PPSSPP/Libretro Switch Public Beta by m4xw
==========================================

After a lot of work, I am very happy to share this with all of you.
Audio & Video support works, many core options cause Issues tho.

It is mandatory to "Close Content" after changing any Core option and restarting RetroArch, else it will potentially crash, don't close the RetroArch menu!

Special thanks to hrydgard for everything he has done for the PPSSPP Project.
If you want to support his work, consider buying PPSSPP Gold https://central.ppsspp.org/buygold even if you don't use it!

I will PR it once the libretro port is finished, also implemented half of what's needed for a Standalone port
Source is on my Github, but it's highly WIP and needs a custom RA and a custom ffmpeg, so you should just wait if you want to build it yourself

Installation Instructions
==========================================

Drag & Drop the "retroarch" folder to the root of your SD, overwriting any file (it will not touch any options).
Assets are bundled, so you don't have to bother with that.

Notes
==========================================

If you are using ANY method of loading RetroArch OTHER than Atmosphere's title redirection feature, DO NOT report issues that you encounter.
These issues can skew testing and could very well be caused by loading through an unsupported method.

Video slowdowns are related to missing hardware accelerated decoding (nvdec), it's not a libretro/PPSSPP Issue.
FMV cut-scenes will be fine.

Updates
==========================================

Added JIT and JIT Vertex Decoder Support
- When loading Savestates with JIT, make sure to instantly open the RetroArch Menu again and wait for it to complete loading
- This is a libretro specific bug (not switch port related) and will be fixed later on

==========================================

-Added Vertex JIT Core option (turning it off fixes some games currently)
-Added Disable slow Framebuffer effects Core option (Speedhack)
-Increased Savestate Chunk size to 4MB (speeds up savestate load, ~2sec)
-Band-Aid for Savestate load + Save (no more opening menu for them to work)
-Renamed "IR JIT" to "IR Interpreter"
-Removed Threaded IO Core option (non-functional)
-Removed Non-Buffered Rendering Core option (non-functional)
-General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience.

Any way to open that I'm game menu from the emulator this core is based on? I'm trying to enable and disable cheats manually from the core or game

No, but you can enable cheats in the core options (at the very bottom, you might need to enable advanced settings in RA first)
I might finish the standalone port too, like i wrote, half of whats needed for that is done.
Take a look at the libretro docs.

Looking forward to test this, anyone tried any GTA games yet?

These only run good with JIT, so you will need to be a bit more patient.

Thank you for all your hard work! Now I can play Final Fantasy Tactics: War on the Lions on my switch!

 

[Nincompoopdo]

Thank you!

It's going to be funny running Locoroco on Switch.

IR JIT at max switch clock speed.

Tekken Dark Res = 52 fps
Tekken 6 = 41 FPS

Not bad at all. PPSSPP code bases are really well coded.

I'll wait a bit, I want it to run Dracula X Chronicles and I'm very patient
Great job tho, you did a huge work on N64, I couldn't have guessed that we could get PSP emulation so quickly, thank you for that

Hi!
I open the Retroarch via album and my backups of psp doesn't work.
I did:
1- Load core and choose PPSSPP.
2- Load content and select the game.

 

[m4xw]

I open the Retroarch via album

Don't do that.

IR JIT at max switch clock speed.

GT = 2X FPS.
Summon Night 5 = Full speed.
Soul Calibur stuck at Now Loading.
OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast currupt menu.

Now I can play PSP games on the go!

Currently it only supports "IR JIT" (which is basically a more optimized Interpreter) and "Interpreter", proper JIT (dynarec) support is still in the works.
Audio & Video support works, many core options cause Issues tho.

No wonder it's called Playstation Portable!
