Homebrew Retroarch Emulation Thread (Nightly Builds Included)

[DominoBright]

*sigh* Nevermind what I said in the previous edits. Moral of the story: make sure you actually install CIAs.

Have Wonderswan and NGPC emulators reached full speed on O3DS or any improvements, or does development mostly focus on N3DS now?

 

[Savior-X]

Its posible work on O3DS this?

• *fb alpha cps1 (Capcom Playsystem 1 emulator)-

• *fb alpha cps2 (Capcom Playsystem 2 emulator)-

Give up on retroarch running properly on o3ds. Not gonna happen. Those emulators will get you around 20fps. For consoles, use bubble2k16's nes/pce/gen/snes emulators and mame2000 on retroarch for those old games like digdug.

what about GBA? (and no VC inject is not an option here)

If you have twloader it has GBARunner2 built in, all you have to do is have a folder at the root of your sd called gba and place all your games inside that folder with your gba bios renamed to bios.bin. some games have to be patched to allow saving, but it works good on my o3ds

GBARunner in TWLoader doesn't work for me (white screens).
GBARunner in DSONE works, but the Pokemon Hacks I want to play don't work(freeze in opening movie or title screen).
mGBA works but too slow on O3DS.

have you tried it lately? there was a release of TWLoader like 5 days ago, also, did you install all of the cia files stored in SD:/_nds/twloader/cias?

Tested 3 days ago. and cia files are installed with FBI install all option before testing.

what did you mean by you get a white screen? in a ds game? if so you need to set mario kart ds as the donor rom, as for gbarunner you have to press start in twloader and select rom type and go to "Gameboy Advance Start GBARunner2"

already set MKDS as donor ROM and Pokemon Platinum is working fine.
I don't insert any cartridge and I press Start button in cartridge slot -> Select ROM Type -> GBA, then white screens.

It might be broken in the latest version, i just tried on mine and it booted my r4i, I'll have to ask Robz8

Hi guys, I'm (still) having problems with the GBA emulator ( "this core requires a content file" ), and the interface still freezes when navigating. (I'm on new 3ds, tested the official and nightly builds).

That's strange, since the nightlies (not release) fixed the freezing. Also, for gpsp, did you remember the GBA BIOS file?

I'm searching for older versions, but I can't find anywhere.. I'll wait a little more

 

[guicrith]

They are just as visible as the new versions.
Go to https://buildbot.libretro.com/stable/
Pick a version number.
Go to /nintendo/3ds/
Done.

There aren't versions below 1.6.7 :-/

EDIT: I've tried the latest nightly build. Now the interface works fine . Sadly, the GBA emulator (still) doesn't work (even so, thank you. That's progress ♡♡)

Older versions were removed in a buildbot purge.

 

[nightbreed813]

Latest nightlys cia folder only has retroarch.cia and freeintv from the 8th overwrites the retroarch.cia when installed.

 

[Muxi]

version 1.7.1 has been released, but not for nintendo at this time

 

[DominoBright]

It's available on the 3DS now.

The standalone Neo Geo core still sounds bad, but I tried the big FB Alpha cia and Neo Geo games sound fine on that. Huh.
