Needs more Dolphin
>>543555047Dolphin emulation is perfect outside of the Rogue Squadron series, that's the only roadblock left.
Why doesn't emulation general and homebrew general combine?
>>543556931We do both sometimes, a couple emugens back we were discussing a Mario/Castlevania hybrid hack of SMW.
When the fuck is V1.6 coming out? I'm tired of getting Blue Balls.
>>543564232The ironic part was that it WAS supposed to come out, but it was also during a time when RHDO was going through some bizarre drama.
>>543565518>RHDO*RHDNFuck, why do rom hacks have to be so segregated?
autismthe answer is always autism
>>543565891I keep hearing "trannies", but that's just another word for Autism anyway.
does anyone have a list of ps3 exclusives stuck on the console?
>>543569065Never grew up on PS3 personally, but I'd have to assume all its Ratchet & Clank games are worth playing.
>>543572724Oh yeah, I might as well specify MAINLINE R&C games because I forgot about that weirdo entry that's like... some weird 4-player co-op game that in no way plays like an R&C game?
Nice game. Fun one on one combat. Not translated obviously because good things don't happen anymore apparently.
>unplayable on rpcs3 STILL (lol) >360 emulator is crap as always this game is stuck in eternal emu hell with no freedom in sight
>>543573104Seems like the kinda game Sharts-lation or some sort of real-time ML overlay would get you through.
>>543573104Game? Monomono just brings up fucking Danganronpa
>>543577028Tried this on RPCS3? Of course mad 'lad might fuck it up in who-knows-what-way otherwise, but at least some people have gotten through it okay. >xeniahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxIgRizwsfQThe last github entry on it was in 2023 and I have no idea if it's improved since. This video looks okay but apparently its prone to graphical corruption over time. The newer builds and clear gpu cache option might help, though. I have no doubt the game's fiddly to run on both but I have a feeling it can be worked around to some extent.

>>543556931They're completely different.
>>543579678bouken katsugeki monomono. Ymir just goes off a game's internal filename for screenshots so it's usually nonsense.
>>543569065Gematsu used to have an excellent and thorough list of exclusives for all systems but they got rid of that feature for some insane reason.Check wikipedia and mobygames etc.https://www.mobygames.com/group/14766/console-generation-exclusives-playstation-3/
>>543573104
>>543577028For ps3 you're better off just buying a second hand one and modding it. You can do it with a USB stick.
>>543554656That is getting off so fucking easy by Sonic-on-Switch standards. Try playing Frontiers without wanting to kill yourself.
>>543580579Honestly, 360 too considering the state of Xenia, and BadAvatar is an easily executed, acceptable softmod. You don't even have to toil away at one of the worst hardmods ever anymore.
>>543580070I guarantee the overlap between homebrew and emulation is 98% at least
Should I get a proper Dreamcast controller for use with flycast?
>>543582004Don't forget the demoscene, there's overlap too.
>>543582170I don't see how one would benefit whatsoever from using it unless you need the tactile authenticity. At that point you may as well get the dumb tomagotchi memory card that chirps as loud as a smoke alarm and the hardware with the obnoxious optical drive. There's nothing special about what it does. At least the N64 had some truly fucky and unique button placement that's not quite right without a similar controller.
>>543582140
>only sharts and MAME have switchressuch a sadness
>>543579798>>543580579Gave it a shot with the settings on a 3070 13900k crashed the moment you start the tutorial boss, Tried it again and it crashed the entire emulator LMAO. I have a hacked ps3 on standby but still, sad to see emulation still some games are unplayable
>>543580784I'm glad BadAvatar includes UsbdSecPatch, which means I don't have to use a shitty D-pad when playing XBLA Arcade titles natively. A guy at a local store's selling one for $125, which almost makes it a steal.
>>543580238thanks for posting but the website doesnt filter the exclusives, it gives out a complete list
>>543582140just like real life every kid has a phone with an ARM cpu in it
you think they didn't put metaphor on switch so people wouldn't pirate it? they put raidor, which was launched afterwards in it, it's a weird decision
>>543591871too bad it got cracked on PC anyway due to their negligence
>>543588459Yeah, I don't doubt it's fucked up. Just wondering if those things could have helped. Sorry fren.
>>543594381hm, I need to get up to speed with the pc crack news, haven't looked into it in years after empress vanished
9xware running with WINE + Timidity for the music.
>>543594630it's all good, I appreciated the help either way it never hurt to try it out! was hoping it would have worked sadly I think they need to fix the emulator for it like how some games needed the same treatment
>>543597969Yeah I think they fucked up the demo and the same exe could somehow be reworked into the full version. Wasn't a whole-hog Empress style crack.
I haven't played I Spy School Days in over 20 years and would like to.
>>543598024>werxLOL, what a great name for a game.
>>543598159yeah, I got metaphor, btw SMTV for pc wasn't cracked, you have to play the switch version
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvN4hHpfVqQtendie is adding a crt filter to their emulated games, not sure how to feel about that
>>543601646Even if I liked the CRT filter, that ugly border just ain't doing it for me.
>>543600759The demo's cracked into the full version, but it's a possibly transient thing as you need a fresh demo from Steam and it still has Denuvo, it just sidesteps it somehow. Worked last I tried, though.Holy fucking shit he got around to P3R too. Gotta try that. Anyway, 4chan is being a nog about spam detection: search for rikukh3 smtvv and p3r demo unlockers.
>>543602839>demo's cracked into the full versionfound, was wondering why fitgirl didn't have it, he does have metaphorapparently persona 4 golden and 3 reload are all also playable
Still testing ancient-ass DOS games on 86Box. Now onto 1982, and I'm running into a lot more speed-sensitive shit, which, again, is to be expected. I have discovered that almost all of the ones that exit into a BASIC prompt can exit back onto DOS by typing "system", so there's that. Among the titles that do work well, I've discovered a couple of unique, charming titles, but yeah, the vast majority is primitive and janky as fuck. So much of it is hardly worth keeping in a curated pack.
>>543588459>crashed the moment you start the tutorial boss,The average rpcs3 elad experience.Rpcs3 and xenia are such a joke, they will never improve.
Sums the whole game up.

