Anyone tried citra with this ??

 

Played around with Dolphin and Geometry Wars Galaxies plays great. Somehow runs even faster using OpenGL than with Vulkan? Seems to be full speed even with stock handheld clocks.

Very weird.

 

So, I just tried this for a couple of minutes and only the DC stuff that I got. I didn't try NAOMI/Atomiswave or anything that, AFAIK, apparently depends on WinCE's functions to work. Part of the reason for the rushed testing is that my Switch's battery was about to bite the dust and it seemed like plugging the portable battery I like to use wasn't charging it. Granted, this was using the fast charging USB port of the battery (it's that really large and heavy Imuto one from Amazon with the percentage counter to tell you how much it's charged up), and I know for the Joy-Con grips they will only charge on the USB charging hub that I got on the non-turbocharge USB ports. Usually, it doesn't charge the system up while it's active, it only slows the battery drain down for all practical intents and purposes regardless of whether the Switch is running OFW or Lakka in this case. I'm just curious, does the USB-C port just not work when running Lakka?

And to move on to another concern of mine, and maybe I just didn't notice this when running games and other homebrew, but this is the first time I paid any mind to the sound the Switch tablet itself makes. And I have to say, I could hear the hum of my fan going while running Reicast. Maybe I just didn't notice it until now, or maybe I'm just being extra cautious as this is my first time actually running this CFW solution! I'll have to test this out!

All that being said, I did try a few games out not called Sonic Adventure 1 or 2 or either of the Shenmue games. Unlike with the Reicast port to Horizon (not to knock that port in any way, I wish them the best of luck and hell, I wish the best of luck to everyone developing homebrew for the Switch!), I can say that everything rendered correctly, and at full speed with just minor hiccups not unlike the performance of an ODroid XU4 (the only games with significant slowdown that I tried was Virtua Fighter 3tb because 60fps and Virtua Tennis 1, which are both playable, with the latter just slowing down during transitions between the gameplay and cutaways after points are scored or points are won, though it did seem like it was slower than usual), if a little better and this is without having changed any settings as I was pressed for time as my battery was ticking towards 0% (seriously, is there NO way to upgrade the internal battery on the Switch!?). So I haven't tried Vulkan and compared its performance to OGL which I'm sure is going to be a step up.

I also haven't tried Yabause or anything GC because none of that was on my MicroSD card when I was trying all of this out. I'm giving my hacked Switch some time to charge here before doing anything else so I can actually dig in, because the potential of Lakka, hell, the potential of anything Ubuntu or Linux or Open Source on this device has me excited for the future, and I'm glad that I can play this and actually hear the games. While everything isn't ready feature-wise, the potential this CFW has for bringing retro games that otherwise would never make it to the Switch because of licensing reasons (*looks at the Capcom Vs. games*) and others on the go is something that I'm sure would blow my older brother's mind who got the Dreamcast on launch in '97/'98!

 

@natinusala Dock support was removed because bluetooth's not currently working with L4T Lakka?
I have a NS Adapter, that would have worked right? Since the Controller connects through that and doesn't use the Switches own bluetooth connection? I guess the Gamecube Adapter would work too?

 

It's also because the current controller mapping is hardcoded into RetroArch, any other controller plugged into the dock will mess things up and make the Joy-Cons unusable. I need to take care of that first.

If you're trying to play a Wii game, use the WAD format

 

Too lazy to read the first post?

 

i didnt see a core of it

 

have you tried formatting your card with Panasonic SD card formatter? (if its under 64 gb)

 

I am very impressed with how well performance has improved for Super Mario Strikers on Dolphin!

I was wondering if anyone can give advice on other settings I can try?
I tried like this:
Vulkan for driver
over clock settings GPU 691 Mhz, CPU 1785 MHz

Audio is choppy and FPS drops to 40’s. Threaded video option didn’t make a difference. It’s almost perfect though! I look at the countdown timer during the soccer match (to observe the seconds are actual seconds) and it’s running at full speed mostly, just slows down when there’s a lot happening on the screen. Also, during the loading screen, the screen messes up for like 20 seconds, but then it’s all good again and you’re in the match.

 

Can someone, having good overall performance on dolphin and reicast, link their retroarch.cfg?
Honestly I think I'm messin too much with my configs and I'm not perfectly sure of what it's productive and what's not... Hope someone will be that kind.
