POORLY

Not in my watch

Dimensity 7050 is not good enough for ps2
that sucks

>>528562340
Other than Mali drivers being a meme, I don't why it would be so terrible, judging by the specs.

>>528562340
Wierd, jeets on /v/ keep telling me that phones are as powerful as PCs these days, don't tell me they lied?!
Imagine buying a 400 buck phone in 2025 and still not have enough gpu power to emulate the PS2. Do they even enough power to run those 120hz full HD screen? lol

>>528565819
and how well it did

>>528566027
Anything not Snapdragon is nearly useless for emulation since their drivers fucking suck, and the hardware might even be missing random capabilities because fuck you.

>>528566056
bad

>>528566371
how bad
half speed, 1/3 speed?

>>528566027
It's funny how one's really better off buying a $50 mini or Optimeme over these for the purpose of playing games. Unless, of course, you live in literal pod bunk or among a dozen in a 1br apartment.

>>528566450
not full speed even at lowest resolution

>>528562340
>>528567929
CPU's a toaster, try skipping EE cycles

>>528566250
is android emulation a luxury?

>>528571057
No, just make sure your chip is a Snapdragon since Adreno are the only GPUs with proper drivers, which matter more than raw speed for emulation.

>>528566027
Literally old Skylake PCs that people throw away as e-waste are MUCH better platforms for emulation.

>>528566027
That phone is only 400 bucks because of the meme camera. Nothing with a mid-low range mediatek is worth that much.

>>528572193
it's also a phone from 2022, that's the release price

did someone test that new ps2 emulator

Uki Uki Tsuri Tengoku - Ningyo Densetsu no Nazo (Japan) is the biggest piece of shit I've ever tested. There's a garbage buzzing noise that starts when you enter your name. It happens in duck, mednafen and Ares. I can't hear it in the Jap videos on Niconico and I assume they're using real hardware but maybe it's just not picking up on their mics. I want to be 100% certain but it will absolutely not work on a CD-R. So fuck it I guess I'll never know.

>>528581017

>>528582589
What's your bootup method? Are you using a PS1 or PS2? Chip or some other physical manipulation?

>>528585794
PS1 with a region free mod. I don't know the specifics. This is the only game I've ever encountered that won't work on CD-R no matter how slow I set the burn speed.

Yknow, I've never had burn speed make the difference for me. It was always something with my image or media or the burning app's settings. Not to criticize your process, I just wonder if it's ever been the difference for anyone.

>>528589717
It 100% makes a difference once you start getting into poorly programmed garbage. I have a PAL system and 10x is usually fine for PAL and NTSC. For the sort of jank ass Jap games I test I usually have to drop it to X5 or X2 in some cases. But this fishing tripe doesn't work at any speed.

>>528591515
Interesting to see it matter in any case.

>>528582589
Happens in NoPSX as well. I'm leaning towards game bug but I can't be certain obviously.

>raidou for me keeps crashin after I input my name, tried with citron and eden, ryujinx seems to run okish but sound is fucked
Try updating your Switch firmware. I use v20.0.1 and that works, to an extent. I certainly didn't have Raidou crashing when inputting my name on Yuzu's forks anyway, but sometimes the game might crash after you try to walk a few steps in the overworld after loading your save.

>>528543401
No one's telling you to move from Ryujinx.
Citron is definitely a no go though, and neither is Ryubing's Ryujinx since he's buddies with the Citron fag which means you don't know when he'll pull a sneaky on his entire userbase.

>>528634190
Although, I have even less respect from people who buy $1400 oled monitors with no strobing options at all lol, what a waste of perfect response times. You really can't see shit either ways.

>>528634702
*$1,000
First, it's fuckhuge and I prefer playing in the living room. Two, a hazy purple isn't black so any horror game is assfucked from the word go on any other tech. I've tried local dimming sets and it's all trash tech with terrible artifacts. Three, the response time means less need for strobing. Four, strobing kills VRR (and picture intensity) and input response is king.
To be frank I just don't notice the blur that much on my set. If this factor is paramount to you, I get it though.

Found another one. Simple 1500 Jitsuyou Series Vol. 09 - Watashi Style no Aromatherapy (Japan). Duckstation and Ares play garbage audio right after the BIOS, NoPSX is silent and doesn't play anything. Mednafen gets it right.

>>528561423 (OP)
for anyone using linux what distro are you most comfortable with? (for emulation up to ryujinx i mean). Or is windows mandatory? i was planning to make a custom build just for emulation + proton for some windows games, mostly for emu though

>>528640417
No$home living up to his position as the guru of emulation.

I know 1080p is limiting for shaders, but is there any RGB shader that looks good for this resolution?

>>528643680
CRT Geom Deluxe always looked decent to me. Needs a brightness/contrast tweaked a bit, and phosphor decay toned down some

These and others for composite and dithering in this pack.
https://files.catbox.moe/0grmpg.7z
Extract to \retroarch\shaders\, make sure slangp is updated

So what's the recommended Switch emulator nowadays? Sudachi or Ryubing?

>>528650810
Kenji + Eden, the "you need both" Yuzu + Ryujinx paradigm is effective.

>>528650938
Is Kenji really better than Ryubing?

>>528652184
Well, it's less gay. It lacks a few per-game/UX niceties found in 'bing, but they seem about the same as far as running games goes. Kenji seems less likely to block/report you for piracy. Fag devs tend to be top goys for corpos.

>>528634190

I was sorta playing it fine near launch, the sonic portion anyway. Shadow's part ran at native res no matter what.

I still find it hilarious tendies are unironically scared of anti-piracy screens.

i would be scared too after paying 460 bucks for a tablet as good as the games may be.

>i wonder how the actual game devs feel about the mod scene, like i imagine them modding the shit out of their respective models
Not sure about Nintendo themselves, but I know Rare hid a Speccy emulator onto 007 Goldeneye. (Makes sense when you consider Rare's beginnings.)

