Homebrew RetroArch Switch

Does this also mean that in-app core updates are functioning again? i.e., updating installed cores within RA itself. Thanks

They should be.
Give it a go.

There's been a HUGE commit down for the melonDS core.
https://github.com/libretro/melonDS/commits/master

I suggest waiting for the next nghtly buildbot entry and give it a test.
Seems like it adds a lot of good stuff

That is for PC, and those changes are related to this bounty:

Switch has its own branch:

There was one commit regarding Switch stuff in master:
https://github.com/libretro/melonDS/commit/9a462bcf62b174f06aa68fe22540e7aa8ffa90f0

Also, I assume other features, like the screen change toggle and other stuff like that, would apply generally to Switch too.

I lost left analog control during N64 gameplay. Here's the weirdest thing: it still works for in-game menus.



I have no idea how this happened. Didn't change any settings. No issue in other cores.

Actually I talked to Mats, the reason why the libnx port is not supported in master is because its NEON renderer is not in upstream yet. So yea, the Switch build will be outdated for a while.

Ah yeah, the JIT stuff is still not pulled, as catlover is still working on it.
But everything else aside from JIT and DSi stuff should be in the current melonDS build.

The Switch build (libretro) is the same as per April 27.

how good is the DS core? does it play games at full speed? any issues at all? Very interested in adding this to my setup if it works good

Smash Remix character select screen doesn’t register analog stick or dpad but works in the menus just fine?

Hello guys!
I just updated retroarch after nearly a month, and now flycast is crashing whenever I attempt to load a gdi or a cdi...
tested the games on PC and they work well, I have the DC bios on my dc folder inside system adn when I check core info, it appears that the location is correct... Im overclocking to 1500, and using title redirect, Im using the latest atmosphere.
Any help is appreciated!

Try resetting RA configs and getting the core from stable release (just to be sure). If your roms work on PC RA, they should be working on switch flycast too. I remember i once had a problem when an NTSC rom failed to load (but it didn't crash afair), but the PAL one worked fine. Asked for help in flycast's discord and got a tip to switch cable type in core settings and it really helped (even tho i'm sure its not your problem here).

Anybody know why the dolphin core hangs for a minute and then starts the game again?

Wrong thread, or perhaps wrong timeline (?

I’m not sure what you mean by that. I’m new to Lakka RA so I have no clue but I’ve been hearing Android is better maybe I should try that instead.

This thread was created for retroarch on horizon , not lakka or android. Both have seperate ones.
Gamecube games are hit and miss on android and lakka. A good lot can reach full speed with the right settings. If your trying to run wii games very few will run well.

It's very good for about half the games in the library in my testing. Anything 3D is hit or miss, I feel like once the other major updates to MelonDS hit the switch core then we will really see fantastic Retroarch DS support on switch. For now the standalone outperforms it.

i think you’re having the same issue as me.

Which version of RA are you running?

Fresh installed latest retroatch this weekend. Flycast now crashes for me.

Question regarding deleting roms.
Instead of deleting entire playlist and starting over, what is the best way to remove roms individually? Can I physically delete a rom from my sd and the playlist on the switch?
