[@FinalFrantasy]

Thank you, it was the fonts that was giving me an issue I forgot to download the core system files

[@mr.peguin9376]

So if it looks like it crashed how long would it take to decompress the game file

[@esencix]

I cant find the playstation core, its missing. where to download it, and why is it missing ?

[@omg-the-best-crazy]

Nice! How well compared to standalone? Do you recommend using with retroarch?

[@HowtoRetro]

Personally I prefer using standalone emulators if I am seeking Best performance or more configuration options, but this is still fantastic within RetroArch, especially if you prefer all of your emulators in a single place

[@omg-the-best-crazy]

@@HowtoRetro Yes I can sacrifice a small % of performance and some customization to have all emus in one place. Thanks for your input

Bro I don’t know but my game run on fast forward in ppsspp RetroArch which is bad as hell my device is iPhone 13

[@dominickmolyneaux5713]

Did you ever fix it?

[@samuraix2328]

Same here I try to play on the PPSSPP app for iOS and idk for the game I be playing it runs fine but sometimes it delays when I play with controller idk why but in RetroArch it plays smooth but I have the same issue the fast forward it’s automatic idk why did you ever find out how to put it back to normal

[@Premium_Jelly]

Haven’t used the PPSSPP app yet, but for retroarch there should be an option in the core settings under video to “duplicate frames in 30hz games”. Same thing was happening when I tried to play Monster Hunter and that instantly fixed it. If there’s a similar setting in the standalone app, that should work too. Happy gaming fellas

[@Vipernewb]

@dominickmolyneaux5713 yup just up scale your graphics and resolution to the highest or mid I tired it on gta vice city stories and it worked

[@idontfuckinknowdude]

This is great for my Switch! The standalone version of PPSSPP for the Switch doesn't have individual game homebrew forwarding support but Retroarch does! What's a little bit of performance gone in the name of convenience?

[@johnmichaelc216]

what is the NAME of the game in the beginning of the video sir?

[@HowtoRetro]

That is the excellent Ultimate Ghosts n Goblins!

[@nitrothunder224]

I didn't even know that was a thing! Added to my games list, my good sir! @@HowtoRetro

[@alexgranados8719]

0:11 Which game is it?

[@yoska_1102]

Ultimate Ghosts and Goblins. I warn you: the series is known for being really hard.

[@harvzgames9622]

When I try to go full screen it crashes any fix for that

[@mhnoni]

Same, workaround for me is to set the retro full screen then load the game.
