Release DuckStation

ptitSeb · Jan 8, 2022

Here is DuckStation, a PSX (PS1) Emulator

The Emulator needs BIOS to run. Copy them is "appdata/duckstation/.local/share/duckstation/bios" after 1st launch, or use the setup to point to the folder. While in the settings, also setup you folder for Disc images. After that, most other config should be good to go for the Pyra.
Note that, for now, only the Software renderer is availble. Hardware rendere use GL 3.0+ (with Integer VA and UBO, so, quite some work is needed in gl47es before it could be supported).

The controls should be plug'n play. A Analog Pad is emulated, including the Rumble

!

Also, for your future SDL2 port: here is pyra configuration to have the gamepad found

Code:

03000000010000000100000001000000,pyraInput Gamepad,a:b3,b:b1,x:b0,y:b4,back:b10,start:b11,leftshoulder:b8,rightshoulder:b9,dpup:h0.1,dpdown:h0.4,dpleft:h0.8,dpright:h0.2,leftx:a0,lefty:a1,rightx:a2,righty:a3,lefttrigger:b6,righttrigger:b7,platform:Linux,

Use "Space" to validate stuff while in menu.
And to get the menu while in game, use "F1" key.
(it sometimes fail to get fullscreen. In thta case, just quit and relaunch).

History Log

Also, for the currious, attached is the diff of this build compared to current git sources

It’s awesome, but unfortunately I got a black screen

ptitSeb · Jan 8, 2022

Mmmm, maybe I forgot "gl4es" (gl4es is fully integrated on my system and I don't need the wrapper, so I tend to forgot).

Post automatically merged: Jan 8, 2022

Now build on the repo, a qui-repacke to use gl4es and hopefully fixing the blackscreen on start.

Build 02

matzesu · Jan 8, 2022

But I also allready installed GL4ES a while ago on my Pyra, you know, I also tested fu billiard and it’s dit run (Slow but steady)
What is the difference between your Pyra and our Pyra?

Yes, but my installation is different. gl4es replace mesa libs on my pyra and I don't need to use "gl4es" to use it.

Grab the updated version, it should be fixed

Also, I added the diff of this build on the 1st post.

matzesu · Jan 8, 2022

Awesome: not only do whe now have full analogue Stick Support, Street Fighter Alpha 3 Continued to work which ditnt work whit pcsxrearmed on the Pyra, but on the Pandora, and I can finally play Formula 1 2000 , which ditnt run on PCSXREARMED on Pyra and Pandora ^^

Maybe expect tomorrow a new Video? ^^

EDIT: are Memory Cards and Savestate from PCSXREARMED supported?

I have no idea!

matzesu · Jan 8, 2022

Ok testet it: they aren’t compatible: at least the Memory Cards should work when you change the settings from “one card per game to share one for different games” but I didn’t test yet
The Savestate are different file types ..

And I found out the Game List don’t put any of your games on it’s list, but you can go manually to the directory and run them from there, if the game file is a different type..
but it’s a bit work as you have to go the whole path when you use this way: /media/matzesu/pyra2/pyra roms/PlayStation X but it’s the fault of the emulator ui, nothing you can or should have to, as it’s up to the user who have its image in a non standard ending

levi · Jan 8, 2022

Are you game directories not configurable in the settings? I have no experience of running this but looking at the screenshot above I suspect it might, and that might fix your game list.

matzesu · Jan 8, 2022

There are, and I allready put the PlayStation Directory right, but some games like Afterburner and the Final Fantasy Games ditnt got to the Game List..

asimov-solensan · Jan 9, 2022

Never heard about this emulator. PSX emulation is among the main things I wanted in Pyra, thanks a lot.

asimov-solensan · Jan 9, 2022

It is crashing for me. No blank screen or anything. It just stays in the desktop.

Maybe there are some active filters like the Region or PAL/NTSC ?

Another guess could be that because every PSX game is identified by a unique code, the emulator may show only the games that are certified to run ?
Or maybe it has a DB that doesn't contain the specific versions of your games ?

This site should list the IDs of all the available games (the link is for PAL, but at the top of the page there are also NTSC lists):

PlayStation DataCenter - PAL List

matzesu · Jan 9, 2022

Anyway, I’m happy that it’s work, it’s just a few steps more for the other games..
but it’s would be much better if the emulator would save the last directory..

gl4es is from 1 of August 2021. That seems a bit old to me. Is your system up-to-date?

I fear not. I opened another thread in support because GPG signature fails for pyra repositories, I guess that's causing the problem.

asimov-solensan · Jan 10, 2022

Got it working. Just did a 5 minute test and noticed that it does not list .bin images.

Besides that detail, the emulator has a lot of nice features. If ptitSeb improves gl4es to the point it makes the hardware renderer possible, this emulator will be amazing.

I have .bin, but with the .cue that goes with it and they were listed.

matzesu · Jan 10, 2022

And don’t forget that the Audio Issue also eats a lot of power at the moment, so whit GLES and Audio over its Hardware Chip it should run much better ..
Images that aren’t listet can be played over (Start Image) , but needs some more steps as you have to go the whole path from the Apdata of the Emulator, to your Rom Directory..

levi · Jan 10, 2022

Looking at matzesu's video, most of his games seemed to have bin and cue but there were some that weren't listed in the game listing. The ones he gavigated to using the start game filer seemed to have both though, so I'm not sure why he had to do that.

I also noticed that despite putting analogue mode on, his steering in the F1 game seemed rather digital. Perhaps that's just his playing style however.
