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.

So noob question here. I got Retroarch on a Switch and I wanted to play some Japanese snes games with the Snes9x core but the text while not unreadable is "too pixelated" or sharp. I know nothing about shaders so I tried some crt ones but they all just make it look too blurry or add some weird colour effect. Are there any settings that would make the text more readable?

>>529574113
>Are there any settings that would make the text more readable?
sharp-shimmerless is my go-to, it can even upscale lowres win9x setups without making the text unreadable

emu

>>529574113
>>529574961
Yes, what you're looking for is a shader that'll iron out those uneven pixels like the one the other anon mentioned or bandlimit-pixel. If you're not picky, simply turning on bilinear filtering in the video options will be enough for you if you don't feel like digging through the shaders.

In 2006 Hidden Palace dumped a game called Spirit Master (Nov 18, 1997 prototype) and in the 20 years since no one ever bothered to check if it works in emulation. It doesn't. In any of them. Instant black screen. I thought maybe it needed special dev hardware or was dongle protected or whatever but it works fine on my PS1. Excuse my thumb.

https://github.com/unofficial-issue-tracker/duckstation/issues/226

You shouldn't go off-topic by explicitly stating this kinda opinion on such hotly debated issues. It's already implicit by entering /emugen/.

>>529605912
Is it any good?

>>529608079
It's just a tech demo. Looks like it would have been a very standard 3D fighting game.

mustard gas, yum!

>>529608768
How did they even manage that?

Has anybody gotten the latest Ryubing release to work with TotK? They said in the changelog they fixed it, but it still crashes immediately while loading for me.

>>529608440
Looks pretty good for a PS1 game. Doesn't look fun, but it looks graphically good, and thats really all that matters.

Alright I whacked it on the Ares tracker and the unofficial tracker. We'll see how it goes.

Yeah, same, can't get it to boot in anything for shit. Beetle gave me some hint about it possibly being a bad sector. Maybe the hardware just glosses over whatever problem everything emu's running into, or the way you burnt it got around it.

I would imagine there's probably some way to force the program to work in emus but I'll be damned if I know right now.

>>529614410
Here's the error duck throws up. And I didn't burn it in any special way. Standard x10 speed with regular CD-Rs. Worked perfectly on the first try.

>>529614764
Yeah I imagine hardware is looking for something, or isn't looking for something, in this image. Kinda just wanna know how to get it to work in emus at all but there's little discussion. I imagine the image or the files on the disc have to be doctored just a tad.

>>529614908
there's not a problem with the game because they posted a video of it working when they dumped it. If there was it would quit to the BIOS screen, not just crash.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tS-x7ipLKIY

When I tested the Robocop PS1 tech demo that didn't work on literally anything including real hardware and would just kick you back to the BIOS.

>>529605912
could be a bad dump or have some kind of copy protection

>>529615478
I literally posted a picture in the post you replied to showing it working on real hardware. Why would it be either of those things?

>>529605912

Redownload it again, someone was able to fix it. It's because the original ancient ass bin/cue was repackaged by someone incorrectly eons ago. A working bin/cue is in the 'fix' folder. Works fine for me in Mednefen, so you can probably close your issues.

>>529615427

Redownload and try again, anon. Same issue as the other one. Oddly enough it worked as is in no$psx, that emulator probably doesn't care about the bad license data in the disc image as much as real hardware. Oh well.

>>529615209
I'm not arguing that there's something wrong or missing with the emu if it runs in hardware. I just imagine it must be some sort of BIOS or drive emulation problem extremely specific to this.

>>529616882
>>529615710
He'll just argue that it works on hardware even with the bad/weird dump. Where's the fixed files for these, btw?

>of course it's the media and the burning software just auto-fixes it for him
Should have went with my gut. Ohhhhh, ciggy.

Has someone tried Ymir? The new Saturn emulator? I wanna know if it's better than the other ones.

>>529574961
>>529583589
Thanks for the suggestions. Choosing one proved to be harder than I thought. The bandlimit-pixel shader was closer to what I wanted but I could never get the blurriness right so I tried sharp-shimmerless and its variants. Which in turn also became a bit of a nightmare since I couldn't tell some of them apart after a while. I think I'll go with the scanlines one even though I'm not a fan of that effect but it's the one that allows me to read more easily. Sharing this in case someone find it helpful.

There aint no way I'm emulating this complex TV tuner, so don't get your panties in a twist. If you want to explore the menus then use this code. Make an internal cheat with address 2095128 and whatever value you want. Start from 0 and go up. You'll hit all the different menus and some test menus. The G&W games start at the high 20's but loading them this way causes the border to not display. Probably need to make an unlock code so you can load them from the proper menu.

>>529724258
Oh wait, I don't think these games have borders. Either way, this AR code unlocks all the G&W games in the normal menu(value 11 with the previous cheat).

I had it like that, except the resolution. Is dogshit, it gets stuck during booting Dread or it crashes as soon as I try to start a new game.

I wiped the whole user folder and I set it up from the scratch but the problem persist, I haven't touch anything but graphics. FW 19.0.1.

Pretty neat how you can display hitboxes with lua scripts like that via FCEUX or Mesen. I'm not nearly good enough at debugging and scripting to do that, but it's neat that it's possible. I respect him for doing this.

I remember enjoying the demo as a kid but never got to play the whole game. I played it recently and it's so fucking hard. No way they play tested this.

>>529744467
If there was ever a game that needed "hitbox" data it's this. It's absolutely wack as a rhythm game and it has nothing to do with emu-lag.

