@m4xw Is there way to map a button combo to a retroPad key?
Something like for ingame SELECT = ZL+A.
Reason I'm asking is DosBox. Some games make use of way more (keyboard) "buttons" than a gamepad has.
I wouldn't mind if I had to do some editor works on the PC (if it's not doable by the GUI on the console). Just wanted to know if it's possible and how.

I don't think it's possible, is physical keyboard/mouse devices enabled?

Just a heads up, the 01-10-2019 build of Mupen64 has the dynamic recompiler.
Unfortunatelly still not working for me ( tested via NSP and Homebrew Menu NSP, 4.1 firmware, I still have to try layredFS takeover ).
But still, even without the dynarec i've noticed improved performance.

Oh yea 4.x (>= 4.0, < 5.0) is completely broken currently - or at least it should.

EDIT: I presume you mean the 1-10-2019 nightly which includes the mupen core.

Do you mean the 1-10-2019 nightly build of Retroarch for Switch - or is there a source for the .nro for Mupen64? I got the beta Mupen .nro from the discord channel so I've never seen where it would be downloaded off the web.

Where can I toggle speed up on mgba like on the Vita? On the Vita I had it set for when you held right on the right analog stick. Can't find it in settings.

m4xw tweeted a link to the dynarec mupen64 NRO earlier in the week.

Right. That's what I was speaking to (I have that earlier nro). So what is the 1-10-2019 in reference to?
I'm talkint about the automatic built cores NRO. In the Orginal post click the latest switch build link. In the page you'll see a list of retroarch bundles, named with the date it was built. Notice there is also a folder, libnx i believe. Click it and you'll se individual cores NRO, it it also show the build date-time. These are the nightly core builds. Thats what im referring.

Last nightly had a much faster cached interpreter, but wow, this one with the dynarec is WAY faster than the beta. Banjo Kazooie can fast forward over 2x in previously problematic areas now. Dang.

Can somebody check if Retroarch still has that "slow and choppy after suspend/wake" problem?

I don't have my Switch atm.

Just start some game in Retroarch, press home, press home again and see if it becomes slow with choppy sound.

Also you can try to press the power button to go to sleep, then press it again to wake up. Does Retroarch become slow after doing this?

Ran in to an issue last night where RetroArch stopped registering all inputs, even after a reboot. The only thing I did was replace the mupen64 core NRO with the one from the latest nightly. I'll have to see if switching back to the old NRO fixes it.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.

    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
