The fuck happened?
>>540404749If you don't post in the thread it will fall off the board.*pikachu shocked face*
>>540406378It's gone longer than that without falling off, and nigger I'm doing my part.
I wish emudevs still posted here. It was kino.
emulation always wins
>>540411305>probably outsourced>probablyI'd bet it's that Australian studio that already made the lazy Zelda remasters (which tendies think are great and gladly pay for)
>>540411305The rough surface is in no way the perfect geometric patterns in Mario 3 you absolute schizoid. The clouds being dithered never looked good, either. The rest, sure, maybe. Who'd buying Switch 2 shit anyway? No one who cares.
You have to keep in mind these are the pigs they're slopping. They don't care about a texture being a little different.
>>540403179I swear to god RPCS3 crashes a lot.
Every single remaster or port sacrifices some sort of effect or logic. Maybe you get something that makes up for the loss, maybe you don't.
I think the comparisons to Mario 3 and Sonic (lmao) are pure schizo nonsense that make your argument seem stupid, you should maybe reconsider your infographic. That said, the Smash stage has the rough textures too and is probably its intended look.
Any switch forks not ran by schizos and/or trannies yet? Or is everyone still just using the last build of ryujinx and yuzu
>>540421338Nope!
>>540412367>>540414452>always the same Switch 2 shill seething about the comparisonWhat's even "PURE SCHIZO" about mentioning that platformers do squares since ever? And it's likely the same reason for both: technical constraints developers ended up leaning into for stylization.If you aren't a tendie Shitch 2 shill, just take the W and stfu.
>>540404747The paintbrush effect looks nice at 1080p, why doesn't the remaster have it?
>>540422965because it's not the same graphical flourish as Mario 3's patterns and it's a retarded reach, dude. I'm not saying to buy it. I don't think anyone should buy it, or games at all really. I'm saying you look fucking silly with that comparison.
>asking 4chan morons to discern and not be lightswitch brainedWhy do I bother?
anyone got that pic of endrifts tubby hands gripping a gba cart? i need a laugh.
>heh, emulation winsGreat. It won. You'll never convince the eternal collectoid.
Is Sonic Racing Crossworlds running at any Switch emulator?
>>540426567Oh boy, a Sonic game. That's a penalty against a successful Switch emulation roll for sure. I'll find out later, though.
>>540424812>because, like, it's not 1:1 the same dudeThis strawman doesn't change that platformers use oddball patterns since ever and that it makes sense to point this out before a tendie/retard like you feigns confusion about why Galaxy would do that.And you are the only one who looks silly and schizo when pretending to hate Nintendo while defending their next rush job.
>>540427693Yes. I'm a tendie. I'm a tendie for daring to tell you it's not the same look. Gaze at my funkopop collection, and despair. There. I'm the person you need me to be now. I hope that helps. You fucking idiot.
>>540411305This is some Ivan-tier schizophrenia.
Couldn't at all just be trying to help you form a better argument. I even gave you another on-brand screenshot from another game to HELP you argue AGAINST the Switch 2 port, stupid.

>>540429393Nope. It was someone else that time. lmao, okay. I'm a brownoid humping leftist now too because I didn't agree with you whole-cloth. Fucking freak.
>>540429393I also love the state of Israel. AND Palestine! Somehow I'm two completely different douchebags! Also, check out my furry gooner discord that troons out kids. Anything else we can add because the fucking waffle surface isn't Mario 3 patterns?
>>540429580>>540429736Gonna reply a third time? Every general needs to have one local schizo it seems.
>>540430235How is calling you wrong and sticking to it schizophrenic?
>>540428736Shit's clean, but I respect your choice to keep your peace of mind. Also, these threads have really gone to shit.https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/42fb22d6f2acb68c83503b408db49853b076c759330b8114bca93c1a1b28e35e
>>540430625Yeah. Yeahhh. It's either Ivan, someone Ivan-esque, or Ciggy going scorched-earth because the narrative's going against him. We know he's been at it for at least 5 years now. Someone probably needs to tell StrikerX3 to lock up tight because the Cable Guy's on his case.
>>540430625Ever consider making a proper fork and putting it on github?
>>540430392Being a spamming, samefagging, strawmanning leftoid who calls people Ivan and defends things he hates is schizo.
>>540430730I'll never understand how these people can keep their shitflinging going for so long without getting bored. I took a long break from these threads and thought it'd be better by now.>>540431192I don't know a lick of code, anon, it wouldn't work. I just tried to follow Themaister's instructions to build this, then failed, then iterated repeatedly, then checked Stack Overflow for people with similar building-related questions, then managed to get it right after a couple dozen tries. At least I think my building instructions are simple enough for anyone to follow.>>540431823Cute girl.
>>540432091you're still wrong
Let me reiterate: do not use that build.
>>540432324No, platformers use funny textures since ever and it makes sense to point this out before a tendie/retard like you feigns confusion about why Galaxy would do that. You are mentally ill (like all pass users and jannies) and should take a 4chan break from time to time.
>>540433306>funny texturesI don't think that's the word you're looking for.
>>540433306>ill/wrongNo. It's, if anything, a detail texture layer to add some semblance of grit to a low VRAM system that would look like borderline N64 paste otherwise. It's not le wacky pattern with crystal clear tesselation like Mario or Sonic.>breakProbably. The 86box guy and whoever uses exclamation points a lot (perhaps the same person?) are the only decent people in here.
>>540430625>Also, these threads have really gone to shit.I stopped posting for a few weeks, sorry.
>>540431823fuck you
>>540433535Yes it is and your PS1 game obviously isn't doing the same thing even _if_ there is some shared technical lineage that SMG leans into. The remaster fucks up way more than just some faint dithering.>>540434074>replying to me twice again>still crying because of a Sonic picture
Who is the biggest lolcow?
>>540437876You're better off asking that question on at least two different altchans.
>>540312607>Can we have BizHawk?>*We have BizHawk at home.*>(BizHawk at home.)
>>540436153The new version is missing a secondary layer of detail-textures. If you properly identify the problem people will take your criticism of the new version more seriously. It's not a reference to bing bing sonic patterns. That screenshot proves it.
>>540440557It's a process, the remaster isn't out yet, and the picture you've been upset about for hours highlights both the missing obvious details and the subtle checkerboarding. Is it lazy and shitposty? Yes. Does everyone with a brain still get it? Yes. You could've made a better "Infographic" in the time you were bitching but you are a useless human.
>>540442491You cannot play the "more mad and thus le more wrong than me" card when you made a protest sign for the stupid game and can't let it go either.

>>540443138Nice. Beast Busters is the only good thing on there so I hope it works.
>>540426567Seems work alright in Eden with async compilation and res boosting. Limited to 30fps at the moment, though. Didn't crash after a few races but it's UE4 so you never knowwww.
I want one of these memefork devs jailed with only programming resources to read until they get good enough at core CPU/GPU emulation and find out why Yuzu eats so much shit at Sonic Frontiers.
>>540443138>64mb of texture memoryThis just about defies belief for a system with such primitive 3D graphics. 3D accelerators much stronger than this had less memory. 64mb wasn't even common among enthusiasts til the early 2000s. It sure doesn't look like 64mb of textures on screen in any game.
@the86boxguyHere's a version of Alleycat with the enhanced Tandy color palette enabled, even on EGA/VGA. It will also play the 3-channel audio on any system capable of it, and fall back to the PC speaker otherwise.https://files.catbox.moe/v1b315.7z

Kuro no Danshou - The Literary Fragment (Japan). Corrupted FMV in ymir and Mednafen.
I'm so lost on how to play Front Mission 1 on the SNES patched.Everything besides the original JP version seems to be nuked when I spent half an hour googling.I found out about the addendum patch for the 1.0b English patch, so I tried to patch my JP copy with the 1.0b english patch.But then my checksum hashes dont match to what the addendum wants.I looked for a pre-patched 1.0b but it seems like its disappeared.I did literal "" searches for the md5 and crc for a pre-patched 1.0b, but nothing besides retro achievements with no links.I found one site but it's a web emulator, and it's tagged as "bad dump." I also got a .smc file, instead of an .sfc? I can't find anything on myrient despite a reddit thread saying its there?This shits confusing as fuck man. I just wanna play Front Mission 1 as God intended it. Help?
>>540459671Are you interested in mister results at all? I know it's not something everyone can just download and play, but it's at least another emulator and may have unique results. It may also be something for devs to copy or learn from, as those cores are open source as well.
>>540461620https://myrient.erista.me/files/Internet%20Archive/chadmaster/En-ROMs/En-ROMs/Nintendo%20-%20Super%20Famicom%20%5BT-En%5D%20Collection%20%2825-07-2024%29.zip
>>540462097Yeah sure. The idea of paid emulation is abhorrent to me though.
>>540462370I get it. It is what it is. I got it as a bit of a CRT toy but incidentally found it has a few unique perks.
It may come to pass that the FPGA paypig scene may somehow incentivize advancement in free emus. I hope it trickles down anyway.
>>540459671A few things, that's not an FMV, it's actually just some scrolling 2D layers. It's also a composite mesh for the foggy foreground layer, cleared up pretty handily with the right shader. Your example video's capture almost surely has some sort of blur in the capture/encoding chain to make it look normal. Sadly, Ymir's dithering algo doesn't catch it as it's the weird jailbar kind.
I'm pretty sure how it'll look on my TV + Mister is it'll show some faint signs of the composite mesh as I'm using a component cable, then go away once I turn on the core's fake composite blur. No real need, though. The results are pretty much already in the last post.
>>540462207Thank you brother.
>>540464270>>540464142>>540462370I tested it on the CRT + Mister anyway, though. On the TV, even with the fake composite blur off, it's like 90% right. Just goes to show much a CRT TV helps with this stuff even with a sharper signal. Mister to HDMI + LCD, however, looks like Ymir and Beetle w/o a shader, then looks like the shader when I turn the fake-blur on.
>>540466259I consider that a bug. If a game's graphics are completely broken because of a missing feature, IE shaders, it's a bug.
>>540466934A Saturn with a high quality signal to a flat panel would do the same thing. Please update your ticket with that. I'd love to see his interpretation of this 'bug'. Maybe he'll implement a new blur type or shaders if you're lucky.

Playing Wind Waker on Dolphin enhanced to 4k with the HD texture pack. The game looks absolutely gorgeous. Nintendo can suck a dick thinking I'm going to be buying a Switch 2 for a subpar experience

>mame needs a new romset every update>mame devs change release schedule to a new update every few weeks for no reasonThis is horseshit
>>540466934No, it's a feature request. Ymir is a Saturn emulator. It's doing what a Saturn does. Way to show you don't actually care and trolling is actually your game, you fucking slime.
>>540480203>full of bugs that make things crash and didn't exist in citra>last update a week agoThis shit is so dead dude, they probably started using AI to code since it wasn't like this at the first release
and there he is, poor guy's wondering if it's the stupid CD block instead of just how Saturn outputs the video because you didn't update your findings. Again.
>>540484176You can make this a lot easier on yourself by googling "mame (version) sooner" and getting just the new roms you need off this RetroRoms site. You can then put it in a folder named after that version, and tell mame.ini to look in that folder as well. I have mine set up to look at 272, 273, 274, etc.
>>540486572>no longer has the MEGA link>bda requires login>PM me for the MEGA link if you need it :^) Well nevermind this site went to shit. Anyway if you find just the new ROM updates somewhere, you can just put them in separate folders and link them in the ini.
https://pleasuredome.github.io/pleasuredome/mame/Only has a few of the latest MAME update ROMs, and you'll need a torrent client (use Tribler), but no sign-in, "I hid the key in my pants and you have to find it :^)" PMs necessary.
I clearly need to make a compilation of all the megalinks for updates from RetroRoms. The old ones are still there but you have to log in. Scumfucks.
Guess its my fault for being a out of touch poorfag and sticking with AMD. I read that this only happens because AMD didn't support D24 depth which a lot of Switch games use. Game runs alright so far outside the clouds tearing, haven't made it past the first town. Happens for base final update Ryujinx and latest Citron.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkzHC6B1bKYNeat. DOS games with redbook audio, that couldn't be run in Win9x + Daemontools, previously needed discs or nothing. Shame it's a paid, boutique hardware solution that will probably be in limited supply, though.
>>540506869*on real hardware, of course. Redbook via emulation is trivial, even in pure DOS.

