Thank you Libretro!

I havenā€™t posted in this thread in a bitā€¦ but I saw this on the homepage for the last update:

  • INPUT/REMAP: Remap label fix when no autoconf profile active
  • INPUT/REMAP: Add ā€˜Save Asā€™ option for remaps and overrides
  • INPUT/REMAPPING: Stop always reseting to defaults on remap delete

I get pretty crazy with my remaps (Anyone whoā€™s seen my posts over the years about controllers probably isnā€™t surprised) and I cannot tell you how much of a godsend that is. I would spend so much time remapping, and re-re-remapping the controls. God I donā€™t know how many times I had to delete the existing remap so that I could save a new remap, but I had to remap because deleting would reset the whole thing.

Itā€™s sometimes the smallest updates that have the biggest impact. So thank you for updating this.

A post was merged into an existing topic: How can i create a new topic? :confused:

#200

Hello, Iā€™m new here, and I canā€™t find a way to create a topic about my problem. I have an OrangePI 4 LTS and I didnā€™t find any official Lakka distro for orangepi4lts. It only has the name of the plate but not the image for download. I tried to use the NanoPi M4 image which has the same architecture and same electronic components, and eth0, wifi and bluetooth donā€™t work. If anyone can help me create a related topic and let me know I would appreciate it!

Thank you for all the Work. I use RA through lakka since 2016. Its the best thing in Retro gaming. I use it on a 65" TV with a Intel based Mini PC and it is a blast to play that way. Only Downside: my consoles get a little dusty at Times :slight_smile:

Thank you very much.

Thank you guys for working on PCSX2 (LRPS2) !!! For me its in very usable shape now. I used an older alpha build before which was a mess. The new Version even includes the software renderer which is good way against many glitches in games. Great work !!!

I have updated and tested a few games quickly. I will test this with a few more games to see how well it works. Here are some notes:

  • Video Driver: The core only works for me when using RetroArch setting (not the one in the core, but the video_driver of RetroArch) to video_driver = "glcore". It does not work with Vulkan for me. I am on Linux and no Direct-X is available. This is the same as before, just wanted to mention if anyone else has a problem because of this.
  • Change: Configuration path (the config folder in retroarch on the filesystem) for the core changed from previously ā€œLRPS2 (alpha)ā€ to ā€œLRPS2ā€ including all associated files in that directory. Useful to know if someone wants to copy files over and rename, to use exact same settings (like me) as before.
  • Same: New version replaces old core in place with same name, so an update is enough, which means there is no need to adapt any playlists. The core file is still named ā€œpcsx2_libretroā€ under ā€œcoresā€ directory, if anyone searches it.
  • Resolved: I personally experienced a bug in a previous version, that is seemingly resolved now: previously when using the crt-royale-ntsc-svideo Shader with curvature enabled. Lot of blue dots appeared and without curvature there was still a few dots in the image and distracting. Not sure if the core or the Shader updates resolved this, but its resolved nontheless.

I tested only a few games and am happy to report its working good (also changed to Software Renderer, but not sure if i see any difference compared to before). Iā€™m so happy this system and core got so much love recently, because this is a very important console to support. Thanks for everyone involved.

Vulkan worked for me with lakka. Had to Set Vulkan driver in mainmenu or per core-override and Set Vulkan renderer in core Options. But then i was unable to Switch to Software Rendering. I go with glcore now.

The last Github changes of LRPS2 are over a year old. What exactly has changed?

#208

Tons of stuff. Weā€™ll do a writeup of it whenever itā€™s officially released, but one of the major draws is ParaLLEl-GS. This is a hardware-accelerated software renderer (via compute shaders) similar to N64ā€™s ParaLLEl-RDP.

That means when Iā€™m downloading the Retroarch nightly core builds then I wonā€™t get the new version?

I was just checking this out. Itā€™s smooth as butter. It looks like itā€™s playing nice with Windows HDR now too. I used to lose HDR when I closed the emulator and had to reset everything, but now there are no problems.

OK thanks for clarification. Sadly it doesnā€™t load any of my chd images. With the official PCSX2 they work. It seems that your versions doesnā€™t support zstd compression. It Would be great if that could be implemented.

I converted my ps2 Games to chd with a small chdman Script i found Here in the Forum some years ago. Donā€™t know about the Codec but they work flawless with lrps2.
