Yes.

Can you say me how?

You go your controller settings on the homescreen and connect two controllers. That's all you need to do.

On the homescreen of the Switch or retroNX?

LOL JK

But seriously though just do it on the Switch homescreen. You don't have to do it within RetroArch/RetroNX/whatever.

Hello,
I think I'm facing a problem

I've a Switch under the 6.0.1 version
and I've SX OS 2.0.1
I've got a Sandisk 128go ExtFat sd card

ISSUE :

My issue is that I am able to launch RetroArch 1.7.5 with success
BUT it's start saying 'RetroArch 1.7.5 - No Core'

DETAILS :

When I select, 'Load Core' menu -> No Core is listed
When I under Parameters > Directories : when I want to change a directory only the Nintendo folder is listed, it doesn't list retroarch folder or my switch folder for instance. As if, the sd card was there...
Weird thing, when I select 'Load content' > Only Nintendo folder is listed
BUT if I put 'Show Hidden files" to ON, I can finally see all my folders and files of my sd card

WHAT I'VE DONE :

I launch RetroArch directly with SX Homebrew launcher (under album menu)
I've tried to launch it with hbmenu (Holding R + album), but it says no app is present inside my 'switch' folder
I've tried NSP RetroArch version, but same issue, it starts with 'RetroArch 1.7.5 - No Core'
I've set all my files/folder from my sd card as NOT HIDDEN with my computer but same problem

WEIRD THINGS :

I'm new in Switch hack, so I don't know if I've done something bad but
I think I am unable to load Homebrew with SX OS Homebrew launcher (from the album) if I put my NRO under the 'switch' folder
I ve to put them directly inside the ROOT folder of my sd card to be able to see them (this issue can explain why hbmenu is unable to see my apps)
I've tried to copy / paste all the retroarch folder inside the Nintendo folder but its not listed by Retroarch browser (sigh)

So, I don't know what to do, maybe I'm going to test standalone emulator to see if sd card is well read
Maybe it's simply not possible in v6.0.1

Would be cool if someone can tell me what is wrong with my set up

Honestly, the first thing you should do is format your SD to Fat32. I'm sure you've read that 1000x times and think you don't need to, I never had major issues with ExFat, only minor, stupid ones. But after going to Fat32, no issues.
I'd recommend updating sxos, as I'm on 2.2 and it's been working flawless.
If you choose to format to Fat32, do a fresh install of Retroarch onto your SD as well, don't reuse old files.

 

[Illuminaticy]

^^
Thanks, faster then I could do it with my internet being crazy
Adding onto that, the files go
RetroArch folder onto root of SD
RetroArch .NRO into /switch
Retroarch .NSP wherever you normally install NSP's
Nothing needs to go into the Nintendo folder.

 

[Samuel22200]

Ok
thank you guys for your help
Formatting my sd card in FAT32 solved my issue !

I would never find the solution alone

 

[misticknight1]

Finally got around to letting it copy to the sd card. Is it me or does it run a little slower than the previous unofficial version (RetroNX?)? The sound seems to be breaking up in SotN Using the psx rearmed code I don’t remember that when I was using retronx.

 

[kje123]

anyways

any word on the n64 bounty? its been sitting there a while and idk if anyones publicly said they're working on something

 

[Plex7]

What's with the music section? I scan my music folder doesn't pick up any mp3s. This update is awesome nevertheless!

Also how do you assign a key for COIN for FBA games?! Can't find it anywhere.

 

[DaniPoo]

We hit optimization bedrock long ago (generally speaking), only option would be writing assembly by now.

But there is quite a lot of performance to be gained in that by doing that
Dynarec.. I hope someone will be up for the task

 

[m4xw]

But there is quite a lot of performance to be gained in that by doing that

No, not *that* much.
We already let it vectorize all the things, so NEON does its job already, else we wouldn't be anywhere near current performance levels (basically just some optimizations here and there are missing)
Dynarec on the other hand...^^

I see, that is quite interesting. But it's the CPU that is holding the performance back right? Without dynarec it won't be possible to take advantage of GPU acceleration?

Anyway the performance is already quite impressive Especially when you start comparing the AR performance on switch and other systems such as the WiiU and PSvita.

 

[m4xw]

Yes, also threading synchronization is a Issue for some cores, also opengl forces synchronization internally on us leading to weird side effects

Without dynarec it won't be possible to take advantage of GPU acceleration?

Well, if you look at frame timings in mupen, from a pure gfx side we run more than fullspeed. But frame deviation is like 200%. So you have some frames render quick and a huge delay once logic gets triggered.

Especially when you start comparing the AR performance on switch and other systems such as the WiiU and PSvita.

hay am having trouble in my retroarch am runnging latest offical biuld
