Hello my dear,

First of all i would like to thank you for this great tutorial.

I've followed all of your steps and everything is ok but the Flycast and the Dolphin's cores you're providing doesn't worked for me as they doesn't even load. Any help would be appreciated. Best regards

Sorry for the issue. I think I've identified the cause of this problem, which others have noticed as well. Tomorrow I will test the potential solution, and if it works I will change the guide.

I have tested it on my side, and changing the cores used to build RetroArch seems to have fixed the problem. Some of the cores built by the Libretro buildbot are not currently functional on Xbox, so I have changed the cores download link. These working, older cores will be used for now until Libretro fixes its buildbot.

Can you please try rebuilding RetroArch with the cores that are now provided in step 3.6 and see if that fixes the issue?

That's unfortunate. I'll take another look and see if I can find the problem.

Unfortunately, Citra isn't functional at the moment and won't be for some time. I might be able to get it to work eventually, using just software rendering, but it will be very slow. I think I've fixed the issues with Dolphin, PCSX2, and Flycast. Some dependencies were missing from the solution. Please try again, using the new instructions in steps 3.3 and 3.13, and let me know if the problems persist.

For Dolphin, please make sure to select the dxd12 or dxd11 graphics driver. Flycast should use the gl graphics driver.

Is this after you reassociated the source code with your Microsoft account in VS?

Hello Nun-z,

Many thanks for your work. Unfortunatly i have the same problem with cores, i have compilated and published Retroarch with no problems (release AngleX64) however when i try to load Flycast or pcsx2 i retrurn on main menu with no core loaded (no error message). I have tested others versions of flycast dll but i am still stuck. Do you have an idea how to resolve the problem ?

Did you install the BIOS files? Both of those cores need BIOS before they will run. Here's the BIOS info for flycast (https://docs.libretro.com/library/flycast/). The BIOS for PCSX2 needs to go in the RetroArch/system/PCSX2/bios directory.

Ok i will try it, i must do it after install using the FTP Server ?
I am asking because i haven't found system folder in pkg\msvc-uwp\RetroArch-msvc2017-UWP

Thanks for your help :D

The easiest way to do that is through an FTP app. Try using this one: (https://github.com/Dantes-Dungeon/DURANGO-FTP). In order to get it to work, you will need to make the changes listed here: (https://github.com/Nun-z/DURANGO-FTP/commit/c31922f63858f094be93fd94eb981ac0056551fb).

It is something that needs to be done after installation rather than before creating the package.

I already use DURANGO FTP but i have just modified "Package.appxmanifest".
Another things, when i navigate with the FTP Client (before changes listed on Nun-z/DURANGO-FTP@c31922f) in S:\Program Files\WindowsApps\ i see all apps (like games on my Xbox but i can't see RetroArch even if i think is the correct location.
I don't understand why :(

Use the LocalState option in the FTP app to go directly to the list of packages in the Q drive.

Hi Nun-z,
I have placed all bios files on LocalState/system however i'm still stuck because the cores won't loaded.
I think a little something is wrong but i don't know what.
In fact i see cores in the list and for exemple if i choose Dreamcast, i'm go back to the main menu, on the bottom it is written "1.9.0msvc2019-No core"...

Do you have an idea ?

Regards,

Speedloader

Did you use Visual Studio 2017 or 2019? It's possible that a RetroArch change may have made 2019 mandatory. I'm going to test this to see if that's correct.

I use VS2019, i can't test myself with 2017 because my HDD is too small and almost full ! Thanks for your help :D

Huh. Maybe the core is old? I'll try it with the newest one I can find that supports ANGLE and also try to compile it myself.

I had success with Dolphin on an older core.

I also had success with Desmume 2015 using the latest core.

PCSX2, Swanstation, and PPSSPP are non-functional, even with the newest cores. I'm working on those at the moment.

Very nice ! You have created the package (like on your guide) with VS2019 and add/replace cores files in the cores folder ?

Yup, exactly. I did use RetroArch's repo rather than mine, though.

Use RetroArch-msvc2017-UWP.sln instead of RetroArch-msvc2019-UWP.sln.

The bounty was claimed and the issue was resolved. I've updated the cores link with new, working, PCSX2, Dolphin, and Swanstation cores. I also updated the .dll link, which should fix any problems with other Xbox-compatible cores.
