not able to play

retroarch is either supporting .nds rom at low framerate or not supporting it all.

am using desmume core.

example:- contra 4 is running at a very low framerate of 20

" 1029 - Daito Giken Koushiki Pachi-Slot Simulator Hihouden - Ossu Banchou " is not running at all :(

on nexus 7 2012.

ipega-9025 support

My Ipega-9017 is working very well. I have also a ipega-9025 that is not working (only dpad) and the custom bindings work only when heaven tells retroarch to do so.

If I put the keycodes for ipega-9025 (joystick mode) in this thread is it possible to add support for this modelo too? I can also send the keycodes to any email if needed.
[Android Apps and Games] bransyeah:
If you read they're news site you'll see they say they added that core just for the sake of adding it. Don't expect to have an optimal DS experience. On the other hand you can use the drastic emulator, which is paid but works excellent on Android.

Moga Power

if its anything like the Moga pro u have to use the universal driver app and also the Moga Vk app

---------- Post added at 02:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 AM ----------

Trying to map the Z button for mupen 64 to my moga pro cant seem to find what key it is in the app anyone know what i have any idea ?

i tried terning on the debuging and hitting the on schreen z key to figure it out and im getting a z and y axis
[Android Apps and Games] Honeybadger:
Doesn't work with the universal driver, also the universal driver is a dead project.
[Android Apps and Games] ozzman39:
well it may be a dead project but it works with the moga pro to get retroarch to work along with the moga vk app i use it daily
[Android Apps and Games] Honeybadger:
Again a Moga Power and pro are different. The universal driver doesn't work with the power and it's a dead project.

Just saw that Retroarch has Mupen64, very excited!

I'm rocking a Daulshock 3 controller via Bluetooth on my motox. Does anyone happen to know how I can map the n64 controls to it?

Just letting everything auto detect gives me a and b button control, but the joysticks don't work. Any ideas? I could not find a way for retroarch to let me map controls.

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] philfrommancs:

Moga Hero power

Firstly and again, I would like to say thanks for this incredible app.

Secondly, I'm using the new moga hero power, wich btw its an awesome and well crafted controller, would recommend to all of you. I am able to use it and map all of its buttons in RetroArch while me gamepad is in B mode.

The problem is that, only in Mupen64, I get no control in the left analog, even if its manually mapped as "L3" (this gamepad has a clickable analog stick, like console gamepad nowadays). It works alright in every other core, except Mupen64.

Do you guys have a clue about this being bug or am I missing some additional config?

Does anyone have been able to use iPega controller with retroarch?

I selected icade profile to pega, and used icade mode on the controller (booting with X button pressed) but it still does not work.

Only DPAD works, none of the button works :(
[Android Apps and Games] Jonniher:
Hello.

Do not leave the onscreen controls, anyone know how to fix?

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] robjperez:
What do you mean with this?

You can disable on screen controls overlay in the Input tab in Settings Menu.

If you're playing with a controller probably you won't need them on screen :)
[Android Apps and Games] GabrielDuro:
This emulator is just amazing!!

One question, though: can I use save files from my PC Emulators in some way with the RetroArch?

Can I convert them or something? I want to play on my PC when I'm in home and in android when I'm not.

Can I do something like that?

---------- Post added at 08:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------

You have to go to settings> input > Touchscreen Overlay and then Enable touchscreen overlays. After that, go to Input Overlay and browse to the folder of the system you want to play and select the .cfg.

[Android Apps and Games] Master_T:
A question, since I can't figure it out: I played FF9 (psx rearmed core) for ~3hrs yesterday, saving several times to memory card without any apparent issues (but never tried to load to be honest)

Today I start it back up and the game tells me there is no game data on the memory card. Basically it LOOKS like it is saving, but it doesn't, the memory card is blank when I load the emulator again. What am I missing?
[Android Apps and Games] Trekeyus:
Saving can be fickle at times I use save states more often then mem card. You can configure where save file's and save states are stored. I'd recommend making a folder on your sd for save file's and setting the path in retroarch to use that folder for save file's. It might be that the mem card saves were trying to write to a read only folder etc. But that's just a guess. I have no exp with multi disc games.