Remember when the guy who made Nesticle, arguably the fastest NES emulator of all time, came back to make the slowest NES emulator of all time for Intel Macs? Then he abandoned it, and Intel Macs aren't even a thing anymore. How many people have bothered to compile and run this piece of shit? It may literally be a dozen.

I wonder if I got rusty or something... I don't remember being this bad at that game when I was a kid.
Also, is there a way to run certain games with certain cores?
I got these filters for zelda and megaman 1 which only run on mesen, but I want to play my other games on FCEUmm.

Hey faggots, XEMU dropped an update just like, right now.

I should be searching for cores or max Ghz?

Can't go back.

>>529762076
Hell no, man. You have to press at whatever arbitrary behind-the-scenes windows it's looking for. On top of that the game wants you to improv (not tutorialized) which is usually repeating the last note to the beat (which is fucked)

Um Jammer is much better made as a rhythm game. Probably the best in the series overall, really.

I remember on some dating site ages ago I chatted up a girl who mentioned Parappa in her profile. We discussed it for a bit and she swore it wasn't broken but rather it was designed "intuitively" and made sense somehow. I hope HPV is killing her.

>>529753575
What did they fix?

>>529783330
This isn't from that version, but a few months ago they implemented some GPU code to fix sorting/priority/geometry popping through things it shouldn't. So, it is actively getting better.

>Parappa 2 works much more logically as a rhythm game
>the music and themes are a steep downgrade, and it turns out when the game works it's really boring

>>529746143
It should just prompt you for core every time you attempt to load an NES ROM or a file type that more than one core can handle. If you don't want it ask you, load the core first.

If you load a game from the game history list, it should use the last core you selected or you can tell it to use another core from there if you goofed.

>>529796302
yeah, I did this >>529795994, and also saw I could add to favorites from the history, thank you.
I just wonder if it was possible to add multiple instances of the same console, but with different cores each (I actually forgot how to add a console instance).

>>529754413
If you already have that, it'll skate by on 6th gen, especially paired with a 750ti-equivalent GPU. I'd go with i5-4xxx or newer, should be just as cheap.
TL;DR
For Sat+6th gen you want these passmark scores:
CPU: 5000 multi, 2000 single
GPU: 4000
7th/Switch
CPU: 20000 multi, 2500 single
GPU: 7500
ShadPS4 tier:
AMD Zen4+ only
GPU: 16000
Just about any shit lappy from 2010 or newer should do up to 5th just fine.

Here's an ignorant question about FPS.
I'm currently playing through Ape Escape 1 on duckstation, and seeing some slowdowns in the larger areas.
My computer is plenty beefy.

I know emulators tend to hold accuracy in high regards and that older games do have some quirks about FPS.
So I'm left wondering if these slowdowns are due to the emulator going for accuracy, the game itself being like this, or some messed up emulator setting on my part.

And when I say slowdowns I mean from 30 fps to 24 until I pan the camera away.

>>529856250
MU50

>>529881801
I think it's the internal fps who drop in your case, which are not your pc fault, it's just an accurate emulation of the console dying trying to display the game.

>>529883230
That's what I was thinking.
It's annoying sure, but not too big of a problem.

Thank you anon.

>>529881801
yeah it emulate the slowdown, that's why there's a console overclock setting in the option, which should fix the slowdowns.
I think there's a gpu overclock option too but wtf, I can't find it anymore. Maybe that's just a swanstation option. But just OC the CPU should be enough. Any other reason you're getting slowdowns is you set the runahead frames too high, only 1 or max 2 frames is enough or things can get wierd. Could also but your frametime buffer is set too low.

and of course PCSX2-team are a bunch of footstamping retards and take an "IT'S NOT OURS (fuck the end user)" stance when it comes to PGS. Emudevs are all low functioning oppositional defiants. The whole "we're not adding PGS" thing makes me cig out.

>>529868695
Consider extending your frame delay time for your gifs so we're given time to process each one. EasyMode is pretty chintzy, very basic shader and darkens your image a lot. Try to compare and adjust your shaders vs raw, then tweak the settings so they look similar. HD Silent Hill just doesn't look right as the other guy said. I think a decent, non-darkening CRT shader + downsampling is the way to go in that game.
Here's what I use for gifs and picrel is how you change the frame delay, you can select all frames and do it in one go too.

>>529933352
Outside of missing peripheral support and forcibly stretched 4:3 FMVs, nothing in particular. The bullshit stems from LRPS2 being the only game in town if you don't want to rely on anon builds.

It's especially ironic when Ares of all things has Parallel-RDP, yet the PCSX2 team doesn't want to implement Parallel-GS because "muh danny."

You have to have some investment in this line of shitposting. Are you a libretrofag gatekeeping it or a PCSXtroon refusing to add it? This isn't the first time you've spouted this bullshit. Say the "it needs the shaders" line too. That's my favorite.

There are just as many who would argue shaders are zoomer/reddit. I prefer them on a screen that can pull it off. A 4K OLED is basically min-req. I prefer sharp bilinear on anything else.

Fuck no, Retroarch's netplay setup is much less complicated than that.

It'd be a lot more believable if the graphics were fucked up, funny that scams like these are still around. I remember the pre-Citra/Xenia days, and they were dark....

>>530068825
I'm calling bullshit.

>>530070789
As long as it's a libretro core, it will work just fine. Or are you talking about netplay ON 5th gen consoles? Seems highly unlikely if it's the latter.

