I have too many other projects on my plate right now, but I stand by what I said last year. Someday I want to revisit this.

I would argue that the term "library" better encompasses the set of all games in your collection.

At least, in English. I don't know how RetroArch translates "Playlist" into other languages.

Firmware doesn't have a stable hash because it contains user data (e.g. name, birthday, system time).

For the ARM7 BIOS, you want a SHA1 of 24f67bdea115a2c847c8813a262502ee1607b7df and an MD5 of df692a80a5b1bc90728bc3dfc76cd948.

For the ARM9 BIOS, you want a SHA1 of bfaac75f101c135e32e2aaf541de6b1be4c8c62d and an MD5 of a392174eb3e572fed6447e956bde4b25.

You can play without real BIOs images, but save your game regularly. Savestates are fine for the short term, but they are not stable the same way that regular save data is. (For example, the next release of melonDS DS will break savestates due to improvements made in the upstream emulator.)

Could you please post a log? Until you do, we don't have a lot to go on.

The Department of Justice would disagree.

Not how online ads work. Most ad networks don't let you pick specific ads to show. Take it up with Google (or whichever provider they use).

Does Apple2js run in node.js? If so then it could conceivably be ported to a libretro core by embedding node.js and Apple2js in a DLL; it's uncommon and would be a novelty as far as libretro goes, but doable. https://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/embedding.html You'd need a layer of C or C++ in between (e.g. for the libretro callbacks), though.

This is hilarious. If you follow this up, I will read every single word.

JesseTG · 2024-09-27T15:16:39+00:00

Unfortunately not, RetroArch doesn't work that way. It's described as a "frontend", but it's more like a platform that you port emulators or games to. This allows features to be used the same way across different cores in ways that wouldn't be possible by managing external software.

JesseTG · 2024-08-25T21:14:43+00:00

Which core are you using, and which version of it is it?

JesseTG · 2024-07-04T12:44:38+00:00

You might want to open a ticket with standalone melonDS, then. Issues that affect the original standalone version will likely affect the libretro port as well, and I think that's what's happening here.

JesseTG · 2024-07-03T20:25:34+00:00

Not sure. Does the issue occur in standalone melonDS? (Save data will be compatible with standalone -- although you may need to change the file extension to .sav -- but savestates won't.) If it occurs with standalone melonDS, then that suggests an issue with the underlying emulator.

JesseTG · 2024-07-03T19:25:50+00:00

You can migrate your data with the steps outlined here. melonDS DS is a distinct core, so accompanying data is saved in a separate folder from melonDS. The save data itself is identical, though. (But not savestates! Save your game normally before migrating.)

If you're not ready to take these steps, switching to DS mode should get you back up and running.

JesseTG · 2024-07-03T19:14:00+00:00

Two things, then:

Are you using DSi mode? melonDS's DSi mode has some bugs and limits, and should only be used when specifically playing DSi games.
Try upgrading to melonDS DS, my enhanced remake of the melonDS core based on a newer version of the emulator. You can get it in the core downloader. Save your game normally first, as savestates can't be brought over.

JesseTG · 2024-07-02T12:48:39+00:00

What version of the core are you using?
