Homebrew Retroarch Emulation Thread (Nightly Builds Included)

[kenseiden]

Thanks, I'm using wave with cue, don't have bin. Do you have sonic cd working with proper audio? Just want to confirm it is possible or if we have to wait on an update?

I probably should have been more clear in my initial post, but disc images with external sound files (WAV, MP3, OGG, etc) won't play CD audio in Retroarch cores. BIN/CUE disc images will work because the audio is part of the BIN disc image and therefore will play the CD audio when you load the CUE file in Retroarch. So yes, you'll get proper music in Sonic CD on the Genesis/Mega Drive Retroarch cores (Gen Plus GX and Picodrive) if you use a BIN/CUE image.

Will the screenshot feature be fixed？ It‘s now difficult to take screen shot with CFW.

 

[Radius4]

what's the problem with it?

Well ，the screenshot option doesn’t really work on 3DS， I think it would be nice if added.

That doesn't explain the problem, I don' have a 3ds, what's happening

Any idea on when the retroarch emulators will stop freezing when switching games?

Should I get the stable or the Nightly build? What's the difference?

So just to confirm, the cia versions will work on a 10.6 emunand and regardless of what firmware.bin version you are using, right? Just checking because some things that require kernel access (like NTR) don't.

The nightly builds are newer but may have more bugs. You should just use the nightly builds unless a big issue gets reported here. Stable builds are going be be very infrequent so you'll miss out on new updates.

No reason why it shouldn't.

Quick question: Anyone know how to compile a build? If so, can you please make a guide?

Yes, I too would like to know. I did as the windows tutorial suggests but get errors of missing files when compiling in windows.

Can someone advise please what the dependencies are other than win32?

The latest nightlies seem to be working fine again for me.
I am using the .cia versions. (see my signature for my current setup.)

There are no problems with your RetroArch in CIA Installed on EmuNAND? Seeming like it is only Gateway EmuNAND that is having issues.

Still crashes unfortunately, it lasted a long time this time, but still..

Well I wouldn't say that there are NO problems but atleast we are past the load content freezing point. Sometime when I am playing Leaf Green it just suddenly freezes like it did for me last night and kicks me to the Home Menu and forces me to reboot. Which really sucks because I did alot of playing and was saving every other minute and got pretty far but for some odd reason it disregarded my save and kicked me back to my original starting save when I first started playing. It really sucks man..

Yeah I did for me last night. Sometime when I am playing Leaf Green it just suddenly freezes like it did for me last night and kicks me to the Home Menu and forces me to reboot. You're right it isn't perfect yet.

Oddly enough, I haven’t had any crashes playing casltevania/metroid/FF6/mm battle network since the load content issue was fixed. maybe it's just pokemon? I know Golden Sun and a couple other games had crashing issues, don't know if that's been fixed since I last tested.

As for you're save, retroarch only writes the SRAM files if you exit via the 'quit retroarch' menu option, otherwise (homemenu, crashes) it won't - If a crash is possible, it's also best to make savestates as well as regular saves as those are written on creation and will survive a crash.

where can i finde infos on the best psx emu setup for new 3ds with cia?

Regarding ROM crashes, correct me if I am wrong, is there any way to verify a ROM version to see if it is an"original" copy? and not a Revision or whatnot. Just to make sure I am using the correct ROM and original version of it's original release.

Thanks for the heads up on Retroarch only writing SRAM files if I 'quit retroarch'. I'll start to use a bit of both SaveStates and In game saves to help me keep track of my progress without losing gametime.

EDIT:
Yeah I am definitely still experiencing crashing on the latest nightly with gpsp. Random crashing and kicking me to the HomeMenu giving me a force restart error. I wonder if I have a bad ROM. I wish there was a way to find out if your ROM is legit?
