[PC/ROG Ally] Retroarch PS1 Emulation Setup Guide - 2023 Edition

How do you change controller ports in Retroarch? For Psycho Mantis.

I could also play physical games using retroarch which could also balance space.

Hey @archade games first off I’d like to give a huge shoutout to your channel and all that you’ve helped me learn about emulation over the last several years! I watched your entire playlist on Xbox series S emulation as it came out and loved it. I’ve decided to step my game up though and finally purchased a pc, and am using my day off to try to get some emulation going on retroarch. However I have already run into problems with the PlayStation 1, I did everything in your video and every time I attempt to run a game it is still giving me an error missing scph5501.bin. Not sure what to do next I have ensured the 3 necessary bios form your video are the ones I have and they are within the systems folder of retroarch and my games are in .cue format. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

How in oblivion do i set an specific memory card? I've trying to load my EPSXE 1 memory card with a YGO Forbidden save file but Retroarch simply does not load any memory card lol

Seriously helpful video!
I do have 1 question though, if you wouldn't mind helping me out.
Converting the Bin/Cue files to CHD. Which files are then save to delete? Just the Bin file? Or both the Bin and Cue files?
I'm really new to all of this. So I would appreciate the help a lot! Thank you so much for this setup video!

Wow turning off supersampling was what made it look great! I don't know if any of you guys struggled to get to look just like the video, but for me this was the key. Dino Crisis was looking awful before turning it off

The thing I was missing was converting the bin/cue to chd format. Thanks!

hye guys! where super INTRO PS1 on starting game?

This video sux

Speaking of steam version. Is there a way to use RA on steam I mean replacing steam version with standalone version so I keep the online updater but at the same time keeping the "show status" for friends option? Cuz it's an amazing function I kinda miss but I think the online updater is more important. Can I have both at the same time (on steam)?

Thank you very much! Especially the settings for the warping textures I didn't know, that improved the graphics massively (WipEout 2097)

Thanks dude ! You sir are awesome !

What if things lag a lot?

Is there a way to change to CHD on a mac?

The core Work Not more ☹️ with Update 1.15

How do I put my own PS1 Memory card onto it?

I did all the configs right here (without vulkan cause my pc sucks) and my games are running... Crispy. What can it be?

Perfect. I got a problem though, the ps1 Bios starts up but wont load the game so im stuck in the ps1 menu. How do i fix this?

You're awesome! <3

Why dont you use Swanstation?

Hey, I can't get the Beetle PSXc HW Core to work with my RetroArch. Like, it won't even give me the option to choose the core after I try to launch up game (yes, I downloaded it, and I have the bios files installed). Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Good stuff. Got Crash Bandicoot 3 to work flawlessly. Best part about this method is seeing the full PS1 startup every time. Music to my ears. 🎶
I was finally able to see the difference between PAL and NTSC. Huge performance boost and how horrible that people had to go through that not knowing what they were missing.
Thank You !

I created m3u files. But there are big problems with it.... I have a saved game from Final Fantasy IX, CD 3 and can't load the game. I managed to load the save point, but it won't load the game from the memory card

Do I have to scavenge for the bios files or are they included in the core? And what file format do the Ps1 games have to be in?

hey sorry to ask, but which one you think its better for ps1 emulation? retroarch or a standalone emulator?

Why is my retroarch different to everyone elses i can get what every on else gets iv been battling for a long time now

Whenever I try to run PS1 game no matter what bios I have it says can’t lid content

Hey, thank you so much for the guide!

How can I convince you to become a hooligan that posts illegal download links? Scotch? An Amazon Gift Card? The contact info for the best international trade/tort lawyer I know?

Whatever it is, what’s really criminal is just how bad PlayStation Plus sucks! Keeping games like XenoGears and Legend of the Dragoons out of reach for fans is the real travesty here; how dare they!

where is retroarch installed? Its not visible

Oh wow, didn't even know you could compress PSX Games to save space! Hope it doesn't break the performance like some of the compressed GC/Wii Iso's I had a while ago. Great Video and great playlist!

how can i import the files

how do I get the core you're using? I'm unable to find them.

Thx for good video

PS1 it is!
