how long have you fags been doing this

Thingy.

In Haunted Casino (Japan) for the Saturn after you get the key off the statue and go in the first door on the left what is meant to happen? It's a guy eating something and talking about russian roulette but it's just a black screen. Is there meant to be an FMV?

Why is it that Dolphin and PCSX2 have no problem automatically detecting and adding games to your library but in Retroarch this is a manual process and 25% of your roms aren't detected properly?

This? Looks like in this vid he opens it and nothing happens there either. Maybe random/weird shit plays and it's a weird gag.

>>542084098
He doesn't go in there in the video. He just opens the door and leaves.

>>542013094
how did you make the umd icons for the games all unique?

>>542084093
I just Everything (something you should have installed anyway, absolutely essential) and drag what I search for into an open Retroarch window. This makes a core selection prompt come up. The only exception is arcade games which are zipped in an 8 char format that isn't easy to search for, then I use dat/playlists.

>>542084560
[hoarder shows you his private collection while stuffing his face ASMR] Nothing on MiSTer or the others, seems like different directions gives you different weird audio clips like you're stumbling in the dark til you hit the back button. All the Jap videos seem to go right in the gambling sadly.

You *can* leave the room, though, I was able to hit some equivalent of a back button eventually, but I did think it was a softlock.

Well shit at least one of them says he was on an emulator. Seems like a collab review though, so maybe some had hardware? They at least have the stupid disc. Anyway, it seems very much like some sort of in-game gag. I believe one of the directions has you stumbling violently in the foley sfx.

Casper (USA)

This works on the QEMU VM listed here:
>>541978919
You'll want to sideload a win98 compatible filezilla to the machine via ISO. By default this machine is looking for wrappers.iso in the same directory, but you can change that.

emu

Finally, my talent has gone noticed! Not gonna lie, I'm having more fun with this game than I should have.

It's been around two months since Azahar started to crash in games that work fine on Citra and Lime and they're yet to fix it

LMAO, TJ & Earl (almost) predicted Space Goofs!

I hate every aspect of this wretched fucking game. I hate the washed out charmless dishwater graphics. I hate the knockoff Link to the Past combat. I hate the dead lifeless open world with nothing to fucking do in it. I hate the dungeons. I hate the guess what the slant was thinking "puzzles" I hate the joke localization. I hate the 10 frames of input lag suckstation adds. This is the 5th gen example of overproduced soulless safe big budget corporate slop.

>>542109231
gen

>>542121938
I'm gonna guess you're using exclusive fullscreen, optimal framepacing, and the reduce latency option? I don't think you're a "VRR monitor owner" kind of guy, but they help a lot for emu lag. It's either that or disabling vsync and eating the tearing. The game itself may be laggy. I haven't done a lot of comparison between Duckstation, Mednafen, Swanstation as far as input lag goes. I barely use DS outside of seeing what you're talking about.

>>542114363
I love it when you eat shit in Skitchin' and the judges weigh in. This game hugely benefits from OCing the guest, runs at like 12fps otherwise.

>>542130602
It's also a case where an undithering algo or composite helps, because it has jail bars on the border of the blader and other sprites as a form of antialiasing.

I wonder if SEGA has an internal memo on how to jew more colors and transparencies out of the system with certain patterns.

>>542117386
Priority - Low my dude. Don't expect it to be fixed anytime soon.

>>542103984
Of note about this VM: You do need to add the wrapper DLLs (wined3d, opengl32, ddraw) into the root/exe directory D3D/OGL games. The OS itself thinks there's no 3D accelerator and is completely blind to it. The DLLs allow the game to connect to the softgpu. Glide games like Unreal engine titles justwerk with the included wrapper built into Windows, no intervention necessary, and pretty damn well.

Tell us a funny story about a hoarder. That usually spices things up around here.

>>542137135
You remember when some people tried to save the last working Ridge Racer Full Scale machine? And some creature beat them to the punch pretending to work for a video game museum and bought it first. And when the original group finally tracked it down months later they found it dismantled in the backyard of an abandoned house left out in the rain.

>>542137996
lmfao, classic. Then it was some scorched earth malicious "no one gets it" shit or they guy was such a sock-shitting negligent freak that it ended up on blocks redneck style?

>>542132604
Is this for qemu-3dfx and windows 9x guest? Which wrappers u'r using besides the ones provided by qemu-3dfx? I typically use WineD3D for VMware and VirtualBox (for winxp guest) when the virtual GPU adapter is incompatible with the game. d3d8to9 seems useful, but from my testing, it’s incompatible with 32-bit Windows XP guest.

>>542143219
They come on the pre-mounted wrappers iso, but honestly you don't need it because you'll find them in the benchmark folders too, next to the exes. opengl32, wined3d, ddraw. Those need to be in any non-Glide game's folder next to the exe. That makes Qemu-3dfx and the justwerx build/setup on that github work with d3d/ogl. Highly recommended to set up FTP to the host as adding new files will suck otherwise. It's fast, though. Like 30mb/sec transfer.

>>542143596
yeah, qemu-3dfx seems like the best choice for running late 90s to early 2000s D3D6 games with great performance; no other IBM-PC emulator really keeps up for those. Not sure about D3D7~9 games that don’t work well with VboxVGA or SVGA3D, though. I don’t think it’s a great option for a Windows XP guest setup...

>>542144457
Yeah, I've yet to fuck with it at all in XP, and it has a few quirks in 9x. Wheel Of Time plays Quicktime movies back choppily. That one's a *real* bitch, and is a problem on modern Windows because of Quicktime as well.

>>542144667
There's at least a peixoto patch for that that fixes FMVs anyway.

If you know of any games that you can't get working, or working well, in modern Windows I'd be happy to try them in this VM. Honestly I can convince most things to work natively with dg + otvdm but I know there are exceptions.

>>542145076
Action Man: Raid on Island X

>>542145076
I don't mess with modern Windows for old software. VirtualBox or VMware works great for Windows XP and Vista guest, and I use IBM-PC emulators for Windows 9x and MS-DOS. Check this out for vGPU compatibility: https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Virtual_GPU_Adapter_Compatibility_List

>>542146024
Yeah, tried VirtualBox + softgpu and it works but I experienced some instability and speed issues with it. Unreal games with 3d accel were dog-slow. This seems much better for that at least. Just looking out for differences between qemu and vm+soft as it's novel to me, and I don't think many people have fucked with it because QEMU is the absolute shits to set up for humans... until I found this setup on github.

I even posted some shots of Vbox+soft on here several threads ago, lol, Oregon Trail 4-5 ran well with it. It's another Quicktime-heavy game. Have to see if those run as well in qemu-3dfx.

and yeah, anything to avoid the no-talent assclown speed cap on 86box. They need a dude who knows how to optimize x86 or is willing to implement virtualization. Enough's enough. I get it you made it easier to use. Great. You also made something already slow slower.

>but it's good enough for mid 90s stuff!
No, it isn't. You even open a folder in a 300mhz guest and it wants to die til it loads.

>>542147749
CPU emulation can be slow, sure, and yes virtualization might fix that for CPU-intensive games. But the real challenge is GeForce emulation, how do you handle that? I think that is the biggest problem.

>>542148198
Wrapping can/has gone a long way there. Just look at how useful dgvoodoo and wined3d is. Legit emulation is always ideal, though. Might need to leverage GPU compute LLE, but only one squarehead prodigy has the will and the skill to do it.

and of course maybe something can be gleaned from Xemu. Speaking way, way above my ability and knowledge here. Not a dev.