>>529799964
so i cannot run shadps4 with my 5800x3d?

>>530074797
I meant to correct myself and say Zen3+. That CPU should be fine when that game works in Shad. Afaik that one's still broken. Check the discord.

>mister dev actually resulted in improvements we can use on PC
Looks like the N64 core dev made a patch for Knife's Edge. Wonder how many other instances there are of this, or game's exclusively compatible with Mister cores.

>>530068825
>Just happens to render perfectly in pre-alpha
>It's just slow guise don't you believe me?
Oh fuck off. It'd be more believable if it was minutes per frame and looked like surreal garbage. Usually when things look this good it'll at least run at quarter playable speed on contemporary hardware.

>>530066661
Okay man we'll see how other, more demanding triple A games shake out. Definitely low ball a build for that!

I could not in good conscience recommend lower than a 5800X for shad. Even then, that's a stupid suggestion because games deeper into PS4's lifespan that use the hardware more extensively will easily require more, and AM4 is dead.

I beat Shining force FC, the people did not lie when the end levels are bolt hell.

Eden git is dead and the github mirror repo released "tmp_backup". Drama? I just want to play video games man.

In general, is it better to emulate original arcade games or their home system ports? I want to try Twinkle Star Sprites, but turns out it doesn't have an easily emulatable PS version, so I'm left with Saturn and Dreamcast ports as alternatives.
Is Saturn emulation still shit in 2025 for that matter?

you really think pokefags won't find a way?
there were hacked together yuzu/ryujinx builds a few hours after the last game leaked at day -7 or something

Smash gen. is a cesspit so I think I have to ask here.
I'm running LDN with a buddy and while it's all gotten smooth - we have shaders, we have DLC, all that shit - the game will suddenly freeze and No Contest despite both of us still remaining in the match. Official Ryubing support is useless because despite owning the console and the games, my Switch is a newer model that can't be hacked. Is the LDN just highly temperamental?

So which systems are fucked emulation wise?
I know of ps3,x360,xbox,vita,cd-i.

>>529513639 (OP)
upskaato

>>530134437
CD-i (particularly the video cartridge games)
Kind of a tie for the rest, honestly. Think they'll be in that awkward "80% of things boot and play but half of those have some some sort of obnoxious visual bug or random crashes" state indefinitely.

Nuon, iOS, Hikaru, and LaserActive. 3DO M2 running full speed on reasonable/existent hardware. It was pointed out to me that Minotaur Rescue and Minotron 2112 have beta PC ports available now, so that's a least a few less reasons to emulate iOS.

I was playing Radiant Silvergun and Nights just fine in SSF in 2006, Mednafen/Beetle core has been fine for years, and Ymir is good and getting better. It should be no problem to play this game on any of those.
>arcade or home port
You have to DYOR on whether the home version adds worthwhile features and content but the safe bet is the arcade game. Just download the neogeo bios and game off crocdb and play it in FBNeo.

You need 7zip (or Nanazip) to decompress both files.
The core will have 2 folders, just put them inside your Retroarch folder, you'll have a new core Sega - Paprium, it's a modified genesis plus gx, the rom is a folder with a .bin and another folder with the music files, let as it is and load the .bin using the Sega - Paprium core.

Thanks, you posted all the info I was about to. It's interesting that this is working without the sound chip and reading MP3s instead. Whatever works.

>>530196363
Is just a regular walk and sock with a bunch of bells and whistles you know good music, sound and "graphics" (all the sprites are sprite hacks but hey).
Good indie gaem for a cheap saturday afternoon that become a meme because of all the circunstancies around it.
The watermelon guys are pure retards, they had a win with Pier Solar, why not just go ahead and no be unhinged? Just make your funny beat em up game, release for a reasonable price everywhere and have a career like how many other that are doing the same, but no they had to be quirky and retards.

>>530198280
>but no they had to be quirky and retards.
Thank god for Mega Cat Studios, their games don't need fancy FPGAs.

>>530200919
I'm pretty sure the whole point of that tacked on hardware (along with cheating and basically not making an MD game at all) was to work as DRM and keep the game's 'mystique' and rarity. So fewer people could see for themselves how mid it is. It has some nice backgrounds. OST isn't blowing me away. The bisexual lighting (purple blue-to-red gradients everywhere, it's a thing, look it up -- everywhere in modern games) and all the sprites being so gay and pervy looking sure is a choice.

>>530201515

Paprium a Mega Drive game that was on kickstarter for some 12 years, them it was released for some youtubers while the plebs are still waiting for their copy uses a FPG chip for DRM so ppl was saying it was "un-emulable" got "cracked" today see:

>>530195243

>>530224014
>some 12 years
Holy fuck. Kikestarter is such an awful cancer.

So, to resume, Paprium is a fake Megadrive game with traced sprite and animation running on a fake Megadrive cartridge using some FPG component half because it couldn't run on real hardware and half as a DRM of sort. Except is got cracked and emulated in the end. Denuvo, that shit was not. Kek.

It still leans on the base hardware a fair amount, but I'd compare the chips it had to a 32x tier expansion or so.
I hope for this sake it was a scam and he made bank on this, and didn't overspend on all the marketing and chips. If he's not liquid after all this the lawsuit or criminal case could kill him, and he likely has one on his hands after coming short on supply.

To be honest, I'm glad Paprium exists. It's mid, but it isn't terrible, and everything about the art and con both in the game and meta is cool. I like that there's some French freak willing to make a maximalist MD game with weird chips bolted on to it in such a loud style with a schizo hardware manifesto bundled with it. Then he fucks up the delivery of it and it's hard to say whether its insanity, incompetence, or both. The world is more interesting with things like this in it.

