Homebrew RetroArch Switch

[Deleted User]

@AirbusX Try to launch retroarch, set cpu overclocking to 1700Mhz, close retroarch, open PPSSPP standalone. Did you still have clicking? It work for me.
The overclock from retroarch (or whatever app that touch frequencies) stay until you close the application entierely I think (unless you have some plugin that will break this behavior)

That sounds like a bug to me, the overclocking from Retroarch should not stay active after it is closed

@rsn8887 I think the overclocking from any homebrew act like this
The HBL could re-set the default values at start but it could also interfer with some plugin or whatever people use to manage overclock.
I am lazy to do it now, but it could be cool to have an app that is not a plugin to set overclock, say stock or custom, or some preset. accessible from hbl and not based on a game or titleid basis. (maybe sys-clk can do it I have not even tried to find a solution really).

I also added a mouse speed option to DOSbox-SVN core yesterday. It helps with some games where the mouse pointer moves really fast (or slow).

Vice Switch has now become my goto C64/16 Emu of choice.. The PSP was my og but now the Switch has taken the lead thanks mate for you continued work, it's much appreciated.

The dosbox mouse speed change is just what I needed to set up Rise of the Triad for dual-stick play, so kudos for that. Although I wouldn't mind seeing the max multiplier go higher as 3.0 is only just enough to make this work.

Wow the mouse must be quite slow in that game. I will try to make another pull request tomorrow to go up to 4.0 if I find time

 

[Rahkeesh]

Well ROTT is an FPS if you aren't familiar, so the mouse is for camera turn rather than a cursor. But yes it is slow even on max sensitivity in-game. 1.0 was unusable, 3.0 is about the same speed as turning with keyboard.

For PSP, I recommend using m4xw's standalone version of PPSSPP, it is much better than the Retroarch PPSSPP core.

really ? I played retroarch PPSSPP core just fine like MegaMan and Castlevania and God of War. Unless I am missing something.

 

[rsn8887]

Maybe m4xw already got around to applying the improvements from standalone also to the core. I remember he mentioned plans like that on Patreon. @m4xw is this true?

I personally use RetroArch as I've had issues with the standalone app, mostly audio related.

Cool!

I just made a new commit that hopefully removes the confusion around the issue by simply changing the default analog joystick mappings to blank ("---").

Once the new nightly hits, just delete your old core options to get the new defaults. Or reset them by hand by pressing start on each core option.

Then set "quickmenu->controls->Analog to Digital" to "Left Joystick" and it should hopefully work as intended.

Brilliant. Just tried the update and C64 on the Switch is a joy now

Anyone els having problems adding arcade / mame roms (using 1.7.7 nightly build).
i just installed nes ,snes and genesis roms by scanning the directory and they all up and work!
Only mame / arcade games won't show up after scanning a folder.

1. I downloaded no-intro roms
2. Also downloaded arcade / (fb alpha) , mame 2003 and finalburn Neo cores through the online core updater
3. updated core update files.
4. updated databases through the online updater
5. updated the assets through the online updater

Audren_thread has been crashing me when I go to the menu. Audren seems to work better than switch though, don't hear any pops, so I'll go with that for now.

does anyone know how to use cheats for snes cores on this?

Does anyone have any recommendations on making GBC games look more appealing?

Play GBA games instead.

Dragon Warrior Monster's 2 isn't on GBA

Try the latest nightlies.
I reported this same issue some days ago, and they have been solved with a commit from August 15th I think. So the latest nightlies should work find with Audren.
