I'll post a video showing that screwed up I am doing ! Because locked to that stage
Dude, I have completed both Doom & Doom II, I can assure you that you DON'T need any jump controls.
Doom never had it.

Here's a video of what you should do:


While both games don't have a jump button, they do have a sprint button (or run button), all you have to do is press the sprint button, then run at full speed towards the window, that's it.

Correct, you just run full speed, no jumping in Doom

That's not how the game works. Doom has no 'jump' and never has. To clear such large gaps, you have to run - that makes your character 'float' over the gap. You do need a clear run-up though.

Just hope at some point, there will be a GZDoom for N3DS so Users can run Doom like a current FPS Game.

Well, just regular ZDoom at least, considering it'd be more work to fully port over the graphical prerequisites for the GPU. Software rendering first, m'boy.

Just to confirm with everyone else, no NES builds currently run Zelda 1 or 2, correct?

Erm, I'm pretty sure all the NES emulators in RetroArch play Zelda 1 and 2 just fine. The NES isn't exactly a demanding system unless you're trying to do fancy custom stuff in a hack or something.

I see the mednafen pce fast emulator still crashes hard when you exit (or even just close content) after playing a game, where would be the place to file that issue? I know it's been an issue for a long time (ex. mentioned on this thread from early October '15 - http://libretro.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4123). Kinda sucks, it forces the 3ds to reboot.

Is this something that should be filed to the https://github.com/libretro/beetle-pce-fast-libretro/issues, or https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues? Or somewhere else?

btw, playing this, really great castlevania game fan translated from japanese to english -- http://www.theisozone.com/downloads...-no-rondo-100-complete-translation-isowavcue/ -- plays well on n3ds in pce fast, just that crash & reboot on exit is annoying.

Yes yes, I know the NES isn't demanding, especially on an N3DS using CIA builds. My question wasn't about speed or performance, it was about the capacity to use a certain ROM. If an NES core doesn't support a particular ROM, it will be displayed as "NES.NES" when a user attempts to load content. My question was if perhaps others had experienced the same thing.

Well, considering how Brutal Doom runs on an Nvidia SHIELD with the Android port of GZD...
Eh. :unsure:
Actually if you get the Controls set up right, it works pretty good. Shield Portable Controls are great. GPD XD Controls......need a bit of tweaking and getting the Sensitivity just right for the Joysticks. But if properly set, should run like a PC FPS Game.

Regardless, the games you mentioned both work.

hello my friends
Please someone could show me where to download all the bios for retroarch
thanks for attention
Most BIOS files are copyrighted, so no download links for you from here.
Though, heres a tip: Just search for psx bios files on google or the like, its rather easy to find them like that.

    @BigOnYa, and since the default emulator is below average i downloaded some "replacements" like snes9x for snes games for example
    +1
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    And I also have my ps3
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea ps3 is a beast still to today compared to most "sticks"
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you just want pi for emulation no point when Anbernic releases new shit every two seconds
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.
    +1
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
