In the images of the XMB, it shows playlists. How did you get them?
Can anyone re-up? filetrip is dead
I... am sort of confused. Should I use these Retroarch builds, or the official builds? I don't have a New 3DS, don't think I'll be emulating Saturn anytime soon. Just plan on playing some old games, if that.
For ridge racer is it r4 ridge racer type 4 or the original ridge racer?It seems the buildbot failed again last night.
In the meantime, i've been playing around with the build offered above.
Metal Gear Solid is running at a stable 60fps
Crash Bandicoot 2 runs at about 50fps with a lot of slowdowns
GTA runs at 60fps
GTA2 is a bit slower, but still above 50fps
Rayman 60fps
Ridge Racer at 60fps
Moto Racer at 60fps
I have to enable v-sync, else multiple games run way above 60fps.
Some games crash, others seem stable. Some have graphical glitches, most don't.
I haven't tried optimizing settings other than having audio sync disabled.
I'm getting really good results here, in my opinion.

Ive noticed that FFT is playable with these new cores, running at a good 60fps for 95% of the time. Only issue is the text is blurry/broken, and its hard to read some letters in the font. Not sure what the issue could be, might just be the downscaling to the 3ds screen size? I tried disabling all the filters possible and messing with the aspect ratios and no dice.

It makes the loading much faster, and makes some games i've tested before also run at 60fps.
As a reminder: https://www.reddit.com/r/PSP/wiki/psx2psp
This is a simple guide to convert to .pbp
Please, don't thank me. Thank the retroarch team, notaz and Justin Weiss for tracking down the issues.
Edit:
Grand Tourismo .BIN / .CUE - 42fps (before)
Grand Tourismo .PBP - 55fps
Silent Hill mostly 60fps, but with some graphical issues
Castlevania - Symphony of the Night .PBP - 60fps

I imagine that means the bilinear filter too? How about adjusting the width and height?Ive noticed that FFT is playable with these new cores, running at a good 60fps for 95% of the time.

This is what I've found so far:
101 Dalmatians NTSC 50 fps average
Bomberman World 60 fps
Crash Bash 58fps gfx glitches only in pause menu
Hercules 60fps average. The n3ds crashed when I finished the first level. Have to try again to see what happened
Spyro the Dragon around 60 fps average 'cept for when breaking dragon statues when it can go down to 39fps
vsync off
Bilinear filtering on
Lowest audio quality
Audio sync on
Frame throttle off
All bios present in system folder under core folder
All games run as .pbp
Even if I set audio quality to lowest the emulator runs the game with 44000khz according to the bottom screen. Is this a bug?
I've found that audio sync costs less frames than both vsync and framethrottling, separately.
When using analog pad on spyro the buttons seem to get swapped around. R1 is mapped to triangle etc..
When I made a save state in Hercules ans Crash Bash the framerate crippled to 40-50fps and stayed like that until I went and manually deleted the save state from the retroarch folder.

Ah right. I completely forgot that you have to set audio driver to null if you wanted to get a benefit from disabling audio emulation. Good to knowI play with audio off regardless. I changed the audio driver to null and turned VSync on. Everything I’ve tried besides Doom runs extremely well. Doom runs great but is missing some walls. I have very minimal slowdown on Final Fantasy, Crash, Gran Turismo, Croc, Tomb Raider etc. most of these games will run at 80+ fps without VSync. Hopefully the minor video bugs get ironed out but I’m gonna really enjoy this already.
