I was not even really involved in programming until around half a decade later. I had a chance meeting with Themaister around when Near was trying to see if bsnes could run acceptably well on a PlayStation3. This was my first introduction to Near back then as a non-user and to me this meant a lot. We pretty much got stuck at the 50fps mark, but what that chance occurrence did show me was the massive potential of libsnes as an emulation abstraction layer and how easily software could be ported across platforms so effortlessly without having to maintain multiple copies of a codebase per platform.
And one thing lead to another. Where there was in only one emulator implemented as a core bsnes , now there is nearly implementations, and not all of them even emulators. But Near absolutely deserves the credit for coming up with the foundational pillar on which this all stands. Thankfully in we were able to shake hands and leave the past for what it was. There were hurt feelings, disgruntlement and disillusion on both sides about the emulation scene, the way it was becoming more commercialized and co-opted by commercial interests [from private correspondences I can confirm this bothered Near deeply too], the sides people took in that while it was happening, and people getting in the middle trying to amplify those grievances and wounds.
I apologized then, but I will also apologize in the present for how things went before. Ultimately the last thing I wanted was for there to have been a falling out. I tried reaching out many times before trying to squash this situation since ultimately I regretted that it had come to this and felt it should not be like this.
Ultimately without a mediator I was getting nowhere with this. In , thankfully all of this we were able to put aside forever thanks to the help of a mediator, and both sides assumed good faith from that point forward. I was hugely relieved by this and took this very seriously on my side.
I was committed from this point on to show that not only was there always appreciation and respect, but even more importantly, I wanted to show this not in words, but by action. Since then, I worked together with Near on many occasions. This includes involving them in a Eurogamer article about emulation licensing and helping them with license abuses from third parties.
Additionally contributors upstreamed libretro support into bsnes in sparking various collaborations and friendly terms. Another example is the libretro-backed Parallel RDP project where we encouraged themaister to help integrate it into the N64 emulation in ares for accurate graphics emulation. I am grateful and thankful we were able to do all these things together. To date, my biggest regret is that we had that unfortunate initial falling out in late But, I am grateful to Near that there was the willingness to leave the past behind in and start over again.
Ultimately, it could have all been so easily avoided and the things that divided us were ultimately so minuscule as to not even matter. And projects like hiro, libco, and libsnes definitely show that raw genius that was in Near. I would be remiss not to point out another great invention, libco. And libsnes needs no introduction, it morphed into libretro and has largely stayed fundamentally the same. But Near also had spent nearly a decade or more on a translation of the videogame Bahamut Lagoon, which they considered their magnum opus.
This was a painstaking work of passion with the kind of attention to detail few other localizations can boast. Near actually started this translation before even creating bsnes itself, as the Bahamut Lagoon translation was the catalyst for bsnes to emerge as a project. Current SNES emulators at the time had a lot of issues that were difficult to work around, with Near preferring a more clean approach without resorting to all the hacks. Everyone with an appreciation for the Super Nintendo yes, even Nintendo themselves owes a huge amount of debt to Near for doing the near impossible in documenting and preserving this system and its back catalogue for all of posterity.
It is very rare that you see someone with such selfless commitment dedicating themselves towards fully preserving a system. Near was a very kind and sweet person, who cared for others. They were very talented and was amazing at what they did. I hope that they have found peace. We have the next version of RetroArch v1. You can always view our roadmap for Lakka and RetroArch here. Specifically this fixes a bunch of regressions in the Vita port which unfortunately snuck into the initial 1.
There are no real changes for other platforms. Read it here. Just like in version 1. In the process, we have discovered some parts where RetroArch was being inefficient when loading files from compressed files such as.
In the past, it would extract this file first to a temporary directory on the disk, and then it would read from this file and load it into the RAM buffer. Now we load it into the RAM buffer directly from the compressed file without first extracting it to disk. As of 1. Thanks to a new and improved toolchain for PS2, this runs at a very impressive framerate, targeting 60 frames per second with stock settings.
This is incorrect behaviour. If a core does not explicitly need to load a file from disk via some internal mechanism, the frontend should merely provide it with a data buffer. RetroArch was doing this, but in absurd fashion, i. Previously, it was in fact impossible to load content inside zip files directly into RAM. This has now also been resolved. The end result? This fixes a number of CDVD timing issues, e. Fixes the FMVs in Shox. The DuckStation core is back! This is the upstream version authored by Stenzek.
DuckStation is a PlayStation1 emulator core. This is a fork of DuckStation maintained by others. It is based on slightly older code. Libretro is not directly involved in this as an entity. SwanStation is a PlayStation1 emulator core. Update policy for this core Up to the authors of this core, Libretro does not have an official policy on this core. This update rewrites the mapper emulation accordingly and adds all affected ROM images knownst to me to the ines-correct.
I made sure that I have every mapper ROM file that previously was in ines-correct. Another issue is the DIP switch. Some carts act quite erratically when the address mask changes on every soft reset, and the old code to decide that did not work well for. NES files. I introduced a new heuristic that worked for all files in the database.
