PSX Beetle not working / trouble with video drivers

gordonfreemanjr · 14 May 2018 08:26

I have trouble setting up PSX Emulation on Retroarch 1.7.3. There are 3 emulators available: PCSX Rearmed, Beetle PSX and Beetle PSX HW. The only one working for me is Rearmed, but graphics are pretty bad and there are no in-emulator graphics options available to up it’s game. Other two, Beetle PSX and Beetle PSX HW, crash on a game’s startup, returning a runtime error.

I have PSX roms working and placed correctly. All my PSX games are carefully processed and in Bin+Cue format.

I’d love to tweak the video drivers, but I’m afraid to, as some driver configurations (I haven’t written the down unfortunately) have already given me black screens on Retroarch’s startup, forcing me to reinstall the whole thing to even get it running. I would really appreciate someone advising me on them.

I’m on Win 7, Intel HD Graphics 4600, Nvidia GeForce GT 730M

I don’t find the instructions very clear for a newbie like myself:

Requirements: OpenGL 3.3 for the opengl renderer Vulkan for the vulkan renderer

Do I need to download these manually or are they included in the core? Does it mean I need to set Vulkan as the Retroarch graphics driver in order to make it work? Does it change the requirements for the input driver and other drivers?

for start, bios should be in lower-case and the exactly filename as in the docs i linked:

scph5500.bin
scph5501.bin
scph5502.bin

2nd i dont know how fast your gpu (GT730M) is, so you can try running Beetle PSX HW if its fast enough for the game you trying to load… if its not, the non HW version of Beetle PSX should work.

Please excuse the BIOS error, it was silly. I have sorted it out now, I hope (however 5501 is renamed from 7003, I read of a few message boards that it’s OK). Still, no matter which version of Beetle I use, it crashes. Please take a look at prtscrs below.

try to get the latest nightly

gordonfreemanjr · 14 May 2018 10:41

I’ve installed this one:

https://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/windows/x86_64/latest/

but the same effect, a runtime error. I’m on 64-bit Win 7; maybe I should install another version? No idea what msvc’s in https://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/ are…

wertz · 14 May 2018 10:44

if your using the installer version, there should be a shortcut there that creates log file. run that and past here the contents of log file

for one, you are using compressed 7z cd image… zipped/7zipped cd images are not supported.

gordonfreemanjr · 14 May 2018 11:21

Damn, I read that It’s all the same… OK, fixed it. Now it’s just bin + cue.

No runtime error now - just a black screen. Ideas?

wertz · 14 May 2018 11:23

black screen usually means bios in in the wrong location.

if not try the non-hw version of beetle psx core

gordonfreemanjr · 14 May 2018 11:28

All bios files are in the system folder. I get the black screen error with both, hw and non-hw versions. Here’s another log for you, hopefully it tells you something.

Looks like bad BIOS. It’s not just the name that’s important, the checksums need to match.

gordonfreemanjr · 14 May 2018 13:32

You were right! The BIOS file (01) was not good. I have switched to a new one and it works now… well, soft of. Still looks bad and there’s a message at startup: “Slow CD image read detected consider using…” (didn’t catch the rest of it, but I’m sure you know what it’s about).

Should I change video drivers in Retroarch?

EDIT: https://developer.nvidia.com/vulkan-driver There’s some kind of Nvidia’s support for Vulkan, maybe I should install it?

What do you mean “looks bad”? Low-res? If so, go into the menu and go to ‘options’ and you’ll find a bunch of things you can mess with to make it look different/better.

gordonfreemanjr · 14 May 2018 14:18

Yes, I know. The problem is that even switching the res to 2x makes the game very slow. Sound’s stuttering terribly. I tried a bunch of options on configurations and nothing seems to be working. Game runs normally only on 1x (native) resolution. I’m wondering if the drivers might do anything for me, or is it just my machine and I’ll never be able to get PSX to work smoothly.

Ok, that means you’re using the software renderer. If you use the Beetle-PSX-HW core, it will use the hardware renderers by default. Those renderers (there’s one for OpenGL and one for Vulkan, and it will use whichever one is compatible with your video driver setting) are buggier than the software renderer, but they have the accelerated resolution increases, PGXP, GL has texture filtering, etc.

gordonfreemanjr · 14 May 2018 14:42

The thing is, if I use the HW core, I have two render options available: hardware and software. That’s it. If I use the non-HW core, there’s only the software option. Both do exactly the same for me. I saw on the Internet that people have the option to choose between hardware, software, opengl and vulkan at this point, but I have only the mentioned two available.

hunterk · 14 May 2018 14:51

That’s outdated information. We condensed the Vulkan and OpenGL options into a single ‘hardware’ setting and it automatically switches between OpenGL and Vulkan based on which one you have active (i.e., instead of crashing if you have the wrong one selected). If you choose software, it uses the software renderer.