Seems like dyna-recomp only works on some guest CPUs right? I am able to select it with a Cyrix chip but not Pentium. However, I can get said chip to run at 400mhz with far fewer slowdowns. The guest itself may be shittier as a result, though.

I'm pretty sure the way it's setup is that you can choose to turn the dynarec on or off for chips below the Pentium, but for the Pentium and up, it's forced on unless you download a debug build IIRC. I haven't tried the Cyrix chips to be honest, so I don't know how they handle, but I've read that you have to clock them considerably higher to get around the same performance in games as Intel and AMD CPUs, though apparently the higher clock speed makes Windows run a good bit smoother.

It's crazy to see 100% speed in a 700mhz PCem guest in any case.

>>530395350
Damn, anon. What specs do you have to achieve this?

>>530395470

This chip was quite the performer, lol. Guessing it's about equivalent to a P2 500 or so.

They both have ~250 songs, this one's localized, and I can change the notes to arrows which I can read far easier especially on chords. Convince me to change versions.

Oh nevermind you mean actual PC not teknoparrot. I'm not buying this game and loads of DLC. How superior can the PC version possibly be? What's different outside of maybe mods? It runs fine on Switch.

It's a Seganuvo game so I'd have no choice but to spend an assload (or maybe get it on sale and use creamapi) to get all of it.

I have no clue why the fuck capcom didn't release this on pc. Did they sign some sort of nintendo exclusivity deal or what?

Mods to add songs. Im pretty sure they just added latest PinocchioP songs on PC version

Any recs on a decent usb N64 controller? All the ones I can find apparently have bad joysticks, either they're fast to wear or one direction doesn't work right.

RPCS3 appimage doesn't launch on endeavorOS. I complied it and it worked fine but I would prefer the appimage for portability.

This Ryujinx fork seems far more legit than that Axiom emu.

I'm using endeavor and the appimage seems fine to me. Are you using plasma?

memelonDS had its big "1.0" release. Disappointing to see, considering how many big bugs it still has. Including some built-in features that outright don't even work wav file input for the microphone.

>>530495758
Glad DSP (used for DSi sound in some titles) optimization is at least being considered. Looks like I'll be computer-boning for a lil longer on that one, though.

I recently started playing Snake Eater on PCSX2. A feature of the game is that you can recover health and stamina by quitting the game and waiting. How does this work on PCSX2? Does PCSX2 have an internal clock running like how the real PS2 did?

>>530496597
It uses your computer's realtime clock so you can wait between sessions like on hardware, or set a time manually using this per-game option.
>>530476642
Yeahhh, that's Xbox for you, but it has weirdo 6-8s that are worth a shot and exclusive to it. Like Spikeout, Wreckless and Breakdown... and most games work now so it's a decent time to get into it.

Xemu needs to auto-update with a canary/latest artifact path. Every emu with auto-update needs this, really.

I can somewhat authoritatively say up to 6th gen. I played a couple gamecube games waaaayyyyyyy back in 2018 on it like a champ. Could even do some PS2 (no enhancements) but wii was a tough sell.

Technically they can all be played, but with major caveats.

>>530521828
Superstars is the most playable, personally I'm extremely nitpicky when it comes to texture issues.

I had a first-gen i5 with some relatively mid-range AMD dGPU laptop back in 2010. Several PS2 and GC games ran at <100%, but some were okay. Perhaps optimizations have been made since but I wouldn't recommend it at all for 6th gen.

>>530520103
Superstars only has that texture bug right? One can live with that. I've gotten Shadow to work okay in recent Eden builds. Frontiers, however, is a crashy shitshow in both emus.

>>530542858
Some optimizations have been made since then but you'd have to test to know for sure how much better it is.

I will not answer that, fuck you.

>>530585664
Some madlad made a mod for Frontiers that took all the assets from the Switch version and put it on PC. Seems like a great candidate for a 60fps Deck mod.

>NOOOOOO I have to also download the BIOS? NOOOOOOO

>>530510482
To be pedantic, it technically has an HLE bios that "works", but I'm being charitable.

>>530586757
The Deck can't pull 720/60 in that game as-is? Getting the game to look more like the Switch version is not ideal.

>>530599719
Sadly not. Even at the lowest (in-game) settings, the Deck can only manage 35-50fps. As far as the Deck goes, that Switch asset mod is the best way to maintain a constant 60fps.

>>530600208
Couldn't justify one of those unless I took public transportation all the time. $400-500 minis are nearly 1060 tier and travel well, especially with some shitty USB-C monitor. That 750 tier iGPU in that thing just ain't cutting it.

Deck 2 has to be around the corner, right?

To be fair, he did display a whole assload of Game Genie codes, but that seems a lot hackier than a simple .ips patch.

>>530519918
I played the leak on some random yuzu build just fine, unsure how it adds up with any of the meme forks or with the full release. Then again I'm not really autistic about visual glitches unless they are egregious, and I never saw anything (at least on the shadow side) I wouldn't know anything about frontiers though, the game is shit.

bros...
I tried installing retroarch, but how do I put the core thing to run my donkey kong country without looking horrible?
the screen looks squished, and it seems more pixelated than what I remember it on the console.
Some guides said snes9x was the best core for it, but I picked snes/sfc snes9x because there were a lot of snes9x, and I don't see any way to make changes on it.

