Homebrew RELEASE Development Thread - RetroArch libnx

[ShadowOne333]

I have a 200h 354h net loss of sleep for this year

Let's start getting back on track then

For anyone wondering:
The upcoming upstream retroarch build will mark the final release of this development thread.
v1.0
Some work is still to do for this next week.
No new features will be implemented before this.

Here’s a background I made for PCSX-ReARMed, as well as v2 of my Snes9x background!

Rayman works well with dosbox

How do you run it in dosbox?
I have been trying to use the bin and iso after that I tried to unpack the bin to a folder. The only thing dosbox would see is the unpacked folder with the the exe in it, but when I try to run rayman.exe I get black screen and freeze.

Solved, was integer scaling, had to set it to off.

Similar is happening for me, only when I run the exe, it does run, but the game is SUPER laggy. Literally unplayable.

Upstreaming/1.0 is exciting!

Will this help with porting more cores, or is that much the same as before? I'll let you catch up on sleep for a few days tho before I start bugging for cores

What's upstreaming?

 

[ShadowOne333]

What's upstreaming?

He means finally pushing all of the work they've been developing to RetroArch's main repo (LibRetro).
So after this, all subsequent releases/nightlies will be in RetroArch's official buildbot.

Read above.
Once this goes upstream, it won't be on m4xw's hands, but rather RetroArch/Libretro directly.
He deserves some good rest after all his work (and others of course).
Bugging for cores and stuff like that will fall under Libretro's hands after it goes upstream, not m4xw anymore.

maybe a dumb question, but how will we keep up with releases in the future?

You have to change the cpu frequency multiplier from 1000 to like 100000 or whatever the max is. Its under options.

But even after that i sometimes get frame drops, maybe there is something else that can improve performance.

So what will happen to this thread after the upstream v1.0 release?

Chances are there'll be a new thread discussing official builds.

 

[ploggy]

I guess when it's upstreamed it wont be called RetroNX anymore either? It'll be called Retroarch Switch port

They would probably take down the RetroNX branding too lol

But seriously though I wonder how they will handle XMB interface when OpenGL on Switch homebrew eventually becomes possible

RetroNX was my working-title, because lets be honest. A cool project needs a even cooler name

 

[ShadowOne333]

When v1.0 Upstream is released, perhaps we can "switch" focus from this one to the actual RetroArch Switch thread which remains dormant