>>540511053Merge PGS.
I found a neat Android game, haven't run the .apk but it's missing a lot of assets.Probably one of those that installs a huge update after you launch it.Is there a way to get the game (or at least, all the files) if the game is dead and removed from the app store?
>>540520374I'm not a mindreader.
It depends on whether anyone archived all the local files post-install or repacked it into an apk, if it truly needs a servers-ide update. Wutgame
>>540520687Revolve8I found an apk from a Sega archive but it's like 80mb and only has the default Unity assets (+icons n stuff)

>>540523721No that anon.It's from that Alexpwi dude, trannydevs get butthurt with him because he simply does regular, verifiable tests on their switch emu forks, he got tired of the trannies shouting at him and told them to fuck off.

I've got an old fightstick that has ps2, gamecube and xbox outputs. If I wanted to get an adapter to use this on PC, which avenue would be best?

>>540526934Drivers? Newer/better Nvidia GPU with more RAM? If you have an iGPU you may be able to allocate more RAM to it.
>>540526934Works on my ayy too. Maybe it's that particular stage? I just downloaded this late game save and jumped in to test it.
>>540546741I would guess an Xbox-to-USB adapter would be the closest to a lag/trouble free 'dumb' conversion. I think Windows just sees those as a generic dinput HID controllers. Then you could use a wrapper like x360ce or Gamepad Phoenix if you really need it to be xinput.
You know, it's been a while since anything relevant from that schizographic came up. Looks like I'll have to change that.

Here's the PS1 version. I opened suckstation for the first time in months and the amount of useless garbage in the auto updater crashed the whole thing. Shine on Crazy Horse.
Truly amazing.
I'll just make a throwaway and update your tickets on github for the dev to see when I get around to it. You're unemployable or too spiteful to work with.

>>540603960I have to because you won't.
and yeah, someone should probably send the guy fair warning about your behavior. Not sure if I'm there yet, I'd rather just update your tickets because you're too lazy or spiteful.
>>540604248Do it.
Remember when you were dismissing Ymir and insulting it because you were too dumb to use it? I remember.
>>540604741Where are the updates? Are you going to "own me" or not?
It's just a pain in the ass, is all. I work. You wouldn't get it, and I have to watch my opsec because you're a psychopath.
Jesus christ. I'll never complain about ciggy again. He could be doing this shit every day.
>>540605256Sounds like there won't be any updates.
>>540605207It's not about owning you. I was trying to help you, but you're both doubling down on it being a bug when it's hardware behavior, and not helping the dev who is questioning you about the 'problem.' It's hardware behavior, and you didn't update. The dev has been kind enough to approach you in good faith and ask you if it's something unrelated causing the "problem", and you haven't answered him. Why engage with us if you're just gonna wipe your ass with it anyway? It's better help and more accurate than most people you could pay.
>>540605472He's fucking sick. More and more I think Stenzek was justified. Imagine dealing with at least 3 people of this psychopathic sub-genre on top of a thousand thirdies and kids.
Another day another rpcs3 regression.
>>540605472And people bitch about reddit? At least the mods actually do something compared to the useless jannies.
>>540606032Even if they were active and not lazy useless trash, the issue is spamming has never been this low-effort. Anyone who's mentally ill and spiteful enough can set up a bot and ban evade. This warrants a range ban at this rate, though admittedly I don't know how effective that would be. It's just too easy in a place that is both anonymous and requires no registration.
>>540605574I don't even know what the fuck you're talking about. Github's an open platform you can post whatever you want there.
>>540607029Shut up, you gaslighting faggot. You're such a cowardly worm.

>>540607538Are you going to tell me or not?
Have you ever hurt anyone in real life, thelastangryman1907? I bet anything your parent(s? but you reek of single parent) are scared shitless of you. You are probably a mix of obligation and some sort of fear of reprisal for them. You're sick.
>>540607613What's the point? You never engage truthfully.
>>540607873Well you started this conversation. If you won't tell me then you'll have to wait until the issues are thinned out more and it gets taken care of.
>>540608128Yeah, yeah. Just give me like 15 minutes of free time to make sure you won't post my home address and family.
>>540608178Or just tell me and I'll look at it?
>>540608249The kuro no danshou issue you fucking dummy.
>>540608298With the broken text? Do you actually think it's meant to look like that?
>>540608501So yeah, I'll just have to make that account. Fun times.
Oh that's Pitograph or whatever it's called. This is the one with the fucked up fog.
>>540608685Yes. We discussed this. It's a composite mesh that looks fine on a TV or a shader. The Saturn would spit out that screen on any clean signal + digital display. You should probably hint him to this so he's not fucking about with the CD block. Even if you want it as a feature.
>>540483150That's the least offensive screenshot you could've picked. This remaster looks fucking ass, they didn't even try.
>>540520374Only if you find the apk+data/obb somewhere. Also what's this? Some gacha slop?
I want to let you know, that all shitposting aside, I *do* want to work with you and have a curiosity about this stuff. I don't care about defending the devs' honor. I don't care about owning you, or even your drama/lying stuff all that much. I'm just autistic about what the problems actually are, and I don't want your feelings regarding the shitposts or the devs to get in the way of solving it.
Is Azahar the best 3ds emulator rn?

>last pablo contribution to azahar was a month agolol he really "united" the fork devs just to add his baby boy Artic Base and dipped huh?>>540612914>>540617363The only relevant thing Azahar brings to the table is a few optimizations that make the emulator lighter in some cases but Azahar has bugs that weren't in Lime or Citra and Azahar Plus is just Azahar with .3ds support. If you have a computer that can tank the performance just use Lime until whatever AI the Azahar devs are using gets competent enough to stop making new bugs every new commit
>>540630951Also lol i just realized that Yuzu got taken down because they told people how and where to get keys so Nintendo can 100% take down Azahar because of Artic Base
>>540495371cool
>>540626324I cannot believe what mess this caused. Fucking chopdicks, man. This talented dude nearly quit because of their shit.
>>540628452>was fucking with you btwI like the director's cut :(>I've never heard of Deathtrap Dungeon but it's probably shit based on the rest of his post.It is tomb raider fantasy edition with ballbusting difficulty and a scantily clad female.>until whatever AI Considering AI is getting worse i think it is gonna get worse.
>>540629368Now that I look at that, I don't know if I buy "320x240" there, there's pixels are real skinny and stretched vertically. Perhaps some clue as to what's going on with SSF and Ymir? Some res reporting issue vs the internal render?
>>540584268Graphics cards, APIs, and drivers, are hacks all the way down. It's a wonder things work as well as they do.
>>540618949>PC version of Deathtrap Dungeon has all logic locked to 16fps w/ no source port or hack to circumvent thisLSFG maybe, but ew. On console, this game's also one of those "PAL or NTSC?" situations because it was developed by bongs, so it may be that the slower PAL version is the intended speed.
>>540412695hate those thin TVs they feel so fragile>>540408371wouldn't emugenners chase them away by telling them to kill themselves
>>540629729That's how I played it. Use some downsampling and a CRT shader with it, and up the CD-ROM speed and you have a good time. I wish PS1 games had doorskip hacks for emulated machines with overclocks/speedups.
finally found out how to get the covers, it looks so much better but i still need to unpack some and convert others.any recommendation for PS2 ?
>>540645057Dragon Quarter. It looks kinda bad but it's a neat game.
Technic Beat is one of the weirdest rhythm games I've played, but it's fun. A lot of classic Namco game remixes.
Both Shinobi and Kunoichi/Nightshade.
>>540645057>Spyro Enter the DragonflyWho the fuck would recommend this?
>>540650113yea i read that it isn't great or outright bad but i liked spyro on ps1 and played all 3 of them recently so i wanted to atleast give each one on the ps2 a try at the very least, if not too bad i would finish them.
I need more multi emu shovelware issues.
>>540650396I got it on release. Even forced my parents to get me a PS2 for that game. The game was ok for the first few levels but then the shittieness reared its ugly head. It was very buggy. There's 1 level where it freezed a lot so I don't know how emulation handles that.
>>540651162I think some of those games froze because they were a little overzealous on the data streaming. I remember Metroid Prime being a little unstable on a real GC.
>>540645057You could add some Fatal Frame (I-II-III) if you dig some survival horror. Some Armored Core (A fuck ton of them) if you dig mechas and pain (fromsoft game pre-Souls) and some XenoSaga for more weird JRPG. Some Final Fantasy for more maintream.
>>540645057>Odin SphereYou could probably stand to play the remaster for this one if you can handle PS3, PS4, or Vita emulation. Its one of the few good vidya remasters out there since it also contains the original game if you don't like the changes.
>>540651735Not too much in horror with jank controls, liked resident evil when they got the controls right-really dont think i would appreciate fixed horror.armored core, could be an interesting option so ill keep an open mind and check it outFF i got most of them on PC so no reason to get it for emulators.Xenosaga, ill give it a look>>540645343the art looks weird, but ill give it a try since you seemed to like it maybe ill be suprised as well>>540651958wait so the odinsphere on vita/ps4 is the remake ? i didn't even know ahah, thought it was a sequel, didn't even google it
>>540652445>Dragon QuarterIt shines in a few ways. It's short, but it also expects you to have to start over at least once with some stats/knowledge held over from the last run. It's a bit Dead Rising-esque in that way. The turn based, small-scale-SRPG style combat where you can move anywhere within a sphere per turn, with a ton of emphasis on your position and what attacks work where, is really well executed. You're also given an OP form to use in desperate situations, but once you use it all: that's it. It's game over. It also has a kickass Hitoshi Sakimoto (Radiant Silvergun, FFT, Vagrant Story) soundtrack that's extremely him.
>>540652445>XenosagaJust be sure to get the undub uncensored iso, game was heavily censored for the west. >odinsphere Yeah its a remake, they tweaked the gameplay a bit to make it a bit so its a bit easier than the original. The game also contains the original PS2 game so if you don't like that, you can play that one instead classic sprites and all.
>>540653243>>540651958What's actually the best version to resulate? As I understand it, the PS3 version is still elad'd with no fix or workaround. So how are the other two in comparison, emu-wise?
and if PS4, which shad fork? That's what I dread if I ever go back to Bloodborne or any PS4 emulation. It was mod/fork HELL to play that game the most ideal way.
>>540653346I would assume Vita emulation is somewhat decent enough to run that game since Muramasa Rebirth, done by the same company and team with similar art style, people say ran perfect but I haven't checked OS myself.
>>540653923Guess I'd also have to see how the various versions compare. Not much point in going Vita if they nerfed the textures to mush.
>>540653684bb runs fine on the mainline shad builds nowadays.
>>540654347is that godforsaken audio bug when the game's quit abruptly fix? I remember having to use diego's for that.
More Hyper NeoGeo 64 sound improvements in mame committed todayhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQd7xFBoor0

