lr-gpsp not working in Retropie 3.0 RC1?

[rigues]

Hi folks,

Are there any known issues with lr-gpsp on RetroPie 3.0 RC1? I can’t get any game to run, after selecting one I’m thrown back to Emulation Station in a few seconds.

There are no error messages on the screen or on /tmp/runcommand.log. I DO have a valid GBA BIOS called gba_bios.bin with the correct checksum for GPSP (a860e8c0b6d573d191e4ec7db1b1e4f6) on /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS. GPSP runs fine, with the same BIOS/ROMS. The BIOS file has the right owner (pi.pi) and permissions (rw-r–r–).

I’m running a Raspbery Pi 2 Model B, and recently did a full binary install of all the emulators. Other systems (tried Genesis, 32x, SNES, NXEngine) run fine.

Ideas? Any help is appreciated.

Regards,

same here: I’ve opened up a ticket on github:

does this happen to all games or just some? I’ve been testing it a bit and it seems that some games just have issues- one way to workaround it is to load up a game that is working and then in the rgui switch to the game that wasn’t loading. It worked for pokemon emerald for me.

Hi herbfargus,

No games work with lr-gpsp. Plain GPSP works fine. To clarify: RetroArch will not even load. No RGUI, nothing. After a few seconds I’m back to the EmulationStation GUI.

Its possible its a bad build? You could try reinstalling the emulator from the setup script to see if that makes any difference. Also if your ROMs are zipped that may also explain it- you may need to unzip them first.

Hi herbfargus,

I did a binary reinstall using the setup script, no luck. Tried zipped and unzipped roms, no difference. This ONLY occurs with lr_gpsp, other emulators/systems run fine.

That’s really odd. Have you tried lr-mgba? It was just moved out of the experimental menu- that’s the one that I use typically.
