>I wonder if anyone's made a hack of the original SMB2 that doesn't require you to beat the game several 8 times to unlock the extra worlds.
Yep, there's an MMC5 conversion that works perfectly on accurate emulators and comes with all the stars on the title screen. I've compiled it myself for convenience.

Can't completely satisfy your needs on the sound front, but someone made a graphics hack that changes all the sprites to be more faithful to their NES counterparts.

>No Switch 2 emulator
Nintendo fucking won

Still too early, the OG Switch didn't have a semi-functional emu until 1 year after its launch.

Any good sites with a good tear down of the system specs of the Switch 2?
No youtube shit

I can't get controls to work in VR Golf 97 for Beetle Saturn.

>>532428367
Check your C button binding, that's what selects menu items and swings for me. Make sure you don't have any unorthodox controllers like the 3D controller selected.

>>532432790
I'm only using the default settings. Are you telling me Retroarch fucked up?

>>532434671
Perhaps, it's on the right bumper for me. Its defaults may not like your gamepad. Can't say, but as soon as you have C set, you should be set.

I can't really defend RA beyond the obvious benefits. I've just gotten so used to it. I could probably teach a college course in Danology.

So this is why this general can't stay afloat.

>>532465762
That's every /v/-based board these days, even /vr/.

>>532465872
/vr/ isn't full of neo-horsefucker threads.

>>532465872
Also, this general regularly gets 750+ posts per thread, so I wouldn't say "can't stay afloat" is an accurate statement to make. Niche in comparison to the rest of this board? Sure, that seems likely.

>>532465991
I guess that's one thing to be thankful for. I've always felt that /emugen/ in particular had some /vr/-leanings. (Even if /emugen/ is somehow also a thing on there.)

Yeah, I'm not sure what to say to that anon outside of getting a new GPU, because I haven't heard of people still using non-DX12 hardware.

Anybody had experiences with winlator?
how is it?

>>532473862
I'm wondering the same thing, since I'm primarily a desktop user who's mainly familiar with Winblows/Loonix. Seems like the kind of thing that could only run decently on Snapdragon devices.

>>532473960
Perhaps I could try running Winlator via Waydroid via SteamOS? Nah...

Ymir has nightly now which is good. I can get stuck into testing. Anyone remember that episode of Ultraman where it was just garbled static for 30 minutes?

>>532473862
Oh god we've gone months without that Greek faggot let's not try to summon him with that.

>>532468446
How about actually usable >=400mhz Pentium II, 86box? Enough with the Switch-fork tier UX gussying. Hire some tranny; anything.

>>532483908
>my autism made it to the wiki
weird feeling

I should probably make an account and put in how I did Win9x in FM Towns some time. That was a bitch and there's no tutorial anywhere else. Even that tranny-banging scaly Cathode Ray Dude doesn't go into it on his site.

and fyi, the MouseWare driver is superior to PS2rate via 86box/PCem because at least in my experience, 1/3 times PS2rate will initialize on startup and make the mouse move erratically until a reboot. It also doesn't require anything to be scheduled at startup.

RPCS3: Hello @everyone, I made another video that explains exactly how some recent optimizations work at a technical level. This video covers some optimizations made in February and March of this year by Me and some other developers:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HWOmEjlpMs

Is it actually safe to system transfer from a hacked switch? Thinking about dumping all my emu saves onto my chipped Lite, moving them over to the real nand and then hitting it if so.

>>532499571
The tranny-devved PCem is only like 20% faster than 86Box, which, while significant, is still too slow for usable Pentium II emulation for most people, and part of that speed boost is just due to the fact that it's less accurate, in some cases deliberately for the purposes of greater speed.
That said, I wonder if they can't just take Xemu's CPU emulation code or something. That emulates a 733 MHz PIII, and that doesn't run too bad, does it?

>>532519671
One way or another, whoever they need to get, I'm tired of how slow it is. It's still a great program and the UX changes are welcome and meaningful, but still. Yeah I have no idea how Xemu is as fast as it is, as I don't think the Celeron or P3 or whatever in it is instruction-compromised or anything. It's the most stock thing about the console.

>>532519671
>they can't just take Xemu's CPU emulation code
https://www.qemu.org/

It's so stock I believe you can drop one of those 1.5ghz Tualatin chips in the Xbox board.

