PCSX_REARMED vs MEDNAFEN_PSX

Hello,

I have 15 psx games I can play with known emulators like PCSXR or EPSXE. With libretro PCSX_REARMED I can play all my 15 games too. But with libretro MEDNAFEN_PSX, I have only 2 games are fully playable, I obtain only black window for the others or a core dumped…

For example, if I launch Tarzan with retroarch:


$ ./retroarch

My 2 games that work with MEDNAFEN_PSX: Hokuto no ken Road Rash

Do you have better results with MEDNAFEN_PSX?

I don’t have any problems with mednafen psx, you just need the CORRECT BIOS, not a BIOS http://wiki.libretro.com/index.php?titl … dnafen_PSX

I found the good ones and all my games are playable now, thank you.
