Software RetroArch 1.8.2 released

Vita2D is the Default I think. Being used, as I do not change it. All Settings are Default.
FBA has same Issue. FBA2012 seems to do MUCH better, but no Cheats can be used.

 

For anyone having trouble with Manual Scan (ie, your DAT/XML file isn't listed in the file browser when trying to specify an Arcade DAT), check the comments here for a workaround:

https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/9894

Short version:
Settings > Directory > File Browser - must be set to a folder on the same drive as your ROMs and DAT file. Any folder will do, it just has to be set to one on the same drive.

 

Oh, so your previous statement was not about comparing fbneo to earlier version of fbneo, maybe you should be careful with words, it's misleading.
Yeah, fbneo is more accurate & featured than the old fork, hence the higher requirements, and while we try to keep things playable on old machines (some people in the team are using 20 years old computers) we can't do miracles for even slower machines.
Whatever, i gave you the core options that might help with your case, feel free to toy with them or to use the old fork.

 

They were working better before though. Especially FBA.

 

Better is different from faster.
Furthermore, with the cyclone & emulated cpu underclocking features, fbneo can probably be faster than fbalpha2012 for cps emulation, while still providing a better emulation.
I don't think running cps at full speed with fbalpha2012 on psvita is possible in the first place, psvita seems worse than a raspberry pi 1 in terms of raw performance, and raspberry pi 1 can't play cps at full speed with fbalpha2012, it might be possible with fbneo and smart core options choices though.

 

Hope someday nswitch can play GameCube,vita, and so on without android os though retroarch
And hope better nds support on nswitch soon

 

FBA2012 seems to work perfectly. Only problem is that Cheats can not be Searched for or even Used if you have them. FBA was working perfectly as well. Cheats could be created, used, and could run pretty much any CPS1/2 Game with no Issues noticed. Now, it is like only 2012 is good.

 

Just tried and it seems like the improved gpSP core is there on Vita. GBA Doom ran at silky smooth 60fps without overclocking, pretty nice.

 

No they don't "work perfectly", cps's qsound emulation was inaccurate and got upgraded in may 2019, maybe 1 week before we changed name, which is what bumped hardware requirements.
We don't plan on reverting back to inaccurate emulation because someone doesn't want to optimize his settings (as i said, it's probably just a matter of tuning core options) on a device that is slower than a 20 years old computer, so feel free to keep using fbalpha2012 if you are fine with inaccurate sound in cps games.

 

sounds good

Retroarch 1.8.5 released:

Spoiler: Changelog

New default menu

Based on the results of a popular vote poll we held on Twitter, Ozone is now the default menu driver moving forward for RetroArch. If you still would like to use the previous menu (XMB), you can still do that – just go to Settings, Drivers, change Menu to ‘xmb’, and restart RetroArch.

There are also some important changes made to the scaling of the Ozone menu. It now scales based on DPI, and you are also able to configure the scaling to whatever suits your preferences. The widgets/notifications are now also scaled appropriately.

Do note that Lakka will stay with the XMB menu as the default menu, but you will definitely be able to switch to Ozone there as an optional feature.

There have also been plenty of important Quality of life improvements made to the menu. To learn more about this, see the section ‘Changelog’.

Important bugfix/crash fixes

An important bug has been fixed which would prevent RetroArch from launching on 64-bit x86 Chromebook hardware.

The threaded video driver on Linux was previously very unstable with OpenGL. We have managed to fix the majority of these issues.




1.8.5

• 3DS: Keep the bottom screen hidden on sleep/wakeup. When the 3DS wakes back up after being closed, the bottom screen needs to be reinitialized. Adding the condition here will cause the screen to be turned on or off based on the state of ctr_bottom_screen_enabled, as you’d expect
• ANDROID/CHROMEBOOK/CRASH: Fix Chromebook crashes (on x86 x64) when touching the screen
• BUGFIX: Prevent double input when using ‘return’ key (hardware) to close on-screen keyboard

Ozone is now the default menu? k...

Not that it's a bad thing, but feels like a step backwards. Yes, I'm aware XMB is still there.
