Basicly all inputs are taking a while to work after loading a rom.
This happens on multiple cores.
There is also bugs related to network like core updates and achievments not working on 1.7.0.
I don't think 1.7.0 is stable on the vita.
Even the "Stable" release.
There are some serious input and network issues on it.
I'm still on 1.6.9 for now.
It would help to specify the cores and games tested that exhibit these problems.
I can't speak for everyone, but my installation with the same configuration I've been using for a while has been lag-free (Tested with SNES9x '10, fMSX, FBA).
There is also bugs related to network like core updates and achievments not working on 1.7.0.
Once again, core updater doesn't even exist, let alone work (Since the packages are all baked into the installation). Can't speak for Cheevos, but I'll check in with it when I have internet access later today.
No one ever answered my question from a few days ago about if netplay works on retroarch on the Vita. Anyone have any experience and can help me? Thanks.
Sorry to disappoint, but not very many people have two Vitas on 3.6 to test Netplay for me.
And I've tried linking up a RaspPi and Vita together, no dice. General information on netplay provided by Libretro sadly kinda goes in both ways.
May as well take down two birds with one pebble; Yes, this CAN help for cores that have the ability to use hardware rendering (I.E. PCSX-R). HOWEVER, this requires Libretro to add support for VitaGL, AND the requisite core to be updated to take advantage of this.
It's all based essentially off the time to implement such niceties; it can (and probably will?) happen, but needs time. But again, I'm not a Libretro spokesperson here so I don't feel I'm qualified to make such predictions.
As for every other core, well... for the most part, these are all software rendered anyways. You may see the slightest speed boost, but don't expect miracles. This is just how RA cores are developed to begin with as they more or less try to capture CPU-bound accuracy; you'll see better results if said cores are forked into separate Vita-specific projects to take advantage of specialized hardware rendering (I.E. those 3DS SNES emulators outside of RA, same kind of principle).
Awesome, thanks! Has anybody tried the new Vice-64 core?
Is there a usable on-screen keyboard? This might allow multiplayer c64 on PSTV, but I have no time to test it atm.
I tried a few games and they worked. There's still a minimal slowdown (sound skipping) in Master of The Lamps, but much less than on PSP.
Some problems with the core that I found. These are probably not Vita specific:
- On-Screen keyboard cannot be controlled with gamepad
- Two player on VitaTV does not work
- I cannot change disks (for games that require "insert disk two") without restarting the emulated C64
- FastSid engine sound (6581f) sounds a bit wrong. Resid engine sound (6581r) is extremely slow compared to Fastsid. Other ports of Vice (PSP, Windows etc) do not have this enormous slowdown when using the resid engine.
The ones from 02-07 and 02-08 are working, but they are missing a whole bunch of cores (67 MB filesize only),
from then on they are just completely broken..

@frangarcj. Thanks for adding two cores, especially Vice!
I did some more digging on what I said before about the Vice core:
- In the version from 2018-02-06, the on-screen keyboard and onscreen menu control are already fixed. There's now a mouse pointer which can be controlled with gamepad.
- The slow resid engine is a "feature" of vice 3.0 so it happens even on PC, e.g. not a bug.
- The disk change problem was not limited to Vice, but was broken in all cores. It is being worked on now by fr500.
- Two-player support on PSTV seems to still be missing in the Vice core. Using the Nuklear GUI I can enable only Joy1 pr Joy2, not both at the same time.

Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.
@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.
@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
