Recently remembered an old pet sim dedicated handheld game I played in the 00s. Anyone know if there's emulators for this I will settle for online options. It's V-Migo I've had this in my mind so long but didn't think I'd find it

Posting this here instead of the homebrew and romhack general since it's currently not up.
I broke the PS1 version of original mode Wizardry 4 wide open for fun. Can spawn any item at any time, teleport anywhere on the current floor, have 9999 HP, -97 AC, both types of magic and infinite spells of all, as well as spawning any monster including the ones that only exist in Arranged mode, and as many of them as you want. The only two things I wasn't able to make gameshark codes for was forcing a shift to a different floor, and forcing an enemy encounter of a specific party. Now I've turned my attention to the Arranged mode, and everything related to Werdna directly is the exact same, so the same codes can be used.
Now when it comes to summoned monsters, that's where things are getting tricky. Instead of the 14 or so digits Original mode uses for summons, Arranged mode uses nearly 50. And they aren't neatly in a row like in Original mode, instead being spread out over RAM. I thought I carefully marked down every changed digit for summoning a LVL 1 Ninja in the first slot, but when I tried it, things were not right at all. In the menu it showed up as an error message, but appeared OK in battle, outside of having 9999 HP. When I went to look at the summon in the menu, that's when the game locked up while trying to find a portrait that doesn't exist. Pic related is what I got. The Ninja isn't supposed to be capable of magic, much less every spell, and the attack values are WAY off. He's supposed to have critical hits, not a breath attack and automatic regen.
This may take a while.

WTF is with RetroArch and never fucking working. I set it up for my wife on her computer and it NEVER fucking works. It never remembers what core to use. It just ignores settings. So I have to manually run the emulator from with in RetroArch to make it work. It's the biggest piece of shit I've ever tried to use.

Does anyone else get weird framepacing with Ares on high refresh rate monitors? It runs like absolute shit if my display isn't set to 60Hz. Says 60 in the status bar, but it clearly is only drawing like a third of the frames. If I set it to 60 it's fine. I get the same problem on a mac with "promotion". I'd write it off if it was just one machine, but both linux PC+mac, with any driver, any core, different monitors too. It's not even a VFR issue, just normal refresh rates.

Yes
It also happens with the bsnes core in in retroarch if you don't set up RA to use VRR
I know a lot of people hate RA for various valid reason but it simply has the absolute best frame pacing no matter the core if you set it up for VRR:
>if nvidia, go in your control panel and set G-Sync to windowed and full screen mode
>in RA go in Settings>Video>Synchronization
>turn VSync off
>turn Sync to exact content framerate on
Frame pacing will be perfect across all cores. Before I did this, I had never seen Castlevania scroll so smoothly no matter the monitor or emulator
I recommend closing and restarting RA after changing these settings just to be sure

was thinking of getting a 3DS, but there's only a small selection of games I'd play for it, namely Bangai-O Spirits, Chลsลjลซ Mecha MG and WarioWare Twisted
am I better off just emulating these? not sure how much the first two utilize the touchscreen

WarioWare Twisted is a GBA game
As far as emulation goes, personally I find emulating the DS/3DS feels like shit on a single screen no matter how you configure it. I have a DSi XL and New 3DS XL and donโ€™t think Iโ€™ll ever switch to emulation.

I've never had this issue with RA and you're not supposed to because it has Dynamic Rate Control which exists specifically to avoid stuff like audio crackling:

I have a hacked Wii and have it hooked up to my big fucking 36 inch CRT TV via composite.

Shit is glorious. Wii and Gamecube are a ton of fun and the custom menus with cover art are fantastic. You can also make it boot to individual Gamecube games with the actual Gamecube logo menu if you're nostalgic for that too.

Other emulation stuff is ok but the controller support kind of sucks for some reason. Only decent controller I have read online is the Wii classic controller but you have to attach it to a Wii nunchuck so it's a bit weird imo.

I would say get the Wii for Gamecube and Wii. Get a MisterPi for everything else.

I did this and haven't looked back, it's the best combo of setups, plus you can use the MisterPi with old school computer cores with a VGA CRT PC monitor if you're into that too, and swap Mister config files on the fly easily.

If you use playnite you can put all your games in one library and set the games to launch a specific core. I've only ever used RA launched through playnite

when you like settings you're supposed to set an override for whether it want it to be remembered for the game, core or everywhere. Override system is good when you get used to it

I never played this before. It's pretty cool. I don't know how I got it mapped on a controller, but I did and it works pretty good.

I don't know if I'll keep playing cause it's so hard to find time, but man it was worth checking out DOS on Retroarch is so good. It's so nice to just have it there and not need any dedicated shit. I played AitD before on it and that went without issues

Honestly, I just want to disconnect once in awhile. I spend so much on the PC, and it would be nice to have something I keep plugged into a TV where I can just chode out once in awhile without being reminded of Bill Gates for 30 minutes. Doesn't hurt that it's dirt cheap, small enough to toss in a backpack when I go on a trip and has native compatibility with GCN games either.

