  • "I'm getting unexpected behaviour when playing with mods!"
    If the problem only occurs with mods enabled (double-check this!), then it's likely caused by a bug in one of the mods you have installed. Try disabling each of your mods one by one, launching the game and testing as you go to narrow down the problem mod. Once identified, report the issue to the author so they can fix it!

RetroAchievements not working with P3F CEP

Probably because you’re running the ELF

Forgot to say anything:

I launched P3FES from the .bat File included in the CEP. If i manually load the .ELF first in PCSX2, then shut down the emulation and load the .iso afterwards, then it works.

@hasty knoll go into the ELF's properties in pcsx2 and set the discpath to the ISO. Then when you launch the elf in pcsx2 it'll take you directly into the game with achieves still working. Slightly less convienient than the bat file, but still a single click

yeah

# sweet mantle yeah

Achievements are sadly not working BUT now i can have 2 seperate entries to play with CEP and another entry to play and test my created mods, thanks :D

the achievements have been added ?

hasty knoll

I just saw them on retroachievements

#

I wonder how you can add it to the elf because it works on the iso

#

is it possible to load mods directly on the iso and not the elf ?

sadly not. You need the .elf and the hostfs patch to load first, then the ISO.

Or both combined, but then PCSX2 loads the .elf first which is why the Achievements aren't working again. If you just load the ISO, the hostFS Patch does not work so it can't load modified files.

If you just want it an iso, you need to rebuild the whole ISO with your modded files

It's doable but painful as fuck

hasty knoll
#

yeah, then i'll just play with CEP and without Achievements

if you wanted do, you could build in your mods, re-dump every texture, then rename all of the texture replacement mods to match the new dumped hashes, but that's a lot of effort
