There haven't been any important changes within months beside aarch64 stuff & an improved gaussian audio filter.

If you re-run the game does it slow down at the same spots everytime? If not I suspect your device is thermal throtteling Which games do you run? I've tested PCSX reARMed with Gran Turismo 2 with enhanced resolution and it ran fine for me.

Otherwise delete retroarch.cfg & retroarch-core-options.cfg to get rid of old configurations.

Thanks again for getting back to me. I rolled back to the RC5 or RC4 build and it works flawlessly on all games (I tested with Metal Gear Solid). Once I update to the latest RC and official builds, the music begins to stutter right away at the "Konami" intro screen and the rest of it is choppy and slow. All I did was drop the .tar file in the .update folder and reboot. Not sure why this would cause anything to change on my config files. I'll do some more testing on my end once I find the time. Rolling back seems to allow me to enjoy my games anyway.

I've noticed in the last 2 build that PSX performance has declined on S905. It used to be amazingly smooth and now the sound and graphics stutter and can be super slow at times. Can anyone elaborate on settings that have changed or what may be causing this? Thank you.

How did you modify the es_systems.cfg file?

I see on RR it is started by a script file so if you just addedd the argument in es_systems.cfg it is not going to work.

OK lets try this way:

You would actually need to create a new script for your es_systems.cfg to call

1. Make a new file in /storage call it pspps3.sh or whaever you want. Make sure you give it +x permissions
2. Copy everything from this script ppsspp.start to the one you created
3. Change line 16 from /usr/share/PPSSPP/PPSSPPSDL "$@"> /var/log/PPSSPP.log 2>&1 to /usr/share/PPSSPP/PPSSPPSDL --PS3 "$@"> /var/log/PPSSPP.log 2>&1
4. Change es_systems.cfg from <command>/usr/bin/PPSSPP.start %ROM%</command> to <command>/storage/pspps3.sh %ROM%</command>
5. Restart ES and try to see if it works

Thanks again for you help niabi. I added the --PS3 to <command>/usr/bin/PPSSPP.start %ROM%</command> between PPSSPP.start & %ROM% as suggested by 5schatten. I'll try changing the ppsspp.start script next.

niabi, Thank you for the clarification. It's been quite a day for me and I'm wasn't all there when I read the Github link you sent. I'll try checking the es_systems.cfg file and add the --PS3 command for testing.

niabi, I just tested it and there isn't any difference at all. Autodetection and with the --PS3 command only works when the controller is wired. It reverts to the weird configuration once on wireless.

Did you start PPSSPP with the --PS3 command line option?

Not sure how RR runs PPSSP but you might need to modify the es_systems.cfg file if you are using Emulationstation

Have you checked this PR on github? it mentions running PPSSPP with the --PS3 argument

Adds --PS3 comand line option for PS3 controller support on SDL. by klyoungblood · Pull Request #8949 · hrydgard/ppsspp · GitHub

Really odd. Github mentions PPSSPP being revised to support the controllers but I still have the same problem. It doesn't seem like there's any way to map the buttons correctly without screwing up the keyboard mapping also.

I was wondering if anyone attempted to map their controllers in PPSSPP. I've been trying to map them multiple times without success. The controls work fine during gameplay but I'm not able to navigate the menus any longer to exit PPSSPP. A description to my problem is actually shown in this PPSSPP forum:

Control Mapping for dualshock 3 (RetroPie)

I understand it's likely a PPSSPP issue but I'm curious if anyone can help me understand how to SDLJoystick.h before compiling. Thank you.

I've been trying to test Dreamcast on my S905 box. It crashes every time. Here's the log. Thank you!

UPDATE: Never mind! I Copied the wrong bios files.

Quote from 5schatten

Just a wild guess since Picodrive is not included in my build. You've downloaded libretro cores from the libretro buildbot which were built for and by a different build system, screwed up your system and did not thought it's worth to mention it? Delete the cores in \\your-device\Configfiles\retroarch\cores reboot your system and maybe stop downloading cores if you're not sure if they have been tested for your system.

I'm pretty sure you did this because I spent quite some time to debug a non-existent problem until I remembered you've mentioned this....

