Because they're not as good as mGBA?

What are you talking about? mGBA is terrible. Even at N3DS, it struggles to achieve fullspeed.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Any chance that emulation will improve in the future because of b9s?

Things I want to get improved:
gpsp and gambatte not crashing anymore
save and load states become faster
and better psx emulation.

I'm so sad to see so little progress in the 3DS emulation scene...

@JasonPK92 I have had crashes on every version of gpsp even the nightlys which half the time is completely broken.

Same thing has happened for me, it doesn't seem like there's any "best" version of gpSP. If it doesn't freeze and crash 5 seconds after loading a ROM, which it does 3/4 of the time, a crash will eventually get you no matter what. The longest I've gone without a crash is maybe 1.5 to 2 hours, tops.

Yes, me too. Even PSP had better emulation than 3DS. I personally not a fan of VC because it lack the features a typical emulator have such as savestates and fastworwarding. :/

Hey guys, I have a (hopefully) dumb question about PCSX Rearmed. I can't get the analog stick to work in any of the games I play. I can only move with the d-pad. For example, I can't play Legend of Mana with the stick, only the d-pad. If I go into the Core Input Settings, it doesn't let me choose the analogue stick as a remap for the d-pad either. Any idea what's going on?

Have you tried the Analog to Digital option in the input settings?

Hey, has anyone tried running Carmageddon in DOSBox? I'm wondering if the it's worth the trouble.
Thanks,

But does it crash? No.

I figured it out

There was an option in Core Input Settings to enable the stick... for some reason it defaults to Off.

I have another question though, about retroarch in general I guess. Each game I play needs its own custom settings to run efficiently. However, it seems that every time I make these changes, it transfer to ALL retroarch emulators, and I keep having to reconfigure my games. Is there any way I can make the settings customized for each game I'm playing, instead of having to reconfig each time?

Anyone get KH Chains of memories to run? it either freezes at the opening scene or is really slow with artifacts.

Make sure retroarch is actually pointing to the system folder to see the bios

Coranegro · Jun 4, 2017

I am having a problem booting any roms. Any time I load them I just boot back to home menu. Any ideas? I have tried to boot a few games on PCSX. N3DSXL 11.4 . Luma current.

the hardware has kind of been pushed to its limit, and there isn't as much demand as you would think for it, either. Most of the stuff people want can already be done from the current emulators or VC

I'm not sure why would you prefer something that is choppy.
mGBA don't even hit 30fps. The only time I crash on gpsp is when I rewind.

Hi I'm new into this of Retroarch, I searched yesterday in the wiki but did't find what I was looking for...

Where I have to put the "Retroarch" folder and the folders inside (cores, database etc)?

Thanks in advance

BTW, my FW is 9.2 (o3ds), with a9lh and luma.

arianadark · Jun 8, 2017

the retroarch folder goes on the root of the sd card

Samzark · Jun 8, 2017

Thx, looks like I installed it successfully

Now I have another problem, I installed the gpsp cia (which is supposed to run gba games), doesn't allow me to load the game, and sends me to home, what I have to do to make it work? xD

Oh wait, the bios file ¬¬' haha
Where I have to put it? It says it's missing...

all bios files go into retroarch/cores/system

though i'm pretty sure gpsp doesnt really need a bios. it does love to crash though.

i've got a question too, does anyone know what i have to do to play a game in fmsx?
how do i map keyboard keys to the buttons?

if you have 9.2 FW and a9lh and luma, you should be able to update to latest FW...
Also, just put the whole "retroarch" folder on the root of your SD. if you need more help installing, just ask.

EDIT: ninja'd

Samzark · Jun 9, 2017

Thanks for the help, gpsp now works properly

One more question, I installed the psx cia, and also put a bios (scph5001, ntsc), but everytime I try to run a game crashes and my 3ds reboots, what I'm doing wrong?