>fuck with various VI/RCP features in an attempt to regain clarity>they all have terrible drawbacks when disabled>just go back to all-on
>>540656418The one that's safe to disable is the fullscreen bilinear filter. It literally adds nothing but horizontal blur. At least the anti-aliasing serves a purpose.
>>540659154Yeah, it's one of the more subtle ones, sadly.
>>540654990It's nice to see MAME making improvements on stuff like this instead of focusing on slot machines and obscure old computers like they had been for years.
>>540661660Yeah MAME's more or less been in the dark ages since the mid 2000s til recently.
>downloading Sonic Frontiers for shadps4What am I in for? Any particular fork superior for UE4 games?
>>540664247You're in for a bad time, and Sonic Frontiers is a Hedgehog Engine game.
>>540664313Ah, for some reason I thought it was UE. Oops. Thanks.
>click around for the pkg install optionOhhh. That's right. They're faggots and removed that. Haha. Okay. Time to find whatever stupid tool I need to install the content anyway.
>>540666979Use a version of ShadPS4 with the PKG feature intact, then use the latest version.
When will MAME devs work on games that matter? Primal Rage is freaking 31 years old and still doesn't work right.
>>540667087I want to pry kyo's stupid furry faggot eyes open Clockwork Orange style and force him to watch as I install pkg after pkg of content I don't own.
>>540667223I believe the same dude behind Azahar-Plus also made a Plus fork of ShadPS4.
>>540667279>>540667087I appreciate the recs, but I figured it out. I wasn't really begging for help, just bitching really. It'll help other folks though, so still, thanks. This is so silly and if the corpos want your shit down, they'll take it down. These people live to spite their users more than anything. As bad as ciggy thought Stenzek was, he has nothing on next-gen emudevs.
>>540667092As much as I agree as it's crazy that it isn't done yet (even by the rights holders) I think we'll all just see it run correctly, say 'neat', and move on. It's a shitty game. I'm pretty sure the engineers implemented the security on a 'ludes bender and didn't write a bit of the schematic down.
>>540667978Semi-related, but that's the story behind Entombed's procedural generation. The guy literally programmed it while wasted on his ass.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxcExl49HLUand this is what they admit
>>540668154Not surprising, they had to have done drugs if they thought focusing on computers was a better idea than consoles.
>>540668110Oh, boomers. When they start clogging up nursing homes en masse it's gonna be the grossest shit ever. They'll never let the party go.
>>540668607Blame Commodore, they're the reason why the 7800 was such an underwhelming console.
>>540668664In fact, the 5200 was also supposed to come out earlier. Not that it would really matter in the 5200's case, since it was more-or-less a consolized Atari 8-bit.
I'm the anon who asked about DS emulation and games a couple of days ago.I tried MelonDS as recommended on my potato phone and it didn't work for shit. It would simply not run anything above 15 FPS and some games it wouldn't run at all basically.I tried Drastic as was also recommended just in case, and also because I noticed MelonDS didn't give me any configuration options unlike emulators in general.Drastic ran all the games I tested: Chrono Trigger, FE Shadow Dragon, Love Plus, Brain Training, Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution, Nintendogs, etc.It also gives me lots of options for config, and it seems to bring a built-in cheat database with it.10/10.
>>540682652I had no idea how MelonDS performed in phone-world. I just know it's the premium experience on PC and the only way to go for DSi. At least now I know it's suboptimal on Android. I don't think stapletroon maintains that version either, so it makes sense that it may not be fully featured on Android. Glad Drastic worked for you.
and yeah I was using Drastic on some Nexus back in 2014, I imagine it'll run on anything.
I can't stand the 'laggy' way aiming works in arcade Konami games, like if you aim from up to right, you'll slowly fire in diagonal increments toward the new direction for a moment. The arcade versions of Contra are like this, too.
why the fuck is this game not available on any rom site? the first collection is everywhere, but not a single site i know of has the second collection in english. i just want to play this goddamn seriesalso, fuck edia for only putting this on the switch

>>540690521tried that one. it's not real. it's japanese
>>540690594Hmm, I'm gonna try the update I found on nxbrew to see if that does anything. I've had a game or two stay Japanese until I do that.
Nope. I remember when I had a hacked switch there would be 'stores' or repos or whatever with some ROMs I couldn't easily find anywhere else. Maybe someone could check those for you.
>>540691121well thanks for checking anyway. it's so weird that everyone just totally passed that one up despite it getting an lrg release
Just beat the game SMB2US was based off of, it's not that bad aside from not being able to run. Instead of that faggot rock throwing crab boss you just fight the bomb throwing rat instead. There's a few minor differences in the map, like in 7-2 you can bypass an annoying part by power jumping over a column with any character, whereas in the NES version you can only do it with Luigi and Peach. Also the character Luigi was based on is a pregnant woman named Mama. The ending theme song is better than the one in the NES version.
>>540692686You should check out the SMB2 beta. It's an interesting in-between mix of DDP and the final SMB2 where running is still not implemented and potions are still lamps, but there's a couple other neat things not present in either version, most notably a unique rendition of the SMB underground theme. It also has a world select feature that was probably used for debugging, though the game doesn't indicate it. However, it's possible to select beyond world 7 and access glitch worlds with it.
>>540693479Thanks, gonna check it out tomorrow. Speaking of glitch worlds, try going to the minus world in the FDS version of SMB. It's completely different and spans a few levels.

>this russky forum Sonic Crossworlds hack only unlocks the frame rate in the menusOf course they fuck it up. It can't be that hard to do in an Unreal game. People uncap cutscenes in UE games all the time.

>>540698937These are the same types that'll justify full spectrum anarchist warfare against anyone opposing gender sickness but if you use unauthorized corpo code they are the goodest goys on earth.
I wonder, if big tech and the gaming industry walked back LGBT support, if emudevs would still be such copyright cops.

>>540696879When autism rates drop emulation will be the real victim.
>>540724915(cont.) the game doesn't have a widescreen hack on PC either. You can at least get it running in widescreen with some culling here and there in Beetle/Ducko
>>540723385Been waiting my whole life for this.
>>540403179I'm completely out of the loop. What state is Switch emulation in now, are development of Ryujinx or Yuzu still ongoing in any notable way through forks? Which is the best one?I still have some old working backups of various versions and games but am wondering if either still properly exists and is updated cause I have a random urge to try Legends Arceus.
>>540697663This new leak seems to have the Switch kernel source code among other things in it. Too bad most emudevs wouldn't touch such a thing.
>>540741665The Ryujinx fork are mostly dead and bring nothing new on the table: Use last Ryujinx OG release (Arceus work fine on it).The yuzu branch are still going on with Eden the one still developped.
>retroarch hdr option showed up after i updoted my phone to android 15Nice, how useful is it?
>>540742227And what are the improvements with Eden? I was mostly using Yuzu originally, is Eden a better choice than last OG Ryujinx?
Hello /emugen/, it's been a while, do you guys still talk about shaders? Any good CRT one recently?
>>540749824I don't use it but it seems that Guest-Advanced is the main CRT shader now
>>540750605And the madman is STILL adding features and optimizations to it to this day. Well, mostly to the NTSC version, but still.
When playing full 3D games do you guys still use CRT/LCD shaders or go to a increased resolution? (and maybe AA in the emulators that support it)
>>540697663all the png files are gitexternal strings, get back in there and extract everything before they wiretap the leakers
>>540753181I increase the fucking resolution.
https://www.youtube.com/@VirtualGamingLibraryThis channel has videos with short demonstrations of ALL available games for different consoles such as GBA, DS, PS1, PS2, etc.Pretty good if you're looking for good games outside the typical top lists that always have the same few games.
>>540753181Only use CRT shaders for 5th gen consoles/GBA/NDS and below
>>540697663Nintendo made leaks completely useless for emulation. Nobody will take this to make a new emulator or improve existing ones. Only a madman from Russia or China can do it but there were leaks already and nothing so what does this change for emulation? Nothing. Nintendo strikes fear in the hearts of emu devs.
>>540766623Yuzu already had the reputation of being build with stolen devkit (True or not I don't know).
I've gone through 2 xemu's and they've crashed on me eventually. For the first one, it was after I changed to widescreen on the xbox menu. For the second one, I don't know what happenned, but towards the end of a game (Ninja Gaiden Black) it just started crashing, either shortly after the game has booted, or a minute or 2 after I'm fully in the game and playing. It took quite a while before I ever encountered the issue. The first time was almost at the same point in the game. The second a bit later. Were I to guess this is related to the HDD file but I wouldn't know because I'm a pleb. Advice? The info in the troubleshooting page on the xemu website. I tried some trick particular to a windows 11 crashing issue but it didn't work.
>>540774697>The info in the troubleshooting page on the xemu website.Sorry I didn't finish that part because I tried the windows 11 thing then came back to typing this post, but what I was going to say was, the infor on the troubleshooting page doesn't look like it applies to my problem, thought I'm not really sure. There's some jargon in there and such I'm currently too much of a pleb to understand.
>>540775030>>540774697I think the windows 11 thing I tried only applied to crashes on start up.

>>540782073How ironic that MAME's gotten more meaningful updates.
>>540780702>>540780480People really shouldn't save interlacing shots midframe. It gives the impression that half the vertical resolution's missing and looks way worse than the content would without shading or on a CRT with interlacing in motion. You should probably implement some sort of compositing/blending in your shader/emulator rendering settings because it's probably closer to what you're seeing in play and people will just call your shader shitty looking. >>540780702This one has a whole lot more wrong with it and you have to be shitting us with this. >fucked geometry that doesn't fit the bezel>blurrier and more aliased and jagged than the original content>having shitty obnoxious bezels anywayyikes