>>528675590
yeah the guys were true hackers. its funny that they started with nintendo by reverse engineering their consoles imagine that today lol. i can only imagine the fun they had with their SGIs

>>528676505
>its funny that they started with nintendo by reverse engineering their consoles imagine that today lol.
KEK, I could never imagine that at all. Rare made the best Pinball games on NES, easily beat Nintendo's own offering out of the water.

>>528676752
Although, when you put Nintendo's pinball in the context of early Famicom games, it's not a bad game at all.

>>528583238
I'd love for this to implement Parrallel-GS, might make it a more legitimate PCSX2 contender as opposed to something like hpsx642 or Play. (Although, Play having PS2-based Namco support is nothing to scoff at.)

The dulcet tones of a malfunctioning ice cream truck are all part of the experience baby. long live PISS.

>>528714359
I guess, still cool to see a NESticle-styled favela emulator.

You know Captain Silver was already visually hideous but it just wasn't ugly ENOUGH for my taste. Enter Ducky + PISS to really push it over the edge.

>>528716846
Good to know both your ears and eyes are being assaulted at the same time.

>>528724282
How about an x86 mini PC or laptop like a human being? They are plenty small and hook up to a TV just fine, and you won't be limited to (poor) 5th gen emulation.

>>528676752
High Speed's great. Think Pinbot's a little dull, though. They really vidya-game'd High Speed up and the minigames were kino.

>>528716537
Nesticle's sound was decent enough and what games/mappers it did support were convincingly emulated by the time it was discontinued. This hueport of MasterGear was nowhere near that experience.

>>528726296
Hardly any footage of that one on the 'tubes. Looks kinda interesting though, like some sort of SRPG with gambling when units clash. I just expected this to be some read-n-fap.

>>528726826
It's a game no one played based on an OVA no one watched based on a manga no one read.

I'm trying out some PSP games and I'm disappointed most don't have voice acting. PS1 discs are smaller than UMD and have full voice acting. Guess it's a budget issue.

>>528740142
>Guess it's a budget issue.
Most likely, it's not like PSP releases were treated the same as full-on console releases. (Then again, there do exist the odd couple PS2 > PSP ports out there.)

Is PS3 emulation good yet? I want to play MGS4 and Konami is taking too long with the master collection

>>528726296
>>528727934
>>528729154
Cute

>>528740794
Good enough for like 50% of games. I think you need a special version of the PS3 emulator to play MGS4, the regular version still doesn't work, I know because I tried it last month.

>>528740794
Ps3 emu is such a meme I've stopped caring for a long time and just go watching on youtube

Looks like Eden introduced a new graphical issue, objects randomly being invisible. (Thankfully this boss was piss easy, so I beat it anyway LOL.)

>>528740794
Peace Walker works.

>>528561423 (OP)
BONANZA

>>528740794
They fixed the freezes a few months ago

>>528728496
Because the answer is simple, it'll be whatever the max the game is designed for. If the game has dynamic res up to 720p and a fps cap at 30fps, it'll run at 720p 30fps on Switch 2.

>>528727934
YIKES, Japan. Get with times you can't be drawing stuff like this. You better start promoting hags, fags, and melanistic migrants or you're DONEZO in the west. Also, could you make it uglier, too?

>>528761320
That's still a thing, huh.
I wonder if it's more or less advanced than Play!

>>528763578
It's slightly more advanced than Play! the last time I did some testing, hopefully the Vulkan renderer works this time.

Nope, still present.

>>528758889
So emulator will always be better even if a game has Switch 2 upgrades that update textures/depth of field/etc?

Does GPU matter much for emulation? Debating buying a 9060 xt

>>528796547
Once the 3D enter the chat, yes. True, CPU matter a lot too, but don't sleep on GPU.

>>528796547
A 1060 6gb(~$80) is sufficient for up to 7th gen. ShadPS4 is VRAM hungry so you probably want a 3060 or greater with >=12gb (~$200) for that. Check passmark scores for AMD/laptop/APU equivalents. Anything beyond that's gravy. Bear in mind anything >=7th gen is not guaranteed to work properly at all. Some stuff's great, some stuff isn't.

As for CPU don't buy anything less than a 5800X, X3D if you can swing it. Intlel parts are defective now. Probably just wanna get on the AM5/7xxx/9xxx train just so your hardware's upgradable though.

>>528799982
>A 1060 6gb(~$80) is sufficient for up to 7th gen
GTX 980M 8GB faggot here: Do not trust this motherfucker.
A GTX 1060 can't do shit to play modern slop, and it will choke hard if you try to emulate PS2 with Parallel-GS. Forget about 3D Saturn games with CRT-Royale shaders; ShadPS4 is going to run like fucking trash. Man, you won't even be able to emulate Metal Gear Solid 4 on current Elad's bullshit on RPCS3.

Anyone who's tempted to get a GTX 1060 6GB for emulation purposes in 2025, the year of our Lord Jesus Christ... that poor soul is nothing but a complete retard with zero opportunity for redemption.

My brother in Christ, get that 9060XT.

i still have an old mobo, is a 5800x3d good enough for m you lay shun?

>>528801209
Never said anything about modern slop. Talking about minimums for <=7th gen.
>PGS
I have an AMD APU equivalent to a 1060 and it runs PGS fine. Not multiplied to the max, though. Like 2-4x.
>Royale
Is totally fine on a 1060. Saturn has no bearing
on GPU and is completely CPU driven otherwise. I've used this shader on a this tier of GPU plenty of times.
>Shad
Already said 3060 min for that.

Chill your tits. I'm talking about the minimum card for up to 7th gen and a 1060's fine. Elad3 leans more on CPU than GPU unless you uprender. Obviously one wants a more powerful card if you can get it. I'd say a 3060 12 is the bare bare minimum one should buy if they can. If one ONLY cares about up to 7th and no slop, a 1060 is fine. Even my APU runs plenty of slop and can run Bloodborne at 720/30.

>>528802643
Yes.

