Help Issues with running a PSP game on Retroarch PPSSPP

[HeroesOfTomorrow]

Greetings folks, recently played the first Valkyria Chronicles, loved the game, and wanted to try the second. Downloaded the Rom, got a bios, selcted the core to use on Retroarch, but the game won't start up. Like it's not even a deal of Retroarch saying it can't start the game for any reason, it crashes the emulator when I try!

Any idea why is that? And any advice to give a greenhorn on how to emulate psp games? It's my first time trying my hand with that console

have you tried it without retroarch? you could try just using ppsspp by itself?
also i think that game is also on vita so you could also try the vita version on a vita emulator?

Yeah, I'll second that. I'd also recommend using the standalone version of PPSSPP, which gives little to no problems.

I'll download it and give it a try, I'll update you guys when I get around to

have played the second one with ppsspp and had no issues. Standalone ppsspp works as is no need to worry about bios
