Pros and cons
>>719917162I like everything about it but I also haven't really messed with it too much so I can't speak to accuracy. I can tell you one time I was playing Shadow Tower with it and it freaked the fuck out graphically, dropped to 4 FPS and my save was borked. That's the only issue I ever had.
Cons: dev is a faggot
>ProsEverything. Probably the best emulator I've used.>ConsI can't plug my memory cards directly into my PC and don't want to shell out for the USB adapter.
>>719917162>prosemulates ps1 games>consdoesn't give my life any purpose
>>719917162It's legit the best PS1 emulator ever.Fast, accurate, tons of tweaking options out of the box. It just werks.The same guy later went and fixed PCSX2 and RPCS3.
>>719917162>it just works: the emulator
>>719917162>CuckstationWhat do I use instead of it.
>>719917162The dev is extremely schizophrenic and goes on long rants about how he's owed millions of dollars for the work he does for emulation.
>>719917672Mednafen, I guess? Or you could go crawling back to good old epsxe.
>>719919094Mednafag has always been trash, and overshilled to boot.>ePSXeI used that thing for like 20 years. Duck was the very first emu worth upgrading to.
>>719917162>Prosit's decent out of the box>consthe dev is unhinged>>719917672Beetle cores, Swanstation is okay but it's basically an old build of Duckstation before he sperged out and changed the license
And since he changed the license it can't be updated or worked on, the guy is a retard
>>719917672i would recommend a noose to hang yourself seems like it would be of great use to you specifically
>>719917326>>719919526>>719919663Whats the story on the dev being a spastic?
>>719917162Pros: it just werksCons: it's not mednafem
>is it the fault of the Arch developers for using deprecated packages and making an OS that breaks all the time and attracts the worst kind of modern computer autists?>no, it must be the fault of the emulator developer!
>>719917162Mednafen/beetle sw made all other ps1 emulators redundant.
>cons>dev is retardedWhy do you care tho?
>>719917162Swanstation is better
>>719917162>proscute duck>consdark ui
>>719921447what's the difference?
>>719917162played on it cuz idk any other ps1 emusharvest moon is fun
>>719921668>>cons>dark ui
>>719919817fed up of linux distroniggers repacking it and breaking a ton of shit, causing people using those broken repacks to come to them for supportbasically a nothingburger since it works on my machine & they're still developing it too
>>719917162It's lightweight which is very useful for shitboxes like chinkhelds but has relevant speedhacks unlike PCSX Rearmed.It's inaccurate, the dev is such a nigger he makes you side with the libretro leeches, and he has the psychological profile of someone who will inevitably slip malware in.
>>719917162what filters are best? for me its scanlines-abs
>>719917342
>>719917568RPCS3 is still trash
does it have mouse support for shooters? i remember having to download 3rd party software to make it work. i think pcsx2 has the same issue.
>>719919236i used epsxe until 2021. google was still showing it in search results so i didn't know there was an alternative. someone on /v/ had to tell me about duckstation.
>>719917162Pro: It's freeCon: It's free
>ProsIt works, and the dev is sick of lincuckfags, like myself.>ConsNone.
for me, it's syphon filter>>719923434its been a while since i set mine up so it might be outdated by now, but if you like the look of pic related i'll screenshot all of my settings for you
>>719919817Egotistical spastic. Latest spergout is the Linux thing but he’s had more before that. The big one is changing licenses because he hated the idea that people could fork his open source project that uses code from other open source projects
>>719923268>>719923993Kek, seems like a common thing with these types of guys. They do brilliant work but their autism also leads to them regularly having meltdowns over retarded shit nobody else cares about.
>>719917162>prosHas a duck >consHas no station Quite the dilemma
>>719917327I have both the Sony PS3 adapter and the Japanese one that just happens to work with memory cards.
>>719917327You can extract saves the hard way from a modded PS2 if you got it, just drag and drop the files.
