Homebrew [Release] Unofficial Retroarch 3DS

[Sizednochi]

Are the Retroarch guys taking this seriously or is it just a pet project sort of thing?

It's mostly aliaspider, and he's been working on this for days if you check out his github. So I doubt it's a "pet project sort of thing".

I said this on the other thread but it seems like the new one made it invisible:
gpsp crashes because it is missing the bios, you need to save it as sdmc:/retroarch/cores/system/gba_bios.bin

also disable vsync, since it runs under 60fps and vsync will only hurt it more.

I keep getting an assertion failed error message still

This may be asking a lot, but is it possible to add N64 for the .3ds and .cia build? I really would like to play Banjo Kazooie on my 3DS. Even if it would lag a lot, i would still play it.

The lag would be so unbearable that pretty much every game would be unplayable.

There are games that are re-released for the 3DS like LoZ Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask and Starfox. Would be so awesome if Banjo Kazooie got remade for 3DS.

May I make a request for gPSP and Genesis as CIA files?

It would be much appreciated.

gPSP use dynarec so it doesn't work as CIA/3DS.
For Genesis, if someone reached to correctly launch at least one title, if you can tell me what is this title, i'll try to make a CIA and try if it starts correctly.

dynarec will be automatically disabled if you manage to compile and run RA as cia/3ds , you will get less than 20fps though.

I can't get any Sega Genesis/Megadrive Titles to boot. Retroarch freezes after a minute of trying to boot the roms. I tried Sonic 1-Spinball (Excluding S&K). I tried both .bin and .smd files. Could somebody help please?

EDIT: Almost forgot to mention: When the roms try to boot, the top screen is black and the bottom screen shows what I'm assuming is normal code, with the FPS changing and some other numbers counting up on the bottom right of the screen (I'm assuming it's counting how long the app is running?).

EDIT2: Scratch that, it's counting frames.

EDIT3: Just look at the text displayed. It's having some sort of problem with pushing a NULL or empty core info into the playlistfps.

Yet ANOTHER EDIT: So I turned off the history list in the settings and the error is gone... But now, when I try to load a rom, the emulator send me back to the 3ds menu with an "Error has occured" message.

Can someone please convert the Gba Emu to .cia?

Can someone please convert the Gba Emu to .cia?

It wont have better performance, it has been said already some posts ago, the dynarec feature is only present on 3dsx version.

This is very preliminary and will get better with time. Awesome

Your file names may obviously be different, but here's the settings I used and the games I tested on the Genesis build:
O3DS XL
Audio Enable: OFF
Audio Sync Enable: OFF
History List Enable: OFF

Altered Beast (USA, Europe).md - Did not load (crashed 3DS once)
Animaniacs (U) [!].gen - Did not load
Lost Vikings, The (U) [!].gen - Did not load
Megaman - The Wily Wars (E).gen - Did not load
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (W) (REV00) [!].gen - Did not load
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (U) [!].gen - Did not load (crashed 3DS on unloading core)

Now I'm going to go try some Master System ROMs

great to see they're bringing Genesis

I know. I love SNES and all, but it's great to see some Sega love on 3DS. I wonder if the 3D Master System games will eventually play in 3D...

Theres a reason why its not officially released yet. It needs more time. Expect many freezes, slow speeds etc with this unofficial release =)

Personally I kinda like using the VC Injection method to load GB roms anyways, plus I've got BlargSNES and Earthbound to tide me over till official releases.

Looks like a bit of a rough start. Can't wait until its a bit more usable (yes, I realize its extremely early to expect anything to work properly).

Got FBA v.0.2.97.35 also to compile, i'm trying some roms loading with it (starting from NeoGeo MVS).

Metal Slug and KoF97 seems not to work. Don't know if the problem is the BIOS (My BIOS file is 1.430.763 bytes) cause with Metal Slug for example i got this error as last log (just after neogeo archive loading): [libretro ERROR] :: [FBA] ROM_index 2 was not found ... CRC: 0x72813676

 

[SLiV3R]

Neo geo would be soo cool on the 3ds! It would fit nice with the 320x240 resolution
