AI service doesn't work for me

[Sephilar]

I tried using it for a japanese PSP game but I can't get it to work. I've already set a hotkey both for the pad and the keyboard and set AI services to ON, but nothing happens.

I don't understand what do you mean with ai not working? Does the game not run at all? But take into account that ppsspp core needs some extra files you need to get to make it work properly,

The game and the PPSSPP works perfectly, is the AI service which I wanted to make use of it that doesn't work. This feature: https://docs.libretro.com/guides/ai-service/

says you have to set up VG Translate

It's one of the methods that unfortunately I couldn't get it to work. I've tried the ztranslate method as well both by creating an account and then putting the key in config.json and changing the URL to http://ztranslate.net/service plus the key, but still nothing :/

says change the URL to: http://ztranslate.net/service?api_key= plus the key

Yes, that's what I did.

[Fried Brains]

says enter URL at: 'Settings> AI Service> AI Service URL>' (in other words don't edit config.json, set the setting in RetroAch)

[Sephilar]

Yes I did that, but if I understood correctly in order to do it with the VGtranslate method you need to edit the config.json in user_api_key". I couldn't get it to work in any of those cases anyway.

Think it also says you have to have your text narrator ON.

[Sephilar]

Did it as well. AI Service Enabled ON and AI Service Output already tried both in Narrator mode, Image mode and Speech mode but nothing works.

When I used for PS1 worked on Vulkan render only.

Ok, it was a stupid mistake but thanks to this now I know why I couldn't get it to work. Basically I had set the hotkey both with an input for the keyboard and another for the controller as well, me just assuming the option was there just to had more than one method if you wanted, but no, you HAVE to press the two buttons at the same time in order to do it. I wish that would have been clarified before spending so many hours without knowing anymore what could be wrong.

Anyway, now I can finally use the AI service, thanks a lot!
