Homebrew RELEASE Development Thread - RetroArch libnx

[Twistedziefer]

Welcome to early homebrew!

Untested VBA-Next core(on request): https://mega.nz/#!ms8g0C7A!BpJsO9n-YqGATFMqZIOAFJS9fvxFKwk7a5WI2fSIF48
same icon/description tho

I am just waiting for my Pizza.

Gn8

tested on 5.0.2 runs great, overlay works, sound is alittle slow and stuttery, save states work faster than snes version

Wait...
Is all of these stlll using only one core at the moment?


Boy, if that's so, imagine when we get access to ALL the cores... :^}

 

[CatmanFan]

Yeah, anyway, is @TheKrane still looking to port certain cores? Or will @m4xw port them?

Isn't Lakka using all the cores (?

Classy. I hope you made a backup of the source there.

So, over the weekend I've been working to port Retroarch to libnx.

This is WIP, but it should hopefully work on all versions.

Status:

• Gfx Driver is mostly done (will need some improvements tho, vsync I am looking at you)
• Need to revisit realpath(), sysconfig() and get them properly implemented and into upstream libnx (features_cpu.c ... I know, should be seperate File)
• JIT (didn't start yet)
• Dynamic cores will need quite some work

Finished:

• Joycon Driver
• Toolchain changes
• Audio Driver (might revisit, weird shit)

Tested cores:

• Snes9x: Crash - Doesn't work
  
• Snes9x2010: Works https://mega.nz/#!S513SLKa!fCfly2SmBOtb042r2X5V-K4O_bAWs389oDh3RsGnpbk
  
• VBA-Next: Works (outdated build) https://mega.nz/#!j2hhUDoQ!HaeMkdYZD0bpk0tcC2uYOe1IowXI4tY_Klvat39wm9Y Thanks to @TheKrane
• Gambatte: Works (outdated build) (but Issues with every ROM, might be related to framerate) https://mega.nz/#!uihXCSIa!-6M2lTpEQDvsUUYdmWS8cNGgS48dIq1_Jb6VPuTCAho Thanks to @TheKrane

Stuff that anyone can work on:

• Create a pre-configured Retroarch.cfg
• Test ROMs
• Port more Cores (it's easy AF for most!)

Vsync is disabled by default (for now), if you experience heavy tearing, change it in the cfg!

Changelog:

• Added Overlay (disable by default via config)
  
• Added default config (same folder)
• Analog dpad by default!
• Audio fixes (feedback pls)
• Tearing is known, try setting vsync in the .cfg to true!

Just throw the folder into /switch and go!

Btw:

Retroarch Menu is now L3 + R3 (Left and right analog pressed in)
Saving states is R
Loading states is L
Docked works if the Application is started while docked!

If anyone wants to work on custom overlays, MAKE SURE THEY ARE 1280x720

Hope I didn't miss anyone!

I hope to work on pcsx rearmed core on switch.

Looks a little better, figured why not

I saw Crash and hoped for PSX, but oh man you hyped me too much lol

The overlay should have gave it away

Tested DKC2 with an 8bitdo SNES controller.

I will marry this console tomorrow.

I'm loving the progress that's being made here thus far, I can't wait to hopfully see more cores supported in the future, personally I'd pay for a well optimized PSX/PPSSPP core on the Switch, although I'm sure the latter is farther off then a PSX emu might be, but a gamer can dream.

 

[Leonidas87]

Considering we have SNES and VBA updates version with audio.

Does anyone think Gambatte and FCEUMM should also be updated with audio support as well?

 

[Leonidas87]

Menue looks better

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

And lastly look how clean the menue can look.

A lot easier on the eyes then the last one.

Considering the speed at which @m4xw is going... It won't be long before a ps1 emulator falls upon us.
Seriously brought perfect support to devices <5.x.
I don't know how you do it man but you know your thing!
Digging double dragon on Snes for now.

Let's hope he really gets some sleep soon.
Also, Beetle PSX is available as a LibRetro core on the Switch, but we know its totally unforgettable speed by now. JIT could speed it up by a sizable margin, though, but we don't know how it's going to be implemented yet.

Yeah I noticed it a split second after the "CRASH" letters once the full image loaded up

I will marry this console tomorrow.

That reminded me of that person which apparently married an NES cartridge xD
