Ooooh Weeee... you're going to have one hell of an experience.
Unfortunately for myself, I finished that game when it first came out.... but didn't know how to read or understand Japanese.... but I felt the story deep inside. 😁

So do texture packs work on Duckstation and/or Retroarch? I can't seem to find a concrete answer.
I also can't seem to find any resources that collect PSX texture packs. This is the only thing I found:
If more of this stuff exists, I'd certainly want to know about it.
Not even talking about Xbox but Duckstation is such a great emulator. Nice to have a UI that's nice and simple to use.
Has anyone gotten save states to work? I can't seem to get them working, whether closing the game or saving manually.
Also, is there a way to rebind buttons to the right analog stick? I was looking to map L1 and R1 to the right analog stick for games like Mega Man Legends, which use the shoulder buttons to control the camera. I'm not seeing a way to do that.
I'm also not seeing a way to set a hotkey toggle along with hotkey combos (like if I wanted to use Select+R2 to fast forward, Select+L1 to rewind, etc).

I still have problems with a high input lag on my series S, but the rest is working as intended.
2 questions:
1. In Silent Hill I need to use the Select button to enter the inventory but Duckstation has the back (Select) button set to opening the Duckstation menu. What is the work around?
2. Has anyone figured out general optimized setting for Duckstation? I know some stuff is per person but I am looking for a general good starting point.

You can change hotkey for menu (settings > hotkey settings > Open Quick Menu Button) I use L3 button instead since it's not being used in games.

They do on Retroarch, for ps1, with the Beetle HW core. At it seems Duckstation does allow them too.
I think that was it! Thanks, metal gear feels so much better.

It's tricky!
I got a new TV recently and I forgot about gamemode. I was thinking my controllers were messed. Turned on game mode and all good.
In the normal console
Mode, the console automatically activates the game mode. So I thought it would happen here as well. I'm glad that it's so easy.
Series S continues to be a sweet deal. While I'd hesitate to go for PS1 games, PS2 is pure bliss. King's Field 4 with the ability to modernize controls is just great. Forgot how sprawling that game can be, and it still has superior atmosphere for days.
Sony and Nintendo sitting on a massive gold mine they won't even touch, while MS consoles are running every system pre-Wii.
Kinda OT, but I honestly believe we will see Switch emulation on this gen consoles (whether it's a mid gen refresh remains to be seen).
I legit play most of my Switch games on PC now through emulation as the games just deserve better hardware than the Switch. I just dump the cart from my console, move to PC and away I go. Most games I buy get a quick playthrough on Switch and a second more slow/deliberate playthrough on PC, highly recommend!

It is a bit buggy though in comparison to Beetle. I still like Duckstation a lot.

Is there a dummies guide to get this all set up? I'd love to try this on my retail Series X, but I feel like I don't know where to start.
Join that discord, look for the channel "retail start here", pretty short guide tells you how to get whitelisted and then what to do after, just be sure to read all of it. They whitelist when they get a chance, just be patient.
Also, when you load up the website on your Xbox, everything has a guide as well. The only thing you need to know with duckstation is that you need to add a bios.
It is safe to do on the series x right ? Like it won't affect performance in other games or over heat my Xbox ?
This discord, correct?

And this should work for RetroArch and Duckstation?
That link is taken directly from Gamr13's github page so yea should be good. Works fine for me
Yep. After you're whitelisted you'll load up that github website linked in the channel, you'll have access to Duckstation, Retroarch, a PSP emulator, Kodi, an FTP program, and randomly Metroid 2 Remake, lol.
We turn to Sony for a comment:
"why the hell would anyone want to play a PS1 game?"
Anyone have problems with Retroarch not recognizing games on an emulator despite having worked with said emulator previously?
This is like a daily problem for me, and sometimes it happens within the same day and I cant understand why. NES, Genesis, SNES, doesnt seem to matter; I keep running into this issue even after deleting/redownloading Retroarch.

There is a link to the GitHub page right at the top of the form you filled out earlier.
And just to clarify, i don't need developer access or anything special, i can just use my retail system and standard account?

Nope, works in regular retail mode, I have never even used dev-mode even on my consoles.

It's ridiculously easy to set it up, got it running tonight. The one thing I didn't do is set up the FTP, so I'm running the few psx games I have on a flashdrive and it works beautifully.
I found my Tekken 2 CD and I ripped it. I hand't played that in 20 years... it was a very emotional moment for me, lol.

I got SH2 up and running... But I don't seem to have access to the menu once I'm in-game (press paus for 2 seconds). So it's running on essentially the regular PS2 settings.You gotta google for 60fps pnach codes (and how to name them) for Silent Hill 2/3 and insert them manually in a cheat folder (LocalState > system > pcsx2 > Cheats).
But yeah they work, I was just playing Silent Hill 2 in 4K/60fps/16:9.
Does it work like DuckStation via RetroArch? (You turn up the internal resolution up to 4K) - Or do you do that via pnach files as well?
Would appreciate a link, if you (or anyone else) have one! 😊
I didn't think it was going to be as easy as it was, but I was able to play Ridge Racer Type 4 in all of 5 minutes of set up. Absolutely bonkers.
Been using this for a few days and really like it. Also used RetroArch now it's so easy (retail mode) and its also very good. I have a question though:
Can I store unlimited ROMs on the official Seagate 1TB expansion drive, or will I still be limited to 16GB?

Is it possible to have different configuration profiles for each game? I haven't been able to find that option, so it's a bit of a pain having to change the different settings with each game?
Also, I'm assuming I shouldn't be using the widescreen hack for games with pre-rendered backgrounds? I tried it on Chrono Cross and it broke a few things (like the text popping out the dialogue boxes or the characters running through invisible floors).

You can set up per game configs through Retroarch and with Duckstation. I don't know how to do per game configs with Duckstation's fancy UI, however. On Windows, you need to use the regular desktop UI and right click on each game to set up a profile, and Retroarch you can save a game config via the quick menu while the game is running.
The CPU on last gen consoles is 💩so it will be nowhere near as good.
Does using emulators on a XsX risk you being banned or any weird shit? Any cumbersome config or boot from usb and good to go?
No risk of being banned. Config takes a little time but it's straightforward if you follow the guide. RetroArch just opens like any other game/app from your Xbox UI.

I've actually been super impressed with the performance. I also only have a X1X, and I still only game on a 1080p, so my situation is same as you. I set to 5x resolution (1080p) and I don't do any geometry correction, so it's basically just original image upscaled. But it looks so good, and performance in my limited testing has been rock solid. For example, I played a race of Wipeout XL and framerate didn't dip, at least not anything I noticed (I didn't have the fps hud turned on). I wanted to specifically try a fast-paced racing game to test the framerate, and it passed in this case.