I wish the 9060XT was in the market and ~400 like it is now when I bought my 4070. I could use that extra 4gb. Seems similar and like it trades blows otherwise. Maybe a little less powerful.

>>528796547
You can emulate games on sub-$200 pre-builts.

FSR is a lousy upscaler though. I'm surprised DLSS hasn't been wrapped to work on everything. At this point I doubt it truly relies on Nvidia's hardware. It's probably just some closed/proprietary algo.

>>528809794
>It's probably just some closed/proprietary algo.
Bingo, which makes it even more bullshit when 20/30 cards supposedly don't support framegen. Not that you'd want to use that anyway, it looks ugly as fuck.

>>528809794
It does, someone would have to reverse engineer it.

>>528815039
>>528800775

>>528815976
thank you, i deserve the implied insults

but yeah if you wanna get a mid-range ~$400 GPU that's actually good for everything, the 9060XT guy is right about that, or a 4070. I'd probably go for the 16gb part even with the lower performance in some games. 4070 does run really cool, though.

>>528816269
I wasn't insulting you, just saying if you're going for a cheap/minimalistic setup, those are what you wanna go with. My main PC is overkill for resulation, really.

>>528816553
np, just a joke since i missed the post directly under the one i referenced

If you wanna cheap out and get something novel you could get one of those 7840/7940HS mini PCs. They go for about $450-600, have great IPC/emulation performance on the CPU side, and the integrated graphics trade blows with a 1060. You can also partition 8gb or even 16gb to the APU if you have enough RAM.

Which shitty switch emu fork will be the first to run prime 4?

the same one that runs the remaster

>>528834975
Don't they all still stutter when you open doors?

>>528835143
I think that was Ryujinx due to ASTC textures, heard the forks fixed something but dunno how well they do nowadays

Shame that nuPrime doesn't have the mirrors. Ice similarly reflected your model.

>>528836895
You know toy story 2 did the reflection on the visor thing before prime did? crazy.

>>528837529
I wonder what's in fact the first one to do that, if not that. Just to be clear, I'm referring to an effect in the world in my pic. The visor reflection when bright lights are shone on it are in the remaster.

Front Mission 3 "remake" replaces all 2D assets with AI, runs worse than the original and apparently crashes constantly. When people like Matt say they don't care if emulation is good this is the dystopia we get. If there was no fan emulation you'd either be paying people like him $500 for a physical copy, or $60 to a corporation for THIS. So you'll forgive me if I'm passionate about the subject.

>get PrimeHack running at 4K with dual-stick controls fit for a human
>nigger rig in gyro via DS4Windows

>get all the GameCube gunfire lighting and reflections nuRetro took from us
I could probably throw in some sloppa HD texture pack too. What remaster?

>>528846978
I've been emulating it since Connectix VGS back in the day. Every emulator runs it fine. If you're so passionate why do you hate emudevs so much and crucify them for minor issues in the most obscure titles?

>it's a ciggy is especially florid episode
When did Matt or Stenzek (two people) ever say that? Quote please.

and it's not just Mattzek, you've written screeds on here about how you think they're all a monolithic entity that are worth everyone's ire must be destroyed. Even if they are pieces of shit, their combined efforts over decades have allowed you to play and post all the dumb games you do on here.

>>528849607
>Every emulator runs it fine
As far as you know
>why do you hate emudevs
I think corruption is wrong

>>528850631
I'll meet you halfway that blatantly ignoring/WONTFIX :^)'ing issues brought to devs through proper channels is shitty. That you have to infiltrate some discord groomgang like a CIA operative to get anything rolling on Duckstation, because he shut the issue tracker on github down, is also really lousy. I really don't see the point of that. He's throwing away free crowdsourced QA. There will be jeet/kiddie/retard non-issues but those can be easily filtered and closed. I don't think they're all as bad as 'zek though.

but also, there's a reasonable expectation that any Playstation (or hell, Playstation 2) game you download will be playable to credits with minimal issues. I think that's a respectable achievement. We'll never see that in >=7th gen emus.

(not giving Stenzek credit for that, just the general state of PS1 emulation) I still find whatever issues you discover interesting, though.

Does using something like fsr + a crt shader make sense or is it redundant?

>>528851773
FSR is not at all a fit for SD content and pixel art. It will smear things terribly and ruin the image before it's even processed by the CRT shader. Decent shaders like Royale, GeomDeluxe, and MegaBezel are sufficient without FSR applied first. FSR is best used with a 1080P source upscaled to 4K. It's meant to neaten up an already fairly high res image.

>>528851245
I would think 7th gen would be easier with the advent of quality control and 99% of games are made on the same 3 engines. The reason there's so many weird broken Jap games on PS1 is because game development was a side hustle for a lot of companies. The game division would be half a dozen guys in a closet on floor 43 of a 200 floor light-bulb manufacturing conglomerate.

>>528852190
You're right, anon.
What about ScaleFX + a CRT shader instead?

>>528852214
Perhaps, but that's not what we're seeing in practice. One nice thing about PS1, even with the janky software, is that it's such a potato that we can emulate what it's doing to the cycle without HLE, compatibility layers, and other approximate crap. 7th, in particular, will probably remain worse emulated than >=8th a decade from now because it's all exotic PowerPC shit instead of a locked down ARM/x86 box.

>>528851773
>>528852423
The whole point of CRT shaders is they upscale. If you upscale before using one you're just slapping a shitty overylay on top of the image.

>>528852765
Makes sense. Sorry for the dumb questions, I'm new to shaders and I'm trying to understand more about them.

>>528852643
>we can emulate what it's doing to the cycle without HLE, compatibility layers, and other approximate crap.
Yes It would be nice. Most emulators including sucko just skip large chunks of the system entirely. It's why none of the Datel games boot.

>>528853379
What game? Didn't they make cheat discs/adapters? Not familiar.

