CPS3 and PGM games doesn´t work

[Oberworld]

When you try to launch a Cps3 or PGM game, you get a black screen and after some time goes back to game list.

With other CPS3 / PGM games the black screen doesn't go back to gamelist and you need to power off the device, extract the sdcard, and insert it in a PC to delete the ".allium\state\current_game" file to be able to boot into the menu again. If not, any time you turn on the console will boot to the black screen.
If you try to launch the games with fbneo you obtain a "failed initializing driver" error.

My romset was working fine in onion, but I prefeer Allium by far. I hope this can be fixed in future releases.

Thank you for your great work, and sorry for my poor english. My best regards.

Hi, have you tried using different cores? No guarantees that this will work, but it's worth a try. I personally haven't tried any CPS3 games so I don't know which ones will work.

You can press "select" before launching the game to set which core to launch with.

It might also be a lack of memory as Allium doesn't use swap memory. I can look into selectively enabling swap for specific cores or systems if that's the issue.

Yes, I have tried with all possible cores but it still doesn't work.
The best core for CPS3 it's fbalpha2012_CPS3 but doesn't work.
You can also use fbneo but doesn't work too, but almost this core gives you an error, "failed initializing driver".
After a bit of googling, I see that it's possible that can be a lack of memory, as you can see here:

Thank you for answering.

I have noticed that the same thing happens with PGM (PolyGame Master) games, these games run well on onion, so I definitely think we need swap memory, at least on the fba2012 and fbneo cores.

I'll enable swap for the FinalBurn cores and mGBA. Please let me know if there are any other cores that require swap.

[Oberworld]

Thank you, I'll stay tuned.

I think that PCSX ReARMed core could benefit of swap memory, specially for more demanding games.
Thank you.
