Homebrew RetroArch Switch

[Stremon]

Horizon fw ver?

I use Atmosphere 0.8.3

I use Atmosphere 0.8.3

Horizon version, not atmosphere.

 

[Stremon]

So m4xw, I was right all along, Retroarch does indeed modify the setting file when going inside the audio menu, even without modifying any option.
I compared the retroarch.cfg file before and after just going to the menu, and retroarch changed the audio_rate_control from false to true.
It's an option you can't find inside retroarch I think?
I changed it back to false manually and of course the issue goes away
And comes back whenever I go to the audio menu again.
Do you still think it's not a bug, nor coming from going to the audio menu?

Ok I misread, my Horizon version is 6.2.0

audio_rate_control on is the default setting
It's automatically turned off if AUDIO_RATE_CONTROL_DELTA < 0.0005
That is expected behaviour.
Try switch_thread audio driver

It's obviously not the default settings since it's going back to false whenever I reset the settings to default.
Well unless you go to the audio menu of course

The default control delta I get when resetting is 0.005, not 0.0005, might that be the cause of the issue? Someone forgot a zero for the default value?

Yes switch_thread works fine, but switch audio driver also works fine again after I changed the delta value to 0.0005
So what's the difference between switch and switch_thread driver?

switch_thread is threaded, as the name says.
audio rate control is supposed to be on. I agree tho the default needs to be calculated in the initial configuration, but switch_thread is supposed to be our default driver.
You probably ran into a synchronization problem.
I will figure a solution, but what you described is normal behaviour - right now.
But that means default audio driver selection isn't working as it should.
You should always stick to switch_thread as audio driver

I see, indeed it makes sense
Well I glad we finally got it solved, I can finally fully enjoy retroarch.
Just in case, what are the default drivers recommended (I mean beside audio)?

The only things you should really ensure are set: switch_thread audio driver + video_threaded = on.
There is also a "switch" video driver (non-GL), only real upside of using it is you can have accurate 1:1 parity, pixel wise.

FWIW I had to set switch_thread as the audio driver when i set up a fresh install the other day (latest nightly at the time).

What's the difference between this and lakka.tv?
And what should I use?

Lakka.tv doesn't work from Switch menu only from RCM, but it gives you PSP emulation this doesn't at least yet. But also with Lakka you need bluetooth speakers to get sound. I haven't used Lakka really so there may be more I'm missing but as far as I know it's just PSP emulation other than that use Retroarch.

Mupen64plus-next core works for SX OS or not?

Sadly I dont think it works :-(

 

[EmulateLife]

It does actually, I've been using it for over a month. Only the new Hekate patches don't work but you can still get a lot of games working without that. For SX OS users just hold R while starting any Switch game to get the extra ram.

 

[CrazyRach82]

Give details did you use Mupen64plus-next? That's the core you need to use not Mupen64plus. Also try toggling framebuffer if it's on turn it off if it's off turn it on. You have to restart retroarch from the beginning when you make a change like that as well.

Yes, using Mupen64plus-next. I never manage to get to frame buffer, the game just wont load. Just get an error and then retroarch closes. tried Zelda OOT, Mario kart, Mario 64, all the same so far

 

[JJTapia19]

Love the mgba accelerometer support, but it's mirrored in Wario Ware Twisted. Any way to change this?

I noticed the same. It's there a way to invert the motion on the mgba core?

I already filled out an issue on Github: https://github.com/mgba-emu/mgba/issues/1300

Awesome. I should have checked there first.

Using SX OS? Did you start a game on the Switch menu while holding R? Also use the nsp of Retroarch.

I was using 1.7.5 and the MUPEN-Next core worked fine. I updated to 1.7.6 and it's horrible for me (on SXOS). Someone suggested to try atmosphere and when I try to run it from atmos it crashes RA. Any ideas?
Works horrible on SXOS
Crashes on atmos...weird

sx os is not supported only way to run it correctly is to use the atmos title redirect along with the new hekate beta svc
