EDIT: Actually I don't know much about the different updates occured, apparently a man named Francois is the one who developed the strong Kronos branch. I think some of these updates have made it upstream(?) of yaba-sanshiro and thus reflect much better emulation.

devmiyax is the author of yabasanshiro, he forked it from yabause after getting some of his PR to yabause rejected (iirc), main features for this fork are dynarecs for arm/aarch64 cpus and a gles3 renderer => that's what you want on SBC & phones FCare (François) is the author of kronos, he forked it from yabasanshiro after getting some of his PR to yabasanshiro rejected, main features are a cached interpreter and a modern gl renderer => that's what you want on pc

That runs pretty good

The videos are using my libretro port of yabasanshiro, i would recommend using the standalone version instead : due to how standalone works, i couldn't get an important feature speed-wise (async rendering) to work in the libretro core.

@chicuelo
That’s correct. I took the controllers from your theme and put them above the systems, instead of the standard controller icon/image, that the Eudora theme has. I like them!

Thanks for them as well!

Hey, @markyh444 , cheers!

@markyh444 said in Saturn 6 Button Portable Pi:

@cole_eliot good luck. I tried to put a Pi Zero into a MK2 pad and ended up having to mount it on the back instead as there was nowhere near enough room for me to mount inside.
Yeah, I could see if have no chance there, I'm thinking a botched, non-standard, undercarriage that doesn't give me too much width and it'll be fine. As long as I can leverage the screws, etc, on the original pads casings, then I might be ok.
It is a really well built pad though, and well worth an attempt to turn into a handheld.

If you need any ideas, link to my project site is below.

Aye. As you can tell, I'm pretty fond of it.

I'll definitely go check out your site, I imagine I'll come across half the nasty issues that you did, too. I may also steal your ideas! Thanks!

For a really rough sketch of what I'm trying to do here (I'm no artist!):
crap drawing

Obviously missing its curves 😉

I'm thinking if I make it longer (at the pad end) to keep the screen central, I could get more room inside to keep it slimmer.

Look, it's not going to be pretty, but if I can get something vaguely presentable (might have to go matt finish), which works, then I'm on to a winner, and I'll consider making another but a bit more ... well made ;-)

@dankcushions Fair enough.

Seems it's really easy to find Saturns for sale on Amazon for quite cheap!

Problem is the games. The are going to cost you a mortgage. Average of $100 per used game.

Jeez. For nearly that I could get a PILE of Saturns and disassemble them and figure them out from scratch.

@mitu Ok, thanks

@beldar So I thought there were regional differences between dual shock 4 v2's (Japan having the better dpad). There aren't. It was just a fluke. That dpad wasn't supposed to be in that V2 at all. I've found out that a lot (maybe all) of V1 dual shock 4's have that superior dpad. Apparently Sony thought they improved the dpad design in the V2 by making it more matte and grippy. But for me the older dpad plays miles better so I bought some broken V1 controllers to harvest those dpads. :)

I got ahold of them no good :( but we have another dev to ask, no worries red batman, ill push this to go forward, i got a answer from another dev but he said he would make a mod but not for 1 person and for only 1 game/ 2d games unless we get alot of people asking for it but thanks for reply and keep the hard studying up buddy thanks

@willreaper neo geo has several possible emulators that they could work on. You might want to try as many as possible to find a working one. I recommend trying lr-fbalpha and lr-fbalpha2012

@mediamogul

You are definitely correct in that laws and regulations vary from location to location. There is also a lot of misinformation that is frequently spread.

For example, the 24 hour trial/backup rule in the USA is a hoax. It doesn't exist or cover you legally. It can be a civil offense if the holder of the IP decides to sue you for making unauthorized copies and therefore harming their profits. If you are selling those items, well, that's a different story as that can definitely be a criminal offense and not just a civil lawsuit.

So, basically there's no way to legally harvest and distribute owned IP without an agreement from the owner. There is no clause or rule that makes downloading a Mario ROM legally okay in the USA. All this was hashed out during the late 90's and early 00's during the Napster craze. However, Nintendo would have to decide that filing a lawsuit against you for damages was worth paying their IP lawyers to bring the case to court. They have much bigger fish to fry, but it is technically a possibility that they could sue you.

While a few individual citizens are probably not worth Nintendo's time and money, organizations and websites are not so obscure. IP holders (especially hyper defensive Nintendo) can and do send legal notices to websites. The Retropie project is very wise in keeping their collective noses clean.

There is also the humorous fact that Nintendo has downloaded ROMs from the internet to use for their virtual console systems. I read that one of the games on their store had a custom header on the ROM.

@mitu Thanks! It worked. I didn't have to re-install the lr-beetle-Saturn emulator, but rather run an update after deleting the config file. thanks!

No problem dude, glad to help.

@antnned Not trying to admonish you, at all. As I said, it's just friendly advice.

it's not beyond a possibility. uoyabause runs well on arm phones of similar specs. the problem is that the pi only has GLES 2. 3 is required for it.

@mat03111984 haha if it were that simple...

The Saturn had two CPUs and a whole bunch of other graphics chips. The hardware is relatively complex compared to the other consoles at the time. As emulation emulates the hardware the more complex the hardware the more difficult the emulation. They are still making progress though

Interesting video on some recent developments:

@rockyhill Thanks. Build info is all on my blog actually now if you want to take a look: markyh444.wordpress.com
