I'm assuming I need to enable AI to get the game to read to me. Does someone mind explaining how to do this? Also when I try launching a game after getting the core nothing happens at best and it crashes at worst.
This should help:
https://docs.libretro.com/guides/ai-service/
Though I'm unsure if the vgtranslate works on Linux/Mac. Devin, you showed it in the vid. Did you use vgtranslate?
EDIT: @26: Try messing with sound drivers. Now I got mine working, I too need the AI so I can double check my menu memory. That being said, my old DOS stuff works great. As does old DC stuff and PSX stuff. Not tried any of my PS2 discs yet. But I'm hoping I can get Dark Cloud 1/2 to work
And just to clarify, before the mods come down on me...
1. I'm using my original discs that I've dumped to my system. Completely legal here for backup reasons.
2. No I won't share any of the dumps so don't bother asking.
And, I'm a dumbass. I toggled fast forward on. Then spent ifive minutes trying to set it to sync perfectly for the PSX without turning fast forward off. Eep
No luck. I'm changing sound drivers, but nothing. Even after setting up AI, it says no text found. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here.
What're you trying to emulate? Certain cores work better than others for different systems
I've tried both ppsspp and citra
For the AI service, you have to either use some kind of offline ... thing, or just do what I was told is the easiest. In the AI menu in settings, set the AI URL to http://ztranslate.net/service
For those who just want to do this quickly, here are the first few lines of my retroarch CFG file:
accessibility_enable = "true"
accessibility_narrator_speech_speed = "10"
ai_service_enable = "true"
ai_service_mode = "2"
ai_service_pause = "false"
ai_service_source_lang = "0"
ai_service_target_lang = "0"
ai_service_url = "http://ztranslate.net/service"
I think at this point my problem is nothing is loading when I launch a game at best, or actively crashing at worst.
Try gathering a log by following the steps here:
https://docs.libretro.com/guides/genera … arch-logs/
and making an issue on Retroarch's GitHub at:
https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch
Be sure to paste the log in the issue, or put it into pastebin or some other service and share it that way.
I'd recommend you do some reading on emulation Death. For this you'll have to play with combinations of drivers under settings>drivers for the best output. It's also dependant on your system.
@Death: This may be a silly question but did the game load?
Also here's how I did the AI.
1. Signed up for ztranslate.net
2. Cloned the vgtranslate repo
3. Followed the readme.md
It works for me with the ztranslate info put into the vgtranslate config
Okay. So.
Whaat do you all think I should buy for the systems that are disc based, what's the consensus on things to grab. I'm trying a lot of spectacle fighters and they work good so far
I've actually gotten it to work after doing some googling, but after a few times of using the AI service retroarch crashes. This is amazing though.

This was way, way back in 2000 or so. It's just memorizing menues, nothing more, nothing less. Combine this with the fact that each and every single attack, tech and item has a unique sound. The battle menues aren't very difficult to understand either. Each character has 8 single techs I believe, after that are double techs and then triple. You can tell when a character's ATB meter is full by the sound that plays so you can use multi techs. It's fun to play around with, and given the fact that you can switch party members literally anywhere, there's a ton of flexibility. Just don't be afraid to experiment and you'll be surprised what you can acomplish.
I've been having issues with the speech becoming extremely unresponsive. Anyone have any suggestions? I hope eventually they can have this pipe to NVDA as I feel like that would be waaay more responsive
Hence why I said this was with a save with everything unlocked. I could walk around the end of time, warp around with the epoch ETC. Navigation through the main story just isn't really possible. However there are multiple ways of getting to lavos directly once you've progressed far enough.
@liamerven I've been helping a few others with this issue as well. Does trying any of these solutions help? THis is from the dev of the project. I did pass along what I knew, but if more pepole are having the issue, maybe we can figure it out with an issue on github.
@blindndangerous What the code does is just the same as running something in the command line. It's basically this:
PowerShell -Command "Add-Type –AssemblyName System.Speech; (New-Object System.Speech.Synthesis.SpeechSynthesizer).Speak('hello');"
Is that slow to speak on these machines?
Powershell is probably the issue then. There are some suggestions for speeding it up here: https://superuser.com/questions/1212442 … windows-10 can try some and see if they work. Be sure to retry the command a few times in the command line to see if it will be faster when it caches things.
saddly it's still painfully slow. If NVDA might be an issue for them, maybe another super simple solution would be to have text coppied to the clipboard and have clip read read it. I'd be totally okay with this.
This sounds like exactly what my little GPD Win 2 was built for. I can almost feel its excitement. It's too bad I no longer have any of my old PS2 disks though. They can't be that expensive these days, can they?
hello
guys, can someone help me? when i launching retroarch narrator saying accessibility on main menu load core, and when i'm pressing arows, after 2 or 3 seconds narrator saying strange things, like rsss*sofsrsrsrs, and etc only thing that narrator saying correctly this is show desktop menu.
@47, my pc on russian language, and retroarch half Russian, and half english
well, i think that i should wait for the stable version
Hi everyone. I'm the developer for the RetroArch feature. I'll try to answer some questions here. First though, if anyone is using the ztranslate.net url for the AI Service, I would recommend signing up for the site and including an API key in the url like this: http://ztranslate.net/service?api_key=mykey since that will tie the requests to your account and allows you to customize some options of the OCR. If the api_key is omitted, then it will tie the request to the public account, which could get limited in the future if the service gets more use and the api calls are costing too much, though that is quite some time away at this point. With the vgtranslate method, you have the option of using your own google api keys and bypassing the ztranslate service entirely.
@JaceK Espeak takes a command line parameter for volume but it's not being used yet. I'll have to add a setting for separate narrator volume in the future.
@arturminyazev If the narrator is speaking giberish, then it's probably a string issue within RetroArch. I just tried RetroArch on linux with Russian, and there were error logs about the language dictionary. RetroArch will use the system's language as the default language, but switching to english might help you better. If you open up RetroArch and do: "right up up enter up enter enter escape escape" then it will exit RetroArch and when you start RetroArch the next time, the language will be in english. If the Enter key doesn't work in that sequence, you can try it with x instead.
@death Can you post some logs of the RetroArch crash? On Mac and Linux, if you run "Retroarch -v" then it will print the log output to the terminal window. On windows you can run the RetroArch (with logging) shortcut. My guess is that there's a segfault error happening that I might have fixed in a newer commit.
@Liam Some windows machines have worse slowness issues than others, because of anti-virus, or whatnot. I was thinking of having an option for a customizable command, where RetroArch would run something like speech.bat that would default to the powershell command but if you change the bat file, then you could get it to output the text in a different way, but that didn't materialize for the release.
Hi Barry.
Thanks so much for the replies, and thanks again for working on this feature. I'm not sure how hard adding clipboard support would be, but if that's something you can consider, that will massively speed up the speech latancy issues.
