SNES Games not working with Retroarch

[sarah1971]

Hello, I've been trying to use retroarch for several games such as Street Fighter Alpha 2, Super Street Fighter 2, and Batman Joker's Revenge but I keep getting a black screen and then it just takes me back to the main menu. Can someone please help? Thank you.

And yes, i am running the latest version of retroarch which is version 0.9 at the moment. I've restored to factory settings, reflashed, and still no luck. I'd greatly appreciate any feedback anyone may have on this. Thanks very much.

Confirmed - I did a fresh install to clear out some old shader experiments and on launch, you get a black screen for 5 seconds and back to the menu. 0.8 ironically worked fine for me (sans the scanlines overlay).

I tried 0.8 and even that did not work for me :( Hopefully there’s a fix soon. I was really looking forward to the street fighter games.

Can you show your command line to launch it?

Hi guys, i too used 0.8 with no problems, ive just updated the latest cores and i get the above problems: This command works in 0.8 but not 0.9:

/bin/clover-canoe-shvc-wr -rom /usr/share/games/CLV-U-PTFXF/Street_Fighter_Alpha2(USA).sfrom.7z --volume 100 -rollback-snapshot-period 600 --retroarch

Well same problem here. I was able to play Terranigma euro (patched NTSC) perfectly with 0.8.. but it's NOT working anymore with V 0.9. here is what i have done : 1 i launch the game, 2 black screen for about 3 to 4 seconds, 3 Go back to the usual SNES mini interface.

I try to erase --retroarch from the command line, then write it back = no go. I try to use --retroarch with the General command line settings = no go.

For your information, my settings for terranigma : /bin/clover-canoe-shvc-wr -rom /usr/share/games/CLV-U-VJMUQ/Terranigma_(US).sfrom.7z --volume 100 -rollback-snapshot-period 600 --retroarch

NOTE : oh joy ! I re installed V 0.8 and everything is back to "normal" .. at least I can continue to play....

I actually managed to run Sf alpha 2 with retyroarch, no special setting with the latest version; it had some slow downs, though, but nothing terrible. EDIT: sorry; I didn't realize that you made a new release since yetsterday; Sfa2 works on 0.8!

Same, im back to 0.8 with no problems now.

[Bumblecito]

Same here, 0.8 works flawlessly but 0.9 cannot run games with command " --retroarch" at the end of the line.

[DefKorns]

same here. going back to 0.8

Ditto, NES & Genesis have no issues on 0.9

[dem1980]

The param "--retroarch" is broken on 0.9

Il you use the generic syntax, il works, for example "/bin/snes path/to/my/rom.7z"

[ClusterM]

Fixed. Redownload and install latest release.
