Homebrew [RetroArch] Nightly builds here!

[teampleb]

That...freaking sucks AND blows, so...in other words, most people are SOL, is there any glimmer of hope for future emulation development....? -_-

Maybe my wanting to get a 3DS was nothing but a mistake just like the last time I had on, go fig.

Well there's always more kernel exploits. No system is perfect. Even QNX has holes.

So there is hope then? I can only hope that exploits will happen, I see potential, a lot, for this to become a pretty decent emulation machine, you know?

Oh yes, it's 100% possible we will get another kernel exploit.

But is a matter of weeks, or months, or years, we don't know, so don't get too hyped my friend

Depends on who's trying.

 

[DiscostewSM]

Dynarec is probably a requirement for it to realistically run at decent framerates. What we need is a kernel mode exploit for newer firmwares.

While a kernel exploit has yet to be found for 9.3+ (afaik), what is available for all, o3DS and n3DS, is the GPU, which is currently not used in retroarch. But, that's likely to be addressed after compatibility and stability are tackled.

Don't worry fam. i'm on this one.

OK boi. I'm countin' on you dawg.

What impresses me here is the fact that everything is rendered in software, and yet some emulators ran in fullspeed!

Why only you do GPU stuff? I don't say anyone yet implenting this in their emus.

If you're on n3DS or a kernel hacked o3DS, most run full speed.

Not easy to do, but it will be done at some point, GPU rendering would take a lot of the load off.

Yes they do. BlargSNES, GameYob and mGBA use the gpu.

That's my point! I expect a huge speed boost with GPU rendering

 

[AtlasFontaine]

Yes they do. BlargSNES, GameYob and mGBA use the gpu.

mGBA does? I didn't know that.

 

[teampleb]

mGBA does? I didn't know that.

The official port, not the retroarch one.

 

[Radius4]

*libretro port

 

[aliaspider]

mGBA uses a software renderer.
gpu is only used to display and scale the final frame, which is done in retroarch too.
blargSNES on the other hand uses a gpu renderer, which can drastically speed things up.

Ahh, my bad. At least I right about the other two.

Would it be possible to implement or port the GPU from blargSNES to the ps1 emulator? Or are you thinking about testing your own GPU? There is a small possibility that some ps1 games will run fullspeed if GPU is implemented. I guess
