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

GitHub (Official): https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp

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 just like my Metal Gear and Zelda games

C64 is now Fullspeed! and PS Minis seem to work too.

I tested Yu-Gi-Oh! Tag Force Special edition. With no sound and max overclocking works 60 fps most of the time, but in duel, I never reached under 30 which is quite impressive for a first version of the ppsspp lib on the switch. Keep up the good work guys!

 

[EmulateLife]

Interesting, would it be better to get PSP PS1 eboots if they're multi disc games due to disc swapping?

 

[Rahkeesh]

If you're talking about running PS1 games through PPSSPP that doesn't work. You can run those through PSX-rearmed, even in eboot format.

If you want to use an eboot containing PSP digital games or the handful of multi-disc ones, it *might* work, there is some eboot support but its not been thoroughly tested.

 

[mammoth_dream]

almost every game i try just boots to a black screen with the sound after i'm using the newest patreon version, i'm assuming i'm doing something wrong. anyone have advice?

BUT now the english patch version of Digimon adventure works which is pretty great

 

[ploggy]

Crash of the Titans is Fullspeed with x2 res and 1 OC and Mind Over Mutant is Fullspeed with x2 res and full OC

 

[cucholix]

In MGS Peace Walker the text showing the voice actors is cut off out the screen, for example it should say “Tara Strong”, but only “Tara Str” is visible, someone mentioned a file needed to show the font correctly

While in game go to retroarch options, try to turn off both the speedhacks, save the cfg (first option of options), close content, and retry the game. Not 100% sure it'll fix that for that game but it helped with other games that had text problems.

You need a real PSP to get those fonts you're talking about that may or may not be the problem though. It didn't fix my problem with two of my games but turning off speedhacks did

Here just in case i'll upload mine unzip it and then it needs to go in /retroarch/cores/system/ppsspp/flash0/

I have the file flash0 into that path, I also disabled speedhacks, but the text still out the bounds, seems like the font is bigger than it should.

 

[EmulateLife]

The fonts that come with ppsspp are different than the fonts I gave you. You have to override them with the font I gave. I'll still not 100% it'll fix your problem but worth a try. It won't break anything but if you want to be extra careful you can cut the font folder out of your sd card and put it on your computer, then put my font folder on then you'll have the original font folder to put back if you need.

I play Peace Walker on the Metal Gear HD Collection on PS3 so idk.

Tried your font but it still too big

 

[cucholix]

Ok, found a font that fits perfectly

If someone was having cut out text in Peace Walker there you go, should fix other games too.

Can you try Midnight club 3 please...?

 

[gameplayswitch]

Has any one managed to get this to work with 4.1.0 FW? Every game tested always seems to freeze on gray screen (with the switch icon on lower left and OK button on lower right) and then goes to a Atmosphere error screen. What am I doing wrong?

Error code: 2168-0001 (0x2a8)
Title: 010[zeroes]100D
Firmware: 4.1.0 (Atmosphere 0.8.7-master-b03a7786).

Is it safe to attach atmosphere logs + dumps or do they contain any device identifying information?
