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.

Do you think some games like MegaMan X Maverick Hunter, Monster Hunter Frontier and others which stutter in the intro FMV will be fix someday?

Prince of persia revalations boots into black screen now with jit, works withir jit tho, but unplayable.
Rival swords works fine with jit (no sound in the intro), but for some reason forward and left movement controls are very low sens so that prince only walks in those deirections when he is supposed to run, and i dont know how to fix it.
Medievil Resurrection needs changing controls sens, boots fine, plays also fine, but as soon as you pick up an item in the starting room it freezes

How to unlock fps please?

Public PPSSPP with JIT release, first post has been updated, make sure to read the Update notes.
If games still have Issues to boot, disable all hacks + unsafe func replacement.

i'm really grateful for your hard work.you made my Switch twice as good,actually i'm not lying if i said PPSSPP & PCSX_ReArmed are the best thing about my Switch,they are a prefect match for the Switch too.

by the way i noticed it says FINAL on the Jit core release,does this mean you will not be releasing any future updates !!?? also was pcsx_rearmed by you ?

So I'm finding a lot of games are working well and running near, if not full speed, however increasing the internal resolution seems to just flat out crash retro arch. Any ideas?

 

[FanNintendo]

it runs almost perfect:

Jit hasnt public yet that why im waiting thanks for head up im jealous also I notice messed up at the intro title when the cloud come in or out it keeps skipping scence.

If you go into options you can't go back to the game, because then retroarch simply crashes. You need to close content, change core and then open the PSP game again. Then there will be no crash en everything works fine.

It has been released to the public, look a few post back.

You don't have to change Core. Change settings, save, back out, close content, back button, go back to the game under the quick menu, run.

If it's the 1 where too many options are jumbled to the left stick, be sure Retropad and Analog is on, but Left Analog is off.

 

[bad361]

no, i know about that bug..its not the case..ive turned off left analog, it kinda works but instead of running forward/left the char only walks in those directions, but he runs right, back and diagonally just fine, so only forward and left are bugged. Tried changing sens in input settings, no luck.. Also checked my stick calibrations, it work as it should.

Spiderman 3 crashes just when entering the hotel. Just here to drop that in.

Read the README, also turn off all the speedhacks..

If I do that I get blackscreen with only sound no video. Turned all hacks off already.

 

[arjunpatel]

i can hear the music for dantes inferno and the fps says 37.7 but no video
