Homebrew Retroarch Emulation Thread (Nightly Builds Included)

[SanThanh2013]

Hi, I'm using old 3ds firmware 9.2. emunand 10.4 and launch QuickNes CIA. My problem is when I load content (change game) > 3 times, my old 3ds crash and force restart. Can you guide me how to fix the problem?. Thanks. (Sorry my english is poor).

Nothing can be done about it from what I noticed. Have to restart the emulator each time you want to switch games.

On an N3ds on 10.4 using the current Ninjhax and Smealum's payloads, all cores in the latest Retroarch nighties crash when I try to exit using the Retroarch menu.

Also I've seen the flickering mentioned and have seen a little bit of it myself, was it something introduced recently? I don't remember it happening in the last nightly I used from back in November I think.

where do i find these bios files?, i have googled and googled and searched every popular emulation site on the internet no such files even exist, i can find spch5500.bin

but the other 2 bios files do not even exist , so do i even need all 3? or are these for 3 different regions? if so then which one is for which region?

Look harder, I found them quite easily, I just searched the bios name and then added download to the end of the search.

yes i did that, about 100 times i went to that paradise site iwent to that dope site, i went every place and the last 2 files are nowhere to be found

Well then look on other sites, there are more sites that host the BIOs files then just those 2, hell you could just google PSX BIOs downloads, found a few like that myself.

Well I can't give them to you here so you'll just have to keep looking.

That's what I did, I renamed that scph7003 file to scph5501. The md5 should be the same.

I managed to find all my BIOs files with the correct name (Didn't have to rename anything) so I don't know about renaming anything.

Why don't you just search retroarch bios? A LOT EASIER

Is it dangerous to install gpsp cia and ps1 cia on sysnand? I know that Retroarch don't support those in sysnand, only to emunand. But realistically, what could happen to have a ps1 emulator installed?

I only use sysnand. The emulators work fine.

 

[SLiV3R]

I just tried ps1 emulation. Rayman 1 is fullspeed! But there is no background music. Only sound effects. I'm still very impressed!

Cia build obviously ^^

So I've been messing around, and my takeaway so far is this:

Sega CD emulation is freaking incredible on Picodrive. Like the gods are smiling down, blessing me with pixel perfect Sonic CD, Lunar, and Popful Mail. Unreal. Why is the genesis family so smooth and freely emulated? Even by Sega themselves.

PCE CD emulation is pretty bad. Unfortunately, the sweet old-school anime cinemas run fairly slow with glitchy sound. The gameplay parts run ok, but I really just want sweet cinemas and redbook audio in truth. This is my biggest disappointment, as I adore PCE CD.

SNES emulation is mostly good but with some spotty drops in framerate, like Super Metroid at the ship it drops down to 45 fps or so. But mostly the bomb.

NEO-GEO emulation is incredible, as is CPS1 and CPS2. Really smooth, excellent framerates. Loving it.

That's about it! I'm LOVING my 3DS and with this emulation I'm DOUBLE LOVIN IT

Does Windows 95 not work on the stable build of RetroArch? It is just stuck on "Starting Windows 95".

Depends. There are those who have Gateway and it does not work. Frame Counter goes up, but that is it.

 

[mr_man_029]

So i have resident evil 2 running just about 59 frames the entire time besides cutscenes, but the game seems really fast. Is there a way to make it run at 30 frames and it be like consoles?

I have it running at the same framerate, though the speed of the game looks normal to me. I'm pretty sure you can limit the framerate by adjusting the screen refresh rate, but it would take forever to get it down to 30Hz as it only changes at increments of a thousandth of a Hertz. I have also failed to find any type of frame rate limitter in the settings other than adjusting the screen refresh rate. There must be an easier way to limit the framerate. Does anyone want to chime in?