>>540822901Game?
>>540796697>>540802867>haha we are pedophilesnice posts
>>540830220Paid emulation has worse artifacts and lag than the free stuff. It's trivial to use a computer in the living room. Lapdesk, HDMI cable to TV, wireless controllers/keyboards/mice. Or go for a minimal controller driven UI on boot. My main daily driving setup is in my living room.If you mean emu to CRT that can be done easily with an adapter if you don't care about 240p and native resolutions. It's more of a pain in the ass if you do care, though.
>>540795976Seriously, what issue?
>>540831625I hate that 'upscale' bothers me as much as it does. The proper words/phrasing are clumsy, though. Upres, uprender, upsample. I dunno. Upscale implies the same internal resolution gussied up and magnified to another resolution.
>>540843056Metroid Prime. Those go away if you fuck with GPU sync options and/or disable dual core. Recently they've disabled dual core by default and they'll likely stop improving it and may decide to rip it out altogether. A bit of a shame they can't just fix or rewrite it. That'll affect usability on lower end devices quite a bit.
How can I update 86Box?
>>540847504Downloading a new artifact and overwriting your previous falls, all manually. Beware, if you're going from a pre-5.0 version to a new one with the machine selector front-end, you may have to rebuild your virtual machine, but you can still use the old drive images.
>>540822901Do what said in the box, turn off Dual Core, it's a shit option that may have worked better in the past, but now it's just make most games crash. It was a performance option, but now PC can just brute force it in Single Core.
>>540847713Thanks. How can I configure the Internet connection on Windows Me?
>>540847849>It was a performance option, but now PC can just brute force it in Single Core.Single core performance is dogshit no matter what cpu you have. You are barely getting above original experience.Emu devs are hacks as usual.
>>540852712Oh god, I haven't touched any of the LAN shit. Maybe the guy compiling justwerx 86box compilations has. Now I kinda want to fuck with it. Modern Internet via 9x compatible browsers on a 400mhz guest and low memory will not be a good time; you'll pretty much be completely limited to novelty archives like theoldnet or oldnet.today. If you want to make an attempt at browsing the modern web you'll probably want to use some hacky retro community browser fork like K-Meleon or MyPal.
https://youtu.be/qZtNU-4yqtIGPU-ciggy can't keep getting away with it.
>>540854736Yeah, instead of doing what they should be doing and scrapping it for something that uses as many threads as possible, the current UX discord gooners are just walling it off. >dual-coreProbably some code untouched since 2008 in there.>whoa guyse we have to fully utilize these AMAZING new CPUs with (count em') 2 cores!
>>540830220You don't. Anyone trying to justify spending any amount over $20, let alone $80 or whatever, for a 20+ year-old game is a mindless consumer who's just looking for ways to part with his money.
>>540855054justwerx guy here. No, I don't lol it's entirely beyond the scope of what I or most people using 86Box want to do with it. I do believe the 86Box dudes themselves put out some videos on configuring Windows 98 with working LAN/Internet support, though, and I can't imagine it's all that different on Windows ME.
Speaking of which, one interesting thing I've found about the performance of 86Box is that on my machine, if I use a 200 MHz CPU or more, just doing simple things on Windows like clicking on the Start menu or opening a new Explorer window will bring the emulation speed down to 50% or less, but upon starting a 3D game like Fury3 or Monster Truck Madness and getting into the gameplay itself, it will stay at 100% almost all of the time. Seems like Explorer taxes the CPU more than the games themselves do. Of course, hardware acceleration may have something to do with it.
>>540859534I've noticed it too, I think it's something with the IDE/disk IO that PCem and forks hate. If it was hardware acceleration the game would be the problem.
>take a day off work>decide to fuck with KernelEx + browsers in low spec Win98 in 86boxI guess I really am sick.
>>540860062Right, I should say hardware acceleration seems to be what helps a lot with performance, though even then it's surprising because Fury3 is software-rendered and it only starts to slow down for me at 266 MHz.
Could I just have a decently running 733mhz guest, 86box hacks? Can I just have this low bar?
>>540861454At that point you'll likely just want CPU virtualization, and they've expressed they would welcome it but it probably won't happen for a long time.
I also need to get around to testing if tools like setmul even do anything on 86Box. I know it's silly because you can just make a new, slower machine, but still.
Oh neat, so I got 86box Win98 to communicate with my host FTP server. I had to set the server-side passive IP advertisement to 10.0.2.2 for it to work. I was just getting tired of remounting folders/ISOs for every change.
SMB would be better, but it requires NAT bridging and eugh, fuck that.
Another minor annoyance I have with 86Box is that you're limited to only one MIDI output. You can have multiple sound cards, so it ought to be possible to have each one output to a different MIDI device, so ideally you'd be able to have MT-32 emulation together with either SoftSynth or something like Nuked-SC55 without having to restart the machine or load a different config. I see at least one guy's brought it up in their Discussions forum, though in the context of sequencers:https://github.com/86Box/86Box/discussions/6251

>>540843056>>540847849>>540847115>>540854736>>540855961It was the first time the game was launched so I think the error was due to compiling shaders. It didn't happen again and I don't remember touching any settings.
>>540869989Make sure you have the driver installed for it (you can share folders from your host PC as a CD-ROM drive from the menu bar, then you can sideload the driver to your guest), then just select a generic monitor that has the resolutions you want. As far as networking/internet goes. You select one of the Realtek PCI devices at the bottom for your virtual machine, then sideload a driver to it the same way. Then browsers and FTP should work. Maybe.
No switch emu is running Final Fantasy Tactics right now right?

>>540872723
Can't poost with this Firefox build, though. Even on XP I need Supermium and it's one of the few if only hacked up legacy Windows browsers to work on here.
>>540872901I kneel
>>540812459https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/GBA_MiSTer/issues/143Try to ignore the faggoty behavior in that thread. The issue is legit.
whew. just when i thought that switch emulation is dead fr fr, i manage to make FFT finally work. some shady ass corny settings tho like open unc GL and specific combination sheet like gpu level high, maximum clockw with vulk pipeline cache (with open unc GL lmao) or it crashes, man. mafia shieet right there. oh, and dont ya dare checkin the box on that 1.2 update yall, cuz why? crashes. still, new release, eden made it work. ryu (black) nigger screen. eden tells yall to get oldass corny keyz and firm bootyware for dat NCA ver..very...verifikeyshon, but thats cap hugr L bait. gotta blast that nigga with new ass bling bling keyz and firm bootyware. works, except me lmao ima neet ass bum ready to get my boy Ramza some bitches! aight imma dip, see ya nerds
>>540873625Okay, I think it's a lot easier to hear now. I dunno if it's fixed in anything yet, but I'll try to find out.
A browser will drag down 86box's already shitty CPU performance more than anything, ~30% speed at times with a 333mhz guest. >oh it's totally fast enough, let me suck their dicks more and not hold them to any standard
>>540873625Looks like the dev tried to implement some EQ/sound level fuckery to work around it but it introduced other problems. Figured such a simple fix wouldn't be it.
>>540855545His channel is one third ranting, one third e-begging for money to "save graphics" and one third beefing with other tech youtubers.
>>540873829Play the PSP version if you want the Shakespeare speak, or the PS1 one with some balancing hack. The new one is the same thing with just a "looking good" paint job.
>>540878292im well aware of all the mods and hacks and hd packs for the older versions. yet i still prefer this one since i appreciate the voice acting and new graphics.
i'M REAlly fucking drunk
>>540873625>>540795976I just loaded Sonic Advance 2 up with a save that allows me to play Hot Crater Act 1, and the noise channel-ish hi-hat is pretty clearly audible in mGBA even through sharts and its audio processing. NanoBoyAdvance standalone has it. SkyEmu's audio is actually really fucked up though, the bass synth is just completely missing. At least a few emus do it right now, though.
I will say, though, that the noise hihat isn't as 'hot' as it is in that audio recording, but it's within acceptable I'd say. The MiSTer recording, in comparison, is inaudible.
>>540871197So it isn't Plug-and-Play? Are there other drivers that aren't Plug-and-Play either?
What is going with xemu devs?Practically a new update every couple of days.
>>540880630Just listened for myself on my own MiSTer with the latest supersekrit discord accuracy core, and it's still inaudible. At least on PC the situation's better.
>memester has a GBA2P core but 'sharts doesn'tDANNY!
>>540830220i...cant.....
Does Pokemon Arceus v.1.1.1 simply not work on emulators? I thought it was my copy of Ryujinx misconfigured but if I simply remove the 1.1.1 nsp, Arceus launches and runs fine. I'm seeing some corroborating comments about this being the case. It's only when it's enabled that it starts then closes out completely.How the fuck do I get 1.1.1 to work?Also, is Eden better than Ryujinx 1.3.2?
>>540884441Isn't Eden for Android? I don't know why people keep shilling this.
>>540884804Someone else told me it was the fork of Yuzu, and there was a single download for Windows on the github buried under a billion android and linux releases so I assumed it's legitimate.Is that to say that Ryujinx 1.3.2 is the only Switch emu anyone uses now (and unsupported)?p.s. still need to know about Arceus 1.1.1
Started playing Silent Hill on ePSXe, I'm up to the piano puzzle, and I can't make progress because the joystick is moving far too fast for me to select the keys I want. I'm trying to nudge it as slowly as possible but it's inconsistent. Tried using a slower CPU mode but that just makes it stutter with the same issue. Anyone experienced this and know how to fix it?pic related, moving slow as possible. Otherwise, the game has been working completely fine with no issues everywhere else
>>540885203Don't use ePSXe.
>>540885203use the dpad?
>>540885362would save files be transferable? What alternate ps emu would you suggest?>>540885469it's the same there too, sorry forgot to mention
>>540885129>and there was a single download for Windows on the github buried under a billion android and linux releases so I assumed it's legitimate.Huh, I must have missed that last I check. Sadly I can't help you with your Acreus problem, really wish they didn't nuke the compatibility pages for Ryujinx and Yuzu or left all their shit on github issues. Even archive.org can't dig through all that.
>>540886896Eden is indeed for pc as well. It is mainly a yuzu fork for computer.
>>540885129No problem with Arceus with it's patch on Ryujinx 1.1.1403 (The lasy OG release). So, it's bug added in the fork, or you NSP is screwed.
>>540886248Yes, and Duckstation. Just take whatever ePSXE's mcr files and rename to mcd and load them into the above emulator. If you're having issues try a tool like memcardrex, but the rename should be enough. You may have noticed a violent psychopath in here saying the emulator's worthless because of some static in some Fats Domino's CPAP Sim or a pixel missing in some kidfucker game, but it's still way better than ePSXe.
Ares isn't a bad option either, but it's a lot more barebones regarding enhancements.
Beetle or Duckstation in RA is usually my go-to but I know Retroarch gives people seizures.
Man, I somehow missed a DS accessory. Noticed support for this was added to gbe+ so I went and extracted all the card data from the game and made this script to generate wavs so DeSmuME and melonDS users can "enjoy" this game.https://gist.github.com/windwakr/5e6b88dccc2a3c27db4c2e0e08eb32c4
>>540830220Sunshine/Moonlight. A good 5/6GHz router is enough for it to be almost lagless, you can use cable too. I don't because I get like 8ms and it's good enough for me.
>>540888005>getting normies to set up LAN streaming properlylaffin
>>540887978If you get a card scan error in melonDS just try holding down the mic key again. It's a bit finicky and adjusting the one/zero samples near the bottom of the script may help with that.
>>540887978between the Scooby games, this, and the free-cam going up Toto's ass there's way too much dogfucking in emugen for me.
>>540888112What is even there to setup, I just installed Sunshine on my PC and download the Moonlight app on the TV, PC was recognized and it just worked. I think the only setting I changed was enabling HDR.But I'm not recommending this to normies, they can eat the remaster slop for what I care.
>>540888383>does it over a shitty router, uses 2.4ghz instead of 5/6ghz connection, one end or the other has a bad wifi adapter/antennaWhat could possibly go wrong? But yeah, fuck convincing people anyway. Also, even in the best conditions this does introduce some lag.
Even MiSTercast to a CRT-TV via ethernet introduces a frame or two of lag, and it's by far the fastest LAN video mirror I've seen.
>>540887385Grabbed 1.1.1403, grabbed archived version of 1.1.1. Still crashes. I select it by choosing Manage Title Updates, right?Am now downloading an entirely new copy of the Pokemon Legends Arceus nsp file.
>>540888602It does, says 8ms decode/encode for me and I already tested it manually by turning the TV volume up and playing the game on PC (with speakers also playing). Audio lag at least was so minimal I could barely notice. I'm not a lag autist anyway, 90% of the time I'm just playing modern games with this setup, and modern games in general are laggy as fuck. Just works for me, it's essentially a current gen console if launch it from Steam big picture.
>>540858108This part in the video helped me get online. (IIRC, it only works if you set your network adapter as "[PCI] AMD PCnet PCI II")https://youtu.be/SpnXYT1VEtQ?t=1028
>>540889274Realtek worked for me. Also using 98. >doesn't show any actual surfinglol of course. Even in the best conditions (unofficial browser forks, best guest specs possible) you're gonna have a rough, rough time with any modern website. XP is basically as low as you want to go for any 'real' surfing now. You can limp along to some sites using browsers found here:https://retrosystemsrevival.blogspot.com/search?q=9x+browserYou can also FTP files from you host to your guest:>>540868289Expect to use oldweb archive sites with any reliability otherwise, though.
How do I troubleshoot xemu and know why it keeps crashing my game? I notices when it crashes my PC's fans seem to be running more loudly, but literally had the same game going amounting to hours in multiple sessions throughout different days before it decided to do this. I went through 2 emulators. It just crashes at seemingly random points.HALP!!!
>>540830220It's called HDMI, you can run it through the wall. There's even HDMI over CAT extenders so you can run it to virtually anywhere.
>>540880771Many. If the device is missing in Device Manager (rightclick my computer -> properties) or shows a question mark, you'll have to install a driver. The easiest way is mounting a folder on your host machine from the 86box menu bar.
>>540890198Is that the game that's crashing? Can you be less vague please? Your questions come off as very PLS HELP ME I AM FUCKING INDIAN. Details.
>>540890216At this point, fuck normies. With several AIs being good enough to answer this question just as well as we have, there's no excuse anymore. I know, AI hallucinates sometimes, but it's pretty good with easy shit like this.
>>540888763Did you have any log about the crash?
Just wanna say beware of any "unofficial service pack" for Win98, I've hosed a couple installations with that. The standalone fixes for USB2.0 and KernelEX are fine, though.
>>540890461Sorry. Yes, it's Ninja Gaiden Black that's crashing on me, and it crashes towards the end. I know details help, I was just asking how I could troubleshoot that myself outside of merely asking others, but yet, NGB is it. I've played it on 2 different xemus. The first time, I got to about the second and final Doku fight before the issue started happenning. I also had changed the xbox to widescreen in the xbox settings (not to be mistaken with the xemu settings). It was shortly after my game was booted up, about a minute of playing, that the game would just freaze, maybe stuttering a bit beforehand.After this the emulator itself wouldn't even boot. I removed the game from the dvd path, and I tinkered with a setting in the toml file which then lead to it working again, after which I switched off widescreen, but then the crashes happenned again after going into the game and playing with my prior settings.On the second emulator, I went with widsescreen from the start. I got PAST the point at which it crashed on my first emulator, but still just about the same area of the game. Progressed further to about the very end of the game, and now it's crashing too. Before the second xemu crashed, there were points where certain attacks would make the fps drop and the game would stutter pretty bad, but it didn't kill the game straight up.
>>540891559>but yet*but yes
>>540891559Have you tried the absolute latest actions/artifacts? https://github.com/xemu-project/xemu/actionsYou can switch between OGL and Vulkan renderers. Have you tried both? You can also fiddle with the realtime DSP. Are you increasing the resolution? Maybe you're going past your computer's capabilities or Xemu's ability to handle it. Of course I could suggest a newer video card driver and make sure you're generally running cool/stable, but I sorta doubt that's it. Intermittent shit's a bitch. It would be better if you could recreate it.
that it's crashing your whole PC on occasion does make your host system a lil suspect, though. You may want to check event viewer System logs and your temps when you're playing.
>>540890850It must have been the .nsp I had. After more fiddling it seems to work now and it shows 1.1.1 on the title screen. Only way I can make it crash now is putting the original nsp I had back in place of the new one.
>>540891428The Windows 98 QuickInstall project's builds supposedly come with all official updates, and they seem rock solid. I've yet to get a single blue screen or anything.
>>540892191>Have you tried the absolute latest actions/artifacts?I haven't. I'll look into it. I'm a bit of a pleb, I'm still learning about this stuff.>Have you tried both?Just Vulkan. I'll seewhat I can do about that.>Are you increasing the resolution?I have resolution scaling on 3, which I think it was on by default. I'll see if it makes a difference. Thanks.
>it's on Switch with normal controlsDamn finally a way to play this kino
>>540880061Hmm interesting.
>>540895227>Shin'en MultimediaHope it runs better than Fast Racing NEO in emulators.
>>540879482Decent shader.

