Hey guys, I got a weird issue that I can't find any good answers to from googling.
So I've been using this version of RA on my PS3 for a little while now and everything has been great. Yesterday I played as normal, exited RA and then shut down my PS3 as normal, but today when I boot RA it just crashes back to the XMB. No errors or nothing, just black screen for a few seconds and then back to the XMB. Does anyone know what this could be and what I can do to fix it?

Cheers :)

I'd like to request ntfs support in possibly the next build.

That would be a nice feature.

If you want to play ROMS from NTFS or exFAT, you can create an ISO with the ROMS, scan the disk with prepISO and mount the ISO with webMAN MOD. The games will appear on /dev_bdvd

If the number of ROMS is small, you can put them in /ROMS folder of NTFS or exFAT. prepISO will create a fake ISO for each ROM.

This fixed it! Thank you!!
I opened the cfg file to check what could be in it and it's just a libretro path to a random game... anyone got any idea why this file gets made and why it crashes RA? Anything I can do (enable/disable) to avoid it in the future? I mean it's not the end of the world to quickly remove it, but just a bit odd.

Anyway, cheers again! All works perfect now :)
 
@aldostools, thank you for the info. Btw I thought of one more request, when scanning Roms I noticed at least in ps3 version of this community build, that there is no support 7 zip. It would be great to have this feature also. I use retro arch amongst a lot of different platforms and on those other platforms, 7 zip roms work. Just a thought, Thank you once again for all your help as per usual.

Your request is interesting, but RetroArch CE is being developed by @Crystal. I only integrated it into webMAN MOD.

It would be great if RetroArch project could implement some of the libraries ported by @bucanero to PS3: 7zip, unrar, gzip, nfs, smb2/3; or native support for NTFS/ext2/3/4 & exFAT .

the strANge is the path... if u boot games via webman retroarch use ps3app path or something like that. save,savestate cfg etc go to different places

btw, is Crystal still working/doing PS3 stuff? I haven't seen him around for a while

His last commit was on April 7th, 2022 with an update of the core hatari.

I guess it is normal to expect a hiatus every few months, due his studies.

The path /app_home is used as entry point to launch the emulator because webMAN MOD cannot launch SELF applications directly.

webMAN MOD uses PKGLAUNCH to redirect the paths and start the emulator. The ROMS are mounted in /dev_bdvd
 
PSA: while the info file for P-UAE only shows 6 bios files (4 required plus 2 optional), it seems you will need about a dozen to get the core to work. Source - https://docs.libretro.com/library/puae/

EDIT - it seems you also need to disable Rewind. I loaded a game without Rewind, it worked, then the next day enabled Rewind, loaded the same game - black screen.

RetroArch CE does not support this feature yet, perhaps in the future.,

It was added in the pslight version being developed. (this is not he pslight version)

The pslight version is still being developed and has not been released (only its source)

I want to understand
the PSlight version will only include cores & updates that are know/tested to work on the PS3 system in order to get the pakage smaller ?
or its a different beast with other features ?

EDIT : its been awhile that i dont checked for update
the latest is still the beta04 isnt ?
