Edit; both sega ms and gg freezing

RetroArch Android devices
#1

Master System games freeze on me within seconds. I read somewhere that I should uninstall / remove the cfg file and reinstall Retroarch to fix this problem. But I can’t for the life of me find any Retroarch files on my Phone (Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini). Could anyone please help me out here? Thanks in advance :slight_smile: By the way, I also wanted to say that the Samsung Gamepad works great with Retroarch so far! :slight_smile:

I think just uninstalling should get rid of everything, though I don’t think it’ll help with your specific issue. You probably were reading about the mupen issues where the crashing is caused by a config issue. I think the Master System crash is something else.

Thanks. If it helps, I just found out that it happens as soon as the screen has to scroll along to follow the player character. I succesfully loaded Land of Illusion and started the first level. It kept running and I could but-jump on the first oncoming enemy (a snake) just fine. But as soon as I walk to the right far enough for the screen to have to scroll along, the game freezes and eventually takes me back to the RetroArch menu. Hope this helps? MegaDrive games run great! :smiley:

Anyone? It’s both master system and game gear that freeze or crash at scrolling, all other systems work just fine. Thanks!

#5

try disabling the threaded video driver option.

#6

Thanks, but nothing happened when I turned it off - still freezing…

#7

Please, anyone else? I’d love to play the Illusion series on my Android…

#8

There was a race condition that would happen with threaded video that was fixed but hasn’t been published so far so you would have to build

#9

So does this mean on the next update to the Play market we can expect the Game Gear issues resolved? Can anyone confirm this fix resolves those issues?

#10

New version is out but Game Gear games are still not working. Is this issue being looked into?

#11

Same here, still doesn’t work for me, either…

#12

Yeah, we’re investigating it. It looks like the genplusgx issue might be something introduced upstream. For picodrive, I’m getting messed up colors and no input. Is that what other people are experiencing, as well?

#13

the issue is fixed with the RetroArch-2014-03-05.apk testbuild from here viewtopic.php?f=25&t=993 No crashes on any SMS / GG game with Genesis Plus GX. Did any code change for genesisplus gx happen between this and the official 1.0.0.2 version?

#14

Yes, picodrive messes up the colors for me, as well.

#15

i guess is this is due inacurate emulation
