You wouldn't emulate a house.

BREAKING: Emulation on the rise as crime wave sweeps America!
"Make no mistake, emulation is theft. Emulate and you will be prosecuted." stated Mr. Shekelberg, a lawyer representing the Anti-Emulation League.

As far as emulation quality, goes, yeah. There's no way it goes further than what you get on PC and in many ways it's not as accurate because the DE10's too potatoey.
As far as lag and 15khz TV functionality goes, it is the real deal. It matches my OLED+VRR+1frame ahead setup without the asterisks of run-ahead on my CRT and it handles mode switches better than emudrivers to a TV. If you're not using a CRT-TV, there's basically no point, though. You can also pair it with a PC and use it as a LAN video card to your TV. This gets you super-low latency with all the accuracy/CPU power benefits of PC emulation.

Numbers like that don't mean a whole hell of a lot when arches differ so much, as they did in that era. They're so differently abled with strengths/features missing entirely from one to the other it's nuts. GC is more powerful on the whole but PS2 can still draw alpha and polygons like a mofo.

>>538398396
I was gonna drop some dumbass line like "slops2 cope" as I do with zoomies shitposting on >>>/vr/, but I clocked those /vr/ morons whining, and the retards already know about /emugen/.
It’s over, emu bros. The zoomer horde’s invading, boomers on suicide watch.

>>538399054
What in the hell are you talking about? Go back. I don't care about any of that and post nearly exclusively here. 6th gen consoles were all basically lightyears from each other in hardware differences. There was a general sliding scale of power from PS2, GC, to Xbox, sure, but GPU features varied yugely and they all sucked at doing one or two things the other could do.

(cont.) because they were so different, and because devs were under crunch to warp the same game to fit on each -- and were dealing with early 2000s workstations and tools -- the end products were bad ports that didn't paint the whole picture on console capabilities as well. They did get better toward the end of the generation, though.

PS2 does have some raunchy image quality and used every dirty CRT-TV trick in the book, though.

As much as I love this game, damn do I wish these shmup segments were a LOT shorter.

Fully charged hack is the only way I'll entertain this game. No, I don't care if I really played it or not.
>implying it matters when it's western rentalcore

>>538403260
I've beaten it before already, and it's close to being European with all its flashy effects. Even if it's a boring stage, there's at least something interesting going on.

>>538403487
Oh yeah it's a fantastic looking game and has some decent fundamentals. Everything's just too damn spongy for my liking though.

I played it on Windows Phone but couldn’t beat it. I coped hard with "uh touchscreen buttons bad", yet I couldn’t manage to beat it even back in the Genesis days. I think I just should kill myself.

I bet you're brown and she thinks of you as a pet she can fix. She know about your side piece yet?

Day 2 in my emulation journey! May it be fruitful. I've wanted to emulate for the longest time and just never bothered to, and eventually just realized I have no excuse not to just dive in. I had an interest, so I persued it. Hopefully I can learn more about computers doing this because I've been inept for the longest time. I have learned a couple of things, but when I learn about things it's a repeating cycle of "I'm figuring things out" and "I know absolutely nothing". I think I have a low IQ.

Yes, except the latest Windows build is from 80 days ago (v0.0.37-18022)

>>538433574
... Well... Why not, why not also screwing that too... I mean, it's reallyyyy began to show that all the devs are only on loonix, they don't even bother with a windows build.

What is the cheapest emulation device I can connect to my TV? Raspberry Pi has gotten oddly expensive. Is the Pi Zero good enough for PS1 and PS2?

Congrats anon. Keep up the momentum. What are you having trouble understanding so far?

>>538442950
Only a couple of indirectly related things so far, but as for what I don't know in general, well, I kind of lose sight of what I do know and then feel a bit lost again. It could be a mindset thing. There's only 1 roadblock I've arrived at so far, which I spoke of in the last thread, and that was turning an ISO into an XISO for XEMU. Anon's told me of an online xiso maker thing, and I got an XISO file from it (or at least a file with that extension), but it refused to run, so I don't know what's up with that. I won't ask further questions about it though. I'm making a commitment to (or trying at least) to learn as much as I can myself until I run into a wall.

>>538445734
Oh.... wtf, just ran the same file with the extension .xiso as an experiment and IT WERKED. LOL, how gay am I.

Odd how China has completely skipped over the mini HTPC trend. They make everything cheap except that. They even make handhelds that can play PS1 and PS2, but they can’t take the board out or add HDMI support? This is, no kidding, the ONE thing I’ve seen China drop the ball with in regard to cheap electronics.

SP must pay for his crimes.

>>538443415
FLEENSTONES?

>>538446156
Thanks. I'm a bit of an idiot for not checking there, but I'm guessing that the file I had titled ISO was actually already in the state it needed to be to run, it just wasn't titled with the extension .xiso so it didn't know how to read it, and perhaps this is why the converter/extractor (I don't realy know what it was to be honest) wasn't giving me a usable .xiso. The emulator told me a couple of different things depending which version I put in, one of which was the emulator mistaking it for a DVD. Anyways I fired up Ninja Gaiden and, save a few stutters it ran pretty great, more or less like I've experienced it on an actual console.

>>538448649
My xisos with an iso extension work fine.

>>538449907
My file had no extension at all. That's just how it came. It was identified as a disc image file but that's it. I don't know how it works, but I just know, it did work.

reminder that you nes emulator most likely suck

Been using some variant of Nestopia or Mesen for ages. Speak for yourself.

>>538450683
>his whole autistic video doesn't go into mapper compatibility and how much they matter

>mini is better than nestopia
Okay let's hear its sound chip emulation, see that mapper chart, try some FDS and games on it -- oh. Turns out your gay edge case NROM test doesn't matter that much.

>>538451860
Speaking of mapper compatibility, NintendulatorNRS supports nearly all of them. If you go to PPU > Emulate All PPU Quirks, it will score a point higher than Mesen. Once enabled, it will pass the "PPU RESET FLAG" test, but this is disabled by default because some pirate multicart menus don't play nicely with that function.

>>538452168
Nah gonna use Mesen like a human, thanks.

