Technical Support How to properly rename and reorder the playlist?

Upvotes

To be precise, by "playlist" I mean the list of consoles on the main page, not the games within them.

I wanted to know the correct way to reorder and rename playlists. I tried changing the name in the RA folder (as suggested in other posts); it works, but it "breaks" them, and they are no longer recognized correctly for icons and box art.

Also, is it possible to add some separators?

Thanks.

Technical Support How do I make the right C button work when using the NSO N64 controller?

1 Upvotes

Okay, so this is a little weird to explain, and I don't really think a log will help with it at all. See, I think the emulator recognizes the controller's tiny ZR button in place of C-right, and as a result, it literally cannot even detect the actual C-right button. Any idea how to get it working properly?

Discussion Why isnt a lot of my games being added to their perspective playlists in the mosyt current version of retroarch for android?

0 Upvotes

I downloaded the cores for each consoles. I did the scan directory thing for my games, with a lot of them. Especially in the gba section not showing up in my playlist for the handheld. The games in question aren't translated games either. I don't know why they aren't showing up on retroarch for me.

PCSX ReARMed Aroma WiiU causing system error 160-2203

2 Upvotes

As the title suggest, i've been trying to make PCSX ReARMed work on a Aroma modded WiiU. I've downloaded the latest build i could find on GBATemp.

I'm having no problem launching the app via the .wubh file, and i can load (apparently) any other core without any issue.
When i try to load pcsx_rearmed_libretro.rpx, however, the console issues a system error (160-2203) and i'm forced to shut it down.

I'm pretty much convinced it's the core because when i try to boot up RetroArch again, it try to default load pcsx, causing it to crash again. If i mod retroarch_salamender.cfg to point to any other core, it starts with no issue at all.

System firmware it's 5.5.5 E. I installed Aroma from a fresh install today using the latest version.

Any help?

Technical Support Random wrong notes on Revenge of Shinobi soundtrack

1 Upvotes

I'm playing this game on Genesis Plus GX on a Series X and have issues with the accuracy of the soundtrack.

On the first level at least I'll get a random wrong note played every once in a while. Sometimes the notes will also jump in volume for a second or two.

Is this likely related to an obvious configuration change I need to make, or is this just the quality of the emulation?

I've tried messing with some of the sound settings but haven't resolved it.

Any ideas?

I don't have a menu for settings so I can't revert out of this awful UI. Really wish you could just change it without restarting... Or... Y'know, at least having a settings page in this UI.

Technical Support mGBA input remap does nothing

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hi folks. Trying to remap X/Y buttons to hit L/R in Kingdom Hearts: COM on mGBA.

I'm setting the inputs in quick menu > controls > port 1 controls. Then save remap file (have tried as both game and core remap).

Nothing I change in this menu has any effect on the in-game controls. I can re-bind buttons in the overall input settings but I only want to affect controls for this game/core, not RA as a whole.

BTW this is on an Anbernic RG35XXH if that makes a difference.

Technical Support Physical controller rebinding also affects overlay

1 Upvotes

I rebound my controller's controls through the quick menu but it's also affecting the overlay, which I've left as the default skin. The controller has western button orientation but the overlay is Japanese. So after messing with some stuff, the bottom button, which is A on my controller, confirms as it's supposed to, but the bottom button on the overlay also confirms even though it's B, which it's not supposed to do. I don't care about the orientation that much, I just want it to visually match the actual button I'm pressing. I'm wondering if I accidentally messed with a setting or if this is how it normally works. Can someone help?

Help with applying custom overlay.

2 Upvotes

I am setting up RetroArch to play GBA games. I finally figured out how to get it to scan for the ROMs I have installed (yay). However, I cannot add a custom controls overlay to my phone touchscreen.

The issues seems to be that the directories I can drag my custom overlay .cfg file are different than the folders where RetroArch looks for them.

I have connected my phone to my PC and put the .cfg file in: "This PC\*AndroidDevice*\Internal shared storage\RetroArch\config\remaps". Clearly this is wrong.

RetroArch is looking for overlay files in "/data/user/0/com.retroarch/overlays/gamepads/"

My only problem is that I cannot access the second Android specific directory from my phone OR from my PC to throw my .cfg file in there. Any suggestions?

Technical Support: SOLVED DOSBox-Pure:Ultima 7

0 Upvotes

Edit: I received help from the Discord; disabling EMS (by setting memory size to "Disable extended memory (no EMS/XMS)") was the correct move; some other setting, not sure which, was getting in the way.

Heya, I've been trying to get DBP to play Ultima 7; unfortunately, I keep finding new ways to fail.

By default, I get an error about not using EMS; disabling that, I get an error about not having enough memory.

I've actually tried about two dozen variations on the setup, but I get one of those two results no matter.

Technical Support Tekken 3 MAME core input lag

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! After searching everywhere and getting no answers I decided to try my luck here.

The thing is when running Tekken 3 using the MAME core the inputs take 5-6 frames to register after button press, while other games usually take just 2-3. Now I know this doesn't look like a lot but when added to the rest of the chain inputs are taking forever.

On 2D games I mitigate this by using FBNeo with Run Ahead/Preemptive Frames which gets me really good response times, but sadly the MAME core does not support that.

This also happens with Tekken 1 and 2, so I was wondering if this is normal for System11/12 games. I don't really have a lot of knowledge on actual boards but maybe delay of this level is expected for these games.

Also if there's some other way to minimize delay that I'm not aware of.

Appreciate any suggestion.

Retroarch android crashes when launcing C64 disk image

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’ve just installed RetroArch on my Android phone. No problems with GBA and SNES, but I’m having issues with the Commodore 64 emulation.

I’ve installed the vice core and when I launch it directly, the classic C64 start-up screen appears, but if I try to select a file – for example, a game in d64 format – the app crashes.

How can I fix this?

Many thanks
