Hacking Emulation RetroArch/Libretro Thread: PS Vita Edition! Nightlies Included

Do I need pstv for this http://wololo.net/2016/08/09/manually-update-ps-vita-firmware-3-60/ guide?

...Did you even read the post?
No, you don't need a PSTV.
Yes, you NEED 3.60 exactly; not 3.52, not 3.61 (Definitely not, please don't), ONLY 3.60.

For emulation is better to stay on epsp or to update to 3.60 and use this?

Or maybe wait a bit more for dynarec?

Anything you can do on PSP that RA supports, the Vita natively will do better, and more.
Of course, Dynarec will only be implemented for the emulator cores that have this functionality to begin with; Dynarec won't magically solve EVERY emulator, but at least most of them.
Expect slight optimizations in the future, aside from Dynarec implementation.

EQUOTE="dante-feline, post: 6659579, member: 368662"]You can continue using emulation on epsp via VHBL on 3.60. Hell, you can continue using VHBL on 3.61 (but don't do that.)[/QUOTE]
I know but i read somewhere that performance on vhbl are worse then on tn-V.
Plus i use it offline, and epsp with 100% boot ratio is usefull, contrary to the luck of the email offline launcher of henkaku

.cut.

I just hope for a good n64 and snes emulation, that on psp is a bit laggy

Did you even read the tutorial it says manually update psvita firmware to 3.60. I was asking that in the tutorial it says something about pstv. My question was do I need pstv for it!

I didn't understand the second line! That's why I was asking if someone know something about it. Do I need a pstv for it or not!?

when will dynarec be implemented on vita?

haha yea i figured as much

 

[Blue24]

Is it just me, nxengine doesnt support savestate?

 

[SeongGino]

Just wait on @LibretroRetroArc to confirm, but I'm sure it's a similar answer.

 

[demounit]

yea i'm not like asking to hurry or anything i was just curious. i don't even know what dynarec is

Dynarec = Dynamic Recompiler. Basically an optimization technique for emulation of instruction sets, helps with low powered/multi-core processors to allow more emulated cycles per real cycle (That's the basic rundown anyhow).

 

[elmedir]

What kind of performance increases can we expect from dynarec? Any examples? Just curious if this is a "game changer" or more of a slight upgrade.

i'm just hoping it lets the gba emulators play golden sun at full speed <3

A problem occured: i tried FBA -> fbalpha_libretro.vpk - FB Alpha v0.2.97.38, Arcade Machine Emulator (Various)
and can't use it or load sfiii.zip
I tried online updater for core, but do nothing and then menu glitch and i can't select any options...
And even snes9x 2005 don't start

 

[VitaType]

There is now a 81_libretro.vpk in the latest nightly. Seems to be a ZX81 and similar hardware emulator.

That's been there for a while.
I was more interested in FUSE (ZX Spectrum) emulator than anything else though out of the new additions.

 

[laharl22]

I have a bug with retroarch and my vita with thé latest nightly its buggy or give me error cores pn 5 testef and my games folder gba and SNES are hidden i cant sée on gpsp snes9x or mgba what is the problem?

But it isn't in the "Current Available cores (package name/emulator name/emulated console):" list.

Try mGBA (the nightlies, not the main release). From what I played it runs full speed.

Hi, can you please give the link of mGBA nightlies? Thank you.

Is there any chance of port mupen64 core on vita? :o