I see no way of solving this short of creating a database of valid DIP switch positions for every known file hash. I have done such a thing for NintendulatorNRS. Finally, a small number I counted two homebrew multicarts from nesbbs no longer work with the newer, more hardware-accurate emulation.
Implemented STIC screen disable. The D day is here. Trujillo fjtrujy May 28, Standalone O2EM can emulate The Voice expansion module using wav sound samples that the user must place in a specific folder, similarly to what happens with the bios.
NOTE: This feature has not been enabled for every platform, but most non-memory constrained platforms should incorporate it now. This memory map is virtual, as the console itself accesses the two RAMs using specific instructions instead of mapping them to a single address space.
Before, the core has a Turbo A button with a fixed rate of four presses per second. Now, the turbo period is configurable via a new Turbo Button Period core option. Increasing the period to 0. This option is useful for certain games for which having Fast Depth Calculation enabled causes texture issues. Was not writing to the right address but decoded memory was working. Fixes several games. It is also a violation of the ABI and not a great idea. Recycled some little used registers to free SP.
Perf should be roughly the same. This works on both interpreter and dynarec. This fixes SM4 EU that for some reason has some weird memory access perhaps a bug?
Cleans up a ton of whitespace in cpu. This might make a handful games slightly slower but on the upper side they work now instead of crashing or restarting. Also while at it, fix some minor stuff in arm stubs for speed.
Rather than add a whole new device im just hooking it directly into the Contra driver for this core. Whereas with the others the benefits over the original simulations are not as yet known if indeed there are any. Before, the core supported analog paddle input when using gamepads 71 , with relative paddle motion corresponding to analog stick displacement.
Unfortunately, this is incompatible with real, physical paddles Stelladaptor, iCode, etc. Now, it enables support for these devices by adding a new virtual controller type. When Paddles Stelladaptor is selected, inputs are mapped as follows this is the normal convention for Atari controller adaptors :. This is a cut-down version of FBAlpha Only CPS3 emulation support has been kept in this core.
If we forgot any updates to any core during this period, let us know and we will update this article. It has been over a year since the last release. Thankfully, new releases will not lag that far behind RetroArch releases anymore thanks to our new roadmap which can be viewed here. We have a roadmap now see here , and you can expect more frequent releases from this point on.
We are aiming for a new version every two weeks. We were initially aiming to have the Lakka version ready to be released concurrently with this version, but had to postpone it. We are definitely aiming to have a new Lakka version ready with future releases of RetroArch though.
We have implemented core info file caching and enabled this by default for the console platforms. This should lead to significantly reduced startup times and content loading after the first initial startup.
After that though, it only has one cached file it has to load at startup instead of having to sequentially read every single core info file. An anecdotal report from the person who implemented this — previously without core info file caching t took 29 seconds just to boot XMB. With the core info file cache, it only takes 12 seconds.
On RGUI, it boots in 3 seconds or less. Significant reductions to be sure. Before, whenever content was loaded using a static build of RetroArch i. When enabled by default on consoles , the current existing behaviour is maintained.
It supports most libretro features netplay, runahead, retroachievements, …. Regularly, I see misunderstandings about our playability focus. Also, I mentioned it above, we intentionally decided to be inaccurate on buzzer emulation. Some features that were left over from standalone until now got implemented in the Libretro port :. And much more!
This article is far from being exhaustive. If you want to help FBNeo, keep sending us bug reports when you see something wrong. PlayStation Vita users will be happy to learn that the issues with gpSP Game Boy Advance emulator are now resolved, and it should work as reliably as it did before 1. We hope you get a lot of mileage out of this core as a lot of work and effort went into it to really optimize the performance of this core over the past few months!
Some nice changes under the hood that are more technical in nature: config file loading performance has been improved immeasurably which should help out with initial startup times of RetroArch, loading config files as well as loading shader presets. Core info file loading itself has also seen many performance improvements. Contra Japan. This means:. In order to support file browser navigation, the search filter implementation had to be rewritten.
Instead of having a single menu-driver-level search filter, independent search terms are now stored for each menu list. This is a far more robust solution, and means that filters can be enabled for other menus far more easily and without any hacks.
To demonstrate this, 1. In addition to all this, 1. The options are as follows:. These effects are rendered using font glyphs; the performance overheads of all the animations are therefore low. The VICE core in particular benefits enormously from this addition. Further testing of the OpenDingux Beta port has revealed several more resolutions which are mishandled by the IPU hardware scaler.
PCSX2, unlike Play! Things are rough around the edges. Expect bugs and things to be incomplete. Direct3D 11 renderer can be faster than OpenGL but also has less features.
Pick whichever works best for you. On Xbox you will only be able to use Direct3D11 anyways. It is still less compatible than the 32bit x86 dynarec in PCSX2, so keep that in mind. We have found this happens the most with the Direct3D 11 renderers.
Switching resolution at runtime right now can be a bit unstable, so does switching fullscreen resolution. We might just make resolution switching require a restart since this tends to be too unstable for now. Update policy for this core Hard-forked core for now.
