Homebrew Retroarch Emulation Thread (Nightly Builds Included)

Where do you place the MAME Cheat Files?

Use the latest stable instead of nightly. Lately, the nightly builds just crash.

Does anyone else have slowdown issues with Final Fantasy 3 on CATSFC with a New3DS and sound enabled? I get down to 40 FPS in some towns/caves with the audio enabled and with it disabled, those same areas will only hit a max of 50 FPS. I tried playing around with settings and tried the other SNES emulators and it didn't help. Is that game just hard to emulate?

PocketSNES should play it at full speed but with sound bugs; From what I remember CATSFC just isn't fast enough. I've been playing the GBA version on gpsp with no issues, though.

Gotcha thanks for the info. I would have used another method to play it but I wanted to use patches specific to the SNES version and I couldn't get it to convert to VC right. Oh well no big deal.

Just grabbed the Latest Build of CIA Cores to see if I can finally run them. Crashes the System. All I get is
RetroArch [INFO] : : port dir: [sdmc:/retroarch/]

I think the nightlys are still bad.

Well I also tried running the .3dsx Builds as well. CATSFC works fine. However MAME '00 and '03 are both coming up with some Screen saying I have to select a Target. I hit Button A, then the Screen gets weird like I just started up Homebrew Launcher and crashes the System

Edit: OK, so apparently ALL the Cores run correctly EXCEPT the MAME Cores. No matter which Build I use in 3dsx Versions, I keep getting some Error where I have to set a Target. Like there is no set Directory the App can go to in order to start up the Core.

Edit: OK, I need some feedback. Those who are using GW and are able to run the LATEST Builds of RA in the CIA Installers, PM me please. Need to know what GW EmuNAND you are on. As my Signature says, I am on FW 9.2 with EmuNAND at 9.2 using the LATEST GW, but for some reason, I cant run RA via the CIA Installs. Everything comes up, but can NOT do anything. No Buttons, nothing. Latest I am aware of that works is a November 8th Build. 3dsx Builds work..........some anyway as I stated above.

Hasn't GPSP been crashing since the beginning? You're telling me that the latest stable build of it doesn't crash when switching games, or randomly?

I run the CIA's on my GW, using 10.7 Emunand. Stable 1.3.3 build. My MAME2000 works fine on most stuff, don't really run 2003 that much. I don't actually have my mame roms setup for .37 or .78 correctly, but I can run games like Black Tiger, Donkey Kong okay.

Latest stable gpsp works fine.

I tried the Awesome RetroArch for 3DS on gateway emunand 10.7 and all CIAs from the latest stable release seem to work perfectly. Of course I first dumped the sound firmware beforehand and installed the bios backups in the correct folder on the SD. Cheers :-)

Pretty much every core of the latest 3ds nightly builds of retroarch crash right after port dir.

Random question. Currently unable to try it myself, but is there a way to run RetroArch 3ds in Citra? The devs don't have 3ds's, so it could provide a good alley for testing.

EDIT: And um, I'm kind of amazed there's no issue about this on github. Guess I'll cover that.

You want an emulator to run on an emulator? WTF?

IIRC, even the stable builds has gPSP crashing randomly when playing games, which makes it really hard to make progress if you're always afraid that it'll crash at any point.

It is possible to get FF7 running ~60 fps on N3DS (cia) with PSCX?

So basically Update EmuNAND to 10.7 and the RA CIAs should work normally again? OK. Figured I would need to set up the Internet Access Point eventually. LOL

Well, if it can be used to debug the emulator that's being...emulated, then yes. It could also be a good test of Citra.