>>528853036
>>528852423

>>528854265
I've tested a bunch of Datel and Gameshark discs and none of them boot. Here's just one example. They all work in Mednafen and Beetle PSX Retroarch.

https://github.com/unofficial-issue-tracker/duckstation/issues/169

Why is changing discs in retroarch such a shit experience?

>>528854434
That gif helps a lot, many thanks anon!

>>528854976
You're welcome, and honestly, ScaleFX is one of the better ones I've seen in an attempt to HDify pixel art. I'm still not a fan, but FSR's way worse.

>>528854918
Making M3Us makes it slightly less AIDS anyway, especially for diskette systems.

>>528857148
Same as PC, either Eden or Kenji-NX.

No mystery why unlicensed games don't work in duckshit. The part of the system they rely on is just completely absent. Laziness, corporate subservience, mental illness. Call it.

Absolutely, I've got the same GPU. However, it's far too early to be asking about Switch 2 emulation at the moment.

Fair enough, I've heard Code Monkeys tended to program their games within a matter of months.

Unrealistic

>>528862689
the big issue is that they went custom for the cpu this time so no well documentation. also lawyers. i think this time the name of the game will be modding (the console). either that or people actually create a scene of source code leakers and hack nintendo servers lol
emulation future is definitely looking grim for newer consoles unless some kind of new gimmick is found

is the wii U hard to emulate because of the gamepad with the screen? should i just buy a used wii U and mod it?

It's barely a factor in any important games. You can set an hot key to check the screen when you need to.

Does PCSX2 actually use cheats_ni/ws and its zip variants anymore, or is it purely done through patches.zip now? It's a mild pain in the ass having to re-add custom pnach files to that folder every time it updates to get no interlacing codes working.

I think I remember hearing that this animation was actually outsourced to North Korea which would explain a lot.

>>528796329
Of course not. Unless the update only increases resolution and framerate and nothing else, because you can already do that with emulation.
You can't have all the Pokemon SV improvements, for example.

>>528852214
That sounds nice until you take PS3 in account. Early to mid gen games made with generic shit aren't that hard to emulate, they aren't even intensive since they barely utilize hardware properly, basically treating it as a dumb, weak PowerPC. But when you get to later the gen and they learn to use the arcane shit that was Cell+RSX, shit gets dicey.

>>528874607
lol no, the gamepad was underutilized. Worst case scenario you can just have it as an overlay and use it as if it was a HUD element, since most games would just display a map or something like that.

>>528869278
Do you just say this every time you see scanlines? I've set those shaders up to look nearly identical gamma-wise to the source.

>>528886275
How would that make the production easier or cheaper in any way? You'd only do that if you wanted to make it weird on purpose

>>528886943
This, unless you're playing Starfox Zero (don't) most other titles can be dealt with via little work arounds or remaps. If you have a gyro capable controller you can map the GamePad gyro to it, and games that use the stupid mic/screen blow can be mapped to a button.

>>528889765
How would outsourcing it to one of the poorest most desperate countries on Earth save money?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEK_Studio

>>528890541
I understand that, but wouldn't communication with them be difficult, and isn't trade with them generally hard to set up? It's not like broadband/cell data was common like it is now, where they could just upload you the results. I believe it's tricky now to make such digital transactions with them, let alone then. It just doesn't seem like an established trade hub. You'd probably get just as good/better results with easier communication and trade with Mexico, or just some novice college kids.

I don't claim to understand how trade works with them, just seems needlessly difficult for a janky product, even if it's cheap.

Unless the devs had some weird insider relationship with them. I dunno.

>>528890954
One hand doesn't know what the other's doing. Dingo Pictures is/was a scam run out of a guy's house in Germany. Maybe he outsources it to South Korea and they on the sly out-outsource it to the Norks.

>>528891480
That theory makes some sense anyway.

Help me

>>528891731
Write color buffers. Always read the RPCS3 wiki before trying a game.

With Mario Party 4 being decomped where would I go on the wiki, if it is upto date, to find more info on that? I figured they'd have some other sort of site for the mods for MP4 or something. I'm curious if anyone has made some wild stuff for it as of yet. I recall Mario Party 64 getting a ton of mod support after it got source ported onto the pc.

>>528895587
Just search "source ports" on the main page. Afaik it was decompiled but not ported yet, so there's nothing yet.

Do you have brain damage?

I feel silly not tuning my 7800X3D for lower temps, it's getting so hot so I went ahead and added a thermal limit at 70C°, offset -0.015 on vcore, offset +150mhz on operating freq, and I'm shocked that the performances are basically the same but it's running 12C° lower than before and quiet. This is on top of the CO -22 all cores I was already running, and stupidly thought that was the only thing you could tune on this CPU.
I'm posting this here because I wish someone told me this was possible. You can do all this directly on the bios.

Is there any guide or tip for getting MAME up and running full feature set these days? I wanna grab marquee pics and a nice rom set but it's all very outdated stuff and the links half of em won't work, is there any definitive mame pack 2025 type thing? Pls spoonfeed I rly wanna reconnect with the arcade games of my youth

>>528909639
Yeah, I noticed AM5 generally needs some tweaking to run at it's best/cooling. You found the settings I would have mentioned.

>>528913362
*at its best/coolest, just kill me already

>>528913285
Find the latest merged set you can on archive.org and download it, then the matching Arcade64 version. That's most of the work. Then just download samples and other shit if you need and want them, should be easily google'd

another EZ same-temp basically-the-same-performance trick on AM5 is limiting the TDP.

>>528913880
I'll try I installed a rom pack on top of my fresh install of mameui, but half the rooms simply don't work, so many junk files to deal with, I'd like to find one where at least the roms in the files all work

*lower temp -- don't work or get old, kids.

>>528914283
It's imperative that you find a set that matches your version of MAME if you want a smooth experience.

They change the romsets and filenames MAME looks for all, the, time. I'm convinced it's because they hate us. Are people really redumping all these games in better ways with this frequency? I doubt it.

