Homebrew RELEASE Development Thread - RetroArch libnx

I know it's just a wiki but maybe...

A simple yes would've been enough. I am at work and want to avoid weird ass search queries for a weird ass game from the last century, nor I have the time other than a quick tab to gbatemp lol

Didn't I link you a threaded non-fullscreen build?

https://git.m4xw.net/Switch/RetroArch/libretro-snes9x2010/-/jobs/567/artifacts/download

This has all the newest changes of threading just w/o the fullscreen, use as is

Hi m4xw, does the latest ci build have working audio, full screen etc? Or was that posted somewhere else?

@baretbh

Forced Fullscreen + Threaded build, use as is:
https://git.m4xw.net/Switch/RetroArch/VBA-Next/-/jobs/563/artifacts/download
https://git.m4xw.net/Switch/RetroArch/libretro-snes9x2010/-/jobs/565/artifacts/download

These should hopefully not crash, but will bug out in docked, but it will not crash (fine in handheld so far).

So they dont work in docked mode but wont crash you are saying or will? Kind of confused by what you meant.

I also tested both of these in handheld mode, but running smoothly. Only thing I did notice was trying to close Retroarch in the menu does nothing and semi crashes the app. Having to press "home" button to get out. On 5.1.0 fw

Wont crash in handheld and will in docked mode

Wont crash in handheld and will in docked mode

Thanks!

Wont crash handheld, wont crash docked (but just try, you will see what will happen when it *would* have crashed, best thing is start and close a normal game or reboot switch)

Its waiting for the main thread to exit... which it runs on (or smth like that, it's been very weird issues).

Its fine for now. When it hangs it did everything it wanted to do, actually I like it more because that forces people to use the home screen right now.

Not yet, but did you try just to disable vsync?

Awesome, thanks for the explanation

I'd venture to guess it's somewhere in this thread... probably on one if the previous pages.

Just so anyone doesn't end up with a crashed Switch or black screen, here's how to set up 4DO upon loading it:

1. Go to Load Content and load any game or BIOS.
2. As soon as you select it, press + and - together to toggle the Quick Menu.
3. Press B to exit the menu, then go down to Configurations. Select it.
4. Select Load Configuration.
5. Navigate to your specific config for 4DO. It can also be a copy of the Yabause config.
6. Upon selecting it, go up to Load Content and load whatever game or BIOS you can.
7. ???
8. Profit

I quite love the ??? Profit, freaking south park

A little bit behind in following this, but, should these threaded builds work on a 3.0.0 switch? I keep getting a 2162-0002 error immediately after trying to load a ROM (been trying snes9x2010 specifically).

Threaded builds are highly WIP. They might work.. or not.

You could try w/o a config and manually setting video->video_threaded on and vsync on

How far are we from N64 emulator cores for retroarch?? As well as DS, too... I know people are saying there's something needed for the 3D rendering to work correctly...

If you're lucky in a year... or two

If you give me a 10 man team of highly skilled coders, reversing and re-implementing the GPU Driver + Vulkan / GL I would estimate about 10000 man hours (at least)
So just about 3 years (for a single person), or a bit more than a year for a team. Give or take.
These values can easily multiply
