Homebrew Retroarch Emulation Thread (Nightly Builds Included)

[730]

depends what emulators you're using. I know that gpSP and PCSX-ReARMed use dynarec, and some others.

I tried CATSFC Plus, guess that one doesn't have it.
Is there an SNES core that uses dynarec (and has good audio like CATSFC Plus, cause apparently others fuck up the FF6 audio or just run it at like half speed)?

I don't think so, yet.

nevertheless they might still be a little bit faster due to "L2 cache" or something in the New3DS processor.

try something like gpSP which I mentioned. in particular, you can play Pokémon FR/LG with the 3dsx, then cia.

Eh for GBA I'll eventually set up the whole injection thing. What I do wanna try is PEPSIMAAAAAN

I don't really think GBA injection is that good since it has poor visuals (motion blur for example) and emulation is much easier to set up. gpSP as .cia on New3DS can run pretty much any game flawless in my experience.

Welp shit, then I'll reconsider.

I got the ambassador games when Nintendo was giving them out so I've played them quite a bit...

not only that but they seem a bit dimmer. someone told me they're trying to emulate the GBA or so...

Technically it's emulating a DS that's emulating a GBA.

it looks like crap basically.

Runs badly too. Ambassador GBA titles have to be run from the CPU core that handles the 3DS OS. That's why you can't suspend GBA titles, because the OS isn't running in the background like normal games do.

it's called AGB_FIRM. the positive side is the 3DS "has GBA hardware in it"(???) and so it actually doesn't have many or any emulation-related bugs.

So I am on 10.3 and PCSX-ReARMed runs at 17 fps. Anything I could do to fix that? Thanks

assuming New3DS: downgrade to 9.2 and install as .cia to emunand or something. there's no other way right now...

Pepsiman runs at 36 FPS, I'm speechless. Now if it runs like this right now, imagine the future, ohh boyyy....

 

[Lokao0]

Okay, so I already tried about 6 builds of the .cias and I can't get the PCSX ReARMed core to work no matter what I do. It always gives me a black screen then returns to the home menu and then the console reboots.
Whenever I try using those same builds on the .3dsx version though, they work just fine. I already tried deleting the retroarch.cfg file but nothing. Am I doing something wrong or should I just keep trying other builds?

So no one knows what might be causing the above?

Is there a benefit to being on 9.2? Is it worth the downgrade?

kernel exploit lets you do pretty much anything you want like installing homebrew and games as .cia

I will research it tomorrow thanks ihaveamac

Is there a list of cores with dynarec support and a list of cores with DSP audio support?

 

[Hammyface]

Has anyone yet figured out why none of the SNES emulators will show up in the Homebrew Channel? They are in the right directories and their filenames are correct.

Not all emulators will use dynarec. It depends on how they're coded to do emulation, though dynarec is rather popular with RetroArch cores it seems. All the cores might be designed for it, I haven't really taken a look at them. Anyway, my point is try out the cores yourself. If you only use ones with dynarec support, you might miss out on ones that run fullspeed regardless.

As for DSP audio, that's more of a driver issue. It just needs more work.
