Homebrew Retroarch Emulation Thread (Nightly Builds Included)

[enhasa]

what settings? vsync and audio sync? those dont help.

so far:
(PCSX: .cia, n3ds, 9.5 emunand, Retroarch 2016 Jan4)
Final Fantasy Tactics: 20fps with sound skipping (unplayable)
Xenogears: 35fps with sound skipping (somewhat playable, but with sound off)
Vagrant Story: 23fps with sound skipping (unplayable)
Star Ocean The Second Story: 50 fps with sound crackling (playable)
Suikoden 2: 50 fps with occasional spike down to 35 fps, sound is ok (playable)
this is based on the first 15min of gameplay.
...maybe somebody will find this useful to later compare with future pcsx builds.

Thanks for testing.
On n3ds 9.5 emunand Resident Evil 2 is sort of playable without sound. 30-50~ fps

I have tried to test the PCSX in Emunand (cia) that the fps is reduced from 59 to 30 when the audio playback is XA format (CD streaming) started.
For a developer, you may optimize the XA data access plugin to give more fps (Perhaps the DSP plugin may be a way out of this solution).

Finally got around to running emunand on an N3DS.

Spyro gets about 20 FPS ingame with some parts of loading screens and stuff getting as much as 40.

kernel access seems to make all the difference.

Haven't been paying attention for the last few weeks. Has anything great happened?

Not all emulators will use dynarec. It depends on how they're coded to do emulation, though dynarec is rather popular with RetroArch cores it seems. All the cores might be designed for it, I haven't really taken a look at them. Anyway, my point is try out the cores yourself. If you only use ones with dynarec support, you might miss out on ones that run fullspeed regardless.

As for DSP audio, that's more of a driver issue. It just needs more work.

You could have just said no instead of all that irrelevant stuff friend

Does GPSP ever randomly crash for everyone, forcing the system to shutdown?

Specs:
N3DS 9.5 emunand Rxtools
Region: USA

Cia version, nightly from 1-10-16

 

[Heran Bago]

Looks like it shows up now, good..

but alas, an error. "Failed to load audio driver, starting without Audio.." then Crash/Reboot.

RX9.2E, using the CIA install, latest nightly.

Did I not save the settings right or something?

Read the last several pages of this thread. I recall someone else had the exact same problem with the latest nightlies and one of the GBA emulators.

Most people like to know the reason when a question is answered. I wouldn't consider it irrelevant, either, as this is a forum. Even if it doesn't matter to you, someone might come across your question and my answer from a google search, and that information might be something they wanted.

Not sure if anyone else would consider this great, but I played Lemmings in dosbox and it ran perfectly. (Well except for the mouse y axis being inverted making it a bit tricky)

 

[tatundria]

Are overlays being implemented?

 

[Drak0rex]

Will rotation ever be fixed?

 

[froggydarren]

i want this feature manly for gba and gbc would be great

Anyone know why this happens in gpsp core? I tried two roms, wario 4 and Mario Advance 3.

I've put GBA.bios in the system folder, could that be causing it?

so, I guess you didn't read the last page or so, where I JUST had and solved this issue?

1: make sure the MD5 of the file matches the one in the OP.
2: Rename the file to gba_bios.bin
3: Put it in retroarch/cores/system.
4: ???
5: Profit!

Quick question, is there an amiga and/or SEGA 32X emulator ?

 

[Xen0]

Wasn't here for a while, is the psx emulator .cia playable on o3ds? Especially Digimon World.

If it's not on the list, it doesn't exist.

Nope. o3ds doesn't have the power to be able to run ps1.

Likely not. Start Begging for Reigitize - Decode?
