The full round-sprite hack fixes a lot of the text box lines, but there's no work around for the FMV garbage except for using <=2x uprezzing. No one ever claimed GSDX was good or was ever good, lol. ParallelGS is the only way upward and doesn't have this issue. Also, the polygonal title in that metallic N64ish flat shaded style is so kino. More games should have that.

Someone should absolutely be torturing and harassing Refraction until he merges PGS in. This is so fucking stupid. I just about want to make a sock, call him a stupid faggot for refusing to put it in, and eating the ban.

To me, Refraction stamping his stupid foot about TheMaister mogging him and fucking his users over by eschewing his work is far worse than any case against Mattzek.

Can hackers really take over my system through my Nintendo 64 emulator?

>>526237414
In theory, someone would have to make one hell of a ROM that could break the sandbox and execute shit without your system. Pretty unlikely, though.

I don't get it? Is it because his guilt by association? Then pcsx2 should also get its Vulkan renderer removed because of Hans-Kristian's contributions to the standard.

This looks like Final Fantasy art.

>>526237414
>>526238656
Yeah, the whole thing was overblown. It would take a very dedicated malicious autist and profound mental retardation on your own part to get your PC hacked through Project64. That said, you still shouldn't use it because it's outdated shit, unless you happen to want to play an old ROM hack that was built for it (or, seemingly, Kaze's hacks for whatever reason).

>haven't used dolphin in years

god damn it

The opening logo screen in Slam Dragon (Japan) is broken in both duckstation and mednafen. Neither of them play the audio or animation correctly. Works fine on hardware obviously.

But what an experience it is to play this game in Duckstation. Boot it up and the first thing you'll see is the corrupted SCPH1000 BIOS, then you'll hear broken crackling BIOS audio, a separate bug, then you'll see the broken Jaleco logo screen, a third unrelated bug, then if you try and upscale that doesn't work, bug number 4, and if you do it with Vulkan that's a hard crash, bug number 5. Golly jee emulation sure is shitty and unreliable I guess I'll pay Matt $300 for a physical copy that he can blow on Genshin Impact right? That's how this racket works isn't it? These vermin will deliberately break whatever game their friends happen to be pumping on the second hand market.

I don't think it's anything political, and I don't know what someone as seemingly apolitical as Hans-Kristian would give anyone pause about. Refraction and his crew just didn't make and don't understand it, and they don't want to. They should still include it so people don't have to run to Retroarch to use an HD renderer that isn't a teetering pile of hacks and deal with all the compromises of LRPS2 (missing several peripherals, no way to exclude 4:3 FMVs in widescreen hacks)

where's my switch 2 emulator, you fucking lazy bums?

>>526276745
Never, Nintendo Win, Capitalism win, there's no alternative, eat your neighboor before he eats you, learn the tast of meat and blood like your ancestors do.

I wonder how easy the Switch 2 will be to emulate, on the outside, it really does just seemed like a souped up Switch 1, so I wonder how long it'll take

>>526278945
Considering that both Switch 1 emulators are extremely flawed and corporate bullying is a factor? Grim.

I mean half the games crash randomly severe hitching and severe graphical glitches are the norm.

Can I get a quick update on the state of 3DS emulation?

Should I use the last Citra version I still have downloaded or is it worth switching to a fork?

>>526280347
Keep the last one.

>>526280347
Use Azahar Plus. It's the most worked on fork (Azahar) but with the devs' autistic quirks like removing compatibility with encrypted roms or .3ds files.
There's been bug fixes to games, I think Luigi's Mansion 2 was one of them. It was technically fixed in PabloMK7's fork, but he discontinued that when Azahar came out and removed the builds too.

>>526284548
>>526280347
>without the devs' autistic quirks
Ftfm.

>users ask about Frontiers in various fork discords

At least this is one example of devs/communities being faggots.

what emulators should i install on my new snapdragon 8 elite 4 phone?

Outstanding

Been a few months since I last played Ninja Gaiden Black on Xemu and today I updated from v0.8.49 to v0.8.71 only to find that all sound effects, especially the voices, are barely audible now. What could be the issue here? I know I can just roll back to the previous version but shouldn't compatibility be getting better with updates? Surely they'll fix this right?

>>526288886
>shouldn't compatibility be getting better with updates?
I wish I had such naive optimism.

>>526287016

>>526274969
Basically this. It's probably also the reason Project64 doesn't include ParaLLEl-RDP. Hell, it took them ages to include Glide64 and later GLideN64.

>>526275985

Did you even click the link? That "source code" is just a readme.

is that actually fun or just le crazy XD XD? I have more faith in Japs actually making something I'd actually want to play. This Essex hack makes me wonder what sort of things I'm missing by not going to weird Japanese sites for hacks.

>switch 2 out for 10 hours now

fucking really?

>>526298787
I'm pretty sure it took until a year after the Switch 1 released for there to be an emulator for it.

They are back online.

Never report things here unless you're absolutely sure it won't get fixed.

>>526288886
>but shouldn't compatibility be getting better with updates?
No, xemu development, like vita3k is breaking stuff constantly and then fixing some broken things so it seems the devs are doing something.
You don't wanna know how much time xemu devs broke halo/ninja gaiden and vita3k devs broke gravity rush just to have it magically fixed a couple of months later.
Rpcs3 are the only ones who just break shit without fixing. Brave new emu world.

It's got the base game, yes, but it unfortunately doesn't have the HTF DLC to go along with it. (Which was kind of the whole point for me.)

>>526328871
I've never tried it before, but I would hope it doesn't have the same shitty links as other places

>>526330302
It offers 1Fichier, FreeDL, GoFile, GDrive, and MegaUP links. Last time I checked, The Crackpet Show's only remaining links were the 1Fichier ones.

Just check in on it every year or two. It actually kind of sucks to get in at the beginning of a new emulator. I played so much fucked up Bloodborne last summer and fall. If I'd just waited til winter or spring it would have been much more enjoyable.

http://gigo.retrogames.com/download.html I discovered some really old (like 25 years old) japanese-made emulators

https://web.archive.org/web/20070710082052/http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA009321/index2.html moar old-ass emulators from japan

>>526355506
I used SNES-GT for a minute there. Guess I was somehow convinced it was more accurate than ZSNES in ~2009. My computers at the time were too slow for BSNES, which was the obvious choice otherwise. BSNES was the first to play chip games like Star Fox and Kirby Super Star at the right speed. Nowadays SNES9x and Mesen-S have those fixes too.

>>526355506
>>526355941
Are emulators even legal in Japan?

>>526356357
Sounds similar to our laws. I imagine it's like here, where it's a slap on the wrist or a civil cease and desist matter, unless you you're a super bad goy and distribute en masse or crack some new DRM. Then it becomes criminal.

>>526356862
That's interesting. I know it's illegal to mod games or use save editors in Japan. Fucking stupid.

>>526356862
Allow me to correct myself a bit, there at least aren't criminal laws against danlodding webs here. I wonder how many people have done time for that over there. Don't ever use torrents raw. That's 100% how anyone would ever get caught unless someone just narcs and exposes your computer to the cops. Tribler's pretty neat. Fuck paying for VPNs too.

Switch runs on a 4th gen i5 and a 1060, which is a potato by today's standards. As for the arch, just assume your tech illiteracy and keep your mouth shut lmao

>>526354238
It all depends on a few things. One, the thing needs to get hacked so people can get decrypted game dumps. Two, we need developers that aren't scared of Nintendo to work on them. That's the difficult part, after what happened to Puzu and Ryujinx.

Where did all these newfags come from demanding Switch 2 emulation immediately? I don't remember it being this bad with previous gens.

>>526356357
They are. Heck, there are emudevs even. (look at all the X68k/PC98/etc emulators being made by japanese autists)
But they primarily emulate older systems from what I can tell

>>526378402
>>526379261
>>526380210
Honestly who cares about the Dreamcast? The app store with all it garbage still has a better library.

>>526356357
No but emulation is generally frowned upon in Japan. There are exceptions but japs are notorious corpo dickhuggers.

