Citra Performance Update

Due to heavy request i've backported the disable right eye rendering hack to my port.

Originally developed for azahar emu, it was annoying to backport but it seems to work really well. I also did a little update without the hack with new RA/libnx available in exclusive content.

Small Update

Hello,

I just wanted to take a moment to talk about current releases and schedules.

So with the N64Recomp project release, my own recompiler implementation has been put on the backburner for now. I am in the process of making a updated PPSSPP release as well as update mupen core and add some new features and squeeze in a Citra Maintenance update as well. I know my release schedule has been.. spotty.. to say the least.

Starting from next month I will attempt to get back into ...

Small Progress Report

Hello,

Just to break the silence, here is a little progress report.

Currently I am working on improving emscripten (RetroArch in Webbrowser), I did some improvements to the openAL audio driver as well as implemented a threaded driver for it.

I implemented a cached interpreter for melonDS and did a lot of microoptimisations so it can now run decent in webbrowser on some platforms like iOS, this will still take till next month at least before it can be rolled out. I also impro...

Headsup

Hello,

I hope you all had great Holidays. The new year is starting with a lot of work here but I want to take a few minutes to talk about a few things.

First I want to express my gratitude for your continued support through 2023 even tho my activity was pretty low. I got most of the Citra release wrapped up and we can expect a lot more updates for it through 2024, a bit bummed with myself though that I didn't get to create the official public release forum posts yet after spending...

Other consoles could also be a option, so are long running wishes of the community if enough people are interested.

PPSSPP Update Preview

Just here to announce that you can find a updated preview build of v1.14 on Discord now. The public release will happen shortly after testing and some more cleanup in the code. The Libretro core will be fixed by the public release of the update as well, so if you use that, you might need to wait a little longer.

Happy Holidays

I wish everyone here happy holidays, stay safe and see you with some big news next year (the poll i mentioned before will be delayed due to that)!

I am also cooking up a PPSSPP rebase which is mostly finished, I will try to get it wrapped up after all the family stuff is over, for those that can't wait, also the Citra core is getting into the bugfix only phase till the public release after gyro is functional properly.

See you around!

Core Overhaul + Misc News

Hello folks,

real life has been rough here, so sadly didn't get too much things done.
I am back in the saddle for now and I gonna start overhauling a bunch of old cores, that means updating them for the newest libnx. This will be a huge undertaking that will take time to roll out, but its really due.

I am also gonna hold some polls about projects you want to see and other suggestions. Feel free to make some in the comments already!

Current Fallout

Hi folks,
just here to inform you that both my Switch (SD connector receptable..) and PC PSU died so stuff is on hold.
Will get to fix my PC hopefully later, Switch the coming weekend (annoying to solder that part..) and I should continue as usual.

Currently a rebased PPSSPP Standalone/Core release and Citra cleanup / pub release are waiting for this to be resolved.

For more updates, check discord. A Preview of the PPSSPP Standalone rebase was made available before it all bl...

RosettaDrone 2 with Mini 2 Support

Hey,

our Discord users here already heard about it, but just a small sideproject of mine.

DJI refuses to add Mini 2 Support to SDK v4, so I simply took it in my own hands.

This version enables fully autonomous flight via a waypoint csv in the litchi format (f.e. export from metashape etc) on the Mini 2.

I think most people here don't need it, but if you do, I got ya covered.

Check the README and make sure you know  what you are doing. No builds are provided ...

Misc Notes

Hey guys.

It has been a bit quiet, currently very busy developing a home console at work so it eats up most of my time and I can barely be bothered doing anything past my day job.
I plan on fixing the flycast build for switch by the end of the weekend hopefully.
Also there's some unrelated misc projects coming up like SDK Unlock for DJI Drones (specifically the Mini 2), so if you are into that, stay tuned.
PPSSPP needs to be revisited too, have been procrastinating a bunch on t...

Headsup: Prototype assembly stream!

Hello,

just a little headsup, gonna stream some prototype assembly in a bit (max in a few hours), so if you have nothing to do, feel free to join and learn a bit about SMD assembly!

Notes

A quick thanks to all of my supporters, especially the recent yearly pledges, that allowed me to upgrade a lot of my equipment!
I will try to get some prototypes ready in the coming weeks to give away to my longest / biggest supporters. The assembly process will be streamed sometime next week/weekend in case you want to learn some SMD/QFP soldering!

If things go well, I might do a trial run on the weekend, but no promise on this ;)

Happy Holidays

As the title says, Happy Holidays to everyone!
Libretro New Infra still goes full steam ahead and we are finally churning out the first bundles!

There might still be a few things happening before the year ends, but no promise yet since currently everything is stressful.

A lot of Updates are due with the new libnx release, I will probably start mid-january with those.

Also at the start of the new year I will configure yearly pledges for you guys :)

Poll on annual pledges

I decided to hold a poll if I should introduce annual pledges.
This will be primarily interesting for people that have problems with their payment providers on reoccuring charges.

So a year of support would be like 12 bucks + taxes on the lowest tier.

A caveat of this is that up-front charge must be enabled (shouldn't change anything for existing patrons).

Just some quick notes

Hello folks,

Stuff has been quiet recently - mostly busy with real life as well as research on the Mario collection and other misc side projects.
Some Mupen maintenance was done yesterday (mostly relevant for desktop) but it should be a good time to update it if you haven't in a while!

Also Flycast was fixed on Switch (thanks slash for doing the PR for me).

Additionally there's a secret / unannounced side project going on, not sure when it's gonna be announced but it's cu...
