I noticed something strange when I was playing a game on the Genesis Plus GX core. The time it takes to save and load states is way longer than it is elsewhere. I also noticed that using the Wide variant core it's reduced somewhat by about 50%. It's shouldn't lag slightly either when I save or not work sometimes when loading one.

Everything else I play it's practically instant as I don't have many cores now thanks to deleting the ones that I don't need and only keeping the systems that are worth it to me being the FB Neo ones, all of the SNES ones (though the current variant has non working save states & fast forward which forces me to use the 2005 variant instead for everything to run well), the two Genesis ones, the PCE one, & mGBA as I stopped playing with VBANext due to issues it would cause with some games.

That can't be done. You'd have to do it before adding the games to the core of whatever you're going to play.

Sorry. I didn't understand.

There is a feature in retroarch that allows you to translate the games you are playing. People who use retroarch on PC or ANDROID can do this. I wonder if this retroarch feature is also enabled on the PS3.

I think he means does RetroArch support IPS/BPS soft-patching. Last time anyone checked it was not working.
 
Can I ask about arcade emulation? Between FBNeo, FBNeo Light and FB Alpha which should I use for CPS/NeoGeo please? Thank you.
 
Anyone can run the king of fighters 99 and above using fbneo ou fbneo light?
My ps3 freezes and i have the correct romset. Probably is a memory issue...
 
hey all..

ok...heres what i did...was on v1.90..spent time on my favorite games ..recently read about the community edition and installed ..awesome stuff..
well before i deleted 1.90 i backed up my favs file and roms and system folder (with bios)..
stuck them into this CE..after setting it all up i think i experimented too much and screwed up my fav..now it says "files cannot be loaded from playlist" after choosing "playlist thumbnails updater"..
is there a way to correct this without having to delete it all and reinstall and start fresh? i just want to be able to run my favs like i have them saved..

thanks

ok..figured out the issue...the file path from the old v1.90 is different (looked at information in the rom in each one in favorites, i should of thought quicker)..
now..anyone know a way to change the file path? or else im gonna have to do each one all over again..yikes..

p,s..anyone know how to add the sound files to some of the games like donkey kong and zaxxon? i been trying to solve that for a long time..im guessing like a pc just dump them in some audio folder or maybe with the roms?? havent tested those theories out yet but asking in advanced :)

sorry for all the posts/questions..cant edit ..
also as im going thru each one..im finding some games dont work using the same core as in the v1.90..like old skool mame tron and tapper etc..tried a couple of roms of the same game and nothing..they worked in v1.90..not sure if its just me or if something is new/different.theres a few more as well..but just trying to sort the 1 1st..very tedious lol..lots of hard resets and reboots trying differnt mame cores..
some games work fine..but basically all the mame 2000 dont work (for me) on CE
tomorrow ill install v1.90 and see if i can get those to work with the same roms etc and post back

ok..just verified...seems to be the mame 2000 core (on my end)..the games that didnt load properly load fine in v1.90

iis it just me?

welp..im out of ideas..even installed the repack CE edition to see if any luck..nope..
i went and compared the mame 2000 core from v1.90 and CE and they are the same..any ideas??
also im on cex 4.86 - never updated
 
Anyone know why there isnt any "update assets" on the CE version?

also

On every other platform, mame 2003-plus shows shadows when playing MK2, however on CE 2003-plus there are none.

My goal for the longest time is to get MK2 to work on the PS3 at or close to 100% emulation with shadows.

Any answers would be sensational :D
 
i tried it on v1.90 and CE and no shadows..also tried with midway core on CE amd plus..
just letting ya know

Correct, no shadows.
But on other platforms (PC, Android, etc.), mame 2003+ core actually fixes the no shadow issue.

why is it still not working here on the PS3?
Technically, it should.

UPDATE 2...

finally figured it out..the mame roms had t be in the ROMS folder for mame 2000 games specifically..ive always had them in the DOWNLAODS folder simply because its much quicker access when loading a rom (before you save the ones you like the most to favorites) without having to jump thru so many layers to get to the roms folder...the other mame emus seem t o work just fine in the downloads folder which i have another folder in there that says Mame Roms. and every other rom for the other emus (colecovision,intellivison etc) the weird thing is somebody would have to know which games were mame 2000 to move to that specific ROMS folder (if you wanted to be organized and not have everything everywhere) so i just copied the entire mame roms i have into both DOWNLOAD and ROM folder..i guess that will have to do till maybe in the future the mame2000 games can be run from anywhere aside from the specific roms folder in retroarch like the other emus can and than i can just keep running everything in downloads..i try to keep things tidy especially with software since dozens and dozens of folders are at play and wasted space...now i can delete v1.90 in peace..
next task is getting the samples to work right..i have them in the samples folders in zips but so far no luck,,guess ill keep tinkering for now..dont see too much action here lol

UPDATE 3....
got the samples working in mame2000 games..had to make a samples folder inside mame2000 folder..i took a look inside mame plus etc and saw there was samples in there already for games that are for mame2000..so probably will move the samples that dont run on plus since they should be in mame2000 ..

UPDATE 4..samples not working now..dont know what i did yet lol.too much tinkering...maybe the samples and roms folder have to be exactly the same capitalized/non capitlized letters for it to read the samples folders cause i got lazy and started pasting folders from laptop to usb and didnt consider capitlaized letters etc..gonna try that next cause im aware its like that when you make a rom your fav..path has to be exact even capitilzations so maybe it cant read the samples folder because of that..dont now yet

update 5...yes..it was simply because i had a capital S for samples..samples working..

so to summarize to make samples work with mame2000 games (and im assuming the same with the other emus if they need samples)

dump roms in roms folder than go into system folder and place samples folder inside mame2000 folder (and the others mame2003plus etc)
i saw some stuff online where people said to have the sample folder and roms together but that doesnt seem to be the case..i tried various ways and this is how it goes for CE anyhow..

hopefully this helps out anybody who got stuck cause i was chasing these issues for days and no help here lol