>>542148016
I brought this up in a previous thread; xemu nailed Pentium III and NV2A emulation without going the very high-level emu approach. Yes, xemu is sticking to a single design (even though it has custom elements), and honestly, I bet most folks would be satisfied anyway with just emulating something like a Pentium 4 + D3D9c GeForce 6600. No need for adding dozens of other chips; that's only crucial for the Win9x era, which was a testing ground with lots of proprietary APIs and people still trying to figure out what the future would be.

>>542147749
>They need a dude who knows how to optimize x86 or is willing to implement virtualization
Yeah good luck with that, anybody who knows that is poached by corpos because they are massively needed.Autist's are even easier to poach since you can offer them toilet cleaner pay and they will accept as long as they can work from home and have a tranny avatar.

>>542149058
Oh yeah that target's perfectly acceptable. If only.

>>542149928
Yup, it supports Shader Model 3.0, Direct3D 9c, and OpenGL 2.0, and it's the latest NVIDIA GPU with official Windows 9x support.

>>542078715 (OP)
I'm trying to play the Mark of Kri, but during menus and gameplay the screen vibrates a lot. During cinematics it's fine.
Every tip I can find on my own just mentions to cycle through the different interlacing settings, but none of them fixes it. At best it's like pic related.
Am I screwed? All my other games work fine

>>542152242
Play it in retroarch with the cartoon shader. It works perfectly.

>>542152242
Blend mode helps with the raw output, but you really need to be applying the patch. Go into the GAME settings instead of PCSX2's.

>>542153841
Ah, I'm an idiot. Thank you very much

Dead?

Didja know? You can completely disable Win9x's annoying scandisk at startup like this!

>>542166532
Tendie tries to make something for an actual console, fails hard. Many such cases.

>Autorun from a DaemonTools mount said that the disc wasn't inserted til I killed the QEMU/guest machine drive, making DaemonTools the only 'drive' available
Quality awaits.

Yeah, I see the game's a real jerk about detecting the disc/drive natively, despite all my tricks with mounting + dxwnd.

Hard mode: games that barely run/don't run in 86box, and also have issues natively in modern OSes.

Offhand Lithtech games are sort of weird. Like this one Diehard game. Remember it being real janky in 10. Lithtech is also way too heavy for 86box.

3ds emulation has two new emulators.
Vita emulation is dead and switch emulation are just two forks with random improvements/regressions.

>>542171146
>3ds emulation has two new emulators.
which are? The only "new" ones I know of are panda(complete meme emu going nowhere) and tanuki(also going nowhere).

>Vita emulation is dead
works fine for all the games i've tried

>>542172218
>panda(complete meme emu going nowhere) and tanuki(also going nowhere)
Never even tested them i see.
>works fine for all the games i've tried
Yeah, you just played persona 4 golden. Around half of the library has issues.

What are some Vita exclusives or definitives (and why) of note? Legit curious and not shooting the system down. I know of TxK and there's that Gundemoniums special edition only on it and PS4. Speaking of PlatineDespotif, play this on Switch. It's fun. Might work on Shad now too.

>>542131918
Nah, it was just cheaper. Had the Genesis had 128k VRAM as originally intended, its VDP could've pulled well above its weight.

>>542174127
Well yeah, but these methods became nearly ubiquitous toward the end to work around it. I just wonder how the word got around as these patterns got more and more common.

>>542174392
>I just wonder how the word got around as these patterns got more and more common.
Probably like this
>These composite signals sure are blurry. I know, let's make a checker dot pattern so it vaguely appears transparent!

>>542174726
It's a good thing for SEGA that MD and SS were 320 pixels wide. 256 wide systems like SNES and PCE don't composite mesh nearly as well.

>>542172863
>Never even tested them i see.
I have and they're worthless.

>>542175092
>256 wide systems like SNES and PCE don't composite mesh nearly as well.
Guess that's unfortunate for all the few H32 games, which use the SNES' resolution.

>>542175267
Merges you can smell, and like man-ass, feet, Wendy's wrappers, and unwashed sheets in stale air.

>>542175293
H32 was basically doing it wrong, or lazily ported from PCE/SNES

>>542168207
>DaemonTools
More like GaymanTools. It's Imgdrive lite or nothing.

>>542181865
That doesn't work in a Win98 guest, smart guy. I am using it to mount discs in the session because the only other option is shutting down and mounting via QEMU command line.

>>542181865
And it wouldn't solve the problem of the game not mounting right. The game's just such shit that it only works right on 9x machines with only one optical drive. Very smart post though. You told me.

>>542182135
Ouch, that sucks. Guess QEMU is a picky son of a bitch.

>>542182317
It is. If you don't FTP to it and shuffle ISOs into it and mount via something like DT or similarly compatible 9x disc mounter, you'll have to shut down a lot. With these tools it's fairly handy though

>>542182519
So let me get this straight, you quite literally have to use virtual drive software from within Win98 itself? That's horrible, and the fact you even made it this far is a miracle in and of itself! You'd think there'd be some kind of workaround where you can mount ISOs using your host instead.

Imgdrive is handy for one reason though: it's truly free (but sadly not open source) software that streams Redbook audio in modern Windows.

>>542182836
If there's a hotkey or minimal GUI to do this, I'd love to know. DT in 98 isn't that bad. It's pretty lite and seems to not have weird ads or drawbacks. I use it on my real 98+XP Pentium 4 all the time.

I feel bad for being snippy. Anyway, yeah, QEMU needs concessions like this.

>>542182836

>>542185095
Doesn't work mid session. Is there a mid session way to swap drives without preloading it in the script or cli?

>>542185192

>>542185429
Oh so you can combine some manager with it to run alongside it? Is there an equivalent for Windows?

Finally off work so I can probably find this out for myself without asking stupid questions; everything I've done with qemu-3dfx today has been on breaks; fuck my life.

>>542185542

The one bug I had was 40. She was still in decent shape and it was a nice time. I am now nostalgic.

>>542187289
Does that work in real time, and isn't a pre-session thing? If so, I kneel. The only modern one I could find, emugui, doesn't let you hotswap via GUI. DaemonTools/quick CLI commands work well enough, at least.

>>542194163
It's probably too low res to trip this shithole's automatic system.

sudachi is fucking dead what's the new best switch emu bros

>>542182891
You mean free as in beer but not free as in freedom.

Photo Genic (Japan) doesn't boot in Ymir. Or Kronos according to their list. It does work in Mednafen though and it's got that nice pc-98 graphics style. I don't like its chances in the rest of the C list saturn emus.

>>542203775
I'd put SSF and Mednafen as high tier and the rest as the chaff. SSF ran that one high-res text game you tried recently. Kronos/Yaba/Yabause are all pretty rotten. MAME driver doesn't seem too impressive either, never had it be the exception.

Can someone just make a fucking compute shader renderer for the Dreamcast's GPU already?
Flycast STILL has rendering issues on AMD GPUs.

>>542205395
Try the full frame buffer emulation option, that should render things as conservatively as possible, but is limited to 1x resolution.

>>542205395
Also, what issues? I have a couple AMD machines.

>>542205562
That doesn't fix the issue. It has something to do with z-buffering and transparency which leads to corrupted textures. Flycast has an option called "native depth interpolation" which is supposed to help, but it hardly fixes anything.

>>542206070
Game? Particular artifact?

>>542206534
It happens a lot in NAOMI 2 games. In Initial D Stage 3 you often see it on the sides of the tracks and on road markings.