>>528914530
I see thanks I found one for the latest ver, holy shit it's 70gb, but whatever, I'm gonna end up with a 100gb folder for an emulator for 20 yo arcade games... But hey if thousands of them actually work it's worth it

>>528915446
You could just download a set of BIOS ROMs and pull from crocdb and you'll probably be okay.
See my post here:
https://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/525393008/#525978368

Otherwise yeah, the safe and best bet is to just get a match set + MAME version then build on from there as releases drop. You can download new MAME ROMs as new MAME versions and sets drop and have MAME look for them in multiple folders. That way you don't have to get the whole goddamn thing again.

>>528855852
I tried slapping a CRT filter over scalefx and it didn't go well

>>528915886
Of course it fucking didn't lol. Garbage in, garbage out. Their goals conflict, too.

The only shader I'd pre-apply before a CRT pass is one that removes dithering like CBOD or SGENTP. This way you can remove checker/jailbar dithering and still use sharp RGB style shading.

which version of ultimate mortal kombat 3 do people usually play on?

>>528907713
I mean just look at this thing, it looks like something made with flash retard

NTA but there is not a single Newgrounds faggot that cold make and animate pixel art on that level. The pixel grid looks normal and it doesn't look like vector-art trash or mixed res/plundered crap. I literally have no idea what you're talking about. Lots of PS1 and Sat 2D games look like this. Does this look like a Flash game?

HOLY shit kill yourself you don't have brain activity.

>>528907624
>>528920181
Zoomer piece of shit.

>>528909639
Obviously if you set a thermal limit it will run cooler.

>>528924529
Yeah, TDP may be a better way to cool it. Temp limit may introduce more throttling when less voltage/TDP would probably be the better way to go.

>>528886275
You're thinking of that weirdo Italian studio, Dingo did everything in-house.

>>528891480
Definitely not, they happened to reuse a bunch of assets they made in Deluxe Paint and put them over crappily hand-drawn backgrounds. If you happen to look at their earlier work like Perseus, they used Deluxe Paint for everything, including the backgrounds. (Which means they got lazier over time, which makes sense for Dingo.)

>>528862689
I think the Switch 2 selling so well on day1 despite nogaems is mostly because nobody expect an emulator to ever happens, so the next best thing is to get the thing on the lowest possible firmware and wait for jailbreak

>>528929871
the prospect of buying something for 450 and not being able to use it for at least a couple of years sounds insane for me unless i have money to throw or i am a security analyst or something

>>528930378
The fucked up part was that I paid less for my Steam Deck than I would've paid for a Switch 2.

>>528932620
really? current prices where i live are like 800€ for a deck (though it's pretty unknown so it's probably because of rarity)
by the way does someone know if the switch 2 has mandatory firmware updates?

>>528932913
I live in burgerland, so that explains why I paid much less for it.

>>528933013
I just checked, cost me $430 including tax. And the best part is that I can get games for free, no need to pay 80 bucks for a new game.

Anyone else using Batocera? I would consider my question emulation related. Has anyone else used the wine runners for windows games? Games run incredibly smooth, but at a price. Input lag. I can't get rid of it using wine for windows games. Works perfectly fine in Endevouros and Windows. (sorry, but windows definitely wins in this department, Endevouros is so close it doesn't matter for me.) Any suggestions? I use a mangohud command in linux to either disable vsync or force a certain vsync method, sometimes a framerate limiter or whatever else I might need. I don't see an option like that in Batocera. I'm on the latest stable batocera with a 6750xt and a 7600x with 16gb of ram. Just curious because input lag is pretty bad on linux. Using x11 helped a lot, but vrr won't activate correctly most of the time.

>>528933373
to be fair nintendo wins with the gpu this time, but yeah that's pretty fucked if you see the amount of games or you aren't tech illiterate and care about actually owning a device and being able to use it as you wish

whats the best option currently for switch emulation on steam deck using emudeck? should i just use the ryujinx that came with it or switch to a fork?

>>528934613
I'd go with Yuzu for its async shaders, makes stuttering far less painful on a deck.

Mame bros what's with all this bullshit duplicates and Xes in the available category? Is there anyway to purge all the X shits at once?

>>528936731
>Is there anyway to purge all the X shits at once?
Yes, you use Arcade64. MameUI lists all the weirdo shit like plug 'n plays and computers, while Arcade64 lists strictly MAME's arcade titles.

>>528937660
Alright thanks I'll try it

>>528938768
No problem, have fun with its shaders! Arcade64's bilinear shader makes standalone MAME's bilinear shader look like vasoline.

>>528938908
I'm too dumb to configure that stuff wo messing it up this is my first forray into emulators almost ever since I grew up with mame32 on CD as a kid, however out of the box arcade64 looks way more polished and handy than the mameui I was using, nice

>>528940454
Not to worry, an anon was kind enough to share their configuration. But yeah, I'm glad you're enjoying the polish so far! >>513956034

>>528940670
Bilinear was on by default for me, the only different things are bitmap prescaling 4 instead of 1 and bgfx video mode, can keeping those changed like that cause problems for any games?

>>528941478
Not that I recall, prescaling 4 should work on a 1080p display.

>>528941602
I have 1440p, no fuckin idea what that does tho lmao

>>528941904
In that case, you'd want 5x prescaling since it bumps the resolution slightly higher.

>>528942270
thanks seems to work OK

Nice upscaling garbage. I don't usually report problems with enhancements but it's so egregiously stupid looking and so obviously easily fixable I'm tempted to.
tempted to.

Gotta love how there's a bug casually crawling on the background.

I'm thinking of this one game I remember playing as a kid on mame32, I'm not sure what genre, could be a fighter or beat em up, it looks very similar to waku waku, but I remember the combs being more fast paced and there being more chars, goofy over the top action and cartoony graphics, anyone have any idea? It's a long shot for sure to aks like this but idk

Oh that. I thought you might have meant that. Does it not run 15fps in game? The 50fps container is normal and should stay that way so long as your computer's keeping up. What framerate does it seem to be running at in game?

