Guy who said you can run netplay Nintendo 64 on retroarch, how? I set the check frames to zero but when going on the menu to "host" it just says the core does not support it. Mupen btw on stable retroarch
>>483509352looks like the feature has been disabled since 1.11.0https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/commit/9a3b8f4a0ad7cba88773606c18406acbb7b4f4e1

What's even more infuriating is Scholar was an opportunity to get it right on 8th gen machines but was just a GOTY SKU incompatible with the OG version.

>>483492310I've always liked that trick to display both vertical and 4:3 videos in 16:9, where the black borders are replaced by dynamic borders that are just the content of the video with a zoom and blur, and RetroArch has that, it's called the bigblur.glslp shader... but I really wanted it to have a shadow effect for the 'window' where the content I play is displayed to stand out, making it a little 3D, I just think it looks quite nice and also stops the content I'm playing from blending with both the borders in a way where it looks identical and confuses me a bit... I've found a solution to this...What I did was take a fullscreen screenshot and open it on GIMP, I made the "shadow" using just a simple gradient effect, added it onto RetroArch, not as a shader, but as an overlay, and used this editor to make turn it from a PNG to an overlay: https://valent-in.github.io/retropad-editor/
>>483622161>have to make it for every fucking resolutionThat really should be an option within the shader itself.
>>483629120Indeed, that sucks, and I was surprised that the shader itself... didn't have this option on any of its parameters letting me set something like it. I've made one for a 1366:768 resolution, which most laptops still use, and for 2257:1080, that isn't common, but it's my smartphone's when I use the setting to hide the camera notch, now I have ones for me... but I wish it'd be universal.I think the bigblur.glslp shader in particular can look wonderful for those that enjoy a setup like mine with a smartphone and a controller, all of that negative space is filled, without stretching.
>>483648546>playing a game on your telephone
>>483653273Eh... it works for me. I like handhelds for allowing me to play while I'll comfortably lay in bed, but most of them run Android anyways now, and while some are cheap, I already had an old smartphone laying around, and found a controller that was even cheaper. It's just a matter of cost and convenience really. My main issue was that 4:3 content on a 19.5:9 screen meant either tons of negative space or stretching, and this shader fixed it for me, so I figured I'd share my experience.
>>483654592Not in a TRILLION years will you experience the game.
Fellow anti-denuvoGOD here. How do you keep Sonic Frontiers from crashing on Ryujinx every few minutes?

You could also probably have assumed but I'll mention it anyway that the combo system doesn't work because you have to time each button press and with 8 or 9 frames of input lag added by that dog turd of an emulator it's physically impossible to do it with any kind of consistency.
>>483659973what if the drama was emulated?
Another hoarded arcade ROM leaked and another meltdown from the usual suspects. It's already added in HBMAME so these slithering vermin can 41% themselves for all the good it'll do.
You guys know anything about GBARunner3? The GBA emulator for the DSi? Apparently people are already using it, although I can't find any releases. Do you have to compile some shit from the github yourself?

Try the alternative memory configuration , especially if you're uprezzing or modding. SDL2 audio is less janky on my end. Monkey Ball had sound problems on OpenAL. I presume you have the latest NV drivers. Praying might help too.