Govanify is going through many necessary refactors in PCSX2 upstream to make the code more portable, and he has also expressed his interest in an upstreamable libretro core somewhere down the line when the final refactoring of the GUI is complete. So either of two things can happen when that happens, if this is more closely aligned to upstream core is better in every way including performance, this will be replaced.
If not, we will likely have two cores, one being the upstream-friendly core and this being the hard-forked one. As of this moment a lot of work remains to be done on PCSX2 to sort out all the internals that are chockful of nonportable code. Therefore, for now, the experimental PCSX2 core kinda is doing its own thing. We hope that we will be able to figure out a proper portable core for Linux users soon.
Expect a lot of Quality of Life enhancements to this core soon. Everyone wins. The Play! It took some time for this to be readded to our modern new buildbot but here it is! Update policy for this core Upstream. Updates are pulled straight from the upstream repository. Update policy for this core This will remain a shallow fork and attempts are being made to make the surface area for patches small so that we can easily pull in updates.
Some new contributors have jumped onboard and they want to ensure this core remains updated. It is also available for Mac Intel x64 users, and we hope that we can make it available for ARM Mac users soon as well. Update policy for this core This is pretty much a shallow fork. It just attempts to pull in the latest changes from upstream without making many changes. Many changes have been made under the hood to significantly increase performance of gpSP. We can quite comfortably state you will be hard pressed to find a better and more well performing version of this emulator anywhere else right now.
Good speedups or power savings on portable devices. One caveat right now is that these changes have unfortunately caused it to no longer work on PS Vita. However, the plan is to fix this soon, and for this to be only a temporary thing. This has received many speed improvements and enhancements courtesy of irixx, 32X support has seen plenty of improvements, and the results speak for themselves.
I wanted to add a couple of multicart mappers that use the J. Company ASIC and fix a few bugs while doing so. I ended up rewriting the whole thing by porting the code from NintendulatorNRS.
Previous save states had to be invalidated in any case since the previous code only saved four of the eight CHR LSB registers. Combine duplicate code from Some mapper multicarts not working, such as SC Added Adder to ALU not used by any game.
Allow DIP setting to be read from all possible locations: , , 5C00, necessary for a few multicarts. Adds the following mappers: , , , , , , IRQ timing is not as perfect as the NintendulatorNRS code from which it was taken, which had been verified against real hardware. There remains one J. ASIC-using mapper: , which mounts both the J. That is a bit difficult to code and will be for another day.
For more on that, read this article here. Update policy for this core Hard fork, as it makes many sweeping changes to Genesis Plus GX to achieve widescreen support, which would make resyncing with upstream very hard to do.
Here is a list of other cores that have received updates, but for which we cannot post any changelogs due to lack of time. We might go into some more of the changes here later on. This is a followup article to our main release blog post, which can be read here.
As an integrated member of the RetroArch family, the OpenDingux port benefits from all frontend development work — but a major addition for this release is a separate, optimised build for OpenDingux Beta link here. This is an updated, modern firmware compatible with many devices which offers significantly improved performance. Users who prefer to remain on stable operating systems need not fear, however: RetroArch will always be optimised for both beta and stock firmwares.
Aside from RetroArch itself, expanding the library of available cores has been a major focus of this release. Launching initially with 20 hand-picked cores, a further seven have been added to the list:. All of these cores have excellent performance on OpenDingux devices with the mild exception of TIC, which can be a demanding system on many platforms — yet a number of popular carts run full speed.
And one more gift for OpenDingux users: the gpSP core now has a fully functional dynarec, courtesy of davidgf. This means full speed GBA emulation, with plenty of headroom for video filters, colour correction and inter-frame blending! Today marks an important day for our project. We have left the old infrastructure behind, it is done and dusted and a thing of the past. From now on, you can expect periodic stable releases again for all platforms. Expect our project to be hitting on all cylinders from this point on!
One blog post is not enough to go through all the milestones that have been reached, so expect many followup blog posts in addition to this. In this blog post instead we will try our best to summarize most of the highlights.
Nevertheless, here is the changelog broken down as best as we could. In the past, harakari would grace us every month with a pre-compiled version that we then had to manually upload to our buildserver. If you want to use the binaries on our site, this is what you have to do:. You will then have to re-sign the. You can read more on how to do this here. First-time asset extraction — On first startup, it will extract the assets from assets.
You will notice it starting up with low-res assets and telling you to wait until this process has finished. Fortunately, this will only happen once and will not happen again afterwards. In the meantime, we have added even more cores for the ARM Macs. We are now up to 93 cores, up from the 75 we started with a few days ago! Get it here. This way, it no longer requires you to disable GateKeeper or start up the program in an obtuse way to get the program to start.
As always, you can find these versions on our Download page. This means that the Desktop Mode triggered with F5 is not available in these builds as of this time. Stay tuned for further information on that. All the stable binaries out right now are for Intel Macs. Hopefully this situation will improve later on so that ARM Mac support comes out of the box. It uses the latest technologies available in modern Macs, like a new CoreAudio 3 driver, and a Metal graphics driver.
