Hello I have the same problem with the GameBoy/GameBoy Color emulator (Gamebatte). Everything was going very well since 4 weeks, and suddently, today when I launched my usual gameboy game it just runs it, but didn't display any buttons...

Does anyone have an idea how to get the buttons back ?

Edit : I use an HTC Sensation (Pyramid) on CM 10.1 (Jellybean 4.2.2)

BTW beside my (hopefully temporarly) problem the app is awsome ! Thanks a lot.

---------- Post added at 04:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:35 PM ----------

Nevermid, I clear the data of the app (Sustem->Applications->RetroArch->Clear Data), and everything is back to normal.

Perhaps it will solve liskete's problem as well...

Still have problems with Cave Story, probably something obvious I'm missing, bad .exe or underpowered phone?
[Android Apps and Games] Niksko:
Thanks for the awesome app. There's no reason for anybody to buy any of those other crappy emulators in the play store while you guys are supporting this.

Just a quick question. Is netplay support planned? I can't seem to find any GBC emulators that have it, other than one which is extremely overpriced and apparently runs slowly.

Can anyone get this app with the moga universal driver? its unfortunate that i can only get myboy! gba emulator to work with it but not retroarch. :crying:

sixaxis

apologize me for asking this, but can someone shed some light on the following problem?

I have an Asus TF300, and I'm connecting a PS3 sixaxis through a usb cable connected to the dock... The sixaxis gets recognized nativly on 4.2.

Works well at system level and on retroarch menus... but whenever i start a core, the buttons get swapped... X becomes square, O becomes triangle and vice versa.. also in the cores the joysticks wont work.

the sixaxis gets recognized as ps3 controller vs2. i've tried mapping the buttons manually, they get detected fine, but when i enter the cores, the manual mapping wont work...

i've also tried the ps3 controller app to connecto using blueooth, the sixaxis gets detected as Virtual and just a few buttons will work..

any help? thanks in advance

problems saving game final fantasy 8

Hey there. PLEASE ANYONE HELP ME!!!!

I haven´t found the answer to my problem. So i downloaded FF8 and it runs good but I can´t save my progress. When i am prompted to save it says the file has been saved once I choose the only memory stick available. But when i re open the game no saved files are available!!!!!

I have the BIOS saved in the ROM folder which is where i have the game. But still no luck.

What can I do?? Please help me!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] iDelta:
Are you sure you used these two options?
[Android Apps and Games] Blackops84:
HEy thanx for answering... i got the screen yo showed me and yes both save and load are in 0.... any suggestion??
[Android Apps and Games] iDelta:
You must save state at 0 and load state at 0
[Android Apps and Games] Blackops84:
Hi... When I'm about to save I check that save and load are in 0 ... Which they r ... Then I save in the the game screen but still no saves!! Am I supposed to do something else?

[Android Apps and Games] genaroneto:
I'm here again to say thank you about the MAME support... It´s so much better to have just one app to play all emulators, specially when it bares so much quality like your Retro Arch...

I have some questions tho... is it possible to play games with CHD, like Killer Instict? Is there any chance to this app get MSX support in the future?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Squarepusher2:
Yes, you'll need neogeo.zip in the same dir as the ROM you want to load.
[Android Apps and Games] Toad King:
There is a special mode in RetroArch called 'Debug Input Reporting Enable'. Check that to 'On' in Settings -> Input Settings - it should show you keycodes onscreen when you press the hardware buttons.

Report to me the 'name' of the input device (should be displayed onscreen when you first press one of the buttons in RetroArch), and also report to me what keycode each 'button' generates. If I have all that info I can add it to the 'input autodetection 'list.

Okay, works now.

I use actually a ps3 Controller with SixAxis. Is it possible to configure the left Analog Stick instead the digital one?

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9100
[Android Apps and Games] Squarepusher2:
Do you use it with the IME app (through Bluetooth) or are you using it natively (USB)? Because the controls mapping is different for both and I'd need to know.
[Android Apps and Games] dcclark:

[Android Apps and Games] oursoul:
Hi this is amazing, I'm using it on my Nexus 7 with Sixaxis via bluetooth IME. I was a bit worried at first because nothing was happening when I pressed the buttons on my pad but then I put it in debug mode and it worked so I restarted and turned off debug mode and it still works.

The program definitely needs some kind of exit option. When you are not using the touch screen there are no options at all.

Anyway I'm very happy to be able to play Playstation on my Android, it's amazing.

One last question, what will happen when I need to change to disk two on Final Fantasy 7?

I have a bad feeling :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] rolo143:

[Android Apps and Games] Squarepusher2:
FF7 (or any of the FF games) is no issue because it will ask you to save your game to the memory card before it will ask you to change discs.

I'll be talking to notaz about a way to facilitate disc swapping.
[Android Apps and Games] Squarepusher2:
Can't you just press the 'Back' button? On Android tablets that is always onscreen regardless - I dunno how it is on phones.
[Android Apps and Games] Squarepusher2:
Hopefully some admin can 'review' me BTW so that all of the insane restrictions on posting here can be lifted BTW - it makes it really hard to respond to questions (apparently I need to be 'reviewed' before I'm allowed to even edit posts) and I have to wait 5 minutes before I can make a new post.
[Android Apps and Games] oursoul:
Okay my mistake. I'm using the new Paranoid Android Expanded Desktop and 'Pie' (google it) for navigation and the back button doesn't work.

