Homebrew PSX Emulation?

[Orphen07]

That's exactly what I said. I never asked if he was using a CFW "file". I said, "Are you using CFW/the CIA version?" which was asking "Are you using Custom Firmware, or the CIA version?", just in a shorter-hand form. It wasn't the best way to word it, I'll admit.

I thought your wording was fine. I was late in editing my post, so I hadn't seen your explaination by the time I wrote what I did, so I apologize for the redundancy.

On another note, would it effect speeds depending on where the .CIA is installed?

The CIA can only be installed to the SD card. That's the only destination for the CIA.

It's fine.

What do you mean by where it's installed? SysNAND vs emuNAND? SD vs. NAND? If it's the latter, you can only really install the emulators to SD. If it's the former, there should be no difference if you're able to run homebrew CIAs (and thus have kernel access, which emuNAND always does, but sysNAND doesn't always have it without pasta/dev mode or A9LH).

It's the latter. Thank you both for clearing that up, as well as the informative responce for the former as well. I've never tried to install emulators to NAND, so, lesson learned.

Edit: Needed to thank Voxel Studios and daxtsu.

I really want a N64 emulator from RetroarchTeam :3
If they did a very good PSX emulator, why not 64?

For the most part, they don't really develop emulators. They might improve upon an emulator that's already there, a bit, but developing emulators isn't really the aim of Libretro.

Also on another note, how do I optimize SNES emulation to work better? I've got blargSNES and snes9x. blargSNES works well but I don't like the blurring effect, but with snes9x it runs badly but can turn off the blurring. Can I make snes9x run better or can I get blargSNES to turn off blurring?

I recommend you read through the OP in the Retroarch thread: https://gbatemp.net/threads/retroarch-emulation-thread-nightly-builds-included.400913/
It has a lot of useful information such as the latest stable version, what emulators are included, and which emulators work best on which system.

You might not want to even use snes9x; CATSF works well on the N3DS as far as SNES emulators go. pocketsnes can run some games like Mario RPG and Super Mario Kart better than CATSF if I recall correctly, since those games use special chips.

Please, let's not turn this into another 80 page long thread on why N64 emulation isn't coming to the 3DS. tl;dr, it's the processor types.

Omg that works really well! I'm getting 130 - 200 fps, thanks!

 

[Naked_Snake]

is there a dedicated thread to what PSX games run decent enough?

 

[Games&Stuff]

Is there a way to make the c-stick compatible with the cia version of the psx libretreto build? Also, what are the best setting for running psx games fast?

EDIT: Sorry for the bump :/
