Homebrew Question Retroarch on 7.0

[dizzysyn]

Does retroarch work on atmosphere 0.8? mine crashes constantly and im looking for a fix. (Running Mupen)

 

[8BitWonder]

Yes it works on 7.0.X.

From what I recall the optimal way of running Mupen is by loading the latest hbmenu over a title of your choosing so it has full RAM access.

 

[dizzysyn]

i just tested gba and it worked instantly but mupen always results in a crash

 

[8BitWonder]

Is it an older build of Mupen, or one of the more recent nightlies?

 

[Csmrcc]

Mine works fine on 7.01, the first time that I launched it I got an orange screen, but I think it was because of running some previous Homebrew game. Since then no problem, playing Mario 64 with an old building.
Launched via hbmenu.nsp.

How are you launching RetroArch? It sounds like you're going into the album and launching it from there. That doesn't work. You have to do what 8bitWonder said and launch via title replacement. See "Running RetroArch using title takeover" here:

Just set that up right now waiting for the nightly files to replace the old one. but since we're on this topic do i download the retroarch nsp? so its on the home menu. and when i change the title id you can just type out "app" right?

When doing title-replacement you use one of your already installed games to load into the hbmenu, and then load the nro.
You don't need the individual retroarch NSP.

When changing the title_id you want it to be the 16-char titleID of the title you're loading the hbmenu over.

Using the RetroArch NSP is not recommended. And yeah, you can use "app" for the title id. That way you can hold R on any of your installed titles to launch the HBMenu.

while still on the topic if you used mupen what're the best settings?

Adding to this with a separate question cause I don't feel like bugging people with a new thread.
Can NSP's be installed on 7.0.+ with goldleaf yet?

Edit your loader.ini to override a game. Running hbmenu with the album limits your available RAM. Mupen64 needs more RAM.

I had read that with the last version yes you can, also you can on txos, but this is other thread