Is RPCS3 the only emulator that supports FSR?
>>543626236Xenia and The switch ones also have FSR.
>>543626236It's fsr 1 so it's just barely any better than the lanczos on Duckstation
>>543626236>>543628837This, and several of them do. It just sucks, like barely any better than FXAA. Motion vectors somehow being detected so FSR4 and DLSS3 would work, now that'd be something. For emus and every other game.
>>543602627Was always put off by some of the jank in the port, almost comes off as a chinese bootleg at times. >any weapon lags a few frames outside of your character sprite, so the pipe will go out of sync with the swing animation for instance>the weird color palette, though a hack addresses thisAlso don't think the music's entirely an upgrade.
Why does Vimm have Nintendo stuff again?I thought they got threatened hard?
>>543598449Probably fine in native Winblows with otvdm + dgvoodoo, if that. The ISO's on myrient ibm.
A competent dev could probably get them to work on the PS3, Xbox 360 and newer console emulators but the emulation scene doesn't have those anymore
>>543635213Meant for >>543632698
>>543635213Get what? Upscaling with motion vectors? Whoever figures that out in a game/engine agnostic way will have achieved something beyond emulation.
There are some talented devs doing great shit with upscaling injection/replacement, though. Shilled it last thread, but Optiscaler can swap any of the smart upscalers out with another (DLSS, FSR>=2, XeSS) and directly inject FG (not a janky LSFG-style post-process) into any game with the above upscalers. Who knows what the future will bring?
>>543635402Wouldn't something like a option that replaces TAA with DLAA/FSRAA if the game uses TAA work? I know that at least in the PS4 a few games use TAA
Someone needs to kemono party Rich Whitehouse's Patreon. >keh-heh, keh-heh, I'm so sigg guise *rattles can*Fuck you and your payware KI emulator.
>>543637017(me) and of course he doesn't open source BigP so we'll have fun using a wrapper/emu to run it in the future.
>>543636574I highly doubt it and it's pointless to speculate anyway since almost no emulatable games use it. Also FSR doesn't do 1x AA.
Could doxbox pure run the sims or no?
>>543640706No, at least not very elegantly. You'd have to mount/install Windows 95 and run it under it and DOSbox 9x support is pretty ugly. The whole thing is just not how you want to go about it. Just PCgamingwiki the original on your native system, eat the remaster slop, or run a decent 9x emu/VM like 86box or Virtualbox. I dare not recommend QEMU...
>>543641717Yeah I was thinking of using 86box but dosbox pure looked easier to use if it was capable of running the game.
>>543641825Yeah, Pure/Unleashed is meant for dragging native DOS zips into DOS-ROM style. 9x is just too nested to work this way.
>>543637017>>543637471>t.Haze
>>543645395I don't have a good rebuttal. I guess this would be things he would say, lol. Still, these things aren't beneficial to anyone. Haze should fix KI in MAME, too.
>ExoWin3's Chip's Challenge is missing all the wav filesNice one, lispy.
>https://archive.org/details/rom-hack-patch-archiveSo i found this thing while searching for something else and there's a ton of stuff i never saw in the Spike site or anywhere else. downloading zip files from the Internet Archive is usually safe right?
>>543651553You won't catch any digital aids off a romhack anyway. It's not like you're executing anything. It's just applying patches to ROMs that run in virtual/emulated machines that shouldn't break out into your system. Use FLIPS to apply them.
>>543634858I believe a lot of those threats were fake and not actually from Nintendo.
https://github.com/xemu-project/xemu/issues?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+author%3AabaireWhen is he going to fork xemu? mborgerson just lets everything rot since he's only active two or three times a year to review things.
>>543651553That's great, thanks for the link.No you won't have a problem for use a rom/iso pack, go nuts anon.
>>543640706Yes, I play The Sims 1 that way. You'll need to install Windows 98 first, though. It’s a Direct3D 7 game, so DOSBox Pure’s Voodoo emulation might not give you the smoothest ride. Check this table for D3D7+ games;https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Virtual_GPU_Adapter_Compatibility_List
>recommending DOSbox 9x in earnestYeah, you could do that. Should you, though?
>>543655083Oh, forgot to mention, DOSBox Pure has no MMX support right now;https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/PC_emulator_comparisons#CPUs For games like Spider-Man (2000) that need MMX, stick with DOSBox-X or 86Box.
Generally it's best to run natively if you can, you'd be surprised what you can get away with via OTVDM + DGvoodoo or similar wrapper. Then you can try some pain in the ass PC emu/VM if it doesn't work.
>>543640263I wish I could get back into godhand, I never quite got used to the combat, especially towards the end game where it really emphasizes juggling combos
>>543651953Quite a few emus have had emulation escape exploits. emudevs don't really have security in mind while coding emus. Just to name a few that have had known exploits>cemu>pj64>zsnes>vba-m
>>543662236No reason to use the latter 3. Real-world example of a malicious exploit for Cemu, please.
Not to mention you'd have to be a real dumb motherfucker to not only use those outdated emulators, but to somehow download a malicious ROM when every ROM site of any repute out there has been using verified No-Intro or Goodsets forever.
>>543662796It affected a version of cemu from 2017. Here's info on the flaw.https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/41021Found by the notorious Nintendo hacker wack0.
>>543664235I think he means to find a case where this was actually exploited and resulted in people's computers getting hacked or whatever.
>>543664581Yes, this.>>543664235I presume it's been patched now?
Anyway, I know shit can break the sandbox, but I think it's pretty FUDy overall to say it's reasonably plausible with most emus and ROMs. You'd have to be the unluckiest or stupidest motherfucker on earth. You'd have to be just about targeted by Tel Aviv to get exploited in this way.
All that said, do try to get the emus themselves from reputable sources. Build them yourself or download binaries from the dev.
>nah we just won't give you a PCSXS2 Windows binary with PGS, go fuck yourself :^)
>what's this, a superior renderer not invented here? AIEEEEEEEEE SAVE ME STENZEKMAN
>>543667027Their Discord’s run by a bunch of Reddit-style liberals; best to avoid it, lol.
>>543670731What discord isn't?
>>543671197Yeah, I dodge Discord as much as I can. Thankfully those NPC types mods are easy to spot, lol; super sensitive, all about flags and pronouns. But there are solid emulation groups out there, like Xenia’s server. They’re chill as long as you’re not a jerk.
>>543671197funny thing is that Discord is banned in my country, lol.
>>543607353don't worry, too busy working on save states atm! can't forget how it took them 5 months to patch out a windows issue so the desktop version on rpcs3 was out of date since at least jun/july until this very month
emu
So,did anyone test Test7800? Seems to be a new Atari 7800 emulator
>>543686551To play what in particular? That Grandpa Munster game or Ninja Golf?
You stay far away from me, you creepy old yid.
I feel dirty for emulating PS1/PS2/PSP ports of Saturn games, but the Saturn emulators out there just seem kind of ass compared to Duckstation, PCSX2 and PPSSPP.Is it just me?
>>543688732>Is it just me?It's not just you, although Striker is trying his hardest to make sure Ymir is a great emu. This is one of the few cases where a MiSTer a best.
>>543688869Resident MiSTer-fag here. Med-Sharts is decent, and SSF has been for ages. I want to emphasize that the MiSTer core really only has the edge in software for jerk testers. It is a difference, though. I bet Ymir will be close in half a year or so.
>>543689242I'm honestly excited that CD-i emulation is making progress. A MiSTer sounds appealing to me just for that reason alone.
>>543690168I'm hoping for more and more cheaper/offbrand options. The Pi's not too badly priced, but the shipping time/supply situation isn't good. Has pre-order batches. I somehow avoided it and got mine in stock.
>>543690453*MisterPi, rather.
>>543688732honestly saturn emulation has been bad for 30 years now, the devs should focus on optimizing the 2~3 games that are still stuck in it and forget about everything else, it has no future, it hasn't had a future in 30 years.
^ same goes for n64 emulation with exception it has no games left in it
>>543687006>Ninja GolfThere's actually a game far better than it with the same concept. And the funniest part is that it's the best Simpsons (console) game pre-Hit & Run.
>>543688732Yeah it is. What Saturn game do you think you can't emulate?
Mahoutsukai ni Naru Houhou (Japan) has a bug in Ymir and Mednafen where when you move between certain screens it loads the wrong background image for a few frames. I can't find hardware footage so I don't know if it's a game bug.
holy shit it's happening, I really am moving to linux once w10 gets deprecated, Im glad emulation works just as well on ithttps://wccftech.com/microsoft-training-gaming-copilot-ai-watching-you-play-games-unless-you-turn-it-off/
ninja gaiden black just werks on the steam 'eck so far>>543700118either that or install windows 10 LTSCi just moved to linux for the sake of trying something new
>>543700340I am on w10 ltsc, have been in it for 5+ years now, but it'll end in 2032 and steam could drop support for it earlier
>>543591871Metaphor doesn't even run properly on PS4 Pro...
>>543700118>having copilot onIt won't be so bad when they poo in the loo so hard you can't justify using Winblows anymore. I've been using a torturous Arch distro with hardly anything included, and I've gotten just about everything I could hope for running.
>>543634757When you compare the Mega CD version to the SNES version, the CD version is a masterpiece.
>>543704335I know, I figured the SNES version was so bad it didn't even warrant mentioning.
>>543688732>Is it just me?Yes. Saturn emulation has been great since like 2007 (I was using SSF). And now Mednafen/beetle exists too so you can run it through a CRT at original resolution/refresh/aspect.
>>543697636https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rhd2qwFmHwYLooks like Japanese channel hw footage; does it do the thing you're talking about? Protip: search youtube or other video sites with the title of the game in runes and "SS", you're likely to find hardware nip clips of it.
>>543704943I can't tell.
>>543704679It doesn't run Mahjong no Ciggy: Doki Doki Pantsu, though. So, yknow.
>>543697636I could test SSF and SiSTer if you know the exact part.
One does have to wonder if the Saturn was just so hard to work with that they just let bugs that weren't game-breaking slide.
>>543705608First 10 seconds. Just move between rooms. Full speed it looks like just a flash of random garbage. If you framestep it's loading the wrong background.
>>543706052I see. From the beginning with Lime (raimu) selected, I can move from left to right, and it doesn't do it, but the return from right to left will do it every time in SSF.
>>543706938>>543706052It does NOT do it on the latest unstable mister core.
MAME-Sat does it too, just to be thorough.
Mednafen falls on its ass yet again. How shocking.
>>543708112>>543697636>>543704943The hardware clip seems not to have the bug either, it may be good for your bug report. I chose Berry this time and retraced his steps to the old man's room. Has the bug on that transition, does not in the vid.
>>543708694https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSUAR4JJdoE&pp=ygUdTWFob3V0c3VrYWkgbmkgTmFydSBIb3Vob3Ugc3M%3DOops, the Berry one was this vid. Still, regardless of the character (there's a different char there in Lime's story) there's a glitch before that room. I don't think these are emus because every software emu fucks up in this way.
>>543708694Can you record a clip of it happening in emulators. That would make it easier than trying to describe it.
>>543655083Cool thanks anon

