Homebrew [VIDEO] GBA emulator on New 3DS v9.9U (Ironhax/TubeHax)

[DiscostewSM]

Heh, the video does show a glitch, pertaining to when you enter the first level. The swipe effect should be black, but it's the same color as Color 0 (background color).

Anyways, this is looking promising, and this is an unofficial beta from 4 months ago? Unfortunate that I have only an o3DS.

if you go to Core Options it lists 'Dynamic Recompiler (restart) Enabled'

Let's wait until libretro releases the official release.

MannCo, can you please upload a picture of you´re folder for me, please

Sure!

Spoiler

This is my SD card root:

The "GBA" contains the roms and the game_config.txt file

The folder "retroarch" is automatically created when you launch the emulator for the first time, but you can create it manually before running the emulator to place the GBA bios.

The bios should go here:
SD:\retroarch\cores\system

And this is my "3ds" folder where I place the .3dsx files:

As you can see, there's the Retroarch.3dsx file (there's no need to create a folder with the same name, just put the .3dsx file in the "3ds" folder to see it in the homebrew launcher)

What is exactly your problem?

Sorry for my bad english, btw

I keep getting "cannot push NULL or empty core info into the playlist" Ah i always run into troubles everytime i try to use retro arch in anything its ever been released on.

Try to turn off the audio and then start a game.

Same here. N3DS 9.9-26U, it just doesn't start up. I have everything for sure set up how it should be, can't imagine what's wrong. It's set up exactly the way others here have theirs installed.

Do you get a red screen?

 

[Powermad80]

Do you get a red screen?

Yep.

I read in the release thread that apparently it gets stuck trying to parse a config file that doesn't exist, is that it?

 

[MannCo]

The problem is probably the boot.3dsx in your sd root. Replace it by this one: https://t.co/j2S2i49gyk

 

[soetem]

Does anyone else has the issue that if you exit this emu through the exit option in the app you cannot start it again without deleting all the generated retroach files from your SD card?

Same thing happens to me. To close retroarch I have to hard power off instead of using the close retroarch option otherwise it will crash on boot up next time.

That did it, thanks!

It loads and everything, now I'm getting the "cannot push NULL or empty core info into the playlist" error, which I suspect is me doing something wrong this time. I put the bios in the correct place, that I know.

EDIT: Nevermind, I adjusted some settings I should have in the first place (VSync and Audio turned off) and it's working.

Glad it works
If I'm not mistaken, you get this error because you didn't disable de audio. Try to disable it in the emulator settings.

Yep, I just figured that out.

I really hope that's fixed soon, having functional GBA emulation in any state is exciting but no audio stinks. Does it work in any capacity for any games at all?

 

[ChokingVictim87]

Can someone do a video of how to install this/what the files should look like etc? Im really struggling as Im fairly new to this!

 

[AtlasFontaine]

Try using this patch:

With VSync disabled I'm getting around 100FPS on New 3DS.

Thx a lot now I get 33 fps with VSync off on O3DS

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I meant it doesn't have any gamebreaking glitches.

Does it only run at full speed on Ninjhax 2.0, or would a .CIA version have the same speed to it? Also, does it have the same ROM size restriction as CitrAGB, or would it work for playing larger games like Mother 3?

Someone asked for a .CIA version on the original thread. It's explained there I think.
