How is it possible to rotate screen in FBA/MAME for some games. I tried to add a config-file to the rom-folder (romname.zip.cfg) with following entry:

video_allow_rotate = true
video_rotation = 3

but that doesn´t work.
Any Ideas how to fix this ?

Thanks a lot.
The GBA VC don't have state save, right?

boop. https://buildbot.libretro.com/stable/1.4.1/nintendo/3ds/RetroArch_cia.7z install all of these cias. Or just the emulators you're interested in. On o3ds, snes, gba, and ps1 wont work pretty much at all though.

PSX you can get in 1.3.6 as it's missing in 1.4.0 and 1.4.1

I'm playing a Japanese card game and I'm getting 50fps on that with sound so I'm happy. But I'm on N3DS

The retroarch cia in the 1.4 build crashes on an error of the sd card being removed.

You have to open another core before retroarch.cia will work. It only opens the last used core but if you haven't opened one it doesn't know what to open.

Question, guys - is there a way to change the display settings in 1.4.x? I'm sick of gba games being all fuzzy and distorted.

You still need the Dstwo for DS games but emulator wise RetroArch is better. When it doesn't crash.

Video settings: disable bilinear filtering, enable integer scaling, you might try some others

The good news is it's not flipped. The bad news is it's still rotated.

From what I've skimmed, the reason for vertical games being rotated is that a change in how the underlying MAME version itself handles those games, and currently the 3DS RetroArch doesn't support the rotation, which other system builds of newer MAME have to do.

If you use MAME 2000 (.37b5 romset I believe), vertical games should look fine (without having to hold your system at a 90 degree angle

), since that was back when MAME would actually 'render' vertical stuff already-rotated, and that's before RetroArch spits it out.

...speaking of the MAME 2000 core: is there a way to access MAME's in-game menu? (TAB key in PC versions) The menu with control remapping, DIP switch/analog settings, etc...

I know you can hit the New3DS' ZR button in MAME 2003, but no amount of mashing different combos would bring it up in the 2000 core as far as I could find.

Retroarch also crashes when you change cores.

So, what's the point of Retro Launcher (cia) if it doesn't even work? Is there a proper way to set it up? CFW Luma3DS A9LH New 3DS

It works. It launches the last used core, so you can carry on playing where you left off. And maybe hide away all the cores in a folder.

If it doesn't work for you, something is wrong.

Does anybody have tremendous slowdown when using the XMB UI?

The FPS counter shows it drop from 60fps to anywhere between 10 and 2fps EVERY SINGLE TIME you move the cursor. This is insane - makes scrolling through the menu take so long its just not usable. If you hold the D-PAD or left analog stick in any direction, it slowly moves from one to another instead of quickly scrolling through - is this just me? Its a brand new install!

Interestingly enough I haven't seen anybody else mention that it seems to be a problem for them so I'm wondering if its just me or if everyone is just so used to the 3DS builds under-performing that they've got other things to complain about.

A *MASSIVE* shout-out to @MrHuu for posting .CIAs of all the cores and emulators not included. Keep it up! Thank you so much!

Okay but where is that located? I can't find any video settings in gpsp.

The only time I've seen anything like that is when I was scanning for collections.

I was hoping that this was just me. NOBODY has reported this issue.

It happens to me at all menus. N3DS. I wish there was something else I could try besides killing the .CFGs or RetroArch folder =/

I'm certainly not scanning, although when I tried to scan it, predictably so, did do what you're explaining.
