Hacking Emulation RetroArch/Libretro Thread: PS Vita Edition! Nightlies Included

[Lord M]

@frangarcj why hacks of sf3rd strike doesn't load in FBA?

 

[wakabayashy]

So do we install all cores as usual and also the Retroarch one?

or just the Retroarch one?

What is the benefit of the separate Retroarch bubble?

same question here ^^

 

[themyst]

Does anyone know if FBA has dynarec? I'm holding out hope that performance can be improved for the non-CPS/NG roms.

edit: the Snes9x core could also use a speed bump for the chipped games.

Try vba next

Now I can play Rythm Tengoku with good sound.
Thanks!

remove all the other apps and remove all the retroarch files from the data/retorarch folder (other than save files). all the cores are included inside the retorarch.vpk but it is not compatible with the older files and will not see any cores unless you delete all old files. as for benefits you only have 1 app instead of many different apps the performance is still the same

It's better to remove your ux0:/data/Retroarch folder and start from nothing. Do a backup first of your savestates

After deleting the folder and installing the all in one retroarch , I'm getting a failed to save config ux0 when I try to change the file browser default location and saving it

Anybody else ?

Also the history tab crashes when you load a game in the retroarch.vpk

I'm going to guess you are one of the people who never restart their vita and one of the problems that that causes is sometimes folders like to get locked up denying access until you restart

I rebooted the pstv already , didn't fix the problem

Dynarec can't be magically added to every core. Most cores don't support it because it has to be done per-core, and for specific processors.

The dynarec support for PCSX, gpSP etc. weren't coded for the Vita specifically, they are optimisations that were backported because they happened to support the Vita's ARM CPU. Regular FBA doesn't support dynarec, so the Vita version never will.

reading vitahacks, I'm not the only one with save current config not working in retroarch.vpk

this is a bad news. So we'll never see a fullspeed FBA?

I have a query relating to saving games, specifically in PCSX ReARMed. It seems that whenever I attempt to save any game I have played, I close Retroarch and re-open it only to find that my savedata is no longer detected in any of the games I played.

Is this a known issue? I believe I don't see it listed in the OP, so hopefully it's just a fixable user error...
Thank you for any help and advice!

Basically, I save my game like normal, then I close via PS Button. Is that where I'm going wrong then?
