Homebrew RetroArch Switch

don't use beetle psx, use rearmed, beetle is wip and unstable, you can't even get properly inside RA

Thanks for answering. I''ll stick with reamed until they fix it. Beetle PSX is actually better. Some games that have visual glitches with reamed have no problem whatsoever with Beetle.

Is it just me or is the PPSSPP core broken since about a month?

I tried some recent nightlies and all PSP games crash now on load, it's not a game specific issue.
Using my previous core from 11/03/2020 the games work fine.

Every game loads and works fine on latest nightly for me (PPSSPP 1.8.6 b475e73)

have there been improvements to N64 emulation, specifically for 2D games? (Ogre Battle 64, Paper Mario)

last time I checked retroarch was 6 months ago and those games did not run well

Mine crashes when trying to load a save too.
Starting a new game is no problem. Also I can't actually see what save file I am selecting, so I just use the first one.

I'd also appreciate it if someone can send me the last working build of PCSX rearmed. Thanks

Can't see what save file you are selecting = missing assets. In retorarch try the download assets option in online updater. You might have to download something from somewhere else, can't recall.

every once in a while, deleting the config files fixes a broken emulator like ppsspp

 

[Geridious4]

could someone test Pokemon stadium 2 for me? I get constant stuttering in it as well as other games, can't seem to find any fix at all after numerous threads. thanks

PCSX Rearmed doesn't work anymore for me too. I tried to go back some builds, the error change, but still don't work. Do I have to downgrande entire retroarch?

Have you tried deleting your retroarch.cfg file?

yes

 

[ShadowOne333]

yes

Then the core is borked most likely.
Grab the 1.8.5 stable one for Rearmed.

I think ECWolf, PCSX Rearmed and VitaQuake2 are borked currently on Switch.

Glad you got a workaround for it.
I really hope ECWolf, PCSX Rearmed and VitaQuake2 get fixed for the Switch.
I've been holding off on a Wolfenstein 3D playthrough for when I can play it on it haha

Even ECWolf?

No idea I don't play that.

I do have another issue PPSSPP load save states seem to be broken. Again latest everything. I do title override it doesn't matter. I can make a save state but as soon as i load it = crash.

Sometimes it also crashes on saving depending on the game. I've actually had this issue for months on different versions of PPSSPP Retroarch and Retroarch.

I nearly lost my mind over the PPSSPP crashing issue yesterday. But now I finally got it working.

Maybe my problem is different from what others here experience, but as I said, an older version of the core from a month ago still worked for me. So what I did was loading my PSP games with the old core file, setting up the game config for each game I have and saving it.

Today I downloaded the newest nightly and all games work. To make sure that the missing config files were definitely the issue I deleted one of the game config files again and yep, the game crashes on boot.

I can finally play GTA LCS again, it runs quite well on Switch with max overclock and looks better than it did on PSP. Set "Auto Frameskip" to "ON", leave the other frameskip settings at "0", set the resolution to "960x544", and set "Disable slower effects (Speedhack) to "ON".

Spoiler

The current PPSSPP core is 244a601, downloaded today.
