I spit on the face of these greedy nip faggots. No I don't have my entire life to wait while you drip feed NES roms and PS1 isos for the umpteenth time. I'll stick to my emulators on Switch, Xbox, PC and more. Eat my ass, HAMSTER fags

>>556408559Basically nothing is going to be more efficient or as random as just sampling a pre-generated noise texture. Real-time noise generation should be a last resort for if you need parameterized noise.
>>556411172best girl
>>556411603>geforce fx 5200 cardCool! Glad you're getting the real deal instead of paying killjew 90 bucks.
Is there a switch emulator that can run tears of the kingdom well atm? The last time I checked a year ago they all ran like shit.
Is pcem or 86box ever going to support emulation of early geforce cards?
do you think in 2040 they'll be writing shaders to recreate that rtx raytracing on ai framegen look of the 20s?
>>556421013Probably not.
>>556421013Doubtful, at least in the near future. Nvidia cards have close to fuck all documentation, which is what they rely on for emulation. Pretty much the closest we have is the bits that Xemu emulates of the Xbox's GPU at a low level, and that card is something between a Geforce 3 and 4, which is waaaaaaay out of scope for 86Box. They've stated there's efforts underway to emulate the Riva TNT, which is a much earlier card, and even if they ever manage it, it'll likely be where they'll stop for a good while just out of performance considerations.
>>556421013what exactly are you expecting to achieve by emulating them that wouldn't be accomplished by just directly translating their dx7 or whatever calls to a modern graphics api?
>>556420960Ryujinx with a full shader cache IIRC. I've heard Yuzu is a crapshoot when it comes to TOTK.
>>556421759>They've stated there's efforts underway to emulate the Riva TNTI remember when mooch tried to do it lmao
>>556422898Glide wrappers exist and yet pcem emulates voodoo cards at low level
>>556411172turns out citra just werks, but w/e
>>556432403does it really tho, or is it just internally doing exactly what the wrappers do? maybe a shader for that "authentic voodoo look"
You know this manual is 80s as fuck when the sprites have been modified to appear better than they do ingame.
>>556433141Their voodoo code emulates PCI r/w so I assume it's all low level
you can emulate the game, but you can't emulate... the experience
Guys, I wanna emulate tears of the kingdom because I bought the game on switch sometime ago and it literally can't run, my switch is too old, the environment can't load property But I was wondering how do I go about using gyro for puzzles if my xbox controller doesn't have it? And also what emulator do you guys recommend?
So what crt shader do you guys use?
>>556449740I like to stack all of them using presetsyou know, like a crt displaying a crt displaying a crt
should I use the mesen core or the nestopia core in retroarch?
It was about that time I knew that my VHS shader was on the right track
Is anyone working on a solution for the NSO gamecube controllers to work on PC?
>>556405793>i was under the impression linux mint was just a better ubuntuIt is.>i was also under the impression that debian is a less bloated, more snappy ubuntuIt is, but it is much MUCH slower to add packages and receive updates, which also make it very stable. Good for servers but wouldn't recommend for desktops.
>>556449740depends on the gameI made my own for the PS2
>>556455279mesen probably
Is the Switch a good emulation station? a friend has no more use for his and asked me if i wanted it.Apparently it has CFW, how easy is it to run emulators and dump roms into it?
>>556482682No and no one tests anything on this 2015 Nvidia shield tablet running a weird OS

>>556408038Rendering artifact from using resulation scaling.For Eden:> [fs/core] Load external content without NAND install (#2862)Thank god, lugging around an extra 70GB of NCAs extracted from update NSPs always felt like such a drag. Plus, the emulator loads much faster now (my home partition is on a disk raid, bite me).But there's a small bug: XCI's that had updates bundled with them will create an update list showing multiple entries named after the highest version of an update you have. Like XCX will show two entries for 1.02 when I have the 1.02 update NSP in the configured update folder and when I move that elsewhere the second 1.02 entry becomes 1.01. But by default the actual highest update gets selected so it shouldn't confuse tards too much.
Has anybody tried rpcs3 mouse motion controls? Seems like a pretty big deal for stuff like folklore.
>>556433141The pcem voodoo emulation code was licensed from Aaron Giles which was used in MAME
>crack open a shader>it's taking 65 texture samples to generate a few pixels of 1d blurthey really just copy/paste from shadertoy without understanding what it is they're doing, huh?
Do you need a wiimote for wii motion games? I tried to play pokepark with my gamesaar cyclone 2 controller, but it's impossible.
>>556513714>Do you need a wiimote for wii motion games?Absolutely not. Some games such as the Mario Galaxy and Sonic Knight games have controller only mods.
>>556511953Figures. What shader?
emu
>>556513714Depends on the game, plenty of games on the wii (iirc mario galaxy 2 in particular) work with normal controls and have 'shake' bound to something different because the devs playtested it with this motherfucker and didn't want to shake their arms around. I don't know what percentile it would be but it's always worth a try.unrelated I'm giving disgaea 1 a break after getting most of the way through it. already beat ff12 and loved it, ff10 felt like it was for small children but I'm still going to play through it for the story and voice acting at some point. Tried ff7 and the item leveling shit is utterly unforgivable, then I found out they also wrote out half the characters after disc 1 and noped out even though I'll finish it eventually.RPG games on the PS2 with a robust leveling system?
>>556526152Not strictly a JRPG, nor is it on the PS2, but I've been having tons of fun with Beyond Oasis. (And this is coming from someone who primarily plays platformers LOL.)
>>556449740Lottes is the best. It can be easily configured to imitate any kind of crt. From a consumer set, to a broadcast monitor, to an arcade monitor and everything in between.WHen i'm emulating on my actual CRT i use GTU50 because it can adjust the bandwidth on the horizontal and vertical axis' independantly.
>>556455279Mesen definitely.>>556482682Not really no. Can't do anything above 4th generation.
>>556526127gen
>>556526574your reply was very frustrating but I'm happy you are having fun lolTook a look at the recommendations mirahaze for /v/ and most of the strategy games looked exceptionally lame in the gameplay videos I watched except for Drakengard. What I wasn't expecting was for Drakengard to be exactly the game that Skyward Sword was advertised as. Very repetitive and very grindy so far (in a good way) and the secrets are fun to find and the flying is spectacular. Not quite an RPG as much as a single character dynasty warriors game. I'm having a blast and so is my dragon who keeps trying to talk down my character from making irrational decisions and neglecting the campaign to basically go off and do what would be sidequests in any other game, causing problems as people die because I didn't move fast enough lol my guy is just so hate filled and I love him.
>>556552309>Drakengard to be exactly the game that Skyward Sword was advertised as.What? In which universe Skyward Sword had been advertised as fucking Drakengard?
>>556460913>Good for servers but wouldn't recommend for desktops.duly noted>>556482682a used wii is the best emulation station>easiest to install homebrew on>composite video for easy 240p or 480i on a TV CRT>emulators run surprisingly well all aroundIf you want a cheap handheld check out aliexpress and youll get them for cheap, under 100€ you can emulate most of 5th gen and probably some 6th gen
>>5565529981:08 to 1:11 "Link takes flight to find her, WHEREVER she may be" (advertising that the loftwing would be used wherever creatively without actually saying it so they can't be sued for false advertising)1:13 to 1:20 "During his adventure, Link can FREELY explore the skys by riding on this colossal bird, a loftwing!"https://youtu.be/EAPldVCRo-gThen at the e3 demo literally all they showed off was the bird race like that was going to be the biggest part of the game. Then as soon as you get done with that bird race you totally drop loftwings from the plot for 8 to 12ish hours except as a means of travelling the very empty hub with 2 islands for less than a minute between trips, basically just becoming setdressing until you do a short mission in a tornado that takes less than 20 minutes and then it goes back to being setdressing for the rest of the game besides, I think, one whole minigame race. There's a whole section of the game, probably the first hour, dedicated to talking to Zelda and getting this parachute and landing on this spot and it's very very obvious from that tutorial that the parachute was supposed to be a momentum based item and not just 'you press this before you hit the ground after using your loftwing for fast travel and if you don't press the button we just press it for you and then sink down in a straight line.'The implication was that our mount wasn't going to be Epona this game, it was going to be a fucking loftwing which was sick. Drakengard has a real flying mount for combat has the sudden boost when you press X as when you shook both the wiimote and the nunchuck, has a knight with a sword who leaps off the dragon and fights with a fancy moveset which is exactly what I expected from Skyward Sword given how it was advertised (except for the hordes of enemies thing.)Coincidentally I'm also protecting a girl who has the goddess spirit in her just like in Skyward Sword as well.
Any website to keep track of my played games? Like MAL but for retro games
imagine going back in time to 1992 with a usb stick full of modern emulation
>millions of pages written on how ntsc artifacts apply to crt picture quality>nothing on how it affects vhs recordings
>>556563960Good luck finding an usb port in 1992.
>>556565458VHS recordings are oddly good at dedithering. In fact, an opening was what lead me to play both Disney's Animated Storybook of Hunchback and 5 Topsy Turvy Games.
>>556565927BTW, the latter has a Gameboy port, but I'm not touching anything Tiertex makes LMAO.
>>556565458I'd imagine they're affected similarly since ultimately it's an issue with the signal and the decoders. Which leads to the question, do you get a double NTSC effect when watching a VHS recording of a NTSC broadcast?Also I wonder how VHS handled 240p? I know some freaks used to run their consoles through a VHS recorder and record their play. I'd assume everything just go recorded as interlaced video.

