PPSSPP Switch Beta Release

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 ;)

Libretro Docs (important informations for this core):
https://docs.libretro.com/library/ppsspp/
Official Game Compatibility Tracker (your mileage might vary): https://report.ppsspp.org/games

GitHub (WIP Switch): https://github.com/m4xw/ppsspp/
GitHub (Official): https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp

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.

This isn't working for me at all... I launch homebrew with a game holding R. I launch Retroarch. Selected the PPSSPP core. When I select my game, it goes into a black screen and then I get an error and closes down Retroarch. ...Whhhhy?

Probably missing BIOS, get them and put them in retroarch/system/PPSSPP (create folders as needed).

Either that or missing assets.

in lakka everything is fine but on horizon with retroarch i always get a software crash . : ( any idea ? im on atmosphere .
got it to work , i deleted the nro and the ppsspp folder in retroarch , redownlaod and re extracted , then i add the asset folder of https://codeload.github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/zip/master in the ppsspp folder + the system folder just in case and now it work , not sure wich part fixed it but now i dont get software error .

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

Turn video threaded on, switch audio driver to switch_thread, turn rewind off.
Restart RA.
Rewind is probably the culprit.
Doesnt work with many cores.

ooooo i did delete the retroarch general config file too , i had the rewind binded before too : o

Anyone knows what the best settings are to play Tactics Ogre LuCT with high resolution and no lag ? Any res higher than 480x272 ends up causing stutters both ingame and in the main menu.

I'd love to play the game on higher resolutions, since 480p makes it look pretty blurry.
