Hacking Ubuntu VM with Pegaswitch Libtransistor and RetroArch PreConfigured

Anyone know what I need to fix here? Trying to build the retroarch.nro for vba next.

Try the new scripts.

I have updated the scripts to use the tips found by untok for building vba-next.
Also since I was trying to build other modules and the scripts are unfinished there will be visible compiler errors.
Added another option to build retroarch.nro using a pre-compiled core when calling ./buildretro.sh but I wasn't successful when I choose modules that I could not compile due to libtransistor missing dependencies on C++ (they are still implementing this), but you can always try.
I have added also comments for the cores that are working (tested by me at this date) so it should be easier.
Not sure when I will have more time to work on this.

Thanks for the tip, and now i get this...

It seems like libtransistor failed to build. Please delete by hand the libtransistor folder just in case and run the new scripts I have posted.

Yes, with vgmoose's build you can use the joycons while attached.

Btw, anybody knows how I can use other cores? I found several compiled cores (f.e. GearBoy) here:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1L5r_OhnMeFK0fE9gQiGIWTEPJTn11l9y

But whenever I rename them to libretro_switch.a and replace the original one with it, I get an error (something along the line, that retroarch_switch.a could not be created). If I rename it to snes9x2010_libretro_switch.a and replace the original one with it, I can create a retroarch_switch.a and can run it, but it still uses the snes core and the Super Mario World Rom (even though I placed a Gameboy-Rom in the FS-Folder). I could need some help.

You can try to run the new scripts and choosing the option 11 on the ./buildretro.sh (this still need to call ./buildenv.sh first). Although, some cores that have C++ dependencies will not work because of missing symbols, I don't have time for define the symbols myself and since libtransistor is working on that its better to wait. Nevertheless, I had success with 4do_libretro_switch.a for example.

Thanks! That works, just ran it on the new hbl and it works!

Happy to hear that, I tried but without success, gave me some kind of error. Maybe I just need to insist. Just to confirm, did you put the final retroarch.nro on the SD card and then launched it through the new hbl or did you do it differently?

The launcher gives me an error occasionally when I try to load the nro, but it should work if you keep trying. I just put it on the sd in the switch folder after I built it and launched it.

Trying to run those files. So in theory if all updated correctly retroarch vgmoose can be recompiled to hbl usage with roms inside.

Thanks. I deleted pretty much all the folders that were associated with libtransistor. Still an error.

Can i use this to run the homebrew launcher by me self?

no this is to build nro files
check the homebrew launcher thread

Hello
i think the file is corrupted, i download it 5 times and when i try to extract , it give me error msg (no files to extract), i try with 3 apps the same msg appear.
can some one check it

 

[notimp]

Install a newer unrar app for the Mac. I can recommend Keka ( http://www.kekaosx.com/en/ ).
The rar format changed quite a bit over the last years, so thats usually where that error originates from.

But then if you have issues with unraring an archive, chances are, that this environment isn't for you.

All current reatroarch builds are able to just load roms from the sdcard, so there currently is no pressing need to compile your own, for most users.

 

[scusa83]

Thanks notimp
its work now

Image is still there google only alerts fake viruses because size of image.
