Homebrew Retroarch Emulation Thread (Nightly Builds Included)

The only SFX game I've tried that doesn't run well is Stunt Race FX - but that's due to some graphical glitching that might end up being fixable. It's pretty remarkable!

I recently noticed that the Atari 7800 and 2600 systems have pretty solid libretro ports of ProSystem and Stella respectively. Does anyone know if these cores could be added to the 3DS branch? Is the 3DS hardware fast enough to run these? I don't know how intensive these are, but they run great on a Raspberry Pi 2. I haven't tried them on the older Pi 1B+ yet.

There's a DS port of Stella, and a DS2 7800 emulator, so I'd say probably

Anyone know why it takes ten seconds to load and save in Genesis Plus GX? It's the CIA version if that helps.

Other .CIA versions of the emulators such as pcsx and snes9x 02 also have this,
though to different extends pcsx loads/saves slower while snes9x 02 loads/saves faster.

A difference in sizes changes the time that is for sure, but as to why the loading/saving times changed a while back i would assume that it is for accuracy.
But to be sure about that, you would need to ask the one that made the changes in the code.

You forget about Winter Gold. It is very slow and not very playable :/

 

[SLiV3R]

possible, yes, but I can't implement it unless someone tells me how to disable the parallax layer on a n3DS.

Did this 800x240 resolution ever got fixed? It would be cool to get the extra pixels

Simple, never enable the parallax barrier. No idea how to use the full resolution though.

Gambatte save state loading is still instable - crashes very often

 

[Bearpowers]

I feel a bit confused, do you still launch the .cia emulators from homebrew launcher and not from the home menu?

 

[gudenau]

PepsiMan works, it is atad slow though.

 

[SLiV3R]

Can anyone upload one or a couple of pictures when for example some nes or snes games use 800x240?

Thank you!

Umm......ooh.........I'm not sure about what I'm doing. I'm trying to use CIA format (yes, my 3DS is prepped for that), but WHOA.......that's a lot of CIAs. Do I just put the specific CIAs I want (i.e. Quicknes) and the Retroarch folder into my SD and call it a day? 'Cuz I tried that, and Final Fantasy 3 (NES) doesn't work.

How to fix the undefined reference errors when building it for CTR?

 

[SLiV3R]

How do I get fullspeed on Starfox 1 on my N3DS with PocketSnes? It will only play at 40 fps. Anyone?

Is there a way to remove the log at the bottom of the screen when playing? It gets kinda distracting

What is the chance that pcsx will get "somewhat" working sound with a decent framerate?

 

[Fatalanus]

0,2%. If it's a sunny day.

Can someone help me with Retroarch CIA? I've installed gpSP, retroarch, snes. But gpSP crashes every time when I start ROM (mGBA works fine) and about snes, which core to use?

update: answer for gpSP is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/3dshacks/comments/3mnprd/retroarch_gpsp_core_error/
