use RetroArch
>>
What is it?
>>
>>743380359
Retroarch is great but playing Worms on a console emulator on a fucking PC has got to be one of the most retarded things I've ever seen.
Those games were made for PC and are best played on PC. Especially Armageddon

zoomer detected I guarantee you couldnt get a single gem in that game lmao

a kind of wrapper that lets you easily download hundreds of emulator "cores" with a ton of shader support. all you emulators in one program kind of thing

i grew up playing the ps1 versions these games. so even though the pc versions might have higher resolution and better controls, their nostalgic enjoyment factor wouldnt be as high.

games don't age, only the shitters that play them

I tried it with emulation station. There was massive lag and stutter with the azahar and dolphin cores.

When I switched to the standalone versions installed on my machine, the choppyness and micro stutter went away it felt smooth.

So obviously something wrong with retro arch cores
>>
Retroarch is the biggest piece of shit to ever exist. I use MiSTer like a real patrician.
>>
>>743380534
But emulators have fast forward. Why the fuck would I ever play through a PC port of the first RE3s when I could emulate the DS / PS1 / Gamecube ports which allow me to fast forward through unskippable animations. Should I wait 15 seconds to watch Chris use the crank to rotate the tunnels in the caves, something no le ebin mod for the PC version can do? Or should I just emulate it so I can fast forward through time wasting bullshit?

How do you get the icons on the list itself to appear as game covers? If I select "download thumbnail" on a game the cover appears on the right when I highlight the game, but I have to do that individually for each game in the list too. How do I get the icon within the list to appear on the left?
>>
>>743380359
tried it on iphone and stopped
I found it too tedious as fuck to do the DS screens how I like them
I stick with actual emulators on android

you're proabably using the default menu drivers. then you can go to user interface -appearance and play around with the settings.

>>743380359
Retroarch is good when it works, and a fucking nightmare when it doesn't.
Choosing a specific BIOS ROM, game-specific configurations, or custom controller bindings are such a pain in the ass to do in Retroarch that there's entire other software projects like Parallel Launcher just to do that.
>>

>le resident evil game
I'm talking about Worms you fucking retarded nigger. They're literally better on PC in every single way. You're fast forward argument doesn't even apply to Worms lmao
>>

>The linux version is a piece of shit.
I use it on Linux and Windows and there's no difference. You can even choose between GTK and Qt.
>>
>>743380359
no, i will use a frontend and standalone emulators
they'll at least remember their settings instead of only being able to save one category at a time
>>
Retroarch works for general purpose, but it lacks the necessary tools and refinement of dedicated standalone emus. Example: paper mario is completely unplayable on RA because the mupen and parallel cores are too out of date. Mupen's dedicated standalone emu runs it fine, though.
>>
>>743380359
I've been using it since 2013.
There are things i hate about it (the controller abstraction and the way it handles turbo fire are fucking stupid, the config files can and will get corrupt because of multiple layers of priority fighting over each other), but it's the absolute best way to emulate everything from the atari 2600 up to and including the dreamcast.
>>
>>743383750
>i pay for my emulators, that makes me better
lol, it even has less features,
>>
>>743390327
paper mario does and has always run fine in retroarch, you absolute buffoon.
RA has features that standalones don't have.
You've got everything backwards.
>>
>>743390327
Can confirm this. Paper Mario always crashes with Mupen. I have to run parallel's core for it to work.
>>743392556
Yeah but it doesn't with Mupen core (at least for me)
>>
hell yaeh
>>
>>743380359
Instead of this lame crossbar shit someone should make a theme that's like a PS Underground demo disc, including the cheesy music and cool pre-rendered graphics

What's the version of this without the gayass TV frame?
>>
>>743380359
I use it for 2D systems but don't bother with 3D.
The override system is a mess. The UI should make it clear how settings inheritance works.
>>
>>743380359
Then tell me how do I import PS1 games with with multiple discs to my playlist? Only disc 1 is showing up, I am using the beetle PSX hw core

crash 1 is the most expensive of the three for some reason.

>>743395230
that's the best part. you can customize it however you want and by default it's a black border with no shaders
>>
>>743380359
No thanks, I'm not retarded so I use individual emulators.
>>
>>743392494

The emulation is actually good on it though, unlike Retroarch and you can play on a crt with it perfectly.
>>
>>743380359
the only time I've willingly used this is to do DC emulation on my steam deck because flycast wouldn't go above 640x480 in game mode
>>
>>743381242
How do you get the box and cartridge to display like that? It ain't like that on mine.
>>
>>743401660
Ironically enough retroarch filters retards because they can't understand it.
>>
>>743380359
I can't set it up on my phone to play a damn thing other than gba games, I hate that it just shuts down without even saying you what went wrong so you can look it up or what's missing. I also hate that you can't make shorcuts for the games that you could access on one touch, no you have to open the app and choose from the list (I looked it up and you straight up can't).
The whole thing feels like a half-baked piece of barely functioning shit that they sugar coated with useless shit settings that no one cares about let alone use ever, and that makes people pretend its like a powerhouse. And yet, despite all its settings it still can't do the most basic shit like a game shorcut to your screen like a simple gba emulator can do. Its shit sugar coated in shit no one uses.
>>
>>743380359
I use it for some stuff. I have a syncthing set up to keep my retroarch saves the same between my phone and my steam deck and my PC so it's cool to always have my progress in Pokemon romhacks anywhere I want.

But the UI is cumbersome and annoying and slow

1. Worms were made for PC. You can play them on console but PS1 literally has less levels, no mods, no custom maps, missing half the features
2. Retroarch is a console emulator on PC. Why are you saying PCfag when this thread is literally for PCfags who use retroarch
3. Why does your single mom take so many dicks every week?

Unironically love retroarch. The GUI is god awful, settings are horribly disorganized, but once you've got it set up along with your core-specific settings it's megakino.

Bro I have retroarch on my 3ds. That shit's been ported to everything.

I already do, can someone explain the black magic needed to get cover art in that fucking thing though?

Shitiess piece of software imaginable

>tfw just a simple masn who likes to open my standalones and press play
i'm glad people enjoy RA but it's too much noise for me, plus their emulators themselves are objectively worse.
