Nostalgia - Zamastyle

[Jeremy Reilloc]

Thanks for the info. Fpse's intent seems to override any settings you may have set globally and anything I don't set explicitly seems to get set to default. I am pretty sure this is by design as it would allow you to create a shortcut for a game with only the settings you set at that time. Unfortunately, that leaves me in the position of either deciding for you what settings should be used or inventing some menu to set the settings for each game. In the latest version in this thread I have set some for you (aspect and opengl) and will have to work the rest out as I go.

I installed the newest linked version of Nostalgia this morning and none of my PS1 games are opening in openGL, they're still all in software fast. I wonder if I'm running into the same problem I originally had with the settings within fpse (i.e. fpse problem, not Nostalgia). I'll be messing with it more tonight, including deleting and redownloading fpse completely, so I'll let you know if that changes anything.

Has anyone else who installed the newest version experienced this or are your games always opening in openGL?

I try SNES with 2100 roms from all country (Japan, USA, Europe) and the metadata missing only 300 rom (no bad). 50% of the game don't find cover and 10% of the game find different cover. EX: Mazinger Z find Dragonball Z cover

In the wallpaper setting menu when you have the file highlighted you should see a preview of it in tje top left corner. If you dont see that preview of your file then there is something wrong with it. It can be a jpg or a png up 1920*1080. Larger images will likely exceed memory limits for textures and be thrown out by android. Once you see the preview, set it and you should see it immediately set as the background. Then you can exit that menu and it should be the wallpaper for the rest of the app. Let me know where in this process it is bombing out. And send me the image you are trying to use by email if this fails so I can see what is going wrong.

Thanks, got it working

Most of those are save states generated by the emulators. If you send me the extensions, I will make sure they are filtered out in the next version.

Yep, looks like they are all save states from Broglia's emulators, since the default save state path is the same folder as the roms. I set all of mine to a different location now, but here are all the extensions that I've run into:

.sgm
.nc0
.ncq
.sta
.frz
.gqs
.gp
.fc0
.fcs
.nv
.ngs

Might not be a bad idea to filter those out anyways, if it's not too much trouble. Sometimes these extensions are .0A.(extension) or .00.(extension), and what seems to have happened is they were given their own .info and .jpg files as if they were roms as well.

Thanks. You can unstack the roms and then delete the metadata for those and you should be back to normal. Ill make sure those are filtered out in the next version

I just want to let everyone know that I am still working on Nostalgia and new bits and pieces are being added but because all the retroarch intents have been implemented but their release isn't public, I won't be releasing any incremental changes until they push the new version. Seriously though, we have broglia's emulators, we have the old oid emulators, we have playstation emulators. Once retroarch is onboard, its just a matter of getting the one offs for PSP and NDS and the like and Nostalgia will be able to be a one stop shop. Its getting pretty awesome.

it's already pretty darn awesome, can't wait for retroarch support! how are you going to deal with multiple systems that can use the same emulator -- for example, retroarch implements pico drive for Genesis, Sega CD, and 32x emulation. Are you going to have those 3 separate systems in Nostalgia in 3 separate tabs? Same goes for Turbografx-16 and Turbografx-CD games -- they were 2 different systems, but use the same emulator -- are you going to have 2 separate "tabs" on the left for them?

[dra6onfire]

Yes it will be the same way it is now. Each system (not emulator) will have its own section. The complicated part is letting you choose which retroarch emulator you want to use for that system. Up until now you would have an emulator that could run multiple systems but retroarch introduces the need to choose which emulator in the emulator collection should be used. It jacked with my system but it is better for it.

That system tab is getting pretty long though. I may have to rethink it a little bit at some point. And definitely add favorites lists and other convenient little pieces.

I emailed a bit with the dev of reicast(dreamcast emulator) and will be adding compatibility if all works out when testing tonight. No word back from drastic but the ppsspp devs have informed me that they arent certain if they are still going to release for ouya. They are however on board with helping me out with an intent for those of you who choose to sideload so I will be working with them on that.

An android Dreamcast emulator WITH Nostalgia support? Christmas wishes do come true!