>>542206972
I use an RX 5700 XT on Ubuntu 24.04 with the latest Libretro build of Flycast btw

>>542207119
I also tried messing with the native depth interpolation and alpha sorting options.
Didn't help.

>>542206972
>>542207119
Gonna guess it looks like "Z fighting", like the marking flickering in and out rapidly right? Seems right on my Nvidia card but that's expected. I have a mini with a 470ish APU and an HD 7870 with wacky CRTemudrivers so I'll check it out.

APU has the problem. Tried to work around it the best I could too. Gonna try the standalone.

>>542207285
>>542207119
Try the standalone. It looks fine for me without even tinkering with the settings beyond controls and ROM directory.

>>542207545
>>542207119
>>542209982
These are my settings and version in any case.

it's 2025, every emulator for every platform should have:
resolution upscaling

16:9 / 21:9 widescreen cheats enabled with 1 button press

>>542210816
Did you test with the other graphics APIs?

>>542211030
Not in standalone, but, I did just flip it to DX11 in Retroarch... and it fixed it there too.

>Ubuntu
Oh. Oops. Well shit. Wrapper might help?

honestly amd was pretty shitty until rdna2, but they'll be good again when rdna5 hits in 2027, I assume it'll be a popular generation and even emudevs will pay attention to it

>>542211030
Artifact's back when I flip OGL or Vulkan on in standalone. So, you're kinda fucked here with the Linux + AMD combo in Flycast... unless you WINE the Windows version + D3D in possibly. Maybe even a wrapper on top of your Vulkan/OGL native Linux version.

honestly emulation is much better on arch than the debian based distros, how often does ubuntu update mesa drivers? I've never used ubuntu but if I I'd use git mesa flatpack to be on the latest drivers and also the emulator flatpack, I assume would be bleeding edge

>>542191909

>>542223661
Yeah, there's just no way Mikage will ever make it in its current state. A majority of the code is still private, with the most important parts being JIT and a GUI.

>>542078715 (OP)

>>542078715 (OP)
Any recommendation for an Android emulator that could run FFTA2 with decent performances?
Managed to get Retroarch to run FFTA smoothly, but neither the Citra nor DeSmuME cores can run the sequel at more than 10fps.
Are those two as good as it can get & I should just give up on DS games until I get a less shitty phone, or there are more performant options available?

>>542228974
MelonDS

Funkin' ain't got shit on Funkotron.

But for real, I'm at the home stretch right now, and at around level 08-09 is where the level design starts to fall apart. While the first half felt more open-ended, the second half went for tight corridors and invisible enemies. I'm glad that if you earn enough points in the "Hyperfunk Zone", you're given permanent Super Jars. (Which were incredibly useful for that singing bastard in a box, who normally takes a million hits to jar.) Later levels also introduce doors, and we all know mazes and doors are an excellent combo in Western platformers...

>>542228974
>decent performances?
The real answer you're looking for is Drastic. I'm an x86fag personally, but I hear it runs on even the shittiest of phones.

>>542221876
Save us from what? 3ds emulation works fine on citra compared to the clusterfuck of juggling switch emulators. At least i can run perfectly zelda on 3ds compared to the switch emu's.

>>542228974
Drastic is your best bet, runs everything on even the worst chink clones.

>>542232495

>>542233951
Finished a minimum of a 50+eshop indie titles including the moon fps and they all work fine.

Switch emulation is a joke where every zoomie reports the game as playable if they can get past the tutorial.

>>542219675
>Panda and tanuki are new compared to citra.
Panda is worthless.
What does this Tanuki do? Never heard of it.

>The commits are language and changing some memory stuff
I see a lot of fixes in there too, like a fix for a MacOS crash in the 2nd to last commit.
Still, the emulator is still being updated whether you like it or not.

qemu-3dfx runs quicktime like shit no matter what I do (various versions and Quicktime Alternative, waveout/directsound, GDI/ddraw acceleration) -- real bummer for 9x games tbqh

>>542242858

Keep telling yourself that.

Oh great, what major bugs or features have they added?

So basically nothing.
>Still, the emulator is still being updated whether you like it or not.
I would like that they actually fix game issues and not make it running on something that less than 1% of the userbase has.

>>542243078
Most of those will likely run alright even on a slow 86Box machine, I'd wager, but I could be wrong about some.

>>542233514
>>542231686
Thanks, it's impressively better than the stuff from RetroArch.

Oregon Trail 5's panoramic FMV camera didn't run too hot on in 86box. It runs too fast natively. Vbox + softgpu seems to be best for it. The amount of virtual machines/emulators you need to cover the gamut of weird 9x/NT games is insane, lol. tbf 86box + vbox/soft+ dg/ot natively are fine for most, but the exceptions sure are exceptions. This new qemu-3dfx setup is nifty for pure hardware acceleration but it sucks to use and has problems like this.

>>542231179
Aren't you gonna tell us how it's sick, two nukes weren't enough, and you're totally not into it?

8-year-olds, dude.

>>542231057
Was this actually beat synced with timing judgment or did you simply simon-says it back to him? Pre-bemani rhythm mechanics are fascinating to me.

>>542245437
>The amount of virtual machines/emulators you need to cover the gamut of weird 9x/NT games is insane, lol
We need a hero, and exo ha mentioned multiple times that he wants to make something covering that time period.

sup you faggots, what are we emulating today?

>>542247948
Whatever you're having trouble emulating. I think I'm too old for games and fiddling with settings is the only thing I have the attention span for anymore.

>>542248553
Play myst like adventure games. Fiddling with stuff is the gameplay.

>>542248713
I did actually enjoy Lorelei and the Laser Eyes recently, finished that and had a pretty great time. Look Outside was fun. As for emulation I've been playing Cave shmups on my vertical CRT now and then. Not to say I *can't* enjoy games at all, I just find getting stuff to work ultimately what I do the most.

That Art of Balance the guy shilled on here the other day was fun, too. Kinda played what I needed and bounced, though.

>>542245437
So basically, 3D stuff is what you want QEMU for, while more 2D stuff will probably be fine on either 86Box (for the older pre-Win95 and Win9x games) or a VM setup (for newer games). Is that about the gist of it?

>>542247948
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, the definitive edition hack that restore the japanese difficulty and skip the card farming. I like it thus far. Funny, he's older by a year than Harmony of Dissonance, but I think he's better graphically.

>>542249507
I'd say that's a decent summary, sure. I will say that stuff that doesn't lean on QT seems okay, though.

The way qemu-3dfx goes about D3D/OGL with the dlls in every 3D game directory is also pretty friggin' hacky.

qemu's fullscreen scaling is also shit-ass. Using Lossless Scaling sharp-bilinear to make it decent.

>>542250481
>>542250898
Ugh, this on top of how shit it apparently is to use on Windows makes it really hard to recommend or to make a Jest Werks games pack with. It feels like most of the pieces are there to make a decent old Windows VM environment, just needs someone to bring it together and make it actually usable for non-loonix end users.

>>542251601
I'm still having fun fucking with it and https://github.com/kharovtobi/qemu-3dfx-arch/releases/tag/v10.0.0-1 does a ton of the heavy lifting. Justwerx pack it is most certainly not, though.

Or shit, maybe porting over the virtualization core to 86Box somehow may be enough. Might not even need the GPU passthrough bit unless you wanna play play those early 2000s games at high frame rates, and most of them work natively or with a wrapper anyway.

