Hi

I want to address the pstv problems. Can someone install this vpk and tell me if loading a game fails? It it fails share the coredump created in ux0:/data

https://www.dropbox.com/s/j5l3ric34kyvgc0/handy_libretro.vpk?dl=0 <---- Handy libretro (Atari lynx)

Thanks
I run the emulator on psv and pstv, the difference is:
1.No "Load core" on PSTV
2.No crash when enter "Load Content" in PSTV, which is common in offical release, but no rom can be found.

Screenshot on PSTV:
No "Load Core"

Roms can not be found

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Am I sure I was playing it on my TV rather than a small portable? Yep, pretty damn sure :)

Why do you ask?
Because I can't load rom on pstv, but it does on PSV.:wacko:
Look at my post below.

Can you try latest nightly?
I just downloaded 0427 nightly build and tested handy_libretro, still no "Load Core", no crash and no rom can be found.(I have never run the emulator before, so I don't known if it crash before when enter "Load Content")
I also tested fceumm_libretro(0427), still crash when enter "Load Content"

coredump file for fceumm_libretro(maybe useless, because it is not a debug build)

PSTV support and sound may be already fixed in nightly from 28. Just test and tell me. Thanks
I have same problem with 0428 nightly: no rom in handy_libretro and crash in fceumm_librerto.
But I try to build 0428 source by myself, handy_libretro and fceumm_librerto works fine.
The command I used to compile is Make -f Makefile.vita, not make -f Makefile.vita.salamander,make -f Makefile.griffin platform=vita(the build by this way will crash when enter "Load Content" as offical download), I don't know the difference between them.
Because I connect PSTV to PC monitor, there is no sound test yet, I will test it when go back to home.

I'll give it a test after work and update. Thanks for all your work frangarcj :)

EDIT:
The latest nightly is only about 40MB, previous builds are about 250MB. There is no eboot.bin in the handy_libretro.vpk and vitashell gives error 0x80af5022 when trying to install it. I'm guessing some kind of problem with the build server.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.
