Homebrew Retroarch Emulation Thread (Nightly Builds Included)

[democracy]

Seriously, I love the slight 3D Effect in RA now
Some suggestions I have:
Make Button Mapping for FBA CPS1 and NeoGeo so Users can have them set Per Game as they are used to. FBA combined Core has this, but if you make a Game Based Input Mapping Layout, it will not Transfer over from FBA to FBACPS1/NeoGeo Cores.
MAME 2000 has the Ability to have the MAME Config Menu. But need to know where Config Files go such as the Input Mapping and also the Cheat.dat File. Placed it in so many Locations, but it wont come upView attachment 46528

3D works in retroarch now??!! Can you please elaborate what I need to get that up and running? Thanks!

It is just a Slight 3D Effect during the Games. But if you access the RA Menu while you are running a Game, you will see it. Just turn the 3D Slider on full.

Install the latest nightly build. However, I think it's still broken on N3DS.

I guess i'll know for sure soon, all emulators?

Yes. But on the N3DS, there is Screen Tearing on the Left Side. Dont know about the O3DS. Now just need to know where to place MAME Support Files

 

[Fatalanus]

indeed. Huge tearing in N3DS for the 3D effect. It's not super super effective, but I think I can see a small difference with the 3D slide put at maximum. The menu in 3D is fucking impressive, by the way.
those crash on gpsp are just so annoying. There is not a log detailling why this emulator crashes like that?

 

[democracy]

Hmm, yes screen tearing on left and right, is the 3D effect stronger on a O3DS?

 

[Smoker1]

No idea. Since I had my N3DS, my O3DS has been collecting dust. LOL

Well it's exciting to see the devs are interested in 3D on retroarch!

 

[Radius4]

Actually, I have had it in the same Directory with all the rest of my BIOS. Now Sonic CD wont work like it did before. Remember, I was going on a much older Build. Just recently became able to use a newer Updated more efficient Build.

I gave you a complete factual answer, you can check your configs and listen to me, or keep ignoring the facts.

 

[kenseiden]

It could be that he also might have switched between Genesis Plus GX and Picodrive. Since each emulator expects different filenames for CD bios files, that might account for why Sonic CD isn't working for him anymore. That's my guess.

 

[Smoker1]

Actually I found that PicoDrive works with Mods better and wont Lock Up. Im just saying, I had my BIOS in the Directory I listed for the longest while with no Problems. But yes, I did move them to the Dir mentioned Radius4, and yes, everything works beautifully. Just love what has been done since November. 5 Months stuck on a Older Build, can seriously see improvements. Just wishing the VB Core got a boost in FPS.

Edit: Street Fighter: The Movie runs in MAME 2003 at around 20FPS

 

[CapoCEO]

The RA for the 3ds both o3ds and n3ds are really fine and I am going to hold off on the newer nightly builds until the devs corrected the 3d effect. Btw anyone got spiderman to work on mame or mame2003 my dump isn't working hoping someone got theirs to work.

Hi, I'm trying to make PCSX Rearmed work on my n3DS. I installed the latest stable .cia version, but when I load a game the console freeze on this bottom screen for 5 seconds:

Spoiler

Then goes back to the home menu, en error pops up and console get rebooted. How can I solve this? Thank you.

Forgot to add that I have the SCPH file in the system folder, and that I'm using other retroarch emulators succesfully, I have problems only with this one.

that is weird, what CFW are you using, can you try using one with only signature/emunand patches and see if it works ?

 

[gaboumafou]

Anyone managed to get Rondo of Blood to run perfectly on Mednaden PCE Fast? It's got a line of colored pixels at the bottom of the screen, and it fluctuates between 52 and 60 fps which is just enough to be distracting.

EDIT: I'm on the latest stable by the way.

 

[Billy Acuña]

WOW!!!
What kind of magic did used to get 3D on emulators, @aliaspider ?

Is there a way to rotate the screen in Retroarch with MAME? I installed the 2000 and 2003 cias, but most Namco arcade games (Ms. Pac-Man, Dig Dug 2, Pac-Mania) have an issue where the screen is horizontal, so I have to tilt my 3DS to get the proper image. The issue with this is that the controls are still mapped normally. Other games such as Snow Bros. run fine with the screen normally.

Settings -> Video does seem to have some "Rotation" options, but none of them seem to fix the issue.

Any ideas? I'd really love to play some of Namco's arcade games with this.

LOVELY SCREENSHOT EXAMPLE EDIT:

Spoiler: Image taken with "Normal" Rotation

Spoiler: Image with "90 degree" Rotation

(As you can see, this fixes the screen being mirrored, but I still have to flip the system over to see things properly. No other screen rotation seems to fix the issue with it being on it's side.)

Has this issue been answered? I've searched the thread and not found a solution yet. Like Cornholio309, I've played around with the rotation options and have found no way to rotate the screen so that I can hold the 3DS normally.

I'm using Luma3DS with A9HL. What CFW should I try?

EDIT: I'm dumb, sorry... when I said that I had the SCPH file in the system folder.. yeah it was only the SCPH5500.bin, for jp games from what I got. Now I got all 3 .bin files and the emulator seems to work. Sadly Tomba! 2 seems to run under 30fps even without audio/video Sync, but was pretty cool even only watching it run on n3DS

 

[HyoImowano]

Is anyone else getting a lot of crashes with PocketSNES? Is there a particular version that's best? I'm on the latest stable right now.

After more testing it seems to be primarily an issue with Earthbound.
