    Homebrew WIP MAME-NX 0.72 Release

    Would also like to know if this is possible. You used to be able to use cheats with Retroarch mame cores (< 1.8.0) but that has since been "broken" with the latest atmosphere. Don't know if/when it will ever be fixed so would be nice to have an alternative emulator to use just for mame roms.

    Homebrew RELEASE RetroArch 1.9.2 released!

    Thought I'd mention this because I'm not the only one with this issue (there is a current open github issue around it https://github.com/libretro/mame2003-plus-libretro/issues/894)), but there's been some kind of issue with the mame2003 (and plus) cores since after 1.7.8 or so...or maybe after...

    Homebrew RetroArch Switch

    That worked! Thank you so much. I just took the mame2003 and 2003+ cores from the 1.7.8 build and replaced the ones I had from the 1.9.2 build and that did the trick. ROMs open up much faster and cheats work again. Not sure how many people care about this, but I wonder if this should be posted...

    Homebrew RetroArch Switch

    Does anyone know if there is a way to get older versions (pre 1.8) of RA already built for the switch? Their buildbot only has recent versions. The mame cores have had issues since 1.8 (I believe). They load slower and cheats.dat don't work anymore. Rather than wait for a fix that I doubt will...

    Homebrew RELEASE RetroArch 1.9.2 released!

    Wish they would fix the issue with mame2003 and 2003+ and using cheats.dat. Maybe it's low on the priority list but I used to love going back to those old (and impossible) games and using cheats to play through to the end. Ghosts and Goblins, for instance.

    Homebrew Question MAME cheat database not detected - how to add Cheat.Dat or Cheats.7z to Retroarch and enable cheats

    I just want to mention that this problem only started on a somewhat recent build of the mame cores. Well, it’s been so long I guess it’s not that recent anymore. I believe 1.8 introduced the issue. On an earlier build I had everything working on my switch. Mame 2003 and 2003+. Cheats (the...

    Homebrew RetroArch Switch

    Anyone able to run RA 1.9 on SX OS 3.1? I'm running into issues where RA will randomly crash just moving about in the menus. Trying to load anything with the mame 2003 core just gives a black screen. Other cores work but then crash. Running 10.2 FW

    Hacking SX OS 3.0.5 boot hangs?

    So looks like the problem is that emunand just did not like something that existed in my CFW. I could not get it to boot after attempting to create it multiple times. I had to restore a clean sysnand from before I did any modding, and then create emunand from that. Then it works.

    Hacking SX OS 3.0.5 boot hangs?

    After being able to get into CFW and restoring games/saves, I booted back into sysnand and downloaded and ran a game I had previously purchased on eshop, then powered off and went back into CFW. So seems ok so far. Going to restore my other switch to older sysnand (8.0.1) and see if that lets...

    Hacking SX OS 3.0.5 boot hangs?

    Just rebuilt emunand off a 10.2 sysnand and now I'm able to get into emunand. Though I did get an initial black screen that i had to hard reset out of ...but at least I'm in.

    Hacking SX OS 3.0.5 boot hangs?

    You're having a problem even with 10.2 on both sys/emu? Darn...I was hoping that was the fix. Well, I'm 60% through recreating my emunand so guess I'll find out.

    Hacking SX OS 3.0.5 boot hangs?

    I have this issue as well. The problem appears to be when sysnand is upgraded to 10.2.0 but emunand is a lower version. Sounds like both need to be at 10.2.0 to work with 3.0.5. Problem is I can't even get into CFW...at all...to update my emunand to 10.2.0. I'm in a catch 22 situation...

    Hacking Question Unable to boot to OFW after restoring NAND with lower FW

    Got it working. Got my payloads mixed up and was loading a much older one. Updated it and now I'm in.

    Hacking Question Unable to boot to OFW after restoring NAND with lower FW

    I restored a NAND backup (using a backup made from hekate) from when I first got my switch. I don't remember the exact FW version it was on but I know I've burned many fuses since then. I want to basically bypass the fuse check, boot into OFW, and then update FW using official Nintendo update...

    Homebrew RELEASE MM-LINX - Super Mario Maker 2 Level Injector

    Does the File Browser work with USB sticks? Unzipped a level pack onto a usb stick but it doesn't see any files. SX Installer can see the files just fine.
