It's just too frustrating and filled with far too many gotchas to make it an enjoyable experience no matter how shiny or glossy the front ends are. I'm also not sure there is value to emulation anymore either. To make a long story short, emulation doesn't really have a place in my life anymore. I was lucky I played the game before when I was a kid, so i know I could pass that section, but most other people would probably just give up on that game forever. In the end, I got it working by changing the mode on the controller from DInput to Xinput (I think), and finally it worked on the Pi, but damn, what an ordeal. Downgraded again to 1.9.0, and so I just gave up on Mac. so Pi uses RetroArch backend so i decided to try retroarch for Mac. I was playing with 8bitdo SN30 Pro the whole time, and I passed it first try. So then I tested the game on another emulator on my Mac. going into options and tweaking things, changing controller polling, restarting retroarch, restarting the pi and more.

This is the third level, and the other two previous levels were timing based so I was really confused about what the issue was. I tried hitting it as fast as possible, at a slow steady pace etc. I tried 3 times and no matter what I did, it wouldn't fill up. The goal is to mash the X button to fill up the blue bar to stop the elevator from falling. This is the game in case you're interested.Į (14.8 KiB) Viewed 6232 times I was playing the game Incredible Crisis on PS1 through RetroPie on Raspberry Pi 4. the games themselves are essentially unplayable and anyone playing games through emulation doesn't value their time. Being able to 2x or 10x the resolution of games from the PS1 gen is amazing, but seriously. However, with emulation of old console games they generally don't have graphics options so tweaking things has more potential to break things.Īnyway, it's not really about the graphics options. That statement sounds like it might be relevant to PC gaming in general compared to console gaming, and you may have a point, but with PC, you generally tweak within a spec and the games are designed to be tweaked from the outset, with many options.

There is far too much tinkering and tweaking to get things looking just right and suiting the capabilities of your hardware. Basically, it's because you never know what you're going to get.
