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.

    @SylverReZ, you played that Mario flash game called Mario 63?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No, but I've seen it on Vinesauce's stream.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, that game is one of the reasons i met newgrounds bc the full versión of it is in that site
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Also somebody is remaking it

    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark

    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

    @SylverReZ, also the pico 2 demos used to be only for the newgrounds patrons but they are on internet archive too (https://archive.org/download/picos_school_2)

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Iirc the demos were removed from newgrounds in 2022
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, or well only the demo with mindchamber's style was on newgrounds
