pcsx-rr set up

Post by ShinjiGohan »

sigh I have no luck for anything these days.

I was trying to do a TAS survival mode in SFEX+A using pcsx-rr and lua with save states.

Upon starting it up its asking me for 2 files and the gpu plugin isn't anywhere to be found.
LIBBZ2.dll
libpng3.dll

following that it brings up the plug in configuration box and the graphics plug it is missing,

I could port over a different plugin for the video but when I tried that I didn't have any luck of the mis script running, so I'm thinking it could be to using a different gpu plugin.

The graphics plugin is in the plugins directory, but it won't show up in the emulator until you have the missing DLLs.

Thanks, that did the trick.

Now can you still load a savestate within the script like you can in fba-rr? With the &1 for savestate 1? I tried it but it crashed the program. So I wasn't sure if that was functional or not.

Macrolua works fine with PCSX. You might have a corrupt savestate. Try resaving it. It loads fine if you load it the usual way, right? If it does, see if this works. Save this line and run it as a script

Code: Select all

savestate.load(savestate.create(1))
That should just load state number 1. If it crashes something is wrong with lua.

I would put that in the command line execution of pcsx-rr or in the mis script?

Save it in a text file with a .lua extension. Then when you click browse in PCSX's lua window, run that file in the same way you'd run macro.lua.

So what happened exactly?

btw, if you are serious about learning Lua (which you don't have to), I suggest you start with gens and look at the html documentation and examples in the package.