>>543709630>>543709150added the YT timestamp to the issue as well, don't have to do that.
>>543700118Yeah if you're big into emulation linux at this point is pretty much just as good or better than windows.
>>543700118Just airgap your windows. I haven't trusted that shit since it was revealed the telemetry was unremoveable
Now we play the waiting game
>>543710809Is Nvidia on Loonix a crapshoot, or am I better off going with AyyMD?
>>543711242I think they both work but amd works easier, I'm playing my next upgrade to be amd to make is easier to switch later on
>>543711182lmk of any other all-emu/dubious-if-on-hardware ones. These are actually kind of fun to investigate.
>>543711315That's what I'm thinking too. They perform better on the raster front anyway, and I rarely play modern AAAslop.
Is the AMD+Flycast z-fighting problem in Initial D on all AMD hardware? About to see if I can work around that with a wrapper or not.
>>543711353Baku Baku Animal (Europe). If you try the movie viewer in the options menu it hard crashes Ymir. It's also listed as happening in Mednafen so I don't like the chances of the rest.
>>543711552*in Linux, rather, but it happens in Windows too w/ OGL+Vulkan.
>>543711649Doubt such a feature crashes on hardware, but we've seen some silly shit (like the VFKids demo). I can look.
>>543709362Hearing zsknight talk about how he implemented netplay was really cool! It's crazy that he was one of the first emudevs to consider the thought of runahead.
>>543711649Crashes on all but MiSTer. I'm thinking it has to work on hardware.
>>543713879Disgraceful
>>543554656>Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties.>Try waiting a few minutes and reloading.>(Cannot access the database)its ogre
>>543598449lol I just got this running in Arch + Wine + GCDEMU. Went better than I thought it would. I'll say, though. Had a bit of a time getting GCDEMU and the daemon to start up properly automatically.
>>543709362Cool gonna have to watch that later.
>>543717557It works now, this is normal /emugen/ wiki behavior.
Is she asking me If I like girls with weak bodies?
I do like sailor uranus though. I wonder if she was meant to look like Princess Diana.

I hate this AI bubble so much, I hope China invades Taiwan and crashes the market overnight
>>543731405The worst thing is they fully know it's a bubble and it's only a matter of time before it pops and tanks the world economy with it, so they're just doing everything they can to profit as much as possible so as to best weather the storm when it does while the rest of us eat shit and die.

Do I really want to get into an edit war with some faggot trying to shill the Switch remake of Thousand-Year Door? Kinda do, but also kinda don't cause I'm too lazy to log in and it's late and I'm sleepy.Thanks for reading my blog.
>>543732391>fertility crisisyeah, western-influenced liberal societies are totally cooked, basically self-destructing at this point; and leaning hard on migrants (cucked, lol). Israel’s holding strong, though.>>543731405soon, inshallah.
>>543733847How does Israel's birthrate compare to the surrounding mud shitholes?
>>543734185Pfft, because they ain't Bavlim Jews, they're Euro/Ashkenazi stock, lol. Old habits die hard, you know. Still out-hustling the whites by a mile, though.
>>543734567the only ones that shit out kids are the orthodox fundamentalist jews, it's yasidi or hasidi, the rest of the society is like every other developed society, has low fertility
Would you say they EMULATE the rest of us?
>>543733829what's wrong with the switch version of that game?
>>543739261That's my point. Those 'fundamentalists' are propping up that number, or they'd be just as screwed as the rest of the 'developed' Western libsHaredi: 6.4 (based)Datiim: 3.8Masorti: 2.8Hiloni and seculars: 2.0 (lol)Christians: 1.59 (hahahahah)Yo, can we overclock the fertility rate? My clock speed stuck at 2.1 kids, and I need Haredi-tier RNG with LN2 cooling for 6.4+ spawns
Does anyone have the tweets from that long haired speedrunner freak melting down because PCSX2 wouldn't brick Silent Hill 2 while the remaster was being sold? It was a bunch of 'think of the corporate remasters" garbage and weirdly personal rambling about how emulation was "dishonest" and "can't be trusted" like it was the guy that fucked his wife.
>>543739954Honestly, leaving this planet Heaven's Gate style is probably the best thing for us whites, and the worst thing for the others. Fuck this place and fuck everyone else in it.
>>543761968Selfish take, but I kinda get it. Sucks for the next generation, gonna be a rough ride for them. Yikes
>>543750809Remaster or remake? If this was the early 2010s PCSX2 and computers would have been in a lousier state, to be fair. Also would help to know the era.
>>543739349It seemed okay enough to me at a glance. Just patch the troon part (there's at least some gender fuckery going on with the char even in the OG Jap script) out with the basedmod. It seems like a decent way to get it widescreen, at least. IIRC GC TTYD had some culling/margin jank with all the WS hacks, but maybe they can be ironed out.
>>543766075(Cont) Oh yeah, mod the game for 60fps too. But yeah, the base game does have some issues but they don't seem unfixable.

So, are ryujinx forma safe to sue? How safe ate they for online play?I mean, how come the ldn servers are still working?

I hate work so bad it's unreal. All I want to do is vibe-tweak Linux all day.
>>543768630Dude if you got it off github it's fine. If they put some malicious shit in there, at least rest easy that some fur-oon is going to PMITA prison because they'll be found easily.
>ldn serversWait, they're servers? I thought it was P2P?Me and a friend tried playing Mario Party recently and the game was lagging so bad. Is there anyway we can connect to each other directly? Another emulator or fork perhaps?

