Norkusa Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Long story short - I reinstalled Retroarch because the core updater was not working. My Hyperspin settings stayed intact after the re-install, so all I had to do was fix the bios path to get most of my installed emulators working in HS again. Almost all emulators worked after that except the Sega ones. Took a closer look at them and they were all using the Picodrive core. Thought it might be an issue with the core, so I changed my settings.ini from: parameters=cores/picodrive_libretro_android.so to parameters=cores/genesis_plus_gx_libretro_android.so All of the Sega emulators worked fine after that. I still need Picodrive to play 32X games though. Picodrive core is installed and I updated it via the core updater. Any ideas on whats wrong and how I can fix it? Using ShieldTV Pro with internal 500GB hard drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reznnate Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 It's possible the picodrive emulator core is broken on Android. I see they've added 64b ARMv8 builds (yay!). If you cannot run games directly using the core/retroarch, then file a bug on github letting them know something in picodrive 'broke'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanchezmike01 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Sega pick has never worked for me...game always loads but controller won't respond ...dont know if it's a roms issue or core because everything else that uses that core works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norkusa Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 Thanks for the help! I just tried loading the PicoDrive core in Retroarch as suggested but it wouldn't load for some reason. I selected it from the list and nothing happened...still says "1.6.0 - No Core" in the bottom left corner of the main menu. I can download/update it in the Core Updater though and all other cores load without issue. I can't figure it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reznnate Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 For all things retroarch, I suggest looking and posting on the retroarch forums first. I did see your issue mentioned here: https://forums.libretro.com/t/picodrive-doesnt-start-in-retroarch-1-6-0-on-android-tv-7/10652 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norkusa Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 Thank you agin for the help, Rez! I wasn't aware of the RA forums, so I didn't even think of checking there. Looks like its a problem with PicoDrive, so I guess I'll have to wait it out if I want to play 32X games again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