>>538452473
No problem, nothing wrong with having options. NNRS serves a niche use anyway and is best used with bootlegs.

Are you, in fact, NewRisingSun? Okay, how do I get this to boot. I downloaded them ROM from here:
http://bootleg.games/BGC_Forum/index.php?topic=2412.0
but I don't see any attached version of the emulator that'll work with it, and no version of NRS I download boots it. Is there a setting?

>>538450151
You're on windows ? Then on file explorer select View > Show > File name extensions. I think it could help a lot.

>>538454942
>Are you, in fact, NewRisingSun?
Unfortunately not, I just got the info from him. This is also a simple fix, just change the submapper from 1 to 15 and you should be good to go. The menu is accessed by pressing F10.

>>538455232
Huh...

>>538452921

>>538455603
That the proper thing according to the Xemu wiki.

>>538458785
I know, like I said I got it working
>>538446049
That's what I used.
I do have a question out of curiousity. Is it typical for people to title their files with a ".xiso" included to get the iso to work? I didn't realize there was a show extension thing, it should have been obvious, I just never thought about it because I always thought it just showed you those extensions for some reason, which kinda doesn't make sense because I look at the files, but I don't know. They work as isos but not without the .xiso in the filename section.

>>538458396
because it's awful and you can't stop using it
Neat how that video didn't show any socioeconomic factor victims. Ah, the 90s.

>>538460473
It's typical if you use Xemu. He want a specific format because of how Xbox disc are partitioned.

To keep with the theme of bootleg games, I managed to find a dump of an ultra specific variant of Sonic Jam 6 that was only ever seen on a single video.

Yes, I'm also using this as an excuse to shill Phelous' content. He's cool in an autistic way.

>>538461012
Well I'm realizing now maybe the file I used that worked was from the online .xiso thing, and maybe there was a confusion becasue I had multiple files for it. I ran the the Black version of Ninja Gaiden, and that one didn't work simply from a retitiling, instead I got the same problems as I did before with the 04 version of Ninja Gaiden, but when I put it through the online .xiso thing it gave me a file that worked. I might be confusing things.

just downloaded mesen appimage to play some nes games and man that thing slows down to a crawl in tmnt when theres many enemies on screen.

>>538463359
TMNT wasn't too optimal on hardware. Note the 30hz cap. Overclock the virtual machine.

>>538463359

It's like that on real hardware too, TMNT is kinda jank. I believe another anon mentioned that Getsufuma Den was better. >>530606648

Jdownloader2, for all its bloated Java shittiness, is still the best one. Works with all the file locker sites with little fuss, and can even rip videos on a few. Change my mind.

>>538527529
>>538527836
I stick to portable software on my computers, with the one exception being virtualization software (virtualbox and vmware). For Java, I've got my own custom scripts that use JPortable. You won't find JDownloader2 on my machine, though; I've been using HTTP Downloader for over four years, and it's always worked great for me.

>>538525198
Not the first time their builds break and since they're all on loonix, yeah, that will take some times.

>>538532672

>>538535036
Okay, did a little of my own research here. MiPony is *almost* as good as Jdownloader. Doesn't work with log-in requiring Internet Archive links, though.

Well, I've got some learning to do, but I downloaded Jdownloader and it's MUCH faster. http downloader seemed even slower than the browser download, so I don't know what's up with that. Thank you for the suggestions.

>>538540213
Consider MiPony too. It's at least not as much of a fuckhuge memory/CPU hog. Not quite as fully featured, but it's close anyway. Its archive.org support isn't as great, for instance.

>>538535964
>>538531453
The competition on mobile is not exactly any better.

So, in conclusion, Jdownloader is the Retroarch of download management. It fucking sucks, and is a boat of a program, but you still need it.

FUCK EARTHION

I don't know, emulation feels overwhelming for me, and I think it might be better to get a Switch 2 and pay for NSO to access GameCube games instead of using an illegal pirated copy on Dolphin Emulator.

We should support publishers and developers, as without them, we wouldn't have games in the first place. It's important to follow and uphold U.S. laws on this matter, regardless of whether we are American citizens or not. Our poor practices harm the U.S., especially since many publishers and developers are based there.

At the end of the day, you can make your own choices, but when facing justice, remember that you were warned. I genuinely want the best for each and every one of you.

May God be with you.

>>538609491
I always wonder why people even believe this mentality. Most people from the 6th generation and before don't even work in the gaming industry anymore besides a few "auteurs". And one or two people don't carry the quality of a whole game from a AAA company. They're all mostly shells of their former selves, so the money isn't going to anybody you would want to support if they made something 20 years ago. Is it just some easy moralistic shit to convince yourself without thinking about it? Why are people like this?

>>538612850
>people
It is an AI post.

>>538599086
Any reason to disparage someone's 98% compatible work, sicky. Oh no, the demo disc while the actual commercial game works. Oh no, a single version of the game has a problem.

I'd give a week's wages to see a day in the life, you piece of shit.

That's my problem with you. It's not about finding flaws and making something better, you just want reasons to call an entire work shit (and the author shit) for its flaws. You're a terrible fucking person.

and I can't wait for your falling out with StrikerX3 too. What will be the wontfix that puts you on DEFCON 1 and turns emugen into your personal kiwifarms for him?

My Steam Controller's sixaxis is broken :/ I just got a DualShock 4 V2. I feel so awful, man. At least I can still play GameCube with it, but damn, it feels as bad as when my cat passed away. God damn.
It was my daily driver, who knows how long the triggers are going to keep working.

Also, while I'm sure the demo is supposed to be playable. Seems silly that it would softlock you into an attract mode, I wish I could see evidence of it being played on hardware. Maybe it was a bad batch. I doubt this disc had the QA of a typical release. Sadly I don't have a Saturn and likely no one will be willing to try it. Something that happens on all emus does put it into question, though. The Mister Saturn core is at least as hacky as any PC emulator, if not more.

Not nearly enough resolution to pull this off or you scaled it after the fact, making it look fucked up for us. Even zoomed in. Provide original resolution shots and you probably need to be on 4K, conservatively 1440p, for a shader like this.

