I have already put the special chips to the system-folder on my RA-directory which allowed SMK to work with BSNES Accuracy-core, but upon switching to Higan, it stopped working and now gives me just black screen upon startup. Tested the special cores on the actual Higan-emulator and I can confirm it working there, just not finding a way to make it work on Retroarch.
Is the support for DSP1-powered games currently not working for Higan-core on RA?
It works, but higan uses different special chip images. They’re technically copyrighted, so I can’t tell you where you would find them, other than dumping them from your own ROMs, but if you google ‘higan special chip’, you might find more information.
Actually I had gotten those exact same ones you are hinting at, but they still don’t do it for me. It’s also the ones I used for Higan-emulator (to which I presume BSNES-oriented special chips don’t work). Still black screen.
I’ll try to test this evening, but I’m pretty sure those worked for me. In the meantime, try getting a verbose log and it should tell you where it’s looking for them and what it’s looking for, exactly.
How to do that? Seems bit complicated to me from what I find from here-
You just need to run from a command line with --verbose --log-file log.txt and it will print everything to a log file.
I just checked and those images worked for me. Just make sure you get the ones that have e.g. dsp1b.data.rom and dsp1b.program.rom
I have those too already:
Anyway, here’s the log:

Can you try using a No-Intro ROM and see if that does any better?
Using NSRT Frontend, I can confirm mine’s the No-Intro one through checking hashes that match the ones in NO INTRO-rom.
Anyway, something odd happened, tried another rom that was sfc-format and it works now. From what I could find, it seems the working rom had no header - the original one did, but couldn’t identify it. I suppose the header was corrupted.
Yeah, I’m not sure if the higan core supports headered ROMs at all.
