I can do more than emulation on my PC

>>713292776
MiSTer is equivalent to dozens of original consoles, all RGB modded, and all with everdrives, plus a Retrotink 4k, but all in one small and convenient form factor. Even just the Retrotink 4k, which MiSTer basically has built in, will run you more than a MiSTer alone. But then MiSTer also supports basiclly every USB controller in existence, rebinding, turbo, and enhancements/QoL features that original hardware doesn't. All with accuracy and input lag identical to original hardware, with support for both CRT and HDTVs that just works flawlessly with no tinkering or headache

>>713292640 (OP)

Thatis fair though you can use authentic controllers with the wii too, with the right adapters. I use a SNES one on mine. You should get the mouse controller for that SNES to play Mario Paint

This is for people who can't enjoy games unless they're piggybacking off the dopamine of spending money.

>emulator
:/
>emulator in a box
:O

>>713297715
It's funny how this is their pitch, but then when a new "core" drops it's full of issues, games straight up don't work and they have to make a bunch of workarounds for shit to barely function.
It's essentially an emulator for midwits, most cores are based on emulator code + documentation converted to VHDL/Verilog, very few are actual accurate, circuit implementations.

>>713292640 (OP)
>paying for an emulator that doesn't emulate as many games as a free one, nor does it do it any better or with any less input lag. Plus it has far less features.

The great divide is failures to launch (read: losers) who still live at home and can't have a dedicated space for physical media. They hide in the rooms all day and avoid their families out of shame, so the PC MUST do everything.
When you own your own space (read: a well adjusted, normal person) you genuinely prefer to have a dedicated series of video game consoles. PC is fun with friends, or long-form visual novels, but you can't really beat a console experience. Physical media wins every time.
I look forward to the retarded NEETs that dwell here to come tell me to go fuck myself. I own a comfortable PC that can run modern games on ULTRA, I still prefer a seated living room experience for my kino.

I'm an adult who lives alone, after having a shelf dedicated entirely to vidya and other consoles, it's kind of embarrassing to think about collecting plastic shit. Video games don't give the fulfillment of a real hobby or craft, they're just time wasters. Story? Not as good as books or films. Visuals? Not as good as high art. Music? Not as good as classical or other dedicated music performances. Video games are the worst of all worlds. There's a reason they're perceived as being childish. So no anonymous, you aren't any better for having your gay pride shelf visible for all to see vs. being a repressed fag in your mother's basement.

While I do software emulation myself, runahead/preemptive frames aren't exactly without tradeoff. They cause slight occasional audio crackling on some cores, usually the more demanding ones.

>>713300542
hell yeah

>>713300542
zsnes's UI truly takes me back like 20 years, beautiful formative memories tied to this emulator

>>713300627
You are probably overdoing it, you only need 2 frames to already be slightly faster than real hardware for most platforms. And the crackling/rollback is on your hardware not being fast enough.

there is nothing stopping you from playing PC games in a comfortable seat. I have a recliner in front of my desk and it's great. I could also just run an HDMI cord to my TV and play on my couch too, if I wanted. Only time I think not playing on PC is better is if you're playing older console games, as you'd be better off playing them on a CRT.

>>713301982
Let me put it simply for you, since you're a bit retarded: I already had my PC before I ever heard of this emulator box. My PC can do other things. Nowhere did I imply I never paid for it. Hope this helps, retard.

Another shill thread
Didn't you learn your lesson last time

Why do people like RetroArch so much? I personally can't stand the dogshit UI

No one should have to spend $350-plus to discover that most retro games simply aren't worth playing. I can tell you that right now for free.

The only people that will find any enjoyment playing fucking Jetpac for ZX Spectrum are those who played it as children in the 80s. Without the nostalgia factor, most retro games are just clunky, irritating. archaic wastes of time.

There is no reason to go back and play platformers, shmups, fighting games, or FPSs with half-baked mechanics that were perfected years later. No game in any of those genres tells a story worth a damn. If you want a compelling narrative, which is the only reason you should emulate a game, you've got to play JRPGs, SRPGs, VNs, and adventure games. Since those genres are all menu-based, they don't require low-latency inputs or expensive open-source paper weights.

the 3 frame RA is skipping a frame of animation. In theory there shouldn't be a difference between the lag between button press and action on 2 vs 3 frame RA, so I'm not sure why there is here.

