Homebrew Retroarch Emulation Thread (Nightly Builds Included)

yup, not just you :\
try mgba maybe ? or rom injection.

No rom injection for me, I'm on Gateway. I was using mgba before, I'll just switch back to that until this is more stable.

I do I use nxengie to play Cave Story? What file do I select when I press load content?

any of them. Doukutsu.exe, Orgmaker.exe, or Gameconfig.exe.

I'm on gateway too but you prolly can use a custom fw that can enable gba injection via theme hax or something

Where do the bios and roms go (ie GBA)? I'm installing the CIAs...

The games go wherever you want (on my N3DS I just toss them in /roms/Gameboy-Advance). The BIOS goes in /retroarch/cores/system.

Thanks!

Followup. Do you know how well Super Mario All Stars + Super Mario World (the game) runs on the N3DS, CIA?

It would depend on the emulator you're using, but CatSFC Plus should run that particular game fine, with better sound than regular CatSFC (it always has audio that's way too high pitched). I've not tried Snes9x Next with SMW/All Stars. The only thing you have to watch out for is that the controls won't work in the games unless you turn on the joypad swap (this is the only game that does it for whatever reason). Go to the Quick Menu -> Core Options -> Swap Joypads -> Enabled.

Unless it's been fixed recently, CatSFC has issues with Super Mario All Stars + SMW that BlargSNES does not have. You'll have to do what daxtsu suggested to get it to work properly.

I'm using the regular one and not plus. Does that help, er...?

Both Cat and Plus are affected by it. I suggest using plus when it runs your games full speed anyway, because it has much, MUCH better audio than regular Cat. When it doesn't, use BlargSNES or regular Cat (as a last resort. The audio in regular Cat is bad).

Is it just me, or does gpsp freeze a lot? I'm running the cia on my n3ds on emunand 9.5.

Are you using DSP audio? That causes freezing in gpSP

 

[Fatalanus]

N3DS:
gpsp.cia: aspect ratio broken, I guess. A really small window in 4/3. Same for gambatte.cia.

GREAT JOB ON THE TEARING ISSUE GETTING FIXED ON Genesis+DX.cia!!! 99% of the issue is gone, ou sorted this out!! It's just pure pleasure now. Thank you so much!

Gpsp - Location retroarch/cores/system

• gba_bios.bin (16384 bytes large, MD5 sum: a860e8c0b6d573d191e4ec7db1b1e4f6) (IT'S EASY TO FIND A FAULTY BIOS, SO PLEASE CHECK)

We put it in the 1st post

Happy Halloween everyone, have a 2spoopy7me night!

 

[ShadowOne333]

You know what'd be great?
If there was an app that downloads the latest nightlyand/or latest known stable nightly from libretro's page and puts the files in the 3ds folder.

Having to get the card out of a N3DS often to get the nightlies is a pain. xD
And no, wireless transfer built in the 3DS s not an option due to how slow it is.

 

[Deleted User]

It's a known bug, yes. It also happens in other homebrews like GameYob.

Actually that was fixed a while ago, at least in source. You just need to listen for the resume APT hook and restore the proper GPU state. (configuration, textures, shaders, uniforms, etc)

@ShadowOne333 If transferring over the network isn't an option then how is downloading and extracting directly on the 3DS (inherently transferring over the network) any better? That will surely take ages.

I was confusing the 3DS wireless connection with FTP homebrew, sorry. xP
