Simpson's Bowling custom duckstation buildhttps://files.catbox.moe/htw2mo.7zJust run it and launch the iso in the simpsons folder. Sensitivity is adjustable, see the readme.First time on PC it has had fully working audio.
New bread let's go.I'm looking to get into PS2 emulation again. I know I need bios files and know the wiki has some posted to MEGA but I ain't touching that site. Myrient has a whole folder with tons of zip files, guessing it has bios files for different revisions of the phat and zlim PS2. Not sure what the "ps2-dvd-XXX" files are for though. What am I supposed to be getting again?
>>492584245just grab them and dump em in your bios folder, and then select what bios you plan to use for your needs. its not that complicated. each one has a region associated with it and theres different revisions. most wont have any real difference but compatibility issues could exist in some revisions so just take the ones you feel most comfortable with
Virtua Fighter for the SEGA 32X
>>492584245>>492585008i do also quite literally mean it when im suggesting pick one based on your needs. almost all of them are the same but on rare occasions you may desire a different one. the system is region free more or less so you dont really need to worry about the region normally
>>492585008>>492585262Okay but the thing is that myrient has them in zip files and I'm not sure what the letters correspond to. Whatever, I'll try two versions. But again what are the "ps2-dvd-XXX" files for though.
>>492587380>pic didn't attachT-thanks
>>492587380>I'm not sure what the letters correspond to.# is the version and letter is the region.>But again what are the "ps2-dvd-XXX" files for though.The DVD drive's firmware, it's completely useless.
>>492587380>>492587606the format is kinda weird but ill explain the naming>ps2-0100j-20000117.zip>ps2means ps2>0100jbios version 01.00, for japan>20000117literal date of the bios in YYYYMMDD format, this one being 2000, 01, 17>anything after thison occasion youll see a number after that, and thats more or less the literal code revision. its not really important beyond comparison reasons and sometimes is outright absent so feel free to ignore thisfor regions it goes as such>j = japan>h = hong kong>e = europe>a = america>xd = debug version where x is the region and d is the debug parttheres one in there where it doesnt have a region code and is just xd, that specific one is a test bios so technically no region but will be classified as japan, so aside from that sole exception that should cover itdvd firmware is unnecessary to save but there if there is some specific need for it
>>492588447>>492589194>The DVD drive's firmware, it's completely useless.Got it. Thanks.>there's a hong kong variantI forgot about that. I was wondering what the fuck the H stood for. Alright thanks anons.
>>492589487>Alright thanks anons.no problem, im autistic but im not autistic enough to tie the versions to each specific model. my knowledge cuts off there, as i prefer to memorize the model numbers rather than what bios version theyd have. just be glad you dont track that because you may realize how unbelievably retarded it gets. i cant even show the full sheet because theres just that much shit
Stop talking about the PS2. We don't support piracy.
Keep talking about the PS2. We support piracy.
Piracy is just. but I'd do it anyway
ive unironically pirated MORE switch games than ps2. yes, cope boomers. also dilate, seethe, sneed
>>492593735Good, it's the only way to play certain Denuvo games.
>>492593915im only aware of mortal kombat 1 and hogwarts legacy. what else is there?
>>492594123Anything that's made by SEGA post-2017.
>>492594191was gonna drop that>segaLMAOthen looked them up and saw that they own fucking fatlus which i know their shit has denuvo in them. thats new to me, didn't know sega are at the root of the most weeb shit games

I'm getting a minor audio crackle on Radiant Historia using Citra. I understand that Citra is dogshit, is this just normal or is this fixable? PC is 12900 and 3060 so I doubt it's hardware issue.
>>492597597try turning off time stretching.
>>492598483I must have already turned that off before, it's not on. I tried turning it on and it did get significantly worse though.
>>492593735I'm a 40yo boomer and that may be true for me at this point, or at least the number's close. PS2's kind of a grimy system honestly.
PS2 was always an overrated system with a handful of must-plays. What a shocker.
>>492584245Everything you need is on the wiki.
contrarian /v/irgins leaking again, I see
nigga anon already got his answer read the thread retard
re-inspection fuck it
>>492597597>I understand that Citra is dogshit,and now you understand first hand.You are using the last version right? try using the other audio emulation modes, there's 3 of them
>>492599196it's just recency bias, plus the Switch get a boost thanks to all the remasters and remakes the thing get in the first place, my most played switch games at this point are remaster and remakes of PS2 or GC/Wii/U games
>>492601187>an overrated system with a handful of must-playsbut enough about the N64
>Switch>better than PS2delusional zoomer takemost first party Switch games you can consider good are Wii U ports or remaster, it's a fucking joke

