Flycast on Switch Physical switch controller problems?! #1098

Open koy168hk opened 2 years ago

koy168hk commented 2 years ago

For stand alone Flycast emulator. In the control setting, i can only see 2 switch controller for port A and Port B. other devices i can set is Keyboard/default mouse.

So i can only use 2 physical switch controller to play a game. I want to use 4 physical switch controller to play a game for power stone 2. But i don't know how can i do that.

Can anyone teach me, how to increase the switch controller in controls setting?

Already do lots of search in google, still cannot find the solution.

However, when i use RetroArch to start the flycast core, i can use all 4 physical switch controller to play a game. ( but i cannot upscale the game resolution in retroarch but i can upscale the game resolution in standalone Flycast emulator.

So please teach me 1: how to increase up to 4 switch controller in standalone flycast emulator. 2: Any method to upscale the internal resolution in retroarch emulator.

either solve 1 or 2 is good for me.

thank you all of you for reading my post.

I find the solution for question 2.

2: Any method to upscale the internal resolution in retroarch emulator.

There are no setting we can find in the retroarch emulator setting menu even video setting. ( i cannot find it), even you change the scale, the internal resolution still not change.

We need to open the file system via computer. the location path is retroarch/config/Flycast/Flycast.opt. use the notepad to open this file Flycast.opt and find the internal_resolution inside. The default is reicast_internal_resolution = "640x480". we need to change it to reicast_internal_resolution = "1920x1440". After that restart a game, you will find a very nice game display!!!!

I suggest to set 1920x1440, i tested. game play still very smooth. If upscale to higher resolution, you may got lag in game play. ( but you can try it and let us know your best setting).

Still waiting any solution for question 1 even my problems settled. Thank you for reading it.
