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

[Zukov]

and you now miss bg img for cores? and what image you use? maybe send me some example

No man, in the playlists, the games shows in a list and also an image appears. For me it's the boxart of the game, but it could be any photo. That's what I'm missing.
Sry for being cheap with my words.

I used your v3 to create a list of my GBA roms. I allready have one done by RetroArch itself, but I was testing, since that's a big part of the joy of being in the scene.
Now, after the test, the games in the GBA list chopped their image. And Aria of Sorrow won't load my savestate and ingame save. Didn't try another rom cuz that's displease me.


Also, when I load a game in the list your app creates, and then, on another day, I load it through the "History" tab, they list (in that tab) with their direction name, instead of the Name itself (sry for my bad english, I think a few images could make this easier, but can't take my Vita out at the workplace lol).

So... instead of looks like this:
Super Mario Bros. 3 (U)

It is like this:
ux0/data/roms/NES/Super Mario Bros. 3 (U)

Kind of ugly.
Just my two cents, cuz your app should be really usefull.

I know that, I only use VBA since it is the shit.
Ehmmm.. maybe you could contact me, we could test your software in private and stop spamming this thread. PM if you think we could break our language-space-time barrier.

There is an option under video to change rotation. You have to allow it and then change the rotation option to 270 or whatever works. It is a bit annoying. But it works.

With 180° it works! Manyyyyyyyyy Thanksssssssss
Retroarch is a great software, but sometimes it gets me rather puzzled..one option there, another option over there...

Maybe you should have PM'd him from the start

If anyone could do an app that erases all the pics but those of your roms, it would be awesome.
Don't know if it's explained in the link, but... pics in the proper folder, with the same name as your rom.

The link is very general but indicates the main points. The name of the thumbnail must be identical to the name in the playlist. I made this video this week showing how my playlist was and the thumbnails (not a tutorial).

I like to see the games with the covers, because it makes it easier to choose the most unknown roms.

 

[Kerbangman]

It's strange how all these years Retroarch has been going nobody has dumped a collection with all this done.

 

[isoboy]

I just use the recently played list. It's not like I'm switching between twenty games every time.

 

[yeshuachrist]

(great job with the thumbnails, I couldn't get them to work even with using playlists and same name, and other stuff....bummer. No big deal though, the vita scene is far from dead, this is an issue, I won't have any problem coming back to in a few months )

 

[Lord M]

@frangarcj : so no news about pcsx-r?

 

[yeshuachrist]

(There's more flickering in the SNES Emulator for the Xbox (current version) with some graphics like explosions or in the FFantasy games, then there is for the snes emulator under retroarch. Snes on vita under retroarch does have slightly more lag in the way the graphics are rendered, plus you can't play all hacks/mods, you can play most.)

(SNES is probably the only emulator that looks good with the overlay option, versus the other 16bit/8bit consoles on a real tv using pstv. can't seem to set the audio frequency to lower to get better performance, worth mentioning 1.6.0 has remove random frame drops in black screen transitions, from the snes games that appear to work find. (F-Zero is a good example))

 

[rez78]

A question: cheats are included in mame core? If yes how can i activate it? Thanks

 

[Lord M]

i need a explanation: i suppose that, due psvita very weak CPU, there's no way to have a fully working (no laggy) rewind system in PCSX core. Is this right?

Ah, and what about Widescreen Hack? (not the common 16:9 stretched)

 

[Twizman]

Thanks so much for the recommendations on emulators for the Vita. Everything working great except one particular game for me - Wizardry V. I'm able to run the game using Retroarch SNES9x 2005 fine, up until a battle ends. At this point the game always freezes. The trapped chest screen starts to appear slightly but then freezes. I would super appreciate anyone who can help! I'm running the game with the recent uncensored patch.
