hey guys.
I have a rpi3 and tested around ten games.
the problem I have is that I can not get past any of the memory card screens in the very beginning.

I also can not use normal ppsspp, it will not start and go back to ES screen.

I installed retro pie on osmc, are there any dependencies that I need for ppsspp (osmc has no desktop etc).

also what could be the problem that lr-ppsspp crashes whenever it wants to access the memory card ? I couldn’t find someone else with that problem.

I already tried to put the assets in the correct folders, rebuild from source, reinstalled a couple of times – but no luck.

please help or advice
greets

Hello guys
i got my Raspberry Pi2 and sold the Pi B+ on ebay.

I inserted my SD Card from the Pi into the Pi2 and i only get a Big Rainbow Square, no booting, no nothing. I use the same Power supply (which has enough Ampere) but i still cant get it to boot.
It took me several weeks to have Emulationstation configured and everything, is there any way to Transfer the Files from the SD Card to a new installation ?
Its all hidden partitions and i dont want to spend another week just configuring stuff

So another update for today

Performance got a little better.. i applied some of the tweaks from this homepage and free’d up more RAM that way

https://extremeshok.com/1081/raspberry-pi-raspbian-tuning-optimising-optimizing-for-reduced-memory-usage/

The Controller that i rebuild with another PCB is working really really well now, so i am happy with that.

I have a heatsink and a small fan on my Raspberry Pi B+ and run with the following settings in config.txt (i found that force_turbo improved performance)

arm_freq=1100
gpu_mem=256
avoid_safe_mode=0
gpu_freq=440
core_freq=550
sdram_freq=600
over_voltage=6
force_turbo=1

So i will keep you updated on any progress i make. But At least i could play the games in gngeo pi, but to be honest, i enjoy the shaders in FBA-Libretro and really would love to have everything running on that specific emulator.

Hey guys.. some nows from the front..

Still have performance issues with the Libretro version of FBA, i would really love to get this one to work, could it be that i only can use SDL2 instead of normal SDL ?

I also took the time today to use an older USB Gamepad i had layin’ around and test if it uses Axis.
I used jstest and saw that this one should work, so i took it all apart, figured out the wiring and installed the PCB in my Arcade stick.
Now my Arcade stick is working perfectly (also i have faster response on the buttons) yay :D

Hello, first of all thanks for the answer.

I can tell the following now.

The Controls are working with FBA-libretro, but its damn slow, even with high overclocking (arm 1100, gpu 440, sdram 600, core 550)

The normal FBA works, not with all roms, but still i cannot move because it NEEDs Axis for UP/DOWN LEFT/RIGHT.. so i cannot use this one either

Gngeo Pi – Best Performance – No sound issues, good framerate, but Buttons Lag and after some seconds of playing get stuck (so i move right and it will continue moving right and not take any new controls).

In the past hours i tried every different driver combination known to mankind (input / video and audio driver in all different combinations because i thought it would make a difference).. But as far as i can tell, the issues remain, and stay the same.

I also can only choose SDL2 in audio and video (maybe SDL2 is not so good because i got laggy audio on FBA-libretro). I reinstalled the SDL 1.2 but it still is not showing in the RetroArch Features List (do i have to uninstall SDL 2 ?)

So for now i would be the happiest guy if FBA-libretro wasnt so slow (i like the shaders, the Controls are working, but the Audio is lagging and the Framerate as well)

I also tried different Modes and Audio Rates, turning Video Threading ON/OFF, all sorts of Options inside the Retroarch.cfg without any luck.

I am slowly losing faith that my project of building a nice Arcade Station will burst into flames.

Any other suggestions :( ?

cool project, bro :)
