RetroArch Unofficial Gets Updated To 0.9.8 Beta 3


Submitted by Demonchild; December 01, 2012

The multiplatform emulator for the PS3 known as RetroArch receives an update from the several developers putting in work. Squarepusher and the rest of the team working on the RetroArch emulator released version 0.9.8 earlier today featuring three new cores. Unfortunately with the addition of the three, one has been taken out from the emulator package. Take a quick look at what's happening:

 

New Cores:

  • Mednafen_VB - Nintendo Virtual Boy
  • Mednafen_Neopop - NeoGeo Pocket & Pocket Color
  • Mednafen_PSX - Playstation 1

 

Removed Cores:

  • iMame4All - REMOVED, NO LONGER SUPPORTED

 

Notes:

  • Final Burn Alpha - Based on version 0.2.97.26. Make sure you have the right ROMs or you will have problems.
  • Genesis-Plus-GX - Sega CD Emulation requires a sega cd bios in the same folder as your ISO / BIN files. The BIOS ROM files be named BIOS_CD_J.bin (Japan), BIOS_CD_U.bin (US) and BIOS_CD_E.bin (Europe)
  • Mednafen_PCE - PCEngine / Turbo Grafix CD Emulation requires the PCE CD BIOS to be in the same folder as the ROM you are trying to load. It needs to be named SYSCARD3.PCE
  • Mednafen_PSX - Only runs at 18 - 25 FPS & will not perform better without a dynarec. Requires the following BIOS files in the RetroArch system folder: scph1001.bin, scph5500.bin, scph5501.bin, scph5502.bin & scph7502.bin.

 

Since this is an "unofficial beta" release, there may be bugs existent. However, if everything goes well, an official build will be compiled and released. The only other issue that hasn't been noted above is that this build should work on all CEX custom firmwares except for geohot's & wutangrza's 3.55 firmwares. You can download the unofficial beta build below.

This was not released by Squrepusher. This is the work of squarepusher and the RetroArch developers but is a compile done by pete_uk from the public git(that what makes it unofficial) pete_uk is who released the update. (but this is none of his work other then compiling this so it can be installed on the ps3)

Squarepusher will release 0.9.8 officially at a later date. I'm sure there will be changes and additions, this serves as a preview and helps with finding bugs so the official release can be as stable as possible.
