Homebrew RELEASE melonDS for Switch — continuation

[EduAAA]

You can download here the latest melonds core for Switch versión of Retroarch, haven't tried the switch version, but if it is the same as the android one, it should have Jit enabled + more settings available than the built in core updater:
https://git.libretro.com/libretro/melonDS/-/jobs/40613/artifacts/download?file_type=archive
Just download it, unzip it, and there you have the core, (well, there is a .elf and .nro)

Are you using the standalone or the retroarch core?
Also, are you using full ram or applet?

When you go to hbl, are you holding R and launching a game or going to album

Album

Album

Thats probably your issue, most homebrews now need full ram access. Hold R while launching a game, it'll bring you to hbl but you'll have full ram

ok I take back what I said. The games crash when I run them and no error code this time

Either update SXOS or disable Fast Memory.

Is there any difference between retroarch core performance and standalone emulator?

I realise I'm probably being dumb here but how do I get into settings in melonDS?
Mostly trying to control speed settings, is this possible? I haven't found a way to do it so far - cheers

melonDS for Linux ARM just released. Can try it on L4T Ubuntu 3.2.0 may get better performance too

it won't because it's build from upstream where a lot of optimisations I made for this port are still missing (though the JIT is already there).

On the topic of the libretro core on Switch used to be based off my Switch port, it wasn't updated for my last release. I don't know what the current situation with their new build bot is. Either you're getting the same melonDS core as all other platforms, so latest but with less optimisations based on upstream or you might still get an older release of the more optimised Switch port.

Plus there won't be any difference in software renderer, although I may be a bit faster with the OpenGL renderer.

OpenGL renderer is only really good for enhancements and in my experience it performs worse at 1x than the sw rasteriser.

I meant with the linux build, unless you mean it is slower on any platform.

it probably is on all platforms. Delegating work to the gpu isn't free, there's a certain base cost associated with it, as it requires converting all the data into the appropriate format, sending them over, … For the same reason games sometimes have software renderers as well to determine what objects occlude other objects so that the gpu doesn't have to do unecessary calculations. That's of course only true as long as we only render at meager 256*192 pixels, if we go beyond that the software renderer scales terribly while the gpu which is specifically build to do this task starts to shine.