>>530624939
The core isn't the problem. It's how you're scaling/shading it. What you're doing is nearest neighbor, non-integer scaling which means it's the raw, original image, but it's stretched to fill the screen with uneven pixels. To fix this and maintain a 'raw' look with even pixels, you need a shader like bandlimit-pixel applied. You could also set bilinear filtering in the video options and blur it a bit if that works for you. Alternatively you can dabble in CRT shading.

>>530626596

excuseme but, where should I click so I can modify these options?

Ah hell, it didn't loop, and I need to start using these captions instead of stupid filenames anyway.

>>530626798
Exit to menu mid-game, quick menu, shaders. If you can't figure it out from there 'sharts isn't for you.

If you just wanna fuck with scaling, just go to settings, video, scaling.

>>530627431
I guess sharts ain't for me then...
I can't find that

btw I think I saw a image of people with multiple cores with different games, how do you make those "playlists"?
I may want to add another game after if I manage to make this one run fine

>>530629103
>I guess sharts ain't for me then...

Shaders is located on the bottom of the quick menu.

>>530629225

but there seems to be many of them and I'm not sure which ones should I be checking out.

>>530629853
I found this "guide" gonna check it out
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxQnmlnIDnQ

>>530629853
My favorite shader (sharp-shimmerless) is in pixel-art-scaling. If it doesn't end up working for whatever reason, changing Shader #0 Filter to Linear helps. Once that's done, you're all set. No need to adjust settings, since the shader's doing the job all by itself.

This is really the best Xbox as to offers ?

>>530632090
thanks, for now I picked this fake-crt geom one, but after I reset the program, I noticed the shader got lost, is there any way to make retroarch remember the shader I picked?
also, can I use different shaders per game?

>>530633930
>is there any way to make retroarch remember the shader I picked?
Yep, picrel. Global will apply the shader preset to all cores, Core will only apply to the current core you're using, and Game will apply only to the game.
>also, can I use different shaders per game?
Absolutely, this is where the Save Game Preset option shines. You can also toggle some of your shader presets by pressing the period key.

>>530634601
>the period key.
Or m key, forgot to mention that too.

>>530634601

Been a while since I talked about it, but I've decided to redo my 86Box Windows pack. I realized the Socket 7 build I went with was too limiting for those who aren't like me and have a PC actually worth a damn, so I decided to start again from scratch, this time with a Super Socket 7 build. This foundation lets us use not only Pentium MMX processors, but high-end AMD ones as well, including the K6-III+ at upwards of 500 MHz. The good thing about it is you can clock it as low as 100 MHz, as I do here, if you CPU sucks shit.

For the rest of the hardware, I decided on the AWE64 Gold for sound and the Voodoo Banshee for video. Both of these work quite well on Windows and should have good DOS compatibility as well, and having only one video card simplifies the build overall. The Banshee can, of course, be upgraded to a Voodoo 3 if desired.

Speaking of Windows, I decided to replace Windows 95 OSR2 with 98Lite, installed through the Windows 9x QuickInstall project. This is Windows 98 SE, with all available updates, but debloated and using the old non-IE Explorer shell, which means it has almost all the benefits of Windows 98 SE but with a much smaller hard drive footprint, and it's just as fast if not actually a bit faster than Windows 95 OSR2. After a good bit of testing and comparison between the two, it just seemed like a total no-brainer.

Of course, now I need to get around to reinstalling all the games from the previous W95 pack, as well as setting up DOS mode yet again. Thankfully, many of the games are as easy to install as simply copying the folders over to the new hard drive image.

This new pack will still be incorporating both 86Box and PCem, the former for all the cool new features, and the latter for speed. Even my shitty PC seems to handle this machine rather well for the most part at 100 MHz, though, but YMMV.

>>530635063
It's in Quick Menu > Shaders > Save Preset.

>>530635221
thank you, I found it, I guess I'll be checking each shader manually until I pick one I feel confortable with.

>>529513639 (OP)
"Our LDN implementation manages and routes players together in virtual networks on a central server, allowing players to connect to "local" wireless networks over the internet. Ryujinx connects to our server and can set up, scan for and join networks which are fully managed on our side to make them as easy to scan through as possible. Connecting to a network is only the first step, though. When a game is connected to a network, it will start using the BSD service to open sockets to other clients in the network, identified by IPs and MAC addresses provided by the LDN service. This is where our magic happens - BSD sockets created while connected to local wireless are proxied over the internet, to allow players to connect to each other from around the world!

The proxy performs all packet routing between clients of the virtual network. Connections between players are Peer-To-Peer by default (the proxy runs on the host), so long as their network supports NAT configuration with UPnP. This ensures the lowest latency possible between players in each game room. If this fails for whatever reason, or you manually disable P2P, you will still be able to host by proxying all traffic through our servers. If you can't host in the P2P mode, you can let someone else host for most games to avoid this."

if jewtendo killed ryujinx how come they didn't nuke the servers to kill LDN?

They go after people that torrent because with a torrent you're sharing the copyrighted material, too, not just downloading it.

>>530731714
No, they go after you because it publicly broadcasts your IP in association with the transaction to everyone.

Where a file locker requires subpoenas, a backdoor/fed-admin account in the most ideal situations for them -- it's a lot more work. Anyone can police and rat on people for torrents. iknowwhatyoudownload.com's a helluva site.

