That playstation core crashes on that stable quite often for some reason I couldn’t get anything to load on it either.

Install this version of retroarch. http://www.filepup.net/files/l0EE1436043005.html

Download the pcsx rearmed core within the app. And they will all run flawlessly.

That is the nightly version just packed into ipa

I am sorry i cant download the ipa from the link that u send,it said it doesn’t exist :frowning: can u share a file from dropbox?or sendspace?Thanks

Your problem is PPJailbreak. backup your device then restore it to iOS 8.4. after restoring your device jailbreak it with taig jailbreak. Now you can jailbreak your device with mac or win. finally, install retroarch 1.0.0.1 from cydia and have fun. Make sure ps1 roms or games have (bin or img) format.

#7

hmmmm…is that the only way???I heard 1.0.0.1 had bugs and error and they have fixed on 1.0.0.2 nightly version.Please is there any other way?i don’t want to jailbreak again with TaiG because i heard TaiG have error ;( Help?

#8

wait a second did you try any ps1 game??? i just reread your post i noticed something where retroarch crashes.

this is the rom you are trying to play it ““Final Fantasy VIII (E) (Disc 1) [SLES-02080].bin.ecm””" <= ecm is your problem. try to load any bin or img game to see if the jailbreak is fine with psx core. let me give you a hint most website that have FFVIII is on ecm format except (private message).

I got it now with the link freeroom that u gave to me,Thanks man…

But i have to choose core which was pcsx_rearmed_interpreter_ios.dylib instead of PlayStation1 (PCSX ReARMed). When i play with PlayStation1 (PCSX ReARMed),the RetroArch app crush. I do have some problem while playing the game,if u dont mind pls help.

1.(Save Problem) When i save final fantasy viii from game and close and remove from multitasking and open the app and run again,my save are gone.But i can use save state on retroarch config and when i load state the game was continue from the time that i close. 2.(Sound Glitch) While i was playing the game,the sound is not normal,i think every 5sec it a little glitch which is ok but is there any way to fix that? 3.(Config Problem) Every time i run the game,it comes with retroarch.cfg.i set my custom config but when i open the app,i have to go via directory and locate my config.When i load my config,i have to load my final fantasy viii.bin from “Load Content (PCSX-ReARMed) …” 4.(Graphic Problem) I set everything to enable or max like

  Enable interlacing mode(s)  -&gt;enabled
  Enhanced resolution (slow) -&gt; enabled
  Enhanced resolution speed -&gt; enabled

at Core Option,when i load my p1 game bin And Setting>Video Option> Vsync ->On Hard GPU Sync ->On Hard GPU Sync Frames -> 3 VSync Swap Interval ->4

When i set everything like that,the game is smooth and best graphic like before. but appear like this when i was at battle,and world map At world map - > u see a dark and white line between down arrow and left and right arrow At battle -> on Squal and Quantis progress orange bar,background is black and it glitches like black insertion.

Now I can confirm your problem is PPJailbreak. backup your device then restore it to iOS 8.4. Then jailbreak it with TaiG jailbreak before it’s too late. this issue happened with PlayStation1 (PCSX ReARMed) before:

Not working ------------------------------------------------------------- working

iOS 5.1.1-------------------------------------------------------- iOS 6.1.2 (evasi0n jailbreak) fixed it.

iOS 7.1 (pangu) with 64bit devices ----------------------- iOS 7.0.x (evasi0n7)

iOS 8.4 (PP Jailbreak)----------------------------------------- iOS 8.4 (TaiG Jailbreak)

Most of you issues (Graphic Problem, sound, lags etc.) from the interpreter_ios.dylib. At least try it on one of your iphone 5s or 6.

apple released iOS 8.4.1 and no jailbreak works on it. I’m not sure if you can still restore to 8.4

#12

you can also delete your jailbreak without using iTunes or going to iOS 8.4.1 there is a tweak in cydia is called Cydia Impactor check this video

after using this tweak you can jailbreak your iphone using TaiG jailbreak
