Homebrew [RetroArch] Nightly builds here!

[ArugulaZ]

I have... not heard about that! Okay, in that case I'll just wait. Thanks for the heads up.

gpSP got a major speed boost on o3DS, Pokemon Ruby runs almost full speed, and Kirby and the Amazing Mirror runs at full speed. WarioWare Inc. was like 9 FPS though.

I don't notice any differences. There are no changes on the github repository either

I'm having trouble running gpsp. Its the only nightly emu that I just cant seem to get to load roms. It keeps failing to load the bios image. Does it need to be anywhere in particular?

Edit: Just kidding, found what I was doing wrong. Works just about as well as mGBA does on old 3ds, even for Ruby and Amazing Mirror, around 15-25 fps.

Got Neogeo working! thanks to @ArugulaZ and @Rj.MoG

Came to back to, indeed, Neo-Geo finally getting a ROM size compatibility boost.......
Buuuut 3dsx CPS2 had it's graphics renderer broken in the process. Nothing but audio.
But MVSC boots properly now at least. :/

Oh look, and PCE CD loading is now broken too!
Bah...

I just had to catch up with the last 25 pages of this thread since I last visited just to find this post so I know it's not just me having the CPS2 graphics renderer problem. Strange that it's only affecting some of the roms though (mvc=sound only, but xmvsf works fine).
I've rolled back again to an earlier, fully compatible, build for the time being.

Really pleased with NeoGeo compatibility now though - getting to play Last Blade on my n3ds rocks!

On neogeo is there a way to open service menu? I want to turn blood on for metalslug

 

[pdapanda]

If you are using unibios，press Start+Select in game

 

[Stack3r]

So some of the games show the error BurnMalloc@src/burner/libretro/3ds/burn_memory.c:56 what does this mean?
Also when i do start select on the corner it says universalbios and only has 3 options it doesnt have the one like on youtube

 

[ArugulaZ]

Anyone know where the BIOS file is supposed to be located for gpSP? I've put it in a half dozen places and still, no dice. This thing is making me blow my top.

sdmc:/retroarch/cores/system/gba_bios.bin

Brilliant! Thanks!

I was on a very old build before, so maybe it just gradually improved.

Load up a NeoGeo Game, press the Screen when Game is loaded, go to Core Options, Enable UniBIOS, Exit App. Load up Game again, when UniBIOS Menu shows up press B, C, and D at the same time to access BIOS Menu.

FCEUMM and Nestopia do. The disksys.rom file goes in retroarch/cores/system folder.

As a note, FDS saves don't seem to work in FCEUMM from what I can tell. (Savestates are fine, however)

The FBA cores say they're v0.2.97.28 but would a romset for v0.2.97.36 work?

 

[TeconMoon]

My experiences with Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga: New Nintendo 3DS on 10.2 IronHax

• mgba: Runs at full-speed (wow!) but crashes at the first Bowser fight.
• gpsp: Runs at full-speed during battles, but seems to stutter a bit anytime you aren't in a fight.

Definitely not trying to complain, just figured I'd post my results Looking forward to see where all this goes.

Yes, I've been using the latest FBA romset with no problems. The changes between the build used by RA and the current official FBA aren't concerned with CPS1+2 or NeoGeo (aside from possibly some additional clones in the newer set - but it's probably best to only bother with 'parent' roms in RA anyway, or it can get confusing as to what files you need on your card).

FBA do regularly sync their ROMsets with MAME's, so it wouldn't strictly be necessary for any changes to CPS/Neo Geo in FBA to occur before ROMs change if anything changed on the MAME side. But yeah, generally as long as your ROMs are from a fairly similar version number, the odds of ROMs having changed in that time (even including MAME syncs) are pretty low.

Are the FBA cores usable on O3DS? I know the O3DS has less RAM than the N3DS. I'm on 4.5FW.
