ParraLLel Black Screen

Libretro Cores
#1

I was really interested in trying out the ParaLLel core, but I can’t seem to get anything other than a black screen on starting any rom. I have Vulkan enabled as the video driver, and my video card is definitely compatible (GTX 980 with the latest drivers, not to mention I just played through the entirety of Doom 2016 using the Vulkan renderer). The most I could get out of the games I tried was the “Okay” audio at the start of Donkey Kong 64, still a black screen though. Also worth noting that the roms I tried work fine under Mupen64 (with GL driver enabled, obviously).

Are there any additional things that need to be set up to get this core working? is it broken for anybody else right now?

Turn off shaders and see if that works.

#3

I wasn’t using any shaders to begin with as far as I can tell, shader passes is set to 0 (unless there are other settings for shaders, you can probably tell but I’m not super familiar with libretro or any of its frontends).

#4

Change the rsp plugin to cxd4

#5

That works, thanks. Is there a reason that the ParaLLel RSP isn’t working? Is it supposed to be yet?

#6

It’s very new and still has a lot of bugs, as you’ve seen.
