The PS1 core feels sped up after updating to the latest nightly build of RA. Timers in fighting games are way faster than what they should be.

Is it like this for anyone else or just me?

If you switch to the switch video driver (to get rid of video stutter) how on earth do you get the game to display properly. My games are now in the top left of the screen , using about 10 percent screen space and no settings I change make any difference

I just updated from 1.8.5 to 1.8.8. Now when I use Mupen64plus-next on 16:9 adjusted every game stutters mightily, including OoT.

I tried with the 1.8.5 config file, and it stutters. I tried deleting the config, along with everything else from 1.8.5, and going with default settings, and it still stutters. I tried with the non-default settings I had used with 1.8.5 (Noise emulation: false; Framebuffer emulation: false; Depth buffer to RDRAM: FromMem; Frame rate: Full speed), and it still stutters. At 4:3, everything runs fine. At 16:9 adjusted, it stutters.

I deleted everything and put my old 1.8.5 back on, which I had saved to PC before updating, and it works fine as before.

Any ideas?

Why are you using 16:9 adjusted instead of simply 4:3?
Try deleting every CFG inside /retroarch/, that includes subfolders too.
If that still doesn't do it, grab the latest nightly build from the buildbot, rename your /retroarch/ folder to anything else (retrobak) and copy a fresh retroarch folder from the buildbot too.
If that works, then simply copy over your thumbnails, playlists and savefiles over to the new folder from the old one.

16:9 adjusted gives true widescreen. It looks great. You never use it?

I use 16:9 (not adjusted).
I feel that for N64/PSX and onwards, using 16:9 is not bad at all compared to anything before N64/PSX.
I do use the original aspect ratio depending on the console for everything else, but from N64/PSX and onwards, it's all 16:9

Sorry! I wasn't specific! I'm talking about the Mupen64plus-next core. I need to edit my first comment! :wacko:

    Ken, your hamster inside it is hungry. Can't you turn POE on/off in your WiFi settings page? Or is it not staying on?

  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    @BigOnYa, Well, in that thread they say it's pretty much safe to manage save files back and forth to consoles as long as you don't go online with cheats activated or with a pirate game.
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    I own every of my games legit with their own cartridges
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    also, I'm not planning to use any cheats, etc, just continue the normal gameplay on the emulator
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It only gives a internet settings option then it spazes out

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @ATEMVEGETA if you use save from other switch you may be ok, but using a save from emulator to switch will prob get you banned
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Under ipv4/6
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    The save file will be created and started normally on the Switch's OFW with a legit game. Then that save file will be transfered to the emulator and continue the gameplay there. Then send it back to the console.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I feel like I need to touch @Sicklyboy rack to make it work at this point
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    The save file(s) would never be created first in an emulator
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Do you think continuing the story on the emulator would flag the save file as illegal? (Again no cheats, etc will take place, only normal story of the game progress)
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But still using the save on a emulator, then back to switch is shady

  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Yea, that's the only thing I want to clarify actually. If someone has tried it with no problems.

  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    If using the save on the emulator flags the save file. :/
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Again, "using" I mean normal gameplay not modify it with other means like pokehex, etc
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    @BigOnYa, Can you help me clarify this thing somehow? Do you know someone that may know or have tried it?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just play it on the emulation at home and portable use the normal save, I wouldn't risk anything if online is important to you
