Oh yeah sorry I forgot about Picodrive as well.There's picodrive
But usually GenPlus has better performance than Picodrive, doesn't it?

Hm.... A few questions if you don't mind.Please share with us, what you mean by better performance from the cores themselves?
Yeah, less options means, less chance on user errors and crashes. But games aren't running any faster in my experience.
The cores which are able to run games at full speed, still do this. The cores which aren't able to run games at full speed, still don't.
Setting up the new menu options can be troublesome, but when done right, it runs a-ok.
When using the core-specific and game-specific settings the right way, together with PC-generated playlists, you'll have a much more complete 'RetroArch' experience.
I certainly recommend using 1.4+, but that's my humble opinion.
Hm.... A few questions if you don't mind.
How do you build playlists on the computer?
How do you change settings without the program crashing?
And what do you do when you try to play a game and it says "no cores available"?
On 03ds, GenPlus runs S3&K horribly slowy. Picodrive runs significantly better but with choppy audio (better with lowered decibels).Oh yeah sorry I forgot about Picodrive as well.

Thanks, I'll try looking into that playlist creator. I've been gone all weekend, when I get home I'll check it out.To generate playlists, i've created a batch script. An early version is available HERE. I don't have the final version available atm, sorry.
You could use it, but some platforms needs to be added manually. Or create something similar yourself, more info HERE.
What settings are causing crashes?
You already found out you shouln't change the 'User 1 Device Type', which could disable the controls. If you want to reset any other settings to default just press 'start' with the setting selected.
If you get 'core not available', retroarch usually can't find the right .core files.
You either changed some 'Directory' settings, i suggest leaving these default.
Or if it's default, check if the .core file for the core you're using is available in: 'sd:/retroarch/cores/'
The .core files are there to let retroarch know which cores are available, and which .cia to launch. Of course you'll still need to install the right .cia's you want to use.
Other than that, i've never encountered this message. Nor crashes while changing settings.
just instantly freezes in what way? what was the last message in the debug log?Ive been trying to get the Neo Geo emulator to work and ive been having no luck.
ive followed everything so far; got the bios and roms. But when i try to load a game such as kof99 it just instantly freezes. i have tried both cia and .3dsx and i get the same result.
Ive got a n3ds running Luma3ds on frimware 11.4.0-37U. if anyone can help that would be amazing.
Nothing it freezes my whole 3ds in general.just instantly freezes in what way? what was the last message in the debug log?
Strange, the only cause of this would be if you're using an o3ds (which you aren't) and the core isn't supported or if you didn't copy all of the files. Did you copy the retroarch folder to the root of your SD?Nothing it freezes my whole 3ds in general.
Yes all the files are thereStrange, the only cause of this would be if you're using an o3ds (which you aren't) and the core isn't supported or if you didn't copy all of the files. Did you copy the retroarch folder to the root of your SD?
I literally just installed Retroarch to play Startropics, and I ran into the same problem. No sound and can't create a save file. Sequel does the same thing just looks a bit different. Startropics works fine on Retroarch on PC with the same NestopiaUE core. So I'm not really sure whats going on. I'm on Luma 8.1 running Sys 11.4.0-37U. Anyone have any ideas?Having troubles with Startropics on Nestopia, there's no sound and I can't really seem to make a save file after naming.
EDIT: I'm on 2.5*hax on 10.3.0U SmashHax/OoT3DHax.
I don't think they're supported on 3DS yet.How do I add shaders on retroarch since there’s no online updater? (or I haven’t seen one on Gambatte at least.) I tried cg filters and they didn’t show up.
Sorry for being super nooby lol.
So, there’s an option to use filters, but there’s no way to select them? Why would they even bother to implement the menu option then?I don't think they're supported on 3DS yet.
Never mind, I just had to spend awhile digging through this huge thread. This should still work, right?video filters can now be used.
currently, to select one, you need to go to "Settings" --> "Video" --> "Video Filter" and select a ".filt" file, those files are available in the latest nightly archive in retroarch/filters/ .
I would recommend just copying the "retroarch" folder from the archive to the root of your SD-card, and then setting the "Video Filter Dir" (in "Settings" --> "Directory") to "sdmc:/retroarch/filters", that way you can get the available filters listed directly from the "Video Filter" option.
to disable a filter, just press "start" when the "Video Filter" entry is selected. ( "start" is the default hotkey for setting back any config value to the default one).
and as @Steveice10 already pointed out, those filters are quite CPU intensive, so expect a huge performance penalty when using them, and also, don't expect much from them due to the very low resolution of the 3DS screens. (the accessible resolution at least, things would become far more interesting if the full 800x240 resolution of the top screen ever became accessible).
also, I didn't test all of them, so some might not work correctly/at all with some cores.
Yes, do you have the filters (from whatever build you're using) at /retroarch/filters/video ?Never mind, I just had to spend awhile digging through this huge thread. This should still work, right?
