is it possible for np2kai to pick the correct sound board based on the year of release of the chosen game? either from filename Haruka Naru Augusta (1991).hdi or from a libretro-database (if one were to be created?)
also, is there an update on getting the mouse to work on macOS? it is still very much needed.
How do I press GRPH/GRAPH key? Iām using gamepad.
You can use right Alt key as PC98ās GRPH/GRAPH key.
[Notice]
I changed BIOS/system directory name, ānp2ā to ānp2kaiā.
Please rename to use.
Thanks.
Iām using the armhf version and it loads up until the title screen. the emulated core crashes and displays only A>op. Ive tried adjusting some of the configs. Emulated model and ram but still crashes, any help?
NP2kaiās configuration file is located in system directory of RetroArch.
Not only core options but also many setting items are included.
Can you delete NP2kaiās configuration file once?
Does it support pc88 games? I saw d88 format support in core info.
@AZO234 Hello
i downloaded buildbot version np2kai_libretro.so for raspberry. linux > armhf > 2018-04-02_cores
I tested m3u files but without success : Cuty Cop (1994)(ICE).m3u
/recalbox/share/roms/pc98/Cuty Cop (1994)(ICE)(Disk 1 of 2).fdd
/recalbox/share/roms/pc98/Cuty Cop (1994)(ICE)(Disk 2 of 2).fdd
single game (fdi, hdi) work perfectely but with m3u files nothing. and when I tried to launch Cuty Cop (1994)(ICE)(Disk 1 of 2).fdd and I used np2kai menu (L2) TO add disk 2 I open FDD2 and I do not see my files.
FDD1
FDD2
I use only gamepad controller.
I checked loading with .m3u file. (not Cuty Cop)
I couldnāt see you saying.
I started with .m3u (2 FDD images load), FDD2 file selectorās path is right.
However, I started with FDD1 only,
FDD2 file selectorās path is āBIOS/np2kaiā.
Please you check .m3u loading or FDD1 image loading.
Otherwise, 1 FDD image file only is written in .m3u file?
Regard.
Hello @AZO234
what is the content of your m3u file ?
this is my np2kai.cfg
Is there something missing?

INIT doneFD file imageās path is not recorded in config file.
I checked Cuty Cop FDD images.
Initially, it seems that those FDD image files does not started.
I set Cuty Cop dick1 FDD image to FDD1, NP2kai could not read.
Can those FDD files can start any other PC98 core?
I have not tested other cores. I CONVERT fdd in fdi with virtual floppy image I tested several convert games in multidisk fdi format with neko project II for computer, it works
like Girls Paradise (1989)(Great)(Disk 1 of 2)(Disk A).fdi
but in raspberry , no luck. Doesnāt work, I will try tomorrow morning.
I tried a game (with only 1 disk) with one file into m3u file. It doesnāt work i tred few games with 2 disk , same.
How many file ?
That screen is BASIC mode. Floppies are ejected.
Probably, NP2kai cannot read .FDD image files correctly.
I do not know much about Floppy, sorry.
If you can correctly play games using .FDI image conversion, please rely on conversion.
For ordinary PC/AT, PC-98 floppy disk can not be backed up properly.
I think that many failed floppy disk image files are included in the list.
Also, even though the extension is the same, many internal files have different structures.
First of all, please check whether it is an floppy disk image created with the correct 3-mode floppy disk drive and Windows 2000 older.
And try converting file format using VFIC etc.
VFIC (Virtual Floppy Image Converter)

i USE vfic TO convert somes games (multidisk)

I Have few games in FDI : Metal Orange (1991)(Custom)(Disk 1 of 2)(Disk A).FDI (NO CONVERTION)
All multi disc with/without m3u.files donāt work.
I dont load the second disk in np2kai menu.
all my game are in USB Key (Exfat)
Edit : I moved few multidisc game in microsd , and np2kai menu, fdd2 is available (open in np2kai bios folder instead of the folder roms games. :Z
not when game are in usb key.
m3u does not work anyway in this case (microsd)
ITāS A big problem. I can not load the disc on removable media can you fix it ?
Has removal media have the correct access right?
NP2kai core just call fopen() when it reads file.
@AZO234 removal media have the correct access. All folder are in chmod 777 i havenāt no problem with others cores like px68k and m3u files work fine.
I have only one problem with your core.
We are investigating the problem that the m3u file can not be opened correctly.
Processing of NP2kai is transplanted from px68k by copy and paste.
Even in NP2kai or px68k, if you try to open m3u file RetroArch will kill.
Attempt to read LBA 16, >= LBA 0
CDIF Raw Read error
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'MDFN_Error'
There may be problems with the process of opening core m3u,
but I think there is a problem with RetroArch as well.
(There is no confirmation)
When m3u file is selected,
It seems to be activating another core on memory, not NP2kai core.
RA calls coreās retro_init() and retro_load_game().
I set printf() to see notices in NP2kai core when these functions are called.
I used the debugger to monitor the stack,
RA calls retro function, but stdout output is none.
