Paprium on Switch?

[ikynx]

Has anybody managed to get Paprium running in retroarch on the switch?
Seems somebody made a compatible fork of the Genesis Plus GX core, but the switch build seems broken. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, can somebody check please?

Try this (drop it inside your core folder)

Also, you are supposed to let the demo play before you can continue I think...

Happy to report that it works well, no lag or stutter, music and sfx fine, gfx fine, plays fine on the switch. OLED ads the extra contrast punch.

Meh game imho:

• Going overboard with the flickering everywhere (there should be an epilepsy seizure triggering warning) and the retro-neon style .
• Overall the colour palette looks a little off to my taste -> maybe the OLED gamut doesn't do it justice and a LUT table could rebalance colours (if that is even possible in retroarch)
• The game plays well, but it doesn't have the charm of SoR
• And the musics are completely forgettable.
• The art is debatable
• Probably a game made by a tech guy: the technical side is fine, the artistic direction..
• Probably also too old school gameplay to my taste, I'm not enough of a 1980's arcade purist.

No you lazy ass.

You just need to:
- copy the patches core to the cores folder of RetroArch,
- copy the ROM bin + the accompanying folder containing MP3 music tracks to some directory,
- check core is enabled in RetroArch settings
- run the ROM using that specific core from within RetroArch.

Tutorial  Thread 'Generate RetroArch NSP Forwarders (with proper icon and title)'

Jan 13, 2019

This tutorial will show you how to generate a RetroArch NSP Forwarder. The end result is a game on your HOME menu, and when you open it RetroArch is launched with the game directly running. Here's a video showing what it looks like (video by @bobdamnit).

I may or may not make an automated version of it, in a nice GUI, without any external dependency required. Time will tell. If someone wants to do it, go ahead.

Hello, I am using Switch OS 20.1 AMS 1.9.1, Retroarch 1.21 installed. When I launch the Paprium ROM, I get error 2168-0001. Do you know how to resolve this ? other games work very well

Are you using the correct modified core? That is the only one it will play on, normal RA cores will not work.

Then the answer is no, you are not using the correct core.

This game requires a specially modified core which I believe was posted a few posts above. Second post infact.
