Yayy so are we getting a port untill the "Fully working" one arrives?? Fine with me!

@KHEOPS - I also have the no sprite issue on Mortal Combat II x32 (J/U) - regardless of if it is launched via album, or a hbmenu.nsp.

Emulator is picodrive.

md5 of the rom I've tried is a95c0e7c1d35fd42cd2e3eb7b06cb6d0

OC was set to 1.5

Tried a few different emu core settings, but to no avail.

The first thing that comes to mind that could cause a difference is, that I'm on the prerelease version of the new overclockable build - maybe something changed in the official release builds?

Also @zomgugoff - could you maybe provide the md5 hash of the MKII rom, you've reportedly working?

VF and Starwars Arcade (x32) work like a charm, btw.

That's what I thought....
With advice like that, waste time, remove the sdcard, download a rom, transfer, injected + jig etc....
While I have the best dump that exists, confirmed that it works on real hardware with krikks everdrive flashcard , works on my mamecab xp, win 10 calamity driver on crt tv, then on my gpd xd android.... Anyway, you know what I mean? Thanks notimp, it's time to sort out the names and those who give good and true advice! That's why I asked you to test it, because you're like me...you're testing things relentlessly.

Neh. Sometimes I just throw proverbial stones at a lake and see how many times they skip... Like everyone else.

Well the advantage of the switch is that I can test things directly, my gpdxd tablet on the gbatemp forum, having the fullset, it is quick and easy to test for me, example of the advice , castlevania sotn, I told the guy to try the pbp format, because I know it works, and before answering I checked again, started the game and then answered on gba temp ( reply) after that, no matter how serious it was

I could say that tomb raider1, compilation with demo in pbp doesn't work, like gunners heaven that crashes after character selection, final doom freeze Etc...
Compatibility is not very good for psx.

Is there any chance of getting a port of blue msx or virtual jaguar to the overclocked retroarch. Please and thank you.

Thanks for taking this on. What kind of performance gains are you expected to get from this "lazy" method?

 

[CatmanFan]

Hmm, I’ve noticed that in Mario 64 in-game the coin counter and star counter both don’t show up

Weird, I've had that issue too, and setting the texture filtering to 3-point seems to fix it I guess.

To answer my own question

Quote from Gillou68310

This looks like a good plan! We can set a first goal for Christmas for the lazy implementation, I can definitely assist you to reach this goal. The next goal will be the optimized implementation. Just to be 100% transparent it's hard to estimate what will be the performance gain from the optimized version until it's finished. I just want to warn everybody that the optimized version might not give a huge performance boost. But it's definitely worth the try!

What i ended up doing for the assets issue is use nxshell to extract the file and it did make a difference error is gone i am so happy so happy. This has supercharged my switch. So far waver racer both zeldas and super mario all playable for me. The battery drain doesnt seem bad at all either.

To answer my own question

Quote from Gillou68310

Its hard to predict.
TL;DR; We will try both ways and pick the "best" way anyway.
It can depend on many factors if there even will be a increase, but I don't want to say we didn't try
Also the "lazy" way is still thousands upon thousands of changes. I hope people don't get that part wrong

 

[ploggy]

Thanks, Of course any performance increase is welcome and by lazy I didn't mean it to sound easy or trivial, I'm just going by the term coined in that Github thread

Yea but I know some will get that wrong.
Just coders talking under themselves

Hi can you elaborate on this? I set Bilinear filtering mode to 3point and still have that issue.

Under texture filter there is no 3point option

Interesting. So it is the same MKII rom.

Can you post what steps you took plz. I would like to get the missing assets in SM64 and Zelda to show
