If it's the shaders, then you could be running out of VRAM for your GPU, rather than raw power. You could try measuring VRAM usage with 3rd party tools when at 4x with shader, 4x without shader, 8x without shader and see the usage difference. I think the higher the internal resolution, the bigger the shader load as well. Plus, the shader scale, amount of passes and settings affect this too.

Thanks! Settings > Input > Hotkeys > Menu Toggle It should have a gamepad value and F1. Quick Menu will not appear if no content is launched. The behavior is the same on 1.17 (current latest Steam version).

@@DfactorLongplays Bless you good sir! Thank you so much. Subscribed, upvoted and notifications. You rock!🥰🥰🥰🤩

Yes, most of them can be found in standalone DuckStation, but a few, like GTE Overclock are not present.

Yeah, using any form of widescreen means that 2D/Sprite-based content will be stretched. That's something the user will have to deal with, alternatively, texture override could potentially solve this, but each individual game would require a custom mod. That's why my PS1 TR walkthroughs are still in 4:3.

May depend on the game! Some older titles may act up when DualShock is picked. If DualShock is not working in any title, then there might be an issue.

Thanks. Since you did not mention any particular error messages nor when it happens, so far there have been 2 common problems that people had that prevented them from playing. 1. Your device/graphics card does not support v1.3+ Vulkan API. The oldest Nvidia cards are select Maxwell 1 cards, stuff like G210 or GT710 won't work. 2. The disc image you're trying to open is in an incompatible format or the wrong file is pointed at. Behavior between Steam's and standalone Beetle are the same.

@@DfactorLongplays my problem was figured out bro thx anyway 🙏, some core graphics card fit with Sony playstation 1 swanstation core and Sony playstation 1 pcxvram core , my graphics card is support these two not beetle hw , some people must test another core for ps 1 core instead of Sony playstation beetle psx hw it definitely going to fix it I'm sure of it 🙏🙏🙏 thanks bro

That would mean that 1) The image file you're trying to open is not compatible with the core. Online documentation does show a list of supported file extensions. 2) The installation of the core has failed. Which I've never seen happening, but could be a thing if your RetroArch folder is read-only or there's no free space.

I've never experienced such behaviour myself. If you do a clean install without any bios and without any front-end settings changes, does it still show the missing bios output?

@@DfactorLongplays I found an old post on reddit that psx hw supports AMD graphics. I have Nvidia. It could be that.

@IrOnMaN1789. No, that wouldn't be it. Card-specific software stopped being a thing during the 90s. Besides, this whole video was made on a Nvidia GPU. If you think it could be your GPU at fault, which Nvidia card do you have?

@@DfactorLongplays geforce gt710

@IrOnMaN1789. You might be onto something. That card does support Vulkan, but up to version 1.2. The latest versions of Beetle require 1.3, I believe. So that is likely the reason why you're not getting any output. In this case, I would suggest keeping the front-end and the Beetle at OpenGL (marked as "gl').

All I see is misinformation and assumptions. Most cores in RA reflect graphical changes immediately, Beetle is no exception, so I'm not sure why are you even bringing that up (three times in your post). None of the RA cores are plugin-based, that design is archaic and is no longer used in any modern software. If you have problems with the front-end, then that's on you, you don't have to come up with a reason to dislike something. "Even worse", is a strong conclusion, especially when it's backed by absolutely nothing. The process of setting up DuckStation to the same degree as shown in this video would be almost identical to Beetle, so it's kinda hilarious for me to read this. I would say, expand your horizons, monopoly in emulation space was never a good thing.
