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.

Holy crap, Resistance Retribution working on latest build.

But Killzone Liberation and Metal Gear ACID 2 crash for some reason

Seems it fixes LittleBigPlanet too (previous blank blue screen when starting gameplay)

I have no idea what you changed that is caused that. You might have to delete your Retroarch cfg and start over. I've never had that problem so I can't say "change setting x to y"

Gran Turismo is running buttery smooth on new build.

so the Ridge Racer 2 here too :rofl2: didnt notice the new build yet where did you get the new build? is it with jit yet?
 
Gotta pay to play. A measley one dollar a month and you can cancel anytime. Yes it has jit.

Although oddly Gran Turismo was racing smooth but the menus skip usually most games are the opposite.

where do u pay?
 
Just tried it, and it still showing IR jit, it’s slow still.

You have to join the discord channel and get the link from there after paying. It should have been right on the page after paying and you get an email with your rewards. Mine has jit as the default choice.

Did you download JITFIX_ppsspp_libretro_libnx.7z from #exclusive-content? You probably downloaded the public release right on the link I gave that's for those that don't pay you won't jit with that. You didn't want to cough up a buck (thought you could get it for free) and you're complaining that it isn't working right lol.