Anyone know where I can download the PS4 version of Unicorn Overlord? I wanted to try to emulate it on shad but can't find a US one. I only found an asian one with an english patch which is weird.
>>543816279Is there a reason to emulate that one over the Switch ver?
>>543818043Resolution maybe? Controller buttons too I guess. I also just like the PS4 emulator and it seems it runs the game perfectly.
>>543797715The fat white kid with glasses had to have been inspired by some Dabido type they saw in Akihabara.
>>543727419They stole the ocarina mechanic + learning new songs with different button inputs from wonderboy in monster world/dynastic hero.
>>543813428First 2 lunarsFirst 2 grandiasSkies of ArcadiaSome of the best JRPG's in existence because they capture a sense of adventure and they don't get bogged down in convoluted plots.
>>543816279Man I really can't find it anywhere, the PS4 pirate scene is pretty tiny I suppose. Switch it is.
>>543813428it does feel a little jarring playing RPGs on the Genesis/Sega CD, the snes was tailor made for them, i don't know. Maybe it's the color palette even though i do find Phantasy Star use it better looking.
>>543797715Looks like guest-composite. I have a similar preset. I was about to do you one by better by combining an RGB one with a dithering algo, but this game hates every algo. I found one that looks great for this scene, but like ass in other parts of the game.
>>543821872Maybe I'll give Lunar another shot. I think I somehow missed the magical time to play it when it was novel both stylistically and in gameplay. By the time I got it on PS1, it seemed super-dated and boring compared to other RPGs on the system. I think Grandia's okay. I liked 2 on the DC. Bounced off Skies, found it plodding.
>>543824659I should have kept the box and everything, though. Bet that thing goes for a house payment on eBay now.
>>543824479You can make it so guest-ntsc blends dithering while retaining RGB colors and (for the most part) sharpness, without any composhit artifacts. Pretty much best of all worlds
>>543731405at least it will die within this decade
>the persona 3 reload demo crack werxWell I'll be. I know it's a pointless remake, but it may be more palatable for my zoom-zoom gf.
>>543829401yeah but it sucks you have to have the demo installed on steam, I wish you could goldberg emu it and have it offline
>>543733390
>>543829546Yeah, it's very transient and subject-to-change, but Riku's SMTVV one's worked for awhile. I wish machine learning would somehow be leveraged against DeJewNose.
In High Velocity - Mountain Racing Challenge (USA) what is wide TV mode meant to do? In emulators it seems to do nothing.
>>543829767I imagine it changes the FOV/internal aspect ratio. A few Saturn games had that, like Panzer Dragoon Zwei I think.
one of the reasons i have taken to hate dolphin. back to play in pcsx2 i guess
>>543830065The purple line? There's gotta be a way around it. That PS2 version is so goddamn scuffed. Don't do that.
>>543830065anon just play the PC version
>>543830151The crosshairs. Once it moves with motion controls it never goes back to the center unless I relaunch the game.>>543830310No
>>543830857Oh so it's the Wii one? How are you approximating the motion controls, or are you using a wiimote?
>>543829767LMAO, it's vert-minus widescreen. Lame. Taken in Med-Sharts.
>>543831343I use a Dualshock 4 which has motion controls so if I as much as tilt the controller the crosshairs moves out of the center and it never goes back. Pausing the game does not help. I have to relaunch the game.
>>543824307Maybe it's jarring because all the other types of RPGs on the Genesis have an action slant to them. (Which is one of the reasons why I prefer that console to the SNES, story bores the hell outta me.)
>>543833729I'll tell you what doesn't have a boring story, Earthworm Jim. God, I wish games didn't take themselves seriously anymore.
What are the logistics of porn karaoke? Are you meant to stand and hold the mic in one hand while jerking off with the other while singing? This was Saturn only so were you meant to do it alone in your apartment? Or was it intended as a group activity like normal karaoke?
>>543835256Maybe it's karaoke, euro style.
>>543835360What is that? You sit in the corner while N'gubu rapes your wife?
>>543835565Pretty sure they just sing, since I don't believe nudity is a huge deal over there. It didn't become a big deal until a bunch of religious weirdos from the UK decided to move out and form what is now America.
>>543835726I'm pretty sure you're meant to jerk off to playboy.
>>543835942...OK, you got me there. Maybe it IS the type of game you play alone, which doesn't surprise me with Japan's whole loneliness epidemic.
>>543830065I'm using DS4 w/ DS4Win + gyro passthru (i.e., not binding the gyro to a virtual stick or mouse -- sending motion controls directly to Dolphin) using SDL as pictured here. I was about to say yes, the troons fucked it up and RE4 doesn't seem to work right; just like you it was assfucked for me in RE4. Do you wanna know what the fucking fix was? I had upright wiimote selected. Have both upright AND sideways remote positions unticked, and you should be able to aim just fine with your DS4 in RE4.>captcha ASSJS
Setting a recenter button is also recommended. Also, if you're using DS4Win Schmaldeo fork, you can reset the gyro without having to reset the controller with a bind. Before I did the upright/sideways deselect even plain mouse aiming in RE4 was fucked.
with CPUs getting much better every 2 years now, in contrast to 2013~2020 when intel dominated the market and CPUs got 10% better each gen at best, I think emulating PS3, PS4 and 360 will finally be very easy as emulating PS2, GC and Switch are now.
>>543837256If you think all the problems with PS3 emulation come from not having CPU powerful enough, I'm afraid you'll get a little disappointed.
>>543837684I think having a power cpu will "fix" the frame rates, the devs will still ahve to fix textures and graphical stuff.
>>543836301I already had them disabled. I guess I can try to click enabled in motion input to disable motion controls just in RE4 and see if that fixes it for me.

Would you believe that Wine's default (but slow, rocks my old 7970HD) wined3d wrapper renders Initial D properly? DXVK brings me back to square one, though. I bet wined3d would work fine on that one linux-anon's machine having problems with this game in Flycast.

>>543821872>>543813428>I never got the appealSame here, always felt like JRPGs, CRPGs and turn-based shit belonged in 3rd/4th/5th gen cuz of hardware limits (ARPGs aside). Graphics can look sick now sure, but the gameplay's still so fuckin' basic it feels like playin' chess for hours on end
>>543877950I’m super into retro and retrofuturistic stuff; DVDs, ‘90s/2000s PC games with those slick-ass installers; simulations, strategy (no 4x turn-based snoozefests tho), or anything with pre-rendered isometric graphics, solid AI or physics. Messed with 3rd to 7th gen but 6th-7th gen was my jam.Red Alert 2, Desperados, Commandos, Age of Empires II, Europa 1400, Diablo, Anno series, Postal, Deus Ex, Hitman 2 (2002) etcngl, grand strategy’s dope too (real-time with pause shit)

You could always drag a shaderglass window over his pics if they bother you. I don't think he's the "run an external app to fix something" type. ShaderGlass isn't 'free', also. Has a small amount of lag and subtle frame pacing issue. It does as well as it can for a post-process, though.
>>543892489but in the show Hank was right in that instance.
>>543892795
I can safely conclude that troonux is the way to go if you're connecting a CRT to your PC for emulation. You'll want to die, and you'll end up reinstalling a dozen times before you get it right, but it's the way to go. The lag is extremely low and you don't have to fuck with VMMaker; RA justwerx with 15khz/31khz/31khz+120hz when you set it, and it switches fast. However, even in the most ideal environment RA + PS1 will not switchres as smoothly as a MiSTer or console in Chrono Cross, though. It will flicker to desktop and crack in sound, however briefly, between modes.>MAMEPS1's broken in MAME. It and RA are basically the only games in town for Switchres. It also just doesn't switchres seamlessly. It's fast, but not perfect.