Uneven scanlines so bad. Stop.

>>538631037
How come your shots are much lower res than that? Not that 1080p will be great, but still, not helping the end result.

>>538631037
I like this one called ossc, but it's a bit uneven as well.

>>538631504
That one's at least posted at your native res and has evenly spaced scanlines. Granted, 'smarter' CRT shaders will have some variance due to halation/bleed on brighter scanlines.

>>538631616
cont.
Which is why you need as much res as possible to have the grille and scanline variance not look as weird/aliased.

Someone shared this shader in the previous thread:

>>538525212
Better than the old bit, which is namefagging & talking about parents not buying them HRT

>>538638882
fuck that is my nigga??

>>538642308
It's "DIY" HRT. (Also known as rat poison.)

Man, I like CRT-Royale but it's such a bitch to properly setup and there's basically no in-depth videos on it. Can never truly get a grasp of what scanline sizes and mask triad widths are correct.

>>538642709
Depends on your resolution, but I typically don't fuck with the triads. Sigma/scanline strength, however, is worth fooling with. Generally, you want white/bright colored scanlines to glow into the next a bit more than darker ones. Notice in >>538632521
I have mine set up like that. Where the lines are more pronounced in darker colors. That's how it looks on my CRT TV.

I appreciate that Anon and his shader are catering to those sticking with 1080p displays.

The nostalgia hit me like a truck.

Not him, but some 3DS, WiiU, and Switch games have native support for gyro aiming. I've also bound the right stick to gyro via DS4Windows to get some more precise aiming in PC 3rd person shooters.

>>538646269
>in my area
your area being what, the antarctic?

If you're still on 1080p, you ought to take the integer scale overscale pill. It helps out with CRT shaders.

How do I please my Midna as much as a CRT does...

>>538646297
Thank you, Anon. Keep rocking.

>>538646246
Sixaxis or Gyro works well for Wii emulation. I used to emulate the Wii Motion Plus using the Steam Controller's Sixaxis and its right trackpad as the WiiMote's pointer. Using gyro as a mouse for lightgun games, I managed to beat Snatcher by utilizing the Sixaxis as the MD Justifier... Gyro as Joystick to emulate Namco's NeGcon...

The Steam Controller is amazing and incredibly versatile, but its steep learning curve is likely the main reason it failed. It seems to cater to enthusiasts while being too challenging for casual users. It's surprising that there are no videos on YouTube truly showcasing its full potential.

To be fair, the DualShock 4 V2 is pretty solid, but the trackpad isn’t great, and it’s missing dual-stage triggers. Still, it’s not too far behind if you’re willing to experiment with unconventional setups that might suit your style.

My SC isn’t "dead," but the gyro drift is too noticeable, and I have to recalibrate it every 3 to 5 minutes... It’s not worth it, but as a "conventional" gamepad (like an Xbox or GameCube controller), it’s still usable.

I hope I’m not coming across as overbearing or overly enthusiastic; I just really enjoy sharing and discussing things I’m passionate about.

>>538652148
I imagine you've already downloaded DS4Windows, you'll unlock a lot of functionality with it. Especially Schmaldeo's fork

>>538652381
Yes, I did. DS4Windows to monitor its battery life and overclock it (1000Hz polling rate is insane), while relying on Steam Input API for everything else.

>>538652670
Yes, that would be terrible, wouldn't it?

Is the shadow mask even a real CRT filter? It's basically just a color swap.

>>538652148
Nah that's cool, good explanation. Out of all those uses you suggested, emulating a NeGcon is what has sparked my interest. Also, Wii emulation, but not too much. Is any game good to go with motion control? I ask since the Wiimote's got a very particular shape and is to be handled with one hand (or two) independently. I've never played a Wii game before.
I'm doing a lot of ps2 and under emulation and had to skip motion controller-dependent games for that reason, other than the fact I don't own a motion-sensitive controller, lol.
>>538647047
Hm interesting use of motion control. I'm an Oldfag, so all of this is new to me.
Is a DS4 or PS5 control better for this?

It's SO fucking over

>>538657801
That site was from the mid-late 90s, it was gonna die sooner or later.

>>538657617
I like the DS5 more because of that mic button at the bottom it has that can be used for an extra function key. Just feels like a higher quality controller for me. I've found that both DS4 and 5 need a 3rd party battery for decent life.

Also I'm pretty sure 1000hz drains battery faster, and has diminishing returns over say, 250. You do you, though.

is Citron fine now or is Eden the not schizo fork that should be used?

>>538612850
And let's not forget, AI trolling aside, that a not so small number of these old games are not even buyable outside of the retro-aftermarket, and the companies that made them may not even exist anymore.

>>538657801
RIP
It was too slow and shit compared to the better options we have these days but it will be remembered

>>538661789
That's the opposite. Eden is the fork where all devs go, Citron is a shell run by one shady fuck.

Why is the screen tearing itself to pieces in Wild Arms 3? The dash mostly causes it but walking past things like stairs also sets it off.

I know you can't use Redump ISOs with RPCS3, but can you use No-Intro PKG/RAP dumps directly?
For example can I download the No-Intro PSN dump of Demon's Souls and use it in RPCS3 directly?

>>538671927
Yes and no. Yes in a sense that you don't need to do the whole virtual drive, extraction and decrypt, no because you had to install them via the inbuild pkg installer from RPCS3 which will decrypt and put the files in the right HDD folder.

>>538672790

emu

I think I flew too close to the sun. So I'm pretty new to emulation in general but I'm trying to learn as much as I can. I had a spare Raspberry Pi 3B+ laying around, so I turned it into an emulation machine for my nephew as a gift. I put Batocera on it and loaded it with a ton of roms. But I recently fucked it up when I tried to overclock it a bit in preparation for some Playstation games. Now it freezes a few seconds after booting up, every time. I don't have a linux machine I can pop its memory card into to change the overclock settings back to normal. How the hell do I set it back to normal without losing all my nephew's save data?

