STLcardsWS has released a nice collection of Standalone RetroArch Emulators. He used the official RetroArch 0.9.7 Release (except the Imame4all core) and also added Blackotoo's PS3 emulator uniform pack, which looks really nice on the XMB (see the video below).

Unofficial RetroArch (0.9.7) Standalone Emulators - PS3 Homebrew - YouTube

I decided to make the libretro cores of RetroArch into "standalone emulators". Many people has expressed a desire for the multi-system emulator to have the cores split up. Some of you may have done this already, it is a easy process with the design of RetroArch & the great tools this scene has provided. All the Standalone's are from the official 0.9.7 Release of RetroArch (except the Imame4all core). I used Blackotoo PS3 emulator uniform pack for most of the Images & Sounds. Below you will find some issues that occur when making these as standalone emulators. Each libretro core is a Standalone system (which is basically "eye candy" on the XMB for the cores that have multiple systems) Important Notes: These Standalone Emulators are not multiMAN/mmCM Compatible. (Booting Roms from multiMAN will not work (official 0.9.7 does), Return to multiMAN does work) These are Unofficial PKGs (However each core is from the official 0.9.7 release except IMAMe4all) IMAME4all: This libretro core was made by the RetroArch developers but it was never officially released for the PS3 as they have plans for a better MAME port in the future. So any issue that arise from this core will not be fixed or attended to as it was scrapped for the PS3) MAME 0.37b5 Romset is required Saving/Loading is broken and will not be fixed Some Games on the 0.37b5 romset will not work (part of the reason why this older port was scrapped for the PS3) For all Information regarding RetroArch please refer to the official 0.9.7 Release News from PSX-Scene.

I like the idea of separate emulators, but ...

Switching cores in retroarch was tedious so this is a worthwhile venture, I'm also happy that this guy is doing something better with his time now he isn't spending all day creating new accounts, but credit where it's due.

Tried all these on kmeaw, none of them work , get an error and thrown back to XMB. @LoboGuara would you consider having a go at doing something similar? I'm sure many including myself would appreciate it.

[haz367]

this is great stand-alone pack..missed it..thx for the share

@bropesda

it kicks back to xmb on kmeaw because the EBOOT.BIN(npdrm) is signed with 3.60 keys, the core SELF 's(APP) are signed with 3.15 keys, it's an easy fix to do on ur own

RetroArch---SNES---SSNE88888--UNOFFICIAL.pkg ( 3.60 eboot)

resigned SNES---SSNE88888 for ALL firmwares

@haz367 That must be it then, how did you fix it? Do you by chance have links to the resigned versions for 3.55?cheers

[haz367]

extract pkg
only the eboot needs fix
decrypt eboot.bin to eboot.elf
pickup a batch script some good folks have shared, adjust to ur taste if u like later on
resign the eboot.elf with "01" npdrm key as NPDRM with scetool
finally repack and go retro on ur box

if nobody has done it, i'll do it for ulater on tomorrow..to late atm..and i'm lazy

[LoboGuara]

@bropesda you can resign the eboots using TrueAncestor. As these emulators were extracted from retroarch, I'd rather not touch/distribute them. But I can help you to re-sign the eboots if you have any problems.

I believe it wouldn´t be hard to isolate the cores, but I don´t know if this would be ethical.

[haz367]

edit: decided to remove them afterall, there are 355 ones alread made by original creators

scetool.exe -v --sce-type=SELF --compress-data=TRUE --skip-sections=TRUE --key-revision=01 --self-auth-id=1010000001000003 --self-add-shdrs=TRUE --self-vendor-id=01000002 --self-type=NPDRM --self-app-version=0001000000000000 --self-fw-version=0003004000000000 --np-license-type=FREE --np-content-id=%contentid% --np-app-type=EXEC --np-real-fname=EBOOT.BIN --encrypt EBOOT.BIN.ELF EBOOT.BIN

[bropesda]

@haz367 Cheers mate will give it a go.
@LoboGuara Thanks, will try it. I don't intend to redistribute them or anything, just curious after seeing the video, and wanted to give it a go for my own PS3. BTW I just use Retroarch anyway