>>530733729

somebody should make a usb-to-composite adapter for ez emulation on crt

>>530749349
At that point you are making a limited GPU or copying the system's actual GPU frame buffer over to an composite/component adapter to USB, which = lag. At that point you may as well get an existing HDMI/DP/DVI/VGA/ to composite adapter.

>>530749936
nta but video over USB exists and is even part of the specification these days and whatever latency it adds is below human perception.

>>530750252
You haven't looked into this. Video to USB/DP over the motherboard doesn't work on every motherboard. Even if your card shoots USB/PD out, or your motherboard carries the signal from the GPU to USB, you still need an adapter to actively convert the USB/DP video to composite/component. So you still get lag, smartass.

The only way you're going to get a lag-free video from PC to CRT-TV is via transcoder or if your TV supports whatever cable/output your GPU has.

>>530750252
Not him either, but whatever you use to convert to component/composite will introduce lag. Converting something like HDMI/whatever to VGA is lagless with the right adapter, but not to composite/component.

Just get this cheap piece of shit, 3 frames of lag. Runahead/preemptive your crap and it'll be nearly native.

>>530751289
>3 frames
Dude.
>3 frames of run-ahead
That'll result in visible roll back glitches in 95% of games.

... or, yknow, transcoder+AMD GPU. The gold standard. I guess if you don't want to build a PC around it or use a lesser card that's a pain in the ass, but are you really connecting your primary PC to your CRT-TV? Those parts and a build good enough to power it are like $100-150.

Honestly though, as hesitant as I am to suggest this, a MisterPi + analog IO board may actually be the best way to get up to 5th gen to a CRT-TV. I'd consider that if I didn't have a computer and transcoder set up.

>Eden has recovered from that freak's episode

No new releases/actions yet though.

>>530751651
I have one of those, it's not terrible. I even played some guitar hero and did well enough

>>530750974
Those converters really only introduce lag if they have to scale the image. If you send a 480p signal then they really don't have a problem sending out 480i composite.

>>530760212
You mean HDMI to VGA? These don't even have a framebuffer, just pure signal conversion

>>530760762
No I have a displayport to composite/svideo converter and if I set that display to 480p on my computer I don't really get any lag. There is a little bit of digital noise in the signal though but its really only noticeable if the screen is really dark.

>>530761049
Which one do you have? I need to get one of these

>>530733319
>>530733729
It's the sharing and distribution of copyrighted material they care about. They're not gonna go after people downloading roms even if ddl sites broadcast the IP of everyone that downloaded them.

I see EWJ anon is still fighting the good fight.

>>530761230
Just some chinese crap. Sorry its an hdmi to composite converter actually. Look up SUNNATCH HDMI to RCA(S-Video/Composite/AV/CVBS) on amazon. I'm a compobro myself but I do use s-video with it just because it helps with that noise in the signal but again it depends on what your watching/playing that makes it noticable.

>>530758431
I know, it's probably okay for many situations and many people. Just saying one can do better if they're interested.

>>530761253
Oh come on, you bet your ass they would throw john doe lawsuits at those IPs if they could.

I dunno why people are so allergic to doing the CRT-TV thing right, lol.

>>530763045
Needs a source port.

Just embrace the SCD version with a decent composite shader.

>that moire and compression when I jpg'd it
Oh fuck I need a better conversion algo or something yikes

Better.

>>530766384
With a file size like that you might as well just use a png.

You could probably use Guest's NTSC shader and use that to perfectly blend the dithering while dialing down all the composhit artifacts so it looks as good as it possibly can.

>>530766439
The original png's 8mb. 4K shader shots are yuge. I could probably optimize it a little more and have it look okay, though.

>please fix my emulator for me while I sit back and collect patreon money

>>530766705
That's already way toned down and basically svideo, believe it or not. There's hardly any fringing or rainbows or smear in that. Just a grille, scanlines, and horizontal resolution pared down enough to blur the pixels. If you really want an RGB look w/ blending you can pre-apply a shader like sgenpt or cbod, then use something more conservative like geom-deluxe or guest/bezel.

My issue is the colors kinda suffer if you don't do more tweaking elsewhere, and other shaders often result in false positives here and there, which is why I prefer doing all the blending through Guest's shader.

>>530767082
Demonstarted here. For some reason pre-applying sgenpt royally fucks up geomdeluxe and produces System Shock 1 drug colors. Cbod works in combination with geomdeluxe, but it's a more aggressive algo.

Okay, I have SGENPT paired with a similar-enough shader to demonstrate the algo. Actually think CBOD looks better in this game.

Here's my attempt with Guest-NTSC (using regular EWJ because I can't be arsed to download the Sega CD version). I only made changes to the NTSC stuff and slightly lessened the default horizontal blur. The mask/scanlines stuff is all default otherwise.

>>530771814
Are you using a dithering algo combined with it too? Looks like cbod or similar first, or maybe that's something that can be ticked in guest's options. Haven't looked at that shader in awhile.

Just tried it myself, looks like that's just how it blends stuff by default. Colors are real shot, so good on you for fixing them up. White could be whiter, a problem in many shaders, but you did a decent job.

From looking at the settings it looks like RetroCrisis and Guest are very similar. Looks like it's a fork or addition to it.

These are a must. I have contrast/color/brightness settings for retrocrisis that probably work just as well in guest to maintain the raw image properties, but I imagine you know what you like.

The trick is to change the NTSC Phase to 3-phase, lower the NTSC resolution to around 0.8 so it actually blends stuff, then change the color and chroma settings as seen here so colors are as vibrant as possible. The sharpness parameters are up to taste, but here I basically made it as sharp as possible without making it look blocky.
>>530773339
2-Phase and Mixed can both work as well, but I find at its best, 3-Phase just slightly edges them out in sharpness and color vibrancy.

