5.22 beta 3

nadenislamarre

Thanks for all your feedbacks on beta2.
We've tried to understand most of them and to fix all what we have reproduced.

beta3 is coming in the next hours. we've no more major bug on it. however, a new beta is required before the first rc to confirm that.

Please report bugs only and limit the posts to that because it's sometimes complicated to understand what is bug and what is not. maybe prefix bugs by - and successfull test by +

nadenislamarre awesome! If we are using beta 2 and an external, do we just re-flash the USB stick and boot from it? will everything be retained on the external once I set it again?

@Jerzeeloon yes, i can do one. it is just that it will stay in beta in the final release because there is still job on the n2.

GameCast where are you from? something related to Portuguese talk to me at discord..

jdorigao

GameCast I could not download the corrected file!
Some translations of Portuguese PT and BR had to be reduced to fit within the available space.

nadenislamarre congratulations for the new beta! Will try asap. There's still chances to add lr-vice for C64 in the stable version? Thanks so much and keep the good work.

Here the results of my tests so far:

Dreamcast
- control not working (only left and right direction on left analog stick of my ps3 controller is working)

Master System
- Screen not in centre (moved to the right a bit, so that there is a black bar at the left side)

N64
- when pressing Hotkey + B in non Libretro Emulators (when Emulator is set to either AUTO or MUPEN64PLUS) the system crashes/freezes
- when you change Emulator to Libretro and leave Core at "Auto", the games do not start (you get a black screen and it goes back to ES Menu)

3DS
- no Libretro Citra anymore?
- in standalone Citra the screens are stretched (wrong aspect ratio), no control of lower screen (touchscreen/pointer mode with right analog stick) and no hotkey combos (for fast forward, save/load save states) possible and no bezels

Gamecube
- when using PS3 controller the Gamecube controller buttons B and X button (PS3 controller = square and circle) are mixed up/reversed -> can be solved in dolphin-emu-config, controller settings, but this config-change can not be saved permanently

PS2
- up and down directions of right analog stick on ps3 controller are mixed up/reversed (up = down and down = up) -> can be solved in pcsx2 config, controller settings, but this config-change can not be saved permanently

joinski Thanks for the feedback!
The libretro-citra is very outdated and does not run many games and unfortunately due to this outdated version conflicts between libraries used (libretro-citra and citra), so it is not possible to keep both at the same time. Once the libretro-citra is updated we will return with both.
Example of games that did not work Mario Kart 7 and Pokemon X Y.

On the stretched canvas, could you give more detail about the resolution if it is 4:3 or 16:9 and if possible send the screen image?

About the other problems, we'll be checking.

joinski Hello, I have verified the mastersystem bezel size and it os well configurated. The issue is the games original format.
To see that you can click on hotkey+b and you will figure out that the border window retroarch it is on the edge of the bezel border, it touches each other so it is well configurated....

Regarding libretro-citra i understand now, thanks.
But will there be the possibility to access citra configuration via f1, like dolphin emu-config, pcsx2, reicast and retroarch?
It's a pitty that you now (with standalone Citra) can not control the lower screen (touchscreen/pointer mode) anymore, because in many games it is needed and some games are almost unplayable because of that 🙁

Here a comparison of the screens from libretro citra from batocera 5.21 and standalone citra of 5.22 beta:

Libretro Citra in Batocera 5.21:

Standalone citra in Batocera 5.22 beta:

In both systems, i did not change any settings of resolution (so Advanced Game Settings of 3DS, everything on "AUTO").
I will now try to change Game Ratio and Video Mode to see, if and which effect this will have.

Edit: Unfortunately changing the Game Ratio (i tried 16/9, 1/1 and 4/3) or Video Mode does not have any effect 🙁 The screens are still stretched.
I noticed that, even though i set Video Mode to 1920x1080 or 1280x720, at the start of the game my TV shows me 640x480 as current resolution.

jdorigao Any chance to add libretro-vice as optional emulator for Commodore 64?

jdorigao

joinski I wanted to keep both of them and I tried but it was not possible now is to wait for the libretto to update the libretro-citra.
About the size of the screen citra does not have the decoration that the libretro-citra has and the current screen size was the best I have found.

Snap72 The libretro-vice is already available for x32 and x64
