do i just replace the cores, or will i have to throw everything out first, including the config files?

Just use the core updater now

sorry, i guess I should have specified that, but i'm not gonna put that thing anywhere close to an internet.

That's great news.
How do PSP games fare with this (ful speed?)

I'll just replace the core files then, thank you.

Go a folder up and there are full bundles

i feel like we're kinda talking past one another here, sorry.
i know where the nightlies are.
my question was if retroarch is going to throw a fit if all i do is replace core files, instead of removing the whole retroarch folder. this was a typical (and annoying because file transfer takes ages) issue on the 3ds where it would sometimes just not work or not apply and save new config files (leading to other issues) unless you removed the whole thing and started over.

I simply dragged and dropped with no issues at all.

You know guys, I'm pretty sure the OC won't melt your switch in hell if you don't do it for too long/at a wayyyyyy too high rate, otherwise there'd be no reason for m4xw to work on it like a madman, and even less reasons for Jason Leonidas to hype it up since weeks (

thanks for your hard work!
Is there also a retroarch .nsp of the nightly build with the overclocking option?

Clydefrosch · Nov 30, 2018

that is not to say that OC in actual switch games wouldn't cause heat issues.
but in retroarch, the switch is generally running cool to begin with

Does it work on dock mode? Also do Hi-Res texture mods work for N64 games?

Dock, yes. Texture packs, no. You can use shaders and increase the internal resolution.

Anyone tried this with some n64 games to see how the performance is?

Shaqattack101 · Dec 1, 2018

hey, where I can I find the core settings to deactivate the frame buffer?

fallingrat · Dec 1, 2018

Firstly, I'd like to thank the developers for their amazing job.

I have been trying to download retroarch and it looks like the latest version is a folder with many files. Do I have to download an older bundle and replace the files with the new ones?

Is there a fast way to do this?

Thanks in advance

Edit: I saw there is a bundle with everything. Sorry for the stupid questions.

In portable mode overclock for sure won't create enough heat to amount to anything when playing switch games. Not sure about docked mode, since the gpu and cpu both would be clocked higher

Launch n64 game
Quick menu> options > framebuffer émulation > true or false

Here's a good video showcasing it:

Dumb-ish question: Do we need to manually set it back to stock speeds before closing Retroarch?

Edit: Nevermind, just found this.
