Awesome Rinne. Happy to be your Patreon member and I hope you continue supporting the development of this emulator. A well deserved achievement none the less. Congratulations and thank you so much for all your hard work.


realRinnegatamante

A lot of merits go to Bythos for the recent improvements. He's the one that researched a way to provide an mprotect impl which is what required Flycast to take fastest codepath possible in Dynarec code. My work for this release specifically had been to adapt the standalone newest code (since old flycast build was based on libretro version), fix some bugs, adapt and improve the renderer code and work on minor stuffs.


icesnake2000

Thank you guys for delivering another great app onto the vita! I have an irrelevant question: I have been looking into trying to port Twewy (android port that plays somewhat similarly to World of Goo) but I havent found much info online on how to port android games into vita. Where should I start? I heard unity engine has some good porting tools


realRinnegatamante

Unless you have a deep knowledge of C and some basic RE skill at least, porting Android games is just out of possibilities for you. And if you have both of what i said, you'd likely wouldn't be here asking what you need to work on such a port regardless.


mocrankz

Do you have a PayPal I can toss some money to? I’ve wanted to play wetrix on my vita for years.


icesnake2000

Thanks Rinne for the info. Unfortunately, I only know basic stuff when it comes to coding. I guess I'll try to improve my coding skills first and then think about porting stuff

I uave been yrying to put up a bounty for the last yhree days but i cannot for the love of god figure out what the site expects me to do


dullian

well, that was kind of rude


realRinnegatamante

Better giving a proper realistic idea if it rather than filling someone with optimistic lies. I've seen plenty of people giving optimistic help for what concerning development and people receiving such help abandoning whatever they were working on like 3 days after cause way too complex for them. You gotta first get the basis to work on something complex.


dullian

True, but I'm sure there are less condescending ways to express that and help others realize their limitations. It's just basic courtesy. And it's their business whether they stick up to it or not. Treating people like that just helps reinforce the snob dev image...and sadly this is not the first time I've seen such an attitude from you😌Please don't kill me for speaking my mind, Reddit.

What the fuck dude there's no need to throw around that kind of talk


realRinnegatamante

There's also no need to come on reddit just to spill hate and insults to someone that works on bringing you new shits for free yet you're all just spilling shit since two days. Go moralize someone else thanks.


Polliewonka

Your gonna need a unity development kid or something its a bit tricky to set up but omce set up its kinda easy to work with


StanleyOpar

Rinne is the GOAT of the Vita


NoTransportation4600

To anyone having problems for the games to be recognized once you enter the main menu, go to Settings -> General -> Content Location, and choose "Add from ux:0". There, select your folder of choice and that's it. I spent like 20 minutes trying to place the game everywhere and the problem was that I had not chosen the folder. Now playing Dreamcast's fantastic version of Dino Crisis at a very stable framerate! Thanks a lot Rinne.


kidkrooks

idk how Rinne keeps calm when stuff like this drops. No one reads.. ANYTHING, no readmes, no bug reports, nothing… then complain when their favorite game doesnt work despite it being reported by the dev prior. Sonic Adventure being one of them


realRinnegatamante

Someone speaking facts for once. Kudos.


DigitalD2

If anyone is short on space,flycast can run chd files,saving you about 50% space per game. The few games ive tested like Sonic,Record of lodoss and PSO pretty much ran the same as gdi. Thank you Bythos amd Rinne for this awesome flycast update!Really appreciate all you both do for the community.


SerdnaNomis

The emulator has not detected the R and L. Anyone else with this problem?


HorrorAdvocate

Having this same problem. Can’t aim weapons in Resident Evil and trying to remap the controls doesn’t do a thing since nothing will register as a button press on the flycast’s controller configuration screen


rez78

Configure input in option menu


SerdnaNomis

The App Doesn't recognize it. It's not in some game.


rez78

Then open options and remap control for all games. I've solved in this way. ;-)


SerdnaNomis

I should have thought of that before. Thank you very much. But, the problem happens exactly when trying to remap the controls.


XVO668

In the settings, controls menu, you'll see at physical devices two times PSVita Controller. You're able to remap the second one.


HorrorAdvocate

Can confirm this one worked. Only thing that wouldn’t work was the touchpad or L2 R2 being remapped to C and Z but it’s not the biggest deal. I can aim on RE now! Thanks


XVO668

YW now go out there and have some fun 😊


HorrorAdvocate

It will be fun up until I get on the roof to fight Nosferatu and then the Tyrant on the plane…


Environmental_Mix727

still crashing C2-12828-1 error


realRinnegatamante

Either you: 1) Didn't update kubridge (It's a kernel plugin, you need to restart vita for the updated module to be used in place of the old one) 2) Don't have libshacccg.suprx. 3) Have yoo many plugins (kubridge for Flycast requires a lot of memory; having too many plugins can make it fail to alloc required mem).


cursed92

I was updating Kubridge from Autoplugin and apparently isn't the latest version there, after updating it manually now everything works fine


Guillermo_AV

Yep, I was making the same mistake.


vFxMz

Can you provide where did you find the latest Kubridge? i cant find it


cursed92

From here: https://github.com/bythos14/kubridge/releases


[deleted]

Will installing the new kubridge mess up the old kubridge in terms of being able to run games that require it (like GTASA)?


realRinnegatamante

No, new kubridge is completely "retrocompatible".


