Homebrew RetroArch Switch

[JJTapia19]

Having problems with this, I used all the files/configs you uploaded plus the new NSP on the latest sxos.

Loaded SM64 and it played like a dream, closed and tried to load NHL99 and it crashed before launch (always worked before but with some lag). Now it fails to load any roms I select including SM64 which initially worked.

Any ideas or advice?

Did you tried closing fully retroarch and launching it again. After I load one game I can't change to others until I restart retroarch fully.

I closed content in game and tried to open a new one without closing/reopening, at which point it crashed. Never had problems doing this on previous versions and setups.

Here is everything you need for the best N64 emulation:
It includes latest Retroarch 1.7.6, NSP forwarder to use full ram, Latest mupen64plus-next with Gliden64 3.0 support and special configs for this core.
You need latest Atmosphere 0.8.5 or latest SX OS 2.6.1 because they have JIT patches.
Extract zip, copy files to MicroSd, install NSP file and launch from home screen not from homebrew launcher.

FOUND THE ISSUE! The mupen 64 plus next NRO in this bundle is out of date. It was behind my latest SVC and is also behind the new nightly and caused my weird graphical oddities. Grab the latest nro if you had any problems like I did. You can still benefit from the settings in the bundle, but otherwise you can always grab the latest retroarch for switch and latest mupen next nro if you have issues.

Open like any normal nsp game you have installed using the icon on the home screen.

Is there a guide for this?.. sorry super new to the switch hacking scene. All I've done is open hbmenu from a different game icon (Pokemon Quest) and then load Retroarch from there.

m4xw's tweet on march 7th has the right SVC NRO that works with SX OS 2.6 (and 2.6.1). for me this one is what makes the difference between restarting issues, graphical glitches, and getting the most speed possible. it works fantastic now for me. try replacing whatever you have in your current cores directory with the one i'm talking about (new user can't link)

The way you describe (launching HBMenu from Pokemon Quest) is the recommended way to open RetroArch. You shouldn't have to do anything else.

Sweet thank you!

Resident Evil 2 running really well now, even has a bit of FF if you don't mind lowering the resolution down a bit

Is there a way to make the item menus on OoT not laggy and crackly?

I just made some Pull Requests for Retroarch Switch that got merged very quickly in just 1 day. Thanks @natinusala, @m4xw, bparker06 and TwinAphex for quick reviews and merges.

My Pull Requests implement the following new features:
- USB Keyboard and Mouse support
- Enable Caprice32 (Amstrad CPC) core

These features should be in the next nightly, whichever one that is.

Note not all mice work on Switch. My Logitech M187 mouse works fine, but many don't (just random button presses on motion).

BTW: @m4xw promised to work on Dosbox dynarec if I did the usb keyboard support, which I did. Just for the record

When you start a game, go back into the RetroArch menu.
Quick Menu, and then go to Options of the game you are playing.
In there you should find all of the options given to you depending on what core you are playing.

At the very top of this Options screen, you should see the name of the game you are playing, right there on the top. Once you are done making your changes in the Options screen, simply click on the game's name, and the settings/options will be saved only for that game in particular.

Edit - nevermind I found the option to bind the quick menu to specific buttons. Thanks all! Okay maybe I'm missing something obvious. But how do you access the quick menu in-game?

Also, the new Mupen core has me running OoT at full speed. Thanks so much!

Thanks for this it's going to help alot with the computer cores and I guess you could now use a mouse as a gun in mame?

The one on the previous page works for me.

Are there any fixes for Pokemon Puzzle League and Pokemon Snap yet? Snap seems to have issues no matter which core I use and Puzzle League just doesn't boot at all.

Check fbemu settings

Check fbemu settings

Yeah checked fbemu for both but nothing.
Tried Mupen64plus aswell as Next/your build..
Overclocked at Max settings and all settings are working perfectly for everything else.

Pokemon Puzzle League boots into a black screen. You can fast forward, load controller etc.. But it just doesn't go anywhere from that black screen.

Pokemon Snap boots up properly on both cores but on Mupen64plus the prof oak results screen gives you black/blank pictures and you can't progress further as it doesn't seem to recognise pokemon pictures.
Mupen64plus-Next you just can't move the camera at all. Even with controller settings changed.
