Download last Retroarch stable from xbins.org: link (v1.9.0 - August 2020 old and SDK Sony version)
Update or add manually cores:

FBNeo core: Link
Atari800 core: Link (put atari800_libretro.info inside info folder)
BlueMSX core: Link (put bluemsx_libretro.info inside info folder)
PUAE core: Link (put puae_libretro.info inside info folder)
DosBox-SVN core: Link (put dosbox_libretro.info inside info folder)
Vice64 core: Link (put vice_x64_libretro.info inside info folder)
Fuse core: Link
Mednafen PCE core: Link (put mednafen_pce_libretro.info inside info folder)
Hatari core: Link (put hatari_libretro.info inside info folder)
Cannonball core: Link [Update - Multipass shaders OK]
mGBA core: Link (put mgba_libretro.info inside info folder) [Update - Downgrade to 0.8.1 last one working on real PS3 hardware]
(mgba: if you have ps3 pad problems then Load Core -> Nintendo - Game Boy Advance (mGBA) -> Settings ->Input -> Port 1 Controls -> Device Type -> RetroPad and after ->Save Controller Profile)
Gearboy core: Link [Update - Multipass shaders OK]
Snes9x core: Link [Update - Multipass shaders OK]

A good idea is update EBOOT.BIN Link [Updated with 3.55 keys]

If this is your first time using one of those cores, I strongly recommend that you study how they work on your PC.

FAQ for Dummies:
1) Does XXXX core need firmware inside system folder?
  • Open xxxxx._libretro.info with a texteditor. Look for firmware_count, firmwareN_desc, firmwareN_path, firmwareN_opt... ect ect.
    firmwareN_opt = "false" mean YES... it needs that firmware.
    For example atari800 need only one bios/firmware file:
    • firmware_count = 1
    • firmware0_desc = "5200.rom (5200 BIOS)"
afirmware0_path = "5200.rom"
    • firmware0_opt = "false"
SHADERS!!!
Tested all shaders and added more.... remove your old shaders folder (or ignore it) and put that one attached here!!

Work in progress.......

@Crystal , a Gigantic thanks!

@Louis Garry , I might be wrong but I guess atari800 core will need those 5 BIOS in system folder.

@Crystal , Simple Question: I've encounter issues with Hatari, Fuse (ZX Spectrum) and Vice 64 Cores. I do not know if those cores are non RA 1.9.0-compatible.
In the meantime ,I've been searching for Standalone Emulators but since there are too old pkgs, they need to be resigned for CFW/HFW 4.86 HEN, and I do not have the expertise yet to solve that issue.

Do you know if theres a working fork for RA-Hatari and Vice64 that works for 1.9.0?

Got it, thanks mate.

uhm, just to report some "feedback", but I've experiencing freezing in Core menu. I've load other cores to move around and check if theres something weird, but when I select for instance, atari800 or Dosbox SVN, after 5 seconds of activity the system gets freezed, kinda weird.

Vice 64, no freezing problems

Maybe I'm stupid, BIOS 5200.rom is already in the system folder, but all the ROMs Atari 800 (5200) don't work (looks like the picture).
 
Im happy this thread went public, dudes dont doubt in using this cores, @Crystal is doing great progress latelly in PS3 emulators in general, but also in fixing retroarch problems, eventually his fixes will be acepted in the official retroarch project (lets hope)
But in the meantime, this cores (and this thread) is RetroArch Next :D

Questions

1.- Since theres an update for Fuse and Medna Core, there has been no change for the first batch of cores, am I right?
2.- Netplay in 1.9.0, sometimes works, sometimes dont. There's not much info out there regarding setting up this feature for RA-PS3. Have you had the chance to analyse this feature?

Best Regards.

News was mednafen and shaders.
There was things that i never touched or just taken into consideration, such as net play and shaders. At least now shaders are ok.

After putted 5200.rom inside system folder and started a 5200 game, you could have this:
upload_2020-11-27_10-36-1.png


Go to in game menu -> options -> Atari System and set 5200 system
upload_2020-11-27_10-37-28.png


Restart that game ....

Eventually check file atari800.cfg inside system directory, it should have this line:
ROM_5200=/dev_hdd0/game/SSNE10000/USRDIR/cores/system/5200.rom

You know, after copying all atari 800 BIOS, I did not set the Machine system.

I had atari romset (.atr) and it runs pg

Are you trying to load .a52 games?
