Yes, I know and I already have standalone version. It works and its faster! :D Ploggy, I am just curious about retroarch version, thought.
Looking at the Current MelonDS libretro port, it doesnt look like there are any core options so you cant change the screen settings anyway :/
You could try changing the aspect ratio to 4:3 and try to change the video rotation? (both in the Video Settings) but really, best to wait for the patreon build to release :)

I totally agreed with you. I will just ignored it until it's improvement a lot. For now, this build standalone version is faster and better anyway. Thanks again for your kindly replying!

There are ways to get the orientation correct but the touchscreen co-ordinates doesn't rotate with it, so the touchscreen presses doesn't line up.

Has anyone noticed a glitch in mupen64plus-next when using texture packs? Seems to only display on one half of the screen with the bottom half rendering random textures...

Talked with retroarch team and they tell me how to do it on Switch version of retroarch. DS works correctly but Super Mario 64 DS touch screen isn't responsive. Have you tried it ? And other games running slowly so I am stick with standalone which run much faster. Again, it is nice for retroarch version of DS further improvement in the future for Switch. It would be great to include 3DS Cintra for Switch in retroarch soon. :) Just saying.

I’m import all ROMs but the Dreamcast ones are not showing up in there own playlist, is there a fix for this?
Also how Do I update retroarch without going online. It’s a pain to delete the whole folder and reinstall everything every update, any easier way?

1. load the core before going to playlist
2. theres a online updater for the cores and other stuff in the app

its not fixable (yet i guess)...go for lakka if you are eager to play SA2

edit: sa2 and soul calibur just have been fixed recently (check flycast thread)

Oh btw guys:


The shader fix shown there is currently in beta testing (Patreons), so if it all goes well, m4xw will push the fix to the buildbot by tomorrow. :)

Are save states broken on PPSSPP core on 9.0+? Ever since I updated to 9.0.1 using Atmosphere latest I can't save or load states. I just tried the latest nightly didn't help, just freezes up and I have to close the game I used title redirect on. I'm on Retroarch 1.7.9.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    i dont have an sd card adapter but I have an usb sd card adapter

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    might install ysmenu first
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Try Wood firmware
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For your R4
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    but why choose it over ysmenu @Psionic Roshambo?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
