Okay guys, is the SNES9x2010 savestates problem still present?
I think I know why that happens.

The only SNES game I am having save state issues with is Super Mario RPG. It freezes and won't play, after opening saved state. You can play just fine and save it, but when you open it back up, the game is no longer playable... Something like that, what you were talking about?

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

Yep did all these things. What other version is there? 2.12.

2.13e has some bug and folder fixes. From the Release page:

• Fixed huge bug in folder manager when new folders were missed after first sync.

Thought it may help in your case

Read my previous post about 0.4.1, there was a different issue.
If savestates for other games work fine, the issue you're having with SM RPG looks like core bug.

Hi guys.

I can't detect the bios of neo-geo..

It doesn't work for me this way:

I added neogeo.zip in the \ user_mods \ bios_images.hmod \ etc \ folder \ system folder

I install it in module as always and it will not. solution?

 

[Hacking_Myself]

@pcm720 , if I want to update cores, I necessarily have to uninstall previous versions?

Thanks. I had read your previous post, after posting my original question, lol. I have since installed new release and reflashing games, since I already had changed some command lines previously.

Nice catch with the large save states! Keep up the great work @pcm720 !

You have to put the bios in the game folder.

I tried:
Mario Kart - works ok, played many cups. I am eager to try battle mode when my second controler arives
Mario 64 - save state not working, gameplay ok
GoldenEye - slow, audio issues
Extreme G - almost smooth, but graphical issues (road disappears)
Castlevania - ok

How can I adress these issues for GoldenEye and Extreme G?

No, the way I say is to save space, so use the same bios for all other cores/games.

thx.

so there new release, do we need update hmod? or no cause its 4.1 extra? Or do we justu ninstall SNES 9x2010 and install snes 2005

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

Also guys what games runs smooth on the N64 cores? and which cores.

we should compile list. I know i heard mario 64 and doom work good. I seen video mario kart 64 working pretty good too

Increased/optimized 204x204 .pngs with transparencies icons for hakchi folders manager:

If you have the time, could you make a couple more images? (I love these, and am using them right now).

Could you make one that has just a note/notes on it (for video game music).

And perhaps another one that says something like "Miscellaneous Games". I like the format of these, so I was hoping you might have time to make some in the same way.

*Sigh…* Why do I keep updating the readme if no one reads it?
It's all there:

Spoiler

How to use this

1. Go to "releases" tab and download the newest release.zip
2. Unpack release.zip anywhere you want
3. Copy retroarch.hmod and the cores you want (.hmod files from cores and extra_cores folders) to user_mods directory of Hakchi2.
4. Install the modules (all modules can be installed in one go) via Hakchi2's Modules menu.
5. Add the games as usual

The newest version is now 0.4.1:
https://github.com/pcm720/retroarch-clover/releases/latest
Changes:

• Apparently, there is a bug in the snes9x2010 core that causes it to create 5 MB savestates (thus rapidly filling up NES Mini's data partition). Because of that, we're using snes9x2005 as a main core from now on.

Here's the bug on libretro's snes9x2010 GitHub repo:
https://github.com/libretro/snes9x2010/issues/89

This is a big deal. The snes9x2010 is a much better core for gameplay purposes (with the exception of a few titles, namely Yoshi's Island), but obviously save states are important. When you say the snes9x2005 is now going to be the default core, I'm a bit confused...don't we manually install cores, thus making it our preference anyway? When I updated to 2.13e, I installed your latest version (0.4) and chose to install only gambatte and snes9x2010 cores. There was no "default." Can you explain a little more?

Yeah I'm uncertain about this too. Also very conflicted about what to do now--since it looks like a choice between better gameplay or more save states.

You can't, you have to put the bios in the game folder or it won't work. It works this way.

 

[alcab]

Sorry for asking again. I've been searching the thread but I've been unable to locate the answer to this question, though I know it's been asked a few times. I'm talking about the analog stick when playing N64 games with glupen core. Games like Mario 64 cannot be played properly because when going in diagonal direction the character doesn't run.

If anyone could help me solve this issue, I'd be very grateful.

In any case, thanks a lot to clusterM and pcm720 for their amazing job!!

I believe that the "fbalpha2012_neogeo_libretro" core is programed to only look at the game directory for the BIOS files. This fact was even mentioned in the .info file.

Default cores are the ones that you see in "cores" folder of release.zip.
I obviously can't include a core that has a bug this serious as a main one.

Anyway, you still can use snes9x2010. Just don't use savestates.

@pcm720 Hi guy ! Thank you for your great job. Is it possible to switch side in FDS NES games without using retroarch menu ? Thank you very much. Rgs.

 

[Baggins]

Is there a list of the command line options available?

Is the force fceumm command? --core fceumm?

I forced nestopia on something and ended up preferring the fceumm, but it won't stay on the other.

 

[kaz321123]

Question, is there an emulator supported by RetroArch that can play Neo Geo Pocket Color games? Just wondering... Thanks!

Install: mednafen_ngp

Use 'ngp' in the command line.
