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.

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?

I'm using 6.1 using choixdujour i'm on 3.0 and 4.1 as far as fuse go

It works on 6.1? Would you mind downgrading to 4.1 and post your results?

Why would you bother or ask someone else to? I'm curious, not being sarcastic.

Why would anyone want to stay on such a low firmware I guess I don't understand.

 

[gameplayswitch]

Everything else works.. My games so far don't need any require any higher FW's. I've heard the newer FW's have super-nags and added security stuff to make things worse.
And isn't the rule to always stay on the lowest FW?

 

[Clydefrosch]

might be...

well, i just realized a different issue. for some reason,

Why would anyone want to stay on such a low firmware I guess I don't understand.

Hope's for no payload cfw I guess. Maybe no space for a 32gb backup.

Does anyone have any idea about how I could run Need for Speed Underground Rivals. I'm using the new vertexjit version and it started the first time without a hitch. I did a race and everything went perfect. Tested out some other games. Now I went back to Need for Speed and it freezes when loading a race. I can still go back to Retroarch menu so it isn't a hard freeze. But can't get past that loading screen.

I have set all the speedhacks to off
- Memory Speedhack is off
- Vertex cache speedhack is off
- Sound speedhack is off

If somebody has any idea I would be glad to hear, loved the game back in the days :-)

Also another question, is it normal that I need to do the following steps before starting a new game...
- Close content
- Start other core
- Start new PSP game (select PPSPP core)

Otherwise I get a black screen but I can hear the sound of the game. This also applies when I start retroarch and my last played core is PPSPP. I need to select another core before starting a PSP game.

 

[Kadji]

it runs almost perfect:

OMG Thanks for sharing that Video.
Guess I have to finally give in and buy a second switch with my next payment...

 

[gameplayswitch]

I have to ask, what is lowest supported Horizon FW this will run on without a fatal Atmosphere crash?

 

[m4xw]

Tried your font but it still too big

kek maybe play at original res then?

The speed of improvement in this emu is mind blowing

Honestly the PPSSPP guys did awesome work with their dynarec.
They thought of nearly everything, optimization wise. Also neon is used all over <insert drooling face>

Public PPSSPP with JIT release, first post has been updated, make sure to read the Update notes.
If games still have Issues to boot, disable all hacks + unsafe func replacement.

ssx on tour works perfectly, holy! i like this game so much, great work
also tekken 6 runs almost perfectly with 960x544 res and a mid oc, runs a bit sloppy if you up the res
most wanted fully playable

 

[tabnk]

JIT FINAL full speed even at stock clock. Except FMV/VIDEO stuttering even with overclocking.

 

[cucholix]

kek maybe play at original res then?

Played at lower res too, but the text still the same, anyway I used another font in flash0, and it fits perfect.

 

[onofrix]

sega rally works perfect too. I love this game:

Tomb raider anniversary and legend work perfect too, but you must change analog sensitivity to 1.2 in config/input menu in retroarch.

 

[DerekGeneric831]

So what's the difference between JIT and IRJIT?

 

[cucholix]

JIT FINAL full speed even at stock clock. Except FMV/VIDEO stuttering even with overclocking.

Monster Hunter Frontier also stutter in the intro FMV, other than that it runs like a dream
