That quite underwhelming isn't it after all the hype and drama? From barely usable to slightly more usable if the emulation is under-clocked.

Maybe thats why Rinne publicly distanced himself from it because what looked like progress was actually smoke and mirrors.

I actually just posted this on my way to work... Forget the drama.. Does it work better that's all I'm here for.. Will test ASAP

I don't think it will. Look at the readme:

Tweaks & Issues
- The emulator seems to memleak (probably related to some issues clearing some cache during emulation) thus causing games to degrade in performances during long runs and eventually even crashing the emulator due to out of memory. We STRONGLY suggest to take savestates often in order to not lose progresses.
- Due to the nature of CHD and CDI dumps (compressed), GDI dumps must be preferred for best performances.
- It's recommended to use PAL dumps and to stick to TV Composite option for the Cable option. This will make games to run with 25 fps/50 fps as target (Like EU TVs at the time) instead of 30 fps/60 fps. Due to the lower fps target, games will run smoother with these settings.
- The new kubridge requires enso. If you don't have it, install it. It also has been tested only on 3.60 and 3.65 fw.
Suggested Options Setup
On the compatibility list, you can find a perfect options setup for each game. A good starting options setup is the following:
General
-----------------------------
Cable: TV Composite
Video
-----------------------------
Transparent Sorting: Per Strip
Automatic Frame Skipping: Normal
Shadows: Disabled
Fog: Disabled
Texture Filtering: Default
Use Mipmaps: Enabled
Use Simple Shaders: Enabled
VSync: Disabled
Native Depth Interpolation: Disabled
Internal Resolution: 640x480 (Native)
Audio
------------------------------
Enable DSP: Disabled
Advanced
-------------------------------
CPU Mode: Dynarec
Idle Skip: Enabled
Use Neon SIMD: Enabled
Downclock Ratio: 1.500
Self-Modifying Code Checks: Off
Enable UPnP: Disabled
HLE BIOS: Disabled
Multi-threaded emulation: Enabled

It only seems faster due to the downlock ratio. Try it and let us know, I think it will be underwhelming due to this quiet little fact that wasn't previously mentioned.

I tried using the method described
This ver exits without working.
It stops working on the first screen and shows an error

Not sure why it doesn't work
Is it a bug in this version?

Might be too many plugins at once perhaps

I saw on a reddit thread that using autoplugin to get the latest version of kubridge results in an older version.

Did you use this method or get it from gitbub?

 

[japan_monkey1111]

Get it from gIthub
I don't use the (auto plugin) because I hate it

Hmm there must be a fix somewhere online.. I will have a look see

 

[japan_monkey1111]

from 3.65enso_ex
3.60 I will give up if it is not fixed by changing to enso
thank you

 

[godreborn]

I built it for you. I had to use msys, since debian only goes to 3.18 for cmake, and it requires cmake 3.20 or higher:

 

[japan_monkey1111]

thank you very much

Operation confirmed with 3.65enso_ex
flycast 1.0 started and immediately stopped with an error

Fewer plugins
I rewrote the priority of the plugin many times

I have reinstalled many times
It didn't come true to stop at the error screen and see the operation.
give up and use initial build 0.1
sorry for the inconvenience
I sincerely apologize

did you try the kubridge.skprx above? the cmake file was updated like a month ago.

 

[japan_monkey1111]

上記の kubridge.skprx を試しましたか? cmake ファイルは 1 か月前のように更新されました。

Of course I tried
but with disappointing results

I am sorry

 

[godreborn]

alright. mine is around the same size as the one on github. not sure why, but yours is over double the size. maybe there's a fork for it.

 

[AshuraZro]

I think its pretty damn impressive to see Dreamcast running on the Vita. I'll never try this but kudos to them for doing it.

 

[godreborn]

maybe it's enso ex?
