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.

Have you tried turning on/off the "Fast Memory" option? I forgot where the option is.
Oh alright that seemed to fix it thanks! Only found it working with IR interpreter before but it was running so slow. Seems like specific games need specific settings

Control settings for FF Tactics WoTL? Not sure if its just me but with the analouge it will only rotate right. Going left doesn't rotate the battlefield, just right.

Edit:
Forgot to add Im using latest retroarch and latest ppsspp core

Video of what I mean:

I have checked over everything and can't find out what it is. I know the controls are fine because BBS plays fine.

Can't get Lunar Silver Star Harmony to work on this at all. It just crashes the whole emulator. Does the same on Retroarch with the ppsspp core. Tried like 3 different ISOs. If someone has a working ISO, can they just post the hash for it? Don't post a download link since that is against the rules.

Try turning off the "Fast Memory" option, it is somewhere in the menu, maybe in the debug or in the developer menu.

Nope still crashes instantly.

EDIT: I managed to get it to load by disabling the IO Timing setting but the it only loads garbled graphics. I can hear the game making confirmation noises when I hit X, but after two dings, it crashes again.

Hi all, I use the PPSSPP core in Retroarch for Switch, latest updates installed. Wipeout Pulse runs fine, but whenever I try to save either via save states or in-game, the game crashes or freezes. Is there any solution to that?

edit: solved it by re-uploading the assets into the PPSSPP folder.

Do you reckon we could get a compatibility list made? It's hard to see what's worth playing by trawling through the comments.

Does this crash for anyone else? The only game I want to play is Final Fantasy. I'm on 9.1 and using the latest Retroarch/PPSSPP.nro.

Hey anyone tried playing Daxter? It has been running PERFECTLY on the highest settings until I got to this area where you fly a bike around and spray bugs on plants and fps dropped significantly, afterwords it was back to perfect 30fps. Since then I run in and out of situations of lower fps and it ran better when docked but still noticeable lag. I just wonder if it could be any type of compatibility thing or if it's just not enough power, i'd love to overclock but I don't think cys-clk would work for ppsspp. I use ppsspp installed with tinfoil vs whatever the retroarch version is, I have no idea how to do the retroarch version.