>>543951658Quit while you're ahead.
>>543952280Yeah but if the wind is right you can sail away and find tranquility.
>>543942994Where is it faster?
>>543888574
>>543830065The gamecube version is the only version with the original gameplay/balancing/difficulty/ammo etc.Every other version has been watered down.
>>543955795And it doesn't look any better. Drag glass across your wrist.
>>543956575The base content is really too shitty to matter. It's all in good fun. Some of the dithering's gone anyway. I wasn't the one insisting you do it.
>>543895289What's far easier with those games that switch res like chrono cross, is to just run them all in 240p but use an interlacing shader pass. They will auto detect when the vertical resolution goes above 240p and automatically engage the interlacing flicker.It looks indistinguishable from actual hardware.
>>543956906240p is not the same as 480i in static scenes, which they are used in the most. You'll end up with something that looks low res but downsampled. If you want a static, no-switch, setup something has to give: You have to run it all interlaced to keep the high resolution, or run it all 240p and take the knock to resolution in those scenes. That or eat the switches.
>>543956797LG
>>543957405Looks funny originally, too.
I debated running the emulator natively with the shader instead of just dragging shaderglass over it and approximating the scale to eliminate jaggies, but meh, I just don't think the content is too low-quality to matter much.
>>543895289Silent Hill and Dino Crisis also have interlaced menu's and playing them with crtemudriver genuinely drove me insane with the audio crackle every time I enter the menu. Luckily, most games will be just 240p so it doesn't bother me that much either.I tried GroovyArcade as well and the crackle is still there but slightly less. It does seem to switch slightly faster as well. It's crazy that my Wii is far more seamless at switching between progressive and interlaced.
>>543960893Been using GA + KMS(lol)/Vulkan lately and it seems to switch the fastest.
>>543927148I realized my retardation a minute or two after posting but kept quiet hoping no one answers. The missing indentation of the if endif block made me overlook it's part of a larger functional block.
>>543956575Calm down bro, it's not that serious.
gonna start doing the ps3 exclusives list after the switch, it shouldn't have more than 20 games unironically
it's 50, but it could be trimmed

oh man it's going to take weeks to get these ps3 games, I didn't knew the links were so sketchy
honestly there's a ton of ps2 games remastered on the ps3, rpcs3 is going to be huge as it raises their game compatibility
>>5438605402 actually
>>543983156welcome to 2015most of these remasters are playable already
>>543989752well people still play god of war on ps2 and it's the most used benchmark game and they all have 720p widescreen hd versions on the ps3

If you're not or using original 240p modes like on a CRT, it's going to fuck up the pixel grid and there will be shimmering, fucked text, etc. You also want an integer multiple + nearest neighbor if you're applying a shader externally, like ShaderGlass or Retroarch's WindowCast, otherwise you'll have a garbage in, garbage out situation. Scaling/shading aside, the aspect ratio is totally up to you. Some games have correct geometry with DAR, some look proper with it stretched to another ratio.
>>544025189and some games are a godforsaken nightmare where some assets adhere to one ratio, and some adhere to another because fuck it it's the 90s baby
Shamefully, despite being deep in the troonux weeds lately, I have not fucked with QEMU at all yet. I have virtman installed but it was being a linuxy bitch about file permissions. Worst thing about this stupid OS is how anal it is about permissions, root, cxmod, etc. I'm about to just run as root or somehow enable full permissions on everything if there's a way to do it.
>>544025653@thelinuxguyShould I just use https://github.com/kjliew/qemu-3dfx or something else? I built that idiot's but maybe that's asking for trouble and I should wipe it and use this.
>>544025653just use "sudo", it really is not that difficult>>544026180this is exactly what I've been using
>>544026619Yeah, I thought about just running it with sudo, or I should have. It was late lol.
>>544024342This has nothing to do with accuracy, feel more like a controler/input issue.
>>544009587I know it's really not the point, but I am quite curious how it deals with very early DirectX/Glide games, before shit got more or less standardized.
>>544025653>>544026180Someone should just fork QEMU and build a PCem/86box style frontend for it
One thing I will say: In Linux I question the necessity of QEMU for Winshit. WINE seems fairly robust and competent for Win9x stuff even. Any examples of things that run better/at all in QEMU but not in WINE?
>>544028229could you give some examples so I can test them? the oldest game with 3d acceleration I was able to run was Descent with 3Dfx patch
>>544028592WINE = wine prefixes, which means windows compatibility modes, patches, fixes etc, pretty much what you would expect when attempting to run an old game on modern WindowsQEMU = full Win9x/NT virtualization
>>544028485Virtmanager for troonux is kinda-that. There are ones for Windows but they don't seem as well-made or feature rich. Of course, one has to be enough of a dickchopper or some kind of lunatic to use Linux in the first place, so that nullifies the userfriendliness of this option.
>>544028485There are bigger issues with qemu-3dfx than just the frontend (which is somewhat solvable if you use simple scripts to handle it). The reliance on guest-side wrappers is a pain; if these could be streamlined, it’d be way more user friendly for casual users. WHPX compatibility issues are another headache.https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Windows_NT_5.x_emulators#Hypervisors
>>544029105I keep reading that you guys have severe issues with WHXP, and while there's no question that it is inferior to KVM, from my experience the performance is literally on par to KVM, for the most part at least. so I have to ask, are you using kjliews builds? are your Windows up to date?
>>544029383>>543001678>>543016379
>>544029383I will be using KVM when I get around to it. I am using some e-waste Intel i5-9300 + some barely capable of Vulkan HD 7870 w/ AMDGPU: what am I in for with QEMU3dfx? Not expecting crysis anyway, more curious about 99-2005 stuff and Win9x.
>>544029689Yeah... My main goal with qemu-3dfx is running WinXP~Vista stuff (D3D7+). I’m already using VMware and VirtualBox for that, and there are solid emulators for MS-DOS and Win9x... Thing is, I’m not a fan of using Wine or WoW64.
>>544029645those are mine posts!first of all, your CPU is fairly old, which means that you won't be needing this https://github.com/JHRobotics/patcher9xmake sure you're also including this parameter >kernel-irqchip=offthere's a possibility that 21H1 is to blame for your issues, I don't suppose you can update now that Win10 reached EoL, right?fwiw I was on Win10 22H2 Edu editioncan you try using this build? it's an older version based on QEMU 8.0.1https://gofile.io/d/KBwpBF >>544030304from my testing everything up to F.E.A.R works, I have no idea about Vista though, I believe that is outside of the scope of this project

>>544028619Pretty much anything before 1998 or so. MechWarrior 2, Tomb Raider, etc.
>>544027793Doubt it, because it only affects just one magic ability, Dark Metamorphosis, others inputs are recognised just fine like Hellfire or Summon Spirit.
>>544033910Your machine/controller may not like the way it handles a particular input API. Try forcing xinput, dinput, raw, sdl (something other than what you're using now) in Ducko's settings.
Also make sure it's not something stupid like up not being bound, something subtle like that.
So did everyone just ignore the fact that shart's Dolphin core got updated to be close to upstream?
>>544034540Kinda, because it's hardly worth using unless you're a switchres fag. I'm also able to get MM9 scaled/shaded right with that core; can't quite pull it off in standalone.
>>544034696The core options are also getting updated, which is good because they were a clusterfuck beforehand.
>>544034809Neat, wish LARPS would get a few more standalone options too. Still prefer to use that over maister's PCSX2 build for my CRT.
>>544030921My guess is the issue comes from either my host OS setup or some weird hardware-QEMU interaction on Windows;https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/1820https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/858https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/1043No matter what’s breaking it, i think leaning on OS-level virtualization stacks sucks, especially with Microsoft’s proprietary solutions. KVM is pretty dope, though.>>544030921The reason I stopped updating Windows 10 is what I mentioned earlier: VMware and VirtualBox. Their integration tools have discontinued support for legacy Windows guest OSes, so running them on newer host OS versions could lead to all sorts of glitches; similar to the Win32 API tweaks in 24H2/ shims/EmulateHeap, UserRegisterWowHandlers, and secdrv.sys situation.

