i launch ppayload from tegra and, select cfw, then album, it launcher hbmenu and load reatroarch. yep 32kb clusters Full format, not quick...

These are not reproduction steps.
Ranging from downloading your files, extracting. Getting the thumbnails.
Step. by. Step.

Is it possible to load roms from ftp or smb?

ok.
I use Retroarch Windows version to make playlist because its far faster, and use it too to download thumbnails.
download a full snes romset from mega.
uncompress snes romset with winrar to sd.
copy thumbnails from retroarch windows to retroarch switch in sd.
copy playlist from retroarch windows to retroarch switch.

and thats all i made and random black thumbnails and freezes.

without thumbnails it works great.

Actually there's one big reason why not to support them, SXOS is closed source. If an issue exist it's made a lot harder to figure out of the issue is caused by RetroArch or by SXOS. The SX team is constantly pushing out broken updates and only making it harder to keep up with by having their source closed off. Why support them when they make it harder to support them? It's far easier and far more beneficial just focus on open source teams over them.

So is it mandatory to be open source to get support?
I've heard a lot of people say that they stole most of the code from atmosphere (which is open source) so it shouldn't be much difference between both os, should it?
But hey, I will not be offtopic this thread anymore thanks for replying and for developing retroarch.

And yet they fuck that up. Says enough, doesn't it?

Just a tip: for those who complained because of all the questions. The OP should simply update the FAQs. I mean the most important steps are not mentioned at all as for example the storage location of the Bios files and other simple questions.

I would write a tutorial myself but I haven't managed to start any game yet without RetroArch crashing. But I can write some faqs tonight which the OP can add to his first post, if he want to.

Not for me, sxos works great for me as hekate or reinx do, but (as i said before) i use sxos because of emunand.

I mean, it helps a lot. Spending hours trying to figure an issue out only for it either to not work or be broken again later isn't really that "fun" (not fun in the sense that it's not rewarding.) Equally it only adds that layer of lack of control, if it's something he can't fix due to SXOS, then it falls on them to fix it. Basically it's only logical to not want to deal with something that can easily turn out to be a waste of time and energy. That time/energy can be spent focusing on projects that can fixed by the dev without hassle due to access to the source code.
Also reports show that they've taken untested/nightly code, which is just more issues the consider.

Thats great for you, but we will still not provide support for them and accept no Issue reports if its SX.

 

[Bumblecito]

Maybe i asked my question improperly, sorry for that.
I just wanted to know why you guys don't support sxos but I think I was rude suppossing things that I shouldn't. My apology.

well i for one use retroarch with sxos 2.0 (and i am sure 2.1 will work too) but I don't use thumbnails. I mean correct me if I am wrong but wouldn't that just be more data in ram?

Are we talking about practice?

I mean if you ABSOLUTELY must have thumbnails I guess it's a downer but i uh just trying to actually um play video games...

you know actually play them...

Are we talking about practice?

Now one of the really cool things about sxos is you can totally have atmosphere and reinx and sxos all happily coexisting on the same sd making your switch essentially a triple boot device. But I notice little difference from sxos os to reinx to atmosphere currently

At one time the nsp would not launch so I had to use reinx (just my preference) but that was sorted in 2.0

I get the feeling that we are dealing with modders trying to sell modded systems and who aren't interested in actually playing the games which does sadden me. They basically want to make the fanciest looking setup.

Ironically my setup is pretty frigging mean but i'm not dead and i'm not for sale

oh and bumblecito watch your mouth if it were up to me i'd have you take a long walk off a short plank don't address dev as such if you don't understand you don't understand but your tone gotta go

i dont know what is the reason
when i add a large number of thumbnails it starts to throttle when i switch in xmb from playlists, and if i erase the thumbnails it works swiftness

Maybe try another source for the thumbnails?

Are you launching retroarch from homebrew launcher o nsp?

 

[ShadowOne333]

Are you launching retroarch from homebrew launcher o nsp?

Are you sure the thumbnails have the correct path to them?

 

[ciskohansen]

with thumbnails and dynamic backgrounds runs fine


I have made a video

without backgrounds runs better , but I have not any problem in this moment with the boxes

Oh I didn't even know backgrounds were a thing already xD
It's nice, though I think I'll still keep just the boxarts for my thumbnails

 

[grabman]

very nice

 

[Danikaos]

i use the retroarch ones.

Are you launching retroarch from homebrew launcher o nsp?

tried both and same results

Are you sure the thumbnails have the correct path to them?

yes the path is correct, i see the thumbnails but when i do a fast scroll between games and playlist thumbnails go black and then it freezes.

in this video not freezes but sometime it freezes XD
