Homebrew RetroArch Switch

[Trice]

anyone have any information regarding "menu UI called Ozone"?
I downloaded the latest nightly but I cannot see it anywhere.

I am curious as to what it looks like and performs. Where I was reading about it the first time I thing it was on the libretro blog and there is said it was a driver, here it sais it's UI (GUI?).
Im a bit confused...

Menu driver is what the RetroArch team calls their GUIs and Ozone is the one being developped by natinusala who's also quite active here, especially in the Lakka topic.

They posted some pics of it on their Twitter (and probably here somewhere too): https://twitter.com/natinusala/status/1044701117848985603?s=19

Stuff

Dude, you can string multiple sentences into these things called paragraphs. You genuinely don't have to press enter after each sentence. Try putting 4 or 5 sentences together into a paragraph. It's an amazing feature of the English language.

Ok so I guess it's not done yet then Anyway it looks pretty cool. however I really enjoy the XMB GUI so I hope they wont remove it in favor of Ozone

Nah they won't remove anything.
That's why you have options.
You can choose from rgui, to other menu drivers like xmb, material ui, some others I can't recall, and coming soon Ozone as well, which will be my preferred menu driver for RetroArch Switch of course

I'm really curious if the game list will look similar to the Switch one as well or if it will be like the other menu screens. Don't really know how flexible the menu driver system actually is with different looking screens depending on the content displayed. But in any case, I'm pretty sure I'll use Ozone on my Switch as I like the simplistic Switch UI a lot.

The game's will show up as a list, it's wont be as in the Switch UI...
Or at least I don't think so, it'd be way too much work and I don't think natinusala would go out of his way to implement such a thing
It would be neat for sure, but right now finishing the Ozone UI might be his top priority, perhaps that idea could come later once it has its initial release.

Retroarch.NSP crash for me , same for you ? (FW 6.0)

Ah well, that's fine. I already like it more than XMB as it is now, so I'll be happy in any case. And who knows that will happen later, as you said. ^^

When I scanned my SNES roms it didn't show up correctly, some roms were shown as "Nintendo - Super Nintendo Hacks" I managed to fix this by scanning the same roms via retroarch on my PC and modifying the SNES playlist to point towards the correct rom path on my SD card. Now all the games show up under Super Nintendo, the boot and they have correct cover art.

Sometimes it pays off to play around a little

I'm just a bit confused as to why the PC version and the Switch version would scan the games differently.. hmm

What are the ideal settings for PSX? I loaded up THPS2 and it runs slow/sound is choppy. I read in a different thread that someone had beaten the game twice using the core.

Audio and video threaded set to ON

Thanks. I found the video threading option but not the audio one. The video treading toggled helped significantly. Am I missing something?

Just try it now with the videos threading turned on and come back if it's laggy

How do you get thumbnail artwork to display?. I have scanned my NES directory and now have a nes tab listing all my games, have enabled thumbnails in the appearance settings and downloaded the thumbnails from the Online Updater menu but im still not getting any thumbnails displaying next to my nes games?

Is this working with SX Pro?

When using the NSP, I can't exit RetroArch without using the home button. When I use the menu and select exit, the screen goes black and then RetroArch reloads.

What file extension does the 64 games have to be? The one i tried (perfect dark.z64) didn't seem to work.

I'm getting an error when trying to boot the NSP. It just closes. The .nro version works just fine. Is there anything I have to do to it to make it work? Or simply by installing the NSP it should work? The forwarder NSP does the same.

I'm using OS 1.9 on 5.1.
