I updated Retroarch today and before that I only had one NES core (Nestopia) and switching between games just loaded them without getting an option to chose core... Now however I get the option, and even if I chose the core that is already loaded the core gets reloaded.

Is there an option for this that I'm missing? I tested some things like removing the other NES cores and the RetroArch forwarder but even if I start Nestopia from the home menu and then chose a game it has to reload the core.

Is PCSX Rearmed broken on 1.7.5? Mine just doesn't work, everytime I try to boot up Megaman X4 it kicks me back to Home Menu or crash my console.

Didn't tested other cores, but everytime that happens my retroarch.cfg also breaks everything, preventing me from using it with some sort of audio profile issue.

You installed all of the core .cias right?

And the entire Retroarch folder is there on the root of the SD? You'll get an error if it isn't.

so I'm guessing this hasn't improved at all in the last few months?
It has. There have been some regressions but they've done numerous fixes and added a lot of features, e.g. turning off the bottom screen entirely. Many of the emulators have gotten fixes too. Hopefully we can get some major advancements soon, e.g. fixing unai on the 3DS to get better performance over PEOPS for pcsx-rearmed.

How does GPSP run now?

You install the retroarch cia and it installs them from the cores folder automatically as you use them or you can install them manually from there

@FateForWindows they arent though they are all just games and diagnostic checks.
If you can get them on your end Id pay you to make me a link

@nightbreed813 I dont have the cores thats what Im looking for the cores
In the .zip file, there is a folder called "retroarch". It is ABSOLUTELY MANDATORY that you copy the ENTIRE folder to the root of the SD. Inside the folder is another folder titled "cores". This contains the CIA files for all of the cores. If Retroarch doesn't install them automatically, install them yourself. If you aren't seeing all of the cores download the latest release version or the latest nightlies as, from testing them, I can confirm that Retroarch does indeed contain all of the cores needed.

You copied the retroarch folder to the root of your SD, right? Also, try not to use 1.7.5. Use a newer nightly since 1.7.5 has issues on the 3DS.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
