Homebrew RetroArch Switch

I use Atmosphere 0.8.3 by fusee-primary.bin with Mupen64plus-next core (try original Mupen64 too), and always get this error when try lunch StarCraft 64
But on SXOS 2.5.3 - works, very slowly and with audio bugs

You held R with starting a game with SXOS right? To get the extra RAM.

If so it might just be that game is not fully playable.

I can’t even get N64 games to load using fusee primary. I have to use hekate to load CFW, no payload.bin for Mupen64_next to not crash. I’m getting error then retroarch closes. When I choose CFW under hekate everything works great.

Edit: just tried StarCraft and it loads fine. Moving around the map sucks and feels broken but seems playable

I try on SX OS with R button - all the same. In any case I launch Retro Arch by NSP in SX OS - it full RAM access without R button)) Why Retro Arch crash on atmosphere I don’t know. Try lunch atmosphere by Hekate payload - get a same crash missage like in Retro Arch. SX OS I think more stable

Like @m4xw would say the problem is in front of the switch. Lol
You are doing a few things wrong. Refer back to the OP. SX is not supported and neither is the NSP. Follow this to get full access to ram. Which is also linked in the OP and is a must to get retroarch working correctly

MelonDS BIOS's just go in the BIOS folder yeah?

Ds BIOS goes into cores, system.
And the files had to be renamed as it is said.

 

[M7L7NK7]

All good, just didn't want compatibility issues be because I had it in the wrong folder

 

[cucholix]

Is someone else having gray screen with 7.0.1?

I'm having the same error code. I can access the hbmenu if I press R and launch the album. If I try to launch a game while pressing R its just starting the game. I'm using the newest files from sdsetup for the cfw. I followed Step 1-4 but can you help me out with step 5 from linked tutorial? Usually I use the hekate_ctcaer_4.6.bin file to launch the cfw. Is this the mistake Im making?

If you can’t load HBmenu while pressing R while loading a game then you might be doing something wrong in step 2 or 3. Are you using “app” or “title id”. Also if atmosphere is not updated then using “app” will not work and you will have to use the title id. Using app was added to atmos in 0.8.3.

Hope this helps

it works now thanks! but now retroarch is not finding any cores. do I need to run the retro arch installer first?

Everything is in the nightly you downloaded from the link in the OP. Except the N64 core that actually works

I am confused. Lets start from beginning. I deleted all retroarch related files on my sd card. Which files do I need to download now beside the n64 core?

Running off of Atmosphere 0.8.4 this won't boot.

Seriously, you need to read the OP. Most of, if not all your answers are already answered as part of the guide that is outlined. Now there have been reports that the latest nightly has issues but has not been confirmed. So I would download the one from three days ago to be sure, that is the one I’m on and it works fine.

Why did you update? Are you guys on HOS 7.0.x?