>>542251928
Wish in one hand, however... hasn't the current 86box guy said "it's possible and someone else is free to do it if they want :^)" in a similar way PCSX2 team is toward PGS?

the 7800 xt is at same price as the 9060 xt, my PC is AM4 (PCI 4.0) and every day we get more features back ported to rdna 3 (rocm 7, fsrr4)
I think I'm gonna buy a 7800xt, I know the raytracing sucks and I know RDNA5 comes in 2026 and it'll be light years ahead in RT and AI, but I want to play games and resulate NOW

>>542252015
He has. He also said he may do it himself someday in the future, but other stuff takes priority.

>>542243078
>>542144667
>>542146815
>>542249507
Okay let me amend/modify a few things. I just installed Oregon Trail 4 (that was the one was the FMV camera, not 5) and QT performs beautifully in it. It's just the videos in Wheel of Time that are all fucked up, in and out of game in the player. Could be my dump; will explore later. So maybe QEMU is just fine for most 2D stuff too. That Action Man game ran fine as well.

>>542253558
Well, nope, seems to be flaky there too. The main menu 'attract' FMV drops sound out randomly but is fine in-game. Other virtual soundcards have not helped here.

great, I'm the only faggot stupid enough to have tried this

Does myrient have a collection of videogame manuals somewhere that I'm missing? Do you guys just get your manuals from internet archive or is there a better place?

Nope, myrient lacks that, wish they added it.
Emumovies are much more complete, but the size gets inflated compared to archive.
But is nothing compared to the 10gb apple ii manual collection in the asimov.

I will say Myrient adding the full collection of prepatched fan translations and DOS games is based as fuck. Don't know when they did it but the site keeps getting better.

does it make sense to use black frame insertion on normal LCD screens? non-oled

>>542270974
Holy shit, they have the touhou roguelike games!

>>542272336
41

>>542271960
Yes, you get less motion blur. Also doesn't increase the likelihood of burn-in like it does on OLED.

>>542272919
I always thought that bfi only made sense on oleds because oleds are true black with the leds turning off and LCDs would add no benefit to motion blur, good to know it's useful on lcds, I'll be getting a new monitor on black friday and I'll get one with 180hz then to add 2 black frames on 60 fps retro emulation

>>542274473
>https://www.testufo.com/blackframes
damn, that's a crazy difference, this screen I'm using is 240hz, the bfi 120hz image is night and day

>>542274869
Over 2 decades and we are still trying to match CRTs in basically every aspect other than resolution.

I use CRTs on the daily lately and do not see a significant motion clarity difference between it and my OLED. I am not saying it isn't there, but I'm glad to have slow-eyes and OLED is just-good-enough for me. I can *definitely* see it on conventional LED/LCD displays though, especially @ 60hz. Scrolling has hideous artifacts there.

btw haven't used RA in a while, is this implemented yet? If so, how well does it work?
https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/16373

I've said it a million times but CRTs have their own motion artifact: phosphor decay. It looks kinda cool most of the time, but you can't avoid it and it is there.

https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/pull/13377#issuecomment-3392523650

AA1 (PS2's edge anti-aliasing responsible for all kinds of edge case graphics issues in emulator) getting fixed in the software renderer. Wish the soft float PR wasn't just rotting though...

>>542275541
Phosphor decay is probably the coolest display artifact out there tho
Some space themed games clearly take some advantage of it to make shit look really nice

>>542275964
Yeah, I feel the same. Defender looks cool on mine.

>>542275554
Isn't that broken on parallel-gs too?

>>542275382
I could see it everywhere when I switched my main monitor from a 85Hz CRT to a 144Hz IPS, it's really noticeable in sidescrolling and fast paced FPS games.

>>542276290
I believe it was a little better in P-GS at the time but there's a note about AA1 on the P-GS github page:

"AA1 implementation is questionable. There are many details which are unknown to me how it's supposed to work exactly."

https://afska.github.io/emudevz/
are you a bad enough dude to write a NES emulator

bfi should be a native graphics option to every game, maybe even to gpus on desktop
I'd run this screen at 120hz + bfi instead of 240hz all day, on every time of game, it's a better experience and demands much less of my gpu and cpu than to drawn 240 frames
honestly baffling that this isn't a thing

>>542276473
Yeah, IPS tech isn't a performer outside of color accuracy.

Crouch is being held down, it's probably your controller's trigger being slightly pressed/having a deadzone issue.
Also I'd play the HD remasters on RPCS3. The remasters were a bit shoddy and have some issues, but they look a hell of a lot better.

Devs need an openly "fuck'em" attitude toward Nintendo and piracy. This pussy-footing "it has to be heckin ethical" shit won't result in anything, and such devs will have to completely disregard this leak. We need anarchic devs, even if that means they'll have to deal with thirdies and kids asking them questions now and then, because I thnk half of the "no piracy :^)" thing is to get away from those types. Or they can just dev in private.

>>542286412
>Or they can just dev in private.

>>542286629
Yeah, pretty much everything I said won't happen because:
>devs fucking love corpos, at least as they are now, because they validate troons 110%
>devs (troons) have a sick parasocial relationship with their favorite companies and IPs
>devs hate users, hence the no piracy :^) shit despite surely having pornographic amounts of pirated content to test their software with
>devs are terminally online and crave attention and want those sweet Patreon and similar dollars

>>542292337
Danny was unironically correct about literally everything he said regarding money and emulation, and he was even nice enough to ironically set himself up as an example of what happens when devs chase money.

sometimes remasters are good, I'm playing ffxii on pc and it's a fine port, I'm enjoying it a lot
and the old square enix ports used to be pretty bad

Xenia is crazy good now somehow?

A lot of the netplay compatible games apparently "work locally" but not over a public server, I'm trying to figure out if Anarchy Reigns will work through Radmin VPN, either with a public server or a server I run myself, but my friend won't be home for a while

If anybody's got Xenia Canary Netplay and Radmin VPN installed and access to an Anarchy Reigns iso it'd be great to figure out exactly what's needed for this to work, assuming it will at all.

Okey, figured out what is wrong. The parallel gs option doesn't have my gpu listed in the adapter settings, just gives me default which crashes the moment i start.
Probably a parallel gs issue and not your builds.

>>542347715
that seems to be intended
collecting a backtrace with a debug build may be helpful but it's kind of involved

Looks like I've finally completed the game. I gotta say, for all its flaws, I got a lot of mileage out of this game. Stimpy's Invention was similar, although that game was way too short. If you want to play a co-op platformer that isn't Gunstar Heroes, definitely give Panic on Funkotron a chance. I'd only recommend Stimpy's Invention if you're an R&S fan, by which it's the only good game with that IP IMO.

How do I get this? The rodent does nothing.

Really though, you seem to be missing the point; the emulator is not dead as it's still being actively updated. It's that simple.

9x emulation makes me sick. I'm also not convinced Quicktime (and iTunes) weren't straight-up sabotage and meant to make Windows look and run even shittier.

Great speed there, too, per usual.

>>542383412
Thanks bro, but to counter I rendered it to 4K to preserve the original subpixel CRT shader horseshit as well as I could. I'm sure you could get it smaller at 4K. I can also whip up a gif faster than a webm, and it fits, so why not? I suppose I could run a quick webm converter next time.

Anyone just have a justwerx VirtualBox + softgpu archive for me to download? I could, but I want someone to wipe my ass for once on here. Clearly I need to install it again because everything else blows.

wait a minute what kind of black magic you used to post media above 2048x2048? is it because it see .gif as pictures and not video?

