RetroArch 360 releases (v1.0.0.2)

My mistake -somebody on #retroarch already alerted me to this fact. It was basically an ‘old version’ of RetroArch that got accidentally renamed to ‘0.9.9’.

I have since reuploaded the 360 version at ‘the usual places’ - so try again. Should work this time.

Hi ,it works better now with a real v0.9.9 :wink: Thanks for this incredible release !

some remarks :

  • It seems that zip files are not visible when you browse for rom (only uncompressed are visible)
  • When you browse, back button come back to main menu (Maybe that after redoing the controls of the Xbox 1, make a copy / paste?)
  • launch a rom with the wrong core crash (in a first time a popup message can be cool and fast to code to prevent an error, something like “you’re about to launch an .smc extension with an nxengine core , are you sure ? blablabla”
  • I think there is something stange in “input options”, for example on nestopia, try to inverse A and B buttons : you modify A, then you go to B settings and when you try to modify B, A is modified too.

Control input remapping is a big ‘WIP’ and hopefully we can fix that issue once and for all on all platforms with 0.9.9.1. We just need a decent standardized way of doing it.

‘The popup thing’ would be nagging but I guess with an optional ‘turn off nag message’ it could be tolerable.

I know about the Back button in the browser going back to main menu - this is how it’s currently programmed until I find a better way to do it. The menu code for 360 is totally different from RMenu/RGUI because I use MS’ XUI GUI system on 360.

Regarding ‘zips’ not showing up - I hadn’t thought about that when we removed the ‘zip’ extension from the cores’ allowed extensions lists - what I should do instead is forcibly add ‘zip’ as an allowable extension inside RMenu XUI. I will ram that through for 0.9.9.1 - thanks for catching that.

What about PCSX ReARMed support in xbox360 version? Available this?

Of course not, it would be useless on 360.

My dev Falcon 360 broke down today with RROD.

So I guess unfortunately 360 development stops here and now then as far as I’m concerned unless somebody can gift a replacement. I already paid through the nose for one back in 2011 and got a shit box in return that barely lasted 2 years (same with debug PS3) - not going to go through that again.

EDIT: It sucks too because I wanted to add back shader functionality and some more lovely stuff.

Can you get a 360 modded yourself, or would it have to be modded beforehand?

Depends how much hassle and money it is going to be to do the RGH hack - or whatever we need to do to get it modded. I really don’t want to sink a truckload of cash into this thing again and I’m not going to do so either - I already did that once for the community’s sake without so much as even begging for a single donation - not going to do that again.

Really, I just need a hacked 360 so that I can get back to development again. I really don’t want to have to bother with manually installing whatever RGH contraption is needed or having to buy that. If that could be done beforehand - that would be great.

I’m willing to pay for shipping at least - that’s as far as I want to go for the sake of keeping development going. I have not played on this thing since 2011 or so anyway so it’s not like it’s used for my amusement or whatever.

Would probably be a good time to just discontinue the port. The maintenance load is insane enough as-is.

If nobody will be willing to contribute or gift a replacement then I’m afraid I don’t see any other choice.

I’d like to make the 360 port better just for the record so the intent is certainly there - but no way am I going to give even more of my hard-earned cash to these XDK seller guys - they’d just give me the next worn-out warhorse again and it would last for another year before giving up the ghost.

I don’t want to come off as sounding cheap or anything, it’s just my finances are really terrible. I could probably get a new slim model from the store and send it if shipping doesn’t have too many problems, but then paying to also have it modded would hit me pretty hard.

If that new slim model is guaranteed to be exploitable with the RGH hack or some modchip or whatever - then that would definitely be a solution and you can leave the modding alone - I could take on the cost then of having it modded. We just need to be sure that this unit is hackable. I am not really up-to-date with 360s and their jailbreakability status.

Let me know through PM.

Just curious, reading through this thread makes retroarch360 seem close to end of development due to lack of hardware. Are we going to get a 0.9.9.1, at least to support zip and 7zip, fix the lack of ability to set rom path? Hopefully these are minor updates. I’m willing to be a beta tester.

Yes, the development 360 is still dead, and there is still no replacement.

A replacement RGH 360 unit costs 200 Euros over where I live (this is excluding shipping).

If people want to see this port alive again and be greatly expanded, you know what to do - I need either a guy gifting a 360 to me (with RGH) or some other means to eventually obtain the item in question. I have to walk a very strict line between sticking to our no monetary donations pledge AND being able to get a replacement for this thing in a way that I don’t get hit with tax / customs fees and whatnot - so to anyone who is serious and wants to support the project regarding me being out of a development 360 - do PM me.

hi. I have a lot of gba games and i dont known all ,my games just by name. can i take screenshots of my games?? sorry. bad english

sorry if i’m bothering. i’m noob and i really like this emulator. i’m just like to known if is possible taking screenhots of the games.there is a option on emulator called screenshot but doesnt work for me.

Alguem fala portugues por aqui??? Alguém poderia me dar uma mão e perguntar para os gringos se nesse emulador bastardo tem como a gente tirar screenshots dos games pra saber qual tipo de jogo. No mais obrigado a todos. é nóis :slight_smile:

@netokl_emp If I understand what you’re asking: no, RetroArch doesn’t have any way to browse your games by looking at screenshots.

hum…ok. thank you for your answer.

Are you still looking for an xbox 360?
