PPSSPP Switch Beta Release

1.jpg

PPSSPP/Libretro Switch Public Beta by m4xw
==========================================

After a lot of work, I am very happy to share this with all of you.
Audio & Video support works, many core options cause Issues tho.

It is mandatory to "Close Content" after changing any Core option and restarting RetroArch, else it will potentially crash, don't close the RetroArch menu!

Special thanks to hrydgard for everything he has done for the PPSSPP Project.
If you want to support his work, consider buying PPSSPP Gold https://central.ppsspp.org/buygold even if you don't use it!

I will PR it once the libretro port is finished, also implemented half of what's needed for a Standalone port ;)
Source is on my Github, but it's highly WIP and needs a custom RA and a custom ffmpeg, so you should just wait if you want to build it yourself ;)

Libretro Docs (important informations for this core):
https://docs.libretro.com/library/ppsspp/
Official Game Compatibility Tracker (your mileage might vary): https://report.ppsspp.org/games

GitHub (WIP Switch): https://github.com/m4xw/ppsspp/
GitHub (Official): https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp

Installation Instructions
==========================================

Drag & Drop the "retroarch" folder to the root of your SD, overwriting any file (it will not touch any options).
Assets are bundled, so you don't have to bother with that.

Notes
==========================================

If you are using ANY method of loading RetroArch OTHER than Atmosphere's title redirection feature, DO NOT report issues that you encounter.
These issues can skew testing and could very well be caused by loading through an unsupported method.

Video slowdowns are related to missing hardware accelerated decoding (nvdec), it's not a libretro/PPSSPP Issue.
FMV cut-scenes will be fine.

Updates
==========================================

Added JIT and JIT Vertex Decoder Support
- When loading Savestates with JIT, make sure to instantly open the RetroArch Menu again and wait for it to complete loading
- This is a libretro specific bug (not switch port related) and will be fixed later on


==========================================

-Added Vertex JIT Core option (turning it off fixes some games currently)
-Added Disable slow Framebuffer effects Core option (Speedhack)
-Increased Savestate Chunk size to 4MB (speeds up savestate load, ~2sec)
-Band-Aid for Savestate load + Save (no more opening menu for them to work)
-Renamed "IR JIT" to "IR Interpreter"
-Removed Threaded IO Core option (non-functional)
-Removed Non-Buffered Rendering Core option (non-functional)
-General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience.

Cheats are at - retroarch/savefiles/PPSSPP/PSP/Cheats
So i used the right cheats edited them into the right file... how do i actually enable them in game?

FOUND THE FIX. when pasting the cheats into the cheat file. just add one at a time and the code can be activated or disabled in the .ini file directly by replacing with _C1 in place of _C0 on the title line.

Nice to see PPSSPP was ported to the Switch, the more platforms the better,I even finished Megaman Maverick Hunter X on Wii U recently thanks to PPSSPP, it's just a shame it did not get more updates for it for a long time, I was expecting some update that would improve perfomance in Kingdom Hearts: birth by sleep, but I can understand why, I just hope that the version of Switch can be supported for a long time and that it does not occur the same with the version for Wii U.

PS: Sorry for my english.

FFT for me is a stuttery, dragging unplayable mess for me. The compatibility list says it should be fine. What am I doing wrong?

I’m using Atmosphere, title redirect, latest RA. Copy/pasted the retroarch folder as instructed in OP. Is there something else I need to do?

It's pointless to use that compatibility list because that's for PC/Android. This is not up to those standards yet.

It crashes for me as soon as I try to increase internal resolution. Not sure what I did wrong. Other than that LocoRoco, Patapon and Motorstorm Arctic Edge seem to run fine, but I didn't spent more than 1-2 minutes in each one.

SX OS, HBL, FAT32.

Start the game, increase the resolution, save the game config. It's the first option in the menu. Close content and relaunch the game.

I have a little problem.

I'm trying to run Tactics Ogre at full speed, and I change speedhack options and graphic options, now i can't load any psp game, all of them crashes, return to HBL and after that, error code and restart.

I try to erase ppsspp.cfg, reinstall the core, but this error persists (only ppsspp), any help please?:blush:

Firm 6.2 with last Hekate & Kosmos. Full Ram access.

Sorry for my bad english.

Try to delete retroarch-core-options.cfg and try again

Disable digipad emulation for the stick, when you are playing a PSP game. Its just a setting in control settings.

PSP had both a digipad and an analog stick, so some games mapped both differently. In PPSSPP its the "double mapped". Simply disabling Analog stick digi pad emulation fixes this.

Takes maybe 4 seconds. ;)
thank you so much I fixed it :))

It's raelly nice, and It seems that a lot of game can run in full speed.

Btw, we will need to wait for more optimization to be able to run heavy games like project diva ^^'

crisis core works, it's just a bit slow. Playable if you have the patients of a monk.
Dont listen to kids who cant switch to ir-jit, presumably. But VERY edgy avatar, though..

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

When I try and raise the resolution on Persona 3 it crashes Retroarch. Any fix?

what clock speed is your CPU? run it at the top two for peice walker to run fullspeed. Fullspeed for that game is 20fps. there are ways to get it to 30/60fps but ive not worked that out yet.
