3DS Nightly Discussion Thread

Hi everyone, in Dos Emulator How do I charge games? I have several but do not read them (Dos.3dsx), in .Cia My Old 3DSXL crash , Do I need a specific format for the games to work? @anon24419061

thanks for the support!!:yum:

I’m currently running into the generic “4096 frames” message and then “press start” returns to Homebrew browser. N3DS on most recent system version with Luma3DS. All versions of RA based on 3DSX fail to launch any games, generic “4096 frames” message. All needed firmware is where it should be, as far as I can tell. CIA versions of RA do install and launch games, so there’s that. Very slow RA launch when using the CIAs. I would much rather have the usual RA model of standalone files via the 3DSX versions. Also, I really don’t think the fancy RA GUI is worth the cramped interface. I switched back to the retro checkerboard theme (still same fail to launch content tho). Thanks for all your work :] I hope this gets more intuitive soon!

Hi

Where does a person post to reach actual retroarch 3ds devs? Would be happy to send some money in if it can get this version of RA up to speed. I’m using the 5/25 (cia) build on a N3DS and it has some severe issues still:

-the directory structure has changed quite a bit! it looks like you have replaced the core dummy files with the actual cia cores inside the “retroarch/cores” root dir. so you only need to install the base retroarch cia and then each loaded core will automatically install the needed cia? (which then shows a new gift icon when you exit RA) however, RA really doesn’t make this clear, we’re just looking at the program as it seems frozen (it did freeze on the PCE core in fact). i guess the message in the diagnostics “may take 20 seconds” etc. is somewhat helpful, but it’s still a confusing process. in the end, you end up installing/uninstalling all the cia cores as usual.

-Some cores do not like “close content” = arm exception crash

-Beetle PCE core is slooooow with CD-based games, maybe 40fps? I know this is a better emulator than what I have for the DS, but I can get full speed on that system! I think I have found discussion going back months about there being a problem in the code with FF/slow being toggled on or something? But still no improvement from the last “stable” build. Also has pixel junk overscan and aspect ratio issues.

It’s so close, please help me figure out who to contact! Thank you for all your work :]

Can someone please help…I am new and I have installed retroarch on my new 3DSxl (and of course homebrew).

All of the cores…when loaded…launch to a red bottom screen with no further activity.

Can someone please help me?

Will 1.7.4 bring any performance and stability to the 3ds port? Is there anyone working on it?

Bigger neogeo games crash when earlier versions didn’t. Loading another game in any core while having the core open can crash. Loading any game can crash. Exiting a core and starting another one will crash. pce-fast is slow ~40fps. Genesis plus GX can be slow depending on the game. Also, is there any hope of pcsx running fullspeed?

I can’t add rom folders in the rgui so I have to goto the rom folders manually each time.

I’m using a n3dsxl with unlocked cpu speed via cfw and using .cia versions of the cores.

I’m getting random crashes with the Gpsp core with dynamic re compiler enabled and I have the luma crash logs. where is the best place to post them?

Is there any possibility to use ResidualVM on Retroarch for 3DS?

The Mame 2003 and 2003 + cores still do not work and haven’t in the past few stable releases. Roms do not load, and yes I have fully working correct rom set. Works fine on my android build so it’s definitely and issue with the 3DS version.

I am running RetroArch 1.8.5 on my 3DS and was disappointed to find no verbose log in or a user account for retro achievements.

My understanding is the old 2DS & 3DS models could not support retroachievements due to a networking issue but the new 2DS & 3DS/XLs have this networking capability. Will this forever be an issue or is it possible to enable this function for 3DS?

Thanks!

Hello, can anyone please explain why on an official YoiTube video I must have a PC-like GUI (well, it’s more playstation-like) while I have it another way (please see the

picture )

Thank you!

settings > driver > menu driver from “rgui” to “xmb”. Close RetroArch and then reopen it.

Yo the 3DS has an OpenGL library now. Can we get hardware rendering support like the Vita now? It’s called picaGL. https://github.com/masterfeizz/picaGL

Hey! I’m Robbie. I recently was messing around with the settings on my 3DS RetroArch and set the menu display to null. Now I can’t get into the software at all. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling but that didn’t fix anything. Is there a way to set it back to ctr or crt (whichever the setting was) from outside the menu

Find your retroarch.cfg on your storage and delete the menu_driver line. This should return it to the default value.

Hello, i have installed Retroarch v1.8.6 on my New 2DS XL. How can i update Retroarch to a newer version without losing any savegames?

FBNEO donk works on 3DS. Always black screen or Error and reset. Latest vesrions always stucks on 3ds loading screen. Any ideas ?

Hello,

I’m emulating PSX on New 2DS XL. Im using UNAI renderer and hi-res downscaling. When trying to play TOCA 2 i got screen squished in half like this

Without hi-res downscaling i got full screen but its messy.

How to configure it so it will fill full screen and not be messy ?

Hi guys! I don’t know if this is the right place to mention this, but is any dev thinking about implementing 800px mode in RetroArch? I think it will help a lot when scaling low res consoles, but dunno if you’re planning something regarding that or maybe you’re not even aware of it :stuck_out_tongue:
