please hunterk, talk to squarepusher.

squarepusher, please dont be so bad with us, the poor xbox360 users. I would love to see and use your work on the nvidia shield, android, etc, but i and much others users dont have money to buy these things. They are very expensive here in brazil. i realy hope to see a new version of retroarch 1.0.0.2 working in the old xbox360. I known that you are working hard to make the xbox 360 compatible with the libretro stuff. i already known the xbox limitations, etc,but you can do it. :slight_smile: Hope the best for you man. keep up the good work ^^

You guys will be happy to know that there was a rash of 360 commits a few weeks ago, and Squarepusher just got an old PPC Mac to do some much-needed PPC-specific debugging with, so there have been a lot of recent commits related to that. Still no ETA on the release, but it’s coming.

#73

Will that also help the Wii build? That’s based on PPC right?

#74

Possibly. It depends on what has the problems. If it’s generalized RetroArch stuff, then probably yes.

#75

This is a great news to us hunterk =D Thanks to squarepusher that still working in the xbox360 version, the libretro team and Neville Phillips, the guy who donated the Ibook G4 (I saw this in the libretro twitter ^^) . Thank you guys =D

#76

Love it! Great News

#77

Hello. Have news on the next release? P.S. Sorry for my English

#78

The 360 port will be back for the next release (next week). The menu should now be at feature parity with all other versions (PC, PS3, Wii, etc). Like the Wii and PS3 ports, you should now also be able to bind any of the analog axes or digital buttons to any action.

I’m going to look at porting MAME 0.78 libretro to 360 now as well.

#79

Omg! The whole month is rescued!!

#80

Awesome, it’s good to see the 360 version getting some love :slight_smile: Can’t wait till the release.

#81

thanks for the hard work squarepusher. it’s really appreciated. I read your topic talking abou the return of 360 port. I’ dont understand english very well. I’m known well portuguese^^, but i see that you have been problems to make the shaders work again on xbox360 because of the limited EDRAM of 360. What a pity squarepusher. Even using the linear filter, the image doesnt appear very well. It seems that washed the image :frowning: The shaders helps a lot the HDTV users. I really hope that you find a way to make it work, using some kind of hack or even vodoo^^ lol, to make the shaders work again. 2 shaders will be amazing, like the old 0.9.9 version. sorry if i’m bothering you. Please dont be angry. It’s just a opinion of a guy that really like your work. Thanks again :slight_smile:

#82

2-pass shaders were a bad hack that limited the game frame to 512x512 - we can’t do that since some cores will exceed that resolution.

I will bring back 1-pass shaders instead. If the 360 had more RAM to play with for rendertargets(like PS3 does), you could have done up to 8 shader passes with 2 to 5x FBO scale - but unfortunately MS stupidly limited devs in this regard (just like they’re doing now with Xbox One).

#83

Hi squarepusher, thanks for the answer I see, but dont worry, 1-pass shader it will be great. shaders like ddt and xbr gives a nice and sweet improvements on image.

Just one more question squarepusher. You said that some resolutions like scummVM (640x480) can exceed the the resolution of the hack you made to work 2 shaders on a limited 512x512 resolution. Is there a way to you make a option or configuration on retroarch 360 like" Enable 2-pass shaders hack" on systems that use lower resolutions like gba, snes, genesis, gbc, etc and the retroarch automatically disable the hack when you chose cores with bigger resolutions like scummVM???

again, thanks for the work :slight_smile: and sorry for my english :frowning:

#84

Hi squarepusher. Thanks for updating Retroarch for x360. But this release 1.0.0.2 not working for me. In menu(Core, Load Content, Core Options), when i press button “A” on any item nothing happens. All buttons not working, except “B”, when i press “B” i go to Core select meu, but i can’t select any core. Can,t load any game, because joystick buttons actually do not work. Old version 0.9.8 - works perfectly.

#85

Yeah dont work for me too i tried mame …but dont know if my rom if fault

#86

Make sure you have the 078 ROMset. It won’t work with current ROMs.

Have you tried any of the other cores to see if they work for you?

#87

I was very excited about this version, but i’m sorry, i’m going back to 0.9.8, in this version i wasn’t able to load any shader, everything looks too clear for me (it doesn’t have brightness, like PS one emu), menu sometimes don’t work, i don’t like B for selecting, menu is laggy, some options ask for text input but there’s no way to write or exit from it, after trying to load a shader i saved config and now i’m not abble to see anything in screen, just black, etc, etc

I think this version has some important core changes, but i guess it should be polished

#88

This is how RGUi has always worked. You change core options by pressing left or right - some core options will effect upon restart, others will take effect immediately after going back to the game.

Can,t load any game, because joystick buttons actually do not work. Old version 0.9.8 - works perfectly.

You’re doing something wrong then because it actually does work. Maybe reinstall it and delete all your old config files.

#89

I said in the blog post that shaders won’t work yet.

everything looks too clear for me (it doesn’t have brightness, like PS one emu),

It does actually. Go to Settings - > Video Options, change Gamma and restart.

menu sometimes don’t work,

The menu is sitll rough around the edges but overall it is a lot better than it was before

i don’t like B for selecting,

There may be an option for switching between A/B.

menu is laggy,

XUI is now just a thin wrapper around RGUI. I do this because this way I don’t have to duplicate all settings for a totally different menu. The advantages far outweigh the negatives.

With time it will get a bit smoother and better. I think right now it’s not as bad as you’re making it out to be. And it’s certainly far more complete than the old version.

some options ask for text input but there’s no way to write or exit from it,

I already explained in the blog post that OSK keyboard is not yet in.

after trying to load a shader i saved config and now i’m not abble to see anything in screen, just black, etc, etc

You shouldn’t use the Shader Options at all in this release. This also I explained before in my blog post.

First of all thank you! i am going to write things down that may sound mean …but they aren’t! please dont get me wrong i like your work!! and i am beyond thankfull for what you do to the xbox scene! soooo…here we go

…does MAME really work?..i mean like …no blackscreen?

and the menu …wow…it’s Bad, i dont understand it, i am a noob when it comes to retro arch (confession lol)

it looks like this for me

core

core blah

blah blah core

core core blah blah

blah core blah

quit

i really just want to play MAME, where am i !!!

JK …BUT …it really is confusing, i dont recall being so lost at 0.98…cant you simplify it?

like choose your core …choose your ROM …play!

Now it is like Press on core blah blub …choosee ROM Choose Core Blackscreen haha

there is the 80% Chance that i am fault at all of this …but could you consider that for next release.

again thx