>>556579608mesen memory cards can be saved and transfered across computers?
>>556511953This has been ongoing for a whileBack in the day of WC3, you would have preset blobs of scripting. A few people would bother to learn the actual syntax and raw dog it, but mehAnd now you got visual pipeline tools to setup shader stacks. They work, elegantly, but if you want enough moving parts, at some point you need to avoid using prefabs in order to avoid cumulative copy paste.

>>556630951you are not meant to see the raw pixelsShigeru Miyamoto acknowledged that CRTs blend the pixels together, and the Lion King dev also said the raw pixels look disgusting on a LCD and are probably the reason many people cant look at retro games fondly in modern dayshttps://youtu.be/kILeyo1iv0A?si=Yq4llULhae_FgrEv&t=92"You can actually see every single pixel which means it looks nothing like it did back in the 90s"

You haven't hit real shader purism until you load up the gameboy advance with a shader that makes the colors less vibrant.
The list of recommended games are fucking gone what happened?https://vsrecommendedgames.miraheze.org/wiki/PlayStationhttps://vsrecommendedgames.miraheze.org/wiki/PlayStation_2
>>556633885fuck that pro-censor lib wiki
>>556631225actually a pvm with an rgb signal looks just as sharp as a modern monitor, even a consumer television with component or s-video has virtually no blurthe blur you're referring to is mostly unrelated to crt technology and almost entirely a byproduct of composite ntsc video signals
>>556633885It looks like some tranny decided to split the list by genres
>>556634902A PVM is not the regular consumer hardware videogames were being built forThey were being built for composite, or even RF signals and regular consumer TV setsThat said, any CRT will usually do better than an LCD with no shaders, its a matter of taste at some point.
>>556631225This. CRT display was basically a hardware pixel shader. Big blobs of pixels in a single color were displayed as a quasi- texture, rough lines looked more smooth.The most simple pixel shader featuring translucent scanlines is far from the real hardware, but it makes it closer to the original look than anything else.Take a close look at the pic related, left side with enabled shader, right doesn't.
>>556635791you said crts but it's not crts, it's signalsyou get most of the same effects using a composite capture card
>>556633885You will own nothing and be miserable.
>>556636714its bothCRTs dont have a fixed pixel count so it doesnt quite look like pixelsEven in a computer CRT through VGA, if you set a PC game resolution like 1024x768 in a 21" monitor it will look way better than what you'd expect, edges get naturally smoothed just on the basis that its a CRT and the pixel accuracy isnt quite perfect, or maybe the fact that theres no predefined pixel count
>>556637202I own 458 shotguns.
>>556637508Shotguns don't die for you. Brothers do. Do you have 458 brothers willing to mag-dump their lives
>>556637305>it doesnt quite look like pixelsIt looks like pixels, but the difference in display technology makes it extremely hard to spot individual "pixels" without pressing eye to the surface of the screen. First, pixels are dots with size depending on resolution and screen size, not 100% tiny sharp rectangles of the same color.Second, there's "noise" created by scanlines (visible but hard to focus the sight on) and aperture grille (barely visible).

>>556642682But if you take away those sports games the PS2 still has a decent library.
>>556632663That's a pretty basic and essential feature. It even comes as a standard option in the UI in most emulators.

