RETROARCH 360 - 0.9.8.3
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
RetroConsole Level: 2
|
||||
Author: Themaister, Squarepusher/Twin Aphex
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
HOW TO INSTALL THIS
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Copy the entire folder to your harddrive.
|
||||
|
||||
ROMs go into the 'roms' directory, or some subdirectory in the RetroArch-360
|
||||
directory.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
HOW TO USE THIS
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
On first startup, RetroArch will select one of the dozen or so
|
||||
emulator/game cores. The name of the core currently loaded will be
|
||||
shown at the bottom side of the screen.
|
||||
|
||||
You can now select a ROM that this core supports and load it in the Filebrowser.
|
||||
|
||||
To select a different core - go to 'Change Libretro core' in the Main Menu.
|
||||
Press A to go to a filebrowser where you can select a different core. Press A
|
||||
to switch to the emulator/game core.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
INGAME CONTROLS
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
During ingame operation you can do some extra actions:
|
||||
|
||||
Right Thumb Stick - Down - Fast-forwards the game
|
||||
Right Thumb Stick - Up - Rewinds the game in real-time
|
||||
('Rewind' has to be enabled in the 'Settings'
|
||||
screen - warning - comes at a slight
|
||||
performance decrease but will be worth it
|
||||
if you love this feature)
|
||||
RStick Left + RT - Decrease save state slot
|
||||
Rtick Right + RT - Increase save state slot
|
||||
RStick Up + RT - Load selected save state slot
|
||||
RStick Down + RT - Save selected save state slot
|
||||
Right Thumb + Left Thumb - Go back to 'Menu'/'Quick Menu'
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
WHAT IS RETROARCH?
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
RetroArch is a modular multi-system emulator system that is designed to
|
||||
be fast, lightweight and portable. It has features few other emulator
|
||||
frontends have, such as real-time rewinding and game-aware shading.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
WHAT IS LIBRETRO?
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Libretro is the API that RetroArch uses. It makes it easy to port games
|
||||
and emulators to a single core backend, such as RetroArch.
|
||||
|
||||
For the user, this means - more ports to play with, more crossplatform
|
||||
portability, less worrying about developers having to reinvent the wheel
|
||||
writing boilerplate UI/port code - so that they can get busy with writing
|
||||
the emulator/porting the emulator/game.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Right now it's unique in that it runs the same emulator cores on
|
||||
multiple systems (such as Xbox 360, PS3, PC, Wii, etc).
|
||||
|
||||
For each emulator 'core', RetroArch makes use of a library API that we
|
||||
like to call 'libretro'.
|
||||
|
||||
Think of libretro as an interface for emulator and game ports. You can
|
||||
make a libretro port once and expect the same code to run on all the
|
||||
platforms that RetroArch supports. It's designed with simplicity and
|
||||
ease of use in mind so that the porter can worry about the port at hand
|
||||
instead of having to wrestle with an obfuscatory API.
|
||||
|
||||
The purpose of libretro is to help ease the work of the emulator/game
|
||||
porter by giving him an API that allows him to target multiple platforms
|
||||
at once without having to redo any code. He doesn't have to worry about
|
||||
writing input/video/audio drivers - all of that is supplied to him by
|
||||
RetroArch. All he/she has to do is to have the emulator port hook
|
||||
into the libretro API and that's it - we take care of the rest.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
XBOX 360 PORT
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
The Xbox 360 port of RetroArch has the following features:
|
||||
|
||||
- Real-time rewinding
|
||||
- Switching between emulator cores seamlessly, and ability to install
|
||||
new libretro cores
|
||||
|
||||
Included with RetroArch 360 are a bunch of shaders - including the latest
|
||||
version of the popular xBR shader. It is possible to use two shaders
|
||||
simultaneously to get the best possible graphical look.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
EMULATOR/GAME CORES BUNDLED WITH XBOX 360 PORT
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
The following emulators/games have been ported to RetroArch and are included in
|
||||
the Xbox 360 release of RetroArch.
|
||||
|
||||
For more information about them, see the included
|
||||
'retroarch-libretro-README.txt' file.
|
||||
|
||||
- Final Burn Alpha (Arcade - various) [version 0.2.97.28]
|
||||
- FCEUmm (Nintendo Entertainment System) [recent SVN version]
|
||||
- NEStopia (Nintendo Entertainment System) [1.44]
|
||||
- Gambatte (Game Boy | Super Game Boy | Game Boy Color) [version 0.5.0 WIP]
|
||||
- Genesis Plus GX (Sega SG-1000 | Master System | Game Gear | Genesis/Mega Drive |
|
||||
Sega CD) [version 1.7.3]
|
||||
- SNES9x Next (Super Nintendo/Super Famicom)
|
||||
- VBA Next (Game Boy Advance)
|
||||
- Prboom (for playing Doom 1/Doom 2/Ultimate Doom/Final Doom)
|
||||

||||
- Mednafen NGP (Neo Geo Pocket Color)
|
||||
|
||||
All of the emulators listed above are the latest versions currently
|
||||
available. Most of them have been specifically optimized so that
|
||||
they will run better on 360 (some games would not reach fullspeed
|
||||
without these optimizations).

