any news when he is gonna push the pr ?

Looks like it's in the main retroarch repo already: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/commit/7487d938b39d87f09ae009bc9ee44eb582767977
https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/commits/master
Of note, see the commits by misson20000.

@ShadowOne333 any news when the pr comes online ?

For the graphics driver thing?
Not yet that I know of, though sdcardfs did get merged into the development branch yesterday:

I think it's a RetroArch thing versus libtransistor thing...

https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/commit/7487d938b39d87f09ae009bc9ee44eb582767977

Just make sure to compile from the main libretro repo rather than the one in the reswitched repo.

Oh it was a change in RetroArch, not libtransistor.
I searched in the wrong repo
But anyway, so with this changes the RA builds should be more reliable.

For those that have compiled cores before, please try recompiling with the newest RetroArch commit as well as the latest libtransistor development branch

Oh btw guys.
I think the problem with the inverted colours might be the endian-ness of them.
From what I can see, only Red and Blue are inverted, while Green still retains it's proper colour in game.

So I think right now the core on the Switch is reading them as BGR instead of RGB.
A simple change in endianness might do the trick to fix the colours.

now here is the thing it loads on the switch it fixes the colors , but it wont load any games on hw maybe somebody can figure out why ? it uses the latest commits from libretro , it loads the menu fine on the switch

on ryujinx it loads the game

What core is that?

 

[Deleted User]

beetle

What core is that?

psx

 

[ploggy]

Great to see PS1 running on Switch.. Wont be long now Does PSX Rearmed compile? I know Beetle is the better Emu but Rearmed should be faster?

 

[Deleted User]

i didnt mess with rearmed yet since simias fixed beetle extra for us

I'm guessing this fixed that - https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/commit/90c36c52ced5b68b81948e62443354d65412de36

but that breaks something else

this includes the color fix , and it loads the games. (Thx GDKChan from the RyuJinx Team for fixing the Color issue)

the newest commits of Misson2000 are doomed please wait for a fix

https://www.bountysource.com/issues/48048939-dynamic-recompiler-380-bounty if you know somebody who wants to get that bounty , we need the Dynarec Recompiler for aarch64 it would boost psx emulation around 10 to 20 fps , atm we are running at 6 fps

 

[notimp]

*Eeek* I'll try to run Policenauts, as it might be one of the early playable ones, as long as HW acceleration is out.

Yes you’re right HW acceleration is important for enhancing the speed. Also we hope to could enable vulkan api as well to makes performance of games a lot better.
Also it could open doors for ppsspp as well.

what we need first is Dynarec aarch64.

 

[ShadowOne333]

The Bounty is for a general dynarec, but one of the points is to make the dynarec in a way which could make it easily portable to any architecture.
This all started with the bounty for the Dynarec for Wii U (PPC).

One other thing that could be done is to try to compile PSX Rearmed and compare the two.
Iirc that one does have a dynamic recompiler already implemented for ARM.

its funny but spyro the dragon is the best running game atm

 

[notimp]

Tried Policenauts, got the usual experience three crashes until the .nro loaded up once, upon loading the game, the HBL launcher still would be on screen. Even the Bios, and the 2D psychonauts title screen ran at 1/4 speed (judging from the music, and the emulation picture shimmering through.. ), so its not just 3D emulation, its the current speed of that core in general.