>>528973919
Around that. Which is an achievement since it's barely rendering anything. The hub is 3 rooms and the rest is minigames.

I think what's going on is he's loading the game bin file without the cue/redbook tracks. This is likely resulting in him missing those tracks. Yknow, if it wasn't obvious enough from his handle and pfp that he's a retard. Could be avoided entirely by using CHDs, or not being a retard.

I just loaded Pac Man World with the cue/bin and tracks loaded properly, and I could hear the title theme. I then just loaded the first track with the game on it like yoshifag is doing. Would you care to guess what happened?

I was referring to the song credit in there. To be fair though ALL old school rockers and pop stars were nonces by today's standards. I'm pretty sure that was always half the point of the gig and an implied perk. They were all notorious for dubiously aged puss.

>>529015907
It's always PAL shovelware fucking emus up the most. It's in their blood to turn in stuff against standards that runs fine on hardware but confuses emulators that expect games to run a certain way. Like that pinball game that wrecked GB emus for ages.

>>529016390
Jimmie Johnson's a red blooded patriot. Not some limey Euro.

A better example would be Chris Kamara's Street Soccer (Europe) which crashes on the loading screen in Duck about 50% of the time.

Uki Uki Tsuri Tengoku - Ningyo Densetsu no Nazo (Japan) is the biggest piece of shit I've ever tested. There's a garbage buzzing noise that starts when you enter your name. It happens in duck, mednafen and Ares. I can't hear it in the Jap videos on Niconico and I assume they're using real hardware but maybe it's just not picking up on their mics.

Finally got it to work, but the setup was rather convoluted. I basically had to use this program https://github.com/Seregon85/GCConverter/releases in order to convert the .gci into NTSC-U. Then I had to go into Tools > Memory Card Manager and create a blank memory card. (It's very picky about how you name it, the naming scheme is something like "blank.USA.raw".) From the same manager, I had to import the converted .gci. But that's not all, I had to go into Options > Configuration > GameCube and change Slot A from "GCI Folder" to "Memory Card," This was when I had to select the blank I just imported the save from, and it worked just fine.

Using ePSXe as it was intended. Funnily enough, 2.0.5 refuses to boot this "game" at all.

It can work, but it'd have to be a CRT shader replicating a PC CRT at 640x480. That is, after all, what ScaleFX was originally made for.

>>529102945
Yeah, you don't want to use 86Box for Windows XP. It's far too demanding for the kind of hardware that you'd want to install Windows XP on. Windows 2000 is more doable, but even so, that probably works better on a regular VM as well. 86Box's niche is Windows 9x.

>>529260068
Ares does not have 90 percent compatibility.

>>529260848
I don't know then. Suckstation regularly breaks games on purpose so maybe that's it.

Leave it to Kero

>>529262919
I'm glad your PS1 emulator is finally able to render graphics but maybe it's not ready to be shown off yet.

>>529261231
Hows epsxe's compatibility these days?

>>529257840
>>529258567
Delete your old configs.

>>529264772
No clue. I used it maybe 10 years ago and it kept crashing in Wild Arms and I never touched it again. Does it even get updates anymore?

>>529265143
Guess wild arms was in the 10 percent.

>>529265537
More like the 41% because it kept dying.

https://aeongenesis.net/projects/sobs
I'm sad they never finished this. Last update was 2019 when they said it was their highest priority :(

>>529268797
I'll finish it. Give me 3 years.

I can't tell if this is working properly or not. The FPS counter says 120 so it's running uncapped. It does seem to be running fast but not to the point it's noticeably broken.

Humiliation ritual

>>529262919
This is literally how the developers intended it to look.

Ok so if you have a game in parts and an update file all rars, are you supposed to merge them all together? Or just merge the original game and then the update file is applied through the emulator?

>>529268797
Also make sure to remind me every once in a while.

>>529240945
TFW this game is considered "CP" in the US. (Really.)

Does any extremely BASED individual have a link to this game? It's missing entirely from the redump collection on archive.org, and only has the cue file in the Myrient zip. Nowhere to be found on the searchable clearnet. Anyone have a torrent with the most current IBM redump shit?

>>529264772
Phoenix/Midas games seemed to have a regression in 2.0.5 that prevented them from booting.

>>529284959
DUDE THOSE UPDATES ARE SO FUCKING FUNNY THEY MAKE ME WANNA MERGE WITHOUT LOOKING!

How come japs never get off their asses and make emulators? Or chinks either for that matter.

>>529290635
They do, but only for their eroge machines.

Which Genesis emulator/core has the most accurate sound?
Is it still GX because it has Nuked?

>>529293827
Yep, but BlastEm is no slouch either.

So I was playing some MH Freedom last night and saw that just like in vid related the top of gypceroses head flickers around 23 seconds in.
https://youtu.be/3n0Xs1CaVY8
Could some dedicated ciggy tell me if that happens on original hardware?

>>529293827
GX, blastem, and ares are I think as good as it gets when it comes to genesis right now. kega fusion

>>529294571
>kega fusion
Ironically, still not a bad emulator to this day. It aged a lot more gracefully than ZSNES.

>>529294675
zsnes still gets sporadic updates my friend. It hasn't even hit peak soul yet.

>>529293918
>>529294571
>>529294675
Fusion has sound problems with some games
Just tried the latest BlastEm nightly and it makes a high pitched ear piercing sound at the beginning of the Stage 1 theme in Alisia Dragoon
Ares seems fine
GX seems like the best option at the moment

>>529295435
>Just tried the latest BlastEm nightly and it makes a high pitched ear piercing sound at the beginning of the Stage 1 theme in Alisia Dragoon
Interesting, you could submit that bug on BlastEm's discord. Mark of Destiny has been known to fix audio problems in new builds once someone has made him aware of said problems.

Last I checked Xenia is a flaming bag of shit, but is kinect support a thing yet?

I really want to try this.

https://youtu.be/JBhopzuySHA?t=1635

>>529298013
It probably won't be a thing for a long time, I personally want to play Kinectimals because it has Invader Moxxie in it.

