Homebrew Retroarch Emulation Thread (Nightly Builds Included)

[Azrels]

I did like to report two bugs in the latest stable version.
Nestopia crashs on start asking for "custom.pal" file. As far as I'm concerned this is a palette file that should come with the emulator right?
Mednafen PCE has an annoying line at the botton of the screen which seems to be originated from a problem with fitting it's aspect ratio with the 3DS screen.

Also I did like to ask if anyone has a good version of Genesis plus px, everytime I come around to give it a try I ended up finding minor graphical glitches here and there, especially with Castlevania.

To anyone that cares the latest stable build runs really well. A lot of bugs that were in the last build are gone now. Most games I play are very solidly fullspeed now with fairly minimal drops. Others aren’t completely there yet but are very close. Spyro 3 and Crash 3 still run poorly with lighting on but that’s not really surprising. They run at around 30-50fps.

Hello guys
I´ve been trying to run htft on the cps3 emulator (specifically the jojoba.zip)
It managed to read it, but it runs around 40 fps. I heard that the speed increases if the file is fba
Anyone knows how to do it?
Thanks

The latest pcsx_rearmed nightly (2/25) has a patch that should fix the random dynarec crashes. Because they're random, it's hard to be sure it's actually fixed for good, but it's worth a try if you've been running into them.

Recently, support for Cyclone and drz80 cores has been added to mame2000 and mame2003plus for PS Vita, which has greatly improved speed. Could the 3ds makefile be modified to add support for these cores?

I´m trying to run mame 2003 on my n3ds. But I read on this thread that I need a xml file so it can run better using another app like youtube. I tried but it wont work. Guess I´m doing it wrong. Anyone knows how to do it?
Sorry for being a noob
Thx

@justinweiss Just wanted to thank you for the fix to gpSP! I have yet to run into any random crashes and can totally live with the "non-random" ones. (The ones where you load content after closing previous content.)

Wait, Justinweiss posted about pcsx-rearmed. Are you saying this affected gpsp too?

 

[delnirui]

It was the same issue that plagued pcsx-rearmed's dynarec as far as I understand but he had to port those changes over specifically for gpSP: https://github.com/libretro/gpsp/pull/64

So it wasn't "automatically" fixing gpSP too, but was pretty much the same kind of fix.

Under settings you can find directories and set a default starting directory which in this case you would want to make it your roms folder. Alternatively utilize the playlists feature. You can scan and it will automatically detect what platform the rom is, or you can do a manual scan of a folder and set the parameters for a specific platform. IE select your SNES folder and set the name as Nintendo - Super Nintendo Entertainment System and one of the SNES9X cores and it will build it using your file names instead of the internal rom data (which I have the best success with, the database blows on all versions of retroarch and doesn’t find half my roms with the normal scan, so I use manual).

They fixed gpSP! (EARRAPE WARNING)



No tearing. No crashes. Bliss. (To get rid of the tearing set the frame delay to 1 in the video settings.)

Great! Huge thank you to whoever managed to fix it.

Apparently it was the same person who fixed the PS1 emulator.

Hi there, I updated retroarch from 1.3.6 to 1.8.5 and now the UI take ages to load, same when I load a core or change an option. It was very fast before. Is it normal ?

I use an O3DS and CIA version.
Thanks.

I’m having this same issue on N3DS.

Yes.

 

[zarkon]

Yes.

in this case I don't know, I haven't upgraded yet, seems like they don't put much effort in n3ds development, when it work for me I don't upgrade.
