Homebrew RetroArch Switch

[m4xw]

Oof. Didn't even see who I was talking to. Which part am I wrong about? It's definitely faster on the games I've tried

You probably mix up some settings. Also you can't really call it standalone. It is the exact same code like the retroarch build.
I don't do parallel builds anymore because they are precisely said slower (with glide64)

I think the NSP for RetroArch has been updated.
Please be sure to redownload and reinstall for those that were having issues with it.
Also, be sure to let me know if the link is still the same or if it has changed for the recent NSP, as I' still not sure xD

Tried. Nope.

 

[grabman]

do you launch retroarch from the dash or hbmenu?

I see. I'll message around with some settings then. Just for reference, how well should a game like SM64 or Majoras mask run?

SM 29-30 in the yard, drops in the lvls.
Majoras 15-20, make sure to turn off framebuffer emulation

I still can’t find a link to the full nsp retroarch. Only links I can find are the forwarders that crash on sx os on start

Need help with playlists. l followed the guide in the OP but I’m getting “file cannot be loaded through playlist.” I have tried it multiple times and can’t figure what I’m doing wrong. Im sure it’s a path problem but I don’t know how to fix it. Roms and thumbnails already on SD. Using playlist buddy and guide from OP during set up. Roms play when loading core then content just fine. Playlist shows up with file names and thumbnails too. I’m using the nsp from OP. Total noob when it comes to setting up retroarch.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks in advance

Whats your path to your roms on SD?

@ huma dowie ( dunno why it didnt quote you )I got it to work once. But never since lol. I'm pretty sure I went to input and split joycons. It worked then after this it won't. Also the split joycon setting always goes back to "no/off" when restarting retro arch

 

[m4xw]

Thats intended.
Also for the setting change to be triggered, the joycons need to be connected and disconnected from the console once

Which nsp did you use? The one from the retroarch site just crashes my switch at launch

I used the nsp in buildbot libretro, stable, 1.7.5, for switch. Note that I already had the 7z from the same folder extracted onto my sd. I'm using SX2.0, exfat sdcard. Hope this helps!

I’d there a suggested mame romset for mame 2003 experimental? My leathal enforcers is upside down?

Whats your path to your roms on SD?

x:\roms

 

[ploggy]

x:\roms

In playlist buddy the path will be \roms (no x: )


Example.. this is a snip of my C64 Playlist.. Notice the rom path.

/downloads/Commodore - C64/1942.d64
1942
DETECT
DETECT
DETECT
Commodore - C64.lpl

ok for the path under playlist settings I used sd:/roms
Like in the OP. So redo that with just \roms instead right?

yes exactly.


@ShadowOne333 you may want to change that in the op. it's not like on WiiU where the Path is sd:/ on Switch it's just /

 

[kylum]

yes exactly.

ok so that raises another question. Should the path to core show \retroarch\cores\xxxx then instead of what is in the OP "sd:/retroarch/cores/xxxx

Probably but that step is optional anyway

I edited the pic for Switch

EDIT: Changed the Switch paths to forward slashes

Don't know what I'm doing wrong. Still giving me same error. Looks just like your edited pic other than the drive letters being different of course. Also tried with using DETECT, same result.

Edit: Got it working correctly. Update the image with core path and rom path with forward slashes "/retroarch/cores/xxxxx.nro and /roms". Before you ask yes i had those checked as in the image. I noticed while looking in notepad at the .ipl, not everything gets changed