Here's how it looks like with further tweaks to the mask and scanlines.

Hmm, come to think of it, Adaptive Sharpness should be at -10 rather than 10, as the latter seems to introduce some edge artifacts while the former doesn't.
>>530773036
Just about every named shader pack, such as RetroCrisis or Mega Bezel, uses Guest as a base now.

>>530773912
Now looks a tad contrasty. I should just let you be happy with it. I've wasted some evenings just ticking shaders on and off and comparing the raw image, and sometimes punching up the contrast or colors makes something look better.

>>530774230
kek yeah, it's a never-ending chase for perfection. Sometimes I'll come up with something, feel it looks good, save the preset, only to load it again later and decide something's off about it, and in I go again to tweak parameters for an hour. It's probably why I lately have just been using sharp-bilinear, as it Jest Werks. My autism has other outlets, such as minmaxing FF6 or tweaking my 86Box machines.

>>530774629
Afterglow is a hard one to nail down too. Both my VGA and TV do it so I have at least some reference.

What game should I play to alleviate my gamer fatigue?

Im trying to get Breath of Fire Definitive Edition to work on my chinkheld. First i tried a prepatched version of the game wich wasnt recognized by Retroarch, then i found out RA can softpatch and put the .ips next to the romfile. When i now start the game RA actually says the patch was loaded, but i end up with a blackbox. Anyone has an idea what could cause this?

>>530799734
Use a real emulator on a real device. I've literaly that patched rom and the whole thing work just fine on Ares on a Windows PC.

Why do load screens still exist in emulated games, even for really old games? Shouldn't old games like Mega Man X4 have their load screens completely gone or reduced to like 0.01 seconds or something?

Why don't the PCSX2 developers just merge paraLLEl-GS into mainline? Are they retarded?

>>530803931
Most (see shit) emulators already load games a lot faster than they're supposed to and it breaks a lot of them.

>>530801529
im aware i could just do that, but i still would like to get it to run on there, and i dont really see why it should not work

>>530805467
They're too dumb to finish it so there's no point.

>>530803931
You're not thinking very critically to ask this.
>why doesn't something that pretends to be a machine, running the original software that accounted for how slow the drive and CPU were, act like the original machine and software?
Most emulators have CPU and optical drive overclocking settings that can shorten load times, but are unstable. Some games like'm, some don't. You can also just fast-forward.

>>530803931
You can speed up the load times in most emulators.

>>530809569
*why does

>>530809390
Even as-is it's a huge feature. They could just put *BETA* and let people know it's not ready for end-user support.

>>530797556
Picross DS.

>>530799734
I don't know how you're fucking up. I downloaded it from RGT pre-patched and it starts right up in the SNES9x core. All my SNES cores in fact.

>They could just put *BETA* and let people know it's not ready for end-user support.
That usually doesn't stop people from complaining.

>>530814049
Doesn't stop devs from wontfixing and ignoring them. It should still be there so we don't have to use the crippled libretro version.

What are the best 4k crt-royale settings?

>>530813129
I patched it myself with Lunar, maybe the original game wasnt the right version. But it plays fine on PC, so idk. I will try the prepatched version, ty for reminding me of that option.

>>530816385
I'm partial to my royalesvid settings but everyone's a critic. You should probably just fool with it yourself and turn the shader off and on to see how it's affecting the image. I don't really like Royale as an RGB/sharp CRT shader. I have others for that. Here's my latest dumb shader pack, "3 composite" is the Royale one. Place in retroarch/shaders/ and update slangp in RA.
https://files.catbox.moe/fxls7b.7z

>>530766709
>4K shader shots are yuge
bullshit

>>530838428
Saved through Retroarch, yes, they are. I was taking that and converting it. It's perhaps smarter to just screencap into a smarter jpeg algo.

>>530838428
It's very much dependent on how much fine detail is in the picture. A regular nearest-neighbor scaled screenshot won't be that big, and yours is helped out by the large amount of dark/black areas. A full 4K image showcasing a finely detailed shadow mask across the whole picture, however, will be much bigger.

>>530839160
Even the kind of grille the shader simulates has an impact on filesize. One can fuck around with how they save/convert to jpeg, though.

I know absolutely fucking nothing about 3DS and 3DS emulation, what the fuck is the difference between clang, gcc and msvc?

Ok but which one is the best reeeeeee

>>530860153
I have to google or LLM "which of mvsc, etc etc is most optimal for the end-user" every time. I imagine it doesn't matter a whole lot. If it runs stable on your machine it's probably as good as any other version.

>>530865062
The best plan is to become the change you want, anon.

I went to Joypolis in Tokyo and Ace Attorney has 3 unique cases playable there exclusively. I thought it was going to be some cheap amusement park attraction type thing but it was straight up playing 3 cases from the games (investigation bits are at different kiosks you have to walk around and find).

Played one case with my jp gf and could understand maybe half of it but it was like an old charming case from the 2D days.

I dont suppose these three cases found their way online and translated have they? I would think not, but I was surprised how even virtually every modern arcade machine, and some niche rare shit, is emulatable, so maybe?

>>530880582
I don't understand the point of emulating non-exclusive games and never will

>>530883912
Unreal Championship 2 is an exclusive game. The gameplay is tuned around a 2-weapon loadout, melee, and emphasizes adrenaline more. Not to mention it's in 3rd person. A lot of unique assets and maps. The engine's slightly different too.