>>492601187>
I wish every devs working on emulators after 6th gens would quit and focus on PCSX2 and Parallel-GS, I really don't give a shit about emulators after 6th gens.
>>492606384Don't get me wrong PS2 has its games worth playing. I honestly think I've played all of those, though, and the rest are kuso, westslop, JRPGs slogs that make you hyper aware of your slow march toward death, or titles better on other platforms. There are still great games coming out for Basedtch. The only new games I play on PS2 are weird curiosities I 'huh' at for 30 minutes tops.
is MAME still the best emulator?
>>4926078254-6TH gens golden age
>s01 still censoredI think it's okay, jantrans, it's no longer as trendy. We can let the word out of the solitary confinement now.
>>492608297For early 80s or weirdo hardware arcade games, it is by default. FinalBurn Neo is better when it's applicable
Genuinely which one of you is so retarded and esl that you actually read "switch is better than ps2"
>>492608842says the retard who doesn't know how to reply to posts
>>492609006Interesting cope retarded esl anon.
>>492608297No. MAME can't even play the audio samples in Simpson's Bowling properly.
>>492607825Just be glad there's absolutely no reason to make a PS5 or Xbox one emulator.
>>492593735WRONG! I hate so MUCH when people are SO wrong. First, you NEVER separate "cope, seethe and dilate". Second, you DON'T change the order. 1. Cope2. Seethe3. DilateIt's ALWAYS like that, there are NO exceptions.Third, I don't care about sneed, put it wherever you want, just don't mix it with the others. You WILL write like this:>yes, boomers. cope, seethe and dilate. also sneed.That's PROPER grammar. Taught in every ELEMENTARY school.

>>492606384>>492593735I've never liked PS2 despite owning one, its graphics are dark vaseline which I find depressing, its most famous games were pretty much the start of today's extremely shitty "you're playing a game but you feel like you're watching a movie" trend, I've always preferred based Dreamcast, Gamecube, even Xbox for its follow-ups to Dreamcast games, over PS2that said, I've never pirated even a single shitch game, not because I respect nintendo, but because I find shitch as shitty as its name suggests and its games completely unworthy of playing ahead of my massive backlog, of course I'm not going to buy one and the current nintendo can go broke even today and I won't shed a tear the way I did after Sega stopped making consolesI'd pick PS2 over shitch every time of the day and year, there are absolute fucktons of games that PS2 got and many of them are actually awesome>b-but Switch is portable!!!!1I have my PS Vita for that>b-but Nintendo magic!!!!1I have my DS for that>b-but recent games and muh good graphics!!!!1zoomer argument, also steam deck exists and for me it kills the shitch
>>492632405I don't get pachinko. You're just watching balls with no real interaction. It's pretty gay.
Can someone explain this to me? Duckstation's entire philosophy is speed is all that matters fuck accuracy n shiet, but then I play Men in Black the game with upscaling and it lags the fuck out of it.
>>492639434What specs?
>>492640038Completely irrelevant. This is the only game I've ever had this problem in.

Are there any active PS1 projects left?

So what's happening? Did they manage to get Bloodborne running all this time but kept their work private?https://x.com/notnotzecoxao/status/1829956972382195755https://x.com/notnotzecoxao/status/1829977819897594110Also>>491432952>>491433059>>491433159
I wanna give PCSX2 a try and want to see if my CPU is any good and if it can run all the games. What's the most demanding game for this emulator?
>>492675840Destroy all Humans 1 + 2Raw DangerCold Winter Make sure you use the 2.0 stable release. They broke it recently and then fucked off. Most games run in slow motion now.
>>492676015thanks for the heads up and for the list.
Is there a good emulator for ps1 on wiiu? I'm downloading the retroarch cores now but it didn't say if it supports ps1
>>492679463Nevermind just found the wiki leak
>>492685174I hate scalpers, they fucked up the retro game market.
what's the absolute best controller you can get for emulation? (Especially classic systems like NES, Genesis, SNES, Turbografx)
Thought I had something but sadly not. Just another victim of a lack of audio filtering options. Heiwa Otenki Studios (Japan) has garbage audio crackling on the title screen but it's basically inaudible unless you stick your ear right up to the TV or wear headphones. With emulation you only get the shitty unfiltered raw output and can hear it clearly which you were never supposed to.
Just downloaded ShadPS4, what other files do I need in addition to the basic zip and where to find them?
>Open Ryujinx today>Neither does it find it my save file, nor does it give audio no matter what I dodafaq? did someone ever encounter this?

