Homebrew RELEASE Development Thread - RetroArch libnx

[m4xw]

Docker image: starcarr/libnx:latest

Use like here: https://github.com/nonameentername/docker-devkitpro#usage

I don't use docker, but this might help you

Probably a dumb question, but:

How can I contribute to this project aside from testing the emulators? I mean, I know I need DevkitA64 but I honestly don't know where to download it (do you see any download link concerning Devkit164 here: https://devkitpro.org/)

Greetings.

Make for RetroArch:

make -f Makefile.switch

Make for Cores (after patching Makefile)

make platform=switch

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

You could also manage issues on my gitlab.

You can send me your email via PM if you want access

Linux installed, updated, a few installs.

Can anyone say BUILD TIME LMFAO.

Oh how I can not wait to compile one of these cores View attachment 130676

Don't tell me that was your Windows 10 laptop...
Also, what cores are you planning to compile?

Surface pro 2017

Tri booting Windows 10, Os High Sierra and Android 7.1.0 cold boot. Full install.

Linux in virtual machine on Windows boot.

What's the issue?

Got a quad OS BOOTING surface pro 2017 the value of this thing is ridiculous

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

And I have linux installed on a USB stick.

I'll be good for building in NO TIME.

ON EVERY OS IF NEEDED

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

I'm backing up both my switch's as we speak.

I have a theory.

My Nintendo switch running 4.1.0 WAS SIGNED IN.

I then formatted my entire system for super nag test.

EVEN LOGGED OUT. Prevented MANY from taking that plunge and lost all save data during the test, no checkpoint at the time.

My 4.1.0 system is NOW LOGGED OUT. Been pissed for about a month.

Now what I want to do is restore my user BACKUP.

In theory that should sign me back in.

Correct me if I'm wrong in the theory

Managed to compile TyrQuake and Nestopia (with -fexceptions), both fail at the same point after picking the content and launching the core :/

Did you copy the shipped .cfg?

Did you copy the shipped .cfg?

I copied over my own retroarch.cfg that disabled rewind/ffwd keybinds and NstDatabase.xml. I read on the ReSwitched discord that anything using throw, try, catch can break control flow. But for all I know this is for libtransistor.

Delete the *cfg and try again please
Let it completly use its default values (analog dpad is on w/o cfg btw)

And share the makefile!

Out if curiosity, what are you using for your Android install? Running Bliss OS on my SP4 and it works pretty well but the lack of deep sleep and the battery life makes it kind of meh to use.

You could try -fno-exceptions too, in g++ it does actually replace them with abort() calls AFAIK
Shouldn't really change much tho

With the release of the continuous intergration builds posted above, how many developers are actively working and changing things and is it possible to get a link to commits pushs made?

Only me, starcarr and some commits of melon bread.

On my way home right now so gonna keep it short.

 

[CatmanFan]

So...are there any cores left that we haven't ported? (besides the 3D console cores, of course, which can take a lot of hard work to get done right...super curious)

Sadly no luck, same thing with Nestopia. FYI after selecting the ROM and launching the core. It simply hangs on the grey Horizon screen with (A) OK in the bottom right.

And here's my Makefile: https://github.com/Zero-Shift/nestopia/blob/master/libretro/Makefile

You could try -fno-exceptions too, in g++ it does actually replace them with abort() calls AFAIK
Shouldn't really change much tho

When leaving -fno-exceptions, the compiler throws "exception handling disabled, use -fexceptions to enable" and trying to comment the throws and catches just borks everything since I'm obviously doing it wrong

Lol a BUNCH but we need more compatability for say N64, PSX, Dolphin.

Be nice once we can play and work on those.

But for now I must say some of the cores here lol I never heard of, consoles and handhelds from China for example.

Great work from all contributing factors in the thread

I'd say perhaps main Snes9x (for MSU hacks and more accurate gaming), Nestopia and mGBA are the ones from the top of my head which I can think of, and my main three fot Nintendo consoles.
Perhaps after that, has Genesis Plus GX been compiled already? If not then that's another one, and then DosBox as well.

I tried to compile Genesis Plus GX. It worked, but it wouldn't load any ROMs at all.
mGBA failed to compile.
I haven't even tried Nestopia and DOSBox yet, but I've known for sure main Snes9x probably won't work.
