It's crazy how close to 360 some OG games can look with more resulation.

Of course it's mostly the Jap games I refer to. Western 6th gen modelers were out to lunch if it wasn't a car.

>have an old SNES bluetooth controller from 8bitdo
>haven't used it in a while, surely modern plastics so "that" won't happen right?
>sure enough has turned piss yellow

Sigh. Well at least it's authentic. It hasn't been in the sunlight btw, just buried on a shelf in my room with other controllers. Guess the air exposure is enough to do it.

The only thing from them I appreciate is their wireless joystick; I have no idea why they are the only game in town for that. Even that has parts you probably wanna replace and the bluetooth mode on mine is shot. Not that you'd want to use it instead of 2.4ghz. All their gamepads have been trash in my experience. Get a DS5 + DS4Win and replace the battery in it.

>cigs totally isn't just turning emugen in to a KF thread I swear
I don't mind it, honestly, it's fun, but I laugh at the dude who said that.

What's the significance of this guy? Is he just some emu fanboy? Like what does he *do*? What are his projects/contributions?

>>532763019
I have the snes one I mentioned because I wanted an exact replica to play snes games rather than a substitute and didn't want some terribly cheap one, it was pretty good, a pro+ I think one which is basically a snes controller with handles, analog sticks and horrible fucking triggers and a pro 2 which is basically the same as that but with bonus back buttons. The analog stick rubbers on that wore out in a few weeks and I had to get some thumbgrips that fitted them, piss poor. Overall I have mixed feelings. I won't be buying any again I think.

>>532763859
He is a guy and ciggy likes guys.

>>532764194
He's a real humanist.

seeing this OP has given me a glimmer of motivation
should i just emulate an xbox or use my old one and finally crack that fucker open to play pirated games, i've been wanting to play doax again for years now
and i'd kill a man to find the old nude mods for it

>>532767851
Both, if you can. Then you can become one of the local freaks comparing emus to hardware, especially on shovelware. Xemu's at the point where anything I just download at a whim is at least playable now. Not perfect, though. Wreckless has some minor LOD issues, Unreal Championship 2 has some shadow problems in 3rd person depending on the lighting/map. Still, you could finish these games and get a mostly authentic experience. Those could be fixed now too, as this emu is actually improving.

Pre-formatted games that Xemu will boot.
Just enable auto-update for newer versions, or go to
https://github.com/xemu-project/xemu/actions/workflows/build.yml for the bleeding edge.

If you can only find original ISOs that aren't ready to be loaded into Xemu, you can use https://xiso.antangelo.com/ (Chromium-based only, even agent-spoofing doesn't trick it in Firefox-based) or offline with this GUI driven app

>>532768465
>an xbox
Absolutely, Xemu has caught up to PCSX2 in terms of compatibility. PCSX2 is still better for enhancements and broader hardware feature support though.

https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/PlayStation_2_emulators#Emulators
https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Xbox_emulators#Emulators

Can't really compare but some of those sound EQ/playback seems a little funky in some games. Just a forewarning, like all the samples are there but the bitrate/volume can be a little sus in some games.

>>532771191
Indeed. It's a key point which already mentioned in the wiki: the 'playable' status for Xemu and PCSX2 games doesn't include minor performance issues, graphical bugs (e.g., software renderer required PCSX2 titles), or sound problems.

thanks anon, now i just need to spend three weeks begging other anons to spoonfeed me the nude mods, have a mental breakdown and spend eight years on internet archive trying to find it
>>532768465
you wish bitch
although personally I'll still tell people that the moment xbox 360 emulation picks up they need to play the actual best version of halo 3

>bloom scaling needs to be fixed at a per-game basis
Fucking hell this is up there with interlacing on the list of destructive technologies

I'd say all the 6th gen emulators work about as well as each other, which is to say it'll get you through and you can raise the resolution most of the time, but it'll have some flaws that can usually be ignored. I don't think ciggyposting works for them because it's just patently obvious that none of them are 1:1 with hardware because of what they do to get their results. PS1 emulation is far lower level and invites more comparison.

PGS LLE is very interesting though, but it has an absentee father.

It saddens me that Refraction and his discord kittens haven't added PGS in, and no, he hasn't retired.

>>532772729
90% fixed in PGS. There are games that resist it, though, like that Simple 1000 game a few threads ago.

