Make your changes and then quit Retroarch. It saves the config on exit so if you just turn the power off it won't save anything.
Ancient Aliens: New Nin. 3DS now offers the best SNES emulation on any handheld

how is the audio? Full speed? any cracks/pops? Those are usually dealbreakers for me (like that FF7 video above where the game and audio slows down considerably)
Pretty much flawless on DKC2 and 3.

Thanks for this.
Couldn't do it unti today, (didn't have a screwdiver) but it worked. I scared myself a bit, because the sd card started auto-ejecting by itself.
God, build quality on nintendo hardware sure took a dive in the last years....

Which are the best emulators for each respective platform? Or are the ones bundled with retroarch the current best?

CATSFC or CATSFC Plus for SNES, gpSP for GBA, and the others should be self-apparent. Would want to know which can handle the CD platforms the best (PCE and SCD).

Anyone have problems getting PS1 backups working?
I tried Castlevania SotN and got this error - RetroArch: Does not have enough samples for monitor refresh rate estimation. Requires to run for at least 4096 frames.
EDIT: After some tinkering I figured it out. Unfortunately the game isn't really playable. Very low fps.
I get that 4096 frame error when loading cps2 game,...how do I fix that?

I believe that error indicates a needed bios file is missing/wrong checksum? Bios files go in retroarch>system.

Not sure how in detail I can go due to the rules, but you'll basically have to google 'em.
I hope the RA team ports fMSX and ScummVM next.
I've been using Genesis Plus GX for SCD without complaint. Haven't bothered with Picodrive yet, maybe once 32X gets up to speed.
For PCE there's only Mednafen PCE Fast, but it's nearly flawless.

CPS2 games don't use a bios file. I'd check to make sure the proper FBA romset was being used. I made that mistake with NeoGeo.

Did you rename the rom? It's probably that since CPS2 games don't require the bios. Neo Geo and GBA you will need the bios though (a quick google search will get you what you need).

Download the bios and rename the .bin to bios_CD_U.bin. Put it in the retroarch/cores/system/ folder/
Thanks. I got it running. But I have no CD sound now.
I read I need clean bin/cue files since retroarch won't read the MP3 sound files. But if I convert my existing Iso to a bin/cue that leaves out the audio files which are already separated out files in the version of the Sega CD games I HAVE.
Not sure how to proceed.

Try CATSFC instead of CATSFC Plus. Seems to run better for me.
Honestly, it would probably be easier to just download new roms I would say. The BIN/CUE of Snatcher I tried worked perfectly fine with full audio.
I tried to download Snatcher again but it was in the exact same file format as my current version, with a bin and a lot of mp3s.
Where did you get yours from?
How big is your file size for Snatcher?
Edit: I remembers I still have some Sega Cd games on disc so I just ripped some new files and now I have sound!
Problem now is I'm having a lot of slow down in a few games, Willy Beamish and Terminator CD. What are some optimal settings to help it run better?
In on a N3DS.
THANKS.

use themehax.
what's the process for that?
SweetJohnnyCage

It's in the homebrew launcher. Just run it and then from that point on, hold L while turning on your system and it will bring you directly to the homebrew screen. Just make sure you open up the theme manager before doing it. This creates the directories that the hack writes to. If you open the theme manager after installing the hack, it will uninstall and you'll have to do it again.
cool. I'll give it a shot.
Is the Youtube load generally seen as somewhat unstable?

Nope, but it requires an internet connection. The themehax is more comfortable...

Out of the games I tried only Super metroid clicks for me.
I tried a few snes and gba games. Like most emulators in their infancy it's pretty hit or miss. They are making tremendous progress on this in a short amount of time though. I'll be refreshing this thread everyday hoping to see some major boost in compatibility !

I don't think there is anything you can do yet, apart from wait for nightlies that work better, or when they break the dynamic compiler.
Hitting the home button once will fix it for your current homebrew session.

I think someone in the other thread said there was a memory restriction that prevented bigger cps2 games loading.

Did you do it before closing the lid? If you didn't, sorry, I should've specified that.

Does Super Mario RPG work without hitches yet? Only reason I would play any SNES game for now.

Yeah, i'd rather the E-Shop be filled with every SNES game ever made including JP-only games that can be translated. (Even though the new release of Super Butoden 2 seems to have been hacked to replace the music....but not translate the game. Pour Quoi!)
But I can only dream, such is the way of the all mighty all digital future!

use picodrive ? are you on 3DS or new 3DS?
you can't load bigger roms right now.
MvC works fine for me. check that you have the right (up to date) romset and that you own a new3DS
(which has more RAM)yes, you need a bios scph500x I think.
won't run well right now, kernel access and new3DS helps though. (I did hit 59fps on parasite eve with unsynched sound (45-50 otherwise))
performance is half if you don't have kernel access on your new3DS (fw9.2+ and thus using .3dsx = no dynamic recompilation) performance is again half of that on 3DS.
Ugh, every time I try to load any of the games in Super Mario All-Stars, as soon as I get past the title screen, I'm unable to control the game anymore. The games don't freeze, they just stop accepting inputs.
Is this a known issue with that game or is this something that's wrong on my end?
I just wanna play SMB3

It's an issue with default catsfc. Use blargsnes for this, smas runs flawlessly with that.
Thanks! Will give this a try.

XL because there's a big chance you get an IPS screen which has slightly better image quality. Not much better though when looking straight on tbh but it's a nice bonus.
protomouse

Non-XL: higher DPI (same resolution on a smaller screen), smaller form factor, cover plates, matte finish, SNES-style face buttons.
XL: bigger screen, a chance at the IPS panel lottery, slightly better battery life.
The non-XL is just large enough for me (I have fairly big hands), and the TN panel isn't a deal breaker (because it isn't a bad TN panel). I've seen an IPS XL in person, and it does look nicer (as is to be expected). But, as I said, you need some luck since not all XL units have these screen panels. Thank Nintendo's shitty quality standards for that one.
