I don't care about money or what anyone thinks about me.

I thought I understood the OP but I'm confused after searching the thread.

Do I need the RetroArch NRO if I plan on using the NSP? The OP makes it sound as if the NSP is standalone but other posts suggest it is a forwarder.

Do I need the HBloader NSP?

How do I update RetroArch? If the NSP is a forwarder I assume I can just update the NRO using HB Appstore. If the NSP is standalone could I update by reinstalling an updated NSP?

 

[notimp]

The Retroarch install is close to one 1GB.
The NSP is 11MB.

Try the NSP without the NRO, my money is on that RA wont start.

THe NSP was updated a few times to make retroarch exit cleanly if you launched it from the nsp, but I think in essence its a launcher (please correct me if wrong), that doesnt need to be updated frequently. Still - you might want to do it once in a while.. (Please correct me if wrong).

The sole "reason" for the NSP to exist is to allow RA to use more ram (every nro is limited to the ram usage max of Gallery, which is below requirements of certain emulation cores). Afair thats only important for two N64 emus that dont run fullspeed yet.

edit: Updating the nro alone isnt sufficient (+/-) because the bundles also include all emulation cores as nros (newer versions over time). Considering most peoples behavior, they wont do this through the built in core update function, so - those would never update, if they only went with a HB installer app.

Install manually, use official packages.

It will start and you can setup a whole installation just with the NSP (via the updater).
Only for advanced users tho

Thanks for the correction.

Everything that I just said was wrong. In theory.

In practice though...

(Use full package, dont use HB install tools.. Imho.)

The Retroarch install is close to one 1GB.
The NSP is 11MB.

The reason why the NSP is only 11MB is because it's only the standalone RetroArch app, with no cores at all, only the frontend.
From there, and with the frontend already running, you can go ahead and download all of the required cores, assets, thumbnails, etc, without taking your SD card out of the console.

Excellent. Thank you. And updating RetroArch itself (the application)? Is it possible within RetroArch via the updater?

That I'm not sure of to be honest.
You'd have to ask @LibretroRetroArc to see if the NSP is being updated regularly in a nightly basis like the cores, or if its entirely apart.

I understand. I will figure that out. Thanks much.

Anyone know if there is a working Dreamcast core?

hey guys i have a problem copying the retroarch folder to the root of my sd card (sorry if this is a common problem addressed earlier). it slows down to like 1 kb/s and takes hours to copy. this is just after i had copied quite a few "back ups" that were gbs in size in just a few seconds. and i tested after with another file incase i damaged the sd card and it was fast too its just the retroarch folder itself. any ideas please?

Its probably ur sdcard . Going bad.

 

[misticknight1]

if so then why did the other much bigger files copy easily? like i said i tested another backup (7.7gb) right after retroarch gave me problems.

Hi mate, I want to ask you about Switch hardware in relation with Retroarch. Do u think there is still enough potential for high improve performance? or depends more on optimization?

Cheers!