First time the wave scanner has been emulated. It's a simple device that just feeds 32-bit values into the microphone. You can get a bonus to your stats and if you scan a card in battle it can modify your in-game card's abilities.

Zillennial here. I like this game and everything but fuck me if I don't hate the camera on this shit. I now remember why I stopped playing a lot of psp games (aside from many of them being shovelware). Playing this game for the first time btw heard it's better than the PS2 version.
Has anyone been able to get macros to work in Dusckstation (standalone)? I'm trying to set R3 to do X+R1 (for dodging to the right in MML2) but it's not working at all. I already unset R3 from the actual bindings to avoid any conflicts.

>>492736727So he turned Duckstation into a non-free, source available program? Don't tell me this is because that anon who published a build of that literal who bowling game lmao

>>492739565umm...err...yeah
>>492736727what the heck is this guy's problem
At this point, he should just make it closed source. It's not like anyone else is working on it, or that he would let anyone else work on it. I don't even know why he developed it open source in the first place, since he seems to hate everything about it.
emulation is dead

>>492631437>its graphics are dark vaseline which I find depressingno vram and crt interlacing will do that, yeahBut when emulating the PS2 today in progressive and with some color boost I find most of the games a lot more appealing.
>>492702423RR4 is based but I don't remember that, what route is this
>>492747957Snoy would legit rather actually die than porting anything that has graphics they deem """""""outdated"""""""" and for them any games released 2/3 years ago is already too much and in need of a remake.So they could announce a PC Bloodborne but that will be a sloppy westcuck remake and not the actual Bloodborne, so I don't think it would matter.
They will never release Bloodborne on PC. They didn't even bother releasing a next gen patch on PS5, which they did for a ton of games. There's probably something going on with their exclusivity deal with FromSoft.

>download pal versions of ps2 games because i wanted multiple languages>forgot pal is cucked to 50hzThis is why I only fuck with Switch emulation.

>>492736727What is this "fork" he's mad about?Is he mad about Retroarch, or is he talking about literal scams?Third-worlders are becoming a problem for open-source though, no one foresaw them releasing plagiarized scam versions of open-source software, breaking licenses by making them closed-source, adding malware, etc.Also no one thought people would be so retarded they'd download them.How does open-source fix this? You can't sue them, they have virtually infinite freedom to do illegal shit on computers like hacking/cp/malware/scams because they live in third-world countries.
>>492772481I think he is mad about the custom build made to run that Simpson Bowling game.
>>492773932And overall his hatred of the open-source as a concept, hence his desire to seek the most obscure and restrictive licence possible.
>>492675840I managed to run nearly all games on a first gen i5, I assume yours is better.

so whats the deal with the simpsons bowling shit and duckstation? did stenzek just have a shitfit because someone built duckstation to make it work or is there some bigger issue
>>492782860He's just a bad person and in his head is in an imaginary war against his own users. He refuses to add things out of spite so someone else making it available sent him over the edge. But he goes over at least once a week so business as usual.

we probably can all agree that the best developer in PCSX2's history is Refraction, who despite being a retard, is much less of a retard than stenzek and even if the latter's work on QT and Vulkan is welcome, it's Refraction's input that's the most important ever since the early days of the emulator, besides it's him who modernized most of the codebase and make the emulator actually good, stenzek just jumped into the bandwagon when it was almost ready

today I found out there are a lot of emulation frontends on Patreon, besides RetroArch which everybody already knows I found>RetroPie>Provenance EMU>EmuDeck>LaunchBoxthese projects are basically profiting off of other people's work, how is that allowed? and more importantly who are the people supporting these?

>>492904590freetards
>>492904590>how is that allowed?stenzek set the example. We only followed.
>>492904590gpl allows that, and yeah, devs get mad all the time, specially since the mongoloids who use these love filling unrelated bug reports when these projects fuck up
>>492875637English, motherfucker.
>>492904590I've never used it and don't really care about the snoyboy fancy frontends but apparently LaunchBox has always been legit and pretty good at what it does. It's just a frontend too I think? It's not actually holding any cores or emulators from anyone else, unlike RA. It's just a fancy interface to launch gamers and emus from.Lots of Decktards gets here sometimes to ask about emudeck lol

>>492932620I bought a 1650 Super at the time, because just like >>492934273, it was one of the few GPUs I could find when 970 died during COVID.

is there a ps2 black magic reason why cheats in pcsx2 are a pain in the ass, or is it another case of "this is a very old and cobbled together emulator, and no one has bothered reworking this antiquated system into something modern like every other emulator uses"
>>493030294It's just that user patching the res super high. Performance is unchanged after that PR.

