Homebrew RetroArch Switch

[hippy dave]

Have you guys asked on the Discord for advice with the linking stuff? Keep up the good work anyway

Why is it so hard to port RetroArch to any FW above 3.x?

 

[Billy Acuña]

Gland to see a wip libnx port

Good-ish news. I finally got everything to get linked and I hobbled together a few methods that libnx is missing! Bad news is that while the nro technically doesn't crash, it doesn't do much. It sits at a blinking cursor for some reason. Also, I def broke the code to resolve absolute paths so that might have something to do with it. either way, here's the build. if someone could open it up in yuzu, I'm sure there are logs that would help! also, I pushed the code so everything should be online ill try to work on this later

I've managed to get retroarch to compile with mgba but it's just launching to a black screen currently. I'll start poking at it more later. Here's what I've got in the meantime if someone else wants to work on it as well.

I'll link to my mgba & snes9x2010 changes shortly

lol you posted your solution at the same time as I posted mine! I'll take a look at yours. Mine doesn't even give a blinking cursor. I also broke the path resolving lol

EDIT:
And here's my mgba fork: https://github.com/nchowning/mgba

Just a question please did 3.0.0 already have gpu/HW acceleration or not?
If yes can we test ps1 or ppsspp to see how it runs on 3.0.0?
Because as you see 3.0.0 is already have LibNX support.

Oh

 

[Samus20XX]

yup

 

[Fadi5555]

yup

Thanks for telling me that.
I hope we can get get gpu/HW acceleration support on all fw

Dont think it is, i think they are waiting for Atmosphere (my assumption)

just a little update for you guys. this is on 4.1 btw Also, i did a little work regarding the audio driver but I imagine it's complete trash that won't work. It says it initializes properly though, fwiw

 

[ploggy]

Progress!! thanks for keeping us updated

so this is RetroArch on Linux ? LibNX ?

Libnx Retroarch

It's libnx on 4.1. Don't get too excited, though. I still have to figure out the scaling issue, then gotta write joycon support, then audio stuff, and THEN make sure the actual lib loading (linking the emulator) part works. We got a bit. But I'm chugging along