>>532773659
His father actually work at putting DX12 on top of Vulcan for Proton/Valve. So, I think if he goes back to PGS, it while be on his free time, someday.

>>532774657
I'll be a happy skelly when he does it, anyway.

>nearest-neighbor texture filtering looks like shit at higher resolutions (pic related, it has SSAA tho)
>every other texture filtering option on duckstation somehow looks worse (and textures don't align properly with them)
Damn i hate AI buzzwords but i feel like in the future ML assisted techniques will be the only option for people who don't want to use CRT shaders

>>532778572
Yeah, texture seams have long been a problem with PS1 texture filtering. I'm sure there's some algo to help but I'll be damned if I know.

>>532773491
Maybe in 50 years we can say for the same for 7th gen.

That doesn't look too bad, though. I'll take the chunky pixels over LOOKIN GOOD textures and seams

>>532778572
For me, I just can't get into graphical enhancements for anything pre-seventh gen. It breaks the immersion when it's not on a CRT (or something like 'HSM's Mega Bezel' preset). It just doesn't look or feel right, no matter what enhancement you try. Whether it's texture packs, frame generation and internal framerate hacks, increased internal resolution, pp injection, or even overclocking the emulated system, none of them truly mask the fundamental limitations of the original graphics.

>>532778572
Isn't downsampling good enough?

>>532780009
I might be the only one that likes how the "limited" graphics look. They are unique.

>>532780068
I use it often, but never by itself. Without scanlines and other CRTisms it just look weird and blurry. It's convincingly better looking with a decent CRT shader, though.

GIFski is an insanely efficient encoder.

>>532782324
"freedom", "within limits"

It's EMULATION TIME!

I'm samefagging myself here, but it's amazing how much more detail can be represented through colors (and subpixel data) in the same pixel grid.

>>532806379
mocap, or no cap..?

Since Eden is based off Yuzu, the shader caches in the emulation wiki are compatible with it, right?
Also, looks like Eden's test version of 0.0.3 is up now.

>>532812747
Try them and find out. Also, Yuzu/Eden has decent async shader comp. You barely even need them. Ryujinx on the other hand...

They did compress the shit out of the audio, but it's modded and werx in Xemu.

>>532813031
>Try them and find out.
Just did and it looks like they work. At least Eden loaded them up at the start.
>Also, Yuzu/Eden has decent async shader comp. You barely even need them.
I know, but I was still getting some stutters so I want to see if it's because of the shaders.

>this fucking corny-ass early 2000s pop soundtrack
lmao

>>532814623
Thanks for finding out, I didn't feel confident saying so, as Eden may have been mutated enough for them not to work.

>>532814294
I can't wait til mods like this are made illegal by heckin based politicians who have our best interests at heart. That'll make houses affordable and remove swarthy undesirables.

is ninja gaiden black emulated on the steam deck still shit?

>>532815775
You tell me, friendo, you have the Deck and I've posted the links to everything.

>>532814918
Well, kinda. They worked on Smash, but don't seem to be loading up on TotK. I think it might be because the download on the Emu wiki has the vulkan.bin file for TotK, but doesn't include the vulkan_pipelines.bin file as well (Smash's download has both files).
When I put the downloaded vulkan.bin (500 something MB) in the folder then boot up the game, the file gets "reset" into a file with only some kB, so I assume it needs the matching pipelines file.

Kaizo? Outside of that one bitchy part I posted it was very manageable by a relatively casual player like me.

Umm #Collectiveshout you missed one

>>532814294
Thanks.

God I wish I were /ss/'d.

>>532756931 (OP)
Is there any way to stop Shadow Hearts:From the New World black screening during attacks in combat? Or at the very least can I not hotkey software mode to a binding?

>>532821864
I knew this game was based but zamn

>>532824040
during judgment ring? that was fixed years ago.
show picture

>>532824869
Oh sorry I meant on Aether which I asssume is not 1:1 with PCSX2, I'm playing this on an android based handheld but if it isn't a black screen with just the ring then it plays the wrong still image of a different party member that isn't attacking, when the attack actually plays out it's fine again.

>>532825863
Aether is outdated shit + an Android port of dubious origin so, yeah.

>>532826086
Is Nether really that much better? I want to try it but I have to uproot Aether for some reason because they cant exist simultaneously on a platform

>>532826313
No idea.