>>529298402
Speaking of the Kinect, apparently a Kinect was used for the animation in Where the Dead go to Die.

Now that's just rude!

>>529300594
>Where the Dead go to Die
I've never heard of this before but it looks like mindfuck territory

>>529302141
Oh absolutely, it has visuals that will give Resident Evil a run for its money!

in other Eden news: the damn rifts aren't [as] fucked anymore

>>529302131
which tranny dev

Anyone have any experience with Macintosh emulation? I want to check out the original Marathon games.

>>529306131
Nah, but since you brought it up, I might as well try it for myself. Basiliik II, Mini vMac, and MAME seem to be the best options. Mini vMac has a libretro core, so it seems like the easiest emu to work with.

>>529294675
>>529295296
That Kim Justice tranny on a Kunio-kun sports game video say on the videos that he couldn't play the super famicom dodgeball game translation because it didn't work on any of his "setups" KEK it's obvious that he's using zsnes because the thing works on Snes 9x, how the fuck ppl STILL use zsnes.
I think that creature Pro-Jared also use zsnes.

Vinny Vinesauce was still using Project64 until very recently. He switched to ParaLLEl Launcher after one too many games were fucking up and refusing to run, and even then he still has problems because he can't into plugins.

>>529306710
>Azel did wish us to mention that as of this writing, the game has issues with ZSNES that can cause it to lock up, especially after performing a special shot. So use SNES9X, ‘mkay? Neither The Whirlpool nor Azel can be held responsible for lockups in the ZSNES emulator.
Gotta love how even the patcher tells you to use Snes9x instead LMAO.

>>529307170
>ParaLLEl Launcher
Ugh, I honestly hate that launcher so much. What's the point of installing a separate Retroarch in appdata of all places? I get its main purpose is for SM64 hacks, but it's still inconvenient.

>>529290226
so um which way white man?

>>529312029
I was shitposting there, but I'll try and address your question for real. Was it a multipart rar? If so, those definitely have to be merged. Then you apply the update through the emulator. (Assuming you're using something like Yuzu or Ryujinx.)

>>529312205
thanks

>>529317180
NP, happy emulating!

https://github.com/ares-emulator/ares/issues/173
>Ares STILL doesn't have per-console input settings
This is the one thing preventing me from using this emu at all. Any time you switch to playing a different system you have to completely remap your controls since their automapping sucks dick.

>>529290635
Wasn't SFF a jap emu?
>SSF is a Sega Saturn emulator developed by Japanese programmer Shima and first released around the turn of the new millenium. One of the system's more accurate emulators, it has seen multiple updates in recent years to include ISO and bin/cue support where it was previously required to run discs off a physical drive. The emulator has also seen Android support in recent years.

>>529324190
>developed as late as 2020
Damn, I expected that emu to have stopped development much earlier.

>>529324190
I don't usually hear people talk about it. Is it any good?

>>529307170
kek right on cue for Smash Remix too

They do, or did, for up to 5th gen. 6th gen+ simply needs more brain/manpower than a solo anonymous hikikomori can provide.

I imagine if a collective of phonebookable nips started making next-gen emulators the Jap glowies would come down on them hard.

>>529329626
It was the only option way back then but I think now there's no real reasons to use it over mednafen/beetle saturn. I don't think it could upscale anything.

>chinks
>tech innovation
topkek

>>529336879
It'll run on taters still, that's about it. I believe SSF was the basis for a Cotton release on Switch, as testament to that. Any i5 bought in the last decade should do run Beet/Med though.

should i switch from yuzu 4097 to some new fork for TOTK? is performance much better?

>>529337115
Not really... but fuck it, you might get some incidental fixes for other shit. If Eden sucks just go back to Yuzu final.

>>529335695
India sucks so fucking bad it's unreal. Who do we blame more, though? Indians for sucking or the British for modernizing and globalizing them?

>>529336879
>Saturn upscaling
First, stop. Upscaling means something else. Every emulator upscales. I know it rolls off the tongue but it doesn't mean increasing the game's resolution like you think it does.
Second, basically no Saturn emu uprezzes because the emulators that do it have serious problems with both the core emulation and increasing the resolution in many games.

>>529337371
One can only imagine how different things might've turned out if Alexander had succeeded in conquering them.

>>529337785
anyway Yabasanshiro and Kronos can upscale

>>529337930
Cool, the sound and VDP emulation is fucking wack, though. It "OOOOPscales" though, sure.

>>529337843
I don't. I just imagine how different it would be if they weren't CEOs and smelly weak rapists in our countries, that probably get caught so often because they barely manage or bungle their assaults. I imagine if they were left alone to play weird sex Twister in their Dark Soulsian poison river and never given a pipeline to Europe or built up to compete globally by pretentious Angloids.

>>529298013
Xenia's getting better believe it or not. I never thought I'd say it would match RPCS3's compatibility or get even close to it, but I think canary gives it a run for its money. Especially with RPCS3 on the downward spiral and people reporting new games breaking all the time. With some ini tweaks like gpu cache clearing it's solid with more games than you might think. Feature set/UX is pretty lacking though.

I also found switching to XMA's new decoder and SDL to fix some sound issues in a few games in Xenia as well. Of note, be sure to lower the sound buffer to the minimum amount in xenia_canary.toml. It's laggy by default.

The Hybrid Front just got a english translation.

>>529341630
I couldn't hope to muster the attention span for a 16bit SRPG, but new games for non-runic people are nice.

Hello is President Bush there?

>>529341630
Nice, look like a mix between Front Mission and Advance Wars, on the megadrive.

Which RetroArch shaders are suited for using on an Android phone? Is there anything good to test, or just stick with overlays?

This game is excellent and could have been easily McLocalized. Just color one of the kids black, change the story to a hunt for the hidden treasure of KFC or some shit and add a splash screen telling lil' Cletus and Hooter to be all they can be and die in the Middle East.

