Yeah, this is the advancement we were waiting on. I guess this will be avaiable in the next nightly? In so far i'm using an unnoficial build and seems promising, but i want to test the official one

from libretro.com:
"Try it out today: the updated core is currently available in the latest nightly versions, and will ship with the next RetroArch release."

Anyone know how to get it to work? constantly getting an ARM11 exception when trying to boot the game. If you need the error dump, let me know.

Wich game are you trying to boot? So far i'm able to play Symphony of the Night and Ridge Racer Type IV

They added CHD support too so try to convert it to that format

Sorry por the double post but got a crash while playing Symphony of the Night, right at the moment Dracula's sprite started to morph in the prologue battle

I wasn't using stock setting though. I set the resolution on Integral scale 1x and disabled bilineal filtering.

What are some games that run in fullspeed? Spyro 2 only gets 20 FPS :( Well, I'll just use my Switch I guess...
I've been able to get spyro 2 Eu Pal to play at 50fps with the right settings:
Pal bios
Vsync off
Audiosync on
Bilinear filtering off(not sure if necessary)
Lighting off (under advanced settings when running games under options)
Interpolation off
Reverb off (not sure if necessary)
Rom converted to .pbp/.chd from .bin .cue <- Very important step!

Please do test it. I would be interested in seeing how the old 3ds fares. Go for the 2d games so Rayman, Bomberman World, Metal Slug, Rapid Reload etc..

Actually I guess I could test with the n3ds set to 3ds clocks... Hmm...
Apparently not. Retroarch changes back to n3ds clock speeds.
I did just test Parasite Eve and it runs amazingly well. I'd almost think that you could run it on an o3ds with the right settings too.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    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.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @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.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.