Are there any torrents up that would contain everything up on hshop/myrient? and is azahar up to date with everything that citra had in it's last build?

There's probably a lot of PAL versions of games that aren't PAL-native (this is almost all chaff, as most of these weren't properly converted to 50hz), reprints/revisions, and J-games that have an acceptable western version that can be tossed out, for instance.

There are some PAL and J games that don't have a western NTSC release. These are worth keeping because you can force 60hz on them and not have the experienced ruined by eurotrash electronics.

Japanese VNs and tacky western slop like LSL, BMXXX, The Guy Game. Most games then had female protags with T&A too, like Bloodrayne.

>>530978027
Based retard. Very few cases of this actually being true. They always cook *something* wrong in a remaster and you're usually trading effects, AI/physics behavior, and art direction for fidelity and convenience. Some exceptions, though. I think Kex Shock1 is the best way to play it. Not that remake though.

>>530979913
And they are insanely bloated in size.

ReShock2 also ain't that bad. Fairly conservative in what they fooled with, artistically, looks like what an Xbox version would have been. Being able to play it half-decently with a gamepad is nice. I still have to bind certain things 3rd party though, and could probably get it working okay with DS4W in classic if I wanted to

I could swear I heard rumors of a Shock2 DC port back in the day. Wonder if some wheezy sumbitch has it behind blast doors.

>>530982603
With emulators and source ports, you can fix most of the originals the original had without butchering the effects, lighting, physics, AI, textures, and political sensibilities.

or slight mods/hacks to the originals. I'm not saying all remasters are shit, but a number of them have some sort of asterisk. I don't know if the ones remastering them do it out of spite, or lack an eye for detail. I also don't know which one's worse. I ask this question of many things.

>>530982923

Huh, never fucked with Telegram. I do use nextgenroms and I'm on a number of discords that are helpful though. Never had an issue getting Switch games. Commercial homebrews are tricky, though. Where would one even start on there, anon? Any telegrams worth joining, FBI-man?

>>530988950
I don't use telegram, I also don't use discord, I just saved a bookmark with a telegram channel that people made for switch stuff after nintendo went after yuzu, but that was a long time ago and I formatted the pc and lost it, but I know those are out there, I don't have it tho

If I wanted to emulate some old game that hasn't been remastered officially but fans made an awesome job which would you recommend? Trying to play some lost classics with the best experience possible.
Also, is there any texture pack for Shadows of Rome? I loved that game as a child

The one to the left is NxBrew, the others, I don't know but I'm sure they must be referenced somewhere on the wiki.

>>530987965
Holy shit it did. It found the middle one in the first search n$wped14 and the third one r0m$fun
The first one still eludes me though

>>530989929
just use the fan modded version and for mods there are only moddb and nexusmods

>LOTR: The Third Age on gamecube
>The fucking pelennor fields mumakill combo fight at the very end game

Jesus that shit was fucked. I guess one of the devs back then fat fingered the mumakills priority value or someshit, because that single fight is both the hardest and most ballbustingly unfair battle I've ever seen. I recall tries where I literally didnt even have a turn because the mumakills would get priority over me and stunlock my team until defeat from the get go, it was a soul draining experience.

Here a vid of it (not by me, but basically exact same thing happened);

is the gamecube version the best version? ps2 has always been considered the most powerful console of that generation

>Most powerful of her generation
Kek. Go back to /V/.

3 rupees deposited in your bank account for that post, nintendrone
keep up the good work, sridhar

someone should make a digital foundry like youtube channel that compares framerates from multiplatform titles from old consoles, that's easily a 100k subscription channel with 30k views/video

>ps2 has always been considered the most powerful console of that generation
Unironically, it was the Xbox. That thing was a literal PC.

>>530996727
xemu is nowhere near the level of dolphin and pcsx2 tho

>>530997007
The quality of the emulator and the quality of the console are two different things.

>>530996727
A PC with, for 2001, a pretty great GPU. It was effectively like a GF3.5 and on an SD-TV it could convincingly punch above many PCs at the time.

>>530995898
PS2's weird. When it was pushed by its most knowledgeable devs it could have a crazy amount of polygons and alpha/transparencies/particles on screen. Some of these scenes didn't run as well on Xbox, like the MGS2 rainstorm. The VUs could also be convinced (often at great expense) to do stuff like soft shadows, motion blur, depth-of-field, bump-mapping. The image quality was ridiculously poor (low color, low resolution, aliased, interlaced on average) and it didn't have much RAM for textures, though. Xbox is more powerful, but at those clocks, hardware, and chassis size it ought to be.

Another 'fun' thing about that gen was that nothing translated from lead platform to another particularly well and there's examples to/from all 3. Devs only seemed to make comparable ports by the end of era. All 3 consoles had great looking exclusives, and they'd all run like shit on the other machines unless the effects and maps were reworked.

Don't even get me started on Sonic multiplats from that generation, Heroes being the worst offender.

>>531005507
Please get started.

>>531005594
Not even the PC version is safe from its own, odd quirks.

Wow you really went off.

>the xbox version has sections where the fps drops lower than 60 unlike the gamecube
I wonder what the gamecube was doing that the xbox couldn't.

always play the windows pc version, with mods, that's all

>>531004932
And then you have stuff like NFSMW or True Crime on GC. Xbox was the only console that you could 100% say was the most powerful.

>>531007732
Except the PC version patched the best exploit in the whole game.
