Any Plans of getting Swanstation Core on the iPhone/iPad Versions?

RetroArch Apple devices
#1

I know I asked why it 1st Came out and Told it was Crashing when trying to use it.

So I was wondering IF there any Plans or Thoughts of getting it to work on these Versions of RA or Is it just Impossible to do?

It’s not impossible to do, just the time it takes vs value from having it hasn’t been a good trade.

I have it “compiling” (https://github.com/warmenhoven/swanstation/commit/b4c3361f31ad29109f0f80e16bd90d9324e36fcc) but by doing hacky things that will break the dynarec, and predictably it crashes on startup. Going through and disabling the dynarec might not be impossible but instead I turned my attention to beetle psx hw.

Thanks for Answering @warmenhoven

Beetle PSX HW is a Great Core

Though just tested it using a Hardware Render makes it Crash on Load Up

You have to be using vulkan, and it won’t force vulkan. If you’ve set your video driver to metal it will definitely outright crash. I think OpenGL might limp along for a bit?

Changed to Vulkan in Core Option and worked fine

I had Set driver as Vulkan but in core options was set to Automatic and that crashed
