They fixed the audio in the Neo Geo core for the 2-28 nightly (yes, I actually installed the CIA this time), and with the .fs files not appearing at the SD root anymore, I'm close to replacing 1.4.1. Metal Slug 3 still needs a playlist in order to run it, but if the new programming means that directly picking the .zip is no longer possible, I might have to live with it.

I'm so sorry if this has already been answered, but I can't for the life of me get the aio cia working. (I am on the 8/03/15 nightly) I put the retroarch folder in the root directory (just the one in the 7z) and black screen. If I pressed B, it would reboot my system. Then I tried putting the 7z's root in the directory (folder structure: sd://retroarch/retroarch and sd://retroarch/cias) it would give me another black screen, however pressing B did not reboot it. When I put the SD card back in my pc, I noticed it made a "retroarch.cfg" file. I tried changing the only entry to libretro_path = "retroarch/retroarch" and now I get an instant system crash when I try to launch the CIA. Then I tried changing it to libretro_path = "sd://retroarch/retroarch", and no change. I did some research, and found that that flag is used to have it automatically launch a core, but I don't know which core to launch. So yeah, I'm stumped, and feel silly.

Does anyone know if the latest PCSX can finally play Final Fantasy VII (without sound, and all the tweaks) at near full speed?

Anyone able to start any rom with Gambatte or Nestopia via 3DSX from Rosalina?
All Version from 1.6.7 to Nighlies are crashing with "Press Start" for me.

In regards to Retroarchs Libretro PicoDrive (and bubble2k’s Picodrive);

For anyone who has tried (both) versions, what are your experiences (with each)?

Does anyone prefer libretro? Any performance differences worth mentioning?

The latter will perform better because moves the sound processing to a separate core, but the difference may not be noticeable on a New 3DS.

On New3DS Bubble's move makes the difference for 3D/scaling effects on CD/32X. Batman driving runs at fullspeed on Bubble but chugs on retroarch, while Afterburner II is passable on Bubble and a slideshow on retro.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
