Homebrew Retroarch Emulation Thread (Nightly Builds Included)

[matt!]

Okay but where is that located? I can't find any video settings in gpsp.

Top Level Menu > Settings > Video

You'll have to step out of Quick Menu, which is the one you see when you bring up the UI whilst playing a game.

If you use MAME 2000

I used that before and it wouldn't let me choose a different game unless I quit and restarted Retroarch. Has that issue been fixed?

 

[ajfoucault]

What happened to the PlayStation emulator that used to come bundle with the latest nightly builds?

 

[Max128]

You still need the Dstwo for DS games but emulator wise RetroArch is better. When it doesn't crash.

Thanks! So the emulator here is better than the dstwo because the dstwo is a DS card i suppose. I have no really need the dstwo for the DS games anymore because i have the gateway 3ds card and with the payload of gateway i can now use the blue card like a DS flashcard for my DS games.

Well if there's a Settings option there... I don't see it. All I see is Quick Menu, Load Core, Load Content, Information, Restart, Configurations, Help, Quit. No video settings anywhere.

You're missing icons for the menu themes, so it's understandable that you don't know that you can push right to get to Settings

That looks like the old XMB menu from pre-1.4. Did you have a retroarch folder before installing version 1.4.x? if so, you might want to delete it and use a fresh one from the latest stable. I had that issue with my friend's 3ds, and that solved it.

He seems to be on 1.4.1, it says in the corner, and it's definitely the new XMB - but there are no icons.

Your recommendation is spot on about starting from a fresh retroarch folder.

Well shit, that explains why I couldn't find it! xD Thank you.

Duly noted! I didn't want to muck with much for fear of losing my saves, but I'll try what you said.

Rename your old folder, copy the fresh one on. Then move your saves and other files over manually. I use CTRXplorer file manager

Okay, thanks!!

It works. It launches the last used core, so you can carry on playing where you left off. And maybe hide away all the cores in a folder.

If it doesn't work for you, something is wrong.

So I still have to have the cias for the other individual emulators installed? I don't get it.

The CIAs are the individual emulator apps. Each has the capability (core) of running games from a particular system.

However, the RetroArch one is a shortcut, with no direct emulation capability, just a menu system, that launches a specific CIA emulator app when you choose a game. It's mostly clever enough to figure out what system your ROM is for, if it can't quite decide it'll show you a few options and you have to pick a system.

I agree it could be clearer. I asked the same question when I upgraded to 1.4.x

 

[TimX24968B]

I just keep saves on the root of the SD, never have to worry about the retroarch folder being deleted.

yes, however, this happened to my friend, where her retroarch was on 1.4.1, and since she had an old retroarch folder, the old menu showed up. I saw people pages back say to change the menu to XMB, and I tried that, which resulted in that menu seen there.

any improvements on GPSP Crashes?

greetings

The Retro Launcher isn't working for me, but the individual cias (cores) work fine. I also noticed that I'm not the only person with this issue on libretro's forums.

it crashes less than 1.4.0 still bad

Strange, sorry. You need to launch an individual emulator before using it, but from that line on you should be good. Works for me.

So, question: has the PS1 emulator improved at least a little? I remember using it like a year ago on my N3DS, and most games worked, but not so well (bad sound and fps, you know). I know it can't be perfect, just asking.

That's not been much progress, but I find it works well enough with Clock+L2 on in Luma.