>>540889194Nice
>>540895227>170mbkraut efficiency
>>540894313I made a mistake, it was on OGL. When I tried to set it to Vulkan it crashed the emulator.
>>540887425thanks anon, worked with just renaming
>>540896901To be fair, it's fine with 1x scaling.
>>540895227motion controls are probably part of the fun desu
>>540897192Playing it with DS5 motion controls now.
Does anyone have the discs (Redump/TOSEC) and floppy (No-Intro/TOSEC) for the following:>Intel Chipset>Voodoo3>Sound Blaster 128>DirectXWindows Me BTW.
Just presume any PC game up to 1999. After that, and even during that year a bit, games started wanting decent D3D and OGL performance through a Geforce or better, and rapidly went up from there.
>>540899290Why in god's name did you install ME instead of 9x? Now you'll have to patch it to have full DOS functionality. Once you do modify it, it'll run most DOS games either within Windows or exiting to DOS. https://myrient.erista.me/files/eXo/eXoDOS/Full%20Release/Content/GameData/eXoDOS/Some extra shareware and obscure shit can be found in TDC:https://ia800906.us.archive.org/view_archive.php?archive=/4/items/Total_DOS_Collection_Release_14/TDC_Release_14.zipWin9x (which includes ME) will also run 99.9% of Win 3.x games. Sadly exo's a faggot and it's torrent only now:https://www.retro-exo.com/eXoWin3x.torrentHere's a shitload of CD-ROM Windows games, sadly they aren't labeled by year, though.https://myrient.erista.me/files/Redump/IBM%20-%20PC%20compatible/If you have a TOSEC CD-ROM collection for direct download that labels them by year, I'd love to know where too.
Just smash it and install Win98 instead. You goofed. There's no way Me will benefit you under 86box's specs, and it will only get in the way.
Anyway, that's the best way I can think to answer your question. PC archival's a bit messier because of all the amateur/shovel-slop and this isn't really a console situation where people made games just for those things you listed. There are games that only run or are best played on 3dfx cards, though. By SB128/Win9x sound was a lot more generalized, outside of Aureal Vortex and EAX cards, which aren't emulated anyway. So yeah, anything from 99 (and for performance, 98) on down from those sites.
Mednafen or Kronos?Which one is better?
>>540906280SSF and Ymir are the only correct answers.
>>540906438>SSFGo to bed grandpa
>>540801061FBNeo emulates about 1/4 of the amount of games that mame emulates.
>>540906728It could be much, MUCH worse...
>>540906280Beetle, Ymir, and distantly SSF are all decent emulators. SSF still runs a few games the other have trouble with, but it's getting a little crusty in features and the scaling/shading it it's pretty bad. It's still early days for Ymir but the dev seems dedicated enough to make it one of the best. It's very easy to use and runs most of the games at the moment.Kronos and YabaSanshiro are ass unless you absolutely need to render the games in HD, and it does that with mixed results.
>>540885203>epsxeUpgrade to Nesticle.
The best Saturn emulator is actually the MiSTer core. Sorry, it's true. I bet 95% of thelastangryman's tickets run perfectly in it.
>>540906728NTA but it's still the best saturn emulator around. It's more accurate than Mednafen, it has more features, and it runs on a toaster.
>>540909598Its performance really cannot be overstated. It ran Nights Into Dreams and Radiant Silvergun playably on my Athlon64 in 2005.
>>540909598It's kinda laggy, though.
>>540895227Great relaxing atmosphere.
>>540895227Thanks, enjoying this so far.
Jesus, what the fuck happened to 1Fichier? Now it's some RapidGator-tier shithole.
>>540913535was it ever not?vikingfile, akirabox, formerly quwu???, pixeldrain, whatever else are the good sites, all the others have always been rapidgator tier dogshit
>>540914673Sadly, the "others" are all that's left in Art of Balance's case. Thank god it's only in the MBs, or otherwise I would've been really pissed.
Fagjinx runs the game a little better, but has broken DOF in the level select and crashes when you try to raise the res multiplier.
>>540901330>>540901881Yeah, I'm actually struggling a bit trying to think of reasons why you'd wanna use Me outside of nostalgia. It's slower, takes more resources, completely gimped DOS, and no one is going to seriously use it for the few features it did introduce. And that's assuming it runs stable.
>>540915092Holy shit, you're right! DOF is also broken in base Ryujinx. (1.1.1403)
>>540913535What do you mean? it's still the same.>download>change ip>download>change ip again.
>>540918417Yeah, but somehow it's... shittier than usual.
I asked it a very simple question. Where does Former President Bush say he's going to test his outboard motor, and it hallucinated an entire scene that doesn't exist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGdhRR6OeDw
>>540913535>>540920302I just throw everything into jdownloader. I rarely even look at these direct download sites.
>>540899290 (Me)I installed the last three (thanks Internet Archive). But my Windows Me is still slow. Is this because I didn't install the Intel chipset or is it because 86Box sucks emulating Windows Me? If it's the latter, I think I will clone the VM and install Windows 98 SE.>>540901330To be fair, I would build another VM for MS-DOS/Windows 3.1.
>>540887978And because I was bored this evening, a visual reference for the cardshttps://windwakr.github.io/wantame.html
>>540921520Windows ME has higher system requirements than Windows 98, so it requires a beefier emulated machine, and that of course means you need a better CPU to emulate it at full speed. If you want speed, you can look into installing Windows 98lite, which strips out a lot of bloat and makes it use the older Windows 95 shell, which makes it run a decent bit faster than vanilla Windows 98.
Pitagraph is fixed in Ymir. Is this the only Saturn emu it works in?
>>540926725>>540629368It works in SSF and the MiSTer core.
>>540927780>MiSTerIsn't that rather trans exclusionary?
>>540928618I wouldn't be surprised if the followup is called SiSTer. It's also pretty far from what the name was derived from at this point.
I wish I had a PAL compatible 15khz so I could actually try what the project was conceptualized for (Amiga/ST over FPGA). I have a VGA monitor that'd work at 50hz but it's not quite the same. A flat panel would too, but at that point why bother?
>>540912934Agreed, it's one of my favorite games right now! I haven't been addicted to a puzzle game in a long time.
>>540884441>Does Pokemon Arceus v.1.1.1 simply not work on emulators?Seems so.It's so weird. I either get NSPs that install normally but are not recognized at all, or NSPs that straight up fail and Yuzu/its forks say "1 file failed to install."Hell, neither Eden nor Citron can even boot up the v1.0.0 of the game.The last version of Mainline Yuzu can though.Pretty fucked up stuff.>>540884804>Isn't Eden for Android?Exclusively? No, it isn't. You have builds for Windows, Linux and so on in its GitHub repo.>I don't know why people keep shilling this.Because it's the only Yuzu fork still in dev.
>>540884441>>540940192I bring news.If you have a newer firmware, downgrade to something older like 19.0.1 or 17.0.0 and Yuzu/Sudachi will recognize the game, the update and boot it just fine.Eden recognizes the update but crashes on bootup on my end.
>>540942925>>540884441Oh, and don't forget about getting prod.keys from the same time that firmware came out.
I'm experimenting with CRT shaders, currently using CRT Guest NTSC on Duckstation, but it doesn't matter if I use HD or Advanced version, I still have the same issue: the text gets completely FUCKED, it's barely readable. Is there some setting I'm fucking up or this is just how it is, and I have to deal with it? I noticed if I turn it into windowed view and make the window size smaller, the legibility gets better, but that doesn't help me because I want to play full screen.This is how it looks with the filter:https://files.catbox.moe/hi8xb2.pngThis is without it:https://files.catbox.moe/y9iu3p.pngAny tips to fix this would be appreciated.
Not your hands though ;)
Looks exactly as fat as you'd expect.

