Homebrew RELEASE Development Thread - RetroArch libnx

[m4xw]

You would probably need help from other developers as well, just saying.

Also, holy crap VICE actually compiled. Now let's prepare our SD card for it before I can actually get to test it. Also going to try and test 64DD on Parallel, including the BIOS.
Emulation on the Switch is just getting better and better over time

Less work for me is always a good thing. I like this "concept"

If you meant that literally, no, i don't.

Damn, it didn't fully compile

C:\devkitPro\devkitA64\projects\RetroArch\RetroArch-salamander>make -f Makefile.switch platform=switch
linking retroarch_switch.elf
libretro_switch.a(app.o): In function `file_browser_init':

Looks like my plans for Commodore 64 on the Switch have been thrown out the window...at least for now anyways

@m4xw @CatmanFan did you guys change anything in my Makefile to get Parallel working? I rebuilt it (with an updated RetroArch fork this time) and it still freezes when I load a rom. Ironic how I apparently got the core working, but I can't even build it properly myself! I wanted to look into getting the threaded Angrylion renderer working, but there's no point if I have no way to test it. It's embarrassing, but if someone could help me I would appreciate it! I tried compiling snes9x2010 and that worked just fine, so I'm not sure what the issue is.

Phony build?

Build as always :/ Maybe its your ROM i tried MM

Use my libnx fork too

Btw it does take a bit. THe logo is rather smooth (maybe even full speed), but then shit does powerpoint

i can't go through 120 pages to check on the configuration saving issue so does changing the input and saving the configuration works or not?

as i have tried so many times on different ports and doesn't work
any special settings

You dont have to go through 120 Pages to find the solution, because there is no Issue!

Just try closing the application properly and don't use the HOME button

i tired that and still not working
i change the input for user1 then go back to configurations ,save configuration then quit retroarch when i log back same old buttons loaded

Which buttons do you try to map exactly?

m4xw, thank you for the link regarding configuring/saving buttons. Do you have something similar for when users want to reconfigure the aspect ratio for various cores, and have them actually save/restore when reloading the individual cores? Many thanks!

I think u can just go Quick menu, options, create core config and add core-specific values there

 

[infidelity]

I'll give that a shot tonight, thank you!

No one can help you because it's not actively being worked on

Try changing the aspect ratio from the RetroArch menu and then changing it back again.

 

[sentieroluminoso]

ok thanks i'am waiting

 

[sentieroluminoso]

@CatmanFan thanks for the answers, i have change multiple aspect ratio but no solution for the problem

 

[Breezyonda1]

Quick question any lan network capability available?

I tried rebuilding again, different roms, letting it sit for a while (10 minutes?), but nothing works. When I built with my old RetroArch fork (pre-salamander) it would freeze on a black screen when launching a rom. Building with the latest sources, it freezes in the RetroArch menu on the core selection. Really weird, but I guess there's nothing I can do. I might still try getting the threaded Angrylion working if I have some time, I'm sure someone would be willing to test it!

Dont use salamander (load core).

Just start the core manually. salamander seems bugged on your build

Switching cores via salamander works fine, but when I select a rom with Parallel it asks me to select a core again (with Parallel as the only option). When I select Parallel from this menu, it locks up. Starting the Parallel core directly produces the same results.
