Next time please post a simple description or something.

For anyone curious, the github is in chinese and this seems to be a collection of emus. Like a retroarch of some sorts

 

[AndorfRequissa]

has anyone tried this emulator and is it any good?

My apologies, I will keep this in mind for the future!

Well, I'm using Emu4Vita 1.10 from yizhigai since it got released, 5 months ago and for me, is the coolest and best compilation of emulators on vita, now this is good news or bad?!
From the Emu4VitaPlus release page - "Welcome the little guinea pigs to try it out".
Guess I'll be one of the little pigs to try it

I'm exactly the same, I also like how Emu4Vita has standalone cores, but I am curios about mame 2003 plus core here.

Yeah, I want a replacement for PFA or PFBNeo to play some vertical shmups like Truxton2, Donpachi etc cause they don't run in FBALite. I tested with FBA core with this version and it works but I was unable to rotate the screen, tried to edit the config but it does not work and it crashed two times while deleting the autosave of some games.
My conclusion is wait for this dude to release a stable build.
Cheers!

You have to consider that a post with only a link is a bit lazy. Not because people can't click the link and read the readme but because sometimes having a little description or something makes people engage more with the thread than a simple link. Imagine someone that doesn't want to click a link but still wants to know what that post is about. Consider new people on the internet that might not have the knowledge of what github is and think: "might be a virus, better not click it"
It's more about presentation and less about making a mistake. I just suggested (yeah I know I didn't write "suggest" so that's on me) something in order to become a better poster. I know that because on the internet we can't interpret the emotion behind a phrase like face to face so it's no surprise that people might take it the wrong way

I wasn't shit talking, only explaining. I didn't even know there was a thread already so my point still stands. I searched and couldn't find it, the only mention of Emu4vita is in this thread. I don't know how you interpret my words, I guess you think I'm scolding or only negative? :/

 

[peter8]

I dont want your explaining ! so stop please

you couldn't find it, than you are wrong here.

But dont tell other people that there make mistakes !

Emu4VitaPlus_v0.03.vpk

Dosbox Pure core poor performance due to libretro core regression

->

Snowbro88 commented Nov 11, 2024

Hi, I've tested the new cores supported by Emu4vita plus and in the case of the Dosbox Pure core I can see that it has a bad performance, this is because at some point the core in retroarch was broken, there is an older version about a year old where the core works much better in performance and is able to run almost all 2D games full speed, I have a backup of that version (.elf and .info), I'm not sure if it's useful or possible to replace the core included with Emu4vita plus.
I also report that the Dosbox SVN core seems to not work, I haven't managed to load any game that at least starts in Dosbox Pure core, I just get a generic Vita error and the app closes.
I hope it can be reviewed, thanks for the work on this project.

 

[peter8]

Update - Emu4VitaPlus_v0.04.vpk

- Dosbox-pure roll back to 0.20.
- Support light gun & mouse, you can't play hunt duck of NES with touch screen now (set zapper on device port 1).
- Fix bugs.

Million thanks for try coding DosBox, I will test it...

My Report for Retroarch DosBox ->
https://gbatemp.net/threads/corrido...ta-pstv-retroarch-dosbox-core-working.638247/
(I need 486 DosBox, with this one we can install Win95, Retroarch go up to 286 after that framedrops and config error in second start)

 

[Snowbro88]

Colleagues, I invite you to report problems and suggestions for the development of Emu4vita++ and in this way obtain the best possible version of the app. The developer is quite attentive and answers our questions.

For example, not only the dosbox pure core was broken on Vita, the Atari ST Hatari and Amiga UAE4ARM cores are also broken in their latest version in retroarch and it would be interesting to add versions that work correctly to Emu4vita++, the same with pcsx which for some reason works worse in Emu4vita++ than in retroarch.

If they take suggestions do you think they can make standalone versions? I'd like a mame 2003 plus standalone core if possible.

 

[peter8]

hello Snowbro88

Thanks for your answer

I am highly interested in DosBox and PSX Emulation. I will test it to the limit. Will install later the new version4 and try out.
sonictopfan has right, we need for better testing standalone versions. otherwise its good enough.

biggest problem, performance...

on v3 (v4 install later)
- standalone when possible
- DosBox performance up to 486
- 3DO Emulator
- Jar Emulator / example -> PSP Emulator Java Nokia Motorola SonyEricsson PSPKVM 0.5.4 (Retroarch has a core, but Not working)
- Frameskip option 1 - 0 / single setting (different, need the original Frameskip option from the UNTOUCHED Emulator self)
- SNES performance update for Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3
- SNES performance for FX games like Starwing / Doom
- CHEAT files Hex files / example PSX Biohazard Demo Trial Version Time Limit Code
- Atari Jaguar ??? when possible

 

[Snowbro88]

Sure, there are several things that can be improved in Emu4vita++, for example a database so that arcade games show the name of the game instead of the rom.

I will try to report problems or suggestions on my own, but I speak Spanish and it is a bit difficult for me to explain myself, maybe you who speak English can report more easily, you just need a github account and write in the issues section.

@peter8

About Dosbox Pure unfortunately the core hasn't been fixed in years.

3DO core seems too much for PS Vita, same with Atari Jaguar, those systems require quite a bit of power.

About java games in jar format the emu pspkvm was never ported to retroarch, but there is hope that the squirrel jme core will finally work in retroarch according to its creator at the end of this year or beginning of next year.

I recommend only reporting irregularities or suggestions that are possible, systems that are at least playable in retroarch so that they have a version in Emu4vita for example Atari ST, Amiga, Sharp x68000.

I think that the Emu4vita dev only includes retroarch cores in his front end, he is not directly in charge of improving or optimizing the cores, he has to use old versions of cores that are broken for example, for these cases it would be easier to contact each core developer and see if he can fix it in his PS Vita version but there doesn't seem to be much interest.

 

[peter8]

thats the problem, I have no github account, my country is not safe so I have no email to activate one, only here.
my language is german native

will install new version 4 in some minutes, need time, i am sick, will testing DosBox

send this link to github, so the coder can read it

DO NOT use the Home button for settings, we need it for Exit.
DosBox has Freeze my PSTV, Home butten dont bring me back... Not good
