I am having problems with the beetle psx cores (both of them). Whenever I load any game it brings up the game window and I can see the frames going up, but I get no audio or video. I have deleted the history file from retroarch, and also removed any trace of of the beetle psx cores from the retroarch directories and re-downloaded them Nothing helped. Any Help with this would be greatly appreciated.
This is almost certainly a BIOS and/or malformed cue sheet issue.
I forgot to mention that I am using the same Bios I always used and the same copies of the games and they used to work using the beetle core. I guess what I am trying to say is nothing has changed and the core just suddenly stopped working.
I guess you’ll have to get us a log, then. I haven’t heard of anyone else having such an issue suddenly, so it might be something on your end.
Have you updated your cores lately? Can you pinpoint when the issue started?
I’m getting a similar issue myself actually, however I feel like mine was more self-inflicted.
I accidently button mashed when on a game over screen of MedEvil 2 and ended up starting a new game. When the first mission was loading I just closed the game in retroarch, tried to restart and now nothing!
I’ve deleted the Roms, rebuilt the Roms, updated the cores, uninstalled retroarch and re-installed retroarch and still nothing.
The only one that seems to work is PSX Rearmed, however it doesn’t react to any controller or keyboard input…
try deleting your memory cards / srm files. Other than that, post a log and we’ll take a look.
Done that, but how do I post a log? I can’t seem to find any way to create a log nor any that’s hiding away.
Edit: now Rearmed it working, however Bettle and Beattle HW isn’t working…
instructions are in this post:
can you test using gl driver instead?
you need to restart retroarch, after changing vulkan to gl
what exactly are you doing? i see here “saving state” right before “loading dummy core” which suggests that either you close psx or psx closed after you initiated savestate or you autosavestate is ON and its closing upon doing savestates.
if indeed this is savestate related, can you turn that off awhile? and see if things work properly?
I only close it after a few mins, to show that nothing happens at the moment.
I believe the autosavestate is on since it just remains on the black screen.
i see you have autosavestates enabled. maybe turn this off and check.
It didn’t work before I added the autosave…and still not working here:
i still dont know whats wrong there, this could still be a bios issue since you are using an EU cdimage, check that first that they are correct for the region you need.
also EU cdimage are protected(at least some) you need an .sbi file(or something) when loading the image.
it could be also the image itself is damage. try to test with another known working cdimage, preferably US ones.
I have all the Bios I believe, I gained them the same as before, I have all the .sbi files AND I had redownloaded the images too. Seems to work fine on Rearmed for some reason, but unfortunatly I can’t take screenshots like I could with beetle via Steam.
I have had the same problem three months ago. Yesterday I just want to play and it worked flawlessly
