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

[Lord M]

I finally have SFIII 3rd strike hack working, thanks to chinese site bbs.duowan.
Its simply to modify the CRC32 check inside the eboot.bin of core you need to rom (in my case: FBA)
If you notice, the core have the original unmodified crc32, when the hack rom have different for modified file.

P.S: I would like to know why the RA team delete only my post-request on github >_>

Okay seems odd as this whole show is absolutely piracy... And Gbatemp.net have posted links to BsZelda yest and Mario 64 last impact.. Last week... But anyways.. Fuck it.. Just trying to help a brother out

 

[laharl22]

Latest nightlies are stable?

Dont expect the DS Core to work that great. Bejeweled 3 goes so damn slow. Same with Tetris Party Deluxe, and Solitaire DS. Guessing NSMB DS will be the same

Edit: Something is seriously wrong with the CPS1 FBA Core. NONE of the CPS1 Roms will work...........but the FBA Core which has all of them in 1 will run them with no problems.

You are probably using a .38 ROMset instead of the .30 set that the standalone cores use, which explains why it works on the AIO.

On that note, I wish we could delete unused cores.

 

[Smoker1]

Well the FBA Cores seriously need NVRAM Saves. Getting old having to change Settings ever time I run a certain Game. Cheats can wait on.

No, it is not; this is under the guise that any games being played are via LEGAL backups, after all; we do NOT endorse piracy. It's been apart of the Terms and Rules for a while, which you had to accept to register for GBATemp.

"Warez" - ROMs, WADs & ISOs

"Warez" is an internet term used to describe copyrighted software, game, film, music and data piracy.
We DO NOT HOST or PROVIDE ROMs/WADs/ISOs; or link to websites that do contain ROMs/WADs/ISOs.

And Gbatemp.net have posted links to BsZelda yest and Mario 64 last impact.. Last week...

There is a difference between providing direct links to copyrighted material that is still available for purchase (Such as [as much as we do not acknowledge this as an option] arcade boards as was listed above) and fan-made PATCHES to content that has literally been lost to time and thus cannot be retrieved, played, or otherwise viewed without dumps (I.E. Every BS-X dump ever made).

When/If the "Core Updater" works, MAYBE then you could... but considering it's built in pretty solidly into the port as a whole, I doubt this'll be the case.

Also, I completely doubt DS will become usable, especially in RetroArch; it is known to be rather adverse to hacky methods of getting speed in emulators, such as DS here.

New here but created the account so I might as well say it, the work you guys are doing both Retroarch for building these cores and GBAtemp for updating such a list of them on here is great work, massively appreciate it, really been enjoying the heck out of Street fighter EX+Alpha on the lovely Vita screen, blown away by how well it runs the Psone and sooo looking forward to the day I come here to find that PSP games are finally playable via HENKaku, I have been going back to my PSPGo to get my fix of Every Extend Extra every now and then and can't wait to see how it will look on the Vita's beautiful screen, was so sad they never bought that game to PSNstore, easily one of my favourite PSP titles.

But yeah, can't thank you guys enough for all the work on these emulators.

 

[kial]

Anyone knows why the dosbox core crashes the app when trying to start things?

 

[hiroakihsu]

You can...Just rename retroarch.vpk as retroarch.zip and open it up in Winrar/7zip and delete the .self files you don't need.

Dont need to rename...
And if you have already installed AiO vpk, simply go to ux0/app/"retroarchfolder (dont remembe the exactly name, about RETROVITA or something)" folder and delete the .self of core you dont want.

That method is a bullsheet, is more easy edit the drivers of the FBA and compile the core.

Anyone get Handy Core working? Every version of Retro freezes on the Loading rom screen

Quite.

Thank you, thank you. You're too kind. (^^;

Will keep this noted.

And that's what I had issue with. But nevertheless, some others HAVE gotten Handy to work.
Buuuuuut... make sure you use the right Lynx BIOS since that's a necessity. Otherwise, dunno how to help apart from bad ROM dumps. *Shrugs*

Thanks for the reply SeongGino. IIRC, handy doesn't need a bios? And even so, I have the lynx bios inside my system folder. I test lynx on my retroarch PC setup and works fine, so the roms are okay. Any other suggestions? Really wanting to play A.P.B. and Blue Lightning!

Wtf?
Your explanation is clear how the meaning of life...

You can add the check for numeric files as well? (10,20,30 without extension) Because 4td Strike Beta (not AE 2013; another hack) have those file inside the zip with the simm files, but FBA doesnt load those file and then start the unmodified game

There is a FBA Hack that allows for Homebrew/Hacked Roms like HBMAME on the neo-nebuwaks Site.
