[RESOLVED] Retroarch x PS1 x 4 Players


Alan Ribas

Recommended Posts

I am not able to connect all 4 joysticks to play "PlayStation 1" games that accept this amount of players. Like "Crash Bash" for example.
I did not find the option to activate multitap. I don't know if it's necessary. When I enter the joysticks configuration menu, only the 1st and 2nd players have the option to choose the "playStation Controller" option in the "device type" (only these two josyticks work) . The other joystick configuration menus (3rd, 4th and 5th) only appear in that part the option "Retropad".

In short. Is it possible or not to play games from 4 playstation 1 players in retroarch?

I'm using the core: Sony PlayStation (Beetle PSX HW)

I do not know the answer to your question, but I am curious if you are you attempting to do this in GameEx Evolution?

I will actually try to use the RetroArch together with Gameex. But not evolution. Why the question? Is it not possible?

Because it is posted in the Evolution support forums.  It's not a big deal, I just thought there for a minute you may have upgraded to EVO.

 

About 1 year ago I tried using gameex evolution. I don't remember now what the problem was with him that I faced. So I decided to continue with the classic gameex.

Have you asked this question in the Retroarch forums?

I found the answer: :banana:

Start the game.
Open RetroArch Quick Menu (F1 by default) and go to "Options".
Find "Port 1: Multitap Enable" and turn it ON.
Go to the very top of the same menu and click "Create Game Options file" to save that setting ONLY for that game (or else you'll have multitap enabled for every other games too).
Go back to Quick Menu and click "Close Content" (clicking "Restart" won't work, you have to completely close the core).
Start the game again and you should be able to play 4 players modes.
