Homebrew Retroarch Emulation Thread (Nightly Builds Included)

[sj33]

Hi guys,
What is the best NES Emulator to use? I have N3DS 10.7 A9LH Aureinand.
I want one able to do native resolution of the games, I hate that the VC NES are stretched and blurry.

FCEUmm should be the way to go. It's the most accurate of the 3 NES emulators and will be pixel perfect if you change the aspect ratio to 1:1 PAR and enable Integer Scaling.

O3DS users should use QuickNES.

Anyone got Legacy of Goku working with gpsp???
It always crashes when booting it, the log says: "cannot push NULL or empty core info into the Playlist. bad jump 15009c18 (3003c98) (0)"

I tried two roms, both work on PC RetroArch. Game_Config.txt is in the same directory.

I am using a N3DS on 10.7 emuNAND.

Perhaps someone could help me??
Thanks!

Not sure if anything has changed in Picodrive recently, but Doom on 32X now runs at 60fps on N3DS with Picodrive! I swear it didn't used to!

Here's a video!

The colour mode has been fixed in that? I didn't realise.

You mean where it had a "huge" screen and the colours were all wrong? That was fixed like 5 months ago.

So.
Picodrive cia accept filters, but not Genesis+dx.cia.
It's strange, because when you activate a precise filter, tearing appears on Ecco, exactly like in Genesis+dx. And no tearing issue without filter.
Also, the sound of picodrive is really strange. SOund of Genesis+dx is way better, imo.
What are the audio settings you use for this core?

Also, Sonic3 and Knuckles does not works on Picodrive.

 

[sj33]

Sonic 3 & Knuckles works fine. Check your rom.

 

[Fatalanus]

This rom works with Genesis+dx, so I'll probably try another one. Thanks for your feedback!

Is DOS working on o3DS yet?

The latest nightly builds (at least the .cia builds of them) are completely unusable.

May I ask... How so?
(I only just now am getting the chance to install CIAs so I'm curious if these even work to begin with)

They install but when you but them they print one line of text on the bottom screen and then after six seconds they crash and the system reboots.

The latest stable builds are what you want.

Just about as soon as you posted that (Or possibly before) I got the exact same result. Searched for the Retroarch directory (Which was there since my 3DSX builds) and then crashed/rebooted back to home.
Makes... sense, I guess.

Like I said, use the stable builds.

I thought that was NEStopia.

 

[sj33]

Now I've been informed that Nestopia was fixed ages ago, definately use Nestopia.

Stable Builds for now, please.

Any real advantages to Nestopia over FCEUmm?

Ok will do.

Regarding the GBA, is mGBA or gpsp the best?. Also has anyway made a filter for the Gameboy or GBA so it mimics the looks of these screen, i know shaders are out of the question but wondered if there were any filters that gave similar results?
