Homebrew RetroArch Switch

Yeah, it's a libnx issue. But it does affect some cores more than others e.g. flycast.

Hi guys,
I am new here and have a question about retroarch on switch.
I play tony hawk on ps1 core and on the handhelp display it is very crisp and clear resolution. No pixels to be seen.
But on my LG ultraHD tv i see a lot of pixels.
I mean, it is very playable but the handheld screen is 720p, so i think the game should also be without so much pixels on tv?!
Maybe i am wrong, but maybe you know where i can improve resolution for tv output?!
Thanks guys

Just play tony hawk dreamcast version...pcsx-rearmed doesn't support upscaling, you can't make it look better (except maybe for turning on dithering but that doesn't make much difference).

Ok. I’ll try dreamcast version...
Is it the same game?

Ok. But what i can’t understand is why it does look good on switch handheld screen? Any idea

I have a problem with some roms. on the mupen64-next core, the wwf no mercy and wrestlemania 2000 roms when they start the intro screen is half and then goes full however the text are outside of the boxes does someone know how to fix this?

Really? That’s it? I thought there was a problem... but it make’s sense! Thank you

anyway the quality of a dreamcast version is WAY better and it runs perfectly

each and every time my core updater fails. the core is downloaded but when it starts to extract it fails.
can somebody hint me to some steps i should follow to figure out what the issue is? thanks!

 

[Strakefou]

Well thank you. Another thing:
When i have an automatic savefile and i close retroarch and next time i want to open the game, the game doesn’t open but i get an error message saying “the game has been closed because there has been an error”!
I have to delete the automatic download file in order that the game starts again. Now i just switched of automated saving from retroarch.

Latest nightly Final Burn Alpha core controls do not work on 9.0.1, all the other cores I tried worked.

Mupen 64 next core is brilliant.

Any way to perma fix the widescreen ratio and perma set a shader?

can't get shaders to work with anything at all.
glslp files gives an error message and saving configuration for shaders gets an error message. glsl files are completely hidden as well, despite being in the retroarch shaders folder on my sd card. im running on the gl video driver, this is so bizarre.

Does Flycast core not support .gdi file types? I tried Metropolis Street Racer and it hangs at the SEGA logo (Yes I have the BIOS files placed in the proper folder)

It should. I've used GDIs in the past and it's been fine, but now I strictly stick with CHDs because you'll usually save at least 200MB on GDIs.

Hmm, that is odd. try complete reinstallation? 1.7.9 folder etc.

Shaders work for me, some cause slowdown, but idk how to make them automatically apply to the mupen next core. I’m sure there is a way.

Can't get the bezels from Bezel Project to work. I've downloaded the Mame pack from the repository, unziped and copied the config and overlay directories to the retroarch folder in my sd card. When i run a game in the Mame 2003-plus or FB Neo cores, it loads the override cfg for the rom and in the onscreen overlay menu it shows that the overlay preset .cfg for the rom is loaded, but the bezel is not showing. I'm using 1.7.9 last nightly. Overlay opacity is at 0.70 and overlay scale is at 1.0. Any thoughts?
