Homebrew RetroArch Switch

[snoofly]

I have the same issue, the game always ran badly, but it's a nightmare on switch for me. Also my camera just looks to the floor when I move forward.

i think you need to change to analog to digital control setting to off or something to fix that

Can somebody confirm that Medievil Resurrection runs fine now on psp core?

I haven't played it for some time, updated Retroarch with online updater, and now Medievil doesn't start at all, there's only a black screen. But I can open RA overlay and change settings of the game, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. Other games from my psp playlist still work as usual.

yep, seems like something broke it in recent updates...doesn't launch for me too...can confirm the nearest core ver it works on is from RA 1.8.1, you can get it from build bot

How about PPSSPP Standalone try it ?

How about PPSSPP Standalone try it ?

It works, although the question was not about standalone. But weirdly enough Medievil Res in standalone has a strange camera bug where it spins around your char and its unfixable (yet at least). It does peform better in standalone overall tho.

It worked on standalone, but as bad361 said, standalone has a game breaking camera bug, so I usually play with Retroarch.

Now with RA 1.8.1 psp core Medievil works fine, problem solved.

i mean... it's not game breaking, but it makes playing the game really challenging lol.

Ok, IMO it's game breaking. I couldn't stand even tutorial, I don't know who could have decided to torture themselves to play like that with spinning camera.

Glad it works as intended on Retroarch

Ive tried literally everything I can think of but I cant get retroarch to work properly. I've deleted the config file, Ive done a complete fresh install of retroarch from scratch but I keep hitting the same problem.

When i start retroarch its all fine, I can move around the menus etc and everything is great. But as soon as I load a core, I lose the ability to control anything. Retroarch hasnt crashed as such ( I can still see the clock and battery percentage ticking over etc but the console wont register any inputs apart from the home button or the button to capture an image. Its the same with any core, or even if i directly start a game. What am I doing wrong?

Is your micro SD card Formated to FAT 32?
Did you downloaded and fresh installed retroarch from a reliable source?
If both answers are YES:
Launch retroarch from the main switch menu and NOT FROM THE ALBUM (It uses more ram)
Configure on the options (Threaded video to ON) in the Video settings in retroarch.
Some PS1 games like Metal gear solid and Final Fantasy VIII 'Requires BIOS files to be put in the Retroarch-System folder in order for these games to boot up and work properly as downloading retroarch does not include them, you have to download them yourself and paste them in the system folder.

Have you installed all the bios files needed for the cores your using . They should be placed into the core/system folder

A couple of questions:
- Which is better, the PPSSPP core or the stand-alone version?
- Suggested clocking settings? I suppose the "boost" mode is fine for everything (2D and PS1/PSP), except N64?
- Speaking of which, could overclocking damage the Switch or the battery?

1. I'd say standalone is better. Games perform better on stock clocks and less problems with crashing/compatibility. But both standalone and RA PPSSPP are pretty much on par with each other.
2. You OC yourself and see what's better for each title/core (if it even needs OC). Many n64 games run fullspeed with stock/slight OC, e.g. mario 64 runs fullspeed underclocked, so its very title dependant (and settings like resolution scale and MSAA etc..)
3. The given OC options won't damage your switch (otherwise devs wouldn't allow them to be chosen... you can OC past given limits but you need to edit source code and compile yourself). Overclocking will only affect your battery life thus battery life span as well if you will use it all the time, it's an obvious effect.

I'm on RA 1.7.7. Will using the Online Updater within RA to update my installed cores, core info, and assets get me to the latest version? Or do I need to replace the nro or other files as well?