>>493038891I figured>>493039602damn what's that tab called under the one you're on right now
>>493043613Yeah the cheats which work the same way as the patches (as both are effectively cheat codes)
>>493044520am I missing a button to "download cheat table online" or something? because the emulator has patches preloaded to enable/disable easily, but that is not the case for cheats. I'd have to make my own pnach file, since as far as I can tell, no one else has bothered to make one. if it was as easy as just putting cheat codes in a text file with the game id as the filename or something I wouldn't mind, but the fact I have to go through all this code decryption stuff too is way too much effort for just editing my coin count
>>493045539gamehacking.org is a huge help, saves me the hassle of having to manually make my own pnatch files.
>>493046042oh shit there's a download button on the individual game page, that's way easier.

The input lag in duckstation has improved significantly. Kyuutenka has gone from unplayable to at least decent. It's still not perfect but at least a step in the right direction. Unfortunately PCSX2 inherited the same bad code but with no one left working on it it'll likely never be fixed.
Ok, so what's the real reason that Duckstation was (illegally) relicensed?
>>493084171For fun

>>493106249lol and lmao
>>493083157I don't think pcsx2 is that laggy.
>>493109212It is. It's the same borderline broken QT implementation that causes 10+ milliseconds of input lag and dropped inputs. Play the snowboard level in Kao the Kangaroo: Round 2.

>>493116176Thanks lying Don. Pretending a problem doesn't exist always fixes it. Like Covid.
Why does "Compiling PPU Modules" take so long when starting a game with RPCS3? I have to wait 5+ minutes before the game starts despite having an i7.
>>493116487Or maybe your shit is fucked on your end? Because I'm definitely not lying. In term of input lag I know I can for sure rank PCSX2 much higher than Ryujinx, especially in DX11. And I would definitely notice dropped inputs too. Never happened to me ever and if it did consistently I wouldn't have beaten so many hard games 100% on the emu.
>>493116781>having an i7.From 2008? Of course that will take a while..
>>493117079So you're lying AND mentally ill. What a winning combination. thankfully though it's largely been fixed in duckstation regardless of whatever you pull out of your ass. PCSX2 gets the short end of the stick because the real devs bailed and left the useless hangers on to babysit a dead project and ban people for hurting their feelings on discord.

OTOH I see they have WASAPI defaulted, and it seems to work a lot better than I remember it. Remember it being crackly and breaking on lower buffering settings where I can now set it to 0 with seemingly no consequences and no frame pacing breakup. I guess thanks for that, Danny.
>>493123846It sucks. But here are some tips for the future, applicable not only to RetroArch, but to any software out there:>Not all applications benefit from constant updating; RetroArch doesn't. Stick to stables, as their nightlies are famous for breaking often. You're risking much for little in return.>Always backup whatever files you judge as important.>Consider setting some scripting tool to adjust text files and save you some trouble. Sed works fine.>Even so, don't rely too much on automation. As time passes on, you may forget how to do things manually, which might prove necessary in some situations.
How do I know which version of a game I should be resulating, especially when it comes to Ninty shit? For example, Wii U version of BOTW is best versus the Switch version because of Cemu but what about other games like Bayonetta 2, Donkey Dingdong Tropical Freeze (available on both systems), etc? Cemu I hear is a shit emu outside of BOTW so..
>>493129297*UTAH
>>493132684Always original system, unless we are talking CEMU as you mentioned. It's really good for BOTW, specially with all the patches, but Wii U ports on Switch are 1:1 and Ryujinx is a better emulator.
>>493133392not always true btw. wii versions of gamecube games are better + the addition of dolphin being good emulator
>>493133392>>493134171Uhhhh.. basically stay away from Cemu then?
>>493134886yee
>>493134171>wii versions of gamecube games are betterthey are usually the same shit, some with motion gimmicksbut still the same emulator, not hard to go wrong, just check if there's extra content
>>492932620it's not much better but the 1660 had 6gb vram

I think the real reason he stays open source is purely a question of reputation, which these days would be very much frowned upon.

I want to emulate Ape Escape but if I recall correctly, the games were very reliant on the use of dualshock motion inputs. Do any of the PS1 emulators translate the sticks of a regular Windows Xbox controllers into PS1 analog inputs effectively?

