What exactly are these files and why is everyone so excited about them?Fx32000 thank you, thank you, and many thanks mate and my great friend.I'm happy ,,, very good friend.
Hi
There are two new cores added: fmsx and Vice 64.
Can you try them?
Cheers

Mr.frangarcj could you take a look at a serious bug on Vita 1.7.0:
https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/6127
Basicly all inputs are taking a while to work after loading a rom.
This happens on multiple cores.
There is also bugs related to network like core updates and achievments not working on 1.7.0.

Get the Updated VPK and Data from the Build Site from PC. Do not think the Online Updater works on the Vita all that well.
do i just reinstall over the original retroarch?

Merry Christmas in January!
Finally, got around to adequately updating the front page to reflect the newest stable build. I'm giving the nightly a try now so bear with me.

Hope the week-long delay is enough! Only two test games (And kinda obvious what they are, same series), and they work fine after pasting BIOS files.
Never worked to begin with.
It would help to specify the cores and games tested that exhibit these problems.
I can't speak for everyone, but my installation with the same configuration I've been using for a while has been lag-free (Tested with SNES9x '10, fMSX, FBA).
Once again, core updater doesn't even exist, let alone work (Since the packages are all baked into the installation). Can't speak for Cheevos, but I'll check in with it when I have internet access later today.
You're welcome!
Sorry to disappoint, but not very many people have two Vitas on 3.6 to test Netplay for me.
And I've tried linking up a RaspPi and Vita together, no dice. General information on netplay provided by Libretro sadly kinda goes in both ways.
May as well take down two birds with one pebble; Yes, this CAN help for cores that have the ability to use hardware rendering (I.E. PCSX-R). HOWEVER, this requires Libretro to add support for VitaGL, AND the requisite core to be updated to take advantage of this.
It's all based essentially off the time to implement such niceties; it can (and probably will?) happen, but needs time. But again, I'm not a Libretro spokesperson here so I don't feel I'm qualified to make such predictions.
As for every other core, well... for the most part, these are all software rendered anyways. You may see the slightest speed boost, but don't expect miracles. This is just how RA cores are developed to begin with as they more or less try to capture CPU-bound accuracy; you'll see better results if said cores are forked into separate Vita-specific projects to take advantage of specialized hardware rendering (I.E. those 3DS SNES emulators outside of RA, same kind of principle).

Awesome, thanks! Has anybody tried the new Vice-64 core?
Is there a usable on-screen keyboard? This might allow multiplayer c64 on PSTV, but I have no time to test it atm.
I tried a few games and they worked. There's still a minimal slowdown (sound skipping) in Master of The Lamps, but much less than on PSP.
Some problems with the core that I found. These are probably not Vita specific:
- On-Screen keyboard cannot be controlled with gamepad
- Two player on VitaTV does not work
- I cannot change disks (for games that require "insert disk two") without restarting the emulated C64
- FastSid engine sound (6581f) sounds a bit wrong. Resid engine sound (6581r) is extremely slow compared to Fastsid. Other ports of Vice (PSP, Windows etc) do not have this enormous slowdown when using the resid engine.
Current Vita nigthlies from 02-09 until 02-10 are broken. The vpk filesize is only 215 kB:
https://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/playstation/vita/
The last nightly that has all the cores is the one from 2018-02-06 (106 MB):
https://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/playstation/vita/2018-02-06_RetroArch.vpk
The ones from 02-07 and 02-08 are working, but they are missing a whole bunch of cores (67 MB filesize only),
from then on they are just completely broken..
EDIT: The 2018-02-06 is already gone from the buildbot site. So I uploaded it here to make it available for now until this problem with missing cores is fixed:

@frangarcj. Thanks for adding two cores, especially Vice!
I did some more digging on what I said before about the Vice core:
- In the version from 2018-02-06, the on-screen keyboard and onscreen menu control are already fixed. There's now a mouse pointer which can be controlled with gamepad.
- The slow resid engine is a "feature" of vice 3.0 so it happens even on PC, e.g. not a bug.
- The disk change problem was not limited to Vice, but was broken in all cores. It is being worked on now by fr500.
- Two-player support on PSTV seems to still be missing in the Vice core. Using the Nuklear GUI I can enable only Joy1 pr Joy2, not both at the same time.

I am not involved with the development I was just posting my findings as a user of Retroarch. I know @frangarcj has done an immense amount of work on Retroarch Vita...
