Jeff GrubbHOST
Yeah, I don't know.
Jeff GrubbHOST
I also think I updated Retroarch and the game ran better.
Jeff GrubbHOST
So I don't know.
Jeff GrubbHOST
I also felt like that might have helped a little bit.
Cary GolombGUEST
I don't know.
Cary GolombGUEST
So the only thing that I would comment on, and my knowledge on this is dated, and a lot of it comes from when RetroArch was still pretty early on.
Cary GolombGUEST
So this is probably almost 10 years ago, so...
Cary GolombGUEST
Fairly dated at this point.
Cary GolombGUEST
But there was discussions about...
Cary GolombGUEST
Because they were starting...
Cary GolombGUEST
This is when RetroArch was first starting to support iOS.
Cary GolombGUEST
And they had dev stuff of it, but it wasn't on the store and all this other stuff.
SulHOST
[laughs] Well, it's that.
SulHOST
I think, in fact, Retroarch locked up on me.
SulHOST
But it is that, isn't it? [laughs] Let me, let me stop you there.
SulHOST
[laughs]
WerewolfHOST
Yeah, let's go ahead and jump into that first, because I have never actually looked into this process and you made it sound like it's a nightmare.
Sick JakeHOST
Yeah, it's, you know, we're kind of spoiled these days because, I mean, we're in the world of RetroArch, right, or EmuDeck, or even BizHawk, where these multi-system emulators are so easy to install and run.
Sick JakeHOST
Like, I think even RetroArch is even on Steam these days.
Sick JakeHOST
It's super easy to get going.
Sick JakeHOST
And...
JoeyHOST
So I was, it was like 50 FPS on the bottom screen, just doing UFO test and like nothing on the top screen and then swapping it, same sort of idea.
JoeyHOST
And so when I run Retroarch and YouTube or whatever, I'm seeing dips and all of that across things.
JoeyHOST
So it can't multitask.
JoeyHOST
It literally can't multitask, which would be one of the main benefits over the AmberNIC RG DS+.
ThrakHOST
So if you go to certain parts of the castle, the game makes you swap discs.
ThrakHOST
And I was so worried with 4DO because I was like, oh, how's this going to handle it? Because for some reason, Saturn and PS1 disk swapping in RetroArch is a pain in the ass.
ThrakHOST
I have no idea why.
ThrakHOST
But with 4DO, thankfully, I just loaded up disk 2 right when it said 2, and it worked.
RussGUEST
And so it's just kind of crazy.
StubbsHOST
Remember the first time you saw a RetroArch? This is a good comment.
StubbsHOST
About 10 years later in 2015, I scared RetroArch.
StubbsHOST
I read that it was awesome.
StubbsHOST
I tried it and was like, whoever designed this is on LSD, and I walked
7 MINS LATER
RussGUEST
Wi-Fi in my device when most people do not.
RussGUEST
That was the start and then I was there for the guides for the beginning of that.
RussGUEST
That was my first time using Emulation Station and RetroArch.
Xander ScullionHOST
Yeah, well, I remember we were talking about Retro Bad, and, you know, I had a problem with my Bada Sarah, like, USB stick.
Xander ScullionHOST
It, like, got corrupted, and I was like, so then I was like, I want to get through Retro Arch.
Xander ScullionHOST
You know, just use the front end of Retro Arch.
Xander ScullionHOST
I'll learn it and stuff like, because Retro Arch is, it's easy, but there's a lot of, like, customization that, like, screw things up if you don't know what you're doing.
Xander ScullionHOST
Retrobat, what's nice about it is it's Windows-based, and yeah, it's just plug-and-play, just like Botocera is, but the difference is with Botocera, you have to use, like, it kind of takes over your PC, so you put that little USB in there, and all of a sudden, it's like Retrobat, but that's all it is.
Xander ScullionHOST
You can't go into Windows.
Russ CrandallHOST
And so he went in and systematically went through a bunch of different shaders and made sure that they all worked correctly with PixelAA.
Russ CrandallHOST
Now, if you go into RetroArch and you update your slang and GLSL shaders, the PixelAAA one should play nicely with a lot of these shaders that I like.
Russ CrandallHOST
A good example is Simple Text.
Russ CrandallHOST
So that was one where it gives you this really kind of unique look.
MickHOST
I know you've been thinking about it.
DaltonHOST
I want to pull the RetroArch clause and do Jak and Daxter for the show.
MickHOST
That would be fun.
MickHOST
It wouldn't be the first time I played a game on RetroArch.
MickHOST
In fact, probably on that handheld for the podcast, because that's how I played Metal Gear Solid 2, and it was a really nice experience.
MickHOST
I quite enjoyed it.