ZIP SUPPORT
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Selecting a ZIP file will temporarily unzip that file to the harddrive. The
|
||||
temporary file will be deleted as soon as the game gets unloaded and/or when
|
||||
you quit RetroArch.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: For the FBA core (and other cores that have 'block_extract' set to
|
||||
true) - selecting a ZIP file from the Filebrowser will load that game
|
||||
directly.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Troubleshooting
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
If you find that RetroArch no longer works for whatever reason, there is
|
||||
a way to get it back to work -
|
||||
|
||||
- Remove retroarch.cfg from the 'Retroarch-360' folder, then start up again.
|
||||
The Libretro management service in RetroArch should automatically pick a
|
||||
random libretro core and write this to the config file.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
What can you expect in the future?
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
- Do a Blackberry Playbook/Blackberry 10 RetroArch port
|
||||
- Do an iOS port of RetroArch (will need hardware for this - gifts appreciated)
|
||||
- Make the libxenon port release-worthy.
|
||||
- Add console-friendly features (nicely formatted names for FBA, some better
|
||||
way to do core switching, etc)
|
||||
- Fix NxEngine issues on consoles
|
||||
- Finish up MAME 0.72 port
|
||||
- Finish up ScummVM port
|
||||
- Port of VICE to libretro
|
||||
- More emulators, more games that will run on RetroArch
|
||||
- Lots of other crazy ideas that might or might not pan out
|
||||

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
HOW TO USE THIS
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
On first startup, RetroArch will select one of the dozen or

WHAT IS RETROARCH?
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
RetroArch is a modular multi-system emulator system that is
|
||||
designed to be fast, lightweight and portable. It has features
|
||||
few other emulator frontends have, such as real-time rewinding
|
||||
and game-aware shading.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
WHAT IS LIBRETRO?
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Libretro is the API that RetroArch uses. It makes it easy to
|
||||
port games and emulators to a single core backend, such as
|
||||
RetroArch.
|
||||
|
||||
For the user, this means - more ports to play with, more
|
||||
crossplatform portability, less worrying about developers having
|
||||
to reinvent the wheel writing boilerplate UI/port code - so that
|
||||
they can get busy with writing the emulator/porting the emulator/game.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Right now it's unique in that it runs the same emulator cores on
|
||||
multiple systems (such as Xbox 360, PS3, PC, Wii, Xbox 1, etc).
|
||||
|
||||
For each emulator 'core', RetroArch makes use of a library API that
|
||||
we like to call 'libretro'.
|
||||
|
||||
Think of libretro as an interface for emulator and game ports. You
|
||||
can make a libretro port once and expect the same code to run on all
|
||||
the platforms that RetroArch supports. It's designed with simplicity
|
||||
and ease of use in mind so that the porter can worry about the port
|
||||
at hand instead of having to wrestle with an obfuscatory API.
|
||||
|
||||
The purpose of libretro is to help ease the work of the emulator/game
|
||||
porter by giving him an API that allows him to target multiple
|
||||
platforms at once without having to redo any code. He doesn't have
|
||||
to worry about writing input/video/audio drivers - all of that is
|
||||
supplied to him by RetroArch. All he has to do is to have the emulator
|
||||
port hook into the libretro API and that's it - we take care of the rest.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
PLAYSTATION3 PORT
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
The PS3 port of RetroArch is one of the most developed console ports
|
||||
of RetroArch.
|
||||
|
||||
A couple of unique features RetroArch PS3 boasts that is not commonly
|
||||
found anywhere else:
|
||||
|
||||
- Game-aware shading in every emulator now (*)
|
||||
- Real-time rewinding
|
||||
- More shader features (motion blurring, etc)
|
||||
- Switching between emulator cores seamlessly, and ability to install new
|
||||
libretro cores
|
||||
|
||||
Included with RetroArch PS3 are a bunch of shaders - including the
|
||||
latest versions of the popular xBR shader. It is possible to use two
|
||||
shaders simultaneously to get the best possible graphical look.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

