Homebrew RELEASE PPSSPP Switch Standalone Beta

[bad361]

What about God of War? it is slow :/

get a 30 fps cheat, it's necessary for achieving full speed in GoW, otherwise enjoy slow-mo action even with max OC

 

[Andalitez]

Could somebody be so kind as to test Godfather: Mob Wars?
Its the only game i'm interested in on PSP, but wont be able to test for awhile

 

[opmas]

Does not work with reinx?

 

[VashTS]

i tried out Hot Shots Golf Open Tee but it goes to about .5 FPS when taking a shot. I feel like there was a remedy for this back when i messed with ppsspp on android or pc long time ago but can't recall....am i crazy or is that a real faint memory?

 

[nmkd]

Does not work with reinx?

Works fine here, ReiNX on 8.1.0

 

[opmas]

Thanks for confirming. Maybe its because of my exfat format.Will format it to FAT32 now hope it works

 

[opmas]

Nah. It does not work. Not sure what steps i had missed out in order for this to work. When i select the game it crashes

PPSSPP Standalone Switch Public Beta by m4xw
============================================

This is the first Standalone Release for PPSSPP.
It's based on my libretro port with some few distinctions:

-Includes a GLES2 and GL version (use GLES2 for GTA's or other troubling games, otherwise GL version is always recommended as it's far more stable and bug free).
-JIT improvements (should now work on all Horizon version), masking is no longer required, thus JIT masking bugs are a thing of the past (will be backported to the libretro ver. this week).
-All config files reside in /switch/ppsspp/, the path can not be changed for the time being.
-You can copy your PPSSPP files from /retroarch/cores/savefiles/PPSSPP/ (savefiles are compatible, savestates are NOT, however I will add a export option to the Core soon-ish).

Note:

-Due to a toolchain Issue, starting like 15~ games in a row might lead to a crash, your mileage might vary depending of the number of JIT buffer allocations

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

Drag & drop the switch folder to the root of your SD, overwriting every file.
If you don't copy my controls.ini, you will need to remap your controls as it defaults to keyboard values.
Assets are bundled, so you don't have to bother with that.
In-Game Menu Hotkey is L3

DONT. USE. ALBUM.
Just don't...

Notes
============================================
-If you are using ANY method of loading PPSSPP OTHER than Atmosphere's title redirection feature, DO NOT report issues that you encounter.
-Don't use NSP's.
-After upstreaming, this port will likely become the official

Support
============================================

Changelog
============================================
-Fixed "Home" Button in PPSSPP (Not the Switch Home button)
-Fixed in-game menu continue after Settings open (might not properly refresh some GPU settings, but said refresh caused the Issue)
-Fixed the 10th launch Issue
-Fixed CurrentDirectory (you might need to manually edit the ini if it isn't created new)
-Fixed Recent launched games (clear old entries!)
-Bundled controls.ini / Drag & Drop Bundle (careful if you don't want to lose your own mappings)
-Added "fake GLES2" -> Performs way better in GTA's, however breaks many other games if internal res > 1x
-Added GLES3 build -> Less Bugs, about same perf as libretro port
-Added Browser applet to some links in the Menu (because why not)
-Enabled NXLink Support (for dev/debug)
-Updated again, now one NRO resides in /switch and another in /switch/ppsspp, essentially allowing to show both NRO's in the hbmenu
If it still show's the PPSSPP folder in hbmenu, make sure that theres only 1 NRO in /switch/ppsspp (it doesn't matter which).
Both access assets, config and flash from /switch/ppsspp
-GLES3 has been replaced by GL (GL is superior in every way)
-Re-worked JIT, Masking is no longer required, thus there should be no more JIT bugs that desktop standalone / Lakka don't have (this change will be added to libretro too next week)
-However doing this we have less space to work with due to a libnx bug (virtmem stopping working), so it might crash if you launch ~15 games in a row without returning to hbmenu / home menu.
That number will vary depending on how much memory the jit buffer allocate depending on the Game
-Add some other JIT sanity checks + fixes
-The GL version should be pretty much on par with standalone- while the GLES2 ver has a few more gfx Issues but better perf in some games (most of them are GTA's)
-General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience.
-Fixed Homebrew store
-Fixed Ad-Hoc Multiplayer

what is this homebrew if im allowed to ask?

 

[Rahkeesh]

PSP emulator

 

[opmas]

Got this thing to work by installing the ppsspp installer. lol

 

[notimp]

Startup time for me is 90 seconds (on black screen). Probably, because it scans all folders on the system. Any way to speed that up?

Is yours considerably faster?

Issue got resolved by updating Atmosphere and OFW to most recent / 8.1.0

Yay. (Now startup is pretty much instant.)

OFW?? what is OFW?

 

[Mouser X]

OFW?? what is OFW?

Official FirmWare. Just like CFW means Custom FirmWare.

 

[MacBlaster]

Got issues with Sid Meier's Pirates. When the game will start (after select the nacionality, etc) it crashes. (tested with GL and GLES)

 

[UselessDood]

You said not to use nsps. Why is this? I completely forgot you said not to, and made an nsp for ppsspp using nro2nsp. It loads fine but crashes when I load a game. I'm guessing this is why you said not to use nsps, but what causes the crash?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Im getting error Code: 2168-0002 (0x4a8)

Sd:fat 32

I tried crazy taxi, initial d, Jackass, Tony hawks series.

Did you use nro2nsp? Because I've had this exact error code for every game I've tried when I do that. Just use the title redirect.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

BTW nro2nsp works great. thanks m4xw for the amazing work!!

How did you get it working? Mine crashes when I launch a psp ROM, but main ppsspp works fine. I just use title redirect on my retroarch nsp installation for now.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

i try yo install homebrew menu.nsp, but it does not work with sx os. And what do you do to use ppsspp on sx os?

Don't do album. It doesn't give enough memory.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Startup time for me is 90 seconds (on black screen). Probably, because it scans all folders on the system. Any way to speed that up?

Mines literally a second of black...

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Everything looks kind of blurry with default settings.

Is there a way to sharpen things up?

Then the

error code 2144-0001
meaning: unknown
Title: 0100000000001000

Are you able to load into ppsspp using title redirection? Hold R when starting a game.
Whereabouts does this error occur?

 

[yoitsmegabe]

I got this finally working by using atmosphere, reinx for some reason was not working for me. Street Fighter Alpha 3 max confirmed to work, Valkyrie Profile Lenneth confirmed to work, Guilty Gear crashes to Nintendo title menu.

 

[Alseid]

Got this thing to work by installing the ppsspp installer. lol

When you had the error, did it crash the Switch and had to reboot?
I'm having something similar, though the code is different from the one you posted.
I've tried multiple sd cards, each in FAT32 and exFAT, always with the same results.

What installer do you mean?

 

[Riggan]

Can someone kindly help a noob in need?

I have the standalone installed and when I load it up and go into my PSP roms folder, I am seeing the games being recognized;

However, whenever I go to load any one of them, I am getting this error screen (was doing the same thing in RetroArch);

What am I doing wrong?

That's the exact same issue I have. I don't know if it helps to identify the issue, but the same thing would happen with the ppsspp core in Retroarch, everything would be ok until trying to load the iso. Every other core I tried loads the roms properly, only this one does this. I thought the standalone would work, but it gets me the same result, so for your sake and mine, I hope someone can help us.
