Homebrew RetroArch Switch

[dormeus]

Any idea why the pc-98 core outputs a shaky image? Tried playing with some setting but I don’t really know what I’m doing and nothing I tried fixed it.

It doesn’t make it unplayable but it is a bit annoying

Do 7.0.1 and 8.0 have the same burned fuse count?

Yes.

 

[Wolf85]

Sick, thanks for the help, sound it's perfect now, and tried the shader and looks decent!

Any luck on the memory cards? working with savestates at present, but could be useful to have standard memory cards showing.

Many thanks for the help!

Load the game from an .m3u file with the .ccd game files listed. that should give you memcard in slot one.

 

[EmulateLife]

Might annoy some people by asking but just wondering if Dreamcast might happen one day? The reason I ask is Sega already made an emulator that plays Naomi/Dreamcast for the switch. If it's not through Retroarch I'm hoping the emulator used to probably only play a dozen or so Dreamcast/Naomi games might get hacked to play them all. Also would love Saturn but I know that's hard to emulate.

m4xw mentioned it won't be for awhile
You still can use OC with sys-clk in 8.0.0 and 8.0.1

ok thanks, do you know if there is a list of the broken cores on 8.0.1 ?

None that I know at least in 8.0.0, 8.0.1 didn't touch any atmosphere related file AFAIK so I guess it's ok?
The only core broken is scummvm but it's unrelated to fw.

Is anyone else having issues woth the latest nightly core of PrBoom?
I am using the same setup for it that I'm using on my Wii U, and yet ALL wad files give me a black screen upon boot. I do have prboom.wad in the same folder as my wads.

Can someone check for me, please?
Test with the latest prboom nro nightly core.

is this the March 25th build ?

 

[notimp]

Build is from 20th of April, filename is:

GLN64_4.0_mupen64plus_next_libretro_libnx.7z

m4xw posted it last friday on the patreon only discord (patrons-general).

Search for GLN64_4.0_mupen64plus_next_libretro_libnx if you are in there, and you'll still find it.

Not sure when it will get merged into the normal daily builds.

Indeed it’s broken

Indeed it’s broken

Was starting to wonder why or what could be wrong with my setup.
Good to know it's not it, hopefully PrBoom can be fixed for Switch.

Would this be available outside of patreon only discord?

Thanks

 

[notimp]

You'd have to ask m4xw, but I'd assume, that it will become available eventually. (If it isn't already.)

In any case, getting into the Patreon discord only takes an account on patreon (free) and the ability to pay 1 USD via credit card or paypal (?), to m4xw - once. Afterwards you could cancel the support pledge. And if you hate paying taxes, I hear Alaska doesnt have value add tax on online purchases (This could be seen as a general tip for online software purchases, or something more nefarious, which I definitely did not mean. ).

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

As another incentive to maybe do so - Paper Mario plays pretty much perfect on that build, with only small stutter on some effects on stock CPU clock speed - which i choose to look by, because of a small benefit on battery usage.

Here is a second video of Paper Mario, also including in game fight gameplay, which I hadn't captured in the first one.

Is there a way to track per rom playtime?
If you check the favorite roms tab, there is an entry "playtime: not tracked" for each rom. How do I enable this?

All cores work in 8.x, you just can’t overclock right now. The workaround is to use sys-clk to overclock until m4 gets round to updating every single core.

Oh, very interesting.
+1 to that question.

Important PSA:

PSA: I will be doing some maintenance for a bunch of cores/RA over the weekend. In this period there might be some broken builds appearing on the bot. If you wanted to update anything Switch-RA related over the weekend, please do so within the next hours.
