N64 isn't listed under a category on page 1, I'm assuming it isn't supported at all for Vita Retroarch, no core at all? I don't think I saw NDS either. I'm really hurting in the nostalgia department without a solution for N64. I considered a modded Wii/U to play N64, DS, along with PS2? & GC-Wii/U, if possible Sarurn/Dreamcast too but was just recently laid off due to Covid19 so don't have the means to buy a used Wii/U to try to mod. Thanks for any help or info

Right now there is no DS emulator for Vita that plays nds games in decent speed, for n64 You can use Deadalus X64 but is far from perfect. Modded Wii/Wii U can't play ps2 games, rest of the systems You metioned are possilbe on Wii U.

This newbie needs some advice. I am trying to install RetroArch via the instructions for PS Vita. I have downloaded the latest VPK (1.9.0) and I can also find the zipped bundle with assets. However, when I try to download RetroArch's Data (the 7z file) the link is broken.

Can anyone help me:
- either find the missing RetroArch_data 7z file for VPK 1.9.0 and the zipped bundle I already downloaded
- or link me to another VPK, zipped bundle and RetroArch combination for a (slightly) older stable release?

Thanks in advance.

Hey tosti, search for "buildbot libretro vita" on google, the first result will have the nightly builds (sorry for this, i can't post links yet), the last one working is the 2020-14-11, beyond this date all vpk's are broken. and for kllr007 maybe you downloaded a broken VPK? try the ones on the buildbot thar are at least 250MB, hope this helps!

Yeah, I wasn't been able to compile the Piglet / OpenGL ES 2.0 version either, only building the single-core version without the salamander + griffin system worked. I guess there's still something left to resolve to fix the building process, we'll just have to wait for now.

Well I have the piglet nightly running with gl as driver, and there is indeed a shader section in the quick menu, but it doesn't seem to see either the GLSL or CG shaders I copied to my system. Supposedly the driver limits what types of shaders can be loaded so maybe this stuff isn't fully hooked up yet.

Very good to all, how are you?
I have seen that a new friend core has been implemented (uae4arm)
But when he asks me for disk 2 I don't know how to put it.
Do you know how to do it?
Thanks a lot..

In the puae core ,, in options there is disk control but in uae4arm not.

Progress slowly happening on the piglet nightlies. You can attempt to load glsl shaders now, although they fail to apply.

I tried the standard version which also is developing GL support, but its got huge slowdowns, whereas piglet seems to run just as well as vita2d.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
