Homebrew RetroArch Switch

[mspy]

As long the emulator supports the ZIP format it should be OK, I was even thinking going for .7z but I don't think many emulators support it.

I'm having issues with DK64 not saving on the latest nightly.
Can anyone confirm this?

didnt change shit for days

@m4xw - Do you or anyone know if the Cheat Search Function in RA is being looked into? Not working properly not just on the Switch.

Is it normal for Retroarch to quit directly back to the Switch's Home Screen when pressing home button?

Is there any way to make it behave like a normal game, when u soft exit Retroarch by using Home button, u can still resume Retroarch from when you "suspended" it?

Not possible because the whole OS has Home mapped for going back to the Hone menu.
It's a HOS thing, not RetroArch.

Either that, or they're talking about using it in applet mode; which is even more an HOS thing and not a fault of homebrew.

Even if you use RA on applet or title redirection mode, the result is the same:
Pressing Home button brings you to the Home menu.
It's the same for any method of launching HBL or any homebrew app, heck even NSPs, and that's because HOS always has that and the Screen button mapped to the same service at all times.

But remember, kiddos, ALWAYS run your homebrew through title redirection

Kind of missing the point, considering their phrasing:

...Which is what leads me to believe they're talking about simply suspending the software; implying they've been running through the applet.

So to answer the original question; that's what Title Redirection allows, to suspend homebrew like any other normal game.

Ah you're right then, he might be using applet, which completely kills any homebrew running when pressing Home.
Then yes, he should use title redirection instead of running through the album applet.

Also Applet mode alone brokes Ozone, so it is not supported for RetroArch in any way.

you need to have neogeo.zip along with your roms (in the same folder) to run neogeo games, all metal slugs are working

hello I'm using AMS 0.12 and can't launch retroarch anymore. It crash atmosphere and I have to reboot. Any idea ? All other applications are working fine expect Tinfoil (but for this one it is normal). thanks.

How do you launch RA? Im on 10.0.1 FW and latest Atmos (0.12) and RA works just fine for me.

Use title override, it's the only supported method. Hold R when launching any title (game) until you are in hb menu. But if you are eager to use forwarders, update your sigpatches for latest atmos.

Fresh install works great. I'll need to redo my config.something must be wrong somewhere. just need to find what !

Edit 1 : just did a quick test. it looks like the xmb interface makes it crash. Could you try and let me know ? (backup your retroarch.cfg first)

Edit 2 : tried from a fresh install to load my ipl list and crash again. I guess I'll wait for the next version to fix these issues. spend hours to config my retroarch.

Thanks!! I forgot to put this file, what a stupid
What are the bios I need to run MS 5 & 6?

 

[bad361]

Mslug5 is neogeo too, so it works with fbneo and neogeo.zip as i mentioned before... Mslug6 is atomiswave, for that you need flycast core and awbios.zip in your .../system/dc directory. Anyway mslug6 runs half speed and is unplayable on flycast atm.

Is there a way to improve graphic rendering using shaders?
