Can anyone help the nes game run at 120 FPS is there a way to keep it at 60 fps
Set frame throttle to 1.0. It can cause lag in some PSX games.
i dont even know if the 3ds screen can display 120fps. you might want to check on that first.
It's not displaying at 120 FPS, it's the framelimiter.

Hi I'm on Old 3ds and I'm wondering how you can make Gambatte run with a speed button toggle, or even just a permanent speed up option.

What do you mean by that? Like a fast forward option? You'd want to use RetroArch's frame throttle feature if you want fast forwarding. If you're talking about speed (don't know how fast gambatte runs on o3DS) then turn off Audio Sync.

Not to sure if I'm doing anything wrong but I just got the neogeo and I can't get it to work. I get an error. I tested two roms so far metal slug 5 and king of fighters 2003. I have the roms and bios in the same folder, not to sure if I'm missing a step. I'm not missing a step, I guess the issue might be that I'm using an old3ds.

Use the latest dev build.
Oh wow, yeah. I had a lot of crashing on the latest build until I changed the menu driver from XMB to rgui and the audio from csnd to dsp. Now it works great zero crashing.

I already have the latest build. There is a chance that the roms I have don't work. All I know I'm happy that the look of the menu changed and I think that happened because the settings that got changed. Right now the two games I have just say fail to load but the app doesn't crash anymore. If you didn't talk about those setting, I probably wouldn't know about changing settings especially because I never pressed the forward button on the first menu section.

It was the games, I just got kof94 and it loaded, it's just slow. Well I have an old3ds so it should have been expected, anyway I just seen I might be able to play with better frame rate using twloader, just got to get ds emulator.

Sorry but never expect to have better FPS with an old 3ds.

On the other hard, how is the psx emulator working now? last time i tried using it, it was runing Resident evil 3 with 45 fps. Playable, but anoying after 30 minutes playing.

Hmm so I tried gpsp's latest nightly but no luck.

I set the menu driver to rgui and the audio driver to dsp and restarted the app. When I load a rom, I get an exception error with Luma.

I'm running Luma 8.1.1 on B9S 1.3 and 11.6.0 firmware. I've never had this much of a problem with gpsp in the past. What gives? I added the gba_bios.bin in retroarch/cores/system/gba_bios.bin

Edit:
It seems restarting the emulator after editing the settings helped out and now the games work. But wow I loaded up Final Fantasy V Advance and it just crashed during the intro with the airships flying. Giving me the Luma exception error and a dump. Looks like this emulator isn't stable as it was advertised by someone on Reddit.

Works fine for me. Haven't had a single crash.

I've been playing The Divide: Enemies Within and the first Resident Evil at 45-59.83 FPS with Audio Sync set to off and Frameskip set to 0, which seems to be better than when I first tried it a while back. Your mileage may vary with more polygon-intensive games, but otherwise I feel like it's actually more playable than earlier versions, if that helps?

Hi guys,

I'm trying to load up some PS1 game on my new 3DSXL which has everything needed to load CIA files and the installation works fine for the pcsx-rearmed. I had a problem with the stable version, when i loaded up my game (in this case Breath of Fire 3), the application crash and send me back to the main menu. I've tried multiple bin files and the result is the same.
I then tried the nigthly builds but the result is different, the installation still works fine but when i'm navigating in the pcsx menu, the menu freeze and i have to hard reboot my console.
Do you guys have any clue on how to fix that ?

Thanks !

The latest nightlies I believe have broken XMB. You'll need to change the menu driver to rgui.

Will i sound stupid if i ask how to do it ? I've tried to lookup on the internet for this "rgui" driver but couldn't find anything about it. I've tried to update my config file and change de the menu driver but when it load up, the console say that it couldn't be found, which seems logic since i added nothing. Can you link me something to download it ?
Thanks
