Homebrew [RetroArch] Nightly builds here!

[teampleb]

ok, thanks, btw, as far as I remember we could only access to 30% (o3ds) and 80% (80%) of the CPU right? sorry if this is old news, but my job devours way too much of my time and a long time has passed since the last time I experimented with stuff on the 3ds.

Yeah, that's a bit weird though. The o3DS runs at 268Mhz and the n3DS runs at 800-something Mhz.

Thanks! I'll download a few games and test tonight. I'm not in a hurry for PCE CD games, that only one i know that interests me is Rondo of Blood and i already bought it for Wii on the Virtual Console

I would like to tinker with the PSX code but I fail to find it on the libreretro page, someone can direct me to it?

the cores are kept each in a separate repository, you can find the source code for the pcsx_rearmed core here.
you need to first compile the core with

make platform=ctr

copy what you get as libretro_ctr.a to the retroarch tree , and then run

make -f Makefile.ctr LIBRETRO=pcsx_rearmed

the last parameter isn't necessary but it will give you a cia with the correct icon and ID.

he, yeah bit slow but well it's the just the beginning, with time we could get access to more, and what about gpu access? sorry for the many questions I just re-studying the capabilities of the actual exploits right now

We already have GPU access. It's just not implemented into RetroArch yet. To access more of the CPU we'd need a kernel hack.

Is there any footage of Spryo running on new 3DS? Frickin love that game and would be cool to see

just uploading the video now, will post link in 10 minutes or so

 

[ZordonAlfa]

anyone has the compiled psx core for o3ds in .3dsx? the nightly builds do not have it in them

No, and we won't unless it gets fixed.

Having put a few minutes in the mednafen pce core with a hu card rom, i'm impressed, it actually runs very close to FCeumm (if not slightly faster) despite the obvious differences between NES and PC Engine

Glad to hear it works pretty well on O3DS!

Here is the link to the video i uploaded of Spyro 2 running on my 3ds. Gotta say that there has been great work done since I first here of the possibility to run PSX games and I have to say thank very much to everyone who is involved in this.

Impressive!

This emulator will probably be something like daedalus64x (n64 on psp). Almost playable, almost

PSX core for 3DS but not one for Wii, Retroarch?
Shame on you.

"The Wii isn't powerful enough due to using PPC and not ARM" remember?

It could be ported to Wii, and in fact I believe I saw someone on the Libretro forums mentioning it, but it was said to be painfully slow, but what's stopping it from being optimized?

It did have those two though. The names escape me.

WiiSX and Not64 (branch of Wii64, the latter of which runs pretty well). The problem is WiiSX hasn't been updated since early 2013, we could use some fresh ports of them; if the GBA, which was said to be impossible to run on the Wii, can run full speed with 95% games, surely, the same can be done with PS1. Optimizations need to be made, sure, but it shouldn't be impossible either. It's a matter of finding and rallying people interested.

Is it worth downloading every nightly build as they come out, if I only use QuickNES, NXengine, MGBA, Mednafen VB and Snes9X next, for O3DS 10.1.0.27U?

Update once a day.

 

[Gettwobirdsstone]

Update once a day.

can QuickNES and NXengine get an better?

There aren't that many changes done to the core, but the frontend is continually changing. Whether is worth to update is up to you. Most of the work is not related to a particular platform.