>>526383084
Only publicly. Goofygookland is all about appearance and how other people see you. Once you're in private all that shit goes. Pokemon pearl was download by japs 3 million times.

>>526383218
This. Just like all other Asian nations (which includes even Russia), it's all about "face" culture. You want to be perceived as following the mold in every way. However, the moment they realize they can get away with not following the norms or law without being noticed, they do not second-guess it.

>>526383605
It's the same reason I don't buy their supposed extremely low crime rate. Yeah everyone's a model citizen in public but they're completely different people in private. Most crime in all countries is committed by people against their own family members. And in Japland where honor is everything it's considered embarrassing and shameful to be a victim of crime so 99% of it isn't reported.

>>526384106
Well, even here we should make a distinction between individual honor and collective honor. Honor cultures in general do tend toward under-reporting crimes, as reporting risks making the loss of honor public, but when said culture tends toward individualism, the remedy often takes the form of settling the score (an eye for an eye), whereas in collectivist societies, it depends on how centralized and effective state power is. If the state is powerful and consolidated enough, you won't want to risk doing anything, as there will be reprisals and further loss of honor, so the best move is to do nothing. If it isn't, however, the move is to gather those close to you and deliver reciprocal collective punishment upon the perpetrator and those close to him.

>>526381580
>Honestly who cares about the Dreamcast?
I do

>>526385669
Just use a pc like a real man.

>>526384106
>i dOnT buY it
Even considering that they'll keep certain things on the downlow (oh no they may download a ROM or fudge some white collar/regulatory shit now and then -- Al Capone over here) that cultural standard means public life is far safer and cleaner than any western nation could hope to be. The vandalism, assault, and public chimpouts are practically nonexistent compared to us. Their trains are safe and don't run a minute late. Ours are hell. We have to cope by moving miles away from any urban center and telling ourselves this is a good thing and we just like our space.

>>526398580
"Us" meaning who? What third world cesspool do you exist in?

>>526398897
I think it's called the United States of America but I'm not sure.

>>526398897
If you're from any western nation what I said's true to to some extent. America. I don't want to get into a nationalist shitflinging match because we're all in the same boat. I visited Japan some years back and the difference in the quality of public facilities, people, and general urban functionality is staggering. Face, race, whatever combo in between they have going on in Japan, it's working for them and they should never let it change. Even if their bIrThRates suffer (number must go up)

>>526398580
Their trains derail because drivers are scared of getting sent to reeducation camps.

Why all the games for very young children?

>>526401305
Maybe in China in extreme outlying situations?
Meanwhile in the west:
>schedule is a nebulous suggestion at best
>inevitably deal with a sliding scale of unpleasantness from [pet brown people of your ruler's choice]: noise pollution, smell, harassment, and possibly assault

>>526401927
No in Jappyland. You should know the history of the country you love so much. A driver was playing real life Densha De Go. He was point 3 second behind schedule and rammed it into an apartment building because he was afraid of getting told off again.

Leave it to cigarillo to point out the outliers.

>>526402903
Japan has just as many schizos. The only difference is you can't do anything about them over there. Look up Aiueo700 or Mrs Noisy.

>>526404774
I'll take your word for it. I still envy their urban life. It's okay. We'll all be the same before long.

>>526404973
I don't. Why would I want to live in a major metropolitan hellscape regardless of crime levels?

>>526405438
I wouldn't really. I'll live in a small city my whole life, likely. It just shows a certain level of functionality and cleanliness I admire. On average, of course.

>>526405691
As an autismo I feel the same way. I'm a neat freak and I like everything tidy and in order. Except when it comes to urban design. This doesn't apply to the US since everything's always been conformist and prefab, but my country has a very specific feel and style that is completely lost with new buildings. Those sterile new neighborhoods with the fucking cube houses and apartment blocks disgust me.

Are you a strayan? Huh. I always wondered what flavor of PAL you were.

>>526407053
That's not true. They're not like the urban youths of America, they're more like Native Americans. They're violent, dysfunctional drunks but they live way out in the middle of nowhere in their own communities where they can only victimize each other.

>>526407401
Well yeah that's what I meant. (deleted because I could have structured that better) Nowhere near the issues the US and Europe have.

Did these guys just completely rip off MAME's work for those? Weird that the collections only have games that were in MAME prior, games with PC hardware (Hydro Thunder), and of the MAME games they have all the same problems. I'm surprised there wasn't any drama surrounding that.

I wonder if this thing has any future

I'm tempted to just buy the Shit 2 if it's already hacked.

>>526429428
I'd at least wait for games, it has one of the most boring launch titles ever. Basically Mario Kart and a few old ports.

>>526429940
The backwards compatibility with better framerates is the most tempting thing about it. Still wouldn't bother, though. No way it has hacks yet, and I wouldn't count on it for a year.

>>526430075
imo the backwards compatibility is still way inferior to emulation since it doesn't touch resolution at all.

>>526431930
NTA and I dunno who ciggy is but tbf Nintendo doesn't care if you're poor. If you piss them off they'll gladly try to rape you in the ass, the dicks they are.
Corporations like those deserve capital punishment; Luigi Mangione was a paragon of justice.

>>526429940

That's what really pisses me off about the Switch 2's launch library. At least the first Switch had the excuse that you couldn't physically fit Wii U discs onto a Switch.

>>526432349
You're thinking of Cruis'n Blast. Exotica was only shittily ported to N64.

>>526432524
Ohhhhh right, one of the last pre-Raw Thrills games. Kinda sucks MAME is the only other option if you want the true arcade experience.

>>526432669
It is not an option there either. The Zeus II driver for it is super-preliminary and nowhere near playable. Oddly enough The Grid is halfway playable on the same hardware. It's PCB or nothing for that game as of today.

>>526432787
Why do SEGAfags get all the luck when it comes to preliminary drivers?

>>526433392
Well, Midway games are fairly sloppy and schlocky to be fair. Sega's 90s games are legendary and worth the effort. They're out of luck with Hikaru, though. Decent Planet Harriers emulation never.

It could be that they're easier to emulate too, but I wouldn't know.

Yep! I just finished it, and had a blast playing it. You'll need to use 86box for this game though, it won't work on ScummVM.

>>526427657
Having a bug in an obscure game you've never heard of in your emulator isn't a misstep. Being made aware of it and not at least attempting to fix it is.

>>526482737
I hear DOSBox-X's Win9x support isn't the greatest. Besides, 86box WOMM.

>>526483449
You're right. I coulda sworn this game was available for DOS, but only the demo was released for it. What's issues does it have in ScummVM? It's at least runs in it.

I certainly have no problem running it in 86box as I have it. The emu's just an ask for a lot of people unless they download your thingy or someone's preinstall. I'd probably also try to get it to run natively first.

Yeah, I apologize for the misinformation earlier. That was entirely my fault.

its been a while since i played sotn. besides the ps1 sotn ever released on another platform?

Lordy, convincing Duckman's setup that I'm 'not' using WinNT took a bizarre combo of otvdm, isfixload.exe, and Win95 compat mode applied to isfixload.exe, but it worked.

Never forget what they took from you.

>>526487434
Shit. Wrong thread.

This game is quite good but why did they change Mainframe to Dataframe?

emu

So in my testing of DOS games on 86Box (yes, I'm still building up my DOS Expansion Pack, just need to get more variety in there), I've noticed late DOS games like Command and Conquer actually make the emulation slow down intermittently. This is at 120 MHz, so maybe at lesser speeds those games would work fine on my potato. However, I ran into a game I didn't expect would also cause slowdowns: Silpheed. This is a game made to run on slow 386 machines, yet it causes frequent (though mild) emulation slowdowns. I'm guessing it's making the CPU work at full throttle despite not at all needing all that processing power, so probably running a slower CPU would ironically make it emulate better.

This is, by the way, a custom-made "hybrid version" that adds features exclusive to the IBM PS/1 version of the game, bringing it closer to the PC-88 original with sound effects and speech handled by the Sound Blaster card rather than the PC speaker (which elevate its sound immensely - you can actually understand what the villain says!). It also adds better stereo Sound Blaster Pro FM music as compared to the mono Adlib support of the regular DOS version, but honestly, there's no beating the MT-32 music. It's just too bad you can't have both MT-32 and FluidSynth General MIDI support on 86Box. They really ought to have it so you can switch between them without needing to reconfigure everything.