Actually I was just thinking about that I was getting up to do something here; I forgot. You can't upload a >1080p webm here and I've run into that. It'll accept 4K gifs no problem, though. So yeah gif, as bloated as it is, is the best medium for low frame count comparisons like this. Sorry. Gonna keep uploading 4mb files til they fix it lol

>>542385302
>yeah gif, as bloated as it is, is the best medium for low frame count comparisons like this.
bullshit. what a fucking retarded website that has gif uncapped but caps webm to 2040x2040. Niggatry of the highest order. The reason I tried to post the webm is because I can pause webm and compare images without having to wait for the cycle to complete.

>>542385838
Ahh, well, I suppose I could just catbox a webm next time too.

>>542385838
https://files.catbox.moe/lze9cl.webm
Had to save it at a fairly high quality/size to avoid blocking and other compression-slop but I'll try to upload ones like this at 4K, along with a 1080p webm here, in the future.

ZA is out. Which emu does it run best in? Yuzu or Ryujinx?

The more I look at it the less I'm happy with that 4K webm, probably just gonna render it to the max, size be damned next time.

>>542387606
You're probably gonna have to tell us, bro. Ryu/Ryubing is probably the safe bet per usual. Will hitch, though.

>>542387670
did you used handbrake?

>>542388367
Kinda-sorta, my tools are the following:
Screentogif for quickly whipping up gifs.
Shotcut for making/editing webms and mp4s.
File Converter for rightclicking various filetypes and converting/compressing them. It's basically a quick n dirty ffmpeg GUI, just a simpler Handbrake. I can change the rendering settings with it, though, and maximize/increase it.

Oh, and also ShareX for making gifs/webms for emus that don't capture those for you.

I've also found that some things are particularly hard to screenshot, so MSI Afterburner's frame buffer screenshot tool comes in handy for that.

Anyone else using Citron having it never close correctly? When I exit it just freezes and I have to kill the process everytime.

>>542390217
It's a Yuzu thing. I've found closing games out and/or launching another game in the same session to be iffy. Happens with Ryu sometimes too.

>>542384162
Guessing this is DOSBox pure minus the 'sharts?

>>542387606
Since it's a new release, it will need the most recend firmware and I know somes emu may have some problems with the most recent ones.

I'm glad people can finally experience this great fork without being put off by Retroarch. This is as close to "justwerx" for DOS as it gets.

It might have the occasional micro-improvement to core emulation or some sort of autohack database in place. The UX is improved quite a bit regarding controllers, compat list, and per-game settings.

>>542392915
I don't know. Stick to OG Ryujinx, if it doesn't work, try Ryubing/Kenji NX, if it still doesn't then try Eden.

Alright I'm like 5 hours into Xenogears and I still don't understand the combat system actually works

Like, I don't know what booster does, I don't know what attack level is or how to increase it, I don't know if the numbers on the right are even real at all, I don't know why successive attacks/combos are only possible sometimes, I don't know why some attacks are almost guaranteed to miss on some enemies

I'm guessing I should look it up

I'll give the MiSTer community and its redditors one thing: they motivated some excellent game compilations that can be used on PC emulators too. AmigaVision, Play It By Year, MacPack, Neon68K, OneLoad64, ZXtop100, 0mhz, ST game adaptations. All worth looking into if you want some justwerx retro computer packs.
Also this hard drive image for MSX:

>>542394156
I don't know how I played as much Xenogears as I did when I was younger. The combat's a slog, mixes platforming with an absurd random encounter rate, the 2D sprites are low res and aliased as fuck, and the story's depressing. It's a decent piece of art if you want to feel bad, but kinda bad in every other way.

>>542404729
Trying some more Citron works fine with the update on my Deck so it maybe it's an Nvidia issue.

>>542349979
rebuilt with RelWithDebInfo
built lldb
asked stackoverflow+deepseek to make me a slop script
run debug.cmd to collect a backtrace to figure out what it's crashing on
my guess is device initialization/driver features or something
https://files.catbox.moe/6go03n.zip

Both Citron and Ryubing shit itself after title update. Anyone got any ideas what i should do?

>>542395624
Thanks bro it actually answered all my questions except the status text on the right

The wiki doesn't have much in the way of descriptions for android emulators, and none of them are checked as recommended. Are they all bad, or is the wiki just out of date or lacking information in general? I legit can't tell which one I should be using.

>>542418360
It's because no one really cares and the jeets who maintain these pages are too low IQ
If you want something tried and trusted, just go RetroArch.

>>542415083
Damn, CRT shaders are advanced nowadays, they can even replicate low end sets that spent the last 30 years 24/7 on CNN.

>>542420218
Retroarch can play android games now?

>>542420742
I thought you meant emulators on Android. Yeah, Android emulators suck, they are all spyware.

>>542420995
Shit. How about ios? Same shit different name, basically?

>>542421453
Way worse and the only ones that exist target ancient versions.
Thankfully neither platform has games.

>>542421453
There's the Xcode device simulator and that's basically it.

touchHLE is probably the furthest along

>>542421807
>>542421956
Well damn it. I don't want to go pay for an overpriced phone upgrade, but I want to at least play some shit with a friend. There's no simple fix to make one of the android emulators less invasive or spyware-ish?

>>542422319
WSA was the best there was and it's dead.
Runner up would be android studio virtual device.
Do not use Bluestacks/Nox/memu/etc.

>>542422319
honestly just look up on youtube, only indians and mexicans seem to be interested in that

>>542422624
Damn. Android studio sounds like the best option, but I keep seeing people say it's slow or isn't that good in general. I'll give it a shot though, and hopefully I can run apk files through it just fine.

>>542422659
I loathe this idea, but it's probably my second best option regardless.

>>542404729
>Citron boots with the update but graphics breack when entering the city.
I was having that issue with Eden (on Deck, in case it's relevant). Found a post online suggesting going to Graphics > GPU Extensions (or just Extensions if you're going to the menu with the game running) > Slide "Extended Dynamic State" to 0
It's working so far, I managed to get out of the train station without the graphics exploding.
Ryujinx (installed through EmuDeck, in my case) also works out of the box, but the framerate is 15-25 vs Eden's 25-ish to 30.
Dunno if this works with the update and pre-order DLC installed, I haven't found a link for those that I trust enough, yet.

New pokemon leaked but thankfully someone made a /emugen/ on /vp/

>>542296238
Still looking to test Anarchy Reigns online through radmin
It'd be really great to get confirmation on what hoops need to be jumped through for a working lobby so I can maybe put together something portable.

>>542424997
Nice thanks Eden works on my desktop with that setting now and with the update and DLC too.
If you're curious I got the game and update from rutracker.org, dunno if you would consider that trustable.

WSA still works if you sideload it via powershell though, right?

Had to do hacky 120hz mode bullshit, but it works. The computer cores are all super undercooked regarding display-out.

it's so crazy to me that no emulation site has this game in english. it came out in like february but every switch rom site just ignored it, other than romslab, who has it listed for english but is actually still the japanese release

eBay 2nd-hand, hack your Switch too.

>>542440076
why would you emulate the switch version of botw? the wii u version looks identical but emulates much better. but honestly, you shouldn't play that crap in the first place.

>>542450725
Agreed, I'd say Art of Balance is worth emulating more. That game was really fun!

