At least we can put this one to bed, then. But your contributions mean a lot to us, and hope you'll be able to put more out in the future!


You can't 'code' for a specific CFW, but you also can't predict what the heck it is the closed source devs are doing that can make it not work. There's such a nonexistent incentive to make things work on SX OS when there are simply better (both ethically and functionally/monetarily) options that you can use. It's not like TX are supporting homebrew devs anyhow in a way that benefits the community, like Atmosphere and even ReiCFW do, so why give anything in return?

Not only is it his choice to not support TX (as he pretty blatantly makes clear on several occasions), but there's literally nothing he can do to fix it, without putting everything else to a halt and rebuilding it from scratch to see where things break. This goes for all homebrew. And I wouldn't be surprised if more advanced homebrew ports start to break down on SX exclusively in the future anyways.

You basically just regurgitated most of what I said thanks for that. I said if it's his work if he wants it to not work on SX OS he's allowed to do that.

Hi guys anyone is having troubles launching Star Wars Racer and Vigilante 8 2nd Offense?

Star Wars just hangs on the main menu but Vigilante critical crashes into Atmosphere reboot

It's not that they 'don't know' how to make it work on SX OS, nor are they arbitrarily blocking SX OS. But Retroarch is only tested on Atmosphere and no specific testing is done on SX OS. It may or may not work, but nobody will help you if it does not work.

SX OS being closed sources DOES mean that it can be difficult to diagnose issues caused on the OS side. Atmosphere has upstreamed plenty of pull requests specifically for homebrew functionality. No developer wants to be at the whim of TX.

Can somebody clarify if skies of arcadia's text is completely screwed up? Did some quick searching, just saw one guy post that it runs. Yeah, it does, but the text is completely unformatted, making it pretty unplayable. Just checking to make sure its not me or if there is a fix out there.

Skies of Arcadia works in the latest version, the text was fixed around a week ago. Update to the latest nightly.

Edit- sorry, I meant Skies of Arcadia works in the latest Flycast.

Something about texts in game:
I tried to play Silver (EU) with the JP bios. No texts on screen and game break. So be sure to use a BIOS that is compatible with the game version you have. Just in case.

Just get the individual core and add it to retroarch/cores then.
