ericksonguti Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Retroarch loads all cps2 games with FBAlpha2012 but it just sounds terrible like sand in a piece of glass. On the other side when i load my games from WinKawaks (CPS2 and NeoGeo specific) it sounds perfectly! The problem is when WinKawaks is set as emulator on LaunchBox it does not load the game automatically, it apparently needs some kind of script add. So it leaves me two options: 1) Solve the retroarch sound problem (read about nigtly builds that work better the sound or past cores, i don't know or found on forums really) or 2) Learn how to make WinKawaks works with LaunchBox (read about scripts that work, i don't know or found on forums really) Can someone help me with these please? I would really apreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Why don't you just use MAME instead of FBA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Or try the more up to date FBA core in Retroarch, the 2012 one is for the really low end hardware such as a RaspberryPi. If you are having sound issues with Retroarch FBA it is most likely a bad build of RA, bad build of a core or bad roms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmonkus Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 There's an FBA core with no year in it the name, that is the more up to date and regularly updated one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I had a similar issue with a nightly build earlier this year. Turned out as @lordmonkus mentioned in his post it was a bad build. I had to go back to the earlier version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because as you can see in this image, MAME on RetroArch does not load my CPS2 Games. It keeps on that screen for a few seconds than it crashes.

ericksonguti Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 I am actually using the original MAME32 to load my CPS2 games with success but can not load it with Retroarch. Can someone help me solve this please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I would try getting the latest CPS2 ROM set of just the latest MAME ROM set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 You could try one of the older mame cores with a year in the name. If your rom set is older in won't work in the current mame as there was a change with the qsound bios which Capcom games use In 0.186, so if your roms are older than that then try a older mame.

DOS76 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) The CPS2 ROM set has undergone 2 major revisions in the last year of so and will not work with newer versions of the emulator Edited July 15, 2017 by DOS76 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 There was also an update not to long ago to the CPS-2 roms, they now have a .key file in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericksonguti Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 it's odd though that MAME32 works perfectly with my ROMS but any of RetroArch's MAMEs don't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericksonguti Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 I've managed to download the latest roms and it worked perfectly with the latest FBA on RetroArch (the one with no date on it). The sound issue is solved now. It seems i'll have to re-download all my CPS-2 games Thanks for everyone that helped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
