Hacking Emulation RetroArch/Libretro Thread: PS Vita Edition! Nightlies Included

[Mobutu16]

Open retroarch menu, do not go in to quick menu. (If you are in quick menu then press X and then press right for settings menu)
You should see the options for driver/video/audio/input/core etc. Go down to video and then down to rotation. You can rotate the screen till it is correct.

Rotate option has vanished in 1.7.5 version...

How to correct it?

Somebody have tried latest nightly? Gui,for me,don't work. It's only my problem?

 

[FmT]

Pretty every nightly since 1.7.5 have this problem. Only rgui is working... and PSTV problem is not fixed.

Thankfully I still have 2018-10-02 Build that still works. 2018-10-08 Crashes when you try to run it, and yeah, Current Builds only have the rgui Menu working

Hi everybody,

Do you know if improvements are planned on retroarch cores for Vita ? I think to VBA Next, Picodrive (to play 32x games), BlueMSX for Colecovision,...

Thanx

^^ +1
I too would like to see BlueMSX. I'd love to play Comic Bakery on PSTV. 32X would be an awesome addition to Pico as well. Fusion core maybe?

 

[Smoker1]

Are the Vita Builds working again? By working I mean - Not Crashing when trying to run the App/Emu, XMB working and not being stuck on rgui

32X is working great on after burner, doom or knuckles... mortal kombat is not showing sprites and virtua racing is not working. Is there any good gem on 32X ?

Nightly is working again on Vita/PSTV

Has anyone tried compiling the n64 core for the vita?

Would love it if it could be done. Shame there has not been any word on a N64 Core/Emu. Me personally, I think it can be done.

It looks like the core can be built, but who knows if it will actually work

There's no standard set for hardware acceleration with Vita Libretro, so currently the possibility of this happening is somewhere between shit and fuckall.

Probably with low-accuracy plugins or something, at the best. I'm frankly tired of hearing about N64 everywhere anyways.

Well we were only wondering due to both Mupen64 Github Pages having "psp2....". In theory, it could be possible since the Vita has more recent Hardware. The PSP's CPU is from 1991. The Vita has ARM yes, but so do a lot of other Devices like Android. Plus, which hardware would be more to work with - the Vita or the GPD XD?

Googled "GPD XD Specs" and the first result says that (at least the plus version), has a quad core processor running at 2.1 GHz, while the Vita's is downclocked from 2 GHz to a 500 MHz maximum.

DOSbox core key mapping is under quick menu | Controls
Set 'user 1 device type' to 'keyboard + mouse' in that section then scroll down to map vita buttons to keys.