>>556673806are you using the slang shaders and not the glsl ones? a lot of shaders are just plain broken too, usually shoddy ports from other platforms using functions that don't work as expected with modern graphics apis

>>556685252Does any emulator? I see Ryubing has FSR1, which is only a sharpening filter.
>>556663803Sounds like you have your controller plugged into the wrong port, when I have this issue on my playstation 2 it's because I'm using the player 2 controller and not the player 1 controller. Easy to get confused if they're the same color and you have long wires. Plenty of games work on the main menu because both players can control the menu but because you're in singleplayer mode it's only looking for inputs from controller 1, in multiplayer mode I bet controller 2 would be enabled. Plus some games that are singleplayer only ever take inputs from slot 1.

where do i look up the various ways to play pirated games on a PS2? Do i have to go for the fat one or is the slim one okay now?would a PS3 be worth it for playing PS2 games on a CRT?
what a piece of shit
>>556726751What's crazy is they'll store gigs and gigs and gigs of prior edits on any wiki site. thankfully we can just revert to an older saner version of the wiki>>556726056>>556633885I was looking at this just yesterday thinking "wtf why is this dogshit site in the OP?" since I'm new to these generals.
>>556726389lmao that wiki/guy is peak reddit-tier "woke", when you posts something even slightly "controversial" you got insta-blocked;https://vsrecommendedgames.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Ahayriuse/improve emugen wiki instead;https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/List_of_notable_portsbecause: no forced neutrality-speak, no removing "factual but controversial" shit, direct language welcome;https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Getting_involved#:~:text=Censorship%20and%20restriction
>>556727113>where do i look up the various ways to play pirated games on a PS2?OPL>Do i have to go for the fat one or is the slim one okay now?Anything is ok, although you can use the internal HDD on a FAT. Slims work better if you use one of these memory card slot accessories (SD2PSX/MX4SIO) or ethernet, since the USB port is slow and there's no FireWire.>would a PS3 be worth it for playing PS2 games on a CRT?Only early FATs are 100% backwards compatible and these are a timebomb, so I would avoid them.
>>556727219what are you talking about, it's not in OPour wiki is not related to that
>>556727341>/v/ wiki originally made for posting no-no words and controversial claims>new owner gets mad when people do thatThis retard must've started hitting tranny pills or something
why don't you wikifags just grab the last good version of each console's page and put it on emugenjust grab something from a year or 2 ago, it's not like the fucking ps1 got any new games
>>556727630Oh excuse me the website just happens to be named "v's recommended games" and has separate charts for 8v and 4v
>>556728467You seem to be confused.Our only wiki is https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Main_PageThat /v/'s Recommended from mirahaze is a backup of a /v/ wiki which is now dead., but the owner seems to have trooned out and is a double chan user now.
>>556728302Yeah, I feel the same way, especially for the pages I created/edited myself. Maybe someday I could, but I'm not sure exactly how to go about it yet. Those pages would need to tie into actual emulation aspects somehow to fit the wiki's focus, it's not really set up for pure "recommended games" lists like the /v/ one.my contribs on the old wiki before the block ("vandalism" lol, they are not even trying bro):https://vsrecommendedgames.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Ahayri?target=Ahayri&offset=&limit=500
>>556728302Not a bad idea, but I don't have page creating rights
>>556721858Even the disks I actually own, I will never ever bother ripping.
>>556729159Was meant for >>556722425
>>556729085I mean, there's plenty of articles on emugen wiki that are not exactly emulation related, at least a page for each console with the old recommended list wouldn't hurt.How hard is to import the images? The HTML stuff is probably drag and drop since both are mediawiki
Are no-intro and redump sets doomed to be forever incomplete?
>>556729727many are complete already if you ignore shit like proto and bootleg stuff
>>556729536Yeah, starting with a category page or a simple redirection/portal guide might be the first step, not sure;https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Controllers#:~:text=For%20lists%20of%20console%20games%20that%20support%20less%20used%20input%20peripherals%20/%20controller%20features%20seeIt's a lot of work though; it'd need some passionate people. We already have solid pages like these, but they don't get many contributors:https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/List_of_notable_portshttps://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Game_engine_recreations_and_source_portshttps://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Preservation_projects#Private_game_servershttps://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Homebrew_and_ROM_hacks
>>556728996you seem confusedI want to play video games. I already have an emulatorWhere in this list of "frequently asked questions" is the #1 most asked question "what should I play"?Why is the backup of of a dead /v/ wiki run which is currently run by a tranny allowed to look like(the next post I will make replying to this one)
>>556730526thisI went into the page history for the old version of the gigantic list and I could find maybe 20ish strategy games. I have more amazing strategy games for the ps2 on the shelf right next to me but I'm looking for an actual catalog with descriptions by genre. You're telling me no 4chan emulation autist has done this, or at least you are implying that, and I do not believe you.
>>556730526>Where in this list of "frequently asked questions" is the #1 most asked question "what should I play"?Yeah, great idea, that could literally be the "category page or simple redirection/portal guide" for recommended games on the Emugen wiki.
>>556730526>>556730723what's your ASD level
>>556730938>erm actually you don't need to know what games are what before you download a 4 terabyte collection of games on the console with 4400 games??? What drives people to think this way? You know that you can't find videos older than a year on youtube anymore unless you know the exact title of the video, right? It just feeds you your recommended after five results. I'm not going through 4300 games I don't want to play right now first just to hopefully get to the game I might want to play just because of the enshittification of the internet. I will instead come here and complain and make it your problem for acting like a trannynigger. Call me autistic all you like.>>556730792I hope this isn't sarcasm because there isn't anything named 'portal' 'redirect' or 'category' (besides 'browse' which leads me to this empty ass page). It would certainly be nice to have a big glowing button that says 'click here to know what the games are' yes.
notice it's a phone screenshot
>>556731659notice how you are brown. It's called cropping, sweaty. We have these tools on linux. Go take your trannymeds.
>>556727496>one of these memory card slot accessories (SD2PSX/MX4SIO) or ethernetso you can load SD cards from a memory card now and load game that way? and also load games from ethernet? i had no idea>these are a timebomb, so I would avoid them.no PS3 for me then
>>556732142>so you can load SD cards from a memory card now and load game that way? and also load games from ethernet? i had no ideayep, MX4SIO is the barebones one, it's essentially just a SD to memory card slot conversor, everything else is handled by the homebrew. SD2PSX/PSxMemCard is more complex, has more features (like memory card support) and is faster/more accurate.As for ethernet, you can use SMBv1 or NBD (less overhead) hosted on anything on your network. Some people use small routers with USB/SD slots too.
>>556732103>notice how you are brown.>, sweaty.>Go take your trannymeds.wow, a racist, trannieshit-aware and a girl/femboy? based af, sign me up baby, we can hang whenever you want. I'm hairy and muscular as fuck btw, not one of those chubby smelly nerdy ones
>>556729536>>556730423I'll get the ball rolling with a PS1 page, but which revision? First one after he fixed images from the previous wiki import, the one screenshots were added, most recent before the category thing/2x4chan or something else?https://vsrecommendedgames.miraheze.org/wiki/PlayStation?oldid=31978https://vsrecommendedgames.miraheze.org/wiki/PlayStation?oldid=37981https://vsrecommendedgames.miraheze.org/wiki/PlayStation?oldid=56682
>>556733187you shouldn't admit your type on 4chan. It's the most heavily monitored site around and you are not at all anonymous no matter how many proxies you put yourself behind because word choice and writing style identifies everyone easily if you filter for a venn diagram of who cares about what by interests and what interests overlap with eachother. That has nothing to do with me but if you are known for contributing intelligent software you've just inadvertently made yourself an intelligence asset given that anyone who can track your identity offsite by writing style could control you by putting you in a room with a racist trannieshit-aware girl/femboy handler.
this is a bit, right