As for the game itself, it's quite great. It has that polish you can only get from 80's nip autism. Hard, but fair, is how I'd evaluate it.

And my suspicions were correct. Switching to a 75 MHz Pentium makes it so Silpheed runs perfectly well on my computer with zero emulation slowdowns. Interesting to see how some older games, despite not actually running better or faster, still attempt to tax the CPU as much as they can, as if trying to squeeze as much juice as possible out of it.

lmao are the Citra devs that got banned from developing Nintendo emulators because of Yuzu sending code to Pablo?

PAL version of Tai Fu doesn't crash on level 5 anymore that's good. Wish I could remove some of those issues because quite a few have been fixed. That said it's probably by accident and if I point them out they'll probably get regressed on purpose again.

Hey, didn't byuu/near/whatever post on this general back before he (apparently) offed himself because of drama involving kftards?
Shame he's gone, since more emudevs posting on /emugen/ would be cool, particularly to encourage more civil discussion between developers and end users
Developers and end users need eachother for themselves to function after all

Weird question.
How much emulator development resources are there in Japanese?
I know there are some Qiita/Note blogposts of Japanese guys making gameboy or famicom emulators or whatnot (i.e https://qiita.com/kmtoki/items/578e8e57ab0e76590d6d, https://hackmd.io/@anqou/HJcvRrwy9, https://mjhd.hatenablog.com/entry/2021/04/14/221813, etc)
There's even a YT video series where some guy makes a GB emulator in r*st https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWBUOgYd0pA
But I'm curious if the whole emudev autism thing is also a thing in Japanese or if it's more niche and underground (as this kind of thing might have to be)

>>526520941
Yeah I asked him about a bootleg Pokemon SNES cart that no emulator could run because none of them emulated the protection chip. He said it would probably never be fixed and then I think days later supposedly offed himself.

I need the latest emu dev drama. The more tranies involved the better.

Gameboy seems beyond a done deal though, right? I think Sameboy would pass insane, ciggy levels of scrutiny. It runs that weird Euro-pinball game that crashes most emus. It's good that you're learning, anyway.

>>526529725
I found a bug years ago that was weird enough the MelonDS guy wrote an article about it. Which was nice. It didn't sit there for years untouched while I got anonymous death threats in my inbox about it like when I'd report things in Duckstation.

To be fair I've become a lot more jaded and western media has accrued a lot of bad will from me over the years. I imagine this stuff's a lot more fun when you catch it as a teenager in 1995-2001 (before 3 generations of internet humor and multiple cycles of genuine, ironic, and post-ironic phases) and you don't consider things like subversion and contempt for you from the creators.

Duckman really does feel like a prototype for shit like Big Mouth and the like, though.

Dunno why this system is such a love-hate lightning rod. It's a short lived thing with arcade games and a few quirky gems on it. Why do you hate it?

It is funny how I got Ivan's ire by saying NAOMI is just a DC with more RAM and a cart option. He was on some schizo tirade about it being inferior and it lacking order-independent transparency. It's the same CPU and GPU and feature-set all the way down.

>>526571461
Me in particular? I'm indifferent to the Dreamcast since I haven't really played anything outside of the Sonic Adventure titles. As for why the system's a love-hate lightning rod, I'm honestly not sure. Maybe it's because it was SEGA's last console?

>>526506972
Have you gotten around to Thexder as well? It's similarly made from the same company IIRC.

>>526571965
>It is funny how I got Ivan's ire by saying NAOMI is just a DC with more RAM and a cart option.
Part of me thinks he might've confused NAOMI for Hikaru, but even Hikaru is a vastly different beast compared to the DC.

It's all working swimmingly except for one thing...the sticks on the controller aren't that sensitive in the middle. (Well, the left, I haven't done anything yet that requires such sensitivity on the right, but I assume it's the same deal.)
It's not like I remember the games being. Outside of the most central portions the sticks control well. But the first bit of movement from the resting center point is off, I think.
I remember the contoller (on the real console) being very sensitive, like it would respond to the movement straight away right from the center point. The character would starting walking, ever so slow. I particularly remember this is Mario Sunshine, he would start to walk very slowly. And in MKDD you could move the stick ever so slightly to steer right or left ever so slightly.
But right now I'm getting no register, no movement for the slight movement on the left stick, and then all of a sudden a big input after a certain point. This is making the steering in MKDD very shaky, I can't register slight steering, I'm jutting left and right.

So because I'm a total n00b, I'm wondering what the problem is;
- is this something I need to configure in Dolphin (which I haven't done, I just assigned the buttons basically)?
- or is it something inherent to the controller (because I was thinking about getting another controller anyway, and was thinking of getting a different model or different brand)? Or maybe something inherent to all 'Hall Effect' type sticks? I heard that even though they have good durability they don't have good accuracy/sensitivity?

do you anons watch movies or tv shows if you're playing a game that needs grinding to win?

>>526586670
Lower the deadzone option in Dolphin's controller config.

>>526570603
Of course it has. It was just a harmless failure of a console until some mod forced it down everyone's throat because he liked it. And of course it caused everyone who browsed the board to hate it.

>>526589083
We needed more such failures then

Watch it mysteriously break in emulators as the usual suspects get their corporate kickbacks.

I saw a screenshot years ago from PCSX2 where some slimebag affiliate marketer was messaging them about some dogshit remaster. I think it was Klonoa 2. "Hey bingwahootendie is coming out with this exciting high quality remaster of classic blah blah shit we'd like to work with you to make it less appealing to players to emulate the game and get them to buy it etc..." They didn't do it obviously because they're functional human beings that don't need to destroy their own work for 50 bucks but I'm sure those same offers go out to all the usual emudildos and I guarantee some of them take the offer.

for once I'd like you to put up or shut up fagstank

>>526608856
I don't have years old screenshots from Discord. You can argue whether any emutranny would be unscrupulous enough to destroy their own work for money, but do you really not think affiliate marketing scammers would try it?

It's a hustle man. Emusisters get their disability check for their made up anxiety disorder on the first of the month and after weed, anime figures and paying for bots to boost their storefront ratings there's not much left. Gotta get paid either illegally selling user data, running scam ads or getting a few bucks to break things on purpose.

all I'm saying is you blow a whole lot of smoke and have little to show for it except for assertions, and most of them are what everyone already knows about emudevs being fucked in the head

I am a mentally deranged narcissistic life loser that took half a software engineering course before I dropped out and moved back home to mooch off mom and dad and the welfare system. Give me money and positive attention on the vague hope that I will one day deliver a working emulator. Don't ask where the money is going though and don't tell the federal government that I'm collecting welfare and donations at the same time ;) I will also disappear for weeks or months at a time with no explanation. Any accusation that my code looks suspiciously similar to that of other more talented people's will result in your expulsion from my online fiefdom. If I feel I'm not getting enough attention I will start pretending to be a woman.

I don't even hate stankposting anymore. It's fun. It's better than emu/gen. I'm sure most emudevs are lazy spiteful mutants but I'd rather have their works than not, if only for the toy factor of messing with them. Playing a whole game is rarely something I can be bothered with anymore. I'm probably ADHD. Unlike 'devs I won't bother to get grift neetbux off it or get a buxworthy diagnosis. That shit sounds like its own job. I'm probably just old and bings only go so far anymore

I did finish Bloodborne a few times thanks to Shad, though. That may be the most impressive resulation achievement yet.

New PS2 game to play
https://hiddenpalace.org/Duke_Nukem:_D-Day_(Jun_4,_2001_prototype)

I've got two monitors, primary is a standard 4k and 2nd is a 1440 ultrawide.