FUCK EVERY LEVEL IN WORLD D
>>538698434

What are some good looking 3D PS2/Wii era games.
I'm always amazed how good Haunting Grounds and SOTC look even today... Still find that era very inspiring.

>>538712345
Here's another example I tried out (not my webm though)
Games real pretty, style reminds me of Xenogears. These sorts of games really shine with emulation.

>>538712792
Isn't that the Monster Hunter copycat on Wii? Is it good? At least it looks like.

>>538713284
Issalright
It feels very experimental- not very polished but has a lot of neat ideas.

Attacking all comes from a ATB-like system. You build charges over time and spend on skills (or spells).
You can equip weapons but they're all of the same type, but you can swap characters who have different weapons types and abilities. I just unlocked the Chef girl who can cook.
You get a bunch of Pikmin-like creatures that can cast elemental magic (like at the start of this vid) to train and level up and swap. They also carry quest items like Pikmin.
Missions tend to be varied. Some require some puzzle solving to access an area, or to make a path to carry the quest item. Some are just plain hunts.

The game isn't refined crack cocaine like Monster Hunter is but it's a neat game if you have the time and patience for something that feels strange and unexplored.

Takes a few minutes to create a suiting controller profile but I think i made a pretty good one for my Xbox pad. Also found you can auto hide the cursor after some sec which is good

speaking of dolphin and controls, why do you have to be a coder to do something as simple as have a game automatically start with a specific profile? why can't dolphin devs figure this shit out? you can start games with their own graphics settings but for some reason not controller settings without reading through all this

https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=GameINI_(Controller_Settings)

>>538724121
>Change Name of Profile to the name of an existing control profile. It requires that you have created and saved a new control profile beforehand in the controller configuration window for the emulated GameCube Controller.

It's just here. All you have to do is create your profile and then copy/paste the name in the proper line in the INI. One minute max to do that.

>In 5.0-8443 and later, you can add a secondary or more profiles, and switch between via hotkey (to be configured under Options > Hotkey Settings > Controller Profile). The first profile will be loaded first upon game launch. The profiles are separated by commas (,) like so: WiimoteProfile1 = Name of Profile, Name of Profile Another, Name of Profile Other.

Even better, you can swamp multiples profile for the Wii. You do not need coding skill for that, just basic reading skill and knowing were your CTRL, C and V keys are on your keyboard.

Why do screenshots via built in screenshot functions always look worse than what you're actually seeing on screen? Less depth, less contrast, blurrier.

This is a snap via emulator screenshot function.

>>538730632

>>538730751

I'm thinking of starting an excel spreadsheet to track the stuff that I play, but I'm unsure about how to design my template. I just created a spreadsheet with:

>Publisher
>Status (Started/Finished)
>Time (HRS)

>>538765963
Yes, and they're correct. The difference is that most UE games will run as fast as the game's cap and host machine allows. No one's gonna emulate these machines to the cycle or bother with timing. It's also not as important on these machines.

i know, i have a bunch of profiles that i can manually switch to in the settings. my question is how to make a game start with the right one automatically

it should be a very simple line you put in one of the two ini fields but the dolphin site and no one here can tell me what it is and if dolphin deserved half its praise it would just let you do it like in retroarch

Someone who understands SDL better than I do:
Is it possible to get gyro working on 3rd party controllers? For example the 8bitdo Ultimate 2 has an SDL config in the gamecontrollerdb, but in dinput mode emulators like RPCS3 and Dolphin can't use it's gyroscope even though Steam can.
Is that just something that hasn't been mapped by the community or is it some kind of limitation of SDL?

Why don't zoomers actually care about retro games? Everyone here is someone who played them as kids

>>538783598
>Why don't zoomers actually care about retro games?
I happen to be an exception to that rule, mainly because they're actually fun games.

>>538783598
tiktok, weed

>>538750072
Depends on the media
For CD games with raw audio you can save an absolute shitload of space
For other stuff not so much compression gains to be had but ultimately still worth it.

>>538777571
since 2.0.14 SDL supports gyro/accel sensors. if you use dinput and connect via bluetooth then gyro should work, as long as SDL recognizes the pad as a model that actually supports gyro (like DS4)

>>538783598
zoomers were bred to be consoomer golem. It's not their fault.

>>538787490
Yeah but neither Dolphin or RPCS3 recognizes the gyroscope over bluetooth or the dongle.
I guess it must not be mapped in the database.

>>538777571
Why did you use the dinput mode instead of the other modes ?

>>538791860
The other modes are Xinput, which has no gyro, and Switch input.
I know I can just use Switch mode to get the gyro working, but that locks the triggers to a digital input. Ideally I'd like it to work with both gyro and analog triggers, so I'm trying to figure out if there's a way I can get the gyroscope working through SDL under Dinput, which is what Steam uses for it's Steam Input compatibility for the controller, but I don't know enough about SDL to know if that's even possible to do.

Did you? Crazier things have happened but I don't think a little disc corruption would result in the controller being ignored or the game's code for it being broken. I would imagine it would result in the game refusing to load or graphical corruption.

why does max have this in frotn of his bed

>>538817224
true, especially the ps2's relying so much on interlacing that you basically cannot emulate in shaders makes it too much of a hassle. If you're gonna do native res you need to hook it to a real crt.

>>538835338
Shaders and PCSX2's various deinterlacing algos (and game hacks) can in fact go a great deal in working around its interlacing. Of course there are several other things the PS2 relies on CRT-magic for (generally low resolution, no antialiasing low color depth, dithering) but shaders can help a bit there as well. I won't be a smart-ass, though, I generally do agree that a native PS2 image looks far better on a CRT from some feet away.

>>538822667
Yeahhhh, Smash4/Ult's SP content and lack of trophies really makes it a shit game unless you have friends who are into it. Zoomies will never experience this.

Man this is awful, just ports, multiplats, indie crap. Why even do this? Nintendo was always too stupid to just throw a few trailers together of games people actually care about but this might be a new low.

Their main target audience also used to be boys, now it literally seems to be babies and women.

>>538847175
OK Metroid Prime 4 looks great. Still.

This is technically not a bug, but Striker's already got an option for this. Have you tried it?