lagolation
>>483654981I not only "experience" video games fully, I also beat them and replay them from time to time, I don't get why playing on a smartphone changes that, it's not like I cheat or use save states, if you had me play the titles I usually play on an actual console I'd get to the end just as easily with the stuff I'm familiar with. I'm experiencing the very same video games and I'll discuss them here too.
>>483721978holy based I resulate on-the-go chad
>>483721978You use actual buttons so you're fine. Playing with touch controls is the issue with smartphone gaming.
>>483722212Thanks!>>483724323I used to hate it at first, still do depending on the emulator, but I don't know how, Lemuroid's got a set of overlays that seem to... detect what I want to do better? It's what allows me to play on those occasions where I'm outside waiting and have to kill some time, but don't have a controller, which I keep at home. It helps having a big screen, just takes time getting used to, that's all I suppose.
>>483721978NTA but personally I just can't stand touchscreen controls, I tried playing P3P a few years back on my phone but I couldn't get through it because of the controlsPhone controllers are... cool I guess? But at that point I can just play on a console or PC or whatever
>>483727493The big reason touch screens can off putting for so many is due to the lack of tactile feedback which you naturally get from physical buttons. One way to counteract this is by turning on haptics on your device, which is something that should be used by default. Makes a massive difference really, once you get used to it you just simply cannot go back.
>>483727759Fair, I struggled with touchscreen controls for the longest time too, and really I can only do it up to Genesis, anything with more than 3 buttons can be a bit more complicated and doesn't feel too good. I get your point about the controllers, and I'm still playing on my consoles and PC often, but the controller's good for when I'm lazy enough to not even want to sit down to play, so I lay in bed.>>483728080I get that, it'll never come close to feeling as nice as buttons do, I just appreciate how much better they've gotten over time and how it allows me to play outside on my smartphone which I already carry by default instead of having to take extra devices or controllers with me, just convenient, just a shame that said convenience has a bit of a price. At home a controller's always better still.
lol zoomers
very impressed with PCSX2 performance as of late. SC3 doesn't drop frames at all. If only they fixed the HW renderer in Ridge Racer V. It has one of the worst interlacing implementations I've seen.
>>483692451is angelosa actually a part of mame? if not, I'd swiftly ban him and give happpp a warning for those shitty comments.genuinely appreciate how separated arcade emulation and console emulation communities are from each other.

>>483752189I know, it's just that, while I could tell he was just pulling my leg, I've never seen the picture before, so I wasn't sure if it was a reference to anything I wasn't understanding. Also, I know it's a common point, at least on /vr/ and/v/ really, this take with "You didn't experience/beat it" or something, so I figured I'd counter it even if it wasn't told to me in a very serious manner, just to express myself.Anyways, cheers.

Nothing quite like feeling like a retard trying to make RPCS3 recognize your dlc while you kill time waiting for maint for your mobage to end. At least I'm finally playing the Drakengard series. Am I missing something trying to get the Drakengard 3 DLC to work? I've tried a rap file, using multiple versions of the game and double checking my installations.

please helpIm trying to load my old savestates from just 2 days ago in dolphin, and every time it immediately crashes. I can create a new save state and load it just fine, its in the exact same save location and everything, and I havent updated dolphin at all so there shouldnt be any incompatibility
>>483788015never rely on savestates
Interesting emulation fuckup in this area where it's loading the wrong character models. From a distance it's showing enemies as unarmored, but when you get closer they turn into the armored version. You can't shoot armored enemies with arrows so I'm seeing them, taking shots and blowing my stealth.
>>483788058I know that now but when I tried to do normal saves, the game would crash, hence why I switched to savestates
>>483788118it's probably just lod
>>483788156Then it was bound to mess up to begin with. Which game btw?
>>483780510AX201 if you have any PCI slots. You can find them on AliExpress for $10 if you use coins during their monthly sales.
>>483788406primehack
>>483788118Yeah that looks like LOD, no point in rendering the character models at full quality when you can't see shit on the TV. But some devs just use a generic LOD which can cause confusion at times.
>>483699857https://files.catbox.moe/8dxya6.mp4I don't have any memory or sound issues. It just runs for around 2 or 3 minutes and freezes with no message. Given how issues like this date all the way back to 2022 and you just get told to play the PC version, it's not going to be fixed.

