Homebrew [RetroArch] Nightly builds here!

[aliaspider]

cd audio isn't hooked correctly yet, will be fixed at some point. thankfully most psx games don't use it.

Somebody try CTR in the PSX emulator for me.

I'm on 9.9, but I'd like to know just how envious I need to be. Anything over 50 frames and I'll cry in a corner.

Is it possible to make a .3dsx of the emulator even though it wouldn't be able to use dynarec? I'm still not exactly sure what dynarec means other than "more speed".

Dont worry. I think 90 % of us here dont know what dynarec really means. Most of us is happy with dynarec=more speed =)

Guys this is witchcraft.
Insane black magic.

Bravo!!!

 

[aliaspider]

the 3dsx version just hangs even without the dynarec code, and I have no idea why, that is why it isn't shipped currently.
the .elf file is there so you can make a 3dsx version out of it if you want to try yourself.

it is 4 to 5 times slower without a dynarec. I get 5fps on o3DS when it is set to off.

Well considering the n3DS is 3x faster then the o3DS. We'd get about 15fps.

Where do we place the psx bios file on the sd card?

Dude seriously, put those in a spoiler.

It's short for "dynamic recompiler". To put it simply, it basically means the emulator analyses the code that the game is running, and converts it on the fly to code that the computer (in this case, your 3DS/N3DS) can understand better, and makes a cache of this new code (a fast way of retrieving information). This lets it run games much faster than an interpreter, which has to go "okay, the game wants to execute this code, now what did it do again..? *looks it up in a list relatively slowly, one by one* ..Oh, right, this. *Does it*". Dynarecs are much faster, because if a game reuses the same code over and over, the emulator doesn't have to bother figuring out what the game wants, it just directly does it.

I'm gonna need a bigger SD card....

 

[Stack3r]

Please some fix the .3dsx version D:

question: if I buy a brand new SD card, 64 gb for example: If i copy/paste everything in the brand new 64gb SD, everything will be set up exactly the same on the device?Saves, ect ect.

If you're using an emunand you'll want to inject your emunand into the new SD card, but otherwise, moving to a new card shouldn't affect anything, in regards to Retroarch.

 

[Fatalanus]

Inject Emunand? So I guess a simple copy/paste will not do the trick for an emunand.

Thank you, lemanuel and daxtsu!

Place your BIOS FILE in MSD or SD/Retroarch/Cores/System
Only tested Hydro Thunder and Cap VS Snk, but was getting fluctuations around 20FPS-50FPS. Hydro Thunder kept dropping down around 9-17FPS

If PS1 is possible, I'm scared of people requesting PS2 emulators to be ported soon.

Where's my PS4 emulator?