>>556746168>All thsoe divers getting the death blowjob
>>556733816Ok I created the page based on 31978https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/PlayStation_gamesIf anyone knows how to upload files in a bulk, that would be helpful. I made a script but it already shat itself. I can also upload a zip if anyone is willing to do it.Btw why did the svg fuck up like this?https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/File:PlayStation_logo.svg
>>556729727Yeah, but mostly because of hoarders. Like, e-reader cards. All of them are dumped and datted but like two or three of them will be hoarded forever so they might as well not be dumped.
emulation jerky
>>556747326You can just link to the miraheze files (and use igdb or mobygames for future images). Don't upload a thousand images.
>>556751417Are you the wiki owner? I reworked my script so it works fine now if I set some limits, but I could just external link if you wish
>>556751845It's about 200 images btw, ~30MB. That's just for PS1 ofc
just dropped off a full romset of 8 year old emulators on the island, they're in the basement, let me know if you need more
are win95/win98 games emulation?
>>556754498kinda
>buy intel they said>intel gpus are the futurei say do not fall for the low price not only are these gpus trash with several errors and setbacks not worth the wait intel also have completely abandon them and do not have any trust in them so why should anybodyhttps://www.phoronix.com/news/Intel-OSS-Projects-Ended-2025
>>556754681KEK, I'd love to see how UserBenchmark will twist this narrative,
>>556754294Why would anyone want an 8 year old emulator?
>>556681489>AI upscalingwhy
>>556755314High res booba.
>>556751845Yeah, hold off on making any more pages, I'll look into adding another wiki as a subdomain. Might have to update some shit.
>>556726751wish the ps2 page would get fixed too
>>556756231I would do this but I don't have a proxy right now and I don't feel like having a bunch of trannies ddos me for pointing out they deleted the whole wiki
>>556756227
>>556687830i dont see them ever implementing new forms of aa on their emulators. only dolphin has managed to do some but only for old stuff not the newer forms of aa. i am no developer myself so i have no idea how hard it is to tackle something like that but i would assume it is too difficult.
>>556756227based
oh yeah, now we're starting to look crusty
what are some modern "pixel art" games that actually look good in a CRT or with CRT shaders?>Sonic Mania (if only because it recycles assets from 90's 2D sonic games)
>>556762671>epsxe>eps>epstein
>>556762959epsxe files are real
I still can't wrap my head around the fact that he was one of us.
>met up with moot like once>le 4chan was controlled by epstein narrative>while ghislaine was a powermod on reddit
>>556761292Practically all of them
>>556763456Whoever says he "controlled" 4chan is retarded, but he did share 4chan threads with people on his emails and /pol/ was also created a day after he met with moot, probably on his suggestion.
>>556760695>lofi shaderkino
>>556763791nah, most look like shit because the average dev either went with mixel shit or did some atrocious thing with less pixels than atari or just downscaled some hires art
>>556764260Yeah some of them are so low res that it would be meaningless.
>>556764260Most modern "pixel" games are more like cutouts of pixel art moving around a monitor resolution grid. Even look at the retro modes on games like Mario Maker, moving sprites aren't aligned to the backgrounds. The modern audience doesn't care that Mario is standing on a half pixel, they just want their smooth animations.

>>556717019Nigga, just go into the windows thread on /g/ and learn how to install and activate Windows 10 IoT LTSC 2021 for free. You get security updates from MS until 2032
>>556765153I'd just do a windows 11 enterprise debloated install, it's about as good as you're going to get out of modern windows
I wish ra would make it so you could add help descriptions to shader parameters that you can press select and read just like with ra's built-in menu optionsseems so obvious and yet here we are, trying to guess wtf the dev meant with his shit variable names
>>556765516no upsides in using 11 over 10, just downsides
>>556667497The blarg shaders in that core cause weird issues because genesis games run at all sorts of different resolutions, and the built in blarg shaders don't take this into account (they need specific fixed resolutions to work) and so they end up fucking up the display output.
>>556671169Because there is about 5000 arcade games that all run on different hardware, and all require different amounts of power to emulate.Just use FB Neo, if the game doesn't work in that, then use MAME.>>556671476Not anymore. Run ahead works in the mame core in RA now so you're better off using it in RA.
>>556678347Should've bought a dog like the man on the report said.
>>556714037It's pointless and wastes time.
>>556760695Honestly that's not far off how NES games actually used to look.Just tone down those scanlines and that'll basically be perfect. (scanlines weren't that pronounced on shadow/slot mask CRT's running via RF or Composite.)
>>556761292Iconoclasts looks good.>>556763791Most of em look shite.

>>556765061Do you use Temple OS?

>>556762959You just connected two very dangerous dots, anon. Watch your back.
>>556756227https://vsrecommendedgames.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Main_PageI'll try to figure out linking images so they don't all have to be reuploaded.
>>556786127>>556783730Actually as the anon that asked about chd last night, in general sizes are not smaller than 7z-ed games, and in fact, it often can be a few hundred of mbs bigger. If I don't care about having them runnable all the time, might as well just leave them as 7zs. Though if I just extract one game for the PS2, and then leave that and the 7z at the same time, maybe it is basically the same as having them all chd-ed. But only because I don't have that many games, just a few dozen.
Eden finally got a Grid view.Better several years late than never ever.https://git.eden-emu.dev/eden-emu/eden/commit/b9e052b3a7b9d3f265c16e9c5dacb68473b2bd4chttps://git.eden-emu.dev/eden-emu/eden/commit/ca9f2d43beeb03ca2127a21ef34ead9f497bcb03

you wouldn't emulate a video game
>>556776497:)
>>556800461What's the point? You could already emulate the HOME Menu for launching NSP eShop games, switch back and forth between the menu and games, and access other HOME Menu sections just fine.The only thing missing is support for inserted cartridge games (.XCI), but those never appeared in the actual HOME Menu on real hardware anyway. So why bother with a grid view?
>>556633885Stormwatch and Yeahwhatever are worthless shitkids gatekeeping like their lives depend on it and turning everything into cancer and toxic environment.

