Homebrew Retroarch Emulation Thread (Nightly Builds Included)

[hippy dave]

Is there anything special that needs to be done to use DSP? Do I need to use DSP dumper and do something with the file created for Retroarch to take advantage of it?

Just run DSP dumper. It will leave the file in the right place for retroarch to use it.

Is there a specific nightly that is worth using or is the stable build still the way to go?
Still get awful screen-tearing on GBA and SNES games. Can't see myself playing anything but RPGs at the current state.

So way back when I was complaining about lag on PC-Engine CD stuff. Turns out that only happens when the emulator is playing CD Audio. (New 3DS, trying to play Drac X on a BIN/CUE format. CIA version of the game.)
Anything I can do to get the audio streaming to be faster, short of using a different SD card?

Is there a way to mod PocketSNES into its own virtual console that games can be injected into like what's been done with blargSNES? It'd be great to have special chip SNES games as their own icons on the home menu like Dreamland 3 and SMRPG, which run fullspeed on New 3DS.

how's pce on o3ds these days? and which is the last stable one?

 

[SG6000]

PCE doesn't run well on O3DS.

The only playable O3DS PC Engine emulation is on CFW via ROM injection into the official PCE VC, but this solution has limited compatibility. PC Engine CD emulation is out of the question for O3DS.

yeah, i noticed... i dont really get why though, when nitrografx on the original DS runs most games at fullspeed, how come this cant be replicated on 3ds?

I think Mednafen PC Engine is supposed to be very accurate (hence the slower speed) whereas the PCE VC emulator is regarded to be less accurate and surprisingly buggy (despite having a feature-rich front end).

Perhaps there should be a call for a port of nitrografx (specifically for O3DS users)..? Enough demand? Feasable? I have no idea..

i mean, i get that the retroarch team wants accuracy and nitrografx has some sound issues, but as far as o3ds is concerned, this is never going work out.
tbh, o3ds' only chance is people working on standalone optimized emulator ports

hello
I am stupid, i cannot see the CIAs, anyone can point me to a link?

Also, snes9x2005 nightly gives me a weird vsync issue, it-s not updating the whole screen right, shall i revert to the stable?

 

[ShadowOne333]

Are the latest gpSP builds still buggy to install them?

 

[NuikopeaDemon]

I havent updated this in a long time!
Whats the best nightly update or should I use the stable release....?

 

[Osakasan]

I was about to ask exactly the same

I haven't updated the .cias since the last stable build. Has there been some improvement? Are the lastest nightlies worthy of installing? Any performance improvements on the o3DS side?

There hasn't been any improvements on O3DS.

 

[NuikopeaDemon]

There hasn't been any improvements on O3DS.

what about N3DS???

 

[Osakasan]

There hasn't been any improvements on O3DS.

Well...

I know i'm not in position to claim anything since i'm anything but a programmer.

But seriously how come the o3DS is still being ignored?

Because there hasn't been a single developer that want to do heavy modifications to the cores.

Also nowadays, no one is working on fixing the bugs of the actual cores.

This was being maintained only by Aliaspider but he disappeared.

I would say the o3DS is basically DEAD now sadly

its just too slow to run homebrew stuff nowadays
thats what I think

Well, at least there are people working on standalone ports like the snes9x port for O3DS, without speed hacks it can run a bunch of games to 60 fps.
