Game&Watch (gw) is fixed in the latest nightly's.

For this to work you have to replace: 'sd:/retroarch/cores/gw_libretro.core' with the one included with the download.
If you are using my unofficial build, you can skip that and just update.

Neo Geo is suffering from the sound issue that hit your unofficial 1.4.1 build.

And for some reason, Metal Slug 3 has decided to freeze the menu when I pick "Load archive". It wasn't like this before.

I highly doubt the libretro team will accept this as an issue. But you could try to present it on the official git.
I personally have turned up the audio in settings and saved it as a core setting. I will not try to trace down the issue myself. Sorry.

And since XMB seems stable again, XMB with playlists is the way to go.

hello i installed retro arch 1.6.9 stable and loaded the ps1 emulator and it kept crashing before i even loaded a game

Without knowing anything else about your setup, the best advice is to use an older build. 1.3.3 is a stable version of PCSX. I don't know if it's available on the git anymore, but that's where you should check.

Upgrade to the latest nightly build.

Please, stop telling people to downgrade to an ancient version. The days those builds were better are long gone. They aren't available anymore and defenitly not supported.

The latest versions are stable as well. The crashing bug was fixed a few versions ago and the XMB menu was also fixed in nightlies.

I tried cranking up the volume in the latest build: it still sounds better on 1.4.1. I mean, if things worked just fine without changing anything before, why shouldn't they work now? And this goes for loading Metal Slug 3 also. Unfortunately it's stuff that probably won't get fixed soon, as the github stated not to bother with core issues, like you said.

As for XMB and playlists, I have reasons for not using them, even if they do work now.

I just wonder if old release can be downloadable on official site?
Versions older than 1.6.0 are vanished from official download site.

I can play the english translation of F-Zero Climax at full speed 60fps on the latest nightlies, with no graphical bugs or crashes, and no other GBA solution for the 3DS can play it at full speed. You should seriously just update instead of trying to find old version that are no longer supported.

but from my testing, the more recent gpsp, the more crashes.

Greetings to everyone on this thread. I'm hoping to find answers here.
I haven't tried the other emulators, but I've tried running Fuse, and failing at attempting to do so.
So, what I did was copy the Retroarch folder to SD card root, and only Fuse's database and core. Then, I copied over Fuse's 3dsx version on to the 3ds folder.

When I ran Jetpac through Fuse, I got the error below:
RetroArch [INFO] :: Does not have enough samples for monitor refresh rate estimation. Requires to run for at least 4096 frames.

This alien would love to experience this human culture you all seem to enjoy. Please help an intergalactic creature in seeing what you humans have to offer.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