Not sure if this is the best place to ask but:Is there a best handheld emu box? Steam deck? Some chinesium machine I can buy off aliexpress? Something else?

damn i really liked the first voice actor.
>>556760695It would look like this only if you had a really shitty TV. I mean a wooden potato tier dying TV from USSR. OP pic is a bit sterile, it could use those tiny color glitches, but in any other aspect it's far better than this.Do you really think that TVs in 80s and 90s were incapable of displaying straight vertical lines without turning them into a zigzag?
>>556834436This is a universal problem for crt shaders. They are all modeled after Brazilian knock offs that were garbage.Nobody that had a decent Jap crt would ever see anything like that.
>>556835673Anybody involved in development of shaders featuring scanlines, aperture grille, geometric distortion or whatever else related to CRT displays should start with getting passable render of pic related.I assure you that a TV displaying things in the way the most of so- called CRT shaders does would be immediately tossed away.
Picked up on 3DS emulation after year. Decided to ditch Citra for Azahar since that's supposedly the new best thing. Most of my files seem to be worthless now, guess the decryption method changed... guess I'll stick to Citra.
>>556831087>>556831264I’m not able to contribute to the wiki

>>556846083>>556846852ah you mean the new wiki
>>556846214It works that way. Thanks, bro. Does that one get the same updates as main azahar? Then again, my citra is 6 years out of the loop at this point, so thats "better" either way.
>>556791230Thanks man
>>556845962Your files aren't decrypted at all dude
>>556848563this guy has had nothing to do for 4 years of his life but sit on a wiki and make sure it's as unusable as possible, checking it every single day to make sure it's still impossible to get information about the playstation(s)mccarthy was right about literally everything. That's the only explanation. this goes so far beyond mental illness
PS2 page needs to be reverted to at least 57069, the current one has the genres garbage. I can't preview changes so I don't know how it'll look or if it's even possible to edit right now.
>>556823234He is also heavily closing down any issues related to his bullshit. Started going on a closing rampage a month ago.This emulator is practically useless now.
>>556846852>>556848563wasn't the wiki created by 4chan? when did normies start getting mod powers?

>>556851559It's what happens when shit gets too popular. We had similar issues in the past.
>>556851827rip in piss
>>556851315It's not even the original wiki, the previous one was hosted on wikia and got kicked IIRC
>>556852127they wanted to ditch wikia for a long time before they got kicked. linking pirated BIOS files was the last straw and they just moved away.
>>556849510yea its on the same update as main iirconly game i had issues with afaik is tomodachi life using QR codes. It would corrupt my saves so i had to go back to citra just for that one gamd
>>556720286https://youtu.be/jGzqr8BURdooy vey
>>556854193So far it performs much better at stuff my old citra struggled with. Monster Hunter 4 rendering issues. Used to have slowdowns in some games that have their logic tied to framerate/time I guess. Again, thanks bro.

I've been studying the CMB and I've found a hidden message embedded in it. It's a zip file of over 128eb of emulators and complete romsets from the previous universe.
PCSX2 runs great but when i record gameplay with "gpu screen recorder" (a hardware-based video recorder with shadowplay style features) theres noticeable slowdown in the footagewhat do?

>>556834436>It would look like this only if you had a really shitty TV.Which most of us had in the 1980s.

>>556834436Anon, I'm pretty sure "shitty" is the goal there. There's already an entire directory of PVM wannabe CRT filters.
>>556869096This looks too clean lol, shader preset or real edit/render?
>>556869484Anon, read the text...
>>556868787nah, some modern pixel art games were specifically designed for modern monitors, specially undertale will look dogshit in a TV CRT. They may look fine on a PC CRT though
>>556869905I give zero fucks about supposed developer's intentions or authenticity. If it has pixel art, I will slap a CRT shader on top of it because it's as essential as anti-aliasing for 3D graphics. I emulate Nintendo DS with a CRT shader
>>556870263Raw pixels look just fine though
>>556870263>I give zero fucks about supposed developer's intentions or authenticity.no no, i mean it will literally look dogshit because the eyes in undertale are like a single pixelcompare that to say, the dracula pixel art in castlevania where looking at it on a CRT turns it from a red pixel into a glowing eyelidTheres actually visual design concerns that are different depending on wether you make your "pixel art" game for a TV CRT or a modern screen.
>>556870374for philistines like you maybe>>556870607>i mean it will literally look dogshitIt will look like shit if the game is actually faux 2D like Enter the Gungeon that has subpixel scrolling with 3D objects projected onto 2d planeIf it's properly made in 2D with fixed res it will look good
>>556870843>It will look like shit if the game is actually faux 2D like Enter the Gungeon that has subpixel scrolling with 3D objects projected onto 2d planeSo 99% of modern games?
>>556870964A small subset of "retro inspired" games with talentless hack devs
>>556870607by contrast, heres a game made for pixel-perfect modern LCD displaysIts not made with a CRT in mind simply because the devs never planned a CRT TV to play it, nor used CRT TVs while developing and playtesting the game, its not their fault but this game will probably benefit the least from A CRT or it may even detract from them
>>556870607there's nothing in a crt that says "smear red"you get chroma bleeding like that because of crosstalk between the luma and chroma when you shove them both down the same cable, like with compositeyou won't even get that with s-video which separate the luma from the chroma
>>556870263Based but he has a point some games just don't fucking care, sometimes they have suck low resolution it's actually less than SNES, sometimes the pixel sizes are uneven, sometimes huds will become unreadable, etc
>>556870843There are plenty of retro games designed with no CRT filter in mind newfag, like the Gameboy Advance or the DS.
>>556871148no one expected the average consumer to be using anything better than composite during the 90's or even the very early 2000's, the PSX shipped with composite, PS2 shipped with composite only, etc>>556871414thats a good point, but those games were also meant to be played on tiny screens, you wouldnt see giant fucking pixels on a 1080p screen but tiny pixels that are pretty much impossible to tell apart in a decent pixel density 3 inch screen
>>556871357Almost all of recent pixel games I tried are made competentlyThe one that gave me trouble was Zero Ranger because it's a 160x240 (GBA res lol) game but the scrolling is on a 320x480 grid
But if its designed with CRT screens in mind is it still pixel art?
>>556871620>Zero Rangerthat's the one on my mind lol
>>556871824you're not meant to see "raw pixels" on a TV CRT, so is it really "pixel" art? how about its just ART!
>>556871414Did I stutter? It means fuck all whatever developer intentions were, if it has pixel art of any kind it's getting a CRT shader>>556871938It's not a big deal, just double res it up
I thought searching for cheats in old games would be easy but it turns out a lot of them store numbers in weird bcd formats, I guess to save memory for numbers that have to be displayed anyways...
>>556873648Retroarch's cheat system is basically unusable unless you're just using an existing cheat database. Have fun trying to do a memory search for the number 25783264 when you can't enter numbers directly and have to use the right and left arrows.
did RA abandon content aware shaders?
>>556791230Are you still setting things up?
>>556878924First time hearing about that. Looks like they dropped it.Rather than content-aware shaders that would get retardedly long and complex for things beyond simple graphical effects, they need like custom scripts you can run that could draw into the screen borders and even take user interaction. You could do things like interactive maps in dungeon crawlers, bestiary entries for enemies you're currently fighting in jrpgs, etc...
I thought that after all those updates Azahar would stop being a piece of shit but turns out Fire Emblem Fates is still broken in like twenty different ways lmao
>>556880838You can edit and upload now.Getting files through miraheze API didn't work out, only a handful of files got through. So you can reupload them if you want. A lot more tedious, but you can also wiki link using wikipedia files or direct hotlink images, example of both in this:https://vsrecommendedgames.gametechwiki.com/index.php?title=Xbox_Series_X&curid=322&diff=1120&oldid=944Also the first time a page is loaded is stupidly slow and might timeout, but then it'll get cached on the server and should be fine.
>>556882101Is there any way to mass upload files? I could do it
>>556871620>picthat one has the vibes of an early portable console like the GBA or somethingI also really enjoyed mark of the ninja's gameplay if that counts
>>556882597Should be able to drag/drop files in the edit page:https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MsUpload
>>556881828>user scriptslet them set uniforms for shaders and every problem with shaders is now fixed
>>556883512wait you can do that?I wrote a shitty script just to upload stuff yesterday lmao
>>556883512Thanks
>>556882101upload is not working
i love you PCSX2
>>556884484Should work now.
>>556885414yeah it works from Special:Upload, but not from MsUpload. Also I think something about thumbnail generation broke
>>556886394Weird, it's working for me.
>>556834436currently it's an exaggerated vhs and signal crust shader which can be configured to whatever level to crust you want, the crt effect is just crt-hyllian, I plan on integrating a custom crt effect once I'm happy with the underlying look but for now the crt stuff is just appended on (op image was my first attempt fucking around with shaderdev, it's a fucking mess)there's also a lot of overlap with what I'm doing there and what full ntsc shaders do so I'm thinking of merging in all the relevant ntsc functionality to get rid of the redundancies, performance was my main goal since the off the shelf shader stack I was using for a similar effect was melting my gpu
>>556886915It is working now
>>556886394Also if your images don't show up right after uploading it just takes time for the cache to reset, but you can force it with: ?action=purge like so:https://vsrecommendedgames.gametechwiki.com/index.php/PlayStation?action=purge
>>556887254*audience laughs*

