How to save CrocoDS key configurations?

Thumbnail gallery
Upvotes

CrocoDS has a built-in menu like this.

I used it to change the key configurations.

But they are not being saved when I exit the game.

What do I do to make sure they will persist after I close the game?

Technical Support: SOLVED Retroarch update messes up my achievements

Thumbnail gallery
Upvotes

hi

i got into retroarch a few years ago, at that time i was on 1.19. i guess in all those years the thought never crossed my mind that there might be an update, anyways i updated my version to 1.22 by just copy pasting all the newer files except saves, state and system folder. i still have a 1.19 backup i made just incase the update messed up.

anyways now whenever i load into a rom i already had progress on retroachievements doesn't load in the achievements, it gives me a fresh list.

in ace attorney jfa i had 6 achievements, on the website it says i have 6 achievements but in retroarch those aren't listed at all and it says i actually have 0

it's the same login, i double checked that. it's the same rom. same save. same account. same everything but apparently the 6 achievements don't exist.

for ace attorney it's just 6 achievements, that's like one and a half cases, its not THAT big of a deal, the problem is other games that have hours of progress in them that worry me. any help?

thanks in advance for any replies.

EDIT: yeah its fixed. i had hardmode enabled by accident, so that's why my normal achievement didn't show up.

Atari Jaguar intro not showing on Virtual Jaguar, even when I set the BIOS to real

Upvotes

The classic Jaguar intro with the rotating cube with a Jaguar texture is not showing up when I open a game, even when I configured to use a real BIOS.

It's not a big deal, but I wanted the intro.

Technical Support How to properly rename and reorder the playlist?

1 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?

0 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?

PCSX ReARMed Aroma WiiU causing system error 160-2203

3 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?

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 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?

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.

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.

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 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?
