do you think ps4 compatible to have a ps4 forwarder though retroarch?
nintendo switch has one so people can convert a game to go on homepage such.

This is possible however a custom launcher will be needed that tells it which game to run when the app is launched.

Change the resolution setting to 2x or higher in core options.

Usb version was used as temporary solution for 6.72 jb when it first came out. There was an issue reading config file from internal drive. This has since been fixed in later 6.72 HEN version so it's not needed anymore.

do you know of any source for 6.72?
thanks!

Can we play mkv videos using this RetroArch? I heard it can natively play videos, or I could have misunderstood

OsirisX · Sep 3, 2020

@Dekkerlion If it can, perf won't be that great since video is software rendered.

Is there any word on possibly getting the dolphin core working yet?

chapas · Sep 20, 2020

Can I load games from USB on DOSBox? I'm unable to mount anything as I do in Windows for instance.

OK, just helped myself, it's just a matter of loading the EXE, from load content. Pretty easy. Let's play Dune II !

OR eg.

mount c "/usb0/dosbox/"

any new updates on the new project or retroarch like a dolphin core maybe??

I'll be releasing a native port of SM64 soon. Only source code will be released for this however due to the legal sensitivity of the port.

Your work is amazing and I congratulate you most sincerely. I have read the entire thread and I was very surprised that no one asked for the core of the ZX spectrum. Would you be so kind to inform me if you plan to add it? It is one of the most iconic computers in history. Thank you very much.

Thanks, I'll see if I can port that core over.

This is a native PS4 port of RetroArch. The current release is based off v1.8.8.
You will need a jailbroken PS4 running 5.05 fw to install and use this port.

Ported cores list:

Downloads
RetroArch_PS4_r4: https://mega.nz/file/HM4B3RST#amPGZoltIcuvCqjY9yW4VAHol5g923HSZK3xdmQhmhY
Cores_Installer_r4: https://mega.nz/file/DBxAFY6a#ZBjWCovHhiSfHx9Qq1B-aNVk0T8de7LD23VgLUqbhkQ

Cores Install Instructions:
Install and run the Cores Installer app to get the cores. (The app can be deleted after installing the cores)
Alternatively you may download them using the Core Updater in RetroArch.

Note:
Cores are now installed to /data/self/retroarch/cores.
If you ran my previous releases, you will need to update the cores directory configuration by going into:
Settings->Directory->Core and point it to /data/self/retroarch/cores

Notes:
1. Games can either be loaded from hdd or usb.
2. The RetroArch system folder is located in /data/retroarch/system. Any necessary bios files need to be placed there.
3. There is a small bug where sometimes games won't load after closing it. If this happens, try re-loading the core and load the game again.
4. ~~Parallel N64 emulator seems to run fastest with rice gfx plugin in.~~ Use mupen64plus for best N64 emulation performance
5. Shaders should be working. Try loading them from usb if you're experiencing issues and don't forget to press apply after loading.
6. Launching games from playlists should now be working in r2.
7. Use Hen version 2.1.1 or later
8. For r3 or higher, install and run the Cores Installer app to get the cores. (The app can be deleted after installing the cores)

Aknowledgments/Thanks
- Flatz for figuring out OpenGL on PS4
- Frangarcj for the initial RetroArch PS4 port
- Big Boss for liborbis

Wow great job!
How is performance? Does it show down on anything you have tried?

Thanks for bringing this to the PS4!

When I load content it will not auto detect the correct core, I have to load the correct core then the content...just me?

Did you used online updater after installing Retroarch? I had this problem and it's gone after update and now core is auto selected when i load content.

BlackMilky · Oct 22, 2020

Thanks hosam_mohamed I updated everything again (shaders keeps failing) and now I get a list of cores to choose from after loading content

Sorry about the double posts

HommyB · Oct 31, 2020

Idk if it is just me but a lot of games don't work. I tried CPS2 dungeons and dragons games but all failed to load. Dreamcast games crazy taxi and daytona failed to load. Mame games like sunset riders crash on start.

jammybudga777 · Oct 31, 2020

How are you trying to load them? Via playlists? Or manually loading content? If you load through content then might be worth loading the core first then content