>>540959269Mine isn't showing the game on the list, that means i need to update the firmware right?
>>540872692>No switch emu is running Final Fantasy Tactics right now right?Why does this boring slop get so much glaze lately? This genre is boring in general but FF Tactics one of the mos tboring ones in it where you control a tiny number of units and it's somehow still slow and time wasting
>>540962485The keys
i have a steam deck and wanted to play final fantasy tactics on it, what's the best way to go about it? i was told the psx version is the best from sound and some of the laungauge used.however the psp version has updates and i think it's easier to set up?
>>540956697How are you implementing them? Reshade will be more difficult because it's generally harder to get it to respect the original resolution of the content and scale it out right. It looks like it's receiving the wrong internal resolution. I recommend using Retroarch or Shaderglass if you can.
Ares also has librashaders built in.
>>540970119I'm using Duckstation's own Post-Processing option. I think it's some kind of implementation of reshade because I had to place them in a reshade folder within duckstation's folders for them to actually show up in this menu.Maybe I'll look into Retroach, I haven't tried it yet.
>>540972524Duckstation's shader implementation has always seemed kinda assy to me. I can see if I can get less broken results with it anyway. You can also apply Shaderglass on top of it. If you do that. Make sure you're running it in as close to 1x integer scaled window if possible, or if it's a multiple, make sure ShaderGlass's input settings are set appropriately. Integer, nearest neighbor scaling is extremely key for shader input, though.
>>540972901I'm running it 1x Native, scaling set to Nearest-Neighbour (Integer), I think this is what you are referring to. I'm trying to make the games look how they would on a real PS1.I have never heard of ShaderGlass before, I'll look into it.
>>540973525Well, that scaling is what I'm referring to if you offload it to a 3rd party shading program. As for Duckstation and its own shading, it *should* be smart enough to do that regardless of your rendering settings outside of shaders.
>>540963047No the same anon, got latest Citron, latest keys from the prodkeys net site.Trying to play the game it keeps on >Launching... and it doesn't boot.Did i need to do something else anon?
>>540974445>>540973525and by 1x/2x etc I mean window or scaling size, not the game's internal resolution or boosting of it. That should most definitely be 1x and it will break shaders if it's higher, though.
>>540973525
>>540975962However, this is a pretty conservative "RGB"-esque shader that will preserve dithering and things you may want ironed out by shaders. These settings may give you an example of how Duckstation should be set up, though. Duckstation's shader implementation is just pretty meh overall.
>>540975962As far as duck shaders go, Easy mode is my favorite. There's also some port of guest advanced.
>>540976175Where? I don't see it on the list on my updated Ducko.
>>540976451>https://github.com/stenzek/emu-shadersHere.
>>540974590Turn this off.
>>540976916I wonder why the hell he doesn't just include these with Duckstation. Oh, 'zek.
>>540977465It was integrated at the beginning, but, like with everything, license shit.
>>540974445>>540974595I tried it with ShaderGlass, and I have much better results that's true but still not exactly perfect.The text is now much more readable with the same settings to the shader itself, but there are still parts of the text that are "blocked" out, that is annyoing like BonusPoint,'s o right after P, and Cm Vest 1's C's beginning is missing. Is this normal when using shaders or something is still fucky? Under ShaderGlass Input -> Pixel Size -> it's set to 9x because 1x looks horrible, like I set no shader at all, really weird. 9x looks like roughly how it looked on Duckstation but the text is better. My display is 4k, 48 inch OLED screen.
>>540977935This is how it looks pixel size 1x, I think this isn't how it should look like but maybe I'm wrong.
>>540977935There's something most definitely wrong with your input/base content before shading or how your shaders are reading the base content. The pixels being flat out missing looks like the game's being rendered or displayed at a resolution slightly less than native. Did you check all settings here?>>540975962My shaders both within Duckstation and otherwise aren't cutting Y axis pixels out.
>>540978202That's normal. Somehow between that and your shader, it's being interpreted as a slightly lower horizontal resolution from what I can tell, and it's throwing columns away.
>>540978386Without the shader it looks good, my settings are here >>540973525, and duckstation says it's displaying 320x224 if I set it to windowed mode, is that not native?>>540978530So that means this is just something I have to deal with if I want to use CRT shaders?
>>540978202Okay, so we know the emulator is rendering the content properly, so what's left to figure out is why it's getting pre-scrunched, throwing columns away, and sending to shader. You'll just have to fiddle from here. I imagine if I were sitting there I could kinda see what's going on, but you're like 95% there. Could be the pixel size input wrong in ShaderGlass, but it's doing almost the exact same thing in Duckstation's native stuff. You may want to make sure the window size itself, is a multiple of the game's content and Windows isn't being a nigger and shrinking some off, ruining your base content before sending to ShaderGlass.
>>540978823>just something I have to deal withYou shouldn't, honestly it just seems like some little quirk in your setup, or Duckstation being stupid before exporting it to shader/ShaderGlass. Could you take a screenshot of Duckstation rendering it exactly at 1x, windowed, including window border? If it looks fine there, it absolutely should export to ShaderGlass properly.
>>540979034Yeah this is it windowed.
>>540979216Okay we're getting close to the problem. That's not literally 1x and it's likely scaling pixels a little lower, a little higher, at that window size. There's even some letterboxing. You need to make the window a literal multiple of the game for it to export to ShaderGlass as expected. I noticed that 1x using picrel makes Duckstation shrink off some pixels because either the jeets at Microsoft or Stenzek sucks. So, use 2x. Then tell Shaderglass to grab the duckstation window as pictured, and use 2x input. As for why Duckstation itself is doing it, shruggo.
>>540977315>Sao_PauloOlá, tudo bem.
This whooooole deal, is why I fucking hate 'upscaling' being used for everything. This illustrates the problem with using it wrong perfectly.
>>540974590Don't use the 1.2.0 update of the game, remove/uncheck disk pipeline cache, spam F6 until it randomly works.
>everyone is such a mealy-mouthed coward about distributing a hard drive image with Workbench and WHDLoad exactly as you want it to play games, especially off a MiSTer.It's so ridiculous that these copyright trolls can waltz along and claim the rights to this dead 80s computer and its software. Cloanto/Amiga Forever deserves the worst. Looks like this Amigavision/MegaAGS may do the trick, though.
>>540979791That doesn't seem to solve the issue, I'm probably not following you correctly but I set the screen size to 2x as yours, but my issue from the beginning is if I set it to full screen it blocks out part of the text, and sure enough as soon as I set it to full screen the issue persists. I give up for now, but you are right it's probably a quirk of my setup somewhere that fucks it up but I can't figure out where it is. Thank you for helping, appreciate it.
>>540981557Ah hell, welp. Yeah. I imagine you'll figure it out eventually. You have all the fundamentals. Maybe just consider RA + Beetle/Swanstation or Ares. Those are decent PS1 emus too, and have librashader built in.
>running A1200 demos on my VGA monitorIt's comfy.
This effect has yet to be resolved. It must be the most difficult thing to fix in the PS2 library of games
>>540988423Could you point out what effect you mean? PS2 games are so shitty looking it's hard to wonder what's intended.
>>540988423Okay I think I get it of course I have to do allll my own research as you presume I know what the fuck you mean, and there's no wiki entry on it either, the little lift-ometer on the machine doesn't work right. https://youtu.be/pMj1yYNGlVo?t=529Of course it's a PAL version of a shovelware version of a game. Of course it is.
>>540988717the red bar is all kind of fucked up. i am a no coder but i can see how this effect should be hard to replicate because it is complex. first the red bar is supposed to be complete not disappear in sporadically... oh you made a new comment. no this is ntsc version not pal and this game is so fucking old im actually impressed theres no wiki entry. how is that even possible? am i the only one who plays this game?
Don't you have a PGS build? Is it bad there too? I'm-a lookin here a minute.
>>540989448Ah the ol "it's a simple effect so it must be simple to fix" gambit. You were right about it once, so you must be right about the others. Maybe.
>>540989676you can see the 50fps is red bro. what are you talking about? my shitty laptop cant play this mode 60fps in 1080p which is why its red and i never said it was a simple effect in fact i said it must be the most difficult effect to pull off twice. the hell is wrong with you.
>>540990172Okay. In any case it works with Parallel-GS, a new renderer in later versions unofficial builds of PCSX2 for Windows, Retroarch, and Linux. GSdx, the hardware renderer PCSX2 has had for ages, it pretty tired and hacky.
and nevermind, it was Round 3 that used 360 as the lead platform. Anyway. Use Parallel-GS however you can. Someone has linked a standalone PCSX2 build for Windows, but you use that at your risk. Retroarch has it in the LRPS2 core. TheMaister has put out a Linux PCSX2 build but I doubt you're using it.
>>540990697dayummmm not even the software renderer can emulate it 100% correctly
>all this nigger music and shirtless niggersNope, not gay. Not gay or subliminally mind poisoning white kids of the 2000s at all. Haha it sure would be funny if it turned out like half these black guys were gay too, like THAT would ever happen.>>540991489That's at least within acceptable, and to be honest the image quality is so poor it's hard to tell.
>>540991489oh it didnt caught the blue bar having different colors
>>540991698yes the software renderer can at least let me finish the training without having to guess where the line is even if blue is discolored at some part it is shows it even it is discolored but that means software renderer play>>540990697where is the parallel-gs build? is it a safe build?
>>540992236>is it safe:^) probably, in all seriousness. It would just be nice if there was a fork made by someone accountable.
That's pretty interesting if the blue bar's not appearing in software, though. I thought, at best, PGS could be as accurate as software mode. Maybe this is a rare case of it being superior in accuracy.
>>540992643no that was my bad. i thought i capture when he was pulling the weight which is when the blue lines appear but i didnt. im trying to capture and compress some videos but im bad at it. this is software renderer show the blue lines are not 100% accurate dsepite still being readable and enabling a better experience than the hardware renderer
>>540998886this is vulkan at 720p
>>540998886I think there's just not enough internal resolution or somehow it's resolving as looking a little funny. PGS is probably only doing it better because I gave it more resolution and it's aliasing/blurring less.>>540999854Yeah GSdx just ain't cuttin it here.
Find old mac floppy games not found in tosec.They are literally some random dude's zip folder that don't work.Sigh.
>>541002896What did happen?
>>541003105Found the wizardry disks. They all crash when leaving the first dungeon. Considering it a unverified source, i am not surprised.
Shit like Play It By Year and AmigaVision are incredibly cool justwerx packs for these old machines, speaking of:>>541006383https://ia600206.us.archive.org/view_archive.php?archive=/13/items/macpack/MacPack-20240825-RC1.zipCheck the vhds in here, maybe there's a working version. I may load it myself soon.
>>541006383First time playing this, I'm in the 'maze', so is it supposed to crash when I immediately leave upstairs or do I have to go through it? Trying to recreate this.
Speaking of old computer shit, is there a good pack for DOS games? I know there's the /vr/ pack but it's missing setup files and shit. I'd much prefer one that just has the games installed without going through a launcher or whatever that cna be loaded on either DOSBox or PCem and such.
>>541010640The zips from both ExoDOS and TDC can be loaded into DOSbox. You can also boot into a Play It By Year hard drive image with a Norton Command UI.
>>541010889Are they cracked to avoid copy protection shit?
>>541010889I believe most if not all the content in both is.
>>541011705I'll take a look, then. After that, the biggest pain in the ass is trying a game only to find it runs at hyper speed and you gotta mess with cycles or CPU speed, though it seems that is mostly only a problem pre-1991 or so.
>>540960643I don't know about the best, but I fell in love with the TrimUI Smart Pro desu.Also you might wanna ask in >>>/vr/hhg instead.
>>540956697Use beetle via retroarch, it's the gold standard for a reason.
>>540965945Go PSX original.PSP verion:-has a worse translation (verbose, pompous, grandiose nonsense where they use 1000 times more words than necessary, plus it's less accurate)-wrong aspect ratio-blur filter to hide the fact that it's in the wrong aspect ratio-loading times mid battle (every time you cast a spell etc)
>>541026730Genesis
>>540992236>>540428539>>540430625It got a single hit on Virustotal, and it was MemeSecure. You could build it yourself too, it's not that hard. Instructions here: https://files.catbox.moe/nvijse.zip
>>541030902Jesus christ. Make. A. Fork. Not everyone's going to want the compiler bloat on their computer, follow that, and wait for it to compile. You're expecting way too much of people. There's also Retroarch which works just fine.
and yes, I've gone through the rigamarole to compile a number of things over the years, it's still a pain in the ass and if *I* think it is 99.999% of people are going to every time they want to make a new one.
Honestly though, you nor anyone else should really have to do anything. Refraction and TheMaister should have hashed this out and merged it a year ago. It's ridiculous that it's still isn't. Fucking spergs.
>>541031528>retroarchi rather compile it from source
>>541032232Great, share your results. I've posted more PGS shots than anyone in here because I haven't been filtered.
>Tries Windows 98 because Windows Me is slow for me.>It's worse and the VM bricks after installing Sound Blaster and rebooting.Chipset it is then. Now I have to find the installer.
>MiSTer Amiga core loads a few games and demos PUAE in A1200 mode won't from the AmigaVision loaderInteresting. Those same games/demos work standalone in A500 mode, just interesting how the FPGA A1200 mode seems to be overall more compatible. Makes some sense, though, as MiSTer started off as a fancy Amiga emulator.
>>541032697Try to uninstall the offending driver in safe mode before you take a hammer to the install. Another chipset could help, but I bet it's something else. Also there's little point in using SB128. Just use ISA SB16. You'll see zero drawbacks and it'll be more compatible overall. PCI soundcards were only worth using for advanced audio acceleration like Aureal and EAX, which 86box doesn't emulate and 128 doesn't support. The Win98 disk may straight up have a driver for SB16 too.
>>541032697If you do have to nuke it, consider reinstalling with this as Win98's installation sucks and takes forever, as you surely know:https://github.com/oerg866/win98-quickinstall/releases
Also, you may want to just copy the Win98 disk's contents on to your drive. You'll find yourself needing it for just about any driver installation or component installed.
>>541033384The same goes to Windows Me?
>>541034260Yes. At least on 86box where advanced PCI card features aren't supported.
>>541034310Gonna do it tomorrow.
This 86box VM is working fine for me in Win98, for reference.
It's a shame 86box is a clear UX and feature upgrade but loses what has to be 33% of the speed. I could swear I was doing 400-450mhz with little issues on a fucking Haswell. I know the guy who defends them doesn't want to hear it but they're kinda hacks in a way.
>>541034460I hope someone has a Windows Me version of that pic. BTW, is that the full thing or is there more?
https://youtu.be/7dWUj0a77g8 You should load up one of these god-awful Shartmart-core shareware compilations to complete the experience. Lots of them are preserved on archive.org
>>541034682The 86Box team claims the difference in speed is because of "accuracy", but did PCem have any problems caused by it's "inaccuracy"?
>>541035006Think that's all, there's some sub configuration you can do for a few but nothing that should affect much. It should also work just as well for ME as ME is just 9x but worse.
>>541035079To be honest, I haven't noticed any difference outside of the performance and UX. To be fair there are a ton of UX improvements. It was straight-up awful in PCem. The fullscreen/window and mouse control was so disgusting. 86box's lag is pretty low now too, esp if you run it at high refresh rates in exclusive fullscreen.
>>541035146I need to change anything regarding the machine's BIOS' settings?
>>541035372I haven't been able to affect the performance/behavior of the guest too much via BIOS settings. Just make sure it boots to what it's supposed to and disable whatever things you absolutely won't use.
>>541035346It's true that when it comes to features and UX, 86Box is much better than PCem, but it's just a shame you need the absolute top consumer CPU to emulate a 450 MHz P2Dunno if they're going to work on performance or if they'll let it "fix itself" by waiting for users to have more powerful CPUs in 5 years
>>541035829I don't foresee a single thread/IPC breakthrough happening. Wider with more threads is the trend. It's been incremental for ages, and what good is it if the software is getting slower which is exactly 86box's case?
You can't take one thing away form Intel Aviv, single thread performance has always been their game. >Apple silicon on top nowWhat a waste.
>>541036150I'm a dummy and forgot picrel.
I'm hoping Ayy finishes strong on AM5. I bought a lower end chip on it hoping 11xxxX3D will be the shit.
>>541036309
>>541036565Yes. That's a multithreaded task and the CPU best at that will win. I was referring to single, which AMD is no slouch in but is shy from the top. Don't get me wrong; I'm not saying to buy a rusting yid chip. Just that it does kinda well there. 11xxx could really be impressive too, we just don't know yet.
>>541036565are there results for A19 and Pro? I'm sure it sucks at kernel compilation but I am curious
and yeah, also not endorsing Apple silicon either because regardless of its results it's rendered useless by its architecture and OS.
>>541033384I concur. I tried using the SB128, and not only was finding a good set of drivers a bitch because of the whole Ensoniq being bought out fiasco, but even once I got it working well, it sounded a lot quieter than the AWE32 before it even with all volume sliders on max. Not only that, its DOS compatibility is ass, as it achieves it through very subpar emulation, and its built-in wavetable sound is very mediocre, not to mention unnecessary when you can just load a far superior soundfont through SoftSynth. I just saw nothing good about it, so I went back to the non-PnP AWE32, which is fully compatible with both DOS and Windows once it's set up correctly.
>>541037449*through FluidSynth
Oh nevermind ExoWin3x is here for direct downloadhttps://archive.org/download/exowin3x_202107/eXo/eXoWin3x/
>>541042779Fucking A', anon. This'll come in handy.
I wish I were Eurotrash just to experience the demoscene in person. It has to be a unique vibe for sure.
>>541035029The funny thing is that's probably one of the better put-together shareware collections. It's insane how many of them are out there, full of all kinds of early DOS and Windows shit that would struggle to run properly even on the PCs of that time. I suppose they're worth trying just to get a sense of what was being shat out into the world by lone programmers with nothing but a PC, some coding skills, and a dream.
>>541035829>>541035346The problem was that the 86Box devs forked pcem too early because the pcem dev spent the next few versions optimizing the fuck out of it. and because of that the only way to get 86Box close to what performance pcem had in the end is to scrap most of their work on 86Box and start over with the last pcem release.
>>541053807Yes?
>>541048442The early Windows shareware/'indie' scene was pretty gross. Decent DOS games from the likes of Epic, Apogee, and iD felt like Amiga on steroids, and the games ran closer to the 'metal' with much more impressive visuals. Only the most skilled (and funded) devs could get similar results in Win3.1 and even early 9x til DX became more ubiquitous. Most of the shit on Win3.1/9x discs were depressing visual basic menu sims and they all used the same assets or sub-Chris Chan MSpaint 'art'.
Anyone know anything about the texture scaling delay on retroarch using the ppsspp core? Trying to play FFtactics WOTL and the text only gets upscaled after its finished printing,
>>541036565The stranger result to me as that EPYC at the bottom, something must have went wrong. To be fair I bet some part of the M2 isn't being implemented, too.
>>541067382Probably something to do with how the game itself renders things. Have you tried it in the standalone too? What scaling settings are you using?
THE most schizophrenic game by far. It makes the actual game Schizofrenia on C64 look like a joke. Game's genuinely unsettling.
>>541067576Yeh standalone ppsspp does the same thing
My Steam deck will be here before the end of the week. I'm excited, bros.One of my friends and I used to be really into emulation 10 years ago. I know that he still has a big library on his phone. We're going to hold hands and walk down memory lane.
One thing I can't stand about Exo's shit is how absolutely bloated it is. >every zip contains a little virtual machine setup to run it and the install mediaI follow the logic and get why some would want that, but it's far worse than something like TDC if you just want the stupid games. A lot of these Windows games should only be like 100k each, but end up being like 18-20mb.
>>541071550>One thing I can't stand about Exo's shit is how absolutely bloated it is.Again With your lies.>every zip contains a little virtual machine setup to run it and the install mediaThere are two zip files for each, the media oen and the actual game part with the configs. There aren't any "little virtual machine" .>I follow the logic and get why some would want thatPeople wanna play dos games and not setup the audio and config files themselves.Plus some people ma ynot want to play a specific version of the game and this allows you to choose.> but it's far worse than something like TDCAh yes,the random shit throw together to emulate tosec is somehow better? >A lot of these Windows games should only be like 100k eachIs this a joke? win3.x mostly used cd's.
>>541072450There was plenty of software and BBS shareware, eXo. Go away, you lispy fucking freak. NOT downloading your torrent client. GOING to download directly from archive.org/myrient and recommend others do the same, and use TDC zips for DOS most of the time anyway because they're smaller and just work. I'm also referring to eXoWin3x which does come packed like I said.
>>541072913*floppy software. Also, look at proper, nonbloated projects like AmigaVision and Play It By Year if you want to release something that isn't a hideously bloated piece of shit for a change.
but hey, thanks for eXoDOS 5, anyway. Never going to use 6. Shit's retarded. Consider speech therapy.
>>541072913>There was plenty of software and BBS shareware, eXoSure.> Go away, you lispy fucking freak. NOT downloading your torrent client. GOING to download directly from archive.org/myrient and recommend others do the sameOk, and your point is? And it is not his torrent client the site just hosts a torrent. You wanna download 100+gb through archive? Goa ahed.>and use TDC zips for DOS most of the timeSo are we talking about dos or win3.x? You to be confused?>because they're smaller and just workNo they don't. You need to tweak lot of shit which exo does for you.Enjoy broken mt 32 support on might and magic 4-6.>I'm also referring to eXoWin3xSo why are constantly jumping to toal dos which doesn't have win3.x?

