Surprised how good it runs, but it feels like the game is slowed down, but renders neaaarly fullspeed, at least in my tests.

That is just amazing, I am excited to see more in the future. You guys are great

It actually plays suprisingly good, IF it launches like at all.

Not sure if the core just is buggy, or maybe its a good stress test for my code.

I just feel like different cores need slightly different code for some parts.

Btw you should probably try to re-do the makefile. I looked at it (and it sucks ass).

A clean libnx makefile would be nice.

Can you try with video_threaded off and vsync off in Settings->Video ?

It will suck, just wanna know if it will crash

Yeah you’re right I tried to switch off video-threaded and vsync off and it runs both snes and vba but unfortunately There’s no response for all of the buttons at all and the sound is a little bit stutter.

Oh well, that sounds like lots of work for me

BEETLE-PSX TEST RELEASE
Notes: USE AS IS, Audio is disabled via code (else its pure luck right now if the Game starts)
You NEED a BIOS File either in your set BIOS Dir, or in the same Folder as your ROM's
Where you get the BIOS, thats your concern.

Saving does work, load saves does NOT (had to remove it).

Save STATES work fine!

More Information: https://docs.libretro.com/library/beetle_psx/#bios

VSync off could help in certain ROM's

THIS IS A TEST RELEASE, DON'T EXPECT TOO MUCH
THIS MIGHT NOT WORK < 4.1 AS THIS IS THE THREADING BRANCH

FEEDBACK ON PERFORMANCE AND "FEELING" IS REQUESTED
i hope i didn't forget something

Now, how does FPS feel? (vsnyc off too)

I feel like for most parts fps is actually fine, but are the games slowed down or were they always like that?

 

[Twistedziefer]

soo everytime i load a rom i get the grey press a screen. i have the correct bios in a psx folder with the roms. the correct format is cue?