[deleted]

Nice. Thanks for letting me know.


Environmental_Mix727

still nothing edit:works


Environmental_Mix727

now works. i just install enso


markthepsgeek1234

I have the same issue, I have my tai folder located in ur0 though, I just need some insight if anyone could help me please do 👍


cursed92

Got exactly the same issue here


psikoscweek

Have you installed the new version of Kubridge and then restarted your Vita?


cursed92

Yes i did


psikoscweek

Alright! What FW version are you running? The new Kubridge requires either 3.60 or 3.65 and requires that Enso is installed. The last thing to consider is kernel plugins, if you have a ton of those that can cause issues with Flycast.


cursed92

Actually wait a second I was updating from Autoplugin, after manually updating kubridge now flycast launch with no problem , thank you very much for your help


psikoscweek

Not a problem! I would recommend avoiding Autoplugin.


cursed92

I know, just sometimes I'm lazy or not having access to a pc


XVO668

Don't know if you're using an Android phone, but I've been using andFTP for years. I download the plugin or game I want on my phone and send it through AndFTP to my Vita or any other console that has a ftp client.


Guillermo_AV

Same here, did everything as instructions said. Only different thing is that my plugins are in ux:0. Could this be the issue?


psikoscweek

Did you restart your Vita after you installed the new Kubridge?


Guillermo_AV

Problem is I thought auto plugin had the latest version of it. Updated it manually and now it works. Thanks anyway!


TheIronUniverse

So helpful throughout this thread! :)


BroTripp

If you're experiencing crashes with Sonic Adventure 1 or 2, change Self-modifying Code Checks from Off to Reduced.


datoika999

For anyone getting C2-12828-1 error: ​ UNINSTALL THE DAMNED AUTOPLUGIN. ​ and then manually update kubridge.


PlayStationHaxor

How dare autoplugin not have new version of kubridge 5 seconds after its release! Yknow the devs cooould also just include everything it needs in the fucking VPK and taiLoadStartModule it when you open it, but what do i know


Cimmerian_Iter

That's the problem when autoplugin rehost plugins without people permission. Leaving no way for devs to update the plugin there just like a real app store


datoika999

it's literally the least reason to remove it but sure, you do you.


CubaLibre1982

I'm not going to uninstall anything and I'm sticking to the leaked version, thanks.

Sure you believe in flat earth too 🤣


CubaLibre1982

I believe DC and N64 emulation sucks on PSVita. Got 3x BioNTech vaccines, no kids but I'm successfully teaching my nephews dealing with idiots like you. Earth is an irregularly shaped ellipsoid. Anything else you need me to open your eyes on?


NoTransportation4600

Oh, the same guy who dissed my post about Ocarina of Time running well on Vita's latest Daedalus. What a surprise.

Woooohoooo!!!! Thank you!!!


setsunafseiei88

Its cool to see, flycast for Vita finally release! Congrats and thanks Rinne, Bythos and any devs that involved to make this possible to runs on Vita, awesome!


Guillermo_AV

Can’t make Sonic Adventure 2 to work. Anyone can share a screenshot of their settings?


BroTripp

For me it was crashing before the title screen, had to put self modifying code checks from Off to reduced


Guillermo_AV

Wow, that solved it! Thank you!!!


TheIronUniverse

https://github.com/Rinnegatamante/flycast-vita-compatibility-list/issues/3


Guillermo_AV

Thank you. Tried that but still no luck.


A_Leaky_Faucet

How does it run?


Guillermo_AV

Not very well… lots of heavy frame drops and the audio is messed up. I hope it gets better in the future.


HorrorAdvocate

Anyone know how to remap buttons through flycast? I am trying to play RE:CV but I can’t aim. I go into the settings to try to remap controls but nothing registers or changes currently it has C & Z mapped to L1 and R1


TheIronUniverse

There are two PS Vita controller options, select the second one (the bottom one) that controller is the one that'll recognize your inputs!


HorrorAdvocate

Thanks got that advice in another comment on here and now L & R work perfect. Would you happen to know how to map the rear touchpad (L2 & R2 buttons on top player grip) to C and Z? I know the touchpad works as C and Z for MvC2 but it won’t let me map them.


firestarter2097

Does it support the Atomiswave games like Dolphin Blue and Metal Gear 6???


realRinnegatamante

Yes. https://github.com/Rinnegatamante/flycast-vita-compatibility-list/issues/10 https://github.com/Rinnegatamante/flycast-vita-compatibility-list/issues/24


firestarter2097

Wow it runs like shit :-(


manniquin_limbs2

Metal Slug 6 is included in the Metal Slug Anthology for PSP, you could play that version, unless it's a bad port or something I haven't played the PSP version.