ngl I think monitor resolution is more important than framerate for shaders everything else being equal, all that sub-frame shit is a scam
Anyone got a nice video about arcade machines and their hardware that i could watch? i want entertainment
>>556904789y-you can come over to my house and sit on the couch and watch me play TMNT: The Arcade Game if you want
>>556899990>>556900610idk how to make a neat and tidy list where the games fit nicely on a grid, mine would look like someone manually copy pasted ps2 cover art using mspaintwhat tools do i use to make my own version?
>>556905034Sounds fun, but i have a boyfriend sorry
>>556904030Absolutely notThe most important part is frame pacing, and several systems don't run at exactly 60 Hz, so you need a VRR monitor (which are practically always high refresh rate too)Who cares about shaders if the scrolling isn't buttery smooth like it should be? You'll understand when you'll see Castlevania scrolling on a VRR monitor
>>556906521anon all emulators just round 59.997fps to exactly 60.fps
>>556906782NES games run at 60.1 FPSVRR is absolutely noticeable on NES games
>>556906915oh, you were just trolling, got it
>>556907567VRR isn't a meme.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CeZ0xbtfDo
>>556908180i think my gigabyte g27 monitor has freesync, how do i turn it on ?linux mint btw
>>556908297I use a g27 also. Just make sure your monitor has it turned on. And make sure you are connected with the display port, not HDMI.
>>556907567RetardDo you think emulators change their speeds for your monitor? NES emulator speedruns wouldn't be accepted if that was the caseWhen playing NES games on a regular 60 Hz monitor, frames have to be skipped once in a while so the game runs at the proper speed
>>556908657>Do you think emulators change their speeds for your monitorthey very literally do my dude, within reason at least, you get into some weird dos games that run at like 70hz and it's whatever at that pointI don't follow your gay faggot speedrunning shit but I'm sure they only accept specific emulators with specific settings or they use other metrics than a stopwatch or they apply a correcting factor
>>556908885Holy retardAnon here >>556908180 literally posted a video showing that if the framerate is at 59.18 (lower than 60) some frames literally get get displayed twice to stay at the proper speed
>>556909021proof??
>>556909428I'm the anon that posted the vid, and the proof is in there. Shadows flicker irregularly, and the pitch will be off when forced to 60hz. (Especially with games at a lower refresh rate like 54.7hz.)
You can literally open up the stats in RA and see 0 dropped frames. I don't understand why people spread misinformation here when a simple google search would set them straight.
>>556812837I never used a Home menu.I rather boot up a game directly than use a recreation of the console's OS with bells and whistles getting in the way and delaying that.
Anyone got Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood (for the NDS) working? It didn't work on DeSeMu, got Melon 1.1 and it didn't work, then got the euro version since the NA version was cited to be the issue when googling it, then I tried to get Melon 0.7.1 and it wasn't booting due to missing files. I also couldn't find saves either that function past the tut just 100% shit.

>>556406262I keep trying to figure it out but how do I generate a new BCAT file in an emulator )Ryujinx for the record) to get bonus stuff in various Switch games? Only other way I can think of is injecting the contents directly into the save files themselves but it doesn't seem to work well for some things (ex: Pokemon's Pecha key item).
>>556954129Somebody really needs to clean up that image or create a list. It is just too big to read properly and some of those covers are such a low resolution.
>>556908657It's called v-sync you fucking retard. You turn it off and it locks itself to the console speed. You turn it on and the emulator fudges the timing by up to a few % to just match the monitor refresh.

hello I would like to recommend a video game its my favorite video game from when I was a kid so I think it should be on the recommended video games list

>>556978639This is literally the best system
kek
>>556979974
>>556955325Alright it's fixed.
>>556973574VRR monitors don't need v-sync, that's what they're designed for.
>>556982431What are you even talking about? You were claiming that a 60hz monitor will drop frames. That's wrong. You'll either get occasional screen tearing with v-sync off, or 0.00005% inaccurate timing with v-sync on. It has nothing to do with VRR.
>>556978973>interlaced
if you think about it the nes and the ps2 are both 240p consoles, the only difference is that the ps2 offsets the 240p image it outputs by one scanline every other frame
>>556990105I think a lot of PS2 games just render to a 480p framebuffer internally 30 times a second. Disable all deinterlacing in a PS2 emulator and most of the library still renders at perfect 480p. Only a handful of games show clear interlacing artifacts suggesting they're rendering a distinct image 60 times a second.
>>556990105>anon discovers interlaced scan>>556991852The framebuffer is usually 512x448, which is essentially 640x480 but cutting the overscan are for more performance.
it's a shame that RA doesn't have a true base size uniform, original size doesn't really cut it since those values get modified by cpu video filters and the emulator itself if it's cropping overscan or applying its own built-in filters
Talking about the PS2, this just happened recentlyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFoXgSjbQLohttps://github.com/fgsfdsfgs/sm64-port/pull/118
>>556996794>why come no devs used this mode during a time when 99.999% of their users were playing on consumer crt sdtvs
>>556997242That and also they'd rather push GOOD GFX rather than uselessly high definition N64 graphics.
>>5569967941080i with full buffer is cool and all but I'd rather have 720p. The framebuffer just isn't big enough for 1080i if you want anything higher than 16-bit

according to this video, citron is better than eden when it works, but where is ryujinx?the switch emulation is evolving so slowlyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIgDgem64XE
is it really evolving or are they just hacking shit together
>>557006606The latter, because Shin'en games actually take advantage of the Switch.
I think that once something "works" the devs don't pay attention to it anymore that's why you don't ever get performance optimizations in emulation, if it runs and doesn't crash most devs say it's enough