>not running on original hardware
ewwwwwwwwwwwwww

>>713310368
actually it's skipping 2 frames, so there shouldn't be a difference between any of them.

>>713309905
>>713310368
>>713310519
It's never recommended to use run-ahead as it increases input lag variance for slightly lower raw input lag. It's also not accurate to original hardware, has limited implementation depending on internal game lag and how intensive it is to run, and can cause various issues

The only rare edge case in which it may be worth it (and even then, not really), is games that are easy to run accurately, have significant inherent gameplay lag (5+ frames), and where reactions are more important than timing. In these case, the raw input lag improvement is so large that it could (arguably, but not really) outweigh the increase in input lag variance that it brings.

Also run-ahead is not going to remove any inherent lag from your setup or V-Sync lag, which will usually be 2-3 frames at least. So no, you are almost certainly not getting original hardware/MiSTer CRT level input lag, and you certainly aren't getting that level of input lag consistency either.

Meh, I prefer using real hardware
I don't think it's perfect if it keeps needing updates

less than 5(?) cores are the type of emulation where it's referencing the chip design instead of the i/o response
the rest are just highly paralleled software emulation utilizing hardware

input delay is still more consistent than software emulation on windows any day of the week though

I was thinking something that wouldn't normally be finished in a single 1-3 hour session, and preferably not a sequel. I've been streaming and making vids of these games so I'd like to feature something new. I haven't done a GBC title. Outside of Zelda and JRPG's, I guess most lengthier games will come with more advanced systems. That being said, an anon has suggested to me a game called Great Greed on GB and it looks cool, so maybe I'll do that. Or maybe I'll replay SaGa...although I recall that game being stupid difficult and very easy to soft lock

computer cores do a lot of random writes, sd cards hate when you do a lot of random writes and like to corrupt

I actually do have a dedicated mini-pc just for movies and games. Very practical for family and friends. Still, it is just a weaker 2nd pc and I feel that breaks your idea of needing a device for every console with their own set of controllers and power adapters and shelf of games that collect dust and take up space. I ain't doing that shit. I could have had that life but the truth is I felt better getting rid of that fischer price looking junk. Seriously I cannot emphasize enough the shitty reality of managing all those cables and cleaning behind the shelves and storing crates of controllers and games. Not my pic but this is how I feel whenever I think about my old physical collection.

I looked up the price for this "mister" and it's almost $500. My mini-pc costs the same and can do more and emulate every gen up to and including the Switch. So why would I EVER settle for your stupid shill crap?

I don't knock anyone for keeping their games, especially in the all digital future, I just don't need to have more than the handful of games I'm actually nostalgic for. Games were the first thing to go when I was downsizing my media hoard.

Based great mouse detective poster

I’m at the point where I don’t know if a gpu is worth it because I only have a 750w power supply and after half a year of gaming isn’t the CPU kind of getting bad at this point as well? Will probably need a new cpu at some point with a new power supply if I’m going to get a 4090. Wouldn’t a new card just run like shit on a stock power supply?

Same here, anon. After the 4th time dusting off shelves of plastic just to not touch 90% of it again, I realized it was more museum than hobby. Everdrives, ODEs, and a MiSTer now run everything I actually want to play. I still keep a few carts around for the feel, but I don’t need 30 different copies of Madden haunting me like ghosts of garage sales past.

Console/sofa gaming is easier to co-op with. Hell some games on PC don't have local co-op, while their switch versions do. Some like Zeno Clash 2 cannot even run on local co-op.
All this pseudo-idea garbage while the true divide is sofa vs desk gaming.

>mister is one of those you-gotta-assmble-it-yourself projects
I get for the handheld one, but why would you do it for a console if you don't care about accuracy?
Still I am tempted, to help teach me how to work with this sort of stuff. Plus I can setup some HHDs/flash cards and get a dedicated emulator player, which can save me space/let me game easier on the go in the living room.

