What is a playlist? How do I create a playlist? Playlist - a list of games for a particular game system.
The easiest way to create a new playlist: Go to the "Playlists" tab, click "Scan directory", select a folder with games and start scanning.
During RetroArch scan compares the checksums of the images with the records in the database and, at the coincidence, the game adds to the playlist.
! Scanning can take a long time when a large number of files in the folder.
-----------------------------------------------------

Playlists>scan directory>open the folder with games>click on<Scan this directory>2. Open the playlist, and wait podgruzki images. For some games screenshots or cover may be missing.
! Screenshots and covers are downloaded automatically only the original versions of games. For modified versions (khaki, translations ...) online and add the art manually (the names of the pictures have to repeat the names of the images and be in PNG format).
-----------------------------------------------------
How to add to an existing playlist or khaki versions of games with translations? Use manual scanning (available from version 1.8.2).
Go to
Playlists>Manual scanIn the "Content Directory", select the folder with the games in the "System Name" enter the name of the playlist, click the "Start Scan".

Why is so much to hinder the game Beetle PSX? Beetle PSX - precision Emulator Sony PlayStation, is not optimized for use on mobile devices (even high-end).
Currently, work is underway to
Writing dynamic recompilerfor the core, which will give a significant performance boost.
For fast emulation of PS1 use kernel PCSX ReARMed in the 32-bit version RetroArch.
-----------------------------------------------------
After reinstalling the applications began to slow down the game on PS PCSX ReARMed kernel Did you use assembly RA for 64-bit devices (set automatically GooglePlay or basic apk). 64-bit kernel PCSX ReARMed has no dynamic recompiler (only interpreter CPU) and operates substantially slower 32-bit core.
Solution: install a 32-bit assembly with RetroArch bildbota or cap threads.
Check that you have the 32-bit assembly RA: from the main menu, go to
Information>System information>CPU Features- 32-bit assembly to be listed NEON support.
The core may retard if used shaders rewind functions (Rewind) or Run Ahead, additional graphics filters.
-----------------------------------------------------
How to improve graphics in playstation games? ! This option is only available in 32-bit versions PCSX ReARMed.
Turn on the option to the kernel configuration
Enhanced Resolution (slow) (
Watch an example of graphics,
comparison with the normal mode).
This option does not affect the resolution of graphics in games using maximum graphics modes with interlaced (such as Tekken 1/2/3, Tobal 2, etc.).
For maximum performance:
- Video settings enable "multi-threaded video" disable vertical sync;
-
do not turna core setting spidhak
Frame dupingHe gives the increase fps only off. multithreaded video;
- verify that the settings are disabled shaders and rewind functions (Rewind) and
Run ahead;
- Do not use compressed images in formats PBP games and CBN;
- Free memory from back-end applications; make sure the device is not in power saving mode.
