Hi.
I just tried to install Retroarch so that i can play cps-3 and cps-2 games on Ubuntu, but I’m having some problems.
I added the repository " ppa:libretro/stable " to the software sources and made an update.
Then i installed libretro and all the wrappers to fbalpha.
I opened the program, loaded the core but when i chose the content (roms) the program exits and nothing happen.
I’m sure that I’m doing something wrong. Is the wraper the same thing as a core?
Thanks.
Yeah, it sounds like you have the right packages, you probably just have the wrong ROMs. If you google ‘fba roms’, the first hit should have the ones you need.
EDIT: a log would also be nice, if you could launch from a command line with --menu --verbose.
Hi.
Thank you very much for your reply.

Is this the log?
I just tried installing the Snes wrapper and it worked. I will try to find what is wrong with FB alpha.
Is there a way to load cores automatically?
Does FB Alpha have a Linux version (without Retroarch)?
I’m not seeing any errors in your log but are you sure that’s the whole thing? I don’t think there’s any native linux FBA but you can use the Windows version(s) in WINE, AFAIK (fightcade’s linux port is via WINE).
Re: automatic core loading, there’s a ‘load content’ > ‘detect core’ option that will try to guess which core to use but arcade ROMs are tough, since they’re in generic zip files. If you want to load a core from the command line, you can do it like this: retroarch -L /path/to/libretro-core.so gamename.zip

Once again, thank you very much for your answear.
I this that’s it. I wrote retroarch --menu --verbose on terminal, closed the program and then copy pasted in here.
I tried the fbalpha through wine but is very slow.
I don’t know if it needs additional software (like Directx), but on my computer it didn’t run very well.
oh lol, that explains it. I meant you should launch it like that, do whatever you normally do to get the offending behavior (in this case, just try to load one of your ROMs) and then paste the resulting error here.
Hi.
Sorry for the late response.
I tried the Final Fight and it worked, so the problem must be the roms.
If i want to play Cps 3 games, which core should i choose?
Is there a windowed version of libretro? Something like Mameui.
FBA is probably your best bet for CPS3. The MAMEs are a lot slower but you could try them, as well, if you find FBA lacking for whatever reason.
By ‘windowed,’ do you mean runs in a window with mouse-driven menus (File, Edit, etc.)? If so, not with all of RetroArch’s features.

Yes, that’s what i mean.
I don’t need much features. Just scanlines and a easier way of config the keys.
If i wanted scanlines on retroarch, how would i activate it?