>>719924059You don't understand. This very specific thing that I care very deeply about. These shitbag skin walkers want to shit all over it with their dumb ass shit that has nothing to do with it. If you press in that piece of shit's ass into my code's dick I'm going to nuke the whole thing.
>>719924401Oh yea... I forgot about the new PS2 Mod Cards. So I have three ways of getting data from PS1 memory cards.
>>719917568>>719923890>upscaling ps1i hate zoomers so fucking much
>>719917162>triggers linux trannieshella based
>>719917342yeah
>>719924865yeah bro let me play at real 480p on my 1440p monitorupscaling with a decent filter is the best way to play short of on real hardware (which i also do, but duckstation is just more convenient to boot up and play)
>>719917327how do I get the skills required to build my own USB adapters for things like that? like what classes should I take at my local community college?
>upscaling with a decent filter is the best way to play short of on real hardware
>>719923890>upscaling with a filterWhy??? Either use one or the other.
>>719920647>Mednafen/beetle sw made all other ps1 emulators redundant.Why?
>>719923376>he has the psychological profile of someone who will inevitably slip malware in.Yeah, it looks like he's still updating it for linux but I'm not running an angry schizo sperg's code on my machine.
>>719917162Pros: PSXCons: No PS2
>>719923268>repo repackage shitshownot my problemalso he hated retroarch faggots much more
Pros: it's not retroarchCons: who cares, it's not retroarch
>>719925048most ps1 games were actually 240p. we didn't get 480p games until ps2.
>>719917162Pros: It worksDev gatekeeps it from linux tranniesCons:None (unless you are a linux tranny)
>>719924401I have done that though, yeah. FreeMCBoot is so awesome.>>719925107You’re on the information superhighway right now brother. There’s loads of hobbyist electronics info online, and there's at least one active PS1 and PS2 homebrew and modding forum out there that could probably help you out. >>719928836And even then, I doubt the majority of people actually played the few games that could do it in progressive scan. You needed component cables for it.
>>719929223i didn't know component cables were thing until the end of the ps2's life.
>>719919236mednafen is cool faggot
>>719924479>new PS2 Mod CardsQrd?
>>719924865>using native resolution in old pc port good>using native resolution in ps1 port bad
>>719920424the official flatpak is overwhelming the most popular package THOUGH
>>719924865CRTs scale much differently than modern TVs, therefore upscaling is preferred when playing on high-resolutions. Then add the CRT filter.You just outed yourself as the zoomer.
I use it on my phone
>>719933864Yes, fast pants!
>>719917672mister fpga core
>>719917342>consDoesn't bring her back
>>719933864hehe squirrel
>>719934135good joke
>>719934312that's a pro
>>719917162-It's riddled with compatibility issues.-If you try to use the perspective correction features, or run games in HD, there are even more problemsEvery emulation community is constantly filled with people asking "why does y/x/z/ not work properly in duckstation".And the answer is always "use mednafen you fucking retard".
>>719929223>You needed component cables for it.Component cables were common as fuck.You needed a progressive scan capable TV and those were rare.
>>719934226lmfao
>>719924092Lel
>>719923562It runs demon souls at 1440p 120fps like a dream tho
>>719935889wut?
>>719919094>>719919236Mednafen is the linux of PS1 emulators.
I tried playing Parappa a few months ago and I couldn't get the timing right. I thought it was input lag from the emulator but then I remembered I actually owned the game when I was a kid but never beat it because I had the same timing issue.
there are no cons
>>719917162the only con is that pcsx2 isn't this fucking good and it pisses me off
>>719939312you could also try messing around with the runaway setting. emulators are going to have inherent lag no matter what just because of how they work. Only way to get the most precise timing is unfortunately through real hardware on a CRT
>>719929223>FreeMCBootWhy are people afraid to mod their consoles?
>>719920647Neither has a good interface.
