Homebrew RELEASE Lakka.tv - turn your Switch into a RetroArch powered retrogaming console - includes PSX, N64 and PSP

[m4xw]

Please don't be rude for me asking this question.
I know it's not implemented yet, but has there been any words on if someone is working on the audio yet?

If you think my question is stupid or annoying then please don't reply (or try to stay friendly as you reply)

Not since the last time u asked

Just curious, how would you play DS games on the Switch? Do you just use your fingers to control it? How accurate would you say it is?

And are there gloves so I don't give the LCD screens more fingerprints from my greasy hands than they sometimes have got!?

The DS emulator is very slow right now, but from the little usage I'd say its somewhat accurate, this was testing the melonDS though. I'll try and see how accurate Desmume is

I totally know this is for Lakka but I just wanted to report that using the online updated on home brew retroarch to get the n64 core is not working at all for me

Every single .n64 hard crashes it. Is the same core here the same one being grabbed in the online update inside of the home brew retroarch?

The dreamcast core is not working for me at all (for mvc2 and cvs2) and I have tried using the rar files then the cdi/gdi files and I made sure they were in the roms folder. Also I can't find a complete supported rom list.

EDIT: Apparently I need bios files for dreamcast, where can I find these?

what are the recommened settings for N64 please. I run Super Mario 64 but lots of flickering and glitches. On the title screen the face does not appear - yet ive seen this in a video a few pages back.

Bizarrely, this is fixed by using shaders. For example, enable the sabr shader from within the core settings and the graphical issues including the missing Mario head will be fixed.

In most games, you should disable Framebuffer Emulation for a simple framerate boost. Massive improvement in Ocarina of Time, for example. Also enable Threaded Video in the video settings.

thanks for this. I would love to try it again but for some reason I cant get past the black screen on boot for Lakka. Its like every time i get this, very annoying. Is there a fix now for this?

When I try to load a .cdi file with the Dreamcast core nothing happens. I have bios in the same dir as Tony Hawk 2 but I don't see the setting where I can tell Retroarch where the bios are located as I can with the Atmosphere version. Is only bin/cue supported with this core?

Not really, getting 15FPS at best

Citra team is working on porting citra to android, maybe it will benefit the switch in the future

Guys, everything is working fine. Reicast is wonderfull!!! I have a problem, though: audio won't work…
I followed the guide in the faq, and actually the ssq interface says the device is connected, but still not audio… (I've tried with two devices and the file in boot folder is here).
Can someone help me?

quick edit: airplay doesn't work at all, with the error: "failed to symlink" and "operation failed 34", but from what I've found it's cause of FAT32.

Where do the BIOS files for playstation 1 go?

EDIT: I put them in systems folder but a lot of my roms are not appearing and no ps1 rom will load.

 

[gbazone]

So I got my Dreamcast bios in the right folder but I'm still getting a black screen with the little white X when I try to launch a CDI and then it just brings me back to the interface. Any idea?

Try putting the bios in the same folder as your games?

I've fixed it now, I didn't have the correct bin +cue combonation for my roms.

Im also having trouble getting dreamcast games to work on lakka retroarch. I have a boot.bin and flash.bin bios files. Where did you put them that made it work and are the bios files different for different games? The game im trying is capcom vs snk 2 by the way.

First of all, if you look for the info about reicast core you would know that you need dc_boot.bin and dc_flash.bin.

Put those two files into the DC folder in the bios path and everything would work.

so n64 is more important than dolphin?
this doesnt make sense to me

dolphin requires 64bit and 64bit is the reason other platforms were laggy even if they were using 64bit dolphin would not be usable at most 2 fps
