Homebrew RetroArch Switch

[Clydefrosch]

had this a couple times a while back.
fixed it by deleting everything related to retroarch and copying it all back from the original nightly zip.
not sure why it happens

after comparing my retroarch folder with a fresh downloaded one, i finally managed to fix it by removing the .cfg file in the 'autoconfig' folder.

but when i began to reconfigure my stuff again, i ran into a new issue. before, i set right stick click as the menu toggle button and i could click it to enter the menu and click it again to go back to gameplay.
but for some reason, going back just didn't work anymore, so that i had to navigate back all the way to quick menu and resume every time... so i reverted back to the backed up config and left it be..

Why would you want a RetroArch Video player?
I guess.. why not?
Just drop this file to "/retroarch/cores" and make sure you updated your core Info and restarted RA!https://t.co/RxoXHznCaG

Perhaps may fix PCSX-rearm core FMV stuttering issue as well.

not sure if this is only on switch version, but i can't seem to set a static wallpaper background in my retroarch build, tried with 1280x720 png images but xmb menu won't show my wallpaper file in menu, anyone else having this issue?

Is this hardware decoding? We already have pPlay but the software decoding drains battery quite bad.

i managed to do it by manually editing retroarch.cfg and pointing my png in menu_wallpaper entry.

sorry but not on my end if you want i can make a video demonstrating. sad to say that is a bios/shader/retro or core version/cfw (are you on atmos or sxos?)/core settings so many things could be causing that but no stutter here. plays perfect video actually. Unless this is something later in game. I am assuming this is present in intro video for you yes?

Why dont you try it and compare it.
It should perform better due to the SIMD/NEON optimizations, until pplay adapts these changes.
But the RA player is really barebones, no fancy shit.

I'm still having lags during crisis core FMV was the latest patron update supposed to eliminate that it am I misunderstanding?

 

[notimp]

You are not reading. I've already posted a video of what the FF7 CC intro FMV looks like on current releases. Would you mind specifying what "lag" means to you in comparison to that?

Also videos dont lag. In general.

m4xw moves one step closer to making RA an entire OS.

Cut to 6 months later:
"Okay guys, here's some video editing software and anti-virus to protect any files downloaded through the also included browser. If there's any issues, write them up in detail on the Word processor I included last week"

It almost seems as Nintendo did the new sorting options in 8.0.0 for people like you.

Amazing. Before pPlay was released, that core was my biggest hope for a video player on the Switch.
Coming to think of it, it should support playlists + thumbnails (obviously selfmade) to allow a nice movie library while pPlay does not (for now at least).