>>719939312MiSTertranny tried to claim it works great on FPGA despite being off on real hardware.>>719940002It's an issue inherent to the game. Um Jammer Lammy is fine emulated or on real hardware, while Parappa is weird. It can be learned (pretty easily, too), but you're playing off time.
>>719924865peak contrarian elitism
>>719940869I love cranking stuff up, but upscaling 2D stuff is definitely horrific. If you get an all-3D game, it might look good outside of the HUD, but anything like Resident Evil or (even worse) a pure 2D game will be an abomination.
The developer is fucked in the head. Emulator devs and modders are severely mentally ill.
>>719940680There's just no need for it anymore for PS2. Not until an ODE is made that can boot into PS1 mode for full PS1 compatibility.
>>719941187There's no reason not to do it. It's like 24 wires.
>>719933864>tomba aka tombiBased.
>>719941231Ooooooor I can accomplish the same thing with just a memory card.
>>719941152GOOD. Fuck entitled troonix users. You are no better than pajeets shitting on winlator project.
>windowsvegans making this thread all about themselves
>>719917162it's a complete piece of shit and profoundly retarded, can't wait for it to disappear and for the retarded dev to kill himself
>>719941721>zero qualification
>>719924865fuck off
>all the linuxtard seetheabsolute proof you shouldn't develop for these mentally ill troons
>>719917672Swanstation
>>719942502The only thing upscaled in that shot is the HUD.
>>719942502>skateboardingonly thing stopping me from wanting to 100% year of the dragon is the skateboarding
>>719942528I get that why some devs don't release linux port despite the project is open source. Troonixers do be like that.
>>719933864>vagrant story>valkyrie profile>xenogearssafe jrpgs
>>719942610It's upscaled and then downscaled back to 2x, its tasteful>>719942654I skate irl partly because of this gamethe other part is THPS
>ProsIt's a simple and efficient emulator>Cons No point in using it when mendafen is just a better emulator, unless you are a simpleton.
>>719943196No point in using mednafen when Duckstation just works.
>>719943842>No point in using the most accurate PS1 emulator when there is a worse, dumbed down alternative.
>>719944074>accuracyI bet you don't play PSX games in 4k, either.
>>719944117That's the most Indian way of playing old console games besides playing them in 16:9 without a wide screen hack.
>>719917162So am I still able to update it through the discover store? I heard the dev was a faggot and he was sabotaging linux builds from now on
>>719944557Common linux L
>>719944517It's like saying it's Indian to use a toilet, and aryan white men shit in the street.https://files.catbox.moe/111i0o.png
>>719943196>>719944074none of my games or romhacks have ever not worked so far, plus Duck being multiplat means I can cross save and play across my PC, Switch, and phone ezpzwhat's the cute bug got?
>>719944074Duckstation is accurate enough for 90% of people. Any inaccuracies are small enough that you need autism to be bothered by it.
>>719921668>dark ui
>>719923890what are you doing to get this image? what filters etclooks pretty good
>>719919817Its Stenzek different alias Tahlert or some shit like that. He is a fragile sperg and turbo autismo who will drop projects solely because random rajesh on discord asks him "whens next update sirs?" and keeps em closed source lmao. He faked getting death threats and been told to fuck off by both PCSX2 and Dolphin devs due to being a sperg who had mental breakdown every 5 minutes. He worked on PCSX2 port for Android and after dropping it he released downgraded version with ads while at same time he banned devs of Skyline a switch android emu for putting ads in their emu.Dude will 10000000% troon out soon if he didnt do so already which wouldnt suprise me at all.
>>719917162>Prosit works but the dev is a schizoid tranny throwing childish tantrums (see linux)>consyou are still a fat pc incel collecting terabytes of ROMs that you will never play, those games aged like trash and there's literally no reason to play them if you even played a modern gameonly neet unemployed incels would torrent and pirate shit because employed people can actually afford games and things that are relevant nowyou are also not getting the authentic experience with upscaling and all that so you are just delusional if you think that you actually played the game by emulating it on your shitbox