>>542450371
(me)
>price check
Ho-lee shit nevermind, lmao. The only other things I can suggest are hacking your Switch and checking various pirate 'shops' on tinfoil, or ask some generous soul on /hbg/ if they see it. I recall some games being on there that weren't dumped on normal ROM sites.

What causes PCSX2 stutter?
Ryzen 5 5600X
RTX 3060
32GB RAM
The emulator is installed in my SSD, I think

>>542453736
My main PC has almost the same specs. Is it a specific game that's stuttering, or is it stuttering for every PS2 game you tested?

>>542455167
I've noticed it the most in Persona 3 FES

>>542455751
Hmm, are you uisng GSdx or PGS? If it's the latter, that might be your problem. PGS is intensive even on a 3060.

Ah, well, maybe there's no needful to be done. I will say some of the stuff the PC version's doing seems suspect for an NES compatible game.

quick update on anarchy reigns netplay
unfortunately play over a radmin network failed, as far as I can tell it's only really possible to play the game with two PC's on the same physical network.

>>542521758
GFO is supposedly still around, I bet he's Russian or has some pretty tight OPSEC

>>542522972
If it's possible over phys lan it's 98% surely possible to rig up Hamachi or similar. Hate to say it but you're doing it wrong. You can test your setup by having one machine on your cell data and one on your local data. Try stuff til it works.

Beware the Windows and/or router firewall getting in the way.

>>542523880
>If it's possible over phys lan it's 98% surely possible to rig up Hamachi or similar
If you want to take a swing feel free, I had myself and a friend's computer networked through radmin VPN with xenia in the exceptions and pointed at a local XBL server.

We could attempt to connect and both games would register an attempt to connect to a server/a player attempting to connect (meaning at the very least the XBL service is functioning properly) but the connection would never finalize and would eventually time out.

>>542524249
I'm good not sharing a direct network connection with an anon, but just sharing my experience with such things. Something gives.

>>542524523
cool thanks for the input chief

>>542524639
I'm basically saying you're 90% there, probably something you least expect. An IP assigned/appointed to in the settings (your machine, VPN, or his machine) there, a local firewall (on yours or his) before your VPN is in the mix there. Gambatte, anon!

that's also why I suggest two machines you directly control, one cell, one local. That will eliminate anything your idiot friend is doing. I can also vouch of Hamachi working even with the weirdest of setups I've used. Never used radmin.

>>542525357
>>542525182
any config/firewall issue would be taken care of by radmin and we were connected through an XBL service I was running on the radmin IP

like I said, if you want to give it a shot you feel free

>>542526308
Maybe I will, anon. Maybe I will. There's basically no dumb shit I haven't tried on this general. Network, though. Yuck. That shit is straight up "job" territory.

Before I fuck around with this too much; why not the PS3 version? Is networking not easier on Eladstation?

>>542526779
because the PS3 version runs like shit

>>542526880
would RPCS3 not just run it as fast as host? AFAIK next-gen emulators don't slow down under the same CPU/GPU bottlenecks, only the framerate limit of the game.

>>542527109
PS3 port wackiness aside RPCS3 simply runs far far far worse than Xenia
This machine easily gets full speed in Anarchy Reigns on Xenia, the same can't be said for the game on RPCS3

>>542527294
Gotcha. Well, officially decided I'm gonna do said cell+local setup and see how it goes. If it works I'll try to share what I did.

>>542527480
well good luck to you, if it's as simple as using a different VPN that'd be nice

>>542527820
>>542527480
Full disclosure, when I say the game works with two machines on a local network I'm going off of what's been reported to the git/wiki, I don't have two machines to test that personally

>2 otherwise completely useless networking packages weighing in at ~1gb to even get this going
This fucking blows.

Get a better computer, use RPCS3. No way it can be worse than this. I'm still gonna take a crack at it but christ almighty.

It does get better of course but Yuzu's shader comp hacks don't help much in Crossworlds at first. It's quite bad for a couple races.

>>542543398
Yuzu's shader comp hacks are pretty bad in Art of Balance as well. Its Vulkan backend was the only one that cooperated (barely), while the OpenGL backend was so stuttery it made Ryujinx look like it had async shaders by comparison. (Ironically, Art of Balance has the least broken graphics on Yuzu. Ryujinx has broken DOF in the menus.)

>>542543721
Yep, was there (and posted that) that thread. It overall performs a bit better in Ryujinx outside of the DOF issues though. I like the motion controls

>>542543865
I'll have to give its motion controls a try on my Deck. The DS4 I'm using has seen better days, unfortunately. (It still works for basic use, but its accelerometers are worn out in a few places.)

Shinen's one of those tryhard kraut devs that push the system. Fast RMX is a real 'treat' in both Yuzu and Ryujinx. Especially Yuzu, though.

>>542535194
I just decided I was gonna tap when I figured out it needed a ludicrous amount of software and fiddlin to host a private server. I don't like online games at the best of times though I've gotten Hamachi to work, but jesus put all that into your fork or something. That's not even including what you need to publicly host on WAN... what a disaster. Then there's Hamachi and Xenia itself to deal with. No. One should be paid to do this.

I would have tested with the default public server but it never shows XliveAPI initialized for it.

we should have open source lan hosting service in 2025, it's ancient technology

>>542558694
NTA and don't listen to his retarded ass

For Xenia netplay you're not hosting a dedicated server, you're just hosting an XBL service that facilitates matchmaking. 360 games use listen servers, and games that don't use listen servers don't have exposed server code anyone can use to make a real dedicated server.
It's not some big heavy service that requires a ton of CPU cores and network throughput, it's literally just handing off IP's and identifiers to the emulators.

>>542558957
>games that don't use listen servers don't have exposed server code anyone can use to make a real dedicated server.
oh, that sucks, it would just be so cool if we could set up a server that emulates a lan environment that you'd log in and shake hands with the other ips and be able to join rooms

in 2025 every emulator should have:
>resolution upscaling (done)
>enabled cheats.db with 60fps and widescreen cheats for all games (ppsspp has it)
>netplay
>60 fps + BFI for 120hz+ screens with more black frames for every 60hz step

>>542559242
There's more to it than that in XBL's case. For system link games, that exact thing's fine.

>>542558360
pkgs need to be installed, as for iso, they just don't support it officially since iso doesn't dump everything properly, or something like that. There's an issue open for years on their tracker asking for iso support.

>>542558651
BD is slower on average, more data per square inch. Although at 12x it's faster than DVD at 16x. IIRC PS3 could only do 2x since it was very early BD, so about 9MB/s. Xbox DVDs could do 16x, 16.5MB/s (a bit less for dual layer, probably 12-14MB/s).

>>542562151
Makes sense, DVD was nearly a decade old at that point while Blu-Ray was in its infancy.

>>542552405
I don't think a sidegrade to the original is worth buying a new console for. If webm related wasn't an issue RPCS3 DeS would be better by a mile.

>>542271960
It helps with motion blur if you can get it set up right but BFI introduces a whole bunch of other issues.

>>542084093
"Scan Directory" uses the libretro database (https://db.libretro.com) to create playlists.
The "easier" method is to create playlists using manual scan since it won't try to match the database.
You can set the file extensions, console, default core and then you can just refresh it when you add a new game to the directory.

>>542272919
>doesn't increase the likelihood of burn-in like it does on OLED.
It absolutely does.

Why not try the CRT beam shader. It solves a lot of the problems that BFI introduces.
>>542275271

>>542394342
I wouldn't let redditers or mister idiots choose games for me even if you paid me.

>>542567582
Image retention is not burn-in. You can easily trigger that on LCDs with a flashing gray image. On OLED it does permanent damage.

