Homebrew Retroarch Emulation Thread (Nightly Builds Included)

I tried Cruis'n USA for laughs and it actually gets 7 FPS in-game, lol. Totally unplayable, but I'm just surprised it runs at frames per second, and not seconds per frame.

I see the cia builds for MAME and FBA Full are up. Suppose it's just a matter of time before the 3DSx dl is available.

It looks to me like they're already up. Just don't forget to launch these under Monster Hunter or Youtube, they're gigantic.

The 11MB dl link is retrieving a 4.33MB zip, lacking the 2 new cores.

that means it's still on cache, we are fronted by a CDN so you might have to wait a few hours for the cache to expire

Just want to make sure, should o3ds users just avoid mame/fba?

Cool. I thought I had seen this occur before, so I assumed it was just a matter of time.

Try it if you want, but just keep in mind the N3DS struggles with a number of games (and you'll probably run into RAM issues quickly).

Mortal Kombat have any Issues or Simpsons?

MK 1 runs at like 20 FPS, so it's pretty slow.

 

[pdapanda]

I got the 3dsx version

The Simpsons ran at 40-odd fps, but with vid/audio sync turned off it seemed to play at full speed.

Well, it is a step forward. Huge progress with the N3DS in testing the limits. Hate to sound like a broken record, but who knows. If Mupen can get figured out, at some point later on maybe next Year, N3DS can have a N64 addition.
The Latest Releases show 10-11 MB in Size, but when Downloaded, only getting the older Smaller File Sizes. So might be a while before it gets caught up

...Okay, fill me on this: What do you MEAN exactly by this? I thought Tubehax was dead and I didn't think MH4 had an exploit...
So is this just not compatible with Ironhax2.5 or something...? And if it is, just run me through the install.

 

[pdapanda]

trying with mame now， 22MB，oh

You basically need to create an XML file to use MAME or FBA full, with that stuff in it, so that the Homebrew Launcher will run it under Youtube or Monster Hunter 4 or Smash Bros. (they're the only things large enough to run MAME or FBA full). Nothing to do with tubehax.

MAME doesn't seem to load CPS3，well

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

The mame core made me to type OK when starting.
What the hell is OK?

So... we're kinda piggybacking off of another program for memory?
That's... interesting.
So, keep this xml and place it on the root of /3ds, or inside the fba/MAME executable directrory?

It's how the Homebrew Launcher works. It uses gspwn to run code. What that means is, if you have an XML file, it'll start the first matching application in there that it finds, and before the app actually runs, the Launcher hijacks it and runs your emulator instead. When you have no XML, it uses the Home Menu for hijacking. The XML is necessary for FBA and MAME because the Home Menu is too small.

So, keep this xml and place it on the root of /3ds, or inside the same directory as retroarch_3ds.3dsx?

It goes in the same folder as your MAME or FBA full 3dsx file, and it needs to be named the same as the folder/directory.
