RetroArch iOS release (v1.0.0.1)

[system]

One of the snes ones do, the genesis one does… The gba and DS ones don’t, and the psx ones don’t either.

But yeah, I know how these things go. I’ll wait until the next version and see.

Then it’s definitely permission problems or your ISOs being incompatible/bad.

It can’t be the issue that certain cores work and others don’t and that this is the cause of iOS 5 - either everything works or nothing does.

Perhaps meancoot has some more ideas here but I am pretty confident it has nothing to do whatsoever with RetroArch here and more with your ROM files - the permissions on them - permissions on the ‘folder’ itself - and so on. GBA uses an interpreter CPU core just like every other emu so that can’t be it - DS and PSX use dynarecs but on a jailbroken untethered device that should work.

Either way, you need to provide us with more information in any case - crash logs and whatnot are needed here - because all of this isn’t telling us very much.

Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t realize there were crash logs. Where can I find those? You also said it could be a bad rom/iso, but would that be the case if it runs in psx4all (albeit, poorly, but I’m sure that’s not the iso’s fault)?

The start button does not work on the pcsx rearmed for ios

Different strokes for different emulators really - I can’t really claim to know.

It does. You must not be mapping it correctly or something along that nature

You must be talking about an overlay or something -and neglecting to mention which overlay you’re actually talking about.

Yeah,… the overlay for the pcsx rearmed, I’m using the default one and like the setting thing on top is in the way for the start button and like idk how to remap the start button to be in the bottom

You could ‘manually’ edit the overlay by going into RetroArch.app/overlays - and editing the overlay image with Photoshop/whatever and then changing the x/y coordinate of the button in overlay.cfg.

if you mess up you just try again. name it differently and you can keep the original. trial and err makes perfect. this is the same setup as zottds emulator control buttons.

Everyone playing PSX games, use the ps-box-with-diagonals overlay. Do not use the other ones.

By ‘Roms’ directory I mean the ‘Documents’ folder of course that you are sandboxed into.

What should be the correct full path of this Documents folder? I still haven’t find ANY Documents folder inside the RetroArch folder and I’m still stuck with the “Browsed path is not a directory” error when I open RetroArch.

With iFile, the only occurence of the RetroArch folder that I could find is located at:

/var/stash/Applications.L1FTyv/RetroArch.app

I can see the folders of my other Cydia apps beside it and inside the RetroArch.app folder, I can see _CodeSignature, en.lproj, modules, overlays, shaders_glsl and various files but no Documents directory. I created one there but I get the same error.

I’m on iOS 6.1.2 / iPhone4. I’m starting to think that something went wrong when installing RetroArch. I’ve flushed and reinstalled RA, rebooted before and after and I’m still stuck at this point.

Anyways, thanks for helping me so far.

I think mine was there already since iFBA made a few folders there. I have SSH installed on my 4s and use a portable install of WinSCP so I can browse its file system like an FTP as long as it’s connected to my wifi.

It worked. Thanks a lot!

I made a link to my ROMs folder inside the Documents folder that I created there and I can now access them from within RetroArch Documents browser.

Now, let’s play!

Hey I wonder if anyone can help me please, I have been trying to use the PCSX ReARMed emulator on my iPad 4 ISo 6 my iPad is jailbroken but every time I try to load a game, my iPad just reboots its self. It does not happen on any other emulator on retroarch. I have tried to goggle it to find a solution before I asked for help but I had no luck, any help would be welcomed thank you in advance. Dan

Is it untethered jailbroken or tethered jailbroken? It will only work on untethered jailbroken.

Annoying that the PCSX ReARMed core just doesn’t seem to work for some people for no real reason - worked absolutely fine on the Ipad 2/Mini that I have on both 6.1.2 (evasi0n).

Meancoot - you have any ideas here?
