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

[SeongGino]

They are, and I batch installed the 2016-09-08 nightlies. Worked well.

I guess NOW they are.

...Yay?

Are you able to save games yet?

 

[metroid maniac]

Who exactly is working on these emulator cores anyway?
Is anyone trying to optimise those emulators which fail to run full speed on Vita?

VGBA core saving works. (build 9.9.2016).

Could be wrong on this but i think the main emulators that get worked on are the pc and android versions of retroarch.

Yep! Main development goes towards desktop (Windows/OSX/GNU) for the most part, with Android on the side.
The other ports we see (Vita, Wii, 3DS, etc...) are handled by other independent programmers; it just so happens the Vita right now is getting the most endorsement of the "dirty" ports.

...Also because the developer who works on 3DS RA lost/damaged his system, so he's been unable to develop/test builds for a while until his new system is delivered.

Tested on FBA2012. Playable. 35-45fps.

Can you tell me the files inside the rom zip? Because i've tried many sfiii.zip (one that have chd inside, another one that have small numbered files) but when i load zip, retroarch return to menu instead to launch game.

P.S: TGB Dual -> double screen doesn't work. I enable link support, both player on same screen, ask me to restart game -> i restar but game load normally as one player. Unless i missed something, dont know...

If you search in the usual, obvious, places you'll find sources with the complete FBA rom set as a single download. Those are the ones that will work. Many of the places where you obtain individual games don't supply FBA compatible files.

idk what you mean, or what i need to search. I think a full set of rom would be an immense download... maybe you not broke forum rules if you send me your sfiii.zip in pm

Can someone tell me how they transfer roms because I am on Henkaku and having a bit of a hard time. The way I have been transferring them is renaming them to mp4, using qcma to send them over, then renaming them back to what they were and moving them to my roms folder with vitashell. I am hoping that there is a much quicker way than doing this one by one.

open vitashell and press select. Download an FTP program for your computer and connect to the vita's ip address.
Very fast and Easy once set up properly.

[irishgangsta54]

[Joe007]

Dude, of couse they are. Its a very rude question.

 

[Simando]

Still enjoying these. Particularly SNES / Mega Drive and some MAME Roms. Really hoping for Dos box to work at some point but I have no idea where to even start working on it, so I'll just wait.

 

[frangarcj]

@Simando try today's nightly and let us know if dosbox works ok

 

[Lord M]

report: VBA next cheats dont work.

I'm trying to figure out the issue I'm having with the controls freezing up sometimes when I start RetroArch. It seems to clear up when I start a different program, at least temporarily. Not sure why, but hey, any port in a storm!