On retroarch using the gx wide core trying to play it fullscreen on my ultrawide made the frame rate tank considerably, but playing it windowed was fine. I hadn't tried other cores on it but I did try the same one on my 4k monitor and it works fine both windowed and full screen.

tldr
>game plays fine in windowed and fullscreen on 4k monitor
>game plays fine in windowed on ultrawide monitor but tanks fps in fullscreen

Anyone have any similar issues and know how to fix it?

>>526587473
No. I just grind and dissociate, imagining the rest of the game I could play when the grind is over or anything else, really.

The PPSSPP update most importantly adds infrastructure mode, so hopefully the games with revival servers see a boost in players. And they can seemlessly play with original hardware.

Psrewired is the main one but there's others.

What the fuck is wrong with this? Is it a bug?

>>526572457
Not yet. It's been a slog going through DOS games lately, mostly because of work stuff. I'm also reconsidering whether my initial plan of making the DOS pack have its own HDD image is sound. The other option would be to just upload a regular folder, which would require mounting the original pack's HDD image and then dropping that folder in. I'm not sure which option would be easier for the end user.

>>526629763

Can MGBA do link play with original game boy games or just advance ones? When I use new multiplayer window it does show up as player 2. But when I press to link, the first player's game just flashes and goes back to the title screen and the second resets entirely and gets locked into fast forward.

Even if I didn't know what Matt looked like I could still picture exactly what he looked like. I remember him telling me that he'd tried to emulate the PCFX years ago but it never got anywhere. Maybe he should give it another shot since he's clearly not interested in the PS1 anymore.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgFd89KPWiI&t=11s

Is anyone else running a Raspberry Pi for emulation? Mine is a Pi 4.

Is there a solid guide on using RetroPie / RetroArch in it?

I have no linux experience, so I guess I'll need to learn how to work the file manager inside it at minimum. I wanted to watch videos on it as well.

But am I required to have a D-input controller? My Xbox One controller through USB doesn't work out of the box.

The rom auto load method worked for my N64 roms, but I guess I didn't let it load long enough for my PS1 roms, hopefully it restarts the next time I have that USB plugged in, I heard it can take many hours if you have a lot of files. I guess I should stick to the games I'll actually play.

The image almost looks too clean, almost want to slap a scanline filter on it. I'm going to see what a sprite based game looks like soon.

A lot of it is/was CYA and plausible deniability so their asses weren't gaped for legal consequences. Some of it is an easy way to skate out of supporting their product or ignoring dummies.

You meaan Richard Whitehouse, the guy who can't open source BigPEmu because it was technically an emulator made for the Atari 40 collection?

>>526678869
>mean

>>526673564
I'm surprised, thought it could only do CHIP-8 emulation at best.

>>526678869
That guy's just a mercenary cocksucker. I don't see any evidence of him being a weirdo otherwise. He shows his hand by not open sourcing BigP, it only being a biproduct of Atari 50 (so he was already paid) and making his KI emu Patreon-ware.

That said I'm convinced he could make a Ciggy-worthy PS1 emu. He just needs to give him 100k or something.

yuzu 2?

>>526673835
That one's going to be a pickle for sure. Quite a few games made use of it, then Vista came along and MS basically up and said lol who cares about all that anyway.

>>526696207
Honestly, based. Needing a card for echo and positional audio was always stupid and has proven to be inexpensive on modern CPUs. It was always bad.

Just like PhysX was always bad too. It sucks to have it removed and buying a 50xx is a lol decision, but it never should have been relied on in the first place. We always pay for APIs that rely on specific hardware in the end.

>>526645120

I upgraded the controllers firmware. Then I did the Windows calibration thing. Then I did the calibration in Dolphin again. Again, deadzone at 0%. Still no difference. Maybe it is justy the controller. I think I'll buy something different and confirm if it's the controller or not.

Should I go for the official Xbox controller?
Or some kinda GameSaar one?
(I want it to be an Xbox controller vs a generic or a modern Nintendo style one because I want the analog triggers (for GameCube games). I also want this style of layout not the Sony style layout (dpad + left stick swapped).)

*cough*Raytracing*cough*

>>526703224
That game was one of the first showed when the PS4 was annonced. It was a showcase of what next-gen graphics could be and a counterpart to Gran Turismo as the Sony Racing Game... And then... The game was a disaster at lauch with the devs literally admiting the multiplayer was broken on a fondamental level in the code, which was the death sentence for the game who faded into obscurity.

>>526703419
Buy a DS4/5, you could use the gyro function for your wii games.

That sucks because otherwise Evolution was a soulful studio. Motorstorm was kino

Does anyone know how to get the costume DLCs for Kameo Elements of Power on Xenia?

>>526706768
My god, this game reeks of "old gen project quickly upscaled to be a next gen launch title".

>>526708524
That's because it WAS
It was going to be a gamecube game until MS snatched rare

>>526708879
Holy shit.

>>526702016
I mean, it sort of made sense at the time, when CPUs were still kinda shit. But yeah, later on it was unneeded. Again, the problem is that there was still a good bunch of games made during that time period that made use of hardware accelerated sound features, and unlike say, Glide, there's no wrapper you can use to just be able to use those features, hence the need for emulation, which is only now being tackled.

And also unlike Glide and other graphic APIs, 86Box will not be a panacea either. Even if they get around to emulating the cards that use it, most of the games that use EAX or A3D are heavy and require hardware well beyond what 86Box will ever be able to emulate even on top-end hardware.

>>526708524

It started off on the N64 then went to the Gamecube -> Xbox -> Xbox 360

Mystery nigga

Gonna try making an emulator. Should I:
>make a Gameboy emulator
>make a GBA emulator
>make a DS emulator
>make a PS1 emulator
>make an 80x86 emulator

>>526721587
Have you tried emulating a CHIP-8? If not, I hear that's a good platform for beginner emu devs.

>>526703156
play it for 30 seconds

>>526709875
PCem and friends have clearly topped out regarding guest specs ages ago. It's honestly time for a new x86 emulator if we want one to tackle EAX, GeForce 1-3, and Pentium 3-4 with any efficiency.

>>526721587
make an Apple II emulator core for RetroShart

>>526728825
That would actually be pretty cool. You can do this via MAME as is but yuck...

>>526721587
Whatever you choose, have fun.

>>526732660
Why the virtual boy? The virtual boy has 1 (ONE) game
It's more of a meme "no games" console than PS5 or NSW2

I'm having intrusive thoughts

>>526735740
Most of that documentation is wrong. Have fun.

>>526734098
NTA, but red monochrome graphics aside, it's pretty neat. It was just released too early for what it was trying to do. It's cool that we finally have an emulator for it on the 3DS that actually makes the 3D work.

>>526730172
*the MAME core, I mean. Standalone MAME is a perfectly viable and decent way to emulate Apple II.

>>526666101
Literal ISHYGDDT here. If you're sick enough to use this god knows what other Buffalo Bill shit's happening in your life.

If you're wondering why the graphics in Mad Stalker - Full Metal Force are broken in duckstation and will always remain broken this is why. When second hand copies are $300 a pop it just doesn't make economic sense. Art of the deal baby. God bless the American dream of fucking everyone and everything to get what you want and keep it.

>>526750697
Interesting theory, cigz, but doesn't it run in several others just fine? I think collectards were gonna pay this due to the rarity regardless of emu-status.

Maybe, *maybe* if you had a game broken in all emus (more than just an FMV bug or fast-menus and the like) that goes for a high price I could see the plausibility of such a scheme. I think this is more common with arcade games which go for thousands.

Hell, there are plenty of SNES games that run just fine that go for more. Other PS1 games that emulate just fine that go for more.

I'd sooner believe Matt's just a bad developer or contemptuous toward certain user issues than this. It seems like he's content with Ducko the way it is, and anything wrong he fixes extremely arbitrarily and leisurely.

Ah who am I kidding, if you stopped this schizo shit /emugen/ wouldn't be half as fun. Thanks for keeping this gen alive you crazy bastard.

>>526750817
>but doesn't it run in several others just fine?
It does. But those other emulators aren't run by a guy that sells retro games and has a direct financial interest.

>>526751408
but isn't your market busted if your buyers can just load it in something else?

There are MAME drivers that have had issues for longer than some emugen posters have been alive. Those reek of this kind of racket more to me.

