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.



i wants it

R4 is finally ready! This release comes with a number of changes and improvements including:
- Re-based to RetroArch v1.8.8
- All cores updated to their latest version
- Converted most cores to OOSDK (Some cores require libc++ which isn't quite ready yet with OOSDK. Cores that did require it were built using the older SDK)
- Flycast is now dynarec enabled
- Mupen64Plus and Parallel64 now include Angrylion plugin which should be used for best performance
- Fixed sound stuttering issue (May not be completely gone but should be less of it)
- More reserved memory (2.6 GB up from 700MB)
- Fixed cores installer to create the needed directories so it doesn't hang (Before it was required to run RetroArch first)

New Cores in R4:
- PPSSPP (PSP)
- PrBoom (Doom)
- TyrQuake (Quake)
- vitaQuake 2 (Quake 2)
- Mr.Boom (Bomberman)
- MAME 2010 (Arcade)
- MAME 2015 (Arcade)
- Atari800 (Atari 5200)
- ProSystem (Atari 7800)
- Handy (Atari Lynx)
- Hatari (Atari ST/STE/TT/Falcon)
- VICE x128,x64,xcbm2,xpet,xplus4,xvic (Commodore)
- DOSBox SVN (DOS)
- SquirrelJME (Jave ME)
- blueMSX (MSX)
- VBA-M (Game Boy Advance)
- Mesen (NES)
- Mesen-S (SNES)
- Nestopia (NES)
- Beetle Saturn (Sega Saturn)
- Opera (3DO)
- VeMUlator (Dreamcast VMU emu)

Thank you OsirisX, great release.

I have tried FlyCast and dynarec has improved performance a lot, it even goes too fast now. Unfortunately it breaks most graphics on the games I have tested (Alien Front Online, for example).

@stranno

Thanks for testing! Can you try running with "Sync to Exact Content Framerate" option enabled?

To get to it, go to Settings -> Video -> Synchronization

Hope that helps!

Yes. I already tried that option and, while it locks the framerate, it still goes too fast ingame. I'm using a Playstation 4 Pro btw.

Sync to Exact Content hurts the performance a lot, for some reason. Dreamcast can reach 110+ FPS, activating that option framerate falls to 40-50 FPS, instead of 60.

curious but do you have boost mode enabled in the pro settings? im pretty sure i found it was better on a core (cant remember which. may have even been the xmb menu) when it was disabled. also have you tried mupen?

    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."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