>>538847774
How could anyone possibly know? I would guess it'll be 90% fine but crash occasionally and have a few troubled spots in each emu. I wouldn't put it past Nintendo to put things in it that stress and break Yuzu and Ryujinx.

>>538847803
When did I say it was?

>>538848069
Lots of times, but not specifically this one. Remember your whole Torneko episode? It's okay. That was probably some other guy. I'll take my meds and lie down.

>>538848330
No. I remember shitstation rendering the game wrong. This is just interlacing.

>>538822667
Brawl’s got stickers and trophies. I’m playing "Subspace Emissary." Back in my 20s, I thought it was faggy and lame--too busy being an Xbox 360 dudebro, talking shit in Halo 3 matchmaking. Now, as an old fuck, I’m diving into crap I was “too cool” to touch back then.

"Subspace Emissary" plays like a Kirby game, but instead of sucking up powers, you swap characters. It’s a comfy 2D platformer with brawler shit thrown in. Stickers boost stats, like some RPG bullshit. Gotta scrape off the old sticker to slap on a new one, which is kinda dope.

Story’s decent--a silent movie where Ganondorf, Wario, and Bowser get played like idiots by some mastermind, while Dedede’s just fucking around, causing chaos for shits and giggles. Kirby’s on his own path, being a badass. He ain’t saving nobody, ain’t out for revenge (like Pikachu), or on some mission (like Samus or Snake). He’s just doing Kirby shit.

At 56% done, I would say: Brawl’s certified kino. If it’s hated, it’s ‘cause loudmouth competitive trannies are bitching. Yeah, it’s got some split-second jank, but it’s a Nintendo party game, made by HAL Laboratory, run by the Kirby dude. You gotta be the biggest faggot to cry about a party game being casual. Same as dipshits malding over Fighter Megamix’s balance. The fun was picking Hornet, screwing around with friends, and doing dumb shit, not sweating some serious competitive bullshit.

TL;DR: Melee trannies are just stinky whiners.

>>538848465
Idiot.

>>538847803
Which emu is?

>>538849549
Ymir. Cigzo's latest victim.

>>538849284

Got a deck. How do I install update files for Switch games through Ryujinx?

I honestly hope this results in face/namefagging normies shutting up about their stupid opinions whole-cloth, realizing the internet is only a rope to hang yourself with, or corpos fuck off and divorce themselves completely from employee social media behavior. Hoping for the former. People need to go back to 90s internet "presume everyone is a creep" behavior and anonymize themselves. This facebook shit was always poison.

god I want to drill her ass till she bleeds brown

Anyone have experience emulating Lindbergh games? Any experience with TeknoParot?

>>538849284
I thought it was ok for what it was, but it does play kinda janky, as the Brawl physics are not really made for tight platforming (not that Melee's were either - the platforming segments in Adventure mode didn't feel the best, but at least they were short), not to mention they slow everyone's movement down to account for multiple players, so just moving around feels kinda sluggish.

>>538865024
It works.

>>538763015
Atomic Heart, also.

>>538866787
I can see it as slower with less of a solid 'core' than Melee in retrospect but I still had a lot of fun with it. Lots of casual matches with friends and gfs. A lot of the new characters had neat mechanics and gimmicks. Tripping can eat me but what can you do? At least the game can be easily modded now.
>>538849284

I started using Playnite a couple days ago (for pc, steam, Ebic, pirate shit and retrostuff) but I'll install RetroBat today to do stuff for PS2 and under.

Don't re-invent the wheel, anon.
>>538750072
Finally got into PS2 emulation and tested a couple compressed and uncompressed images,absolutely no problem. Worth it, it saves a ton of space for most games

Advice on deapdiving into sheer autism when figuring these things out? What kind of crack do I need to be smoking to conquer it?

When the fuck is TricNES 1.2 getting released? Dude made a huge deal about his accuracy test ROM, yet he hasn't bothered to upload the latest version of his emu yet.

>>538887084
his emu doesn't even support user input. it's meant for tas validation or some gay fag shit like that.

Seems pointless when Bizhawk exists and is tailored somewhat to the average end user.

Does anyone have a working version of the 1.1.0 update nsp file of Echoes of Wisdom? Virtually every file I can find on the web does not work on Ryujinx.

>trying to play XCXDE on Ryubing
>version 1.0.1 works
>when I load the nsp for 1.0.2 it crashes and there's absolutely nothing online about it and only 1 website is hosting the update so I don't even know if it's an emulator or file issue
Anyone tried this out themslves?

>>538891817
It would depend on which hardware revision metalnes is based off of.

>>538895726
I'd like to know regardless. I want to know what those sweet sweet seconds per frame on a stupid applel will get you.

>>538895629
That seems to be a file issue, since I was able to start my 1.0.2 version without crashing. What website are you getting the update from?

>>538897332
Nswpedia, do you have a better place? Every other websites I've seen has 1.0.1 and I can't find any torrents with a higher version.

>>538897539
nswgame.com has the 1.0.2 update and is pretty reliable from my personal experience. If nothing else, the comments will say if there's any problems with the downloads.

>>538897801
Yeah weirdly enough the one from that website crashed too. Not sure what's wrong, maybe I'll need to find a different copy of the game itself.

>>538889703
None of the current ones do, including TricNES 1.0.1?

>>538898708
It's possible it's because of a mismatch in regions between the game and update. That's the problem I'm having with Echoes of Wisdom, since it seems the only 1.1.0 update available from wherever I can look is for Great Britain weirdly enough.
Try downloading the game itself through nswgame.

can i use steam's new framerate counter in my resulators?

>>538898831
Quite the contrary, NRS and Mesen handle the Mapperless demo like champs. (Meanwhile, it crashes on TricNes 1.0.1)

>>538899943

Stupid question time, why didn't Ymir just clone mednafe's Sega Saturn core?

>>538900589
i dont know how to do it. can it be done?

>>538892501
>every file I can find on the web does not work on Ryujinx.
You probably need to update your keys/firmware.

