wertz works in 64 bits ?
Latest nightlies wonât launch, they say libass-9.dll is missing.
download the new redist package from the buildbot and then copy all of those dlls into your RetroArch directory, overwriting any conflicts.

Are there any tests in input lag comparing the new direct input driver with other ones? Iâm using xinput and would like to know if it worth it trying out dinput.
testing done with MAME over at the arcadecontrols forum suggests that raw input is slightly faster than dinput/xinput for joysticks/gamepads but not for keyboards, FWIW.
So what is recommended between xinput, dinput, raw input? I think modern PC games uses xinput, is that right? What is your personal preference for input?
Honestly, any of them are fine and itâs likely one of the smaller sources of latency in a given personâs setup. However, if youâre super-worried about latency and youâve already done all of the big things (exclusive fullscreen, hard GPU sync, frame delay), raw input might snag you a few more milliseconds.
OK Hunter, thatâs good to know, Iâm not a input-lag nut, just wanted to have more info and try to figure out if the difference was something I should worry about.
Plase tell me how remap left n64 analog stick for keyboard keys? I try in retroarch cfg but still canât get this work.
go to settings > input > p1 input binds > and map left analog x +/- and y +/- to the desired keys.
I have a pretty good reason why dropping .cg shaders is not entirely in the best interest of RetroArchâs cross platformability. Unlike HLSL and GLSL, .cg shaders are more crossp-latform friendly. Where HLSL is now only used for Direct X 10 (the XBox360 version) and GLSL is only usable for OpenGLâŚcg Shaders are compatible with both.
GLSL shaders are a pain to cutsomize and write because each GLSL shader file has to be rewritten for each subsequent revision of OpenGL to work. This means that GLSL shaders written specifically for OpenGL 4.5 might not work properly for graphics chipsets that support OpenGL 3.5. They also almost always require a rewrite for each version of OpenGL a user wishes to utilize in their cores. They are constantly needing to be updated and probably would not suit the pace at which Retroarch releases stable updates.
HLSL is proprietary and only works exclusively for devices that use DirectXâŚand is not at all cross-platform outside of Microsoftâs own devices.
CG shaders, on the other hand, are a lot easier to deal with when it comes to cross-platform capability. They are often a lot more stable and can be used by both OpenGL (no rewrite needed) and DirectX. CG shaderâs are not proprietary to any single platform. All a programmer needs to do is compile a dynamic link library for them to work in Windows.
Thatâs why we standardized on them in the first place, but Cg is dead. Nvidia killed it. They even took down their reference docs a couple of months ago, so I wouldnât be surprised if they stopped hosting the toolkit soon, too. Even Unity switched to straight HLSL with version 4.0.
Re: consistency vs GLSL, we had a lot of issues with Cg providing different profiles on non-Nvidia hardware. GLSL is indeed a hassle and a half to make backward-compatible, but I think I have a pretty good handle on it, using some compatibility macros.
Cg was/is just as proprietary as HLSL, with all of the liabilities that come with that, as weâre seeing now. The only way Cg works with OpenGL is through their cgc compiler, which will certainly be killed off at the same time as the rest of the toolkit. We asked them to open source it and they declined, citing âtrade secretsâ.
Hi. iâm trying to run retroarch 1.6.3 on windows xp, through the new windows xp installer, and when i try to run retroarch.exe crash and throw errorâŚ
Same unfortunately, something about wrong parameter.
If I use manifest file provided in this thread (manifest must be named same as your retroarch.exe just with manifest at the end) I actually works but I feel that is more of a workaround that can introduce some errors down the way.
Also, I get crash whenever I try to load shaders with cgp extension.
Thanks !!! Its works fine, unfortunately very few cores are ported to win xp version⌠Regards, and sorry for my bad english.
um im new to the fourms but i went to switch user interface themes and now i have tiny text in the top left and no interface please help
Still absolutely useless on Windows Devices. It is still not possible to add Content with Directory Scan. Nobody wants to add thousands of ROMS manually.
Hi- I have dual monitor set up, I run RetroArch in fullscreen Window Mode
when i move the mouse over to my other monitor and click it pauses retroarch, any setting to basically not pause it when clicking outside the screen?
settings > user interface > Donât run in the background OFF
You may need to set âshow advanced settingsâ to ON in that same menu first if that option isnât immediately visible.

Thank you Hunter. Works perfectly
