Homebrew RetroArch Switch

If that's the case, then daaaaaaaayum Not to nitpick, but I wish he was using Snes9x mainline instead of 2010.

I do wish so too, buddy.
Hopefully we'll see main Snes9x in the first nightly builds

I’m sure the retroarch team are aware of latest developments and maybe already working on it.

You mean for porting it to libnx?

They may not have access to a switch at the minute on on 3.0. Remember the guy here that lent them a Wii U so they could port retroarch to Wii U. It’ll come it’s just a matter of time.

So, not sure why you guys want to port to libnx (and I'm way too lazy to read that thread). But here's an NRO of RetroArch SNES using my SDCard libtransistor branch. Beware: it might be fairly buggy. And before anyone spews nonsense: Yes, it works under the HBL.

This is based on libtransistor pr #109. This does not support saves yet. I'm on it.

Hey Rob!
What's up?
If I'm not mistaken, you are the same roblabla who develops for libtransistor along with misson, I lurk around the Discord to read your development every now and then.

If you need to add links or put something, let me know through PM here or through the Discord, I have the same name on both places.
I really like to read all of the technicalities and odd stuff that occurs

Thanx for sharin now its folder support.

 

[yardie]

Heres the NES retroarch with sdcard access
built using roblabla's fork


confirmed working
thanks

 

[Tomobobo]

Nice! Amazing thanks for the .nros boys.

 

[yardie]

gba is coming up next
compiling it now

failed to compile
to hungry to troubleshoot

 

[ShadowOne333]

Updated the OP to provide links to download both the FCEUMM and Snes9x 2010 cores in NRO format, provided by both @roblabla and @yardie
Also, updated the OP to reflect the newest changes in the Switch scene (aka libtransistor now working on HBL)

hmm retroarch nes loads but then stucks when trying load rom. But thx anyway in progress trying to install this again.

Works for me

 

[Tomobobo]

I am able to load NES and SNES roms but there is no save support yet. Save states do not work yet either.

 

[untok]

maybe faulty roms

Nor will there be that for a while.

 

[untok]

working now replacin them with unzipped .nes format

 

[ShadowOne333]

working now replacin them with unzipped .nes format

Oh mmmm that might be due to libtransistor, which RA Switch uses, not having any zip library yet.
That might be why, but I'm still not sure if that's the case.

 

[untok]

snes nro does have dunno nes but this way it worked me.

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

hmm noticed too when i exit home to nes retro and go back to images got stuck. But anyways its still early in hb-scene and better than nothing.

I hope we can get ps1 and ppsspp cores on switch soon.

From my understanding HBL on switch included JIT. Is that right? I mean retroarch on HBL now running using JIT.
This is extremely important to enhancing speed of games. Of course beside OpenG/Vulkan rendering.

Also I heard from someone he works on GPU acceleration. So if we got all this already running on switch. We’ll expect even to see dolphin emu running in fullspeed without any issues.

problem with dolphin the the cpu speed not the gpu, since switch has a quadcore 1ghz cpu and dolphin needs more.
