I could say a Master in Computer Science and two decades of development from designing low level languages and frameworks to high level games should be enough to give you an idea that I speak not as an inexperienced emulation user, but as a software engineer, but that shouldn’t be needed for someone that has a background in computer architecture. I may end up dual booting with Lakka and an Ubuntu Minimal install that goes straight into PCSX2 to temporarily “solve” this. If RetroArch gets updated with the latest versions of Dolphin and PPSSPP (and they work) then I will still have the issue with PCSX2.

The test box has 4 GB RAM, a fairly modern (if low end) CPU, and the graphics chip supports OpenGL 4.3, so it should be hardware compatible with any emulator I throw at it (even if its not powerful enough to run them all at reasonable speeds) Wii seems to be a known issue with Lakka/RetroArch and there is no way that Lakka/RetroArch can work with PCSX2 (and Play! is far from a compatible replacement). I am still experimenting with the test box to try and isolate the issues with GC and PSP. Of these systems, GC, Wii, PSP, and PS2 are the trouble children. What I want/What I am trying to achieve, is a stand alone box that plays all my favorite games from (before) the PS3/360 era (NES, SNES, N64, GC, Wii, GB/GBC, GBA, DS, 3DS ( when its mature), PS1, PS2, PSP, Genesis, Saturn, and Dreamcast) with a simple, intuitive, and easy to use interface to launch them from. Side note, don’t change rendering_mode to unbuffered. Software wise they are both using 2.1 but not the nightlies. Not sure what could be different other than hardware differences.

will have to investigate the differences at a later time. Oddly enough, it seems that the Raspi will render the videos correctly though. Far more sluggish in game, (but better than Raspberry Pi) Jack and Daxter Lost Frontier: Does the same as Final Fantasy as far as prerendered cut scenes go. Harvest Moon Hero of Leaf Valley : Seems to run very smooth. but the game seems to load just fine once you actually get into the game even if it is a touch sluggish. Some still glitch here and there.įinal Fantasy Aniversary edition: does not play the prerendered cut scenes correctly. After that most games that were crashing at the point of entering the select save point screen straightened up. Okay, I do not have the games that you have, and I will note that PPSSPP performance on my hardware will be quite different than your x86 box as I use an Asus Tinkerboard.
