Added to the OP. Thanks
I added a tagline to both GenPlus and Mame mentioning they don't seem to load ROMs at the moment.
I like Gen Plus GX more, dunno why.
If Gen Plus added 32x support it would blow PicoDrive out of the water for sure :lol:

Which version of mame did you compile ? Which romset must be used ?

Isn't it supposed to be:
sd:/switch/mame2000-libretro/mame2000-libretro.nro

I am not sure if that's how it should go, afaik that's the way it should.
Or do you mean the structure for ROMs?
Be careful with the ROMs though, as even the tiniest change in Romset will make Mame go apeshit and crash.
Try compiling Mame 2003 and find a ROM like the Simpsons (4 player).
That one is known to work on 2003, perhaps even 2000.

What's holding us up with normal saving?
Libtransistor doesn't have writing permissions yet I believe.
Only read right now from SD.
I think @roblabla is working on writing to SD, which should make saving possible.

One way to try this out would be to put a savefile inside sd:/retroarch/cores/savefiles/ with the same name as the ROM you will boot.
Then boot the game and see if it detects the save file on boot.
If it does, then it's because of permissions that we cannot create/overwrite saves.

I'll attempt asking him as quote what he said in response as soon as he does.

EDIT:
Well he seems to mention having no clue how RetroArch works, so he doesn't know exactly where the code for writing the saves is at.
I sent him two files where I believe the default path is set at, so hopefully that helps him.
He said "maybe I didn't try hard enough", so perhaps it's just a matter of him getting the hang of it :P

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.