>>538900668
because he could make his own, and probably wants to see if he can do certain things better/faster. Sometimes people just do things because they can and it's fulfilling for them. If ciggy's to be believed, copying everyone else's work is to blame for Duckstation having a lot of the existing ones problems and its own. Since he's copying the work and not fully grasping it at the same time. Though I think he has added to it in the way of features/peripherals and usability. Ymir's off to a relatively rough start (though already FAR better than Yabause/clones) but if he sticks with it we may have an optimal emulator that doesn't need a 3rd party frontend/sharts and a high end CPU to use. May even get uprezzing at some point.

>>538902230
Not that Anon, but while I like Mednafen, I still want a good Saturn emulator with some enhancement options
I don't mind playing at native res or having checkerboard transparencies, but I'd really like a good Saturn emulator with a deinterlacing option just for playing interlaced games

Putting Eden on the Google Play store seems to me like a bad idea

rpcs3 seems to have a vram leak on the linux version maybe just the appimage version

sad rpcs3 doesnt work with opengl

>>538909704
With shaders, all is possible. Ymir also does this cleanly without post-process blur.

>>538922583
>deinterlacing

>>538922718
Nice one, quickdraw lol

>>538922583
>>538922718
Oh wait, nevermind, I'm retarded
But if you do it with shaders then the image becomes blurry as fuck because it has to blend odd and even lines

>>538922850
Yeah, post-processing's not perfect obviously. It's neat, though. Here's Ymir doing it much better with its native option.

>>538923509
How accurate is Ymir so far anyway? I'm assuming it's not quite on Mednafen's level yet

>>538924384
Not quite as accurate as Mednafen but a lot of stuff works.

Add the resulator as a non-steam game(click the + in the bottom left) and enable the performance monitor in the in-game section of the steam settings.

Half the recent Azahar updates have been "we fked up something that used to work properly sry guyz pls updot", are these guys using AI to code or something?

>>538926059
Just move to a mid-tier third-world country like Mexico if that happens. Sure, you'll lose some conveniences and you'll deal with more petty crime, dirtier streets, and overt corruption, but the government and most people in general will most likely not give a shit about piracy or anything that you do so long as it doesn't directly step on anyone important's toes.

You too can play Torneko in ciggyvision with this neat trick and moving the character. It goes away with any other interlacing setting, though, so be careful!

>>538938531

Is Ciggy the guy who always plays with the wrong deinterlacing setting and then claims that the emulator is broken?

>>538939923
It was one of his gags for a minute.

What will you emulate this winter

>>538940646
Just beat The Lion King a few moments ago. Has its few bullshit moments, but is otherwise a straightforward platformer. Took me forever to find out you're supposed to press slash, then jump to throw Scar off the cliff. It helps that I played the Genesis version first, since I hear that's the best one.

>>538938531
So it still doesn't look right.

>>538940847
it's a real shame how bullshit this game is and just much bad conveyance though. probably the biggest waste of 10/10 vibes and authentic presentation in a game

>>538940847
It is the better version. It somehow sounds better than the SNES game, and the game's camera and assets were design with the MD's resolution in mind. You can't see as much in the SNES game. Western games kinda were better on Genesis on average. It really isn't that bad of a game outside of that goddamned ostrich.

>>538941027
Not with that mode, no.

>>538849284
I've replayed SSE using the PM/P+ mod and I think it's pretty fantastic. It didn't take until using that mod until it kinda made me realize a lot of it's enemy placements and designs encourage you to learn some decent fundamentals of the game. Like how to deal with zoners, approach, etc. It's kinda surprising given you'd think you can trivialize a lot with items but it's not totally guaranteed especially in harder difficulties. Not to encourage shitflinging about melee mechs or modern smash mechs, but for me who enjoys the smash mechanically and not competitively, it helped me appreciate brawl a lot more. (Though I will still seethe about target test being objectively worse)

>>538940847
>It helps that I played the Genesis version first, since I hear that's the best one.
Always take it with a grain of salt when you hear that online, for some reason Sega fanboys are insanely vocal. Usually there are just pros and cons wih not much reason to even proclaim one the winner, but they can't help themselves
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jOLFo0hDl4

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWDkqD2nnDE
At 2:00 the Genesis version doesn't even sound like the movie at all, like either they didn't know what they were doing or there were licensing issues. I think it's also missing all the humming and singing. Both versions sometimes look better and sometimes worse

>>538924384
It's very work in progress.

>>538946282
Yeah, I just beat the SNES version too and "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" sounds better on that version. I personally like the music in both versions, but I tend to pick and choose which sounds better to my ears.

>>538941346
>It really isn't that bad of a game outside of that goddamned ostrich.
Having to grab the hippo tails (but actually having to grab an invisible spot somewhere on the left side) is equally bad or worse in that level

>>538946282
I grew up as an "SNES kid" and had the game on it. I later played the Genesis version and it's clearly the lead platform and best version of it. Even musically in most cases. Most of those Virgin/Perryjank platformers were way better on MD because the assets were meant for that wider resolution. You get double-stuffed on the SNES ports because everything's wider than it should be because of the pixel aspect ratio and you can see less of it. Granted it's mostly western slop that applies, but still.

>>538980795
See also: Aero/Zero and Earthworm Jim 1/2.

and yeah the SNES versions would have a few platform specific niceties (transparent lens flare in EWJ and a few more sample-based musical touches) but I'd argue seeing the goddamn game and without astigma-vision is superior.

I sort of agree, except when he needs a federal investigation to prove what's 99% likely hardware issues on a stupid demo disc or other non-issues like stars looking 'funny' in an FMV. It's just overburdening the dev and wasting his time at that point.

Honestly, devs should probably have a modded version of the console they're emulating, but stanks is already questioning the fucking disc people are already testing. There's multiple different dumps of it and they all have the same issue. If we're going to be this pissy and petty about the dump why even bother with emulation anyway? Might as well just go real hardware, real copies if you're gonna be such a pessimistic pain in the ass.

You buy the copy of the demo and play it on your Saturn, thelastangryman1907, if you have that little faith in people. Otherwise close it.

