No Problem - I've been around the block on these things from the PSP days and XBOX (OG)

BTW - Deleted retroarch.cfg - Threading ON VSync ON: There are audio crackles... which is odd (Chrono Trigger (U) was testing ROM)
  • Steps done
    • Deleted CFG
    • Booted NRO
    • Settings > Video > Toggled Threaded ON *VSync was Default ON*
    • Booted Chrono Trigger
    • Crackle - Listened for 7 Min for audio cleanup but wasn't happening
    • Home button close > Booted NRO
    • Settings > Video > Toggled Threaded ON Toggled VSync OFF then ON
    • Booted Chrono Trigger
    • Crackle - Listened for 1 Min - Looked at the clock.... realized it was bed time

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


This is what happens when you make a lot of documentation for your day job... a lot.... LOL

@Starcarr without config file runs choppy, audio crackles.

Way better with Config file by far except for the freezing of course.

Just had a freeze up with SNES in the same fashion as here with VBA-also.

No video freezing so far without the config file tho as of yet.

Been testing on 5.1.0 and 4.1.0 with the same results.

Hmmm, the fact that both of you didn't have the freeze happen after deleting the config file means that there's something problematic there. If only that config file wasn't thousands of lines long... Let me know if the freeze happens without config file.

I'm working on it.
Performance isn't great yet to be honest, not without the JNI, GPU and hardware acceleration that we still need to figure out how to implement...

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

Nope, even when the "NEED_CD" flag is turned off, Beetle-PSX still won't compile.
Anyone else willing to do it with threading support for me plz?

Alright, Good luck, and I’m looking forward to the first release.

Hey, audio is cracking, other than that no video freeze, after a couple stages on dkc2, deleted cfgs then turned threaded video on cause v sync was already, fw 2.2.0.

Edit: spelling mistakes.

Welp, that settles it. I will have to spend some time testing configuration changes tomorrow, to see if I find the problem. Thanks a lot to all the people testing and reporting back.

No problem, I'll be around to help test some builds, well at least while I'm not at work. I'm glad to help out development as I can.

Alright folks, in other news I have moved @CatmanFan's port of Yabause over to our repo here. MR for CICD integration here. This repo will not be public for a few hours until @m4xw is back.

Attached is the build with threading support just for the kicks – I have not tested it. Consider deleting the config files to avoid freezing.

Never heard of that before. @Duhasst0 has FW 2.2.0 and seemed to be fine. Please try again detaching both joycons before opening the homebrew channel and report again – assuming they were attached.

When I boot I have one joycon in because of epic laziness, the other sits next to me until after I boot rcm, I am wondering if they are booting using the 3.0.0 method or they are booting bia rcm, and I wonder if that makes a difference.

Anyways yabause is running good with MegaMan X4, about half speed honestly, well at least half speed of what I am used to on the ps1 and ps2 versions. Audio sounds good although definitely synced to the video speed obviously.

Settings -> Input -> Input Hotkey Binds
Make sure to save new configuration; it's saved at the root of /Switch.
Click to expand...

I can't get it to save. It does create a new config file in the root of /switch. I tried saving it on the default config file and created a new one, but as soon as i restart retroarch the keybinds reset to default.
I went to Settings -> Input -> Input Hotkey Binds, changed it to L2 and R2, and saved it by going to configurations -> save current configuration. I also tried save new configuration. Even in the new config files the keybind is reset to default at restart.
EDIT: I fixed it by manually editing the config file on pc
EDIT 2: I just noticed something strange in the secret of mana beginning: https://snag.gy/8QcK0n.jpg
The loading screen is stretched for some reason.