What are your personally favorite GameBoy games?for me it was Kirby's Dream land (because it was my first gb game).
I will soon have a computer that ISN'T an old toaster, meaning I will finally be able to emulate GameCube and Wii games. I haven't played them (or games in general) since about 2006. Mostly excited about playing Smash Melee and MK Double Dash again, but also want to check out Smash Brawl and MK Wii. Maybe even MK 7 if I set up a DS emluator too.But what controller should I go with?>1) Picrel, official Smash Ultimate GameCube controllerImported from Japan via eBay (are these even real? and are the sellers on eBay from Japan legit?). Fairly expensive, at least 50 bongbux.+ 8bitdo adapter>2) Hori controllerApparently licenced by Nintendo, but made by 3rd party caled Hori, comes in different series themes designs, not that I care. Cheaper, only about 30 bongbux.+ 8bitdo adapter>3) PowerA^apparently same deal as Hori but made by 'PowerA' insteadOr should I let it go and just go with a modern controller>4) Official Nintendo Switch Pro controllerWould it work with Windows and Dolphin though, how would I connect it?>5) something in the style of ^, but unofficial controllere.g. something by 8bitdo. I assume this would be easy to use with Windows and Dolphin>6) official Xbox Series controllerAgain, would it work with Windows and Dolphin? Also what are the differences between today's Xbox and Nintendo Switch Pro controllers? Layout looks pretty much the same (unlike Sony stubbornly sticking to its shit d-pad and stick positions). Any reason to pick one over the other?>7) unofficial Xbox series style controlerAgain, e.g. by 8bitdoAgain Windows + Dolphin compatible?I'm really lost, dunno what to go for, pls halp.
>>483934040Tetris, Link's Awakening DX, Shantae, Link's Awakening DX, Pokemon Red, Crystal and Link's Awakening DX.
>>483935670>Shantaedidn't know that existed for gbfor some reason I never enjoyed tetris...maybe because I'm low IQ or something.
>>483934803For Wii games you can use the Switch Pro controller, it will be fine. It's similar enough to the Wii. It will connect to Windows. Supposedly you can connect it to BT but I never got it working. Otherwise connecting it will work fine. You might have to map the controls yourself or use Steam. I haven't used Dolphin lately so not sure if they support it or not.For GC games I feel the need to be autistic and get a GC controller for the authentic feel. Now I have both an official GC controller and some third party, and the third party feels fine. Feels cheaper but not too bad. But if it doesn't bother you, just use the Switch Pro controller for GC games too and save some money.>Also what are the differences between today's Xbox and Nintendo Switch Pro controllers? Layout looks pretty much the same (unlike Sony stubbornly sticking to its shit d-pad and stick positions). Any reason to pick one over the other?The Xbox controller is easier to connect to BT, needs AA batteries, is recognized by games easier out of Steam(but probably won't matter with Dolphin), and feels different just due to the shape. Personally I like the D-Pad better on it. I also prefer easy to replace batteries like AA. There's pretty good rechargeable ones these days that last longer, in terms of life span, than lithium-ion batteries. You can also connect it to a PC via a USB-C cable and it will work without batteries just fine. A little lighter that way too.
>>483934040Pokemon Yellow seeing as it was my first game and the GBC was my first game device. So it's mostly nostalgia. I don't remember having a lot of other games. If I couldn't pick such a big game like Pokemon Yellow I'd probably pick Pocket Bomberman.GameBoy games are really something I need to brush up on. I haven't touched any of the Zelda games yet.
>>483935927It was on gameboy color and its just kind of ok. Not a particularly great game.
>>483936949nah fuck you it's great, and a much better platformer than shit like Super Mario Land that people seem to like for some reason
>>483935927I thought you asked for GB/GBC. They are usually lumped together.
>>483937078I'd say mario land 2 is much more fun. 1 is pretty bare bones but they didn't really have a handle on the game boy yet at the time.

>>483937935dark souls did it for me
>>483937935>"back to my childhood" vibe >and I still want to find something which may give me a similar feeling.Mood, but it's hard.
>>483939473>Mood, but it's hard.what's that?
>>483939843Hard to recapture that vibe. Vibes like that are almost always products of their time. At least for me. Trying to find new games to try helps, but I can't really give any good suggestions. Look at the /v/'s recommend list wiki maybe.
>>483897287This make me wonder, does being an Emulationchad needs a minimum amount of disposable income?I mean, minipcs, htpc, handhelds, phones and repurposed laptops do have a significant cost of money.
