The RetroArch emulator hadn't been working for who knows how long. I've had many people request me to get it fixed and so now it's finally fixed. Far bigger project than I had anticipated but I hope the time invested was worth it

HALLELUJIAH! I don't think it has worked for at least two years I'm glad I won't have to use Emulator JS anymore I miss fast forwarding the exposition


But I checked a few games and the green button isn't showing up keep in mind most of these are from games I have frequented most

classgame : It currently only works with 1.16 version. Could you give examples of games it doesn't work for?

well it's not working on either Firefox or Chrome

the game I most recently clicked on Looney Tunes collector doesn't have the green button show up, now unless you were referring to the emulator in the RGR plugin it's still not working in the browser

classgame : Which Looney Tunes game?

Davideo7 : Looney Tunes Collector Alert for Game Boy Color

classgame : Ok I see the issue. It's not auto selecting a Core. I'll try to get that fixed tomorrow.

classgame : It should be fixed now. Thanks for letting me know. I'm going to wait for you to verify that things are working for you before I announce this again.

Well I have checked the Simpsons Arcade game and I am happy to report that not only is it working but it's working better than it has in a very long time like there's no lagging issues that I have been hearing. I can even try and resume a project I had to abandon years ago because of the issues, also there is a game that is surprisingly gaining traction in my annual coin-op gaming poll it would be nice to actually film the gameplay of it in the event it wins the main one next month

classgame : I actually just added the latest version of RetroArch. After a day's worth of work, I got it working great. I still gotta test out every compatible system in it but it should be ready to be the default version by tomorrow. It's been a very long time since the version of RetroArch on Vizzed has been updated so I'm excited to see what new features it has and if it supports any new systems.

1.20.0 and 1.19.1 are in the dropdown as well and they should work now too. They've actually been in there for well over a year but I never made them default because I wasn't able to get them to work until recently. Pretty exciting.

I think we're back to square one because when I tried to launch Vendetta to test it wouldn't load and no green button

Testing consoles with various options.

Unless specifically mentioned all testing attempts will use the first option under every drop down menu for Retroarch.

Sorry for not doing every system but time is short right now. Will test more later but at least for now that covers quite a few systems and games that people might be interested in playing.

I think some Atari games are getting dropped from the site, and I don't know how long the Ken Griffey Jr Game boy Color game has been blocked for but that's news to me, I mean Pokemon, Donkey Kong, Kirby and Marion I understand but a random game like that


seriously though this is what I saw this morning when I checked to see if things were still working



I tell ya if it ever gets to be online again I'm finishing the Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon project pronto, playing the procrastination game has cost me alot of time

Hey man did you try using emulatorJS? It seems to be the only way Atari is working right now.
I can do some more testing later to see if its all Atari games or just the ones I tested.

Best Regards,
Utopia

Utopia570 : No I see on some games the block that says "This game is not playable because of Atari" kind of like that thing that says it can't be played because it was removed by Nintendo of America

Continuation of my testing results post.

GG
Retroarch does not work, tested many games and versions.
EmulatorJS working.
EDIT: Missing cores?

Sega CD
Retroarch not working, I think the problem is missing cores.
EmulatorJS working

Famicom
Retroarch not working failed to load properly (72% thing again)
EmulatorJS works

Atari Lynx
(Ninja Gaiden)
Retroarch failed to load again
EmulatorJS works

(Rampage)
Same as Ninja Gaiden

Atari 7800
Retroarch not working (Missing Core)
EmulatorJS works

NEC Systems
They either don't use Retroarch or are missing Cores

Colecovision

EmulatorJS works

Neo Geo Pocket

That's all for now. This should be a more complete list in regards to Retroarch as most of the others not covered here don't include it as an option.

Utopia

So yes I'm seeing a couple of things what Utopia here saw from my end Nintendos seem to be working except for Game Boy Advanced the load bar is stuck at 72%, Sega Genesis seems to work great for me but not the Master Systems (also stuck at 72%) Game Gear also has it (probably because it's from the same code as the Master System or something like that) the Mames are loading but I still get the graphic except I see the load thing at 82% (I checked multiple Mames, Vendetta, Simpsons, Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon, both Ninja Turtle games, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs essentially all the punching side scrollers I want to play have that load bar that won't go away and it obscures the view a bit and darkens the screen)

I hate to bring this up because now I feel nitpicky but at the same time I know you want them to work again

classgame : What version did you do your tests in?

Utopia570 : Nice thorough testing. Did you happen to try out version 1.22.2?

Davideo7 : not sure where and how can I check which version is in use would you tell me?


Oh wait I was able to see in the address bar....so do I just change it up in the address bar or something? oh wait guess I can't do that even if I do type that in anyway, either way it would be a good time to figure out how to fix this if I can do it on my end

Vendetta: 1.16.0

Both TMNT games: 1.16.0

Simpsons: 1.16.0

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs: 1.16.0

Final Fight: 1.16.0


oddly enough the Game boy Color games do use 1.16.0 and they're working fine

this is how I saw where I found the version

classgame : Before you press playgame right under it is a bunch of dropdown menus. One of them should be for version so you can manually select.
