Homebrew RELEASE 5.0.2 compatible Snes9x2010 and VBA-Next ports

[wicksand420]

Dumb question, but can someone explain how to get to the Retroarch menu?

I think you press both thumbsticks in

Afaik using the plus and minus buttons at same time also works.

Tried that....didn't work.

That's weird, on snes9x2010? Or did I misread? I have a video I took but I'm on road of it working with that button combination, maybe I'm on a lower version of the homebrew

Is there an updated snes emulator for 4.1

 

[Reecey]

On the SNES9 app is there anyway to alter the settings to make the screen full 1280x720?

Hi!
Is the default configuration file inbedded within the nro file of the SNES emulator or does it look for it in a default folder created?
If it's in the default folder why not change the config file within the emulator, save it and rename it with the default name and replace that one?

Hello everyone, here is a TEMPORARY SOLUTION FOR BACKING UP AND LOADING SAVE STATES WITH THE SNES RETROARCH EMULATOR

In this video I do go through the SNES RetroArch Emulators or virtual console as some would refer to it. Along with backing up and loading save states.


YouTube Video:



5.X.X/5.0.2

Be sure to watch MOST OF THE VIDEO as I do go over some control settings that I do have enabled for the emulator. Makes playing some of these retro emulators a little easier to set up.


YOU MUST PLACE THE SNES CONFIGURATIONS FOLDER ON THE ROOT OF YOU MICRO SD CARD WITH THE CONFIG.CFG FILE INSIDE.


YOU MUST PLACE THE 1 retroarch_SNES folder in the switch folder on your micro sd card WITH THE .NRO FILE STILL INSIDE THAT FOLDER.


YOU MUST LOAD THE SNES CONFIGURATIONS FOLDER/CONFIG.CFG FILE EVERY TIME YOU LAUNCH RETROARCH EMULATOR/VIRTUAL CONSOLE


WAIT 5 TO 10 SECONDS AFTER SAVING STATE.

WAIT 10 TO 20 SCONDS WHEN LOADING SAVE STATE

EXIT RETROARCH USING EXIT OPTION IN THE MENUE.

BE PATIENT!!


1 retroarch_SNES folder with .nro file and configuration file; DOWNLOAD LINK BELOW:

Appreciate all the hard work done by developers and the teams at work making these GREAT emulators/virtual consoles and apps possible.


Have fun and all the best.

This was an old workaround.

Things are working better in relation to config file loading and saving

What do you mean?
Changing configuration within the emulator works after restart?

If you have a config file in the same folder as the .nro

Retroarch.cfg

Load the configuration file manually in the emulator.

Make changes and then save them.

That file will load as default if named retroarch.cfg

If you do not have a default config just save as new and rename it as retroarch.cfg

And so on.

Oh that's what I meant a while back.
Although to rename it you'll need a phone or a PC. So there's that

Yezzur you are correct until are trusty file browser and homebrew get keyboard support

 

[mrtzera]

this homebrew works on fw 2.3.0?

 

[Faded-Ghost]

which file do i use to play the games

 

[Tigran]

Does this one keep a save file when you tell the game to save, or do you have to go into emulator menu and use save state?

Use the one on this page. It is much more up to date and has had multiple bug fixes vs this one that has not been updated since May.

If you go to the Git that is linked on that post you will also learn of a newer one that is in the works that is a port of VBA-M.
