I'd recommend searching the
Libretro wiki for answers to which cores need bios's and what they need to be called - once you've got that info, google should help you find them.
They go in the retroarch/cores/system folder on your sd, and yes, it's the same for 3dsx and cia.
THIS.
the libretro wiki should be the 1st link in the op. (and not just link, say that most user based issues are answered there)
also, if it were me I'd update the title with "(read the 1st post before posting)" and early on there : ALWAYS POST YOUR CONFIG : old or new3DS, firmware, 3dsx or cia.
"
CIA is confirmed working on firmware 9.2 and below." you should add "ON EMUNAND ONLY"
"If you're using .3dsx cores, support will only be provided on 2.5 hax or latest." ? (will be a headache with ram related issued if not)
should also state that screen rotating is broken for now (a problem with cps2 and wonderswan games for example)
and that roms with FBA cores might take several minutes to load.
Bios you nee to use for PCSX Rearmed : (straight from
http://wiki.libretro.com/index.php?title=PCSX_ReARMed)
- scph5500.bin (MD5 sum: 8dd7d5296a650fac7319bce665a6a53c)
- scph5501.bin (MD5 sum: 490f666e1afb15b7362b406ed1cea246)
- scph5502.bin (MD5 sum: 32736f17079d0b2b7024407c39bd3050)
PCSX rearmed DOES NOT SUPPORT .iso only bin, cue, img, mdf, pbp, toc, cbn, m3u (should be helpful)
NeoGeo - NeoGeo.zip, Location 3ds/fb_alpha_neo_libretro (with roms)
>>extremely confusing for me, since I don't put my roms in "3ds/fb_alpha_neo_libretro", I would just say "next to your roms"
Sega CD
- bios_CD_E.bin (MegaCD EU BIOS)
- bios_CD_U.bin (SegaCD US BIOS)
- bios_CD_J.bin (MegaCD JP BIOS)
PC Engine
- syscard3.pce (PCE-CD BIOS)
MSX (files are here
https://github.com/libretro/fmsx-libretro/tree/master/fMSX/ROMs)
- MSX2EXT.ROM (MSX2 ExtROM)
- MSX2PEXT.ROM (MSX2+ ExtROM)
and also that cd based system only work with 1:1 images, no external mp3/ape/flac/wav will be supported.
From what I uderstand the gba bios at xxxparadise is not good. you should post the size and md5 of the RIGHT bios or this you come up all the time.
16384 bytes large, md5 : a860e8c0b6d573d191e4ec7db1b1e4f6.
We nee to make a good list about what FBA roms is the biggest that is loadable on :
- o3ds with .3dsx (2.5hax)
- n3ds with .3dsx (2.5hax)
- o3ds with .cias (emunand)
- n3ds with .cias (emunand) :
every cps1/cps2 game loads, neo geo roms too big : metal slug 5, KOF2003, SNK vs Capcom
Expected version of romset should be there in the 1st post too(
v0.2.97.36 I think), and "if it's not working, you probably have a bad rom from the wrong romset"
https://github.com/libretro/libretro-fba/blob/master/gamelist.txt
ONLY CPS1, CPS2 AND NEO GEO SUPPORTED, AS SEPARATE CORES FOR NOW.
I think you changelog link should be this :
https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/commits/
(or maybe even this :
https://github.com/aliaspider?tab=activity which is kinda good/better too for now
)
Anyways, thanks a lot for letting us give some input about the first post, this thread feels a LOT friendlier already ^^