It's funny, I've used QEMU for PowerPC Apple emulation (ISHYGDDT, it sucks) but never for PC emulation. Partially because it's such an unwieldy motherfucker and there are other, presumably better emulators. On a reasonably modern PC, say, a Zen 2 or better, what guest can you hope to get from it CPU/GPU wise? Anyone mess with it much?

>>532520406
According to the 86Box guys, QEMU only emulates a generic x86 CPU, not specific Intel or AMD chips or whatever, so I'm guessing that's not useful for what 86Box tries to do. If this is what Xemu's code is based on, then I guess that's a no-go.

>>532521616
It looks that there are 2 x86 systems
pc-i440fx-9.2 Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996)
pc-q35-9.2 Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009)

First one could be fine, except vga:
https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/system/i386/pc.html

>>532523389
I admit I'm not the most educated on this, but reading the documentation, it seems like QEMU is mostly virtualizing rather than outright emulating at a low level. That definitely would not suit 86Box's model, if so.

>>532468446
Still no proper built in VM manager?

>>532527461
That is the built-in VM. Seems like you have to activate it through the command line for now, though, or by passing the necessary arguments in a shortcut.

>>532420213 (OP)
It's /emugen/ - Emulation General
You are just making it harder to look in the archives.

>>532524903
Yeah, forget about the low-level approach for anything near Windows XP-level hardware (SSE2/3/4 CPU, DirectX 8.1/9.0C GPU).

>>532506492
Oh wow, now you can run games that can't boot/have graphical issues faster.
Let me guess, resonance still barely works, mgs takes years to start and disgaea games updates still break the game?

Why couldn't there be a save point in the classroom in FES fuuuuuuck

>>532535131
Indeed. The best we can maybe hope for is for the dynarec to reach PCem levels of speed, and nice as that would be, it's still not going to be enough for Pentium III, let alone 2000's era hardware. Virtualization and compatibility layers focused on support for that era of games is pretty much the path forward.

>>532538632
Are there even any games where the engine causes issues that modern compatibility layers can't fix?
Seems to be more that the cutscenes side of things causes issues and it would certainly be easier to make a comapt layer then trying to emulate older hardware.

I wonder if MaisterTech would help with low level x86. He'd probably never do it and there doesn't seem to be any other emudevs on his level with GPU compute.

>>532539062
The problem isn't the workaround to play or run the software during that era. The problem is we're still dependent on either obsolete, abandoned Type-2 hypervisor software (if you ignore QEMU-KVM GPU Passthrough or ESXi solutions) or WoW64, and I really don't trust its closed-source nature of that (and Microsoft). I think we need a custom QEMU + virtual GPU adapter all-in-one solution with a simple interface/GUI. Wrappers and perhaps these projects could help idk;

Nope, It let's me play if I use the Microsoft basic render driver but It dosen't accept my driver (NVIDIA Geforce 210)

>>532554780
>Geforce 210
Yeah, that explains EVERYTHING. A GTX 750 at the very earliest should support everything DX11 has to offer, that Geforce 210 is woefully ancient.

>>532554780
My god, I had an entry budget 2011 laptop that had at least a GT520m, how old is your shit?

>>532554780
Find a second hand Dell, HP, or Lenovo business desktop and throw an SSD (if it doesn't already have one) and 1060 into it, thirdiefren. You'd be surprised how far $100-150 can go. Maybe you're just testing whatever you found at your grandma's house or on the curb, though. You're probably just gonna have to use an older version of PCSX2 and keep your expectations low.

My brother, what is with the way it's prescaled before the shader is applied?

Every pixel should be even. Look at the text in particular. What was your method of shading it? Within the emulator/Retroarch or an external process like ReShade or ShaderGlass? I could help, maybe.

>>532586021
Duckstation.

Not surprised. Isn't he known for kinda hating or half-assing shaders?

>>532588787
Isn't he known for half assing everything?

Didn't fuck up the scaling when I simply applied the Hylian post-process.

Hmm, no. It sucks. When I use a sharp pass first it clearly misaligns the scanlines. So yeah, fuck Matt.

It does in the normal bilinear pass too, it's just less obvious.

I wonder why he doesn't just merge in LibraShaders like Ares. This is a solved problem.