>>526751462
Self interest greed is often idiotic and nonsensical and Matt is mentally unstable. It's a scheme that might make sense in his head.
>>526751564
It doesn't reek, they literally admit it and told people to fuck themselves. David Haywood's friend Eric Cheung was selling Dodonpachi in some lazy dogshit rom collection and they removed support for it.

>>526673225
Dwelling more on this, I think this is because a lot of their buddies may be in game dev (either as programmers or asset creation) or game journalism so it's all a big wagon-circle. I don't know what else would explain doing it for free for this industry's corpos.

I'm trying to be nice but there are only 3 scenarios and none of them look good.

1. It's broken on purpose because it goes for a lot on the second hand market and Mathew J Trump is flogging copies.
2. It's broken by accident. Matt is well aware of that fact so either A. He's throwing a diaper shitting tantrum and refusing to fix it or B. He's incapable of fixing it in which case he's less capable than the people that run fucking ePSXe.

Corruption, childishness or incompetence. It's like the US federal government equivalent of an emulator.

I got curious, so I went to check the archive on the first mentions of this Matt La France dude to see what evidence there is (since ciggy seems to only have "I remember Stenzek said this/told me this on trooncord years ago"), and what do you know, it's just info and pics of Matt with nothing but assertions about him being Stenzek and the Connor persona being a lie. The only "source" linked is some Reddit thread about Duckstation's closure, and there's nothing there about Stenzek being Matt. It's assertions and "trust me bro", followed by insane claims about pedophilia and grooming, all the way down. Ciggy, I know you've been told this a million times and I'll not make a difference, but you're fucking mental and I fear you're crazy enough to go actually murder this La France dude over your petty grievances.

>>526753348
You checked the archive that's been down for months?

um, yes?

like jesus dude

Over three years with this shit, too.

>>526754203
I don't have the capability to doxx anyone. It was done by someone at retroarch after he broke up with them, posting that collage picture of him in Japan. The one where he's on the ride.

Best switch emu right now?

>>526754292
What archive site are you using. I'll check.

>>526754314
Even assuming that's true, there's no proof in those initial posts from 2022 that it's Stenzek, only assertions followed by wild repeated claims about pedophilia and other shit. And you just uncritically accepted that?
>>526754507
arch.b4k.dev/vg/

>>526754762
And what they posted lined up perfectly with what I knew personally. Ask them what their proof is. If it bothers you that much I wont' post it again.

Specifically with a retroarch contributor named Jean-André Santoni aka kivutar.

I don't know what the feud was over exactly. But this was the catalyst of the doxxing. His problem with this guy who connected him to the Matt's messy room blog and found old pictures of him in Japan.

Kivutar sold a handheld with duckstation installed and made a bunch of money?

>the whole thing was over Piepacker, a supposed "cloud gaming platform" which utilizes emulators, and Kivutar, a relatively low-key libretro contributor who mostly did work for Lakka, also contributing to Piepacker. It was also about Stenzek being a difficult fuck to work with - he only contributed a closed-source libretro port of Duckstation and kept throwing fits over random shit and thus kept ceasing work on said core whenever he felt like it, so to get around this, libretro just forked Duckstation themselves from source, resulting in Swanstation. Piepacker ended up using Swanstation for their platform, and THIS is what rectally devastated Stenzek. It's alleged that Piepacker actually offered Stenzek a job or some form of compensation or whatever, which he refused, and some figures came out about Piepacker making over a million bucks or some shit, and he went absolutely nuclear.

So that's where his outlandish claim about libretro making millions off of Duckstation comes from... because Piepacker made millions, and also happened to use the GPL-licensed, open-sourced Swanstation core (the GPL allows commercialization, by the way, so long as the source remains open), AND also happened to employ or have a libretro contributor on-board at the time (I believe Kivutar has since left Piepacker), so in his head, all that equaled ZOMG RETROARCH PROFITS MILLIONS OFF OF MY WORK. He also made claims about stolen code off of a private repo or some shit, which he never, ever backed up or substantiated and made no sense in any case (how does someone steal code off a private repo unless he gave them access, shared the code, or his account got hacked?), which is what the twatter and Resettera hordes latched onto a few months back.

And here we go again, all you have is "trust me bro, I know stuff". Sorry, but I cannot trust that all the details "line up perfectly" when you show no proof. It's like when people say Bible prophecies perfectly line up with current events or whatever: with enough motivated reasoning, you can convince yourself that two completely unrelated events are actually the same event as long as you keep the details vague enough. Like, you mentioned something about Stenzek supposedly having some interest in PC-FX, which if I understand correctly Matt happens to like a lot. Ok? Pretty eccentric of them, but it doesn't rise above the level of coincidence. We'd need a lot more than that kind of thing to make a solid connection.
>>526755640
It was basically this >>526756419. If kivutar was indeed the one who made the supposed "doxx" (again, I'd like to see proof), it at least makes sense since Stenzek was going bananas over stupid shit and implying kivutar had a hand in it. I don't know if kivutar is the type to doxx or whatever, but that's beside the point.

>>526756919
Here's the original doxx post. At least the first time it was posted here. They're both mentally ill computer science teachers with an interest in PCFX, chronic pain, and addiction to prescription painkilliers and genshin impact.

Kivutar makes off like a bandit doesn't he. Millions of dollars and doxxes someone and I get blamed.

There's gold in them there archives.

See, this is what I'm talking about. There's no proof that Matt was a teacher or professor. He WORKED at a college as a web programmer, per his own stated work history. The claim that he was a teacher is just that, with the source to the claim being some posts he made about web development for his college site and related musings. Nothing about teaching that I could find.
>chronic pain
Millions of people have this.
>addiction to prescription painkilliers
Not sure if millions, but definitely hundreds of thousands suffer from this.
>an interest in PCFX
This is about the only thing that narrows them down to a relatively small group compared to the other categories, but all it says is they're both nerds about obscure shit no one cares about.

>>526758131
I don't know why you care so much. I'm bored of this now I'm going back to emulating.

And I forgot Genshin Impact. Once again, millions of people play that shit and are addicted to it. Seriously, when the only hit you have that may mean anything is they both happen to like a shitty eroge machine, you know you're grasping. Do better.
>>526758732
I care because you keep spamming posts about Matt this, Matt that, and I find out it's all based on flimsy unproven claims and apparent wishful thinking. Keep posting Duckstation issues, I don't give a crap about that, but I also don't much care for unfounded claims. There's plenty to dislike about Stenzek without needing to also tie him to some leftist goof who probably has nothing to do with anything.

>>526759249
With emulation going nowhere how am I meant to amuse myself? I can't play lightgun games, I can't play PS1 mouse games, I can't play PS1 arcade games.

I can't play Kids Station - Oshaberi Oekaki Kikansha Thomas to Nakamatachi because no emulator supports the kids station controller.

ftfy, during the late 90's Aureal had the better tech/innovation and even were the first one to introduce HRTF but were bought up by Creative and those fuckers discontinued the superior tech in favour of EAX and the only positive thing Microsoft did is them fucking over Creative hard with Vista release

>>526759249
It hurts to see someone else care about his schizo bullshit. Just learn to embrace and laugh at it. We can at least say we were there to witness his spiral before he goes full In The Line of Fire on Matt. He may be Australian so he may not be much of a threat to him all the way of the there. Then again, maybe not because I've never seen him use -ise instead of -ize or any Euro-isms like that.

>>526797276
It'll run in other emus (Med/Beetle's the other one you should try), and knowing ciggy it may work in Ducko too if you just configure it right.

im trying to apply a translation patch (ips) but game doesn boot after, md5 and sha-1 matches the one in description pre patch though, what am I doing wrong?

>>526803502
May just be better off finding a prepatched one somewhere.
https://myrient.erista.me/files/Internet%20Archive/chadmaster/En-ROMs/En-ROMs/
or maybe it's floating around on RetroGameTalk (will have to sign in or use BugMeNot) or ROMSfun, they have a lot of patched/hacked games.

>>526803502
What do you use to patch it ?