I feel like it's a dev tactic to make the UX so bad that most people will say fuck it, and this is a way to hide actual core problems. I think QEMU is such a case. I think it does a lot of things no other program does, but it's such bullshit to set up that only a dozen freaks are gonna figure out what's *really* wrong or right with it.
>>544039852(cont) I'm willing to become one of those freaks. Already fucked with it a fair bit in Winblows, but jesus christ this thing takes real mental energy to use. This is something people should be paid to set up for people.
>>544039664It could be that, or there might be an issue with my host OS setup, although I haven't encountered any problems with Hyper-V. That said, WHPX is a subset and not quite the same thing, so....

>>544040619Oh yeah, it works if you slam your dick on it enough, but I think the proof's in these threads that this thing is very prone to user misunderstanding and misconfiguration in Windows, let alone Linux. This is by far the hardest emu to set up from scratch. I've fucked with them all: MAME, 'sharts, PCem n forks, J-PC of all kinds, Mac emus... this one makes me want to eat my own head the most. Beyond that, there's fucked up things no one's explored but us. Like Quicktime being bad under all the hypervisors/sound options in modern Win hosts. I am fully counting on it still being fucked up for me in Arch even though it WOYM lol. It doesn't matter how good the emulation is when it basically obfuscates itself from the user through an aggressive bad UX.
>>544040619TCG works fine in QEMU (https://boards.4chan.org/vg/thread/542766845#p543009637), but the thread flag’s a no-go.. It beats WHPX in performance, but honestly, it’s still not acceptable; "-L", "..\pc-bios" "-M", "pc,accel=tcg,kernel-irqchip=off" "-cpu", "max" "-smp", "1" (or 2) "-m", "512" "-object", "memory-backend-ram,id=ram,size=512M,prealloc=on" "-display", "sdl,gl=on"
>>544034540Really? That's really good hear, that core was last synced with upstream like 4 years ago.Hopefully they don't do the big retard this time and keep the retroarch patches separate from the main code.

>>544045921>tcg should never beat whpx under any circumstances, looks like your whpx api is fuckedAgreed, that’s what I’m suspecting too.
>>544046642I see your point, perhaps my autism prevents me from acknowledging that using a terminal instead of GUI is shit for most people
>>544046967Yeah, it's a fun thing to fuck with in any case. Sometimes. It's a bummer when I don't have a full day off to truly immerse myself. Too busy and brainfogged to really sit down with it lately. Perhaps tonight/tomorrow morning.
>>544046964(cont) or QEMU may have a bug with WHPX on specific host OS or hardware configurations...

Where do I go for Switch games? nxbrew is fucking cancer
Just found out you can download emulators off the iPhone App Store. Visiting family then I’ve got eight hours of planes and layovers so why the heck not. What’s the best emulator you can get on iPhone? And what runs the best on it considering touch screen. I can’t imagine something like Metroid fusion would play great. Also I have an iPhone 12, I can’t imagine genesis games would run great on it, right?
>>543990029Because they are retards. It was the best way to play them in higher res until parallel-gs, since PCSX2 on hardware mode would have some graphical issues even with hacks. Also less demanding.
>>543995997Dual core has always been "unsafe" since it works by basically decoupling CPU and GPU threads, it's just that you simply don't need it anymore on modern hardwareAnd there's not much else to parallelize about GC/Wii, it doesn't have some arcane architecture like the PS2 which is heavily parallelized (VUs, EE co-processors, IOP, etc). It's just a single core PPC and a GPU.
>>544067404I played Earthbound on some shitty walmart lg smartphone like 7 years ago, you could easily play anything up to gamecube without issues on an iphone 12Grab retroarch and you are good to goPersonally I wouldn't play anything very action oriented unless you have a controller or something. You may be able to get away with some 3d titles if you do not need to manipulate the camera much.
>>544067404Anything Apple allows you to use, ifag retard.Modern phones are powerful enough to emulate even PS3, the only real limitation is the OS, which, in the case of iOS, is pretty gimped unless you do some gymnastics to enable JIT and sideload, but for shit like genesis you don't even need that. Just check the wiki and see if another ifag recommended an emulator for it.And yes, basically anything not turn based will be a mediocre to shit experience without a controller, that's why mobile gaming never really took off.
>>544069976The Wii is definitely an easier console to emulate than the PS2. I remember I used to keep a save to compare performance for different drivers, backends and emulator updates with RE4 PCSX2. The open area of the cemetery is what used to give me slowdowns so I used to use to test performance years ago. Maybe I should try to test there again.Pic related is with dual core disabled. Potato hardware didn't notice so it makes me wonder if it even did anything.
>>544069976modern hardware is relative, is zen 3 good enough? or does it need zen 4 or 5? zen 3 x3d caps at 4ghz and zen 5 x3d hits 5.2ghz, the difference is massivethey should release cpu specs for running with 1 or 2 cores
>>544071967They posted this in the last progress report, sounds like anything made in the last decade is in the clear.
>>544071939It used to help me get playable framerates in some games when I had a i3 laptop... in 2010.
Are any of the emulators on Switch good or should I just inject games into NSO?
but i can see AT LEAST 3 different multi-threading options in Dolphin.>enable dual core in game config>general>deterministic dual core in game config>general>backend multithreading in game config>graphics>advancedthey need to be more specific on which ones to disable
>>544074103>Software renderer multithreading differs from Vulkan API backend multithreading, which parallelizes draw calls in hardware rendering, leveraging Vulkan’s explicit memory management for better CPU efficiency. In other words, when the CPU wants to make something draw it has to issue a "draw call," which takes up CPU time. On older APIs this was nearly all done on one thread. Because different threads cannot easily share rapidly updated data, multi-threading would often cause synchronization overhead, limiting performance benefits. Vulkan avoids this by explicitly defining memory usage and dependencies, allowing draw calls to be distributed across threads more efficiently, which (usually) improves performance. https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/High_and_low-level_emulation#Rendering_Advancements
>>544074103one enables dual corethe other improves dual core (so netplay doesn't shit itself iirc)and the later is for the video thread itself, so it can spawn more threads to draw shit, should be pretty safe
>>544074103enable dual core is the basic option that is disabled. Deterministric is a option derived from the first one to try help fix shit from the first. No idea what the third is about but anyway, that the first that has to go if you don't want 2/3 of your games to crash on boot.

>>544078446Okay, then why even bother saying anything if the links are dead?
>>544073842There's a possibility that NSO's Genesis emulator may or may not play M2's Space Harrier ports since it uses the same emu as the Genesis Mini. However, those ROMs in particular haven't been decrypted as far as I'm aware, so I don't think you'll be able to inject them as you would any other Genesis ROM.
>>544085490It doesn't. It's interesting in fact.
>>544085941I'd be shocked if M2's Gen emulator includes the fantasy hardware necessary for those to work.

I've found virtman + QEMU's mounting to be kind of shitty. Works with ISOs, not having great luck with cue/bin.

