Homebrew [Release] Unofficial Retroarch 3DS

[Rinnegatamante]

DISCLAIMER: I'm not the creator of this emulator, all credits goes to libRetro team ( http://www.libretro.com/ ). I just compiler latest commit of their Github repository.

Here you can find some Retroarch build with ported libretro cores:

14/04/15: [MD/SG/SMS/GG/MDCD] Retroarch Genesis Plus GX v.1.7.4 (3DSX): http://rinnegatamante.netsons.org/retroarch_genesis.rar
14/04/15: [GBA] Retroarch gPSP 0.9.1 (3DSX): http://rinnegatamante.netsons.org/retroarch_gpsp.rar
14/04/15: [GBC] Retroarch Gambatte 0.5.0 (3DS, CIA, 3DSX): http://rinnegatamante.netsons.org/retroarch_gambatte.rar

NOTE: gPSP and Genesis Plus GX [if you want to start MegaDrive CD titles] require BIOS file.

I suggest to disable Audio from Driver and Audio options cause it seems to make unstable emulator causing random freezes.

So each Core is gonna be a separate Launcher?


THX for this gonna check it out

Tried to make a multicore launcher but seems cores are not correctly recognized for now.

 

[Rinnegatamante]

Added MegaDrive, Sega GEnesis, Mega Drive CD, Sega Master System core.

Are the Retroarch guys taking this seriously or is it just a pet project sort of thing?

 

[Adeka]

It runs GBA??? Any games run a full speed?

 

[ShadowOne333]

Has anyone tried running this as CIA with several cores that could give some feedback for performance?

 

[Death78793]

Running either GB or GBA (3dsx) crashed to the home menu and asked to restart the system. Might be a success rate thing on this one.

 

[Rinnegatamante]

For my tests, gPSP always crashes, Genesis freezes with Mickey Mouse Timeless Adventures and Contra and Dragon Ball Z Legendary Superwarriors runs fullspeed with Gambatte.
All tests done with audio disabled.

 

[Death78793]

I found out what was making the 3dsx crash:

When it initializes, it gets stuck parsing the retroarch.cfg in sdmc:retroarch/. Since there is no cfg to be found, the emulators crash.

 

[Rinnegatamante]

cfg file is automatically created at first launch.

 

[Death78793]

That's weird. I'll keep checking.

EDIT: Disregard my posts. Not working on N3DS, but it does work on O3DS

 

[SLiV3R]

Cool! Hopefully the Megadrive/Genesis part eventually will work well

 

[Retr0Capez]

DAMMIT! NO NES SUPPORT!

Tomorrow i'll try to compile Nestopia or bNES core and see if it works.

Thank you. For 3DSX right? I NEED MY FAMICOM AND MARIOOOOO

Do GBA games run without lag?

It crashes, and I doubt it would be any different from CitrAGB in interpreter mode since we both base our stuff on gpsp. Unless they actually try to pull from ARM11 kernel.

 

[Retr0Capez]

Maybe make a folder for the 3DSX version...? I made my own and put it in, but it wont show up in the homebrew launcher.

I said this on the other thread but it seems like the new one made it invisible:
gpsp crashes because it is missing the bios, you need to save it as sdmc:/retroarch/cores/system/gba_bios.bin

also disable vsync, since it runs under 60fps and vsync will only hurt it more.