>>526805134
lunar ips

>>526804947
yeah I guess, wanted to do it myself since most seems to have addendums and whatnot that might not come pre-applied from those sites

>>526807161
Try FLIPS, dunno how fundamentally different they are. Could just be the wrong ROM somehow.

>>526807161
try flips but, if it was the proper rom and a romhack for that rom, it should work, except if the hack itself is bugged.

yeah idk seems odd

>>526808730
What romhack did you try to patch exactly ? It's weird... maybe your download got corrupted.

>>526808905
alcahest english translation, downloaded a fresh patch again but no dice. it comes with its own ips patcher so maybe its super finnicky? it didnt boot so used what I had

Are miniPCs any good or am I better off putting together a mini-ITX pc for my living room?
I will probably spend more time watching anime and movies on it, but it would be great to play some games from the comfort of my couch.

>>526810025
Holy shit, a 2002 romhack that stuck in beta since then... The IPS.EXE included in it doesn't seem to even run on modern windows... I think the problem is that this hack is some outdated shit. But I will try more shit.

This was the only book I had to read during high school that I actually liked.

The 7840/7940HS ones with ~GTX 1060 equivalent AMD graphics work pretty well. That said I've found the bluetooth in them all to stink, with BT performance getting worse as the system is stressed. You may wanna get a USB adapter if you plan on using wireless controllers. Outside of that mine's been great for trips.

>>526810497
I've tried IPS.EXE and snestool and none of them work on Win11 and I will not bother myself with setting up some virtual machine just for that. Shit fucked, badly.

>>526810821
I used FLIPS on Win11 and it WOMM.

maybe it's some ZSNES shit?

>>526810972
Probably, I'd enable that hack patch in Snes9x just to be sure.

Just get a prepatched for god's sake. You're probably doing it right so no need to prove anything to yourself. Probably just some wacky old hack that wants a certain patcher, the hacker's drunk and told you the wrong ROM, or an old emulator in the worst case.

Also it says it wants a headered ROM, was that taken into account? But I concur, just get a pre-patched one already. Jank-ass old patches like this aren't worth the headache.

>>526410461

I understand getting it to work being more important/fun than the game, though.

>>526811581
I'd assume so since hashes match? can it be one or the other if that matches?

>>526810497
its missing a password feature or something that got fixed by an addendum so its pretty much feature complete from what I understand.

and get sniped by a guy with my doxx and any articles related to me as his wallpaper? No thank you.

The Ymir guy has to watch his back too because cig's too retarded to use it.

>>526811581
Must be a header problem it seem as the bytes size doesn't match the one in the readme, but myrient and RGT only have the unheadered one.

time to look for Goodsets then lol

>>526813369
I wasn't talking to you.

>>526813821
It work! I used tush to had the header to the rom and, even if flips throwed the same error at me, this time it boot... All this for a again I'm not even want to play.

>>526798121
Seems to run perfectly so far in Ducky. With all the enhancements even (res, pgpx, runahead, slightly faster cd, left the game in 4:3 obviously)
Cool game too.

>>526817618
>NOOOO my watertight Matthew-hoarder narrative!

kek

Why not spam the Matt thing in some sort of romhack/translation general? At least then you could shitpost about him without people calling you out on your shoddy Stenzek connection. No one's ever bought it here. We'll laugh at his head and antics but no one thinks its Stenzek. It simply doesn't match up.

I want a good laugh as much as anyone but I want the truth too.

This is seriously like that crazy bitch that would never shut up about Sam Hyde. You're that bitch.

Actually just finished the game now. It's a fun beat em all even if you can just spam hadokens and blow up everything
I loved the GitS and other mecha anime references. And yeah there wasn't a single issue.

>>526821736
Why are you lying about something that can be disproven in seconds?

>>526848541
Hmm, damn, a bit of flashing in the intro everyone skips anyway.
I guess the entire game is broken then, total stenzek DEATH

I still don't get what the point of Switch 2 "Editions" are when Switch 1 titles are backwards compatible with the Switch 2 anyway. Seems like a flimsy excuse to pad out the launch library.

>>526850293
It's not about the bugs, it was never about the bugs.

>>526850293
Oh so it is broken.

>>526851646
I'll grant you this one and some bonus points, cigs. It's broken in Mednafen too.

MAME's PS1 driver just can't handle it whatseover. Lots of missing graphics.

No$ plays the intro perfectly. I thought they all ripped him off...?

Xebra is also correct, ePSXe fucks it up. Interesting results. Think I'm done messing with it for now.

>>526852674
Great, can it be fixed now?

>>526852801
As usual, it's not up to me. Make up a different persona and ask him nicely or ask an emudev who cares. There's a bunch of PS1 emus in development.

>>526853051
Well this was a pointless conversation then wasn't it.

>>526853128
Nah, you got your engagement. I'm sure your stroke off to anyone giving you the time of day here, even if it's to tell you you're a schizo for Mattposting.

You could leave any time if that's not enough for you, though. :^)

>>526853128
Honestly, it isn't. If this isn't some endless years long trolling campaign (I honestly feel like we're the victims more than Stenzek or Matt) and you really do want things to change, I honest-to-god think you need some sort of life or personality coach. You said you had autism, so I'm sure you wouldn't disagree.

No one on earth is gonna be motivated to budge under the influence of some petty paratracker penned by someone infamously hateful toward them. You may actually be making things worse if fixing Duckstation is the goal.

but hey, the game's perfect elsewhere. That's better than some cases.

>>526854859
For $600 you'd certainly hope so but probably not.

>>526856564
I'm mostly giving you shit and don't buy into that, but you should consider a different approach. It's been years and nothing, unless you include making frenemies on 4chan.

Which, I'm glad to be. I'm easily entertained by downloading random crap and trying it and calling you a retard/schizo. It is pointless as you've said though, outside of that. Go to other devs or weasel into his inner circle, or learn to code. Autistic people are supposedly smart, right?

If you're not willing to exercise a little social muscle, learn to code, or buy a house for Richard Whitehouse, you're basically signing off on slop.

>>526857340
but why would it be any better than emus either? It's probably just one of the big open source emus converted to an FPGA core, with maybe a few compat hacks on time. Most of the high end cores, as I understand it, cut a lot of corners to work full speed on the mister so I doubt any of them are as good as even ePSXe.

Or open source. Or usable UIs.

>>526870448
True enough. They've been clunky if sufficient ways to play a number of platforms for awhile, though. I dunno why people were so memed that Saturn was impossible to emulate for ages. Radiant Silvergun was definitely fully playable in the late 2000s on modest hardware.

>>526873245
*sufficient, if clunky, I should say.

My character fell through the floor and the game is now softlocked. I can't interact with any buttons and since this game only has manual saving and I did that 2 and a half levels ago I guess I'm done with this.

>>526865048
It was indeed header fuckery and a patching from tush indeed fixed it... I mean, FLIPS still hate it but, it boot.

Switch 2 looking good. My life is like a video game.

There's a phenomena in Japland where incels think that because they jerk off to a woman they see on TV it means they're in a relationship with her and she's not allowed to have a boyfriend. The NHK weatherwoman announced she was getting engaged and a bunch of freaks sent letters threatening to kill her and themselves.

>>526911769
Relatable, eh?

>>526911769
Isn't this just the global simp-thot dynamic now? Japs were just ahead of the curve.

>>526912284
It's not thots though. It's not pornstars doing fan meetups. Just random TV presenters that shut-ins imagine they're in a relationship with.

>>526912873
I know, this has expanded to just about any woman online though. Just about any woman even in innocuous roles like this know they'll lose fans or get hate if they show any evidence of having a boyfriend/husband/date. Japs did have the jump on this sort of aberrant parasocial shit though. Anyway, here's Matt's asshole I caught on a 1000x lens through his window.

Oh, and here's a bunch of pervcore Jap games and blogposts about and how I like milfs or whatever. I'm normal, though.

If the dev is not retarded, right from the project Github.

Looks like it was made for PS1, but ported to PS2.

