Ok, nice. Does audio work?

doesn't look like it's the same link, joycons don't work

This is awesome! So much progress in just a couple of hours.
SInce everything seems to be working just fine now with snes9x2010 I might try to port over some other cores.
Nice work!

I just updated the github branch.

Feel free! (Still need to revisit double buffered gfx/vsync and audio)

Thats what is needed to port (most) cores I guess:

# Nintendo Switch (libnx)
else ifeq ($(platform), switch)
    include $(DEVKITPRO)/libnx/switch_rules
    EXT=a
    TARGET := $(TARGET_NAME)_libretro_$(platform).$(EXT)
    DEFINES := -DSWITCH=1 -U__linux__ -U__linux -DRARCH_INTERNAL
    CFLAGS    :=     $(DEFINES) -g \
                -O2 \
                -fPIE -I$(LIBNX)/include/ -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -ftls-model=local-exec -Wl,--allow-multiple-definition -specs=$(LIBNX)/switch.specs
    CFLAGS += $(INCDIRS)
    CFLAGS    +=    $(INCLUDE)  -D__SWITCH__
    CXXFLAGS := $(ASFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -std=gnu++11
    CFLAGS += -std=gnu11
    STATIC_LINKING = 1

Great work, keep it up

Is it a lot of work to get overlays implemented? Not proper shaders but basic png overlays like simple scanline images that can be placed over the gameplay image.

Should be possible!

There was a commit recently from ReSwitch about tearing, though I don't know if it might help here or not:

I'll research it. Seems like they got dynamic cores running too (soon)!

Still missing that on my port, but should be possible as well.

Edit: looks like its only makesfile stuff for dyn cores... well thats easy

"Dynamic" cores? Are those like the 3D console cores?

As in snes9x or gba-cores get loaded from the sd instead of being bundled

All this work with the SNES retroarch on 4.x.x will it also be passed down to bring compatability of retroarch vba next for 4.x.x as well.

Seems possible

 

[TheKrane]

I just compiled VBA-Next. Works without any issues on 4.1!
I'll edit this post soon and provide a download link.

[m4xw]

I guess we will start building a little library once i get the dynamic cores and audio in

 

[TheKrane]

Sounds like a plan!

 

[CatmanFan]

By the way @m4xw do you know why the audio isn't working?
(Curiosity all over again)
