Hacking Emulation RetroArch/Libretro Thread: PS Vita Edition! Nightlies Included

[VincentBeasley]

Any one have the best VBA.self that they could send my way? I currently have the latest stable version and I'm looking for a better one

I've updated cores to 1.6.7, but fb alpha doesn't works. Is it normal? :/
When I try to load the core my pstv crash to power off screen

Is it worth to install the new version 1.6.7 ? Or whitch version is the best for the vita at this time ?

Stay on 1.6.4. 1.6.6 & 1.6.7 aren't stable versions!

Well Retroarch has never been very stable, but yes now with 1.6.7 on Vita it became completely unusable. It crashes to reboot all the time for me when loading cores, or gives errors on loading content... glad to see it is not just me. Is anyone testing these things before releasing new "stable' builds?

EDIT: I reverted back to 1.6.4 and the Mame 2003 core loads without crashing, but loading Atari Lynx (Handy) content still crashes the emulator. I know it worked in an older version, but which one (sigh).

Strange, i used today VBA and Snes9x 2005 cores of 1.6.7 with no problems.

 

[rsn8887]

Can you try the Mame 2003 core and see if it works for you? Thanks!

Did you install the stable or the nightly?

The stable (2017-08-18 release)

In the last few months how has the progress been? Haven't used this in a few months and curious on how the snes, GBA and psx cores are doing now.

EDIT: Never mind, I thought it was bad but it is very good. I made a mistake and copied way too many Bios files ( hundreds of files ) into the system dir. Somehow that made Retroarch very unstable. I just tested it again after keeping only the bios files I really needed, and now the latest nightly it works great! Sorry for the confusion in my earlier posts.

Does psxrearmed in version 1.6.4 has the best performance, or is threre a better version that I should use ?

I used last nightly and works very well. And yes, i noticed slightly improvement since version before 1.6.4 (for example, i noticed less slowdown and frame drop after a load state in Crash 2)

Could you list what the bios names are. Thanks

Well I deleted all of them apart from three SCPH playstation files and the mame2003/samples and fba/samples files. Having too many subdirs and files in system/mame2003 caused that core to crash on load.

Having lynxboot.img present caused all lynx games to crash into black screen on load.

The latest stable build are always bugged or i can update from 1.6.4?

 

[rsn8887]

I would suggest using the latest nightly. It is working fine and some improvements are always being made (better sound in non-plus Snes9x 2005 emulator, etc.).

Ok thanks you

Its not stable sorry but it crashe when i load other core on 24 august nightlie

 

[rsn8887]

Which core is it? I am sorry but I did not try every core. Some might still crash. I would like to try the one you have problems with, too.

BTW: You can always go back and re-install the 1.6.4 "stable" over your current install, if you want to try that one.

this is the gpsp core from the all in one vpk
