RetroArch Gamecube FBA Split Cores Releases

Last weekend I split FBA core to several mini cores and made more games working on Gamecube. To my surprise, most toaplan games could run full speed on Gamecube; 1945kiii could run flawlessly, too. If you can visit baidu cloud, here are my compiled cores. http://pan.baidu.com/s/1ntmH4LV pass:bsa7

All cores are bases on resource codes dated back to 2014/03/27. You can get my newly compiled cores in “NGC???>FBA>FBA???+ROM”.

That’s great! Would you mind posting a patch (or doing a pull request to the FBA libretro repo on github) for your changes? This would be a nice thing to include in the next release.

Any possibility of splitting MAME cores for similar results on Wii?

I second this!

I’m not a programmer, and I don’t know much about coding. Following is what I did at first. 1.Delete unnecessary drivers in “src/burn/drv/”. 2.Trim down driverlist.h and driverlist-gx.h in “src/dep/generated/”. 3.Compile it. After that, I found a lot of big roms working. However, the dol file was still big because there were many unnecessay files such as CPU and neocdlist remained. After some test, I found another way to better it. Following is what I did later. 1.Copy “svn-current runk\fbacores\cps1” folder to where I want put it to. And following is what I do to this folder. 2.Add drivers to “src/burn/drv/”. 3.Add necessary CPU files to “src/cpu/”. 4.Delete all existing drivers in driverlist.h and add your own drivers. 5.Compile it. In this way, the compiled dol file get much smaller. This looks dumb but it really works. Many games ,especially Taito and DataEast drivers related games, run slow on Gamecube, and many games such as all NMK16 games can not run at all.

Hey, whatever works. Thanks for the instructions. I’ll try to reproduce it on my end :slight_smile:

With deleting unnecessary CPU and snd processors, even CAVE games and Psikyo games can run full speed on Gamecube. However, only 2 games can fit into RAM, they are hotdogst.zip and samuraia.zip.

@Gamecuber

I can log in to the share account and pass the capture test but not download any thing except a 81kb “file”

Can you upload .dol(s) here or somewhere else.

@4k_future I’ve uploaded my dols here: http://www.eurasia.nu/modules.php?op=mo … 5&forum=76

Thanks for going to the effort of uploading but there appears to be no way of creating a new acount at that website.

Their irc #eur channel does not exist anymore to get new user password.

Can the dols be made public at eurasia or posted here or over at gc forever.com? Sorry.

@4k_future @aea I can not access https://freenetproject.org/ at all. Can you PM me your email address and post all splitted cores to https://freenetproject.org/ for other people who can not download them from eurasia.nu?

Gamecuber has kindly posted the cores here, midway the thread.

Thanks Gamecuber,I´m giving it a try.

Wow, I wish it was possible to do this with MAME on the wii.

What a good work and a gift for gamecube users!

Now Toaplan core updates @gc-forever. 2 More games are supported on Gamecube.
