Homebrew Retroarch Emulation Thread (Nightly Builds Included)

[pdapanda]

Question, guys: I set up gpsp on my husband's n3ds and it keeps kicking back the error: "Does not have enough samples for moniter refresh rate estimation. Requires to run for at least 4096 frames." It then freezes and we have to restart the 3ds.

It's from the Nov. 14 build, and it's being run on a N3DS on 10.3 through Ironhax.

Set sound driver to csnd and have another try.

is there a advantage of using dsp?

No, it's still kicking back the same error.

Anyone know what is going on with the CIA Latest Build??? ALL Cores do NOT work. Open it up and can not do anything. Frame Counter goes up and FPS adjust, but other than that, nothing. Menu is present but can not go Up, Down, A or B.

Did you update your Gateway card?

 

[Verboten]

Where do I find PocketSNES?

 

[Smoker1]

Did you update your Gateway card?

Yes. Latest Gateway

 

[raystriker]

I get the same error too, any fix?

 

[Drak0rex]

Yes. Latest Gateway

But did you update the card? Not just the launcher.

Need Internet or just Update through the GW Menu?

Out of curiosity, what's the average framerate I should expect from PCSX ReARMed .cia on a 9.2 CFW o3DS? I plan on testing out MGS and maybe Chrono Cross.

I've tested it with Crash Bandicoot and it gives me 24-29fps on the title screen, and 15-23fps on the first stage.

@aliaspider So a handful of emulators including catsfc and gpsp will not work for me anymore, they will start loading up and never reach the retroarch menu, the bottom code says
RetroArch (INFO) :: port dir: sdmc:/retroarch/
redirecting save file to <3.srm, <3.state
retroarch (warn) libretro_path is a directory, using this for libretro_directory instead.

And whenever i enter and exit the retroarch screen during a game with the video setting to fullscreen it freezes any emulator.

Set your sound driver to CSND，I'm pretty sure the dsp will freeze the emulators at once.

When can we look forward to a fix for vertical games, and maybe even dual screen display for them?

Would love to see this as well! Especially for Wonderswan games! I was trying to get the analog stick + dpad to work as movement + buttons in book mode however I can not seem to map the inputs properly.

Also having an onscreen keyboard for FMSX would be a lifesaver! Setting the hotkey for onscreen keyboard sadly doesn't do anything yet

If anyone is having problems with game save (SRAM) not working. I was able to fix it by making my own folder for saves and then setting that directory as the save location in retroarch. I just used SD:/RetroSaves

I did even deleted my config, some emulators still wont load

By the sounds of what's happening atm I don't think I'll be changing my Nightly atm

Delete the config won‘t help you, the emulator tend to use dsp by default.