ZIP SUPPORT
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Selecting a ZIP file will temporarily unzip that file to the harddrive. The
|
||||
temporary file will be deleted as soon as the game gets unloaded and/or when
|
||||
you quit RetroArch.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: For the FBA core (and other cores that have 'block_extract' set to
|
||||
true) - selecting a ZIP file from the Filebrowser will load that game
|
||||
directly.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Troubleshooting
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
If you find that RetroArch no longer works for whatever reason, there is
|
||||
a way to get it back to work -
|
||||
|
||||
- Remove retroarch.cfg from the 'SSNE100000' folder, then start up again.
|
||||
The Libretro management service in RetroArch should automatically pick a
|
||||
random libretro core and write this to the config file.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
What can you expect in the future?
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
- Do a Blackberry Playbook/Blackberry 10 RetroArch port
|
||||
- Do an iOS port of RetroArch (will need hardware for this - gifts appreciated)
|
||||
- Make the libxenon port release-worthy.
|
||||
- Add console-friendly features (nicely formatted names for FBA, some better
|
||||
way to do core switching, etc)
|
||||
- Fix NxEngine issues on consoles
|
||||
- Finish up MAME 0.72 port
|
||||
- Finish up ScummVM port
|
||||
- Port of VICE to libretro
|
||||
- More emulators, more games that will run on RetroArch
|

RETROARCH WII - 0.9.8.3
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
RetroConsole Level: 1
|
||||
Author: Themaister, Toad King, Squarepusher/Twin Aphex
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
HOW TO INSTALL THIS
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Copy the entire directory (retroarch-wii) to your SD card in your 'apps'
|
||||
directory. Start up the Homebrew Channel and start up RetroArch Wii from
|
||||
there.
|
||||
|
||||
On first startup, RetroArch will create a folder in the root of your storage
|
||||
device called 'retroarch'. All RetroArch configuration files are stored here.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
HOW TO USE THIS
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
On first startup, RetroArch will select one of the dozen or so
|
||||
emulator/game cores. The name of the core currently loaded will be
|
||||
shown at the bottom side of the screen.
|
||||
|
||||
You can now select a ROM that this core supports and load it in the Filebrowser.
|
||||
|
||||
To select a different core - go to the Settings menu (see 'Ingame controls').
|
||||
Select the option 'Core' and hit the A button. A filebrowser will appear
|
||||
where you can select a different core. Press A to switch to the
|
||||
emulator/game core.
|
||||
|
||||
After doing so, select 'Restart RetroArch' to load the newly selected core.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
CONTROLS
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
RetroArch Wii will create a new input config file for each core you load.
|
||||
All input settings will be saved when RetroArch exits.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: When starting up a new core for the first time, you might have to first
|
||||
initialize the input settings. Go to the Settings menu (see 'Ingame controls')
|
||||
and go to 'Controller #number config'. Re-set the 'Device' by going back and
|
||||
forth between a previous device. The controls will be automatically applied.
|
||||
|
||||
This only has to be done once per core.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
INGAME CONTROLS

performance decrease but will be worth it
|
||||
if you love this feature)
|
||||
RStick Left + ZL - Decrease save state slot
|
||||
Rtick Right + ZR - Increase save state slot
|
||||

|
||||
WHAT IS RETROARCH?
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
RetroArch is a modular multi-system emulator system that is designed to
|
||||
be fast, lightweight and portable.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
WHAT IS LIBRETRO?
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Libretro is the API that RetroArch uses. It makes it easy to port games
|
||||
and emulators to a single core backend, such as RetroArch.
|
||||
|
||||
For the user, this means - more ports to play with, more crossplatform
|
||||
portability, less worrying about developers having to reinvent the wheel
|
||||
writing boilerplate UI/port code - so that they can get busy with writing
|
||||
the emulator/porting the emulator/game.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Right now it's unique in that it runs the same emulator cores on
|
||||
multiple systems (such as Xbox 360, Xbox 1, PS3, PC, Wii, Android,
|
||||
etc).
|
||||

||||
For each emulator 'core', RetroArch makes use of a library API that we
|
||||
like to call 'libretro'.
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
WII PORT
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
The Wii port of RetroArch has the following features:
|
||||
|
||||
- Real-time rewinding
|
||||
- Switching between emulator cores seamlessly, and ability to install
|
||||
new libretro cores
|
||||
|

