Y’know I never thought about that. I really should go about saving that somewhere. Thanks for the notice, it’ll be saved in the next release.

I was able to create a working forwarder using this NSP Forwarder:

https://nsp-forwarder.n8.io/retroarch

Here’s what I did:

  • Add your box art image
  • Fill out the title (version and publisher are not necessary)
  • Core path: the location of the Dekopon.nro file on your Switch SD card, e.g. /switch/Dekopon.nro
  • ROM path: the location of the given ROM on your Switch SD card, e.g. /switch/dekopon/roms/game.nds
  • Prod keys: your prod.keys backed up with Lockpick_RCM
  • Create the NSP and install it with whichever tool you prefer (Goldleaf, Tinfoil, DBI, etc.)
That worked for me.

so i did what you said and it worked however it launches straight into a game but i can exit to library and from there pick what game i want so i guess its cool how come in the file path for roms you had game.nds could that be what im missing because i just did /switch/dekopon/roms for the roms path and for the core /switch/dekopon/dekopon.nro

If you only want to forward Dekopon you can just use the NRO Forwarder option.

hey guys just chiming in to say thank you for the emulator it works well. im playing pokemon ultra sun, and well it does freeze frequently for 30 seconds to a minute at a time it unfreezes and contiunues to play only once did it crash to the dekopon menu but that might have been due to cheats overall if your patient the game is playable. hopefully this will be fixed in future updates but overall im having fun with it so thank you and keep up the good work

Are you on the latest pre-release version (v2.2.3)? If so, could you share the azahar.log file from the logs folder from a run that had this freeze?
 
Reporting it in case nobody has mentioned it already: if the emulator has been suspended for a long period of time, like when the console goes to sleep mode and you leave it like that for hours, once you open it back again the game freezes. At one point, after a long while, it resumes execution of the emulated game as usual.
While the whole thing is happening, Status Monitor Overlay shows the core 2 being used at 100%, core 0 and 1 at 0% usage, while the core 3 reserved for the system does its own thing, nothing ever crashing.
The emu's menu, screen swapping, that stuff seems to work though quite unstably and slowly sometimes. It's all very strange.
Has it happened to anyone else?

hello i was wondering if this emulator can emulate qr code scanning via a saved pic of said qr code because i want to use a qr code for pokemon ultra sun
 
Hello,
I have this problem someone could help me? :)
After selecting a game, the console displays an error and resets when the power button is pressed.

PS: Azahar 2126.0 working properly with roms.

Do you use sphaira or hbmenu to load Dekopon? If you use sphaira try updating it to the latest version or try it with hbmenu.

Switch firmware 21.1.0 .... E
Hats pack is from HATS-03012026-2201845 (**Supported Firmware:** Up to 21.1.0 )

1. Sphaira updated to 1.0.7 then next to open Dekopon 2.2.2 & 2.2.3-RC1 and and select the game then crash software.
2. Start hbmenu v 3.6.1 nx-hbloader v2.4.5 then select Dekopon 2.2.2 & 2.2.3-RC1 and the same scenario select the game then crash software.

Could you tell me what software and hats pack do you have? (this is weird for me)

Checked with games: New Super Mario Bros.2 , Pokemon Ultra Sun, Pokemon X, Super Mario 3D Land, Terraria and Top Model 3D.
 
A new release has finally been made! (only been a month...) https://github.com/PalindromicBreadLoaf/dekopon/releases/tag/v3.0.0-RC1.

This brings along support for lossless frame gen, proper amiibo support, proper 1080p output in docked mode, revamped settings and in-game menus, various Vulkan backend improvements, and a rebase onto the latest upstream version (2126.1.1). Please read the README for information on getting frame generation set up.

There was a lot changed under the hood, which is why this is a pre-release version, although it seems to be stable from my testing. Assuming no bugs are reported, this version will become the proper 3.0.0 release.

Yes, it can use saved pictures on the sd card for the cameras.

Hello I just have a quick question does this also work with NTR plugins or only the CTRP

If Azahar supports them then they should be supported here too, but I don't know if they do or not.

Does this emulator support online, like for CTGP-7?

It should? I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work.
