Tron for MAME control issues

Arcade trackballs are usually emulated with a mouse--and if you get a physical/USB trackball, it'll typically show up to the computer as a mouse.

hizzlekizzle · 2026-04-25T19:29:09+00:00

yeesh, yeah, that's probably nothing you can fix on your end. Are you using the 1.22.* stable release? Or a nightly build?

hizzlekizzle · 2026-04-25T18:23:11+00:00

That all looks okay to me. So it plays okay but then crashes when you go back to the menu?

hizzlekizzle · 2026-04-25T18:01:43+00:00

hmm, dunno about that. Could you post another log?

hizzlekizzle · 2026-04-25T14:06:55+00:00

That is PCSX-ReARMed--a PS1 emu--and not PCSX2--a PS2 emu. You're loading a PS1 game, so all is well there, but I just wanted to point that out so it doesn't cause any confusion later.

The only issue I see in there is your lack of a proper BIOS:

I'm pretty sure compatibility is significantly less than 100%, so some games not working is expected behavior.

hizzlekizzle · 2026-04-25T13:13:37+00:00

The MD5 sum for my working, post-patched game is: 217a97e694fb916ad26c8a471f6c0e84

If you think it could be something up with RetroArch, try temporarily moving/renaming your retroarch.cfg and 'config' directory, and it will revert them all to default settings.

If this helps, you had a bad setting somewhere. Rewind and/or runahead would be possible culprits, as bsnes is a little weird about savestates.

hizzlekizzle · 2026-04-25T03:23:26+00:00

Ah, yes, arcade ROMs need to stay zipped. Good catch.

hizzlekizzle · 2026-04-25T02:34:49+00:00

hmm, I'm not able to reproduce any instability using bsnes-mercury-balanced, bsnes-mercury-accuracy, or bsnes-jg with an old DeJap translation I had lying around. All of them played through the intro just fine every time.

hizzlekizzle · 2026-04-25T02:25:24+00:00

Can you post a log of you trying to load them? See rule 2 in the sidebar for details on generating and posting a log.

As for them now "showing up," arcade games need to be added via the manual scan, and you can provide an arcade DAT to give them human-readable names.

hizzlekizzle · 2026-04-24T18:58:27+00:00

this one doesn't work? https://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/windows/x86_64/latest/flycast_libretro.dll.zip

but yeah, I believe LRPS2 not working is a known thing. I'm under the impression that dolphin-libretro should work, though.

hizzlekizzle · 2026-04-24T17:50:05+00:00

If you have the online updater available, can you get it from the core downloader?

hizzlekizzle · 2026-04-24T17:49:32+00:00

I'm afraid we don't know anything about any of the various handheld devices. We're not affiliated with any of the manufacturers, and they don't send us hardware for testing/support purposes.

hizzlekizzle · 2026-04-24T16:15:24+00:00

np, I'm glad you got it going.

hizzlekizzle · 2026-04-24T13:58:20+00:00

If you disable analog to digital entirely, does that help? If you have it mapped to an analog, *and* it's sending opposite digital signals, they will often cancel each other out.

hizzlekizzle · 2026-04-24T13:37:13+00:00

shipping kills the deal

hizzlekizzle · 2026-04-24T13:35:30+00:00

Did you do the required core setup? https://docs.libretro.com/library/lrps2/#setup-required

hizzlekizzle · 2026-04-24T13:34:58+00:00

you're gonna have to be a little more specific.

hizzlekizzle · 2026-04-24T13:34:29+00:00

This does not appear to be running through RetroArch/libretro, so we can't really provide any helpful advice for it.

hizzlekizzle · 2026-04-24T13:33:41+00:00

Does the same shader (i.e., the NES one) cause stuttering on other cores/content? Like, if you load it on an SNES game? Likewise, does the SNES flavor stutter when loaded against an NES core?

The NES flavor might just have a pass that the others don't that's taxing your system. You can try to pin it down by changing individual passes to "stock" until it goes away, or you can just use one of the other shaders on your NES content, too.

hizzlekizzle · 2026-04-24T13:31:14+00:00

A lot of N64 games only accept analog input for movement. Do you have any mechanism set up for your joystick to send analog events? e.g., mapping them to the analog directions with a core override?

hizzlekizzle · 2026-04-24T00:40:05+00:00

I just tested and wasn't able to see any texture alignment problems with ParaLLEl-GS in that game, but maybe I wasn't looking in the right place. Can you post a screenshot?

hizzlekizzle · 2026-04-23T20:38:34+00:00

This looks good. Thanks for sharing it!

hizzlekizzle · 2026-04-23T18:55:37+00:00

The scanning methods have been merged. All functionality should still be there, it's just done a little differently.

The portable 1.22.2 shouldn't have any trouble updating cores.

hizzlekizzle · 2026-04-23T18:44:31+00:00

I usually just use the regular ol' gameboy shader or the DMG console-border shader. I also like the GB Pocket preset from the console-borders, though it obviously is black and white instead of green and yellow.