-HOARD GAMES-NEVER PLAY GAMES-LET BIT ROT DESTROY HOARDED GAMES-START HOARDING AGAIN
>>493286752 bit rot is a hoax
>>493287575not for optical mediaI lost some Win 9x games to this shit
>>493287575Nah it is real. If you make a hash check of your files and compare them two years later you are gonna get mismatches. It is one of the reasons hoarding is just stupid since you are forced into constant backups and checking hashes.
nothing stays forever, sonnot even your precious 1 and 0s

>>493289385>c'mon, T R Y I T !

Bit rot in backups happens, although it's not as harsh as a few people say. Just take some precautions:>Use a proper storage device. If you don't want to spend time and money to get the best possible solution, a good-enough option is using an external HDD (mechanical, not solid-state).>Format said drive using a stable and mature filesystem, like NTFS or Ext4. Avoid FAT and exFAT, they're unstable and should be used for speed and simplicity-related tasks, not archival ones.>Properly store your drive. Excessive heat, cold, humidity and sunlight are detrimental to basically any electronic (and more). Also, no physical shocks, treat them well.>Use a specialized tool to backup your files, as regular file transfer not always preserve file integrity. For example, I use rsync.>If the transfer happens over a network, be extra careful, as many protocols focus on speed, delegating integrity to the background. Network hiccups are also a problem. Choose transfer methods that ensure the file was properly sent and received.Following that, I've successfully managed personal backups for more than 15 years. It helps having a second backup disk for contingency reasons. And be sure to check for hdd smart data so you know when to get a new drive.Finally, don't hoard. The more you have, the bigger the chance for a fuck-up. Only keep the data you're real interested in.

>>493290914No rsync equivalent for Windows?
>>493287575Bruh. Nintendo potentially lost tons of proto assets to bitrot. In the 2020 leaks there was an archive of tape backups from their Sony NEWS workstations. This is where all the neat SNES-era proto sprites came from. Included was a listing of their tapes and the backup status. Only 7 of like 42 were readable apparently.

>>493295531You don't have to pout just because you're ignorant on the matter. Just hide the posts and reply to something other.>>493295628Dang, bro. I don't have the same experience with Windows, but, if you want something similar and open-source, I've heard good things about FreeFileSync, although I've never used it.What I used for Windows (and Linux) was Duplicati, a small server-client backup tool, very versatile and easy to use. I used it during 4 years in a company I worked for, and no files were corrupted during that time. However, all transfers were local, not through a network, so I don't know how the software fares in that regard. As a negative (or not, depending on your point of view), Duplicati only outputs compressed containers, not the raw file, so you need to use the application to restore a backup.
>>493290914So there are these porn CD's from 2000s and prior which were collected by my dad back in the days, somewhere in the storage facility. Their existence was known to me but never bothered to go through and pop one in my puter. Now the question at hand is; how badly do you think the bits have degraded over the years? As for the storage condition, the discs remain well kept in a tailor made CD collection case, which itself is stowed away in a tightly shut armarium.
>>493296821uh, bro? the game has a pc version.
>>493298026>how badly do you think the bits have degraded over the years?Frankly, it's hard to know. The only surefire way to know was having a healthy checksum table for the files, but that's overkill for trivial backups. Otherwise, viewer discretion is the only way: do the videos look alright to you? If you've never seen them or has no good memory, then it's also worthless.I think some video formats refuse to play the video if something is wrong, but others play whatever they can (resulting in nasty artifacts), making you question "is it really like this or was there some degradation?". In your favor, since the CDs are from the 2000s, there's a decent chance of them being good quality, preserving the data better; modern optical media cheapens out as much as they can on the recording layer and accompanying substrates. Your CD reader, normally, will do its best to correctly read the data, but, if it's still no dice, it will skip that part and continue on. The resulting file might be not what it originally was. Since they're just porn videos, it's worth a shot.

