PPSSPP/Libretro Switch Public Beta by m4xw
==========================================

After a lot of work, I am very happy to share this with all of you.
Audio & Video support works, many core options cause Issues tho.

It is mandatory to "Close Content" after changing any Core option and restarting RetroArch, else it will potentially crash, don't close the RetroArch menu!

Special thanks to hrydgard for everything he has done for the PPSSPP Project.
If you want to support his work, consider buying PPSSPP Gold https://central.ppsspp.org/buygold even if you don't use it!

I will PR it once the libretro port is finished, also implemented half of what's needed for a Standalone port
Source is on my Github, but it's highly WIP and needs a custom RA and a custom ffmpeg, so you should just wait if you want to build it yourself

Installation Instructions
==========================================

Drag & Drop the "retroarch" folder to the root of your SD, overwriting any file (it will not touch any options).
Assets are bundled, so you don't have to bother with that.

Notes
==========================================

If you are using ANY method of loading RetroArch OTHER than Atmosphere's title redirection feature, DO NOT report issues that you encounter.
These issues can skew testing and could very well be caused by loading through an unsupported method.

Video slowdowns are related to missing hardware accelerated decoding (nvdec), it's not a libretro/PPSSPP Issue.
FMV cut-scenes will be fine.

Updates
==========================================

Added JIT and JIT Vertex Decoder Support
- When loading Savestates with JIT, make sure to instantly open the RetroArch Menu again and wait for it to complete loading
- This is a libretro specific bug (not switch port related) and will be fixed later on

==========================================

-Added Vertex JIT Core option (turning it off fixes some games currently)
-Added Disable slow Framebuffer effects Core option (Speedhack)
-Increased Savestate Chunk size to 4MB (speeds up savestate load, ~2sec)
-Band-Aid for Savestate load + Save (no more opening menu for them to work)
-Renamed "IR JIT" to "IR Interpreter"
-Removed Threaded IO Core option (non-functional)
-Removed Non-Buffered Rendering Core option (non-functional)
-General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience.

I’m using the nsp forwarder on sx os 2.6.1 and retroarch and this core are working just fine. Well, as fine as this core runs right now anyway.

To get the full ram? Because that's what the person you quoted me quoting was asking.

Yes I get full RAM access, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to run this core or the n64 core.

Thats not what I meant I think you're not understanding. He wanted to know if you could use a retroarch forwarded game to get full ram. I said you need a Switch game. You know the game you hold R on? It has to be a switch game not a forwarder I believe

He’s asking if he can use the nsp that forwards to the retroarch nro, and I’m confirming that it works fine for full RAM access on SX OS 2.6.1.

 

[EmulateLife]

I think you're wrong but I'm not going to derail the thread anymore. You didn't read what was posted before that.

 

[the_randomizer]

Well, at least this will get more development than the Wii U version ever got.

Thanks for making this possible I’ll wait for crisis core support

crisis core works, it's just a bit slow. Playable if you have the patients of a monk.

Project Diva extend is *almost* ok if you max out the clock speed.

Slighty off topic but anyone got a list of PSP games that were fan translated?

It's a fairly easy thing to find on Google, when you search "Fan Translated PSP Games" here's a fairly updated list on WikiBooks of a lot of the Completed/Active/Etc fan made translations.

https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/PSP/Translation_Projects

(NOTE: This includes Transcripts, and Video related translations, as well as Game Patching translations, it's not hard to determine which is which, but keep that in mind when looking at the list)

 

[DemetriusBlack]

Is there a 60fps patch for persona 3?

 

[aerios169]

amm where i can download, sorry i dont lnow anything about to make the buill...

 

[Deleted User]

Danganronpa works fine even without overclock

what? There's a link in the OP.

 

[DemetriusBlack]

When I try and raise the resolution on Persona 3 it crashes Retroarch. Any fix?

 

[SG911]

Dumb question, but can that redirect nsp. For retroarch be used for this?

 

[onofrix]

Outrun 2006 works like a charm with jit!

 

[JJTapia19]

Games that rely on 2D look like HD Remasters when you set the internal resolution to 1920x1088 and run flawless with OC on high (No max necessary). It's truly amazing,
Check out this comparisons.

Gotta give it time it was released to patreons like 3 days ago to the public today. The thread calls it a beta for a reason. The n64 started about the same now practically every game works.

 

[TimeDevouncer]

I have a little problem.

I'm trying to run Tactics Ogre at full speed, and I change speedhack options and graphic options, now i can't load any psp game, all of them crashes, return to HBL and after that, error code and restart.

I try to erase ppsspp.cfg, reinstall the core, but this error persists (only ppsspp), any help please?

Firm 6.2 with last Hekate & Kosmos. Full Ram access.

Sorry for my bad english.