And that's 1800. If someone wants to update the wiki info. I've got one more game I need to check on real hardware when I get some more CD-Rs and then I'm taking a break.

Doesn't the existence of blacks contradict the existence of God and the game's entire premise?

>>529354067
It just might, or it proves that god is Yahweh, the demiurge, or some similarly malevolent entity which is in line with SMT/Persona.

>>529354267
I have a profound interest in all those ancient myths and gods and shit. Seems like SMT would be right up my alley, but it seems like a daunting series to get into.

Think of SMT like the Souls of RPGs
They have a "hard" reputation but if you aren't a retard you'll be fine
It's a fun system to play with and lots of ways to play in a way that's your own while still having to strategize and learn

>stares into the camera with a defeated expression for a moment, landscaping sounds in the background

Oh yeah, it's emulation time.

Eru: What are you doing here alone uWu
If monsters attacked you'd be in more trouble than Trump at an anti corruption hearing.

>>529405461
Even if a Pokemon game were to release in that state, you'd know people would buy it.

>>529408979
It's actually an improvement compared to the real game graphism.

>>529409759
LOL true, it's not 15fps.

>>529408979
Especially if they left free-cam on.

>>529410843
Heh, I walked into that one...

>>529306710
If the autist can't be bothered to update his emulator, imagine the state of his domicile.

Did you fags see that new Switch emulator? It's called Hydra and it's not based on yuzu or ryujinx, and looks like it can already run some simple games

>macOS
Kek, very Kek. Tell me, how many times do you have to bash an autistic person on his head with his own computer until they understand that Windows is still the major operating system of people with computers?

It would honestly be silly if he didn't at least take some of Ryu/Yuzu code or concepts. I don't think anyone's gonna get anywhere being a lone wolf on 7th gen+ systems.

>>529414481
hope he's having a blast with metal

>>529414991
3D and GPU has been the bane of Emu dev since it's inception. Look the number of pre-3D emulator vs Post-3D ones. It's just simplier for one lone autist to make a emulator for a 2D machine that can run on a CPU only and display, at the end of day, very simple things at the screen.

>>529414481
He says it'll be available on other OSes later. It's honestly a good thing right now, keeps the emulator under the radar, especially since pic related.

>>529415667
There are some people I'd have faith in like TheMaister or whatever his dumb name is, not looking it up, but even his specialty is only one piece of it.

>>529414481
IKR? Even Loonix would've been better than crapOS.

>>529414991
Of course he's taking stuff from available documentation/source code, you wouldn't get anywhere alone, specially not so fast. It's just not a fork.

>>529417460
How long until idiots come out of the woodwork and accuse him of "stealing" code?

>>529417775
I doubt the dev will care, he's just doing it for fun.

>>529417775
As soon as he WONTFIX something and another ciggy is born.

>>529415015
I'd say he's having a Blast...Em.

I'm so glad SkiFree's borders aren't cut off.

Did they ever fix the awful input lag in PPSSPP? Last time I checked was in like 2020.

>>529430450
idk but i can play monster hunter freedom on it just fine so you have no excuse.

>>529414991
Hopefully not. It's too risky given that Nintendo is owner of the Ryujinx/Yuzu codebases and claims that the emulators are illegal and thus the license on previous versions of the code is invalid. No one making anything new should touch either with a 10-foot pole.

>>529435834
Nintendo don't own anything and certainly not the Ryujinx code base.

emu

0/10 lack of a cat-eating muppet

Do PS2 games packed as CHD (noticeably) increase CPU usage when emulated? It's getting hot and I don't want to trouble my shitbox more than I need.

>>529456353
I don't think so.

>>529447680

>>529465620
Walmart CD core.

>>529471936
Much worse, Russian bootleg CD core.

>>529430450
You could probably cut a lot down by turning off buffering in the main settings, using VRR (pretty much every flat panel worth owning has it now) in a high refresh rate container (120hz+), and using the D3D11 renderer. Per RTSS it gives me the least lag. Feels pretty okay to me in shmups like this and Gradius/Parodius.

Anyone know how I can rip models from Dolphin? Preferably with the textures/materials too.
Pipeline I've used before is:
Extract w/ Dolphin > Find model with BSSK viewer > Export > turn to OBJ with Noesis.

There has to be a better way...

Has anyone in Gaza ever made an emulator?

Déjà vu

Man, bloodborne on 60 fps is something else.

>>529482857
Just a year ago it was unplayable.

>>529483520
Funny thing is I actually bought a used ps4 just to play co-op with my friend after I showed him. So now after we finish playing on console I go back to booting chadps4. It's the only game I wanted to play in the ps4.

Games like this are mental crack to me. I love them so much. Here's an open area full of stuff to collect and activities to do. Battle for Bikini Bottom, Psychonauts, Banjoe Kazooie, Mario Odyssey, Stubert Little on PS1 and 2, Tinykin, Chibi Robo etc... They don't make them anymore because leftists hate themselves and ruin everything.

>>529484484
Grow Home/Up, Goat Sim 1/3, I Am Bread, Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom, A Hat In Time. Not trying to convince you modern/indie games are based or anything, just legit trying to give you new things to play along those lines. Yooka-Laylee too, but I wasn't a huge fan. It Takes Two has that miniature world thing going, but do you have a friend to play it with, Ciggy? A cigarella perhaps? Toy Commander for the DC was also neat in the way you describe.

>>529485525
Kao the Kangaroo round 2 and the newer one with the guy that sounds like a eunich. Jak and Daxter, Ty the Tasmanian Tiger. Toy Story 2. Little Gator Game. Spyro 1 2 and 3. I've played all of them and my niche is not being satisfied.

>>529486056
What'd you think of Psychonauts 2?

>>529486431
I didn't like it as much as the first one. The stages were shorter and less intricate. I liked the story a lot though. I also pirated it as soon as it released so I played a quite buggy version.
Richard Steven Horvitz hasn't lost a step. He can still do the voice as well as he did 16 years ago.