PS2 emulation has come a long way but I still have this awful texture flicker, especially(though not exclusive to) any kind of text decals, see the cars or that sign in this webmIs this actually how it was on PS2?Any way to get rid of this in PCSX2?
>>493312191Looks like some floating point shenanigans causing z fighting. No idea how to fix it. What version of pcsx2 is that?
>>493312191I dunno mane have you actually tried to fix it? Different APIs? All the texture filtering settings? GS compatibility settings? Don't make download it...
>>493312460Newest nightly but I have this for years with a bunch of versions>>493312903I threw the kitchen sink at it some years ago, thought I'd just ask before I try doing that again
>>493312191Also would be cool if someone could post a webm or link a video with one of these spots just to show me it works for others. Not that I wouldn't believe a fellow anon's word but just for certainty
>>493312191Very common in older games and usually smoothed out by vasline, scanlines, dithering, etc. Not sure about GTA III specifically though.
>>4933131011x and/or software too?
>>493313473I remember my Radeon 9700 would render games wtih z-fighting like this fairly regularly. I wondered if my card was fried at times. Nope. Just shitty programming or drivers.
>>493312191First Youtube video I clicked seems to have similar issues, see ambulancehttps://youtu.be/_aMC_-0l7Vk?t=840
>>493299953I have obviously never seen the motion pictures in person, I wasn't meant to. Other than that I do have to mention we are talking about pre-dvd era where media was still being circulated through CDs. I kinda wager the source must have been in interlaced format, but this is something that I will have to confirm in mpv. Although they are really old I'm still hoping they will be in readable state since they were stored in pretty solid condition. Will track the case down at a later point and retrieve the antiquated goon material. Thank for the assistance.

>>493321443No problem. You can also use a software for extracting an ISO from the CD, instead of reading it multiple times, if you think the disc is too old.
>>493312191Just tried on real hardware and it doesn't happen, it's probably either a upscaling glitch or something related to blending accuracy. Try software mode.

Why does Duckstation keep saying analog mode disabled when it still works fine? I can use analog and digital in this game no problem.

>>493337390Duckstation has an option activated by default where in digital only games the D-pad is also mapped on the stick so you can use it.
Isn't it mandatory to build an emulator on linoox first and foremost?
>>493338401I think per game settings in general are broken because I played True Pinball and I get an OSD message saying "upscaling disabled by per game settings" but it's not. It still works and the screen is fucked up and vibrating.

why are saturn ports of model 2 games so bad? aren't the saturn and model 2 hardware equivalent?
>>493470929>aren't the saturn and model 2 hardware equivalentNo, you are probably thinking of Dreamcast and NAOMI
So I finally tested paraLLEl-GS. Lots of screenshoot incoming.
First test, Shadow Hearts.Base pcsx2 software mode.
paraLLEIGS native.
paraLLEIGS 2XSSAA
paraLLEIGS 4XSSAA
HIGHER
paraLLEIGS 8XSSAA
Finally, good old Vulkan hardware.
A complementary test on Armored Core 2, less screenshoot this time.First, base software mode.
How's performance?
And finally, Vulkan HW.My verdict so far, it's a software mode that run on the GPU. You can use SSAA to blur the fuck out of everything 3D. On my 3060 laptop, framerate was rock solid, but, my gpu usage was maxed the fuck out with 8xSSAA, but only on a full 3D game like GT3. Not sure, if it supposed to go that high, or it's bug, lack of optimisation, my driver/gpu shiting themselves.I still get a last test with a 2D game this time.
So, Atelier Marie+Elie. First the title screen.Software mode.
pareLLEIGS 1xnative
Vulkan HW.There is actually some subtle differences between the three renders in the way the text is displayed.
After gluing my eyes on the screen, I spotted the diffrences: paralleilGS smooth the edge of the letter and Vulkan do some weird relief effect on it.
Last test, promise. Atelier Marie+Elie, ingame.Software.
Does any emulator let you actually get Excalibur ii in FF9? I've seen a bunch of people say in Duckstation it doesn't. Apparently because it's based on the in game timer that's tied to the CPU somehow and in duckstation it's a bunch of junky simulations and guesses with no actual timing. So maybe the in game timer never even starts or it's running way too fast.
paraLLEIGS 1xnative
>>493479991If it's running too fast you can just leave the game on for ~2 years(real time) and the in-game time will reset to 00:00.
>>493479538just zoom nigga

Cutey Fatty made in 2002 by Wecom.A korean vertical shoot 'em up. A girl named 'Cutey Fatty' weighs over 100kg but she really wants to be a super model. So she has to lose weight fighting her favourite foods around the town. Her enemies are hamburgers, chocolate cookies and ice creams and so on. She should defeat the enemies and lose weights with getting vegetables and fruits in every stage. While the game playing, the scale is indicating her real time weights and she can lose weight more easily with intensive exercises if she finds secret door. And Toto her pretty dog helps to defeat the enemies.Unfortunately the game is extremely rare and has never been dumped online. Though several copies are known to be in the hands of private collectors involved with MAME. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4jDFdpusdA
