Hacking [RELEASE] PS4 RetroArch Port (Unofficial)

[Cyberfalcon]

I have that folder as well, and there's an eboot.bin inside. there's a data folder on the vita, and you shouldn't delete it or mess with it unless you know what you're doing. if there are cores inside there, it should be okay to delete them in the self folder, just don't delete the self folder itself. chances are nothing bad would happen even if you did, at most probably reinstall the firmware if it's important in some way:

I deleted the cores, there was no eboot for me. the self folder is empty. I have never manipulated this folder until now.

 

[godreborn]

the eboot for me may be related to the homebrew store, that would be my guess.

Probably, as I never installed any kind of store. I guess thats it.

Thank You Very Much for your help!

What are the dependencies for compiling this? Open orbis sdk? And is it the ps4 makefile or the orbis one?

iirc (i maybe wrong) I think some things in this port were using the official sdk, thats why its no longer maintained.
I think there is work being done to make an official PS4 port, I've seen a few posts on Twitter here and there with news about when they got some cores working. but that was a while ago.
I cant find where their gihub repo is.. If I can find that repo you could try compiling from that ?

well, that explains why I was never able to compile it. there's no "issues" tab on the retroarch github for some reason, so I made an issue on open orbis iirc. I have open orbis and orbis dev working on my computer, just need to get ps4sdk working, then I think I'll have all three ps4 unofficial sdk's working.

Thats great!, It would be nice to get some up to date Cores now that 9.0 is out in the wild
I think this maybe the repo? last updated 2 months ago sounds right..

okay, that uses ps4sdk, which I don't have.

ahh, ok. perhaps the repo is private then?

 

[godreborn]

I can get ps4sdk, I think, but I'm not sure how to compile/install it. that's the only sdk I have left for the ps4.

I can't tell what just happened:

I can get ps4sdk, I think, but I'm not sure how to compile/install it. that's the only sdk I have left for the ps4.

Are you using the toolchain repo from OsirizX?

EDIT: there also sdkvanilla.. https://github.com/orbisdev/orbisdev-sdkvanilla

I used this sdk:

[godreborn]

I have orbisdev working, but that orbis makefile requires ps4sdk. it will tell you what environmental variable it needs if it's not present.

 

[godreborn]

this is what I have saved. the first part where it says ORBISDEV or OO_PS4_TOOLCHAIN is the environmental variable that all homebrew use. they all use the same names depending on which sdk they used. orbis for retroarch says PS4SDK, so I assume it's talking about the one above:

 

[godreborn]

things compiled with openorbis and orbisdev do in fact compile, every one I've tried, but ps4sdk seems to have problems.

I dont know, have you got in contact with the orbisdevs?

 

[godreborn]

yes, I learned about it from lightning mods. there's going to be a build of retroarch using orbisdev, but it doesn't exist right now.

I guess thats what I saw on Twitter, they had GB, GBA, Nes and Snes running..

Hello! I made an account literally just to ask for help, because I'm literally going to explode. Every single person on the internet has said that PS1 games play flawlessly on Retroarch for PS4, but when I try booting up Spyro 1 the game crackles and is much slower. Can you please help me in understanding what I'm doing wrong? It's the ONLY core that's been giving me this issue, and if I'm being honest, it was the only one that mattered to me. 😭 I tried the only 2 cores this RA has and both have the same terribleness...