>>556996083>but cutting the overscanDreamcast actually rendered the full frame of 640x480. There was nothing lost to overscan.The ps2 rendered 512x448 for performance reasons.
>>556990105What blows my mind is the NES and SNES ran at the same resolution.That's the perfect example of why colour depth and other things are so much more important than resolution when it comes to graphics quality.
>>557054579Yes, close it and do something of actual value that improves performance, accuracy or both.

>>557092639So this was the monkey's paw that lead to 3DS emulation being stagnant? Commendable, but I do wish gpucode could pull a refraction on Assahar so it isn't a useless fork.
preemptive ps6 emulation
>>557089484>There was nothing lost to overscanThere was, duh. CRTs always have some overscan. They just cut the pixels outside of what was considered the the safe area by the industry and told devs to draw the framebuffer at the res, which would give them extra power to work with, with basically no downsides. Same reason SNES would output at 256x224 and not 320x240
>>557096830dreamcast had vga out, crt monitors didn't really have overscan
>>557097132PS2 didn't, it was meant to be used on CRT TVs, which did have overscan. Using that res was just a smart optimization.
>>557090253They're already playable?And they still suck ass.
>>557097132My assumption would be that DC devs could detect if it was in VGA mode or just composite or whatever and if they cared they could adjust the framebuffer as wanted. People played DC on televisions so games had to deal with overscan regions just like everyone else.
>>556996083>>557096830I think you are misunderstanding how horizontal resolution works on CRTs. It's basically a percentage of the output horizontal resolution that gets lost to overscan. Outputting 512 or 256 wide you're still going to lose some of those pixels to overscan.The Genesis rendering at 320x224 has more pixels in the visible area than the SNES running at 256x224 on the same TV.
>>557101887PS2 outputs 640x480, which avoids that. Pic related is essentially what reaches the TV, and you can see that pretty well on modern TVs.
>>557101887what you think of as pixels don't even have meaning to the crton the nes a "pixel" is 8 ppu clocks wide but a chroma wavelength is 12 ppu clocks wide, so where does one pixel end and another start? it's just a big smear
>>557102220Really? Is that like a hardware level feature or is it just a common thing games do? How come I've never seen that in PCSX2?Anyway the SNES definitely doesn't do that.
>>557102793GS just scales it. PCSX2 just outputs the content of the framebuffer instead of emulating everything else. Same reason why you won't get 1920x1080 (actually 1728x960) if you set GT4 to 1080i, but what's actually in the framebuffer, a 576x960 image.
(3580000/ 60) / 262.5A CRT can display exactly 227 distinct color pixels per scanline.
>>557104000if every pixel on a scanline is the same color then it can display an infinite number of pixels per scanline
>>557104000eh, that's more like the distribution of color transitions, luminosity changes are higher resolution, and even then it's kind of like downsampling a 640 pixel wide image with linear blur but better, it's only a problem with high frequency changes and games don't usually have 1 pixel wide checkerboard patterns
>>557102793PS2 has a few native video modes, it will only output one of these resolutions in commercial software. iirc you can even see this list on Linux
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/refs/heads/master/bin/resources/GameIndex.yamlwhat a fucking mess lmaothis is what happens when jeets gets obsessed with running early 3d games at 8K instead of just emulating the hardware properly. now the project is stuck babysitting a gigantic pile of GS hacks and per-game fixes because the hardware renderer has to guess what the PS2 was doing half the time.imagine if that effort went into tighter FPU/EE/VU emulation and a seriously optimized and improved low-level compute renderer instead. we’d probably have something way cleaner by now instead of tweaking GameIndex entries every time a shader sneezes, or falling back to some janky-ass software renderer just to make one game behave.but nah, gotta chase resolution screenshots for reddit. *Conor McGregor yelling in the background*Save us Hans.
>>557106960can you even emulate the meme fpu accurately in real time with current hardwarethe non standard fp seems like a big deal
>>557092994I would prefer if he made his own Citra fork desu. Azahar pretty much just exists so Pablo can peddle his dogshit homebrew that pretty much guarantees a Nintendo court win if they sued the mexican
I wish emulation was
>>557104000extremely digital brained thinking
>>557054579What is the point of this garbage? How does this increase immersion? The ps3 didn't have anything like this.
>>557106960Dolphin is just as bad. Look in the Sys/GameSettings folder. Each of those ini files is flipping hacky fixes on/off per-game.
>>557112451are we still doing thisthe biggest problem is not even the refresh rate, but the artifacts we can still notice, which incidentally often goes away the higher the refresh rates are
>>557109761>The ps3 didn't have anything like this.>Game artwork/background image, ICON1.PAM, SND0.AT3 etc.Compared to generic progress bar? Idk anon, seems reasonable to me.
>>557112686I think it's saying the opposite of what you're thinking, anon. Something about moving objects benefitting from higher fps.
why did the make emulation so hard I just want to play video games
>>557123532You think that's bad? RetroCopy won't work if your GPU is too new. (It's basically a prototype of EmuVR.)
>>557130241(samefag)Tried it on my Deck for the lulz, and it works... with caveats. It's one of those emus that ties game speed to CPU speed LMAO.
>>557130241>EmuVRI tried that shit a few times and it just seemed like the worst possible way to attempt to play a video game, like on every level
>>557123532It's not hard thoughSource: I'm a retard and I think it's easy
>>557123532im a linux user and i struggled to understand retroarch but all other emus are easywhat emu are you struggling with frend
>>557132468nesticle
>>557132734never heard of it sorrysounds sexual
>>557132814what? no, you can't have sex with an emulator, I already tried
>>557133381MiSTer has an addon for that
>>557113809How am I supposed to get immersed when this is something the ps3 didn't do?
Head On is my favorite Nintendo game.
I'm Hard-On for Head-On
>>557134486Where do you apply it?
>>557137224Directly on the foreskin.
>>557137320don't do that it will release mustard gas
>>556406262Why is the wiki black listed on bing and duckduckgo?
>>557140216Probably because it directly links to copyrighted material such as ROMs, ISOs, and BIOS files.
I still dont get why I cant just map my buttons on each core by just pressing the corresponding button.
>>557143812Button mapping and turbo are literally the only things I hate about RAStill using it because of consistent scaling and VRR across all cores though
>>557145591It's literally impossible for me to use Retroarch for local multiplayer because it is far too much of a hassle trying to map everyone's controls to their preferred buttons.
I am the very model of an emulation general
>>557146552I've information RetroArch, DuckStation, and Nesticle
>>556406262Which emulator is affected by the recent incident from Canada?
>>557147924none, girls don't use emulators
>>557134021well the real PS3 doesn't spend ~60 seconds staring at a blank screen or generic progress bar either, on a real console you literally select the game icon in XMB, hear the sound (SND0.AT3), see the wallpaper fade in, maybe a tiny animated icon/video preview (ICON1.PAM), then it boots.RPCS3 currently shows a mostly empty interface with text like "Compiling PPU modules", "Linking PPU modules", "Building SPU Cache" for minutes on first launch (or after updates). Casual users have zero clue what any of that means, why it's taking forever, or why their PC suddenly sounds like a jet engine spooling up. It feels broken or stuck, especially if they're coming from console where you just click the icon and it "just works" with nice sounds and visuals.The issue (#18173) is suggesting to overlay the game's own XMB wallpaper + play that sound file (SND0.AT3) + maybe show the ICON1.PAM video in its original small frame during those stages. It's not faking or anything; it's just making the wait feel more like "yeah I'm booting the game on a PS3" instead of "watching an emulator compile shit". And since the wallpaper/sound assets are already extracted and playable in the GUI anyway, it's relatively low effort for decent immersion until full XMB launching matures.with optional toggle of course, so "resulator people" can keep the boring text screen if they want. Not pointless, just cosmetic polish that costs almost nothing.
>>557106960You're not crying hard enough for them to give a damn
>>557147924What the fuck are you talking about?
>>557147924Duckstation had no updates for 2 days
>>557152675feds raided it, delete your browsing history and romsets
Best emulators that still run on windows XP?Kega Fusion works wonders i havent tried anything else yet
This may be a stupid question but I've recently learned how to replace textures while emulating PS2 games simply by checking how to apply texture replacements by other people and doing so with my own edited textures but one problem I'm having is that some of the textures appear to be... semi transparent for some reason? So far I've only edited stuff by selecting a part and adjusting the color, saturation etc of the selected part but the transparency makes it hard to see if the result is matching what I want it to look like ingame.I assume people use a certain tool or method for this? What is it?
Tried xenia EDGE. Ace combat still has triangles and the "improved" vulkan renderer makes the game unplayable.As expected.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikxdwz0_1qIif this was oled it would mog CRTs, wouldn't it?
>>557148592They should be working on the xmb then instead.
>>557169464No because working at 15khz is part of why people like crt tvs.
>>557173598oleds cant work at 15khz?
>>557173392Nah, full XMB emulation is a massive undertaking, months of dev time. Core team priorities are and should be compatibility list growth, fewer crashes,and better perf.The #18173 suggestion is literally just a cosmetic overlay using assets the emulator already extracts and can play. It's low-hanging fruit: optional toggle, minimal code changes, zero impact on runtime performance, and it makes the shader/ PPU/SPU compilation wait feel way less like "the emulator is dying" and more like "PS3 is just taking its sweet time booting this disc."You can do quick QoL polish like this in parallel without touching the big scary XMB rewrite. I believe csual newbies would appreciate it a ton, and the "RESULATOR" purists can just turn it off in two clicks. Win-win.

