The ISO's and RVZ are over 4GB. Switch's FAT32 filesystem does not support files larger than 4GB. I don't want to scrub Subspace Emissary. So I have to split the game.
EDIT: I guess Dolphin doesn't support split WBFS files. Sigh.

You can copy >4gb files onto your Switch by FTP or MTP. The Switch OS uses a trick to store them in multiple files but treat them as one automatically.

yeah mine is fat 32 and ftp does it fine its not like that , it uses file transfer protocol over internet and it works that way ... i have never had a single issue and i transfer over 4gb all the time with DBI.

also you so not need to explain variables to me for formats , i am completly aware of how it works

Thats not quite true. It doesn't support the transfer of files larger than 4gb but you can store games larger than 4gb. Using a protocol which transfers the file via packages is circumventing the transfer limit or you can split an disc image, transfer it and put it back together afterward
 
duckstation gives me this error on startup with every game since I turned on retroachivements.

Is it possible to create forwarders for specific ROMS to launch with TICO ?
Click to expand...
Yes
I'm using an app called forwarder manager for this. Just indicate the rom and the core that works perfectly. I believe that using the forwarder website also works.
 
When I add a game shortcut to Home page and try to launch it right after, Tico freezes completely.

When I add a steamGridDB cover, if I change my mind and try to apply another cover it will fail to load. Deleting the first cover and rescanning the core library will usually make it work.

So trying to launch any Wii games in Tico just crashes. Whereas DolphinNX runs them just fine? What's going on here?

Make sure you have most recent build i think 0.7.8 Tico and Dolphin 0.0.8, i think skip gamecube bios is enabled by default to prevent crash if no bios supplied, but could be Nintendo firmware too.
Or possibly bad rom dump?

Should all be up to date. Not a bad ROM. It is in RVZ format though. I would assume Tico Dolphin should be able to launch it
 
I have an issue with the SNES core, european roms are not functioning properly, the sound is all messed up, it's pitched like the game runs at x4 but the gameplay speed is actually correct. Changing the region in the emulator settings does not solve the issue.

Have you tried launching the same game several times ? From my experience 99% of the first attempts will crash but it usually works on second try. rvz files are supported by tico.
 
If Tico can add overlays like the ones you can use in Retroarch then it'll be my favorite. My favorite PSP experience so far, even when I own a PS Vita, has been Retroarch on the Switch with the 1x PSP overlay, where the image of a PSP fills the edges of the screen and there's just that nice 1:1 pixel perfect PSP game running, and the emulation is basically perfect. TICO's emulation is good, but like with PPSSPP standalone, I just find that I can't get the same 1:1 feeling out of it.
 
Small issue but exiting any game closes Tico and sends me back to homebrew menu. Any way to fix this or is that just how it is supposed to work.
 
I don't know why, but tico doesn't recognize my dreamcast roms. I use the same ones in the flycast. I wanted to test to see how his performance is

folder naming for tico is very sensitive, it has to be exact... i believe its all lowercase dc

i believe that its a know bug/issue with certain core like PSP, dreamcast and saturn use to do the same behavior but those cores were fixed. I would suggest joining tico discord and submitting bug report.
