I'm on 9.0.1 and I've got the issue where the nsp boots fine but controls aren't working. I'm using emunand on kosmos/atmosphere. I was using version 3.3.5 to make my nsps, should I switch to 3.3.6? Is that the problem or something else? Also the nros themselves work in the homebrew menu and were updated for 9.0, it's just the forwarders not working. Thanks for the help.

update your app your using. If it’s retroarch then update all your cores from within the retroarch app. 9.0.0 changed h.i.d stuff and the homebrew your forwarding needs to updated with the newest changes in libnx

Like I said, every nro was updated for 9.0. I'm also using the latest version of atmosphere/kosmos. The nros work fine through the homebrew menu, it's only forwarding them as nsps that doesn't work.

The one that the controls doesn’t work on must not have been updated correctly then . What app is it? It’ll work from homebrew menu because they do a temp patch when launching via that way.

pplay, NX-Shell, OpenRCT2, and retroarch (not roms, just retroarch itself)

I’d recommend remove the Nros in question and replacing them again with the newests (from there github). Also verify you don’t have multiple Nros on the sd card where the forwarder is pointing to a specific build and then you’re replacing a different version. You can try 3.3.6 beta 1 but I don’t think that’ll fix your issue.

Another quick update as per some feature requests, experimental so please test and let me know of any issues. Also core.xml may be outdated so let me know of any additions or logos you want added!


  • Added "logo" and "animation" paths to core.xml for use to automatically set logs per core platform
  • (Feature Request) Added Auto set logos in logo menu -- see above
  • (Feature Request) If "Preset Author" is set to "core" in the settings menu then author box will be set to selected retroarch core platform
**These are experimental, please report any bugs and any updates to cores.xml needed

This is hopefully the last beta before a stable release, fixed a couple of silly issues.

3.3.6 Beta 4
- Fixed error with keys with lowercase letters being flagged as invalid
- Fixed unrelated error message being displayed in some cases
- Fixed App crashing if no key files are found
- Add new information to logs to help debug issues

is there any chance of adding support so standalone apps like ppsspp or pplay can have their games/movies used by forwarders rather then just retroarch

I first made standalone PPSSPP forwarders for individual games months ago and they work fine. You just enter the correct location for where the .nro is and also the rom.

The standalone PPSSPP app. At first I did Retroarch but I had a problem with save states on it on 9.0 so I switched to the standalone. Forwarders work fine. It's as simple as pointing to where the app is and the rom. Games start right up from the forwarders like they do Retroarch, and you can still get to the app menu in game so perfect.

Well that’s definitely good to know, so just replace the core with the the path to the nro?

Yeah, it's not even the first standalone app that works with your forwarders when Flycast standalone came out it worked too although it's obsolete now. MelonDS however did not launch the game it goes to rom menu but PPSSPP works fine. Just manually enter the path to the ppsspp.nro. Like for me it's /switch/ppsspp/PPSSPP_GLES2.nro
