Hacking [RELEASE] PS4 RetroArch Port (Unofficial)

[hippy dave]

Just installed this on a 9.0 fw and the DS cores run awfully slow. Any pointers?

I haven't used it, but check the core settings to see if dynamic recompilation is turned on (you want it to be on), I've seen that be a thing for the Switch port of MelonDS

thx - this is realy the best PS4 news since a longe time!
I tested MAME and is works fine!

Hello @lotus78
How did you make it work? I tried installing the app and cores, moved roms to the /roms folder and none appear as available. pS4 v11 latest PFBneo. In retroarch snes and sega were visible and loaded correctly, but not for arcade games.
I'd appreciate if you can help.
Thanks.

This is a native PS4 port of RetroArch. The current release is based off v1.8.8.
You will need a jailbroken PS4 running 5.05 fw to install and use this port.

@OsirisX ,

I beg you on both knees could you bless us with a v2.0.0 update OR if it requires too much work at least the addition of the Final Burn Neo core so that we can all benefit from the original MAME ROMs in a smooth way (100% working rate)

On Retroarch official the Final Burn Neo Core allow you to play ALL the MAME roms (0.198) romset FLAWLESSLY in the BEST ULTIMATE way possible even a LOTS of games that was not playable couples years ago like Raiden Fighter 1-2 and Raiden Fighters JET to name somes...

Im open to open my wallet to give you some support if others member here are also interested to do so
please just give me a reply.

EDIT : Crystall added it in the Retroarch CE (Community Edition) for the PS3 on psx-place YEARS ago....

if you could add the lastest Final Burn Neo Core to the Retroarch PS4 it will make it the ULTIMATE RETRO GAMING MACHINE of all time !

I'd say just use docker. it's gotta be a very old post. you may be able to use a docker file from the retroarch. I remember lm's homebrew store has a docker file, so you don't even need to install orbisdev in that event. that was the first thing I ever compiled, with the help of lm.

@godreborn ,
I remember your logo; you once helped me with a question I had back in the PS3 days on another well-known site.

Do you think Crystal, Aldo, yourself, or anyone else would have the technical skills to implement/add a single core to the current PS4 retroarch?

Final Burn Neo, which would allow perfect playback of all MAMES ROMs, making the PS4 the ultimate retro arcade gaming machine?

the Final Burn Neo Core allow you to play ALL the MAME roms (0.198) romset FLAWLESSLY ! its just incredible !!!
we ALL need this on our PS4 consoles