WHAT IS RETROARCH?
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
RetroArch is a modular multi-system emulator system that is designed to
|
||||
be fast, lightweight and portable. It has features few other emulator
|
||||
frontends have, such as real-time rewinding and game-aware shading.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
WHAT IS LIBRETRO?
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Libretro is the API that RetroArch uses. It makes it easy to port games
|
||||
and emulators to a single core backend, such as RetroArch.
|
||||
|
||||
For the user, this means - more ports to play with, more crossplatform
|
||||
portability, less worrying about developers having to reinvent the wheel
|
||||
writing boilerplate UI/port code - so that they can get busy with writing
|
||||
the emulator/porting the emulator/game.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Right now it's unique in that it runs the same emulator cores on
|
||||
multiple systems (such as Xbox 360, Xbox 1, PS3, PC, Wii, etc).
|
||||
|
||||
For each emulator 'core', RetroArch makes use of a library API that we
|
||||
like to call 'libretro'.
|
||||
|
||||
Think of libretro as an interface for emulator and game ports. You can
|
||||
make a libretro port once and expect the same code to run on all the
|
||||
platforms that RetroArch supports. It's designed with simplicity and
|
||||
ease of use in mind so that the porter can worry about the port at hand
|
||||
instead of having to wrestle with an obfuscatory API.
|
||||
|
||||
The purpose of libretro is to help ease the work of the emulator/game
|
||||
porter by giving him an API that allows him to target multiple platforms
|
||||
at once without having to redo any code. He doesn't have to worry about
|
||||
writing input/video/audio drivers - all of that is supplied to him by
|
||||
RetroArch. All he has to do is to have the emulator port hook into the
|
||||
libretro API and that's it - we take care of the rest.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
XBOX 1 PORT
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
The Xbox 1 port of RetroArch has the following features:
|
||||
|
||||
- Real-time rewinding.
|
||||
- Switching between emulator cores seamlessly, and ability to install
|
||||
new libretro cores
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
EMULATOR/GAME CORES BUNDLED WITH XBOX 1 PORT
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
The following emulators/games have been ported to RetroArch and are included in
|
||||
the Xbox 1 release of RetroArch.
|
||||
|
||||
For more information about them, see the included
|
||||
'retroarch-libretro-README.txt' file.
|
||||
|
||||
- Final Burn Alpha (Arcade - various) [version 0.2.97.28]
|
||||
- Final Burn Alpha Cores (CPS1 - CPS2 - Neo - more) [version 0.2.97.28] (***)
|
||||
- FCEUmm (Nintendo Entertainment System) [recent SVN version]
|
||||
- NEStopia (Nintendo Entertainment System) [1.44]
|
||||
- Gambatte (Game Boy | Super Game Boy | Game Boy Color) [version 0.5.0 WIP]
|
||||
- Genesis Plus GX (Sega SG-1000 | Master System | Game Gear | Genesis/Mega Drive |
|
||||
Sega CD) [version 1.7.3]
|
||||
- SNES9x Next (Super Nintendo/Super Famicom) (v1.52.3) (**)
|
||||
- VBA Next (Game Boy Advance) (*)
|
||||
- Prboom (for playing Doom 1/Doom 2/Ultimate Doom/Final Doom)
|
||||
- Mednafen PCE Fast (PC Engine/PC Engine CD/Turbografx 16)
|
||||
- Mednafen Wonderswan (WonderSwan/WonderSwan Color/WonderSwan Crystal)
|
||||
- Mednafen NGP (Neo Geo Pocket Color)
|
||||
|
||||
All of the emulators listed above are the latest versions currently
|
||||
available. Most of them have been specifically optimized so that
|
||||
they will run better on Xbox 1 (some games would not reach fullspeed
|
||||
without these optimizations).
|
||||
|
||||
* - VBA Next doesn't run at fullspeed on Wii (VBA Next is a RetroConsole
|
||||
Level 2 emulator port). It will be replaced by a port of gpSP in the near
|
||||
future.
|
||||
** - SuperFX games will not run at fullspeed - a special version of SNES9x
|
||||
will be developed for Retro Console Level 1 systems.
|
||||
*** The biggest Neo-Geo ROMs that can be loaded are around 23+MB in
|
||||
size, such as Real Bout Fatal Fury 1 and King of Fighters '96.

ZIP SUPPORT
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Selecting a ZIP file will temporarily unzip that file to the harddrive. The
|
||||
temporary file will be deleted as soon as the game gets unloaded and/or when
|
||||
you quit RetroArch.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: For the FBA core (and other cores that have 'block_extract' set to
|
||||
true) - selecting a ZIP file from the Filebrowser will load that game
|
||||
directly.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Troubleshooting
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
If you find that RetroArch no longer works for whatever reason, there is
|
||||
a way to get it back to work -
|
||||
|
||||
- Remove retroarch.cfg from the 'Retroarch-XB1' folder, then start up again.
|
||||
The Libretro management service in RetroArch should automatically pick a
|
||||
random libretro core and write this to the config file.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
What can you expect in the future?
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
- Do a Blackberry Playbook/Blackberry 10 RetroArch port
|
||||
- Do an iOS port of RetroArch (will need hardware for this - gifts appreciated)
|
||||
- Make the libxenon port release-worthy.
|
||||
- Add console-friendly features (nicely formatted names for FBA, some better
|
||||
way to do core switching, etc)
|
||||
- Fix NxEngine issues on consoles
|
||||
- Finish up MAME 0.72 port
|
||||
- Finish up ScummVM port
|
||||
- Port of VICE to libretro
|
||||
- More emulators, more games that will run on RetroArch
|
||||
- Lots of other crazy ideas that might or might not pan out
