@acris c'est quoi le cpu cyclone ?

[acris]

@voljega

r-type dit : A noter cependant qu'il existe une version spécifique pour ARM utilisant le cpu asm ARM cyclone (celui de picodrive.
https://github.com/chiorex/px68k/tree/speedup qui doit être plus rapide pour les cpu ARM.

J'ai testé mais je vois pas trop de différence peut etre qu'un oeil expert serait requis.
Je suis aussi passé en full frame et le fps est entre 55.7 et 57

Hello
https://www.libretro.com/index.php/new-core-px68k-androidioswindowslinuxmac/

[azvarel]

amazing this new core, really great news, I hope to see it as soon as possible in the recalbox, of course this core has a difficulty that is not having the virtual keyboard, but you can play with it a lot.

[acris]

@azvarel
What is the virtual keyboard used for?

[acris]

@azvarel
I see your question on IRC.

you need to create playlist file with name :

Akumajou Dracula (1993)(Konami).m3u

with inside 2 lines :

Akumajou Dracula (1993)(Konami)(Disk 1 of 2).dim
Akumajou Dracula (1993)(Konami)(Disk 2 of 2).dim

and you must hide theses 2 files :

Akumajou Dracula (1993)(Konami)(Disk 1 of 2).dim
Akumajou Dracula (1993)(Konami)(Disk 2 of 2).dim

select each file game , select button > edit metadata game > hidden > ON

And If you need to optimize this game may you need to go retroarch menu (hotkey+B) :

Quick Menu > Options >

CPU Speed : 16 Mhz 
Game-Options File  to create file 
reset game.

And with px68 Menu (L2) need to chose frame skip : 1/6

thanks @voljega

@acris huh ? i'm always happy to be thanked but why in that case ?

btw scanlines aren't used by the X68k emulator at least in 'Retro' config is it normal ?

Hello
What is the sequence to launch Genocide 2 ?

Solution

Genocide 2 (1991)(Zoom)(Disk 1 of 4)(System).dim
Genocide 2 (1991)(Zoom)(Disk 2 of 4)(Data 1).dim
Genocide 2 (1991)(Zoom)(Disk 3 of 4)(Data 2 ).dim
Genocide 2 (1991)(Zoom)(Disk 4 of 4)(Data 3).dim

renamed

Genocide 2 (1991)(Zoom)(Disk 1 of 4)(System).dim
Genocide 2 (1991)(Zoom)(Disk 2 of 4)(Data A).dim
Genocide 2 (1991)(Zoom)(Disk 3 of 4)(Data B).dim
Genocide 2 (1991)(Zoom)(Disk 4 of 4)(Data C).dim

FDD0 -> SYSTEM
FDD1 -> Data A-> game start
And remplace Data A To Data B

@azvarel

I think file hdf doesn't work on raspberry but I Think in recalbox x86_x64 may be
because hdf file contains autoexec.bat or command.x for windows computer.

@rtype
pourquoi le format hdf ne fonctionne pas sur raspberry ? est ce un bug ?

[azvarel]

@acris I believe it is more emulator bug, I have xbox classic emulator that works perfectly hdf files.