>>526923919
Maybe it was, it came early on the PS2 days. I think one of Ivan's squizo ranting was about it or Koudelka using an engine that they have buy a licence from Square or something.

>>526923919
It would look a little better in CRT-vision with the models matching the backdrop resolution for sure, but yeah. Such a weirdly vertically squished resolution the backdrops are in too.

Finished setting up romm. Completely unnecessary but it's nice to look at.

>>526893675
You don't need a cheat for that game, it's on the easier side and during your playthrough you can buy/get an accessory that slows down the ring.
In the sequel on the other hand, you need the slow down accessory because the ring is twice as fast even if you "upgrade" the ring.

>>526956519
I think there's a reason Saturn's the ceiling for hikikomori-ware Jap emulators. You need a team for anything with modern graphics hardware in it.

>>526893675
I played this recently and was disappointed it didn't have voice acting. I looked up the studio and saw they made Koudelka - a game with full voice acting.

>>526964726
I stopped playing FF7 because it didn't have voice acting. It's bad enough that the dialogue is boring, but I don't want to read boring dialogue too.

It feels so surreal being able to play Return of Arcade natively on Win11. The only game I can't seem to run natively from that collection is Ms. Pac-Man. (Which seems to be the only 32-bit executable, with the rest being 16-bit ones that OTVDM can handle just fine.)

>>526966019

>>526968014

>>526967528
First time trying these. These are definitely simulations instead of emulation, but not bad for the time. You should look into the Williams Arcade's Greatest Hits collection for DOS too, as you're into these. I first played Bubbles on it. Underrated game.

>>526968712
it's actually really bad so i never used it.
there's a youtube video of it

Yeah, those Revenge of Arcade games (Ms Pacman from it was thrown into Return's later print) just refuse to run in Win11. I'm sure some combination of DxWnd settings work but that program is hell.

>>526972727
>I'm sure some combination of DxWnd settings work but that program is hell.
That's exactly what I'm using lol. I'm extremely close to getting it to run, but I'm having a hard time forcing 256 color mode.

>>526972774
Let me know if you find some combo of settings that get the 32bit Revenge of Arcade games to run. I imagine those could be transferred to other stubborn 9x games.

>>526974426
I've tried setting the "Initial virtual color setting" to 8BPP, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Trump's deportation push claims more victims.

>>526978130
Would you actually say PCSX2's better than Duckstation?

Currently setting up retroarch cause I wanted to have a more convenient way to emulate. Before that I currently have as standalone emulators Citra, MelonDS, mGBA, Snes9x, and gens

Are any of these standalone emus better than their retroarch core counterparts or should I migrate entirely to retroarch? From basic testing it seems ones like gens/snes9x are inferior but there's a few more settings in melonds standalone that I take advantage of that aren't in the core version

>>526980279
In terms of compatibility absolutely not. It's supports more peripherals, and has better people working on it and if you report something they're very quick to respond. It has lightgun support that actually aims correctly.

>Citra, MelonDS, mGBA, Snes9x, and gens
>Are any of these standalone emus better than their retroarch core counterparts?
Yes, yes (has the ability to display each DS screen to separate monitors and much better DSiware management), no (unless you want gyro for WarioWare and HD for games like F-Zero), no, no. Retroarch is generally a safe bet for up to 5th gen + DC and FBNeo arcade games. The X68K, PC98, C64, Amiga, and DOS cores are decent too.

>>526978130

>>526980581
LRPS2 is worth using in RA for ParallelGS (HD renderer with far fewer glitches than conventional HLE renderers), but LRPS2 doesn't have as many features and peripherals as standalone PCSX2. You want both.

>>526982401
That seems to have been the impression I was getting

Which cores are the best for gba, snes, and genesis-megadrive?

>>526982643
mGBA, SNES9x (but have BSNES for edge case compatibility and hardware SGB emulation -- hardware SGB emulation gives you sound channels normal GB/C/A emulators won't give you in certain games), GenesisPlusGX (also get PicoDrive just for 32x games, but it's generally less compatible, and if you want to see the OverDrive 2 demo get BlastEm which lacks a lot of features you'd want otherwise)

>>526982643
There's a wiki for questions like these.
https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/

>>526983298
To be fair to him, I don't think they'll list the nuances of what the standalones and certain cores might miss/include.

Like you *can* play DSiware in the MelonDS core but you'll have a hell of a time getting it running. The standalone makes it fairly easy.

Also don't use the MAME core. If it doesn't work in FBNeo don't both and run it in Arcade64 instead. Plain MAME is worth getting if you're interested in strange home computer/early 80s console emulation, though.

>>526983947
I don't know why I always hear bad things about the MAME core for RetroArch. I've never had any problems with it.

>>526984305
It can work but I wouldn't put the two layers of configuration and UI on most people. Arcade64 will just be better experience for most.

Half my problem of MAME core is on principle. It doesn't work with half of RA's features which sucks for a software-driven core. It has its own internal GUI for controls etc instead of purely relying on Retroarch's. It's halfassed and awkward compared to most cores.

>>526984801
*with the MAME core

>>526975426
That's how far I got, too.

Ms. Pac-Man (sorta) works! For some reason, you have to launch it through "console.exe" You could probably get away with using Shaderglass as a workaround for not having fullscreen enabled.

>>526970642
Ah, I really need to add that to my pack! It was how I first played those games. I sank hours into Joust, Robotron, and Sinistar. I played a good bit of Bubbles, too. I sucked at Defender, though.

>>526989601
lol you're right, it doesn't require any compat flags or wrappers or anything either.

>>526989948
How did you manage to output sharp looking pixels? I've set the mode to clone and selected Ms. Pac-Man as the window, but it doesn't seem to scale well with sharp-shimmerless on my machine.

>>526989601
Who *didn't* suck at Defender? All Jarvis did was make carnie games.

I was reorganizing my files and moved the updates+dlc folder I used for ryujinx and now all my games don't have the updates/DLC applied, going through each game and adding it manually is a pain since I keep clicking a DLC file when wanting to add an update and vice versa which throws up an error.

Is there any way to just add the folder in bulk and have it auto-apply to each game?

>>526990385
It's all about the input scaling and source. Importantly, your source window should be as close to 1x as possible. You do not want to stretch the source window in any way, nor do you want to use the game's full screen which will arbitrarily stretch it. Garbage in, garbage out. Without DPI scaling, the default size of the Ms Pac Man window is integer scaled 2x, so I set Shaderglass to 2x input. If you disable DPI scaling in console.exe's properties, it should be 1x. I used a scaline shader, so I also set the shader to vertical orientation.

*Without disabling DPI scaling, it's 2x rather

After you get the input stuff right, you should be able to get a crisp full screen image through ShaderGlass's fullscreen (Ctrl-Shift-G by default)

>>526991275
>>526991420
>>526991525
Awesome, it works properly! Going into Properties > Compatibility > Change High DPI Settings > Enabling "Override high DPI scaling behavior" with scaling performed by "Application" helped out significantly.

It's a stupid way to do it but if you rename mappy.exe or any of the Revenge arcade games to mspacman.exe in place of the original, the console launcher will play those. I can't get the Revenge launcher or any of the standalone exes to work at all natively.

>>526992978
Ah, nevermind, if you just install it like a human being it works fine. I was trying to load it off from the files off the disc. I see how they work through the shortcuts now. The installer is soulful anyway.

>>526989601
>>526991275
>>526991761
>>526992978
>>526993648
Can any of this be automated or be put in a pack for others to use without having to do all this fiddling just to play?

>>526993756
Not from what I can tell, no. Even installing the game requires OTVDM at the very least, since a majority of games on the collection are 16-bit executables.

>>526993982
I see. That's unfortunate. So basically it's either fiddle with all this so these games play natively, or download a pack that uses PCem or forks that has them already installed.

This is physically impossible in PCSX2. You need to mash the triggers and it's just not registering the inputs fast enough.

>>526994892
>>526993756
Here's all the Microsoft Win 3.1/9x arcade games bundled together and ready to run. Based chinkseek for helping me figure this out: I have all the 32bit Revenge of Arcade games packed up here with batch files that allow you to unzip this into any folder and run them. If you have OTVDM installed the rest of the 16bit exes should justwerk.

