Retroarch

 

Retroarch

 

Technically, the emulators contained in Retroarch are standalone emulators, they're just included in the front-end that is Retroarch You could always just install separate cores from the Retroarch package if you want separate icons or something, that's still an option.

 

Retroarch is pretty well but it lacks optimisation as others standalone emu can have (gpsp for psp is one of those very well optimized) . See what i Mean ?

 

(retroarch uses too much processing power by forcing the highest hertz frequency for sound 48khz I believe...............beyond that it forces accuracy in the emulation that is also too much processing power, and you can't tell the difference, if accuracy isn't used.................so its not worth it)

(using the non-retroarch versions of the same emulators, adjusting those options can get you the same relative performance..............but the performance is worse.............rather than recycling everything, they should be reprogramed from the ground up, its no big deal, I uninstalled all the emulators on my vita, it became a big joke after a while)

 

retroarch sucks balls. Standalones used to rule the roost and were optimized to the target platforms untll the one size fits none approach came along and inspired these quick and dirty ports onto any and all potential platforms in the homebrew equivalent of a FIR$T!1!!!!!! post.

 

Thanks you for all contributors to the projects, I think they love to read this kind of shit.
Anyway what did you expect for 444Mhz ?
You can still create standalone emulators yourself. Learn to program and do it. Come sucks balls with us! We have plenty for guys like you. (i'm not affiliate with retroarch team).

See you

 

If your game doesn't play the way it should, just try the next one and beat it, then the next one, then another and so on.

I'll give you a list of the games I beat on the Vita, never expect to beat on the Vita, and it was amazing:

GBC- Super Mario Land 2- 6 Golden Coins
GBC- Link's Awakening
GBC- Shantae
GBC- Wario Land II
Genesis- Contra- Hard Corps
PC Engine- Castlevania- Chi no Rinne
PC Engine- Ginga Fukei Densetsu- Sapphire
NX- Cave Story
SNES- Mario World
SNES- Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
SNES- Mega Man X
SNES- Mega Man X2
SNES- Donkey Kong Country 2
SNES- Gradiuos 3
SNES- U.N. Squadron

I could keep writing and remembering this past year, but I'm at work and I think you already have like... 5 months of beautifull and totally playable games.

 

@Zukov I don't play what I can get running, I play what I want to play and even with your title picks the Vita isn't doing anything that the PSP couldn't already handle hence why I'm so unimpressed with the mediocre implementation of its emulation potential.

@romain337 true, the leecher to coder ratio grows exponentially with each generation thanks to people breeding like rats and allowing games/tv to raise their children but thats another topic. In regards to the scene the one big push idea is great but thats not what is taking place at all, all we're seeing is horrendous crap that might as well have not been ported for all of its effectiveness.

I have actually thought about getting back into coding as well as playing around with exploits and whatnot so who knows, I may just do it all myself.

 

I have PSP, i growth up with it (my fav portable device) but i enjoy old games more on psvita than psp (now i use PSP only for psp games lol).
I finally completed so many SNES and PSX games on RetroArch that i've never done on PSP (many times, on hard stage/situation, you have need savestates that PSP doesn't have)

Sure that, Vita will become more worthy than PSP (in terms of difference; we talked about gaming, but there's no games i've played that actually PSP can't run. I only enjoyed them more on Vita) if will get DS or, at least, N64 emulators/cores. I really wanted to play Super Mario 64 and Majora's Mask on psvita!