I genuinely enjoy RetroArch though, it's what I've been using for years and most of the issues I've had with it weren't too much of a hassle to solve, and the good parts make up for the bad ones in my eyes, it's just for the Intellivision that I can't seem to make it work on Android no matter what I try, BIOS is all good, the core seems to be alright, but when starting up it always gives me a "Intellivision Halted" error for some reason, and then I have no idea what to do. I just wish I could play the ROMs without issues...

He's fine with the concept, he just doesn't care enough about it to do it himself. He's not like stenzek where he's autistic about every single aspect of the emulator. He just cares about the cores and thats pretty much it.

Has anyone here used the Windowcast core in Retroarch? It's the thing that lets you apply shaders to other Windows shit, like games, standalone emulators, etc. I've tried like 3 times to figure out how it works but I'm too retarded and it's not unintuitive. How the fuck does it work?

Retroarch on Windows 10 IoT LTSC is simply the smoothest experience there is once properly configured, even compared to standalone emulation. What sorcery is this?

As a Linux nerd this is tough to admit. I've tinkered for months on this. But somehow the Linux drivers slightly fall short in the case of emulation. The latency and frametime is slighty (1-2ms) better on windows too. Only the most autistic will notice or care, but there you have it.

> Retro gaming means platforms launched in 2001 and earlier, and official game titles for those platforms released no later than December 2007 (homebrew console games made after this date will be permitted). The Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo Game Boy Advance, and Sony PlayStation 2 will now be considered "retro".

The word you're looking for is old or outdated
Yes, it's a little bit outdated to play Skyrim, GTA V and Minecraft on a PS3. It doesn't get the latest updates, like a Windows 7 PC or iPad 5.
But its games do not differ meaningfully from today's game so there is no retrogaming when playing PS3 games
Meanwhile the SNES was already retro in 2001 not because it was old but because of the unique retro experiences it offered since technology had changed so much.
And that's the way of technology. WWI airplanes were retro in WWII but cold war airplanes remain modern 45 years later.

No, SNES was retro in 2001 because of the rapid advancements made after its release. The same reason PSX was retro in 2006.
There hasn't been a significant enough jump since then to justify considering it "retro". It's been the same shit for almost 20 years.

PS3 is "early modern". There's a huge difference between it and previous Gen consoles, which is why it will take a while before it can be considered "retro".

All these "discussions" of what is considered retro and what is not is always fucking funny to me. Bend over backwards explanations that make no sense. In reality, it's has nothing to do with the definition of retro itself, but to gatekeep the ps3/360/wii kids from flooding this place, which I'm all for but let's not use the retro definition as an excuse.

The problem is, there isn't another "excuse". The minute you define retro using a sliding scale, it's over. You have to stick to your guns and say "retro is up to X year", or the floodgates will inevitably open. The problem is that retro is a very loose term, but on this board it is applied (at least for most of us) in the same way we define the medieval period or the romantic period or any other era in history; 2025 isn't going to become "medieval" in 1000 years, just like the PS5 shouldn't become "retro" due purely to the passing of time. Here again though, due to retro being an umbrella term for anything old, it gives people who don't actually care about classic games and hardware the opportunity to say, "but now my childhood is retro too, lol!".

In essence, the issue this board has is being called /vr/ to begin with. It should be something like "/cvg/ - Classic Video Games", with discussion adhering solely to a period of time that is inherently different on a technological and cultural basis from what emerged in the mid to late 2000s and beyond. IMO, retro (or in this case, classic) should be limited to hardware produced in 2002 or earlier, and games released in 2006 or earlier. No exceptions. This would be the only way to save the board, but unfortunately, moderation is dead set on allowing /vr/ to turn into the /v/ reruns board, and that is almost certainly what it is destined to become.

All that really matters is what the board rules say. And they currently say they're not.

These emulators are all trying to be "highly accurate" thus become troon magnets. White men don't care about academic topics like cycle accuracy, pixel perfection or fancy "features" like runahead. If they do they are probably a closet homosexual or worse.

I love RetroArch, but sometimes it pisses me off, mostly when it decides to just not work for no apparent reason.

I found some patches for SoulCalibur III that disable shadows and sun effects, now I can run the NTSC version on a phone with Dimensity 700. Runs at full speed most of the time, more so than in the video when I'm not recording. The video is 30 FPS for better quality. It should run about as well on comparable chipsets like Snapdragon 685 or Helio G99: https://odysee.com/sc3_on_dimensity_700:b

Possibly but was not the intention. The idea is that white males have a more robust priority identification matrix, so that they do not fixate on technical details that make no practical difference. Whereas part of the troon malfunction is a general failure at such innate masculine characteristics, followed by a compensatory complex which seeks out mastery and false validation in highly abstract and inconsequential matters.

Is either Duckstation or Retroarch better for ps1 games? I've hacked my switch and just enjoy playing my old favorites while at work. I currently have retroarch installed on it, but I have duckstation on my PC. I need to decide on one so for ease of swapping save files between switch and pc for weekend play.

swanstation core is a duckstation fork that isn't maintained as regularly as duckstation, pcsx rearmed core is great for low power machines, I dunno anything about beetle psx hw core but I've heard its viable. I'd go with duckstation
