For everybody which wants to rebuild vbanext it wont work i had to add many flags to bypass some errors because vba next is build into c++ so we have to wait for c++ to be fully supported by Libtransistor but i am sure that wont take long.

Can't believe how there's progress almost every day! That's bloody fantastic!

Off topic edit: I'm back to my very first avatar. Don't be confused. It's still me.

Wow! Waiting for 3.0.0+ exploit to try this out!

Would be cool if someone will port mGBA next as it covers GB and GBC as well or does VGBA cover those too?

 

[Naminave]

It could be, at least. Create backup of games, load games (original or modified), modify DLC or use a cheat input method?. From Reswitched

The developer of mGBA, @endrift, already got in talks with a user to buy a 3.0.0 Switch so that a port of mGBA could be worked on.
So it will come out, eventually

Also, seeing how there are already some cores working on the Switch, it won't be long until the mGBA core gets a port as well.

It sucks I was on 3.0.1 and didnt see the warning to stay on 3.0.0 when it was posted :/
Meh, I want games anyway so that takes my priority.

Also, just fyi, initial (and official) Nintendo Switch support will be added to the 1.7.1 release of RetroArch

I am still editing it here and there when I see something new from you.

If I read that correctly... did that just say Wii? :ooo hype

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

but on 4.1.0

 

[fatsquirrel]

Already better than WiiU one

It's the Prosystem core (Atari 7800 emulator).
The Wii U thing you see is just the target for compilation.

What this means is we will have yet another core added to both Wii U and Switch RetroArch.

Amazing, man! Not only the cheats. Also the fact that you posted a video of Contra is pleasing me.

I don't wanna sound like a teenager who just fell in love with a girl in his class but all the current RetroArch and Kernelhax/CFW progress on the Switch is just making me goddamn happy.

I'm really not impatient and I don't want any devs to rush but by only looking on what has been achieved within only one month now I can see having RetroArch as an app installed (thanks to a CFW) and running almost as good as the current Wii U port by the end of the year with support for multiple controller combinations, savegames and a collection of roms on the mSD card ... at least for the "2D systems".