>>There is no reason to go back and play platformers, shmups, fighting games, or FPSs with half-baked mechanics that were perfected years later. No game in any of those genres tells a story worth a damn. If you want a compelling narrative, which is the only reason you should emulate a game, you've got to play JRPGs, SRPGs, VNs, and adventure games. Since those genres are all menu-based, they don't require low-latency inputs or expensive open-source paper weights.
Nah fake video game person all these genres have good games you story only people are the reason why we had a decade plus of nothing but fucking interactive movies

I never noticed a problem with it ever. Seeing this pic takes me back to high school when we would use the netplay feature to play mortal kombat in computer class when there was downtime or a holiday coming up

>>713292640 (OP)
Actually I just have an emulation PC which fulfills the exact same purpose (except it also runs PS2 and shit).

>>713347472
ALl of that, and then it had the thickest fucking bezel around its screen and the retard played games in the wrong aspect ratio.

>>713311664
Yeah you need to use some USB-C to VGA or DP to VGA adapter to get native res output instead.

>>713355183
>thickest fucking bezel around its screen
Akshually as much as I hate Nintendo, they are ultra based for not falling for the muh bezelless screen to body ratio meme.

Legit, what games do you even play? I'm a freelance artist and that's entirely because I grew up playing square enix games. If you've mostly spent your time playing live-service shit, then no shit you're gonna be left empty.

>>713293220
>implying retrotinks aren't a massive meme

>>713356814
I can understand the appeal of having larger bezels on a device mainly using a touch screen like a phone or tablet, but I see no advantage for a handheld console. You already hold a Switch by the joycons.

>>713358112
Not even PS2??? This just seems like a novelty for people to wowza over for a second and then forget about.

>>713358364
I don't understand people's hateboner for bezels. Like, I don't give a damn if they're there, in fact, it is much better than having a screen with curved edges you can't put a normal screen protector on, or having a fucking punch hole in the screen.

>>713358408
you want steam deck for that

>>713358480
Like I said, phones are different from a handheld console.

>>713358594
But I mean when you look at the switch oled, you surely can't complain about the bezels being too thick

>>713358685
The OLED bezels are pretty much perfect IMO. Huge improvement over the OG's chunky borders.

is it an special edition or something?

>>713358921
I just wish the original had a nicer screen in general. I don't have a problem with the size, but again, making it a bit bigger was a good decision.

>>713359540
A bigger screen is good or a smaller console is good, having a big console with a small screen is the worst of both worlds. Personally the Switch's size already irked me, being bigger than any other Nintendo console.

>>713359751
I never had a problem with the size.
But on that note, I wish the Switch 2 stayed on 720p and the same screen size because on a portable console that is plenty.

>>713360119
I like my handhelds to be pocketable, but the Switch won't really fit in anything smaller than a backpack.
>I wish the Switch 2 stayed on 720p and the same screen size because on a portable console that is plenty.
I agree, actually. A lot of people shit on the Switch's graphics but 720p is actually fine for portable play - I just wish it would consistently achieve native resolution.

>>713360376
>720p is actually fine for portable play
You're not wrong, but higher resolution is undeniably better. Portable gaming is probably my favorite way to play games and I'd like it to be the best experience possible

>>713361048
I'd honestly rather have better battery life.

>>713335991
If you enjoy higher input lag you have brain damage, objectively.

>>713360376
>>713361048
Higher framerate and better battery life are a lot more important than screen resolution. Adding MUH HDR to the mix is especially insulting, like who the fuck asked for that.

>>713361627
Nothing wrong with having HDR (or 120Hz), but having a dogshit blurry LCD screen when the previous gen had an OLED is retarded.

>>713292640 (OP)
stop buying the fucking cubes your pc can emu just fine

>>713298502
>When you own your own space (read: a well adjusted, normal person) you genuinely prefer to have a dedicated series of video game consoles. PC is fun with friends, or long-form visual novels, but you can't really beat a console experience. Physical media wins every time.
So why are you shilling a piratebox instead of having 2 gorillion consoles?

Proper English dictates that in writing, numbers, e.g., 2, should be used with technical and objective information. Numerals, e.g., two, should be used for descriptions as descriptions.

>>713361372
>>713361627
I never take my handheld outside of my home and I'm always near an outlet. Battery life means nothing to me.

isn't the MiSTer the path of least resistance when it comes to playing on an actual CRT?

>>713364789
i mean, besides playing on actual hardware, but it's basically a bunch of consoles wrapped up into one little box and almost undiscernible from a real console in performance, so you don't have to take up space with a bunch of real consoles + buy actual games or a flashcart

>>713364789
yeah it's probably the easiest way to get analog video output actually.
