Just wondering (as I finally got around to trying it) could the 3dsx builds of pcsx ever get to full speed (on n3ds) without kernel, or is it too limited? On a related note, what exactly do we gain from kernel access that the standard hbl doesn't have?
I don't think we will ever see a full or near full speed PSX for 3dsx :\

You're probably right, but I'm hoping we'll some improvement when the beta or final version comes out (soon™) - Speaking of which, has there been any word on future releases?
Same here but it's unlikely I only play Tekken and Kula World on PSX

And not that I know of the only releases I know are the nightlys

Why not add TempGBA core since that one has better compatibility and better speed (even on a ds and psp) than the current gpsp. Although it stills doesn't work with Boktai 1. The only emulator that I have used that works with Boktai is MyBoy! for Android (I wonder what code makes Boktai playable).
I have been playing Boktai at playable speeds (35-50 FPS) on mGBA for the past week or so on the N3DS.

There is actually a solar sensor setting built into mGBA as well and it works great.

But the solar sensor doesn't work very well for Boktai 2. Max setting on Boktai 2 only gives 3 sensor bars. Anything less than max setting doesn't do anything.

I'm sure there's functions and extra RAM/CPU usage that the .cia benefits from.

I noticed a small problem that is pretty much causing the game shortcuts to be useless. When a game is loaded through opening retroarch it reads the save data properly. However, when you launch a game through a shortcut it doesn't load that save data / loads the wrong save data. Unfortunate.

Something worth noting.

I applied some filters (I think it was Scale2x) to one core, I think it was CatSFC, then I tried to open Nestopia or GenPlus GX and I got a blackscreen with all games, but the sound was playing in the background.
So There is something about the filters screwing up the image for other cores.

I deleted the filters manually and all was well afterwards.

Yeah that happens with pocketsnes too. There is also no way to disable filter with the retroarch gui. The only way is to delete the filter itself or the retroarch config. It is quite annoying.

    ewww key shops...
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Why do you really want to use key shops nowadays? You're not really paying towards the companies who provided the keys, plus its very sketchy.
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    https://gg.deals/game/bloodstained-ritual-of-the-night/ - I rather use the proper shops, but here are Key shops shown as well. They tell you the risks as well with each shop

  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    One of the keyshops is 95% off at the moment (probably humble bundle keys)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    And a small percentage of keys bought with a stolen credit card.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    You never know if the key works or not, they don't provide a guarantee.
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    Sure is... and poor devs get hit with the charge backs

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Exactly.
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    Thor from "Pirate Software" said its just better to pirate the game than buy from a keyshop if you care about the devs

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    devs don't get hit with the chargebacks, the keys are free to generate
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    at least on steam
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    Except he said the DEVS get hits with the chargeback cost
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    since the key gets bought with a stolen credit card
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    there's nothing to charge back because the keys don't cost them money to generate in the first place
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If the game has a crack sure
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Most these crack sites have dead links anymore or the crack don't even work
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    @The Real Jdbye What don't you get? If someone use a stolen creditcard. Then sell said key on G2A. If I the dev sold the game key, I will get the charge back cost. That's how it works, it doesn't matter if I generate 300 keys if 300 of them are bought with stolen credit cards. I never said it was on Steam, but its the dev that gets hit. There is a ton of stories out there if you google it.
