Flycast can't show game list on my ps vita.
First time when I'm instal Flycast I have kubridge.skprx error. Then I'm update kubridge.skprx by Autoplagin II and flycast run normaly.
I can run Flycast and DC bios but can't run any games.

Should I deinstal Autoplagin II and update kubridge.skprx malualy for showing the games?
Maybe someone have solutions for this problem without Autoplagin II deinstalation?

P.S. Game: RE Code Veronica in GDI and CDI format. Game folder selected. My Ps Vita: ENSO 3.65, Autoplagin II instaled.

Update/Install the plugin manually without the app and see.

The developer has already warned about Autoplugin II problems.
So his advice is going to be just the same. As installing the most recent version of the plugin manually
.
 
So finally got some time to tinker with this in my PSTV last night and it is quite impressive especially with the hardware limitation caveat. Plays the NG: Dev Team games very well. DUX 1.5 is still my favorite indie game ever. And it's nice to be able to play Pier Solar on the system. The MD game worked but didn't get the amazing CDDA audio the DC has.

All that being said I have had better results with some of my old CDI images from my time the ReviveDC & DCCM teams. 90% of the "rips' we made better then the retail releases. They would bloat MPEG files bitrate beyond what DVD could handle let alone MPEG. They did this to fill up space on the 1.1gb GD-ROM to make copies hard to make. And removing multiple file duplicates. So only thing ripped ever was padded blank files. Then simply use the same header file to bypass the security checks.

I'm uninstalled Autoplugin II and instal kubrige and fdfix from here manualy, nothing changed no games in flycast meny. Heroes of Might and Magic III and others android ports work correctly. Any ideas?
P.S. Inside flycast when I'm select folder with GDI or CDI files this files looks like unreadable for this emulator.

if the game is detailed as:
Ingame - (5.45%): Games that go ingame but have major issues that prevents it from going further early on.

Then why ask about it, obviously the game was tested and does not run on this emulator.
Not all games will run that is why there is: https://newflycast.rinnegatamante.it/

Now try running a game that work and go from there, not one that has issue such as this one you mentioned:
Game is a Windows CE one. Cursor is glitched and does render. No matter the options, game will run terribly bad (around 5 fps in menus and 2 fps in game).

I'm test on Dino Crisis (on site status "Perfect"). GDI and CDI looks unreadable (gray names) inside emulator folder selector and I'm restart PS Vita after any change in plugins. Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/UKpZeLB
Maybe my images are bad but looks like this not going to work with any image. Can you send link to 100% playable image, I will try.
P.S. We have chance I make stupid mistake, but first I carefully read the manual and tried to fixed this myself. Thanks for answered anyway.

I made some screenshots for explain the problem better.

Yesterday left console in sleep mode with runned flycast, today I just turn on PS Vita and see error then I press "x" and all games in menu, then I restart flycast and again no games. When I'm tring to understend whats happen, I understood that was stupid mistake: if in emulator more then one path to Roms, second path didn't work.
P.S. For now on my PS Vita installed Flycast and Autoplagin II and both work correctly.

@Rinnegatamante updated the app and first post to v1.1

flycast-vita v1.1
  • Downstreamed to latest official Flycast commit. (BoxArts support has been disabled by default. It's recommended to enable it from emu.cfg solely if you have few roms cause, with a lot of roms, it will cause general instability in the emulator due to mem constraints).
  • Added Fast GDRom Load option. (Faster loading times in games but may cause issues in some games).
 
i cant use version 1.1 but 1.02 seems fine ent tried 1.03 yet but is there a way to lock fps to 30 because i was playing shadow man and its very impressive i get 30fps but in areas i get 60 thats a problem because if it goes 60 straight down to 30 that will be a stutter i would like to be able to lock to 30 to completely avoid any stutters.

Unless the game has a 30 fps patch, the only way you may try to simulate that is by increasing a lot the downclock ratio in the options.
 
thanks will try that out also just out of interest will you be porting a more up to date version of flycast as the vita version says 1.01-84 but the latest version on pc is 2.0-77 and i managed to get 1.1 working its pretty awesome soo keep up the good work.
 
Any have box art working? I had it working but after deleting some roms and adding new ones I now get this error: (C2-1282810 Save Core File Succeeded. 0x0026c23a7-ebootbin.psp2dmp. If I have just fetch box art on it works fine but I would really like to have the box art. So, does anyone know how to fix this because I've tried everything I can think of.
