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

[Lord M]

MAME 2003
Once a Game is Started, go to the Quick Menu (L+R+Start+Select), go to Options, scroll down to Cheats On/Off. Then you need to Exit the Core, and Enter it again. Now also make sure to go to Pugsy Cheat and grab Cheat081. Not sure which one, either Rename to cheat.zip or take the cheat.dat, but you need to take this and place it..........not sure. I just dropped both into the Retroarch/System Directory, retroarch/system/mame2003, and retroarch/cheats , just to be sure. Then the Cheats should work.

no way to use cheats on FBA?

 

[Simando]

Has anyone got DosBox working with the inputs?

Cheats are one of those things that you need to refer to the Libretro wiki to get baseline information for.

In this case, the answer is a resounding "no."

 

[IpsoFact0]

I think that is a documented problem, when the vita sleeps PCSX freezes on the next disc reading

are they working on fixing this? besides this bug this emulator exceeds expectations

I see...
But why? The core are a sort of porting of original emulator, right? And the original FB Alpha emu allow cheats.
And anyway i asking for "another method" like the MaMe; maybe the libretro wiki intend the normal RA cheat function (via .cht file)

P.S: and anyway the wiki said that even pcsx and vba next allow cheats, but codes dont work, so... why not FBA would be opposite?

I notice that the wonderswan color emulator used to be 95+% fullspeed now it's like 60%.

 

[themyst]

Looks like some FBA speedhacks have been implemented over the past few days. Can anyone confirm?

 

[IpsoFact0]

Save config not working on pstv?? using same 10-17 build it saves on Vita fine but not on PSTV? no account tied onto PSTV does that have something to do with it?

Been wondering about this for a while. Why have a Cheats Directory if it is not going to be utilized???

Oh yeah, by the way: AWESOME work on the PSX Emulation. Works beautifully. Tested Hydro Thunder and handles perfectly. Going to later see if I can get the Disk Change/Swap going

I have no interest in Wonderswan, but if there's a regression, you should definitely report it on their github.

There're 2 games you need to play for wonderswan:

--Dicing Knight

and

Rockman.exe

But good idea, I'll report it on the github.

Is CPS3 functional in the FBA Core (All-in-One)?

 

[themyst]

10/19 retroarch aio has a major stability regression. crashes the vita into safe mode every time I try to load a rom. happens in both gpsp and FBA.

anyone else notice?

Yes. Not fullspeed (about 39-45 fps), but is still playable
P.S: Someone can tell me if pcsx savestate function is still w.i.p or this is the final speed of save/load state? I mean: any hope to have instant save/load like other system that have psx emulator?

 

[dante-feline]

Latest nightly of PCSX rearmed is crashing on me. No error code or anything, just a straight-up crash. "An error has occured. The PS Vita system will be powered off."
Also curious about overclocking in retroarch. Would that help performance? and is it already implemented?

Thanks for the report guys, i pushed it to retroarch issues. @twinaphex says its a font refactor commit issue. They're on the hunt already!
As long they didn't fixed it, please stick with 16.10.2016 or lower

 

[deathblade200]

the crash and performance issues probably have to do with them attempting to use NEON

 

[Kerbangman]

Does that mean possibly higher res?

 

[IpsoFact0]

so no one has save config issues as i previously stated on this thread?
