[vKy]

multi controller support, thats cool. One feature which i was looking forward for.
Thanks a ton !!!!!

Finally RetroArch can be played with 2 players.
been waiting for this for long.
also i can now apply shaders which makes those old 2D gamesl ook great.
the only downside is PSX games do not run anymore with R3,
PSX ReArmed used to work my psx games in R2.
now neither PSX ReArmed nor the new core BeetlePSX run my psx games.
i get a PS4 error when i used PSX Rearmed.
as for Beetle i get a message saying scph1001.bin is missing.
any adivces on how to deal with that ?!!

Just place PS1 bios files inside retroarch/system folder. This works for me with PCSX Rearmed core.

My comment is there is slowness in overall performance, even genesis roms with genesis plus gx core lagging and when navigating roms list. I've PS4 PRO with HEN 2.1.2.

Edit: i tried to turn off boost mode and surprisingly genesis games worked better.

Hi - does anybody know how to get acces to the mame dip swicth menue in mame 2003 ?
(for some reasons I need to start some roms with mame 2003 - not 2003 plus)
I know the "long way" to game menu and settings, and I know the button for mame 2003 plus (L3),
but I don´t know the button for mame 2003 - L3 doesn´t work for mame 2003.
thx in advance

@OsirisX 1.8.6 out now: https://retroarch.com/?page=platforms

Hint, hint.

That official PS4 section is still blank

 

[jammybudga777]

sorry am i reading wrong? your saying 1.8.6 is out. i guess not for ps4 though?

There is no official PS4 support yet. The makers have a PS4 on 5.05 but haven’t committed any versions yet. Whereas OsirisX might be able to provide an unofficial port for 5.05

i see. wasnt everyone waiting for homebrew sdk too be able to make an official release?

Afaik they are using bigboss tools and hito SDK... but hopefully that should change with OOSDK

Why it so hard to make retroarch for the PS4? All the other consoles have already official port except on the PS4.

Tools to build.
They’re coming though
Open source tools means no Sony code, means no C&D.

 

[isrmicha]

With the release of OpenOrb tools, this will be revamped?

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

I'm stuck at "installed 0 of 44 cores..."

I've Internet Enabled... i've opened retroarch first... cores directory is configured correctly... any hints?

- Install retroach r3
- Run retroarch, go to second tab, scroll down to the bottom and choose Directory, scroll down to Core and point it to /data/self/retroarch/cores
- Quit retroarch then run core_updater r3
- Install cores as it asks.
- Run retroarch again and all installed cores should appear now.

I installed with internet disabled.

 

[jammybudga777]

is anyone continuing doing anything with retroarch? seems to have gone very quite

 

[OsirisX]

I'm still working on this and hoping to get it converted to OOSDK before I make another release.

You can expect the PSP core in the next one.

Here's sort of a teaser that's based off an older build.
It plays fairly well despite the choppy video. My video recorder is not the best.