let me upload aaaaa
>>557174548If you're going to waste time on immersion in the first place you might as well do it right.
>>557167871Just remove the alpha layer, edit the texture, and then add the alpha layer back in at the end.
>>557173789Nope, not even 1khz.
>>557173598>>557186580You may genuinely be retarded if you're not trolling.
>>557167237retroarch will run on XP so anything on it
>>557193580Well anon saying that oleds can work at 15khz was so dumb I just figured may as well go down to his level.
>>557186531I have no idea what the alpha layer is. I just make the emulator dump the textures, then I put them in Sai, edit them and save them in the replacements folder. These appear as regular .png files, only one layer
Sometimes I wonder what would happen if Nintendo kept developing shmups. Kinda sad how Nintendo pretends their early shooter history doesn't exist.
>>557196812Tell miyamoto how much you loved starfox zero.
>>557197449I'm not sure games with co-devs count.
>>557197449>miyamotothe iron chef?
Wiiudownloader constantly fails downloads? What do?
>>557195085The proper term is "alpha channel" actually, sorry.I've never used Sai, but it should be possible. Per channel manipulation is a not uncommon thing to do when image editing.In GIMP you just go over to the channels tab and then you can lock/hide/copy channels.If you can't figure it out by poking around maybe go ask >>>/ic/
SonOfUgly, can you enable Category:Unused_files on vsrecommendedgames pls
>>557199980>enable Category:Unused_filesNot sure what you mean by that, but you can see unused files here:https://vsrecommendedgames.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Special:UnusedFilesGiven what you're doing though you probably want files that are missing? https://vsrecommendedgames.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Special:WantedFiles
>>557200841>https://vsrecommendedgames.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Special:UnusedFilesahI though it was supposed to be like Category:Unused_files like https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Category:Unused_files but that's something else then. nvm
>>557201041btw that page takes a while to refresh doesn't it, plenty of files there in use
>>557079807I think there's a tool built into steam you can just use.
>>557143812The controller abstraction in RA is one of the stupidest things i've ever seen in an emulator and i've been emulating daily since about 1998.The second stupidest thing is RA's turbo fire implementation.
>>557169464OLED's have atrocious motion blur.
xemu dead.Vita3k last great update is backporting years old windows fixes to android.Xenia is still useless.Rpcs3 really close to having over 1.2k issues on github, thus increasing the amount and not decreasing.Azahar is a vibe coding disaster.At least ymir is good and refraction decided to fix up some pcsx2 failures.
The world's first quantum accurate NES emulator!
>>557198785Okay I checked and found the channels tab like you said but I have four, RGB, Red, Green and Blue (separatedly) so I still have no idea what to do to remove the transparency
>>557204372we can't even have gate level accurate NES running in real time
That's cool and all, but when is Stella going to support Moviecart emulation?
>>557206203(samefag)WTF, Gopher2600 supports it!? Now I'm intrigued...https://youtu.be/GS9IYmAdFSs?t=452
>>557204372>wtf I don't remember the quarks spinning like that when I was a kid
>>557206203https://archive.org/details/@pdmcmp?sort=-addeddate
>>557207213Thanks, these are great for testing while I try and convert E.T. myself to the Moviecart format. (Cuz, y'know, 2600.)
