RetroArch/Libretro Thread: PS Vita Edition! Nightlies Included

omg thanks bro, it all make sense now. If anyone already has keys mapped for commander keen, i would appreciate it. I am not really good at this haha, but getting there. Also dosbox save state is not working, what gives?

 

I haven't set up commander keen, the games I did set it up for I just googled for a game manual/control list and mapped them to buttons in a way that seemed workable.
Should be arrow keys to move, ctrl, alt and maybe spacebar for in-game then a few other keys to get through the menus.

 

yea i did some testing and managed to get things working thanks. Combos are mostly annoying and mapping the sticks

 

I'm trying to get the translated snes version of Dragon quest 1+2 to run. But I keep getting audio issues or slowdowns on all snes cores. Is there a reliable way to improve speed, or is there a core out there that would help?

 

there is partly translated update on reddit

 

The game has been fully translated.

But Retroarch VITA messes up the Audio. I'm trying to find a good way to run it on my vita without slowdown/audiostutter.

 

As far as slowdown goes until other fixes happen with the ps vita version of retroarch the only thing you can do is overclock your ps vita using LOLIcon which will in turn overclock retroarch. That or use the standalone ps vita emulator CATSFC.

 

I've never heard of catsfc, i'll google it and see if i can find more info on it.

Is the ps vita version of retroarch still being worked on?

 

The last update for the ps vita version of retroarch that made a big difference was gpu overclocking which helps overall with performance which was added march 8th 2018. As far as i know there has not really been anything since then that had made a difference for the ps vita retroarch releases.

 

It feels like all the devs have pretty much left the vita homewbrew scene in favor for the switch. Quite sad actually. Since I love the portability of this thing.

 

no i mean there is a patch to translate the game installed from pkgj, for vita, not for emulator

 

I tried googling it, and couldn't find anything. I'm referring to Dragon Quest 1 and 2. The snes remakes of the 2 Nes games.

 

i pasted url , but they removed it, ill send you pm

 

can u also pm me the link?

 

its not the same game sadly

 

As a user, form factor matters, I think. Having a real D-pad, and actually being portable are two major advantages over the Switch (in addition to advantages in jailbreakability). Otherwise you could just run an emulator on your PC for way better performance. There are big drawbacks with game focused android portables, and the Pandora et. al. are very expensive. I wonder what other options you had in mind.

SNES9x-2005 does have a few flaws (could actually adopt a few game specific improvements without performance impact as well). I think part of the fun is getting things to run on limited power devices. I think a few of the yellow cores in the OP could well turn blue with enough effort, too.

 

Switch is more a transportable console than a portable. I won't use my switch while on a bus or a plane. Maybe the nvidia shield console would be an improvement in retrogaming performance, but isn't cost effective, and battery would be a problem too.

On the retroarch development, I'm seeing some move for the classic platforms recently (snes and nes classic). Since vita is using an arm cpu cortex-A9 and classic platforms cortex-A7, we may get some performance improvement, or get more core thanks to them.

 

Hello, all of you mates. I'm using play list buddy, and I'm seeing that the options have disappeared in Arcade mode, download mame dats and download Fb alpha dats, and I do not know how to enter the dats of mame 2000, mame 2003, fb alpha ,,. Somebody knows of some tutorial of how to do it with mame and fb alpha with play lidt buddy to introduce the dats. Thank you very much for your help.

 

Any chance of running Amstrad CPC core?
