bc320 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 It has been awhile since I set up lunchbox and retroarch. I wanted to change to the BeetlePSX emulator from the current one I have. I updated retroarch and launchbox but when I edit retroarch in the emulator management tool, beetlepsx isn't an option for Playstation. How can I set this up so launchbox will load retroarch with this core? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Look for the mednafen psx core. It's the same core but in the RA GUI it's called Beetle but the core name is called Mednafen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bc320 Posted September 18, 2022 Author Share Posted September 18, 2022 I am looking for a good recommendation for a PS1 emulator. I tried retroarch's beetle core, but it won't seem to work with the majority of the files I have in. They are in .bin format. I have ePSXe but the video quality is meh and some of the games are choppy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bc320 Posted September 18, 2022 Author Share Posted September 18, 2022 (edited) Found that. Can't seem to get it to work at all. That core only seems to work with 1 game file that is .cue. The others are .bin and that core doesn't seem to like them. On top of that, when I try the one game from Big Box it won't load. The .bin files will only allow a SwanStation core associated with them for playstation. Edited September 18, 2022 by bc320 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I merged threads since this didn't need a new one. Yeah, Beetle / Mednafen requires your games to be in cue + bin format or CHD. Beetle / Mednafen and Swanstation / Duckstation are bother solid and are the best options. Neither is objectively better than the other in any meaningful way though a lot of people are on the Duckstation / Swanstation hype train. ePSXe is solid and looks the same as the other emulators unless you have some weird video settings going on.

bc320 Posted September 18, 2022 Author Share Posted September 18, 2022 Ok. One was retroarch specific and the other general. I don't need to use retroach. I just want better graphics. With ePSXe the graphics are very pixelated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Well as I said, the graphics should look the same in eSPXe, Mednafen and Duckstation unless you have some video settings changed or using shaders. With 3D games you can up the internal resolution scaling with ePSXe, Duckstation and the Beetle/Mednafen HW core in Retroarch. This will make 3D games look sharper but 2D sprite based games with still look pixelated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
