Homebrew RELEASE Development Thread - RetroArch libnx

It's functional but far from ideal.

If you save your game on a real GBA you can just power it off and you don't lose anything

In RetroArch GBA, however, you need to save your game, press + and - simultaneously, go down to 'Close Content', press B to go back a menu, then go down to 'Quit RetroArch', else your in-game progress is forfeit.

Its a retroarch thing, has nothing to do with me (btw I think you only need close content, but using both is save)

This is an emulator not a console..

So saving will always be jank. That's really unfortunate

So much work from those Devs (they do it for free) and saying something like that is not nice you know. Keep cooding people you have my gratitude.

Saving is working really well and savestate is almost perfect I did notice on the vbanext after switching 3 roms when i went to close content the gui froze up

Aren't they paid via Patreon? Either way, I apologize if my slight disappointment came off as too impolite for you.

Could fix that up for the switch (or we just wait till we have a proper process manager and going to home isnt like using taskmanager to kill the process)

I am not paid for anything.

Actually if I did all the stuff I did for retroarch in office hours, I would have like 2k extra

 

[Twistedziefer]

The snes core is working alot better too no audio issues and on megaman x when there's alot of enemy's on the screen there is no slowdown like before

Yabause doesnt load roms it freezes at black screen now

You really need to get a patreon going then, the cemu team is raking in almost 10k a month. While emulation on a switch doesn't have as broad of an appeal there are plenty of people who are willing to help out programmers. Anything > 0.

@m4xw what fw are you on?

I will consider it, not sure how good it is for my taxes tho.

@m4xw what fw are you on?

5.1

SNES Core much better now! Playing Super Metroid no audio or grafics issue. Thx a lot man!

5.1

I just updated to the latest myself since I have a second Switch to boot on version 3.0
But I do think (since Atmosphere is being released and will support emunand) homebrew development would be faster if like it was happening on the latest fw. Maybe the backward compatibility is what is holding progress back.
Don't get me wrong on this. It's just a suggestion cause down the line everyone will be using the latest fw once Atmosphere launches.

what's the difference between passed, running, pending ?

 

[Syynx]

I have a custom config for various settings (mostly to clean up the menus and to define rom directories)

Is there (or will there be) any way to load the config automatically?

just place it in the same folder as the nro.

But loading configs is bugged on threaded builds, so it might crash or not work at all, or maybe it does

The name of the config the snes core made is called 'RetroArch-0609-190244..cfg', are the 2 periods before the cfg normal? Also should I rename the cfg to something specific?

retroarch.cfg

The generated config wont run tho unless you load it manually, then save current config.

Perfect! I loaded up RetroArch SNES, changed various settings and directories, then saved a new configuration, which created 'RetroArch-0609-190244..cfg' in the /switch/ folder, I renamed that to 'retroarch.cfg' and placed it into '/switch/Emulators/snes9x2010' (the same folder as vba-next.nro) and it loads automatically without any issue! ❤❤❤

Can you post that config?
