Any updates on a new .pkg or a nightly build?

Also some questions.
What is the correct pathing information for thumbnails?

Also what is the correct path to place a playlist file.
I know that /dev_hdd0/game/RXMAM0007/USRDIR is the Retroarch path but can’t find any logical indication of where to place a playlist file.

Hey Ezio - I noticed on the Github that you confirmed the Prosystem big endian hash value issue was fixed due to a recent update, and the issue was closed.

Does that mean that it now properly recognizes the same hash values as other versions of Prosystem (PC, Android, etc.)?

AWESOME! Thanks, man.

#126

Que diferencia hay entre DEX y CEX ya que uno tiene más volumen qué otro? Gracias por el aporte.

#127

No hay diferencia en el contenido, es sólo la compresión diferencia entre DEX y CEX.

#128

Thank you so much for this new build, to everyone involved!

#129

Gracias por la aclaración y por los aportes.

#130

Thanks, snes core runs very well

#131

Hi guys, i tried two cores with NTSC and PAL Roms now (snes, gba) and they have some kinda noisy sound, it is a bit shuttering. Even when i have no savestate or stuff loaded. The configuration is stock. Is that a normal behavoir on the current builds? I’m just into retroarch since Ezio_PS latest builds.

I’m running latest build on 4.80.1 rebug cex.

#132

I have the same cfw and i didn’t get those issues. Did you do a dirty or a clean installation? Whether it’s dirty one try deleting the retroarch cfg file and see if it fixes your issue.

#133

Is it just me or is the PCE-CD games broken?

#134

Hi, Do you think it might be possible to have the PCSXRearmed core on the PS3 port? I know you can play PSX games on the PS3, but the PCSXRearmed core allows many cool resolution enhancements, getting rid of the blurry native upscale. I don’t know if the PS3 is powerful enough to run it at full FPS, but it would be awesome!

#135

PCSX-ReARMed gets most of its mojo from ARM’s NEON SIMD extensions, which are not present on the PS3’s PowerPC CPU, so no, it wouldn’t be a good experience there and the resolution enhancements, which require NEON, wouldn’t work at all.

#136

Ok thank you for your reply, that makes sense. I never tried the Mednafen’s PSX core included in the PC version, but do you know if it offers enhancements that could be beneficial to the PSX emulation on PS3 (over the native one)?

#137

I don’t think the PS3 could get full speed with it, unfortunately.

#138

yeah - as much as it’s nice that the various PSX cores are included, none of them will perform better than the native one as far as game play-ability and speed.

#139

can someone explain how the save core overrides feature works?

I’d like to set custom ROM paths for each core, but since then custom core settings went away, I can’t.

#140

Thanks for your help.

It is a clean install. Every core has the same behavior. I also tried to play around with the sound settings but none of them fixed it, so i had to reset the config again.

Do you running it over HDMI ? If so, could u please test it via SCART ?

Mine is CRT TV via Scart RGB Cabel
