How do you change controller ports in Retroarch? For Psycho Mantis.

[fernandopellegrini]

Wow turning off supersampling was what made it look great! I don't know if any of you guys struggled to get to look just like the video, but for me this was the key. Dino Crisis was looking awful before turning it off

[Sierra_Vice]

Oh wow, didn't even know you could compress PSX Games to save space! Hope it doesn't break the performance like some of the compressed GC/Wii Iso's I had a while ago. Great Video and great playlist!

[mr.tie-rex]

I could also play physical games using retroarch which could also balance space.

[shaneconway]

you skip half the parts' people are actually looking for help with

[markochinsky]

Thank you very much! Especially the settings for the warping textures I didn't know, that improved the graphics massively (WipEout 2097)

[WafflesIsTheStuff]

Good stuff. Got Crash Bandicoot 3 to work flawlessly. Best part about this method is seeing the full PS1 startup every time. Music to my ears. 🎶
I was finally able to see the difference between PAL and NTSC. Huge performance boost and how horrible that people had to go through that not knowing what they were missing.
Thank You !

How in oblivion do i set an specific memory card? I've trying to load my EPSXE 1 memory card with a YGO Forbidden save file but Retroarch simply does not load any memory card lol

[JonasASMR]

Hey, I can't get the Beetle PSXc HW Core to work with my RetroArch. Like, it won't even give me the option to choose the core after I try to launch up game (yes, I downloaded it, and I have the bios files installed). Is there something I'm doing wrong?

[FlyntIsBack]

Hey, thank you so much for the guide!

How can I convince you to become a hooligan that posts illegal download links? Scotch? An Amazon Gift Card? The contact info for the best international trade/tort lawyer I know?

Whatever it is, what’s really criminal is just how bad PlayStation Plus sucks! Keeping games like XenoGears and Legend of the Dragoons out of reach for fans is the real travesty here; how dare they!

[Diegus-]

Speaking of steam version. Is there a way to use RA on steam I mean replacing steam version with standalone version so I keep the online updater but at the same time keeping the "show status" for friends option? Cuz it's an amazing function I kinda miss but I think the online updater is more important. Can I have both at the same time (on steam)?

[jeffsim]

Why is my retroarch different to everyone elses i can get what every on else gets iv been battling for a long time now

[Red_Ryan_Red]

The thing I was missing was converting the bin/cue to chd format. Thanks!

[WinchesterxNL]

Seriously helpful video!
I do have 1 question though, if you wouldn't mind helping me out.
Converting the Bin/Cue files to CHD. Which files are then save to delete? Just the Bin file? Or both the Bin and Cue files?
I'm really new to all of this. So I would appreciate the help a lot! Thank you so much for this setup video!

[pascaljeske]

The core Work Not more ☹️ with Update 1.15

[michi]

Perfect. I got a problem though, the ps1 Bios starts up but wont load the game so im stuck in the ps1 menu. How do i fix this?

[llYukiokami]

i have same core updated and there is no supersampling setting

[DBassLiner]

I created m3u files. But there are big problems with it.... I have a saved game from Final Fantasy IX, CD 3 and can't load the game. I managed to load the save point, but it won't load the game from the memory card

[hamiltonics]

I did all the configs right here (without vulkan cause my pc sucks) and my games are running... Crispy. What can it be?

[coolrash]

hye guys! where super INTRO PS1 on starting game?
