I took a quick glance and I noticed that there are two sets of memory ranges being installed in the same bank with RA_InstallMemoryBank. These should be installed in separate banks.

I'm using RALibretro, the multi emulator, choosing Core FBA, when I start any Cps I, II, III or NEO GEO game, it works. but when the opening of the Qsound and Neo Geo logo arrives, the game is restarted and again when it arrives at the logo.
but when I press the fast forward button, it works, but it stays fast. this problem happens with some Cps and neo geo games. What can I do ?

The Atari 7800 core shows up in the core folder as prosystem_libretro.dll.zip and it is a 0 byte file that is neither a zip nor a dll.

Propably not properly optimized.

• overlay menu flashes randomly (becoming transparent for a split of the second)
• random display glitches in the overlay menu
• values in memory inspector and achievement editor are not updating fluently, and this applies both to memory view, hit counts and contents of all fields in the editor

FCEUmm expects a disksys.rom system to be present in the Systems directory. If this is not the case, it will return an error, which RALibretro will silently dispose of. The application will enter an error state where another attempt at loading a file or closing the application will cause memory errors to occur. This will be a common issue if #32 is pulled and integrated in an upcoming release.

As a developer, I expect the screen to update when I save/load state, even while paused.

Steps:

1. Start a game (I've been using FCEUmm if this happens to be core specific)
2. Pause the emulator (;)
3. Create a save state (Shift+F1)
4. Advance a few frames (press ; until something noticably changes on the screen)
5. Load the save state (F1)

The change noted at step 4 is not reverted.

this makes fds games impossible to dev for

Achievement developers use a bunch of savestates to check/compare the RAM behavior. It would be useful if RALibretro provided more slots for states.

It was mentioned on our discord that RAMeka has 99 slots. RALibretro could do the same. But to avoid confusion maybe it's better to wait for the implementation of what is being requested on #2.

(obviously the F1... F10 shortcuts would deal with only first ten slots, the other ones would be accessible by using the "next slot" function)

In the Unrecognized Title window when trying to link a Master System game using the Genesis Plus GX core, the dropdown list show SMS as well as Mega Drive and GameBoy Color games.

I tried making a new entry for the SMS Earthworm Jim but when I typed it in, it linked to the Mega Drive version instead.
I tried making a new entry using Earthworm Jim SMS to differentiate the two, but it still linked to Mega Drive.
I had to use RAMeka to get it to properly link.

Can't diplay "Supported Files" while browsing ROMs to load, and the menu shows weird corrupted format as an option. Games are loading correctly while displaying "All Games"

Copied from original issue: meleu/RALibretro#12

This is observable when attempting to load a file using the FCEUmm core, following an attempt at loading an FDS file without a system present (or regardless of that condition, prior to #35). Attempting to unload (in code) also generates errors, including exiting the application.

Further investigation is required in order to determine the root cause and other situations where the application can enter such a state.

This is a missing core with achievement support in an effort to bring all cores that support achievements in Retroarch into RALibretro.

Unfortunatelly, my laptop needs the multi thread core activated in order to get faster frames on arcade games, they are a bit slow for me. I really want to make some achievements sets for arcade, but it's hard for me now.

By my tests these trigger at the start ONLY on RAlibretro. I've also tested Retroarch and RANES 0.014.

Hi,

is there a possibility to start RALibretro with a core and a given ROM file as command line parameter?

When compiling on Windows with all submodules initialized, there are still missing dependencies that require manually moving libraries to the build directory in order to debug. These include SDL2.dll and libretro cores.

If SDL2 can be built from the submodule version, then this should be automated when compiling RALibretro. Otherwise, the submodule should be removed. As for libretro dependencies, the supported/required cores should be listed and a download link (e.g. to the nightly builds) provided. In the future it would be ideal to add them as submodules and integrate them into the build process as well.

Once we define a good way to release a zip with all needed files to run RALibretro and stop using dropbox, we can create a way to make RALibretro check if there's a new version available.

In the future we can think about auto-updating, but at first just a "new version checker" should be enough.

suggested by @maguslogs

I've just noticed that in 1.0.6 the Load Recent menu is not getting updated with new entries.

I noticed while using 1.0.6 but I'm not sure in what version this behavior started.

