[Game Region Priorities in BigBox]

Might be missing something obvious here, but in LaunchBox I have consolidated all of my ROMS from different regions into just one Game Listing (Europe, USA, Japan etc.).

Obviously, I can now right click on the game, and select whichever region I want.

However, which Region is loaded if I simply Double click on the game and load it? The same for BigBox, when I select a game, which Region is loaded? And is there any way of changing it at all?

I know that I can change the regn priorities foe images, but wndered if there was a way to do it for the actual games?

[PS2 ISOs and PCSX2]

Thanks for the reply, makes sense.  

[PS2 ISOs and PCSX2]

Hi all, just looking at setting up PCSX2 in LauchBox, was just wondering if there is any difference between USA and Europe ISO versions of the game, with regards to compatibility. I know that some emulators seem to run better with certain regions.

Also, I have noticed that PS2 USA ISOs seem to be a lot smaller then Europe ISOs, just wondered why?

As usual, any help much appreciated!

[Saving game core overrides in Retroarch]

Hi, I am literally puling my hair out - whats left of it. Probably missing something stupid, but here goes:-

I have set up the Beetle PSX HW core now, got it running pretty well (to be honest, looks like a good core). However, a few games need the core specific options tweaking a bit (ie CPU Overclock, PGXP Mode etc).

I am trying to save Game core overrides for these games, but all that seems to happen is the settings are saved for every game on the core, not just that specific game?

I have saved my basic overall settings using 'Save Core Overrides', and then I am trying to 'Save Game Overrides' for the odd games that need tweaking. I have disabled 'Save settings on Exit', but no change. 

Any help much appreciated!

[Upgrade GPU card - Worth it?]

Sorry for the late reply - had a play around with the settings, managed to get Beetle PSX HW running pretty good - only tested a few games though. Interestingly, my settings seem to be completely different to Neil's - suppose it shows how each system differs computer to computer.

[Upgrade GPU card - Worth it?]

Using a 19" LCD - will have another play around with the setup later on, see if I am missing something obvious.

[Upgrade GPU card - Worth it?]

Hi Retro808, I have tried that, and changing the video driver in Retroarch Drivers to suit - it seems that whenever I try and change the resolution, or change anything that may improve the graphics, it just crashes Retroarch.

 

[Upgrade GPU card - Worth it?]

Thanks for the help - what do you use for PS1? I have eboots, and run them through Retroarch. To be honest, every game so far seems to be very 'glitchy' graphics wise, or very poor quality resolution wise. I originally used Beetle PSX, but heard good things about Beetle PSX HW, so tried using that.

[Upgrade GPU card - Worth it?]

Hi thanks for the response - interesting to know that. The system seems fine on all other platforms, just those mentioned above. It may be that I am expecting to much from them? I would have hoped that at least the PS1 games would run fairly true to the originals, but changing the resolutions etc in Beetle PSX HW just crashes Retroarch. Might need to have a play around with it again later on.

 

[Upgrade GPU card - Worth it?]

HI all, I have been slowly building up my system, and am now starting to set up the likes of PS1, PS2, Gamecube, Dreamcast and Wii etc, but I am finding that my computer seems to struggle with these. I have tried various cores and settings etc, but never seem to be able to improve the 'quality' of the games (ie running Beetle PSX HW - changing resolution etc crashes Retroarch and so on).

Not sure if it my GPU that is holding me back a bit?

I am running:-  

i5-4690k

16 gb Memory

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti (4 gb)

I can get a ASUS R9-280 GPU fairly cheap, would upgrading to this GPU be worthwhile in your opinions? 

Thanks all

Old thread I know, but this has just saved me hours of renaming 3D Box Art!

 

[PCSX2 Settings for Arcade cabinet]

Thanks for the response, will have a look later.

[PCSX2 Settings for Arcade cabinet]

Hi all, busy setting up PCSX2 - I am going through all my PS2 ISO's, and deleting any that run poor, to free up space. However, it seems that a few games do run ok if I tweak the settings in PCSX2, however this then has a knock on effect with the previous games I have tested, i.e the settings make that game run poor. As this is all going to be inside an aracde cabinet, I dont want to have to keep adjusting settings - what settings are other people using, is there a general 'these are the best settings' setup?

[Retroarch Dolphin core]

Hmmm, think I will give this another go later - getting bored of going through PS2 ISO's now anyway.

[Exiting PCSX2 with xBox 360 pad]

Thats great, thanks for the help!

 

[Exiting PCSX2 with xBox 360 pad]

Hi all, probably missing something here, but how do I set up PCSX2 so that my back button on my xBox 360 pad acts like the escape key, and exits the game?

[Retroarch Dolphin core]

Yeah, there's no rush to be honest. Will install the Dolphin emulator later and have a play around with that, might even put a few Wii in there as well.

[Retroarch Dolphin core]

That's a shame - really wanted to try and keep as many platforms as possible with Retroarch.

[Retroarch Dolphin core]

Hi all, has anybody had any experiance with the new(ish) Dolphin Retroarch core? Just trying to setup a few Gamecube games, but all I seem to get is a blank screen, with the game music playing?  Wanted to really use the Retroarch core if possible, instead of running Dolphin as an emulator.

[Importing and using PS 1 eBoot files]

Thanks for the heads up - if I download a complete set of games, is there an easy way to 'bulk' convert them to .pbp?

[Importing and using PS 1 eBoot files]

Thanks for all the input - have got a few downloaded and imported now, all looking good! The BIOS caught me out for a while though. All good in the end - now the painstaking task of downloading individual games.

[Importing and using PS 1 eBoot files]

Thanks for the help - will have a go at importing them Tomorrow night.

[Importing and using PS 1 eBoot files]

Thanks for the input, how do you guys use the files? Do you unzip them? Or  do you just rename the actual eboot file with the game name, and import as a ROM file, or do you leave them in there own folder?

[Importing and using PS 1 eBoot files]

Hi all, looking to use eBoot files for PlayStation 1, but to be honest, not to sure how to import them, and set them up? Will be using Retroarch. I have got a few eBoots now, do they stay zipped, and do they stay in folders with the game title, or do you rename the eBoot file to the game name etc etc.  Any special settings needed for Retroarch? Or is there a guide out there anywhere?

[Use platform Background video for Platform categories, but Fanart for Platform and Game Backgrounds?]

Thanks for the help - had an idea it would be something like this, but didn't know if there was a folder tucked away anywhere that I could drop media into.