---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:04 PM ----------

Both save states and save file's work on pc and android. Just make sure to use same core when using save states. Save files will work with several cores. But states will likely break if you try to use them with a different core then you created them with.
[Android Apps and Games] GabrielDuro:
I wanted to play Snatcher for the Sega CD both in home and android. I use Gens on my PC and Genesis Plus GX core on RetroArch. Can I convert the save files from one core to another? Any tips for what should I do?
[Android Apps and Games] Trekeyus:
Your .smr's should work with other cores without any need to convert. Might even work with other emulators provided they are named correctly for the emulator. The only files that are likely to not work are the .state files. Those you need to use same core on.
[Android Apps and Games] emuashui:
Hello all, Is my qxn in #454 with no solution at all? thx
[Android Apps and Games] Master_T:
Thanks for the reply trekeius.

Another thing about PSX emulation that is annoying me: I have a controller with analog sticks, is there a way to force a game that doesn't support analogs to use the left stick instead of the D-PAD?

I see options that would suggest that in the menu, but I tried several combinations of them but no luck.
[Android Apps and Games] Trekeyus:
I do not know. If you can force the analog I do not use the psx core much. I literally just figured out how to enable the analog sticks for games that support them.

Overlay Keys Repositioning

That's Pretty Lame Compared to FPSE. All you gotta do is goto Man Menu=>Settings=>Gamepad=>Overlay Gamepad=>Reposition Keys...and then Just Slide Your Pad Keys Around to where you Need Them. Now why can't the Mighty RetroArch do That?
[Android Apps and Games] anonxlg:
I have no idea what i'm doing wrong but the emulator is running really slow on my device, hp touchpad (cm9@1.7ghz)

I used to use an old version of retroarch (before it got taken down from the play store) and it ran snes games at full speed (cm9@1ghz)

Am i doing something wrong with the settings? I've tried all 3 cores (snes9x, snes9x next, bsnes) on the same game and it runs at 30-40fps on 60fps games on non-fx games

Moga Power Pro

Hey - Having a tough time trying to figure out how to get the Moga Power Pro working with RetroArch.

I understand it should be in B (hardware input mode), and I can browse the menus, select, go back, etc., but once I load content (NES), it doesn't seem to be mapped. I have turned on debugging and can confirm that RetroArch is reading the inputs while the game is going. I feel like I am probably missing something obvious.

Assist?

Hello!

I just cant figure this out.

I have a Xperia Z Ultra so a PS3 controller works natively without needing to add any other app.

When I connect the PS3 controller I can go to Inputs in the Settings for Retroarch and customize the input and it works fine in there, I can use the PS3 controller to move around the menu just fine etc.

The moment I try any emulator like the PSX or Sega Genesis then I can get Start button to work and nothing else. Any ideas? :)
[Android Apps and Games] Rhap:
Can anyone help me get the settings right for optimal speed?

I'm having issues with the PCSX and Desume cores (psx, ds). Frame rates stay around 30-40 with a lot of audio popping. I'm using an LG G2. Games I'm using: Final Fantasy VII (psx), Chrono Cross(psx), Kingdom Hearts 358/2 days (ds).

I've also tried the GBA and N64 cores, and I have no issues with them.

I'm sure there's just some settings that need to be tweaked, because I know my phone is capable of running these games.

Help? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] retroben:
The input mapping sucks.

I need access to analog stick mapping because I can only use my keyboard and retroarch lacks analog mapping.

Reicast also lacks analog mapping while various mupen clones have mappable analog.

Does anyone know of an app that can set the keyboard cursor keys or any other keys like wasd or ikjl to the analog stick directions so I can control N64 properly in retroarch?
[Android Apps and Games] mstdzw:
Why new version of Retroarch is such slower then older, even off RetroidNetplay?

Why they remove FinalBurn, Mame is now slow like turtle?

My phone is not super hi performance (mt6589 a830), but earlier i played without laggy MAME(FinaBurn), and other SNES, Genesis games, ....

Now its unusable, and must to install RetroidNetplay.
[Android Apps and Games] Dhickory:
I've sideloaded Retroarch onto my Amazon FireTV, and get the same result using a Logitech F310 gamepad. I get the popup saying "Input 0: Generic X-box controller detected" or something along those lines. I can navigate with the d-pad and use the back button, but no other buttons work.

I also get kicked out of any SNES rom I've tried. Does this have something to do with the zip .7za? Sometimes my device will randomly restart or just get kicked out of the NES game and back to the menu.

All my roms are on an external HD mounted with stickmount. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. I have so many roms that I'm dying to play on my tv, but I'm not quite there.

Amazon FireTV with XBox360 wired controller

There is an issue with the FireTV and XBox360 pads: The start button always brings up the rGUI menu, what makes a lot of games (like nes super mario, mario kart64, donkey kong64,...) that require the start button unplayable.