>>541073510>they don't workI never had a problem parsing the proper versions of games on TDC and configuring them. It's not hard. >torrentseXo6 is highly designed around the client, which is itself a huge install. Don't be disingenuous. >download 100gbI'm not, eXo in any version is clearly not designed for that. I'd only download individual games from that collection. TDC, however, is a reasonable choice to get a full floppy/BBS set from if you smartly remove all the demos, installers, languages you don't want, CD games, other chaff and redundancies. I have like a ~40gb set of all floppy DOS games from TDC right now. >3xI was referring to the more recently mentioned 3x collection, the one I linked on archive.org. I should have replied to it. eXo's shit is just generally bloated for the sake of userfriendliness though.I'm not saying it doesn't have a point, I'm just saying if you want it small and fast and if you have any skill whatsoever, getting the loose games is usually a better choice. His releases are cleaner overall I'll grant you.
>>541073663It is far from unreasonable to make a DOS hard drive image that boots into a front-end that works with 99% of floppy/BBS games. I have such a setup on my real computer, sourced from TDC. CD, sure, that's where it gets hairier.
>>541074076>I never had a problem parsing the proper versions of games on TDC and configuring them. It's not hard.You are the same person that said you will just bump up the speed if a gama is running slow. You have no fuckign clue about running dos games. And saying you had no problems is literally meaningless.>eXo6 is highly designed around the client, which is itself a huge install. Don't be disingenuous.Download torrent through my client of choice,play.??????> I'd only download individual games from that collectionSo the same as total dos? You download what you want?>TDC, however, is a reasonable choice to get a full floppy/BBS set from if you smartly remove all the demos, installers, languages you don't want, CD games, other chaff and redundanciesThat is a lot of ifs,plus both are 500+gb collections.I would say they are both bloated.> have like a ~40gb set of all floppy DOS games from TDC right now.That is very limiting,especially since most games later came at cd's? That is practically nothing compared to the good library. You are looking at 100+gb for a best of most genres collection.
>>541074683>CD, sure, that's where it gets hairier.That is kind a of a big problem considering some of the best games came on cd's.
>>541074960Okay, then at that point I will use his release or the TOSEC/Redump ISO, or a loose one somewhere. Having a full CD collection is just not reasonable for any system. I just don't think his system is very smart or neat for smaller games or having a massive amount of games on hand.
>torrenting at allNice IP advertisement that you have to plug the hole with via paid VPN or Tribler. Both have a speed penalty.
Anyway, I do appreciate anyone archiving anything, ultimately. It's mostly just my own shitposts and complaints with it; it's just not a very 'hoard'-able collection.
Hyper 3-D Pinball (Apr 9, 1996 prototype) doesn't work in Ymir or Meddy. According to Hidden Palace it does work on hardware though. I'm hesitant to report it since it might just have been dumped wrong.