>>542399396
Getting retroarch to work on a CRT is a piece of piss, mate.

>>542567582
>And yet everyone chose LCD over Plasma for some retarded reason.
Plasma was more burn-in prone than OLED, had low resolution for most of its life, was power hungry and heavy. It had some advantages but that's it. Was still worse than CRT all around.

>>542567582
>And yet everyone chose LCD over Plasma for some retarded reason
I had a plasma TV in the mid 00s
The burn-in was really bad

>>542569597
And laggy.
Plasma was laggy for games, I remember even the shittiest LCD was faster than plasma. I think it was due to the image processing

>>542569224
Yes, in most cases. Now try an X68000 shmup that shoots out baroque 256/384/512x256 line resolutions that 15khz TVs typically don't like, then rotate your TV to get the proper vertical scanlines. So you have to flip the CRT on its side which is not trivial in some cases (more ideally you want a VGA monitor or PVM for this) then send a particular super resolution to it in the TV's case and a different super resolution in 120hz mode in the VGA monitor's case, then scale it back out.
see >>542448153
X68000 being a 24khz machine makes things a bit tricky on most CRTs, if you want to use the original line count.

a 240hz lcd with bfi and crt filter will look much better than the most premium crt, that's just undeniably true, better colors, better resolution, faster refresh rate and motion blue tackled

Why the fuck is Ryujinx registering my right joystick as only moving diagonally

>>542571497
I'd love to get more into CRT shaders, but they only look good on HDR displays to me. Darker images are a side-effect of a non-HDR display.

>>542575592
People also just don't adjust the color, brightness, and contrast enough to offset the scanlines. I think I do an okay job...

Tourist here, why wont ryujinx games boot when i attach an update file to a game yet it’s fine when i install a dlc? Is there something i need to do with the update first?

>>542575808
LOL, I sure as hell don't. (Although, I'm a bit retarded and haven't even figured out which mask slots look the best yet.)

>>542575808
In the shaders themselves, I mean, not the display. HDR does enhance it a bit anyway.

>>542575823

damn, the ddr4 armageddon fucked up my plans badly, I already can't find good sticks for sale, I guess I'll have to upgrade to ddr5 sooner than I expected, I guess zen 5 having AVX-512 for RPCS3 is one good news at least

>>542576005
Firmware’s at 20.5 while prod keys at 20.4, is that the issue? I cant find the latest key

honestly hope the AI bubble bursts so badly it brings the US to a new great depression and a civil war, fucking retards, everyone sees it's a bubble and it makes no sense to see facebook/microsoft/google spending a trillion in nvidia chips but there's no one sane to make them stop, and we suffer the consequences with ddr4 being put out of production and electric bills rising up, one day nvidia will announce they don't make consumer gpus anymore and be 100% AI to fuck us over even harder

>>542576581
DDR5's a bit of a curse too
>training
It's funny how we thought we'd be so advanced and past all computing delays, hitching, and loading, but it seems like we only find new ways to shit everything up.
>finally over HDD seek times and throughput bottlenecks with M2 SSDs
>shader compilation stutter and preloading makes all the storage progress moot
>more RAM bandwidth than god with DDR5
>has to train up like it's a BIOS from 1987 if you update the BIOS or significantly fuck with it, or just every now and then because the system deems it necessary
You can change BIOS settings to do this as little as possible but you do risk instability; definitely prime95 your shit.

That's odd, it's the inverse case with DeaconBlood.

>>542577236
where's the 20.5 firmware at

>>542571497
It would be far dimmer than an actual crt.

>>542577296
I wanted to upgrade to ddr5 by 2032 with zen 7 only, but I'm forced to get the 9800x3d now

>>542577994
Surprised AM5 and its boards are projected to last til 7. I was planning on whaling out on an 11800X3D when it drops. Didn't even plan on my board lasting longer. I imagine by 7 some boards will fall off, even with the same slot and memory, though. Just depends on the capabilities and whether the manufacturers roll out BIOS updates for it, I suppose.

>>542579162
idk if the boards will fall off, probably will, but the ram will, because zen 6 will redesign the memory controller, and we're getting ddr5 8000 nowadays, so 6000~6400 will be slow by then, honestly wouldn't be surprised with 9600mhz by zen 7 and EOL ddr5, ddr4 started at 2133 and ended at 3600 jedec

>>542579643
Guess I'll just have to keep an eye on benchmarks and how much my current sticks will hold me back.

>>542580824
Was the DeJap Tales of Phantasia really that far from the 90s standard?

>>542576581
Just buy chink RAM from aliexpress, just werks

>>542571497
lol no

How do you go about extracting audio files from nsp/xci files?

>>542144457
It's a fucking amazing option for XP as well
It actually runs crysis

you can probably do qemu with wsl2 and setup a xp VM and run whichever games you'd want, I think the gpu passthrough on qemu has largely been "solved", it should work, I haven't tried, I wanted to do it with an android VM but haven't gotten around to do so

>>542143596
>FTP
QEMU can emulate a virtual FAT drive from a folder on your pc, there's no need for FTP

qemu3dfx

Now I'm dual-booting my qemu-3dfx setup to see if QT sound is still fucked in XP as well.

>>542588565
This is a good tip, thanks.
https://qemu-project.gitlab.io/qemu/system/images.html#virtual-fat-disk-images
I imagine if I follow this it should work fine.

Yeah, anything else you know about QEMU or see me missing out on, let me know. Definitely learning as I go with this one.

I have the authors binaries for windows, linux, and I run both a Win98 and a WinXP, if anybody wants help or instructions or even testing any games just tell me

>>542589604
Install Wheel of Time in both 98 and XP, the playback on those QT videos is horrible for me and I want to know if it's the same on your machine. It's choppy with sound dropouts in the Win98 guest regardless of QT version, virtual soundcard, virtual GPU, and drivers.

It's bad in other Quicktime games too. Oregon Trail 4's main menu attract video doesn't play back well at all. Sound acceleration and Quicktime video/sound settings don't help either.

>>542589796
>>542589898
ok, I'll test them both once I get home, are they direct x games?

bump

I've been searching around for the last 24 hours or so on answers to this but I can't find shit. I downloaded Ryubing (both stable and canary version), and some other forks of Ryujinx (mirror, and some other ones), but neither seem to work on my PC (Win10, Ryzen 5600x, RX 6600XT, 32GB RAM). Everytime I open the .exe file, it just opens up a CMD prompt and immediately closes. Pic related is what I can get out of the prompt with screen capture milliseconds before it closes.

I have Eden and Citron on my PC and they both work just fine, albeit with some graphical issues here and there. Also, prior to trying out the newer versions of Ryujinx/Ryubing, I had the old official version of Ryujinx on my PC that worked perfectly without any issues. Am I missing a DLL or something? Or a package of some sort? I've searched all over leddit, different board archives, several discords, and nothing. The only place I really haven't searched is through the Ryubing discord, but you need to have a hacked switch in order to receive help from them.

There's an effect that's not being emulated correctly.

>>542589604
maybe we should include those binaries in virtualization pack;
https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Windows_NT_5.x_emulators#Virtualization_Pack

>>542601025
Which emulator?

I heard there was an English translation of Wachenroder but I looked into it and some dick licker only bothered translating the first 30 minutes before giving up and shoving it out for attention.

>>542613085
AI will translate all those games no one cares enough to translate in a few years

>>542613248
Literal translations are bad and lazy. I want something with personality. IE DQ11. That game was a localization masterpiece.

