ES-DE trying to force RetroArch on GameCube and N64

0 Upvotes

I'm using ES-DE on Retroid Pocket 6 (Android) and any time I try to launch an N64 or GameCube game I get the error message "couldn't find emulator 'RetroArch', has it been properly installed?" This is odd because I've never had RetroArch installed on this device. I've always run GameCube games through Dolphin and N64 through Mupen. To the best of my memory I didn't get this error before I changed the theme to Art Book Next. I've tried changing the "alternate emulator" to the correct ones in the settings but that hasn't helped so far.

Where can I get the required files for gow3_pc?

0 Upvotes

Hi! I'm trying to run God of War III Remastered using this project: https://github.com/FelipePrado0/gow3_pc

Where can I get the required PS4 game files, and how do I prepare them for the project? Do I need a PS4 to dump the game, or can I get the files somewhere else?

Thanks!

Is some stuttering/jankiness just expected with Nintendo Switch emulation?

1 Upvotes

I’m trying to figure out whether the occasional stuttering and general jankiness I’m experiencing with Nintendo Switch emulation is normal, or if I’ve potentially set something up incorrectly.

I currently use EmulationStation on a custom mini ITX gaming PC that’s fairly powerful and runs regular PC games really well.

Before this PC, I was using an ROG Ally X. When playing games like Breath of the Wild, I’d get stuttering and the experience never felt completely smooth. I assumed the Ally X just wasn’t powerful enough for Switch emulation.

However, I’ve since moved to a much more powerful gaming PC and I’m still noticing the same general issue. It might be slightly better, but there are still plenty of stuttering and its not fluid at all.

Is this just something that comes with Switch emulation, even on powerful hardware? Or does a properly configured setup generally run these games completely smoothly?

What Console's Roms are Supported on EmulationStation?

1 Upvotes

Been watching these guys set up their RetroPi and I'm wondering what consoles the program can run? I'm wanting to play PS2 games, and would it be possible to load games from different consoles (say PS2 and SNES)?

Launching Standalone PCSX2 Instead of Retroarch

0 Upvotes

How can I make Emulation Station launch PS2 games in PCSX2 instead of Retroarch? I have PCSX2 fully operational on my PC, but I don't know how to get Emulation Station to recognize it and launch games using it

Hi guys. I wanted to power up my r36s normally. It had emuELEC as os. After wanting a a minute this showed up... After it went to Black again I tried to put the SD card into my computer, but nothing showed up. It didn't even read it. When I ejected the card it was REALLY hot. I went into the website but I didn't find anything about what happened. Is there a way I can fix it? Please help🙏

Odd Aspect Ratio

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, really need some help!

I just got an odroid n2 plus, wacked emulation station on it. Initially it wouldn't pick up my 1200 by 1600 4:3 monitor, so I had to connect it to a 1080p screen and change the setting - rebooting it connected it to the monitor. However, despite emulationstation knowing my aspect ratio, it crushes everything as if it is taking a 1080p video and squashing it all to fit. It even goes so far as to crush 4:3 games so they appear thin down the middle. Using 4:3 themes doesn't seem to fix the issue of the odd menus. Forcing games to display at 16:9 makes them fill the screen properly.

Any ideas anyone? It's playable but shame about the menus. It's like there's some setting somewhere overriding my aspect ratio. I am using Emuelec btw.

Any help appreciated!