My general 'feeling' about the Saturn core is that it respects timing a little more than most emulators. Has slowdowns where you'd expect them. Somehow it's doing something right, considering OP too.
So yeah, unless by some chance the core is better-than-Saturn, I'd say this is a fair report esp if they document it as good on hardware too.
>>541067467cope
>>541091459lmao I will never own that processor or likely any Apple silicon in my life. Come on.
>>541035829I'm still surprised to see how, to this day, Xemu (XQEMU) manages to mostly achieve emulation of a PIII with something like an i5-4460 host CPU. I guess they used the Qemu TCG approach for that, according to the Emugen Wiki.Their success with their GeForce emulation is even more impressive, considering there is no other emulation project (for DirectX 8.1 capability emulation) to use for reference, other than wrappers or virtual GPU adapters.
Oh shit I thought I was gonna make the ticket for you, but you did it, haha.

There is a known bug in Dolphin where Mario Sunshine can't save to memory card if you use save states, but only sometimes, randomlyThere is nothing you can do about it once triggered, you either restart and load from memory card or continue save-state onlyIt also effects the libretro coreI will persist in this doomed, save-state only world

>>541108652Duckstation and/or PCSX2 automatically unplug/replug the memory card when you load a save state, possibly to avoid bugs of this nature.
I know there's been some wondering about how to set up 86box lately. Phil's latest video is a decent enough tutorial.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UntzYB_FJV4
The Zet dude seems to imply that FPGA stuff isn't much of a help. Thought I heard that it's helped MAME dev at one point, dunno how much truth there is to that. I suppose FPGA gets clocks/latency between components as an inherent bonus.
>>541109481He's too fat to swim back.
>>541117509Yeah, this one's fine, but his previous one about 86Box was kinda rough and he stated some complaints that were perfectly solvable, such as with input lag. He's usually pretty thorough, but sometimes he does put things out without doing adequate research first. He's still based, though, and I owe a lot to his videos and website.
Also, I noticed he went with a 7200 RPM hard drive for the build in his latest video rather than the default RAMdisk, and that got me wondering if using the latter affects emulation performance since it's supposed to be faster and all. Anyone ever gave it a go? I'd test it but I'm out of the house atm.

Art of Fighting 3 has an easter egg where if you play a character on their in-game birthday they're powered up. You think this works in MAME? I'm willing to bet the copy of Dodonpachi Blue mamehaze and his sexual predator boyfriend Eric are hoariding that it doesn't.

>>541203419I'd say it's enough to get by but not on a Pentium and one has to keep their expectations low. We're definitely not at a "I can pretend it's not emulated" state though.

Try to get as high a single thread score as possible. You typically want north of 2000 for emulation.

Yes, this *is* possible over CRTemudrivers but let me tell you (with a CRTemudriver machine sitting right next to it) it's not nearly as easy or handy. That machine is still handy for GroovyMister + GroovyMAME too.

>>541238736Emulate the Wii version.
>>541239283Wiimote is required for Optimal gameplay
Yeah, emulate the Wii one. I'll give infographic-anon one thing: the Switch version isn't the original look. >>541239369Any controller with gyro ought to do at least okay, but yeah, not quite the same as IR + waggle. gyro-IR + gyro-motion can probably do a lot on say, a DS4/5.
You could probably get away with button-waggle + right stick IR on a generic 360 style controller, but that's obviously a bit more ghetto. There's also those monkey ball parts that depend on positional gyro.
>>541242176Nevermind, it's that Switch 2 version that's fucked up graphically. Either way just emulate the Wii version.

Never go full Kostas.
the new NetherSX2 is actually a huge improvement over the old one that you had to patch yourself, the RG505 used to struggle playing the intro in Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 2 and have a lot of audio lag, it fixed a lot of it, pretty cool, now it's at 60 fpsI also get 25ish fps playing Persona 4 Gold with vita3kand I'm getting 60 fps on the Fire Emblem Path to Radiance intro using Dolphin latest dev build, I don't remember what fps I used to getAll of those emulators require "normal" performance mode, I use "power saving" mode for all older consoles, that's the yearly report

I found this emulator compatibility site that tries to list all emulator's compatibility with all games. https://www.emuready.com/The UI and navigation is shit but I kind of like the idea for certain emulators that's a complete mess of information on compatibility(Switch).
so, for 3ds, the best way to store the games is storing decrypted .cia files, right? .3ds don't work on cucked emulators, and encrypted .cias don't have any reason to exist anymore.the only way to add DLCs to games is installing the game with a decrypted .cia and then installing the decrypted .cia DLC, right? there's no way to add DLCs to .3ds files, right?
>>541257081>vast majority of reports are on handheld>le blue to red gradientew, reeks of gays, thirdies, and zoomers.
DLCs don't care about whether the game is a physical gamecard(.3ds) or digital install(.cia).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oph2mNykKEIWell, /emugen/, did it?
>>541257670>>vast majority of reports are on handheldWe live in a mobile world sadly
>>541257939for >>541257209Just install the DLC .cia and it'll work with whatever copy of the game you have.
I never got around to trying it but I'm shocked a game as essential as 3D Dot Game Heroes was unplayably unstable til recently.
>>541258037>LBP regressionNo, no it did not.
>>541258082it's weird because .cia files need to be installed and .3ds just run, so when you use .3ds it's like you're loading a rom but then you're "installing" dlc I don't even know where because the game itself isn't installed.I just wish people would find a way to bake the dlcs inside the games already, there are so few dlcs to manage too
>>541257081Someone backed up yuzu's and ryujinx's compat lists to the wiki and they've been getting some updates:https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Ryujinx_Game_Compatibility_Listhttps://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Yuzu_Game_Compatibility_Listcould use more info like notes on issues and system specs, but it at least covers most games.
>>541258069I'm glad my life's half over.
handhelds are the future and the present, r u gonna tell me something like the ayn thor isn't the perfect device for emulation?
>>541259304I prefer x86 handhelds since emu offerings aren't as limited. Arch-based ones are especially great, since you can run Android apps as a wrapper via Waydroid.
>>541259921well those are much more expensive sadly and ARM has the battery life advantage, this is the only type of device I'd go with ARM because it's main issue is having native development for it instead of using a translation layer from x86 and, in emulation at least, we do have devs working on ARM versions, so it's a pretty decent optionI would never buy an ARM laptop tho
>>541255918That's what Chrono Cross looks like, it's deep fried bro.Here's a no shader screenshot, this is what you'd see if you plugged in the PS1 to an LCD screen
>>541260974SOUL
>>541260974they remastered it for pc, but it's still pretty bad looking game
>>541262769It's a very beautiful game on CRT (shader).
the fact that they didn't add the war of the lions to the remaster is alone enough for no one to buy the game and force square to add those dlcs, but chuds had to buy the game now we'll never get a final perfect version of fft
>>541260974Could have at least integer-scaled it.
>>541254489>>541264971Please tell me you don't actually play like thisI'm not against CRT shaders in general but Jesus Christ my eyes
>>541260974Nigga you can use shaders that are less eye-rapey
Missing detail-textures on release.
The textures do seem to be increased in quality overall, though. Just thought I'd point out some of the differences just for you, schizo-kun.
>it's possible that some may prefer the original designAt least DF acknowledges this, lol.
>>541210617>it's not nearly as easyHorse shit.Go Away, shill.
>>541274795Nah. I'm enjoying my thing and YOU have to deal with it.
>>541274795Load Chrono Cross on your emudriver setup. Lie to me about how those transitions menu screens go. Load the aforementioned Cigga Saturn games in this thread in any PC emulator. See how they go for you.
>>541277936*transitions between menu screens. Hard mode: no hacks, like running the whole game in 480i mode. You have to transition between 240p and 480i like the game did. Don't you dare lie to me, because this has already been discussed in the GroovyArcade discord. The devs know it's a difficulty on PC.
Anyway, I honestly don't think it's worth buying for most people. If that'll calm your stupid 'shill' posting. It's an extremely niche piece of hardware and if you don't have CRTs it's hardly worth using at all. unless you really like Sega Saturn emulation

>>541307156There Is no way to tell if something will break unless you finish the game. And you can waste hours in the first area and have it crash it in the next, potentially.

>>541311872The pointing is the only thing motion controls arguably improve the gameplay because it's arguably more accurate than flicking your stick around. But even that works easily well enough with the stick and arguably comfier, as shown
