BSX / Satellaview question

[Special T]

I've been trying to get BSX / Satellaview games to load in the bsnes_mercury_balanced_libretro.dll core and the bsnes_balanced_libretro.dll but I can't seem to get them to work.

I put the BS-X.bin bios file in the RetroArch/System folder and I renamed my rom extensions from .bs to .sfc

When I try to load any rom, it just goes to a black screen.

Has anyone else been able to load BSX / Satellaview games?

I use the Snes9x core and it works flawlessly. I stopped using the BSnes cores as there just were too many of them and I never knew which one to use, and when.

I can't say I tried many of the games for it but the Zelda games worked just fine with both Snes9x and BSnes cores.

I distinctly remember having to use a hex editor on Kaizou Choujin Shubibinman Zero to get it to work. That's the only one i recall having issues with. if you're interested there is more info on that here https://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php?topic=19169.0

I'm still not sure what I'm doing wrong, the games still wont load in the bsnes core or the snes9x core   I've tried several different command lines but none of them are working

-L "cores\snes9x_libretro.dll" -bsx

-L "cores\bsnes_mercury_balanced_libretro.dll" -bsx

-L "cores\bsnes_mercury_balanced_libretro.dll" --subsystem bsx

"system\BS-X_BIOS_(English)_[No_DRM]_[2016_v1.3].sfc" -L "cores\bsnes_mercury_balanced_libretro.dll" --subsystem bsx

 

can someone post their command line settings and a picture of their retroarch emulator settings... maybe I accidently clicked something that is messing up satellaview emulation.

What rom set are you using? I'd suggest the No-Intro. Can you load the games up in Retroarch first, without launchbox?

[Special T]

Thanks for the relpy. I'm using the No-Intro set and it's updated to the latest No-Intro Dat file.

I'm using Albert Odyssey (Japan).bs as a test rom with a crc value of 0E89FA41

I just thought I would post this here in case anyone is having trouble getting these to work in the future. Most people seem to get these working okay and I have done so successfully in the past with snes9x core. However, for some reason they were not working for me recently when I added them again to my setup. The only thing that made these games work for me was using the mesen-s core. So, if anyone is struggling give that a shot as it may work for you too.
