BTW, if you put your PSX isos inside ux0:/RETROVITA/ and you select it through app0: on Retroarch there's no resume bug
Excellent, if this is true. Can I put the isos within another folder? For example, would

ux0:/RETROVITA/games/PS1/[game].[ext] Work?

Just confirmed this works. NICE. But to clarify, he means within the ux0:app/RETROVITA directory. My above example isn't correct.
ux0:/app/RETROVITA/games/ps1/[game]/[game].PBP works like a charm. The Vita just became so much better for me. VALKYRIE PROFILE TIME.

Why this was never mentioned before, I have no idea.

Little Off-Topic:
I wanted to try PCSX-R core of RA for PC (to see here how savestate work), but when i try to load a rom, he come back to menu and a message "fail to load content" appear. Why?
(i have all 3 bios in system folder and i've tried all psx game extensions)

Stop man, it saves states as it is. Just relax those 4 seconds.

Just want to make verify: Will deleting the Retroarch All-In-One bubble remove the app/RETROVITA folder? If so, can I update it without deleting it?

What is the advantage of Retroarch for running PSX vs Adrenaline?
They won't stop developing it.

It's easier if you uninstall that bubble, but not needed at all. And deleting the bubble won't delete yor configuration, so it is not a big deal.

I used it during gameplay :D
Anyway on PC is faster, i've resolved by using Beetle PSX instead of PCSX-R (i dont kno why this one don't work for me)
I wait frangarcj resolve pcsx-r savestate on PSV (i like portable gaming and less to play on pc)

Are there any other cores for Vita/RA besides PCSX Re-ARMed? The core (online) updater is missing on the Vita dashboard and would it be possible to manually add another emulator? I'm not complaining whatsoever but some of the features like the video settings appear to be very limited as well versus on a PC. Beetle PSX on Vita? (If I missed this somewhere-sorry.) Half-noob.
I like how Adrenaline runs PS1 games as well and I am just experimenting with both ways to play and video settings are kind of fun to mess around with.

Thank you in advance.

P.S.-Forgot to mention I use a PSTV. I know the sky is the limit with a PC rig for emulation but I really love how good a wallet sized micro console can be.

frangarcj if you think its netplay the problem of savestates, you can make a separate nightly pcsx-r build with netplay disbaled or removed? i would like to test it.
(maybe you've right because all other nightly cores have same issue with savestates - game dont stop, slow down and make a loading before saving)

I've had to reinstall retroarch. I use a standalone 1.3.6 snes9x2005 core. I've reconfigured directories but savestates still won't load. What gives?


Nevermind. I'm an idiot.

    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.

    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • 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)
