nadenislamarre “remove per-line sprite limit” is turned on in megadrive options and cant be turn off permanently, It turns back on when starting a game again. Not sure if this a bug or its meant to be this way. I like to have this off or on when needed.

I ve testet the latest Beta (all the Betas ;-) ) and noticed 2 things.
The First are the missing Video Sequences in Cemu… like in Mario Kart 8. You can just see a green little window instead of an Video. I ve searched around and this is a well known Problem in Cemu. I ve found an Tutorial on Youtube how to solve this Problem but dont know how to do this in Batocera.
The second thing is that I cant start any PS3 Game. It stuck always at 99% by compiling the ppu module when it reads the Ps3 Firmware.
You are doing an amazing Work. Thank You very much for this amazing OS.

nadenislamarre

for 1, can you provide the video url ?
for 2, how long did you wait ? nothnig in the rpcs3 logs ?

Lewi

This is the Url for 1
for 2
I ve tested this in the last 3 Beta Versions and it stuck at 99% for about 30 Minutes… then I turned it of. This evening I will tag a closer look to the logs. The behavior of Rpcs3 is a little bit strange. After round about 10 Minutes the Rpcs3 closes and turns back to the starting screen when I press F1. Just the Window where i can read 99% compiling ppu modules stays open.

nadenislamarre

hum, not sure i want to include this into batocera while cemu team wont.
i will need more tests to be sure. for 30 possibly.
if you want to install it on 29, just unzip it in /usr/cemu then run batocera-save-overlay in ssh.

Massouille

nadenislamarre hello, plugin to cemu and this manipulation don t work, plug-in isn’t detecting by cemu, same after batocera-save-overlay or reboot.

Lewi

Ok. I will try that maybe tomorrow and tell you if it works or not. I ve build a second System which i am testing every beta of Batocera before i put it on my Mainsystem. If you like that am testing anything, just tell me. My System Ryzen 3600, Geforce 1660, 16 Gig Ram.

nadenislamarre

the cemu hook is not the subject here. it will be postpone on a later version.

N2+ reconnu comme un N2

how are windows games launched ???
I understand that you have to create a kind of script or launcher, but I have not tried different ways, and it does not launch the games in these last betas

nadenislamarre

see wiki (https://wiki.batocera.org/emulators:windows32_windows64).
3 ways. script lauchers are just for convenience.
windows_installer to execute setup.exe cdrom.iso
windows : to copy directorires directly from windows
the store for free open source retrogames like xmoto

Hi there and well done for the massive amount of work for the N2+!

Is there anything you can do for 8bitDo SN30 Pro (wired, USB) support?
Thank you!

hi.
i’m trying to figure out how does this DXVK thingie work in wine. is it automatic? how can i be sure the game uses it? and finally - does it work for games that require directx9 (especially: d3dcompiler_42 and d3dx9_42)?
im trying to run model2 emulator under wine, if it matters. the graphics stutter. the same emulator works great on windows on same hardware.
edit: im not 100% sure it’s directx problem…
another edit: IGNORE IT, its not a directx problem after all..

Lewi

I’ve Installed the beta 1 clean on my Testsystem and can’t download the Cemu Graphicspack. The Download starts normal and then stops at “Extracting”.
Update:
If you update from an older Beta with already existing Graphicspack it still works.

nadenislamarre

@biGdada for support, you should on the discord (or forum) ; liberodark is the best to answer all your questions i think.

nadenislamarre

@phranz mine works.
@Veuksy i’m rolling back uboot. it should be good in the next build. it will be done this night. we will confirm tomorrow.