>>539002585

What is up with Western, licensed games and dreadful pacing? Either a stage takes way too long to complete (like picrel) or is so short you could beat it in less than 30 minutes.

>>538984796
you know what I'm talking about you pidoras

>>539011917
Westerners just didn't "get it" for pretty much all of the retro era. Only after the dust had settled and indie devs found out (from Japanese games) what worked did they got it together somewhat (politics aside) in the indie era.

Oddly enough literal boomers from the pinball era made better 2D action games in the early 80s than Gen X in the 90s. Dunno what they had, or what was lost.

>>539015313
Maybe Boomers still had some carny DNA left in them.

Take a drink every time a Western, licensed game makes you play a janky minigame. That Pac-Man clone in Time Warp is truly awful.

>>539022573
Though I gotta say, at least it's not Fire Dogs. That game is just 2 stages that repeat endlessly.

>>538982348
Kenji-NX is litteraly just Yuzu but tweaked so you need to use decrypted rom, which mean no need for keys and so, technically, free from that Nintendo's attack angle. But overall, it would still be just Yuzu.

>>539023760
>free from that Nintendo's attack angle
Not really, since you're just separating the emulator into two parts(the decryptor and the emulator). The law isn't retarded. The emulator can't play games without someone circumventing their protections.

>>539025220
If you only propose a program that read uncrypted rom, then you're not responsable if someone else make a program to decrypt them.

Despite being a pretty terrible beat 'em up with minigames consisting of cheap knockoffs of arcade classics, the credits are at least funny.

>>539027216
BTW, I hear this isn't even the worst beat 'em up the SNES has to offer. Bebe's Kids seems to be an infamous example, and I believe it.

Indie games are awful.
They take japanese games and just make homages, but they don't understand what made them work in the first place.
They might look right superficially, but they lack the level design and polish of 90s japanese games, and because they have tiny budgets, the graphics are never as good. Plus they're purposely pandering to nostalgia so they have absolutely no motivation to be innovative with the gameplay whatsoever.

What's the best non broken recent build/builds of RPCS3?

That Virtua Fighter demo probably just needs a different controller. The spaceship instead of the standard one or vice versa. Or it's expecting a specific BIOS version or hardware revision.

Well, there ya go. Probably won't happen for a long time, and I doubt they'll do it themselves, but at least they've finally come out and said they'd welcome virtualization for the sake of performance.

Probably won't happen at all, then in 5 years:

This game may have given me an A-, but I give it an F- for being total shit. I'm so glad Virtual Bart ditched the "Windy World" and embraced being a janky minigame marathon.

>>539057753
Indiana Bart deserves a special place in hell, worst game of the lot.

If you want a trip check out Bill Williams's other works. Alley Cat is a neat little mini game collection, some parallels to Nightmare can be drawn here. His other games are mad fucking weird even by the most fringe indie standards of today. Check out Necromancer, Mindwalker, and Knights of the Crystalion.

>>539058389
Neat, seems like the Minter-type of guy. I'm sure I'll get a kick out of Bill Williams' games, thanks for the recs!

>>539058389
Alley Cat is a very interesting game. It's one of the oldest DOS games that's both unique and fun, and unlike almost every game of its era, it has no issues running on faster CPUs.

>>538977845
lol, and people keep claiming that shitstation is the definitive psone emu. I assume only if you look at the GUI without booting any game

I've completed the Genesis version for science, and this was definitely made for SNES first. (Even down to the resolution, which is normally wider on Western Genesis games.) The Itchy & Scratchy minigame seemed to have worse collision detection when using the plunger. Bartman fares best on Genesis since it lacks all the slowdown the SNES version had. However, a lack of slowdown still doesn't save it from being a lackluster game.

Time to try out Virtual Bart?

>>539070249
That's next on my list, yes. It'll be a nice break from that horrible attempt at a hub world.

Holy shit, people weren't kidding when they say Dino Bart could've been its own game with how long it is. 5 whole-ass parts for what's supposed to be a simple platforming section? Yikes! Having a "roar" on hand is a necessity too, since Bart's tail whip is nearly useless.

So I decided to re-visit the subject of Pitfall for Windows 95. I think I discovered something: it seems to want to run at 50 Hz or multiples thereof. Since the Fullscreen modes don't work properly, I tried the Double Windowed (640x448) mode in various refresh rates to see which one worked best. My monitor is VRR and is currently set to 120 Hz, and modern 86Box recognizes this and lets you set it to various refresh rates up to 120 Hz with a good enough video card. I noticed 60 Hz and 120 Hz exhibited a lot of tearing, but interestingly enough, 100 Hz exhibits pretty much none, and while it doesn't have perfect frame pacing, it's smooth enough that I can say this may be the best way to play this game. Be sure to set color depth to either 256 colors or 16-bit, though. Any higher, and it'll exhibit massive slowdown.

>>539055658
What's the point of PIII/P4+ performance if you can only emulate a Voodoo? 86Box and PCem are built for the '81-'99 era, mainly focusing on MS-DOS, Windows 3.x, Windows 9x, and early graphics APIs like Glide (and maybe DirectX 7, nothing more). The real challenge for the Y2K era (Windows XP, Mac OS X) isn't just the CPU, it's the graphics (and other minor things). Emulating the DirectX 8.1 and 9.0c is requires a new approach.

https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Windows_NT_5.x_emulators#Recommended_solutions

>>539073331
I think everyone involved knows this. Right now the issue is getting even low-end Pentium II performance is a challenge for anything lower than high-end CPUs. Virtualization would massively lower the barrier to entry and so allow most people to actually be able to run everything up to the hardware/software environment you describe. The period after that is an entirely different story, of course, and will require emulation of higher-end ATI and Nvidia cards.

What are some games I can play on my phone with this thing?

>>539038832
No idea what you're talking about. Metroid Prime is the only noteworthy 3D Metroidvania IP and action adventures with fun varied level design and gameplay in general have become a rarity (I assume thanks to people like you).

>>539075081
It's awesome to hear that Bochs is still kicking. I've added that information to the wiki.

