to right stick (up and down) to open quick menu and load state. Simply go to settings->input->Hotkey, highlight the function you want to assign to button, press circle and then during the countdown press the button you want to assign (in this case, i press down on right stick on last options: "menu")

I think that is a documented problem, when the vita sleeps PCSX freezes on the next disc reading

Does anyone know how to remove a bind? when something is binded I can't find a way to leave a function blank other than deleting retroarch.cfg.

What emulator should I use for the Pc Engine?

 

[Aliminator]

I have some configuration questions:

1. Is it possible to save specific configurations to a specific core
2. Is it possible to save a specific button configurations to a specific game? This generally aplies to the shooters I wanna play in TATE Mode.
3. Regarding the TATE option. I found it most comfortable to assign the shoulder buttons for the shooting options in these games, but If I assign the action buttons to the two shoulder buttons, there is no way to go back in the menus anymore, as the shoulder buttons always keep their ability to jump at the end and beginning of the opened menu. So is it possible to change the buttons just for the game itself and not for the menu navigation?

I believe Mednafen PCE is best.

OK, I finally got HENkaku running on my Vita. Now comes a Question I know has probably been Answered somewhere in the 100+ Pages here, but is there a way to Change or Modify the RA Icons and/or the Page for it (You hit a RA Core and it Opens up a Page for that Core and when you hit the Page Center, it opens up the Core)?

how to have this menu in mame

MAME 2003
Once a Game is Started, go to the Quick Menu (L+R+Start+Select), go to Options, scroll down to Cheats On/Off. Then you need to Exit the Core, and Enter it again. Now also make sure to go to Pugsy Cheat and grab Cheat081. Not sure which one, either Rename to cheat.zip or take the cheat.dat, but you need to take this and place it..........not sure. I just dropped both into the Retroarch/System Directory, retroarch/system/mame2003, and retroarch/cheats , just to be sure. Then the Cheats should work.