The whole application stops responding when loading Lynx titles using the Handy core, while a BIOS file is present in the System directory. The file is named according to the libretro documentation for Handy (https://docs.libretro.com/library/handy/) and the MD5 hash used for my tests matches. When the file is absent, loading works as expected (because Handy provides a pseudo BIOS to load without a real one present).

Due to a (kind of) recent update to Window 10, Open GL doesn't work with some AMD video cards. My PC has one of these cards. It performs at about 50% speed for some games, other games don't work at all. (They are getting no hardware acceleration at all.)

D3D11 support would be recommended.

This option is missing for the Atari 7800 and Arcade emulators, to allow run some games properly.

Requesting that Port 1 is the only active port by default.

I often need to change multiple ports to none and/or unassigned every time a core (and sometimes a game) is loaded. I only have one XInput Controller, but RALib initially wants that one controller to control several ports.

Normally it wouldn't be that big of a deal, but I have noticed that FB Alpha and PC Engine CD games don't agree with this at all and will often hang or crash RALib if an input setting is adjusted. This is especially frustrating since changing games for these cores require RALib to be shut down and restarted every time a game is switched.

Using RAGens 0.57 i can see up to 0x01FFFF while with RALibretro 1.0.13 i can only see up to 0xFFFF using either Genesis Plus GX or Picodrive cores.

The cores added via download link are not best compatible and seems outdated, arcade one does not have full game list support (Cps2/3)

i would like to be able to dev for a pokemon hack that doesnt work in mgba and i want to be able to use 1 save file between retroarch and an ra compatible dev emu

It's less confusing to see which state is active, which was loaded or saved, and when you activate slowdown etc.
The message could be displayed in upper left corner not to get in the way of the RA overlay.

If the application fails to initialize, RALibretro.json will be overwritten with an empty recent file list.

Copied from original issue: meleu/RALibretro#41

As you can see it doesn't work.

As pointed out by many achievement developers, often bringing much frustration, we are unable to debug what could be core specific issues due to lack of available cores.

I would say this is an essential need as we want to continue to adequately support Retroarch.

1. It appears that save states are incompatible between builds. Loading saved states made in older build doesn't work for new builds (it need to be a file made specifically in current version). There is no entry about this action in the log.
2. To load a saved state after initializing the program first you need to save a state, otherwise loading won't work.

Those two issues could be related, that's why I've decided to put them together

The user @ikki5 reported on RA discord server that latest RALibretro was very laggy for him. We can see it in this video he made:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=El77VlY3WPM

I did a git bisect and sent the binaries to him for tests, and according to the bisect method this commit started to make RALibretro laggy for him: b9b95c4 (commit message: "Removed SDL_Renderer").

And the immediately preceding commit (bcdade8) is working just fine. Without noticeable lag.

Later @leiradel listed some commits to test. I built each commit and sent to @ikki5 for testing, here are the results (spoiler: none of them worked):

• 1193d49: crashes on start up. The log is empty.

• 5d0f6c4: black screen, no picture or sound. log.txt

• a2d98b2: laggy. log.txt

• e4f3972: laggy. log.txt

• 02ecf34: laggy. log.txt

• 9bcc7b3: laggy. log.txt

This is a missing core with achievement support in an effort to bring all cores that support achievements in Retroarch into RALibretro.

#37 provides a script to fetch cores on Windows, so the core DLLs in the develop branch are bloating the size of the repository for no reason.

The best would be to provide a better way to fetch dependencies and get rid of all of them, ignoring the entire bin directory.

I think it will be more secure to force a gap for processing on any ROM load, but I guess it might be more related to the integration functionality. I mean creating a chance for memory to be completely nulled between the loads. Still if it wouldn't create any kind of issues the program could force the memory to be filled with 0s or Fs, before switching to another ROM, if RALibretro will be used not only as the developers tool.

I tried to load a few different titles and so far i was able to view the memory for one of them. Memory inspector show nothing. The only think that i've notice
compared to RAVBA is that RALibretro is aware for 8192 RAM Locations for gameboy and 32768 for gameboy color unlike VBA who detect 65536 RAM locations.
Used RALibRetro 1.0.7.180501 with Gambatte core.

A way to rebind the default keyboard inputs and keyboard shortcuts like fast forward. Especially for fast forward the default "=" or "-" is uncomfortable when you have to use your right hand to toggle it or move your left hand unlike some other emus were it is binded in "TAB" or "Space".

A way to pause while playing in hardcore is needed, especially for any arcade game, as there is no built in pause.
