Pcsx_ReARMed on Pi2

[welshy]

Having issues with a re compiled Pcsx_ReARMed (stand alone Binary NOT the RetroArch Core). Although the performance in XWindows is awsome (fulscreen/fullspeed) it doesn't seem to run in Console (just a blank screen). Does anyone have any ideas what the issue is?

[stingray101]

Having the same problem myself.

I cant run it in bash as it just freezes at a black screen. In X it brings up this error

and then crashes.

Ive figured out this much the problem my psxmap having is a memory issue cannot find it. I can get pre-compiled binarys working in X. Not in console though. Not that its not running I can hear the sounds of the roms but its just a black screen.

Ok I was able to fix the black screen issue and the crashing on execution with pcsx_rearmed. Its running fine on my rpi 2.

So I went into i pcxmem.c in libpcsxcore folder and change a line in the function psxMemInit()

Code: Select all

 int psxMemInit() {
	int i;

	psxMemRLUT = (u8 **)malloc(0x10000 * sizeof(void *));
	psxMemWLUT = (u8 **)malloc(0x10000 * sizeof(void *));
	memset(psxMemRLUT, 0, 0x10000 * sizeof(void *));
	memset(psxMemWLUT, 0, 0x10000 * sizeof(void *));

	psxM = psxMap(^HERE^-->0x70000000<---^HERE^, 0x00210000, 1, MAP_TAG_RAM);

from "x80000000" to "x70000000" then made the program again and it works.. in terminal and x. Seems to be running fine too.

I havent the fainest clue why it worked. My guess it was'nt finding what I assume was a ram address on my Pi or something who knows. Guesswork. Hope this helps.

Thanks! I will give it a go when time allows!

I went ahead and opened a bug report:
https://github.com/notaz/pcsx_rearmed/issues/42

So hopefully notaz will be able to fix the issue upstream.

notaz says it should be fixed with the latest commit
