Homebrew RetroArch Switch

Hmm I didn’t know that EA released Command and Conquer and Red Alert as freeware (full iso release, official). That’s pretty nice.

Hmm, about time EA does something good.

Anyone gotten goldeneye working without stutters properly

Best I've gotten so far is the march 7th svc version of the mupen next core. It still stutters a little bit, but it's like 85 percent of the way there.

Cool what about Dune 2? Don't know if it was the same publisher or whatever.

The dosbox dynarec core is now public:

Use quickmenu->controls.

Choose Keyboard + mouse
Go back one menu and forward again
Set user binds to keyboard keys you want. I use keyboard up down etc cursor keys to dpad etc. save core remap file to save your mappings.

For mouse control (already enabled by default), quickmenu->options, enable game pad mouse emulation. If it is enabled, you control the mouse pointer using right stick and ZL/ZR as mouse buttons.

Nice! Sim city 2000 also works great

I always preferred OG Sim City, could never get a handle on having to manage water pipes in Sim City 2000

Sim City SNES is best

I can't get Pokemon AshGray to run on both MGBA and VBA-Next cores on Retroarch. It loads the game but then just crashes to black. Any fix for this? It works on any emulator on PC but i'm running on the switch.

wow! screamer 2 works fantastic!:



Thanks @m4xw and @rsn8887 for your hard work!

Yes I tried it, runs great! Also tried Death Gate, Shannara (adventures) and Lollypop (platform game), they all run great!

Edit: Other games I tried yesterday: Anvil of Dawn and Stonekeep both ran great!

Heh I think we have different definitions of fantastic
But glad you enjoy it

Just a heads-up, I will do some cleanup on the mupen/dosbox dynarec impl. for Switch, this means we will soon get it on the buildbot, but I play with the Idea to drop support for fw's that don't support JIT patches (< 4.0), as perf. is horrible due to limitations.

Poll about JIT support

Why would we care about anyone who's not willing to use ChoiDujourNX?
Just drop it.

Just vote to voice your opinion
I prefer less work for me, but I don't just wanna drop support for these fw's cold, unless there is a general consensus

Respect!

Newer isn't always better, and I'm one of those people who always stays behind on FW (on any device) unless there's a very compelling reason to move forward. I know most people these days have 'Obsessive Update Disorder' and it doesn't matter if it's Firmware, Software, App Updates etc, they just have to update for no other reason than "it's the latest available".

But I definitely agree with lordelan in this situation seeing as how users are able to decide which FW they want to be on using ChoiDujourNX. Which is something that's not typically an option on the majority of other platforms out there these days.

You just won’t be happy until the Switch runs everything, will you?

Completely appreciate the time and effort you put into all of this. And I’ll just remind everyone that you have a Patreon, should anyone wish to show their appreciation.

That’s funny, every time I look at this thread and see the amazing work you’re doing, I think... am I high? I must have imagined that

I must try Theme Hospital when I get the chance, I loved that game.

Dosbox really looks great, I'll give Civilization 1 a try this evening. With the correct button mapping it should be quite playable.
I remember I even played the SNES version on my PSP for hours on train rides. Damn, I really prefer the Civ 1 graphics over the newer ones. Everything is reduced to what you really need to know. Sadly, Civ 1 is too easy.

What about joystick mapping? Has anyone tried Tie Fighter (or X-Wing, etc.) so far?