>>544090315>>544100014I was at an airport you socially maladjusted weirdos how do you miss me saying that outright. I would normally just be playing highly modded mechwarrior or the new ninja gaiden but my rig doesn’t fit in a carryon and I don’t have any mobile handhelds since I gave them to my younger cousins and nephew. Maybe I should get one of those emulation machines that looks like a gameboy or something, I forgot how much fun old games were to just play in your hand.
>>544106814x86fag here, you'll get tons of mileage out of a Deck. (Or any AMD-based x86 handheld, so long as you're using Loonix and not Winblows. Trust me, Winblows does NOT perform well. SteamOS was tailor made with those devices in mind.)
>>544107921I don’t really wanna spend 500 dollars to play advance wars 2 when $50 raspberry pi devices exist. Just something I can throw in a jacket pocket (comfortably) would be ideal. Though I guess I could play Silksong or drop dutchy on a deck.
>>544107921honestly I really believed in arm for mobile because I think battery life is that important but lately I've been thinking more and more and x86 really is the way to go because so many games get ported to PC in the end that you really want to have them running native.but I'll wait at least 3 more years to buy a device like that because they are just not good for how much they cost right now.
>>544108939On one hand, I can't say I'm against ARM since Android isn't as locked down as Apple at the current moment. However, I've heard that if you want functional Switch emulator or Winlator compatibility, you'd have to go with a Snapdragon SOC or nothing at all. There's also this weird RDNA2 phone that is nothing short of driver hell.

One common thread that I kept seeing while I was reading about this game before playing it was that the puzzles were awful on an entirely different level. And I wasn't really feeling that until whatever you would call this. This is transcendentally bad. If you asked me to create the worst video game I could possibly think of I wouldn't be able to come up with something worse. Holy fuck gooks are like lemon cars they just physically don't work right.
>>544115417They do, better than turn your image into a dark blurry mess.
>>544127448The same way you turn a regular folder into an ISO with the proper program. For base game you have to extract and decrypt it in an ISO format, then turn it back into an ISO.
>>544143815Thanks for the clarification. So, the key is using ddthru, other than that, the process is similar to other VMs with wrappers. Good to know, appreciate it, really.Could you share how you're handling the ddthru process? Are you using shell commands for it? I see these commands in .sh files for kjliew's terminal;cp -f win32/wine/$DDTHRU/ddraw.dll $SYSTEMDIR/$CACHE/ddraw.dllcp -f $SYSTEMDIR/$CACHE/ddrawwq.dll $SYSTEMDIR/cp -f $SYSTEMDIR/$CACHE/ddraw.dll $SYSTEMDIR/cp -f win32/wine/$DDTHRU/dsound.dll $SYSTEMDIR/$CACHE/dsound.dllcp -f $SYSTEMDIR/$CACHE/dsoundwq.dll $SYSTEMDIR/cp -f $SYSTEMDIR/$CACHE/dsound.dll $SYSTEMDIR/echo "SUCCESS: $DDTHRU installed"

My PC crapped out and it's going to take a while to fixTell me about the chink handhelds
>>544177412No. Get real and fix it. Windows takes no time at all to install and get ready these days, and parts can be acquired overnight or two-day.
I just want an easily updateable set with all the unnecessary clones and obvious trash removed I don't think that's too much to ask but no somehow it's better to make everyone do it individually and make updating a pain in the ass
>>544177591It's the 7 year old motherboard that crapped out, I wouldn't be asking here if it was a simple software fix I'm saying this because I'm broke and I'd rather save up for a proper replacement for my old desktop and hold out with a cheap gaming device in the meantime
>>544177740It's too subjective, you may have to be the change you want if you want a no-trash/no-clones set. As for a fullset + updates just get 279 or later merged, then download updates as they come from https://pleasuredome.github.io/pleasuredome/mame/ and put those update files in /280/ /281/ and have MAME look in those too.
>>544177869New parts, then. If you're goodwill gorilla welfare case (have fun when EBT drops lmao) get a used Optiplex for peanuts off of eBay and throw a 480/580 or something in there. You shouldn't buy a chinkheld unless you're a miserable public commuter.
>>544177412Chink handhelds are for fomo consoomer faggots. That having been said, I have an original anbernic rg35xx and its good for GB, GBC, NES, and SNES. GBA is ok but if you like to integer scale its pretty small. It can run ps1 games but I wouldn't recommend playing any games that rely heavily on the r2 and l2 buttons just because its a bit uncomfortable. I've thought about upgrading but because I'm not a consoomer whore I've resisted the urge. If you can't then you will find yourself eternally disappointed and constantly buying new chinkhelds and shitposting on /vr/'s handheld general.
>>544178356Actually consider a workstation full-tower model like Precision 3620 or HP Z240 so you get a power supply that'll work with GPUs. These are still fairly cheap. Just search hp z or dell precision i7 tower and double check their specs/psus

>>544223891can you tell which version is best here? how do you learn?i get confused about this thing when there are multiple revisions, and files are named game.zip, gamea.zip, gameb.zip - shouldn't gameb.zip be the latest/best version? or is game.zip automatically the latest version (so in reality, game "c"?)because for console roms, you always want, the file labeled with the latest rev, correct? but it's different for arcade sets?
>>544240432no one normal plays the same mmo for 20+ years
it's actually so retarded that we still have developers on psx, ps2, gamecube, wii and psp emulators when the work is already done, the emulators are 90% done and there very improvement that can be done meanwhile xbox360, ps3, ps4, vita and switch emulation is pretty bad for the most part with a lot of improvement that could be had with little work from those experienced devs that are much better than the ones running those newer console emulators currently

>>544241102>for console roms, you always want, the file labeled with the latest revGenerally but not always. For example with Ocarina of Time you want Rev 1, not Rev 2, because Rev 2 has the censored blood and censored Fire Temple music

>>544241830What emudevs work on, and the extent to which they do so, entirely depends on their very particular interests.

>>544251907Yes. At the very least if this nutbag's fixes make it into main QEMU in general, I feel like I've done some good by highlighting it.
>>544251907>>544252005I may also pivot back to Windows if he's fixed it in Windows. About that: are those WHXP commits/builds 90bux or can they be built from github?
>>544252005after testing wheel of time on windows myself, I asked him about it the issue, and he actually fixed it, in case you missed the video I've posted abovebad news is, you almost definitely need his wined3d stuff to make it work on whpx, unlike with KVM where it works out of the box
>>544252349Oh good. I am starting to see why thelastangryman hates emudevs lol.
This killjew guy really gives off Terry Davis vibes, that's for sure.
I will say, between Linux switchres under Arch, getting emulators/wrappers to work under it, and getting other daily-driving specific use case shit going, I no longer fear Windows becoming usable. I'm ready to switch.

