Awesome work man!
I'm guessing your success in this project could lead to many more successes to come.
Keep it up and thanks!

Here's the link to the VBA-Next Core:

I've tested mario advance 2 with it and I can say it's a bit slower even without the sound.
Also while playing if you go to the menu - and + controls stop working for a few seconds. Doesn't happen all the time though.
I can say retroarch on the Switch rocks!

Strange. The game works just fine on 4.1.

Actually I am on 4.1 too and I can definitely say the other ported vba-next is faster.
Maybe got used to that speed? Also checking the option menu while playing shows framerates between 56 & 58.

FCEUMM works (@Natehaxx ), but runs twice as fast. Does anybody know if you can set the target framerate from 60 to 30 inside of RetroArch?
If not I will have to take a deeper dive into the code and find a solution there.
Anyways here's the link:

This is still the vsync issue!

In other words: my bad

Right now I've unleashed the kraken

Heading to bed now, audio needs to wait!

tested on 5.0.2 roms load for like 2 seconds goes to white screen and freezes have to press home button to exit tried 3 different games zelda dx, mario delux and pokemon crystal.

@TheKrane mGBA plz?

Why would we need mGBA, if we already have VBA-Next?

Did u use the bundled gcc version in devkitpro?

I tried Pokemon Yellow. Worked fine.
What games did you try? I'll definitely look into that.

I used make with $(DEVKITPRO)/libnx/switch_rules. Why?
Not quite sure if I understand your question correctly haha

I second that!

Also, mGBA has full support for BIOS (i.e. the GBA startup thingy), that's probably the only thing that sets it apart from VBA-Next.

When it comes to Retorarch Cores mGBA is considered better than VBA-Next and Nestopia is better than FCEumm.

Nestopia (as a LibRetro core) wasn't initially ported to the Switch...