HOWEVER, using the standard back button works just fine :)

Just have to figure out how to get the 'save state' menu up when using the joypad and I'll be super fine.

As for the multiple disk thing, that's great! Cheers.

You can customize and create your own layouts so this is possible yes.

Copy all the files inside the 'datafiles' folder to your device, select libretro_nxengine.so on RetroArch, and then go to the datafiles folder on your device and select Doukutsu.exe.

Re: RetroArch Android [EMULATOR][GAME][4.0+]

I've tried it briefly and I love the idea of all the emulators in one app but I have to be honest, IMHO, the interface needs some work.

Instead of listing emus as 'libretro_xxxxx.so', couldn't you have friendly names (super Nintendo, Game boy advance etc etc)? Maybe a graphical list + description for this less familiar with names like fce? If it is important to display the .so, perhaps the fancy list could expand to show this kind of details? I love this kind of development, especially Open Src so please realise I'm not bashing, I'd just love to see this mainstream.

Perhaps another option would be to be able to browse for a ROM & infer the emulator required from the extension or the file headers? Just chose ROM and it launches into the correct emulator (or prompt if more than one core is capable )

I haven't tried yet so my apologies if this already exists but also having a handler for the app so that if a file called say Zelda.nds was opened from a file manager, retroarch handles it and launches straight into the game using the best (or preferred) core would be nice.

Lastly, it seems a lot of people have their own ideas on how controls should be laid out. Perhaps you could implement a user submitted layouts feature to the app?

Good luck in your endeavours and hope this app goes on to greatness (tho N64 emulation will be required to achieve that status ;)

Cheers. Steve.

......... Edit .........

Thinking about it a bit more, if ROMs were stored in a structured folder arrangement, you could easily have an 'installed games' view.

Eg...

Sdcard/ROMs/GBA

Sdcard/ROMs/nds

Sdcard/ROMs/smc

Put ROMs in these directories then have a fancy 'game list view' that lists the games found in these directories and launches the game directly?

Just thinking out loud!

Change disk 1 to disk 2

Ok so i got my answer bout saving in Final Fantasy 8... apparently i was closing retroarch in a wrong way .. i mean not cleanly... i closed it through the toggle RGUI and it saved and load my game... but now i encountered another problem which is changing from disk 1 to disk 2. At the end of disk 1 you are prompted to save ur progress... so i did as I did through the game... I started the disk 2. bin and when i hit continue the same thing started to happen... (NO SAVED DATA)... i tried renaming the .state file from my saves to (disk2) but then it appears a message saying WRONG DISK... any clues??

Scanlines working?

Man, the more and more I use this emulator, the more I love it. Works great on the new Nexus 7; no skipping audio or skipped frames. I wish I could figure out how to make scanlines work though. Whenever I select the scanline shader, I get a black screen with just the music...Same thing on my Nexus 4... Anyone know how to get scanlines to work? I asked at the libreto forums and it seems like a scanline shader shouldn't require a lot of power to run, and the Nexus 7 shouldn't have an issue running it... Any suggestions how I can get this to work? Is this a 4.3 issue? Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks

RetroArch Android 0.9.9.5 [EMULATOR][GAME][2.3+] [V0.9.9.4][r19] [UPDATE 8-15-2013]

Biggest deal for this release is - yes, you can now play bsnes/higan on your Android device. You know, that super-accurate (and super-slow) SNES emulator from the PC that everyone swears by.

It has been tested on an nVidia Shield - all non-coprocessor games run fullspeed on it and run perfect on it. The only games that don't run fullspeed on it are Cx4/SA1/SuperFX/DSP (those require BIOS ROM files too BTW). For those games we might need a Tegra 5/Shield 2 or something (:P).

Anyway, enjoy. Loads of other stuff added to this as well:

Really annoying problem I came across while using Galaxy s4. The air view (hovering finger) is causing the buttons in the emulators to be pressed. This happens even when all settings are disabled, but cant completely turn off the feature. Is there anything you can do to stop this detection from happening?

edit: if I restart the app several times, the problem goes away. But can easily come back once app is restarted. So glad there's a way to at least fix the problem.

edit2: I may be losing my mind.. but the problem actually seems to go away after I remove smudges from the screen before restarting the app. :confused:

Joypad is switched to 'joypad+analog' of course, but because of invalid 'dpad emulation' settings I can’t use analog sticks. NVidia Shield, no root. Please help.

This app is great, thanks! Two questions though.

1) I'm using sixaxis ps3 on android nexus 5. Can I use my analog stick as an analog stick, rather than the d pad?

2) What do the button mappings in the over lay relate to? Surely they should look like a ps1 controller, not abyx? I've mapped my sixaxis ps buttons to the letters on the overlay but now they don't work i.e. when the game tells me to hit circle and I hit circle, it doesn't do anything because the mapping is incorrect.
