Homebrew RetroArch Switch

[peteruk]

Some assistance please ?

My first time using RetroArch on any device... I've got everything where it's meant to be updated everything

Load core Mupen64plus, goto Load Content select rom which presents browse archive or load archive when i select load archive it comes up with only 2 suggested cores Arcade (FB Alpha) and Arcade (MAME 2000) - even though I already loaded the core

Any advice please

Just seems a shame, as it's all running fine but at the very final hurdle of loading the rom it's only showing 2 recommended cores, which is really weird when I already loaded the correct core

 

[jammybudga777]

have you tried loading the core first then loading a rom? have you also tried changing the core it loads in the playlist settings?

Hi mate, yes I've tried loading the correct core and then loading the rom but each time I attempt to load a rom it comes up with 2 suggested cores and no others, ignoring the one I loaded prior

weird

 

[jammybudga777]

then have you changed in the settings tab under playlist. should say n64 then press right to choose its core?

It might help to generate logs...

Under settings tab and then playlists there is nothing stating n64

Perhaps I should just give up and wait on a guide like you say

Thanks for trying to help all the same

no worrys. hopefully someone uses there brains and writes a proper guide. without partial info all over the place. thought the developers actually wanted people using there stuff but hey....

Does exFAT still have issues with Retroarch?

Still? This won't "end". And it's not something RetroArch does, it's exFAT itself. Just don't use it.

Haaa ! I got it working, total school boy error, the roms were archived and needed unpacked before loading

All running beautifully now - thanks for guidance


EDIT - Super MArio 64 looks and sounds stunninig

You see, I'm doing exactly that. I am running sxos (for my sins) on 6.2 - used the nsp to load RetroArch

I followed parts of the guide on youtube by Jason L (think he goes by Leonidas87 on here), he has a bunch of files linked on his guide and I used them, all seems fine now

Mario 64 is a thing of beauty

thank you so much. ill have a go at this shortly. would kinda expect that to be on the front page of the 3 threads ive had to dig through on gbatemp. also why is this a thing but we cant use the retroarch nsp to achieve this know?

 

[ZachyCatGames]

I think it's possible edit the nsp before installing.

Correct.

Also the game icon is in the control NCA, it might be possible to make a mitm for it

 

[sj33]

so i genuinely cant do this without hekate then? where is a full flat out guide for this? i dont get why im searching 2 or more threads for parts of info...

You can do it with hekate, Atmosphere and the ReiNX nightly.

will any of the recent advances in overclocking and whatnot bring us closer to psp?