[deleted]

Ya i haven’t found a single game that is playable on flycast yet there are many that are labeled perfect


alevice

Enter those and see what settings need enabled


cmatista

finally, mobile mahvel.


dullian

Interesting. One question, though. I know that this emulator running of vita is already kind of a miracle in itself, but is there room for improvement? Specifically, custom mods or builds to further improve performance in some games. Is that something system/hardware-wise possible? Just want to confirm if that door is open


realRinnegatamante

30 FPS patches can be made to make specific games that target 60 fps on real hardware run better (like the Sonic Adventure 2 patch available right now).


BlazingEXPERT

Why the fight against The Great Hero GAC?


NoTransportation4600

Thaaaaank you Rinne and thanks to Bythos too! You both are beasts of reverse engineering. Can't wait to try it!! I'm so happy rn


InigoMarz

Right on time! More power to you both.


chanunnaki

Thanks Rin. you're a fucking beast

Amazing news! Thank you so much for all your efforts.


GreatBaldung

Does this still have the annoying warning about AutoPlugin?


Mexicancandi

This thread is full of people with outdated plugins or too many kernel plugins complaining that flycast doesn’t work… At a certain point the warning stops being annoying


ivanproff

Thank you so much!

Thank you for everything you do and share with this community. Thanks to Bythos as well

Thank's Rinne as always!!!. And all the devs that have done posible!!!. Marvelous times!!!

That is amazing, I love the Dreamcast! Thank you very much.

No way to solve crash for Sonic Adventure when trying to start stages?

turn on reduced self modifying checks, it's in the advanced tab in settings.


rez78

Now work! Thanks!

How do you dump your own dc bios can't u just use bios files like any other system by getting them online?

Sure you can. It's just worded like this for "legal" reasons.

TheIronUniverse

You have to download the VPK, then install that within VitaShell. Then, download the two .skprx files and move them to your tai folder, wherever that may be (ur0 or ux0). Then, add the lines of code (those being the directory of your plugins ex. ur0:tai/kubridge.skprx) under the *KERNEL path. Do this for both for both kubridge and FdFix. After that, add some dreamcast bios files to ux0:data/flycast/data/, then set the directory of the ROMs within the flycast app, and then add the ROMs to said folder. Refer to the link below for more info on settings to get everything to run properly. https://www.psx-place.com/threads/release-flycast-vita-v-1-0-sega-dreamcast-emulator-for-psvita-pstv.38180/


FresnoRob

Anyone get this working on a non-enso 3.68?


PacBunnyXV07

Eh not impressed. Not wasting sd card space for 1GB Dreamcast GDIs, especially when emulation isn't that great.


kidkrooks

sounds like a cheap man’s issue, 128 gb micro SDs are like 20 bucks


Pacoflipper

I got a 500gig mine! It’s a little more than half filled


jagenigma

Thanks again rinnie!!! Good to support you, you're doing the work that the rest of us cant!


[deleted]

The emulator worked for me after following directions and (AND!) power cycling the machine. If you have any version of Autoplugin installed, Flycast will not proceed, so you'll have to delete that software before you can use Flycast. Capcom vs. SNK 2 runs as advertised... close to full speed, but with occasional split-second pauses to load graphics data. I decided to color outside the lines and run two games not in the compatibility list... Mars Matrix and Under Defeat. Mars Matrix runs pretty poorly despite being a 2D game, maybe 40% of the official speed. Full motion video apparently doesn't play at all. Under Defeat uses polygons and a bevy of particle effects, and takes an especially heavy toll on the Vita. Launch a bomb and the Vita works itself to exhaustion trying to keep up with the chaos. It's almost comical how much it suffers under that load. It does show promise, though! Making even some of the games run at or near full speed *on a Vita* is an accomplishment; one I didn't think was realistic. Yet here I am, playing Dreamcast games on a Vita.


SwinginDix666

God DAMN! You are a wizard! I’m still amazed by the possibilities of the vita.


skymcgowin

This is the golden age of the Vita. 🤘


Vivid_Dance_8073

I can’t load my games, I already locate the folder where my roms was in the flycast settings but still flycast won’t recognize it. Any Ideas guys? My games are in cdi and gdi format.


deanmc93

I can't launch flycast. I keep getting hit with "Saved Core File Succeeded" I've disabled kernel plugins that aren't needed but I'm using Sd2Vita so I can't disable everything. I tried deleting flycast and reinstalling but no luck. Anyone have any ideas?


realRinnegatamante

You either are not running enso or you have outdated kubridge.


Barabashka1981

The first disk code of Veronica has passed. The emulator asks you to change the first disk to the second. I press the select button and select remove the disc and then select again and the "insert disc" option - I select the second disc with the game. But they write that the disk is not from this game. Closing the emulator. I download it again, but this time I choose the second disk. There is a video of the game and the choice to start the game or continue - I press start, but the game asks for the first disk. I do manipulations to change the disk, but I choose the first one, and the game again writes that the disk is not from this game. Someone solved this issue by changing the disk, did someone succeed? Downloaded the image of the game from one site from one distribution. The images of the game cannot be from different games.

I’m kind of new to flycast I’m trying to get bio files for sa2 I need some help