Hmm, after installing OTVDM the 16-bit games do indeed work, but the 32-bit ones do not, even when running the .bat files. They just close immediately. Running Windows 10 64-bit.

>>526998818
You're right, and even with a shortcut to boot.exe with the argument mappy/mspacman or whatever it doesn't work on another machine of mine. Fuck. I bet it installed some library or key registry entry.

This new one includes a reg key that'll work. Tested it on a couple different machines.

RegCool is a pretty based program, searches much faster than RegEdit. An Epyc with 1tb/sec storage bandwidth couldn't do better than a Pentium 4 in RegEdit.

Nevermind, Registry Finder's even better.

Are you playing on one of the control panels at NASA?

>>527002234
Perhaps, VPS and FPS were 60 though. No over/underclocks.

"Works on my machine" is a completely moot point when it comes to PCSX2. I'll use Red Dead Revolver as an example. you have to hold L1 to keep the gun unholstered, so you can just stand there and physically see the emulator periodically dropping inputs because he keeps putting it away. It's unbelievably bad.

>>527002521
I'm not out to trick you anyway. Was hoping to have my illusion of a 95% complete emulator rocked once again. Wonder if it's the API you're using or even your controller. Is it wireless? You've complained of dropped inputs before. Maybe blocking dinput and using xinput, or vice versa, would help.

>>527002521
Does that event depend on a nuanced analog press or just the button being pressed at all?

Any way to do anything about the lines while keeping the effect?

You're mistake is to think you play some pc game that will conform nicely to your pc standards. Consoles and their games have no other standars that to what the devs had smoked or drink before making their shit. So, yes, GC/Wii doesn't output your normie 640*480 but 640*528, deal with it, gaijin.

Examining these more closely and looking at the filesizes, pretty sure all the 16bit ones (Dig Dug etc) are sims and the 32bit ones (Mappy/Ms Pac Man etc) are emulation. Dig Dug and Galaxian show they are sims by having bullets and other sprites move at 60/30fps when they ran at different rates in the original. Mappy and such go through the expected bootup processes making them more believable as emulation. MAME was kicking around by this time and I'd bet they stole/licensed from it or some other open source emu.

Weirdly deep shmup for '88. Just realized adjusting your ship's speed/afterburners is a rear attack. Not a huge fan of the two button orb toss, though. Double bind a button for that.

AC version for reference. The retro console ports are all cropped to work on 4:3 monitors and additionally need some ratio adjustment to look right, but are decent enough otherwise.

>>527032047
That's the framebuffer size. Just set aspect ratio to 4:3 and it'll do the same thing the real hardware does.

Bet anything they utilized a bunch of open libraries and resources and accepted commits from other devs too, even before it went open source. There's so many things you have to be good at when modern 3D graphics get involved, let alone translating draw calls and shit from alien platforms.

>>527051760
That does seem likely. All the games in the original Return of Arcade are from '96, while Ms. Pac-Man from the anniversary edition is from '00. (Technically '98 since it's originally from the Revenge bundle.)

>>527066706
It's really hard not to. Pretty much all documentation on older systems is derived from sdks or stolen shit(like oman).

C64 games with mouse support are rare.

Based decision on the dev's part, Arkanoid is unplayable with standard d-pad/keyboard controls.

It's funny how Magic Engine mogs Beetle/Mednafen and MAME in this game. Ares runs it okay, though.

Ah thanks. I completely forgot about that option because I almost never stretch the outputs of my games when I'm emulating them. It's weird that 4x3 for the gamecube isn't actually 4x3. Though I've been having some weird issues with my monitor's resolution.

>>527082130
Yeah something else to keep in mind is a lot of those old 4:3 monitors report a highest resolution of 1280x1024 which is actually 5:4. You'll probably want to set 1024x768 or another proper 4:3 resolution so 2D elements scale properly on it.

>>527083030
>1024x768 or another proper 4:3 resolution
I do, which is why I'm confused. You can see that that screenshot I took of soa is larger than what the os reports the monitor is set at as well. Its a crt so that probably has something to do with it but I never quite know what resolution its actually displaying. If i set it to 480p some games report it as 600p so idk.

>>527082130
Fun fact: almost none of the old consoles and computers that were designed for 4:3 tubes used 4:3 internal resolutions. NES, SNES, PCE, etc run skinnier, Genesis and Saturn ran wider, even DOS commonly used 320x200 or 640x400, and 720x400 for text. It wasn't til Windows 3 that square pixels were the norm on PC. CRTs didn't have "native resolutions" in the conventional sense, though, and these machines accounted for that, overscan and the ability to adjust the width/height of the image at will without making the pixels a mixed up mess. It was a weird time. It must have blown to plan out pixel art on a grid on those stupid things.

>>527082130
This could be because your video driver is scaling the image using GPU. When this happens your driver takes what it believes to be your native (usually highest) resolution and scales a lower resolution to it. So you could have 1024x768 set, but your driver is actually scaling it up to a higher resolution. Dunno if you're using AMD but here's the GPU/display scaling settings on Nvidia. Also check this screen in Windows to see if your desktop and active signal resolution differ. The active signal resolution is the resolution your machine's actually using, not just scaling to. Also you may want to use Dolphin's stretch mode instead of 4:3 to force it use all of your monitor's space, which should be fine as it's 4:3 anyway.

Hmm. I'll look into it. Thanks.

No stalker culture here.

Looks like this wiki entry confirms it.
https://pacman.fandom.com/wiki/Microsoft_Revenge_of_Arcade
>Whereas the previous Microsoft Arcade compilations used recreations of the games, all of the included games in Revenge of Arcade are properly emulated ports of Namco's arcade titles. These game ports are seemingly repurposed from the Namco History series, a line of PC games published by Namco in Japan; the Ms. Pac-Man port is sourced from Namco History Vol. 3. The ports themselves are very accurate to the arcade originals in performance, though all of the games have their audio pitched an octave lower.

since when did 4chan become the morals brigade

Is /emugen/ trying to get stenzek to kill himself like near did? does stenzek even read /emugen/

>>527097714
It's less "/emugen/" and more Ciggy.

Not a bad shmup.

>>527096791
c, can you shit?

almost at the end, bros

>>527098778
it's interesting

This one was a lil easy. Probably should have set it to expert but it's not like I'm great at these games, typically. Guess score's more of the point.

>>527096829
9-10 years ago, give or take

Never thought I'd suggest RA Dolphin over standalone but the frame pacing seems ass fucked in the standalone now. Was initially thinking it may be the game itself, but it's buttery smooth in RA and shit under every API in Dolphin.

>>527101029
Unfortunately the PS2's emotion engine couldn't handle the advanced diarrhea spray physics and individual shit particle calculations. It could do solid turd logs but that wouldn't be culturally accurate.

>>527109449
No combination of Dolphin standalone options fixed this for me, BUT, externally limiting the framerate fixes it completely.

Of note, Vulkan's hybrid ubershaders are broken in RA as they are in the standalone. Use GL or D3D11/12.

It's a shame they cheaped out and made Star Soldier R a caravan game. It seems like a solid enough core for a full game and it looks decent.

>PAL game where you play as a jeet slaughtering the gora with Hindi as a selectable language
Ya love to see it.

Stop me if you've heard this before but, this Indian software isn't very good.

>>526966019
That's insane some anons think this way, I personally hate voice acting unless it's in a language I don't know because every single actor is completely garbage at their job. My internal dialogue makes the characters sound much more interesting than whatever distracting asinine drivel comes out from some Californian faggot's mouth. It goes by much faster too. The only justifiable reason for VA in games I can think of is if you want to communicate something to the player without needing them to read it, like mid-game or some shit (even though they abuse the shit out of that too)

>>526919575
Mobile subhuman niggers and street shitters have ruined every single emulator that has tried to support them. Not a single emulator didn't get a shitton of regressions from supporting sewage on something that's retarded to play on to begin with.

I personally don't mind them if you're looking for new ways to play games you're already familiar and want some new ideas to approach it with.
