Homebrew Retroarch Emulation Thread (Nightly Builds Included)

[matt!]

On that note, any way to get certain MAME titles to not be rotated and flipped, such as Blades of Steel and Ms. Pac Man?

How good is GBA emulation through retroarch?

Pretty good, though varies by game. Best played on N3DS.

You also have VC injection as an option.

typically gpsp is the way to go in terms of gba emulation. it is very game dependent on what runs full speed and what doesn't (more on O3ds), and random crashes have been an issue. If the game is crashing, just use a VC inject or install a .cia of the gba game from the iso site. On N3ds, almost everything is at full speed.

I have a problem with loading games from the history menu.
Every game crashes retroarch. (1.4.1)
what could that be?

It's garbage, don't even bother until the dynarec bug that causes random crashing in gpSP is fixed. Just use VC injections.

OR he could just use 1.3.6 for gpSP, I have never had it crash on me

1.3.6 has crashed plenty of times on me, but some games are more prone to it than others.

The good news is it's not flipped. The bad news is it's still rotated.

its more 'game-dependent'. never had a crash with pokemon games like emerald (the main ones)

Hi,

I found that there's no mgba core in the builds now. Any chances we can get it back?

Cheers,

what for? gpsp runs much faster than it, but it crashes. There is the homebrew mgba, which you should be able to use, too.

I was told the latest mgab is better than gpsp in terms of performance, is that true?

depends on console and game. Some games run better on one than the other, and gpsp has been known to crash on certain games. It might be a N3ds thing, but last time I tried, mgba still wouldn't come close to the framerate gpsp would give me for pokemon emerald. (on my O3ds)

Thank you very much, I'm using O3ds for emualtions, so I will install gpsp then.

That would be alot of icons, since you just have to copy the 'retroarch' folder, and then install the .cia files for the cores you want to use. those icons are the ones which appear on the home screen.

ok. VC injects/pre-compiled CIAs or gba games would be your other option if you are having issues with gpsp crashing

I'm on 11.3 and cfw

boop. https://buildbot.libretro.com/stable/1.4.1/nintendo/3ds/RetroArch_cia.7z install all of these cias. Or just the emulators you're interested in. On o3ds, snes, gba, and ps1 wont work pretty much at all though.

 

[Max128]

Hi, i need a little advice .. First thanks for this work! i use retroarch on my NEW 3ds xl and my wii u. I have a dstwo flashcard and a gateway 3ds flashcard.. I use retroarch for : nes , snes , gb and gba.. I use the .cia version 1.4.1 stable is work pretty great on the games i have. ( i have a9lh with luma )

Would you recommend me to replacing my dstwo card by retroarch? if not why ?

Thanks a lot.
The GBA VC don't have state save, right?
