I had a veru similar controller for pc.

It was, not useful. think I used it a total of 3 times to try it out on different games. No go.

I checked in pandora and just inside pcsx_rearmed folder (in appdata) is another folder called bios with file scph1001.bin.

I guess it will be the same on pyra.

this brought me to the idea of just creating a bios folder in my appdata from the Emulator, but unfortunaly its ditnt work ;(
Well, whit the HLE everything works but Death or Alive (where i also have a newer version on 3DS, and Street Fighter 2 (also on 3DS) ..)
Its not that awefull

Why does it have a seam in the middle?

Because you steer it by twisting it. Kind of cool, but I always thought it to be fairly impractical. Good to hear some of you got some use of of them

 

[matzesu]

I don’t have this Controller, but I assume it’s for steering in racinggames..
i only have the PlayStation 2 which also plays PlayStation 1 Games, but my DualShock 2 is now quite sticky on the nubs

Why does it have a seam in the middle?

yes it has analog steering by twisting. the two red buttons were also analog for brakes and acceleration... takes a bit of getting used to but after many hundreds of hours on GT2 i got the hang of it. i liken the twist action to turning handelbars on a bike....

Fun Fact: at first I didn’t wanted PlayStation on the Pandora because I thought they will use to much space on my SD Cards, but whit the time it was one of my favorite Emulator, there a a lot of cool Games on this System..

this is why i am interested in a compressed filesystem eg zfs.

ps1 totally wowed me when i first started playing it on retropi. especially one game...

I wonder, where to put the bios file? ,

i'm sure you've figured it out by now, but what i would do is run psxe (or whatever the binary is called) with strace, which prints all the system calls, like i/o stuff. you can then grep for "open" to see which files it is trying to open. maybe "stat" too which could be used to test for the existence of a file.

eg: strace ./psxe 2>&1 | egrep 'open|stat'

actually if you know the filename but not the path, it's even easier:

strace ./psxe 2>&1 | grep -i scph1001.bin

pyra ist geil

I don't know how well a PS1 rip will compress. I could never get my Gamecube rips to compress more than about 2% using the latest and greatest. I got far better ratios when I actually decrypted the iso by firing it through wbfs. I've not actually tried compressing those yet as far as I remember. I'd guess PS1 discs are less likely to be encrypted though, since they're markedly earlier.

i use squashfs on my raspberry pi and i save about a third. doesn't seem like much, but i think of it as 50% more games. it could well be that some games compress and some don't at all. more games = more happiness.

and i did spend some time experimenting with speed / size tradeoffs, and found lzo compression with a block size of 262144 to be a good balance. you could do better if you sacrifice speed. not sure at which point you'll start noticing lag but if it's just while the game is loading that might be acceptable.

i have to say i absolute love zfs. cool cool features and it's the easiest filesystem to administer i have ever witnessed. it should pyra's default root fs.

Im quite fascinated that you over read my therm „in the beginning of the Pandora „
My PlayStation Folder is quite big now, and I don’t care as I still have about 40 gb left on I my 128 gb Rom SD Card, and if everything gets to worse, I could just copy it over to the 400 gb Pyra Data, and Packages SD Card in the second slot..

 

[netcat]

that's too easy

 

[matzesu]

At least, the Pyra Software dont need to load up "4k Patches" like on the XBOX ONEX, 100 gb for GTA5, so instead of : Buy the Game, unbox, put in in your XBOX and enjoy, it was "Buy the Game, unbox, put in in your XBOX and then wait several hours"..

Well, you could argue that's because the most you can get out of the system is 1080p video.

 

[adhrain]

I just tried this emulator and I can say thet it works great! Colin McRae, Bandicoot on my pyra! Thanks to the developer!

1080p video on my Pyra runs slowly and gets out of sync with the audio immediately.

With what player/codecs ?