Also it would be nice if the amazon bluetooth remote could be mapped. It does not have a lot of buttons, but it could be used to toggle the rGUI for example and save/load states.

Last but not least:

Is it possible to use custom cfg files for the emulators?

Thanks for your great work, I really love the project and am using it on several platforms!

Hi! I am having trouble with ff7 .srm saves. When i first started the game i saved a few times on memory card slots, but since then when i try to load, my newest saves arent there, only the first 3 saves. This has been fine because i can just use save states, but is now a problem because now i am trying to start the second disc and i have no way to move my saved files over to the new .bin. Renaming the srm works, but my newest memory card saves are not on it, only the original 3. Can i fix this and save to the srm properly? Or if not, is there another way to transfer my saved info?

Small update about Pcsx-ReArmed

The feb.7 nightly build of pcsx re-armed has huge sound improvements.

A toggle for reverb and an option for the type interpolation to be applied(simple,gaussian and cubic) have been added.

Sound Effects have greatly been improved to the point that it exactly sounds like a real psx

On final fantasy VII for example,all sound effects now sound correctly such as yuffie's attacks (which sounded like a tinkle before) or tifa's punches (which sounded like an "8-bit massacre" before).

Music now also plays smoother and more natural(for games that don't rely on pre-recorded music) whereas before,there would be missing instruments or noticeable breaks that sound off.

If you have a multi-core device,you will not expereience and slowdown from this update because the spu now runs on a separate thread.

[Android Apps and Games] player911:
Just an update here. I constantly run into flipping these save files around.

For FPse, it uses "slot1.mcd" and RetroArch and others use "Filename.srm". FPse uses one Slot1 and Slot2 for all games where SRM is a memory card specifically to that one game.

These are the same files, just named differently. You can successfully flip flop between SRM and MCD files.

For FPse, go into Menu > Settings > Advanced > Change Path > Memory Card 1 > put it on the external SD or somewhere you can easily find it. Then Save normally in the game. The memory card will be blank, so load the save, change the location of the save file, then save using the new location

For Exporting to another system, take the slot1.mcd file you moved to your SD card, rename it to match the exact filename (FinalFantasyVII.bin = FinalFantasyVII.srm). Load it up and done.

Just updating this for my reference, as I always go looking and this thread with my question comes up.

[Android Apps and Games] RaduNastase:
Use FBA arcade cores (any of them) and try your SF3 and KOF98 roms. They should work flawlessly. If they don't start, search google for a different rom (a bit different in size). Mame 2014 is another core less picky with rom versions, but you need a powerful smartphone for full speed. FBA is generally faster.

hi,

just discovered your app and like it very much, but one thing botheres me: the overlay-buttons are soooo hughe. is there any way to make them smaller (lets say half the size), without writing a new cfg (which may be overwritten on an update)? basicly i like layout 3, but like I said it's just too huge. on fpse the overlay was scaleable, but somehow fpse doesn't work on my nexus 10 anymore :( (besides your app has lots of other emulators incorporated, which makes it more desireable to use)

[Android Apps and Games] glimmling:
Same for me.

How about an in-app routine to submit the keycodes of not yet supported gamepads directly to your database.

The most pads have a similar button layout. The routine asks for all the buttons and at the end we press submit und you have the data to support this device.

Example:

press the DPAD_UP button on your gamepad or touch the screen to skip this button

.

press the DPAD_DOWN button on your gamepad or touch the screen to skip this button

.

.

press the START button on your gamepad or touch the screen to skip this button

.

press the SELECT button on your gamepad or touch the screen to skip this button

.

.

.

[Android Apps and Games] Squarepusher2:
Yes I can help you - if you report the keycodes to me. Set Debug Input Reporting to Enable, start RetroArch with any game, connect your 360 pad and press each button and see what the keycodes are. I need that information to be able to add autodetect support for it.
[Android Apps and Games] Squarepusher2:
That would be far more convenient and maintainable yes - problem is we haven't set it up so far.

R1: 193
L2: 194

[Android Apps and Games] Squarepusher2:
I need the 'initial name' of the pad that shows up when you first press a button ingame in RetroArch. It should be some kind of onscreen message saying 'HID %something% unbound'. I need that name exactly (and CASE-sensitive too).

HID [idroid:con]

Guess that's just idroid:con that's what it's named as in the bluetooth panel.
