When using the "PCSX-ReARMed standalone" do i need to enable enhanced resolution or is it activated by default?(i can't find the setting since its not the retroarch core)
This already helped me a lot. But may I have a quick tip on how I get the games to run full screen in retro arc? I just have a small screen when I start the games.
When I try to change something the whole screen is glitching or it just crashes back to the games menu
On the mini + btw
Solve the problem of freezing the Parasite Eve II on the Miyoo Mini device
Do i have to start all games from scratch? Or is there a way to get my saves to rearm?
this is incredible man
You know why, Im playing “The legend of dragoon” and when I use one object the game block like I cant do anything more than power off..
Thanks for this.
I have Retroarch overclocked to 1800 on my MM+, which presumably means the default cores will run that much better, but what do you recommend for running GBA games. GBA and PS seem to have the largest game libraries, with others being more niche.
It's werid when I tested Metal Gear Solid, at the first level i went into the water and my screen goes black?…but the UI, and sound etc is stiill there, however when i move snake out of the water it goes back to normal?
Cant the cpuclock txt be just dropped into the RetroArch Main Folder? Thats what Ive seen everywhere else.
Do most n64 games run and play on mini plus?
Anyone know how to make hidden folders viewable on the miyoo mini plus? I installed the pcsx rearmed standalone version but when i go to load cd image i cant see the hidden folders.
PS1 games were never 60fps, pal was 25 and ntsc was 30
mmh I dont have GPU Plugin on my Miyoo Mini Plus.. dont know why
I would be interested to know how this affects battery life
Is the performance in DS games also better?
Great video! Very helpful. Thanks
Thanks good guide
spyro cooks my miniplus and drains the battery
Nice one man, glad you did a video about this
.
Hey do you know if it's possible to save the game config for each game in the standalone pcsx, every time I save the settings for a game it creates a .cfg file for it, but it won't load that config when you restart the game. Only "Save global config" seems to work.
Great content! Thank you!
Thank you. Great