Thanks again for all your help. I actually figured it out before seeing your post. I did some research and then remembered using the online core updater in Retroarch. I basically did a fresh install and copied everything else back to the new installation.

Well there is a guide how to provide logs right above the download links...

Thanks again 5schatten. I should have looked closer. Here's my log for one of the games I have. Here's the log for Sonic. What's causing the Bus Error? How do I fix it? Thank you.

Picodrive is not included in my builds. You've bios files for each system? Sega - MS/GG/MD/CD (Genesis Plus GX) - Libretro Docs

Logfiles. Sonic is tested & works on my Vim (S905X) hastebin

How do I create the Retroarch log you attached? My bios files are correct for each system. MD's TMMS startup rom is optional. Sonic and other games still crash. Please advise. I might be able to find something if I can log. Thanks again

Which games do you play and what emulator do you use?

Use this core for Sega stuff GitHub - libretro/Genesis-Plus-GX: An enhanced port of Genesis Plus - accurate & portable Sega 8/16 bit emulator | GitHub - libretro/beetle-saturn-libretro: Standalone port of Mednafen Saturn to the libretro API. for Sega Saturn and finally GitHub - libretro/reicast-emulator: Reicast is a multiplatform Sega Dreamcast emulator for Sega Dreamcast

I'm running with genesis plus gx and it will quit part way. Picodrive doesn't work at all. All games behave pretty much the same way. They will suddenly crash and exit. Just for an example Sonic the Hedgehog 1, 2, 3 for MD/Genesis. They all will stop part-way.

The system which I have set in es_systems.cfg to run genesis_plus_gx_libretro.so are Mastersystem (works no problem), megadrive, segacd, and sega32x. All games emulated by this crash.

The command I'm using for all of them are:

<command>/usr/bin/retroarch.start -L /tmp/cores/genesis_plus_gx_libretro.so %ROM%</command>

When I run them manual with the core in Retroarch, the same thing happens. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Which core are you running under, I have tried under FBA but unable to get it work at all

I'm running with genesis plus gx and it will quit part way. Picodrive doesn't work at all.

Does anyone have an issue on S905 where Sega CD, 32x, and Megadrive games crash at random spots? My setup usually crashes after the intro, after the menu, or the first few seconds of game play. Please advise on what I can log or do to fix this. Thank you.

From my past experience I can only say that I had mediocre ones with genuie PS3 ones. The SHANWAN stuff should work if you follow these steps but I can't say if they will be able to connect to bt as a group.

As I said this is most likely a kernel related problem and should be solved by upstream code. I reached out to some LE devs if they have any suggestions. Anyway I would create a new ticket Ticketsystem - LibreELEC Forum & a dedicated thread in the support forum General Support because it's LE9 related and not limited to this build.

5schatten, Thank you for your response. I've forgotten to mention I am using the S905 build and do not have the option to try the Retropie instructions.

Thank you for creating the ticket. I really hope something will work out.

Thank you very much for such a great build. I have some clone Chinese PS3 controllers that won't connect by bluetooth. After trying over and over, one of them might connect but it is impossible to connect 2 of them like genuine Sony controllers (I also have a couple from my old PS3 but am using them on another box). The only information I can seem to find on other systems is Retropie, OpenEMU, and a couple more:

SHANWAN / PS3 CONTROLLER Pi3 RETROPIE 3.6 BLUETOOTH SETUP - RetroPie Forum

Chinese knockoff dualshock 3 no wireless recognition over bluetooth · Issue #1041 · OpenEmu/OpenEmu · GitHub

Add shanwan PS3 Clone controllers support · Issue #28 · neilmunday/pes · GitHub

LE8 "Remix" (Generic/RPi) Emulationstation/Chrome/Spotify (read the first post before posting)

When wired they work fine. would you have any ideas on how to get them working on bluetooth?

The controller shows as SHANWAN_PS3_GamePad when plugged to USB. When on bluetooth they sometimes shows as a normal Playstation(R)3 Controller and other times shows as PLAYSTATION(R)3Conteroller-PANHAI.

Any help would be much appreciated!
