Homebrew Retroarch Emulation Thread (Nightly Builds Included)

Why do I get the 4096 frames error when I try to load the neo geo emulator? I put the bios files near the roms and I'm using an n3ds on 10.2 with hax 2.5 using ironfall. Using 10/26 nightly

touch the lower part of the touchscreen, you can also bind that to a key or use one of two(?) button combinations.

This info @Slasher115 should put on the main 1st page, together with the info for turning off/on the lower touch screen while in game, by touching the upper part of the touch screen.

Just my two cents.

 

[mightymuffy]

So does the Neo Geo bios file not need to be in the folder containing the FBA Neo Geo 3dsx, as long as it's in the same folder as the roms themselves?

Yeah, same directory as your roms... (OP: Great work, but I think this little bit of info needs fixing )

It asks me for decryption key, can you tell me what is it?

Ooops! Try this instead https://mega.nz/#!7wZERAiL!WH377Cf3wqOC4TnBXx4xAvHE-9_UEjr-INrv5lEDCCo

Thanks a lot!

Is there any advantage, emulation wise, of updating to *hax 2.5? On an old3ds, v9.9

To my knowledge, no there isn't. I'm on 10.1 on o3DS and I can't tell any difference between *hax 2 and *hax 2.5 in terms of peformance.

*hax2.5 is all about memory; no performance gains, it's all in the amount of memory unlocked.
Other than DSP (Sound Processor) access, that's it in terms of emulation-specific extras.

Done and Done

Also I guess DSP will unload some strain on the cpu and help get higher performance from the cpu for the rest of the emulation, guess we'll see

I have the same problem with every cores at the moment :\ (same setup, n3ds 9.0, 2.5 ninjahax)
But I can rely on cias though.

Will do some testing with .3ds rom versions at some point, just to have so imput to share in the op.

"To access the ingame menu, touch the lower part of the lower touch screen.

To turn off the lower screen, touch the lower part of the lower screen. (don't forget to turn it back on before hitting Home IF YOU'RE USING CIAs)
(you can also turn off verbosity, with is on by default with nightly builds)"

There @Slasher115 made mistake, for turning off the touch screen it should be upper part of the lower touch screen.

 

[Azel]

I did the mistake, my bad, did correct it now, thanks

Could someone please test a Golden Sun game on gPSP and tell me if it also freezes/crashes on its system?

 

[Azel]

are you sure your gba bios has the right name and is a good dump. (md5 is in the op)

when is the crash happening?(what are you doing before the crash) which rom are you using? (french? eng?)

alternatively you should consider rom injection since you have a 9.0 new3ds.
(made one for golden sun 2 the other day, works great)

Where did you get your Roms from?
Most rom hosting websites don't give good roms.
Your roms need to be specifically from the FBA v0.2.97.36 Romset.
Google is your friend.

This gba bios is a little PARADISE to use. Although I hope it's a good one.

The crash is happening a few seconds (5 to 20 seconds usually) after launching GS2 (sometimes before even typing the character's name / sometimes after the title screen). The rom is a French one.

My reason for not using injection is using the *.sav files on vbalink, as I want to do link cable transfer between GS1 & 2.

It runs fine for me

 

[RegularMoron]

Damn. Then I really don't know why it's crashing. Are you running it for more than a minute? Is it on a 3dsx build?

I just tried "Golden Sun - The Lost age (UE) (Megaroms)"... other than dropping about 10fps in battles it works fine for me (n3ds, 10.2fw, ironhax2.5, 3dsx from todays nightly)

 

[RegularMoron]

Guess I'll try with another rom version.
Thanks for testing everyone.

 

[Azel]

yeah... well they're known to have the wrong bios, had the same issue when I started using gpsp on psp years ago^^''

makes sense for. sav.
(for transfer you could still screenshot in RA or take a picture if you use an injected rom and write that horribly long password lol)

pretty sure it's bios related, with cia, the English rom woks fine.

j'testerai la rom fr si tu veux, mais j'pense que ça serai pareil.
(could try the french rom if you want, but will prolly be the same)

 

[RegularMoron]

[offtopic]The password is horribly long yeah xD, plus it misses a few things. The link transfer is a complete backup. It's the reel thing. I compared both of these methods when playing it 10 years ago (I had 2 gba at that time)[/offtopic]
