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.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.