>>542613248
That has been said for years. Where are these ai offline translations?

>>542589081
Oh, I love iconic PC games from the 90s and 2000s.

>>542589081
Daemon tools is the combo breaker here.

What's the total storage you all have in dedicated HDDs or NAS setups for data preservation and emulation?

>>542616569
Only two 10tb wd elements portable.Past 10 tb's i see no point, too much shit and transfer speeds suck on external hdd's anyway.

>>542616569
Seagate, bold choice.

>>542616569
Around 600GB, I only get games I like.

>>542591458
OT, no, WoT yes. That said, QuickTime seems to lean on DirectSound by default, and if you let it. The videos are bad in the player, outside of the game, as well. They play back fine pulled from the same ISO natively in my host.

>WinXP install is ridic-long in QEMU even with WHPX enabled
I should have just grabbed a hard drive image. May still do that.

>>542614857
Why? Swapping CD images from QEMU mid-session doesn't work incredibly well in my experience, and Daemon Tools mounts them just fine with redbook audio.

>>542627420
Meant more in terms of nineties stuff that was on the desktop.

>>542598524
It's a .NET 9 issue regarding CET protection, you can't run programs compiled with it past certain version on Windows 10 but there's a workaround:

Go to Windows Security -> App & browser control -> Exploit protection, and switch to "Program settings" tab
Click "Add program to customize" -> "Choose exact file path", then go to your Ryujinx.exe, and click "Open"
In the newly opened dialog, scroll down to "Hardware-enforced Stack Protection", check "Override system settings", and make sure the toggle is set to "Off"

>>542562719
I really don't care how a game was meant to run. Emulation exists so I can make a 720p, 16:9, 30 fps run at 8K, 21:9 and 120 fps and if I can't then someone has work to do.

>>542628659
>It's a .NET 9 issue regarding CET protection, you can't run programs compiled with it past certain version on Windows 10 but there's a workaround:
God i love modern emulators.

>>542624654
so I've tested WoT on the Win98 VM, the videos are playing but the sound quality is bad and muddy, but I have no visual choppiness
the videos in the player work perfectly, both visuals and sound
now I'm gonna try on XP
>>542627145
huh, it was fast af for me

Anyone got the new pokemon game running? Tried both citron and ryubing (both versions) and no luck. Both crash or dont work after the title drop

>>542629274
Yeah, I'm thinking my machine's just badly set up for the WinXP install. Trying the same one included with the qemu-3dfx Win98 setup I found. I presume you're going from scratch on all this, right?

As for QT, at least vindicated that you are having sound issues with it as well, though not exactly the same results. Could you post your script or setup for your 98 machine? Hell. Just post what you have on the wiki or here like you were suggesting earlier if you want. I fully accept that I'm a dummy and learning as I go with QEMU.

>>542629979
It is never gonna work.The fork devs still haven't made civ 7 work let alone anything new.

>>542630487
>you still have to install Loonix to play Civ7 for free
>you shouldn't because it's a steep downgrade from 6 w/ mods
Wonder if it'll be less shitty years from now. The whole Civs being divorced from leaders thing was totally a way for them to cheap out on assets. Absolute pandemic product. Oh, has to have a little bit of that 2020s social commentary with Tubman as a leader.

>File:86Box and Windows XP.png
Oh no no no no...

>>542629979
I'm not playing it but /vp/ made a general for emulation and they seem to be playing it fine.

>kharovtobi just couldn't include a WinXP qcow2 + script for tards like me
I'm just glad there's someone else here willing to fuck with computer emulation. Someone smarter than me. Teach us, QEMU-sama.

Never look into anyone's socials. This is the qemu3dfx win98 setup guy.

>>542628986
Cool, then enjoy your broken game, because the patch is explicitly for 60fps.

>>542632474
Holy based.

>>542629274
Is QEMU-3dfx compatibility sufficient for Windows XP era? If so, it might be worth adding this to this table when someone has a chance to update it;

https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Virtual_GPU_Adapter_Compatibility_List

>>542633874
lmao I knew that would be the first reply

>>542634124
More importantly, the machine settings and a qcow2 catbox/archive

Is there any reason why, when I try to force 240p on my monitor in retroarch, the menu works fine but booting any game in any core just leads to it switching back to 1024x768 or giving me an extremely small picture? It seemingly doesn't matter what I do with the aspect ratio settings.

>>542637861
You may have per core configs in the way, and/or you need to set fullscreen + your desired resolution, save config manually, and restart sharts.

>>542630084
ok on XP the audio quality is bad both in game and in QT, so I'm at a loss, I expected the same or better on XP lol
QT plays the videos normally on the 98 VM though, I retested just to be sure
here's my QEMU invocation for Win98

already did, check the screenshot

>>542639749
not there
how did it run?

>>542639464
Not everyone uses emulators or virtualization just for 'exclusive' titles. "Modern" Windows won't support every game forever. One day, when that game stops working, you'll thank the folks doing the 'dirty work' to keep classics and old software alive (preserve) using these alternative ways.

>>542639989
it runs great, 60fps at 1080p for the most part, it does have some drops to the 50s as far as I've noticed

>>542640278
>implying there is a future for modern windows
I hope whatever you are doing also works under Linux.

>>542640437
but anon, I am running this from Linux lol

>>542639375
so QEMU-3dfx handled a Direct3D 9 game without issues, pretty cool to see actuallly. Have you tested other Direct3D 9.0c games from that "Virtual GPU Adapter compatibility list" to see how they fare on QEMU-3dfx compared to other virtual GPU adapters that struggle?

https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Virtual_GPU_Adapter_Compatibility_List

>>542639375
Wonder if it's your loonix accel/audio API resulting in a different, but still not ideal QT outcome. Pretty similar to mine for 98 w/ winhost overall. I think I'll just have to accept that QT just doesn't perform as it should under QEMU for whatever reason and Vbox + SoftGPU will have to be kept around for that, or 86box for lower end titles that use QT. QT fucking sucks.

>WinXP hates being shifted from mobo to mobo
Yep, hate being right about that. Tried to be lazy and use this preinstalled HDD image I found from archive.org but I'm gonna have to install it fresh. Thanks for confirming with the configs anyway. If you don't have any opsec blowing data on your hard drive image, that'd be real cool to combine with your configs. Otherwise I'll just install XP myself when I get the time.

>>542638862
>and/or you need to set fullscreen + your desired resolution, save config manually, and restart sharts.
This seems to have done it. Is it normal for everything to look like puke at first? There's no scanlines on the picture so it just looks blurry as shit

>>542643837
Anything before 10 will start throwing some kind of fit if you change the OS drive or mobo, was even worse before Vista.

It really is funny how 98 is far more chill about going from machine to machine. It'll just reinstall drivers. XP? It'll throw up blue screens before reaching Safe Mode, even.

>>542644213
CRTemudrivers? VGA monitor or TV? Or are you just using a digital display? Presuming CRT if 240p's in the mix.

>>542644624
I should have lead with some more details, I guess. Yes, it's a VGA CRT monitor. I have an NVidia GPU if that matters. I've been trying to piece together how to force 240p on this thing since even 480 (the lowest it can normally go) on games I was emulating didn't satisfy me. Every tutorial I've seen leaves out details or has a bunch of essential info hidden behind dead links. I'm a total noob to this stuff. To give you an idea:
>CRTemudrivers
I hadn't even heard of this until you just replied with it.