It's an off-palette Dr Pryor,

Weird question: is there a (good-ish) emulator with both a PC and a mobile version? Or two random PC/phone emulator with compatible save files?
I'm about to get stuck with only a phone for a while but I wish I could continue my playthroughs on PC afterward.

Is there any way to play tag force psp games online???

>>539082061
Never tried but I'm guessing that if you use the same Retroarch core, the save should be compatible

>>539073331
Lots of games that run on 9x want P3/4 + GeForce/decent D3D performance to run properly. Lithtech games come to mind. System Shock 2. Several late 90s to early 2K titles that run on both 9x and XP. It would be nice to be able to purely emulate these without wrapper and hack hokey pokey. Stop making excuses for PCem's new stewards who can't meaningfully build on it. 86box is all about refinement, not improvement. It's nice but we need more.

>>539073808
And yeah there are some instances that buckle my Zen4 with a P2 guest. It's slow, and 86box is slower than PCem.

Does anyone have the Yo-Kai Watch 1 update nsp for 1.4.0?
They updated it recently and the fantrasnaltion needs that update, I can only find 1.3.0

Is resulation based or gay?
I think is based because is free and there's a fuckton gucci games to play.
But I think is gay as fuck because the brains behind he blips and bloops and that computer shit are fucking trannies, groomers and turbo autistic faggots like Stenzek.
So yeah, I'm not quite sure if more based than gay or viceversa.

Anyone here with a freesync monitor?
I read that freesync struggles to sync on some arcade games due to their unorthodox refresh rate like the mortal kombat games(54.706hz).
Anyone try it?

>>539061508
I like it, anyway. Of note is that it has an earlier Atari 8bit computer version that looks and sounds quite a bit different. The DOS version also supports the Tandy audio/video standard which was a little advanced beyond CGA+PC speaker. Also has a fan remake on PC with simultaneous co op and a few more mini games. Also of note was Williams's abandonment of game development after Bart's nightmare, completely embracing theology instead, and the fact that he died in his 30s from cystic fibrosis.
>>539070079
Lead platform mattered so much back then.
SNES to MD: stretched assets and cropping, greatly reducing horizontal visibility
MD to SNES: color/sound/"mode7" nerfs without the benefit of MD's higher res.

>>539104427
It shouldn't struggle at all. So long as it's within the VRR range of your display it should be perfectly smooth. Make sure MAME is using your monitor's native refresh rate and VRR is enabled in your drivers.

One thing I've gathered about VRR is that you want to force games to use your monitor's highest/native refresh rate any way you can. Through drivers, game settings, or CRU. Some apps/games pick 60hz which eliminates all the benefits. VRR sync only shines if the game is running below your native refresh rate, so a 60fps game on a 60hz display mode makes it moot.

>>539105259
I notice that the freesync range for most monitors is 48 to whatever the max refresh rate of the monitor is.
So if a game like rampage runs at 30hz, freesync wont work for it?

>>539106142
Yes. It will use a frame doubling tech called LFC/low frame rate compensation transparently in that case.

>retroach mobile
Oh god, the UI is horrible.
Where the fuck is the option to move the button overlay lower? Default placement work well for GB game, but DS ones have double the height and it's shit.

>>539106475
So when it comes to emulation, gsync doesnt have any advantages, freesync gets the job done?

>>539107406
Some will argue the frame pacing may be slightly better on gsync chip displays but in my experience they act about the same. HDMI2.1 card+display combos all handle VRR very well too.

>>539107638
Alright thanks, I plan getting a new pc, planning on going full amd, and believe it or not freesync performance is quite the dealbreaker since I spend more time emulating than playing modern games.

Any chances of Switch 2 emulation happening? I only care about the new FE so I have no plans of getting the console just to collect dust.

>>539117045
Environmental activists should be decrying console exclusivity. I think there's a lot of overlap between Nintendo fans and armchair environmentalists. There's no good reason consumers should need to own more than one videogame playing machine. Nintendo is basically saying "you should need to buy our videogame machine made from earth's limited resources even though you already have a more powerful videogame machine because... because we deserve to make a lot of money okay!?!?!" And somehow people who care about the environment support this business.

>>539117045
>Any chances of Switch 2 emulation happening?
doubt it. Nintendo’s a master at Jewish tricks and will probably sue anyone who tries messing with their stuff into bankruptcy and slavery. But there’s a chance a hyper-smart guy like gdkchan could pull it off, working from the shadows in total anonymity.
tl:dr
The odds are slim.

>>539118968
It's not illegal, though. It wouldn't even be illegal to charge money for an emulator.

>>539108914
I make it work.

>>539117045
Don't ever bother asking that question again until the switch 2 is hacked. No switch 2 games can ever be emulated until that happens.

>>539118968
The problem is the people that would work on these emulators want the publicity so they would never work in the shadows.

>>539108914
Whats the issue?
I know in the past AMD had shoddy openGL support, but it has been improved a lot and almost all emulators support vulkan today.

>>539118775
>>539118968
Fuck nintendo, man. Worst thing has to be that in my opinion nintendo main titles are the shittiest options in their catalogues(never cared about Mario or Donkey for example) and the Switch just happened to be a comfortable portable console with a huge library of non nintendo exclusive titles so guess I won't be playing another FE game.

>>539117045
>>539121091
Would it be wise to buy a Switch 2 now in anticipation of custom firmware exploit later that can enable sailing of the high seas?

>>539124373
Sure but you might be waiting a long time.

Amd has trouble with that too on windows.

>>539119390
Legality means fuck all when you're rich or a giant corporation. You can threaten to sue or sue and drag out the legal process as long as it takes to beat the defendant into either desisting, bankruptcy, or an unfavorable settlement. Remember that the case that made emulation legal still resulted in the company that "won" going bankrupt due to legal costs. And these days, the courts are more corpo-friendly than they have been in decades, so it wouldn't surprise me if the day comes when a case actually goes through and overturns the previous case law.

>>539134324
How come the U.S. doesn't have the same rules as every other country, where the loser in a legal battle has to pay all the legal fees?

>>539124373
If you really want to pirate Switch 2 games, then doing so will maximize your odds.
Is it wise? Absolutely not.
