XMB interface

This is the only thing I'm not looking forward to when RetroNX goes upstream.

CELEBRATION

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

That's one of the main things I miss in RetroNX, XMB is perfect for playlists, neat and tidy

Yeah, it's laggy crap IMO. Even on the PC.

Why does the d-pad and buttons not work on DOSBox?

How do i get dos games to work?

 

[M7L7NK7]

We can just replace the cores as they're updated and keep using retronx yeah?

Read the wiki, it says you need to configure the controller B4 using the core

Depends what you mean, I find its easiest to install them on dosbox on PC first, then move the folders to the switch and start the exe file using the dosbox core, some games will require the CD to be mounted while playing, so try the game on PC first to see what commands are required to mount and so on, then make a bat file including those command that you can use to boot the game on switch. I can send an example bat I'm using for booting Rayman.

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

@Echo off
MOUNT F /switch/Roms/DOS/Rayman1.2/cdrom -t cdrom
MOUNT D /switch/Roms/DOS/Rayman1.2/disk
D:
cd D:\RAYMAN
rayman.exe save=D:\RAYMAN

Save it as rayman.bat

Wow, thanks a lot, I didn't know that. Will definitely check out now.

To get CD Audio working, you need to supply DosBox a cue sheet. WIthout it, RayMan DOS does not have music on the levels.

Thanks for letting me know. Definitely saves a huge amount of trouble.

I am reading the Wiki, but setting up the controllers is just not working. I am only limited to the D-pads and button1 + button2 on retroNX, there are NO other options. The Wiki does not help.

Yuo may be in the wrong place, select the core, load the game, enter the RetroNX overlay, press quick settings then controller, in there you have all the buttons to configure

I can't seem to get the the PS1 game to play in full screen, is there a setting I am missing? Thanks

Did you change your aspect ratio? What is it set to?

I figured it out, yes my aspect ratio is set to 16:9 but my integer scale was enabled. After I disabled that it works on full screen.

The OpenGL porting stuff we've been hearing about as of late has finally been pushed into DevKitPro! I can't wait to see what stuff will develop from it!

 

[Deleted member 461907]

True. I really want PSP in native horizon.

 

[CatmanFan]

True. I really want PSP in native horizon.

But that still doesn't develop into how we're going to port PPSSPP. I mean, we already did Parallel-N64 and now we have to try and get OpenGL into that core...

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

Looks pretty good, Only feedback I have: Make the colorsplash behind cloud bluegreen like the lifestream to fit it better to the character

Short question about the Gambatte core:

Is there any way to enable the green screen colour palette like on the original Game Boy, instead of the default greyscale like on Game Boy Pocket? I would love to do so for the maximum nostalgia while playing GB games, but I haven't found the proper option.
