?? huh :P

O and whats the steps to fix the DK64 Camera in Retroarch? good info to have, I can see people asking in this thread eventually
Code:
DK64 Camera Issue workaround:
-    Start ROM
-    Turn FBEmu On
-    Set RDRAM Depth stuff: Software (fromMem does not work)
-    Close ROM & start ROM again
-    Get ingame
-    Do a Savestate
-    Turn FBEmuoff, RDRAM stuff back or whatever (optional if perf boost is wanted from here on)
-    Close ROM & start ROM again
-    Load Savestate
-    Stays fixed whenever u load that Savestate

we will see, no promises on that front but at least i want to improve the horrible IO thats throwing exceptions on purpose all the time...
That grinds me the wrong way, mupen nx will get first class msvc + angle + uwp support, so you can def. expect a lot of improvements on that front (directly impacting xbox).
Also the shader cache lags, hd textures and some other bugs need to get figured.
Gotta fix playlist too..

If you want to help, when you get a game that just crashes on startup, repeatedly, get me a crash dump.
Its like 900mb or so but compresses to 30mb. Need that for crash analysis.
Logs dont really work here since i have a ugly hack due to some SEH issues...

NOTE: Some Cores such as Citra, Mupen64, Reicast/Redream require an OpenGL renderer to function which currently the Xbox One doesn't have. Until ANGLE (translates OpenGL calls to Direct3D) is ported to Xbox One don't expect to see these Cores running.

What exactly does this entail? I saw a couple Github issues on the ANGLE repo from 2016 that referred to this (https://github.com/Microsoft/angle/issues/60 and https://github.com/Microsoft/angle/issues/21). Would a UWP port of retroarch help address this? (Also apologies for any ignorance, literally just started looking into the Xbox hacking scene today as I bought one last week :D)

EDIT: oh shit I just read the last few pages, it seems like y'all got Mupen64 working, amazing job :)

ANGLE supports UWP and so does xbox one.
So it just works, with some tweaks here and there and a context impl.

Have you rewritten/are you rewriting retroarch from the ground up as a uwp app now? fwiu retroarch wasn't a uwp app before correct? i'm more trying to understand the challenges that were needed to get over to write an xbox impl for angle