>>544252227you can build the custom qemu3dfx binaries, and OpenGL/Glide wrappers yourself, you can't compile his directx wrappers, and dsoal/ddthru etc
>>544252227but for Win98 VM you can use SoftGPU instead for directx, it is inferior to his binaries, but at least it works
>>544217072very nice
>>544223547Most of those pirated 9999-in-1 multicarts and shit work fine on the recommended emus listed here:https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Nintendo_Entertainment_System_emulatorsMesen, puNES, and Nestopia UE have killer mapper support for unlicensed/bootleg crap. NintendulatorNRS is solid too and handles VTxx chips (those V.R. Tech NOACs in cheap plug-n-plays).No clue on Sunplus-based bootlegs tho, they're on totally different hardware? as far as i know those are not straight NES clones, so regular NES emus probably won't cut it. You got a dump collection or ROMs for those games?Can someone beef up this wiki section on UMC (clone chips like UA6527/UA6528 for early famiclones) and Sunplus setups? It's pretty bare rn;https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Nintendo_Entertainment_System_emulators#Hardware_variants
>>544258727>You got a dump collection or ROMs for those games?No, but they're on mdk.cab. And yes, Sunplus hardware is bespoke. In fact, a few legitimate devices used Sunplus hardware such as the V.Smile and HyperScan.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTJYC6nEWSU>windows me is better than 98 on gaming benchmarksI wonder how compatible it is with 98 software, maybe it's worth checking if it's a better vm host than 98
>>544259796ME was basically 98SE plus some updates and new features, though it may have deprecated some really old libraries that early Windows games relied on. It also, as we all know, almost completely gutted DOS mode.
>>544260084there is a way to use dos mode, shown at the end of the video
>>544254742PC emus or SoftGPU with qemu3dfx work solid for Win9x games.As it seems, for Windows XP (D3D7+), qemu3dfx is a solid option over those clunky Type-2 VMs. But you’ll need KJ Liew’s vmaddons.iso for those ddthru hooks, virtio-win-0.1.141_x86.vfd for Virtio drivers, and WineD3D wrappers per game (check each game’s video API first, obviously). It’s a workaround until Mesa Gallium 9 drivers or something better lands.WHPX isn't working on my VM PC setup, probably a qemu bug... Gonna test it on my main rig later. Linux KVM runs fine, but I’m already doing GPU passthrough there...https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Windows_NT_5.x_emulators#Comparison
is crazy taxi vibration on both redream and flycast broken or? also the skybox is super lowres pixelized in flycast, is it intended?
kinda mad I have to install every ps3 game and then download updates before being able to archive them, the whole process is so much more taxing than the switch archiving was
>https://github.com/ARMSX2/ARMSX2Apparently there's a new FOSS PS2 emulator for Android, haven't tested yet but this one seems legit
>>544254138>No deaconblood>Outaded shit>Switchrom "Best", only have 10% of the libraryThis is Shit.
>>544254553So can you, or have you in other gofile uploads, share those wrappers?
>>544260437Yeah but why would you? There's absolutely nothing in ME that benefits anyone for gaming and you're just adding steps.
>>544071967Anything from 3rd gen i3/5/7 or 1st gen overclocked if on the hedt socket. An i7-930 overclocked to even like 4ghz (I've never heard of one being unable to do 4.2ghz). A bit later for laptop chips.
>>544099758Okay and a lightly used enterprise 16TB HDD is $180
>>544252987WINE or API/protocol compatible free alternatives that'll let you work with your coworkers using them would probably work fine. I get not wanting to rock the boat or play autism games with that, though.
>>544264379Broken how? Screenshot? Compare it with hardware footage.
>>544280224I do remember some games would have a few unfiltered textures: HOTD2 had some grimy examples of this.

This is wrong if you are using qemu-3dfx:"-M pc,accel=whpx,kernel-irqchip=off -cpu max -m 512 -display sdl,gl=on"Do NOT use -cpu max with accel=whpx. Also do NOT use "gl=on" with qemu-3dfx. Try this instead:"-M pc,accel=whpx,kernel-irqchip=off -m 512 -display sdl"With "accel=whpx" you do not need -cpu parameter at all. However, kernel-irqchip=off is mandatory for Windows 98 and XP under Qemu.Use "-cpu max" only with tcg acceleration. For example:"-M pc,accel=tcg -cpu max -m 512 -display sdl"What about "-cpu host"? Use it only under Linux with KVM. For example:"-M pc,accel=kvm -cpu host -m 512 -display sdl"
>>544275168I'll be completely honest, I'm very hesitant to share the shit you can't compile, because of this https://github.com/kjliew/qemu-3dfx/issues/171 (thanks for letting me know about this lol I had no idea)I don't want my donations to go to waste, because the guy is patient enough to offer instructions, guides, upgrades for years.also, no matter how many times someone leaks his addons, they still are incapable of reverse engineering them and replicating them.the fact that nobody else has managed to replicate his work after all those years, kinda makes me believe he deserves the money.am I retarded for thinking like this? probably
>>544284412yup, this is correct>>544284560you can replicate his results on Win98 with OpenGL and Glide wrappers, and replace the WineD3D with SoftGPUas for WinXP...tough shit
>>544284485Alright. That's kinda "fuck this" in Windows then. This is too much nutbaggery for any decent person to deal with. I may mess with it in Linux more if I do at all, or just build/use kharovtobi's stuff as it's proven to work w/ hardware acceleration for me so far. Thanks for using your donation to look into my use case, though.

>>544285565you have to know the lore, it all traces back to deleted threads on Vogons 6-7 years ago, people were going after him for shitting on PCem, then the mods begun aggressively deleting his posts, and ultimately I think they banned him and any discussion about qemu3dfx altogetherthis is why he's now on the "dark side" etcat least he's not talking like that regarding my technical inquires about his project lol

I think my Retroarch folder is haunted. Every couple weeks I come back to it and the audio is muted for no reason, or a random DSP plugin gets enabled that makes the audio sound like shit.
Anyone emulating GG Strive? For some reason the latest DLC isn't working for me. The new characters don't appear even though I have the update.

If the next thread isn't inherently a trash edition I will be disappointed.
>>544300851It's not denuvo'd or anything; why?
>>544300235ngl this is hillarious
>>544304426For old games, speed isn't everything, it should be noted. Lots of ways to slow down a program though via host or guest.
>>544304224I prefer to emulate pirated games. It feels safer.
>>544306819I get it. Sometimes I wonder how I haven't had a single slavic spending spree on my bank records.
>>544307838I think malware is more likely to do subtle things that you won't notice than straight up steal your money.
>>544269221>Outdated shitYou don't need the latest firmware or prod.keys updatefag>this website doesn't have my game wahhhIts called scroll down and pick another site, does everything need to be spoonfed to you? Or can you do any of this without someone holding your hand?
>>544307838naah, Slavs are based, they aren't cucks like Germanics nowadays..
>>543942994>why do they go and tell lies on the internetWhy do you?Vulkan IS faster than OpenGL in literally all scenarios that offer both as an option.
>>544226514Improvements and progress is subjective.Don't trust retards like >544227382 though.If you check the commit history or even just the program itself, you'll quickly find out there's code changes beyond UI stuff, and options that no other Yuzu fork (or Ryujinx fork) has.I don't know how are the latest versions compiled though, but the emulator has been crashing consistently whenever I try to boot up anything in a version past v0.0.3-rc2.
>>544315271Sometimes devs fuck it up. See: dolphin ubershaders not working on NV +Vulkan. There's some instances of Xemu being slower with the VK renderer. Vulkan should be, and usually is, faster and better though.
>>544288063>>544286670>>544284412I followed every step in this tutorial guide (w qemu3dfx 10.0.3):https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Windows_NT_5.x_emulators#:~:text=tutorialI installed all the drivers and did the ddthru process and wine-get for the games, but no matter which game I try, I keep getting an error like the one in the screenshot (0xc000142).
>>544320261The wrapgl test isn't working either
>>544320261>>544321613try thishttps://github.com/kharovtobi/qemu-3dfx-arch
This thing is such a waste of time. Let's wait for something somewhat designed for neurotypicals. You may get it working, but is it worth it? Is it?
>the consensus is shifting from schizo killjew's shareware and using pedobi's insteadlol I somehow felt like this was the better choice
Meanwhile, on 86Box:https://github.com/86Box/86Box/discussions/6410tl;dr it's possible to get a relatively significant performance boost, but you gotta compile it yourself, run a profiling build, then compile it again with aggressive optimizations derived from the profiling. Resulting build is machine-specific, so it can't be packaged for others.
>>544321936thanks!!!
>>544322590Yep, 86box sucks too. We'll never have a decent (keyword decent) one size fits all Wintel box. Part of it is the nature of the beast and the assignment in general is so broad. One's better off trying wrap or patch their way running Windows stuff natively if they can, then fall back to some VM or emulator in a desperate situation. They all fucking suck in some way, be it the speed, compatibility, or usability and some work better on some games than others
>>544315271it isnt on my 4500u
>>544322941Lol that's the one that worked for me too. It has a QuickTime issue on Win hosts but the stupid faggot killjew paywalls the fix so just use Tobi's anyway.
>>544322190>>544321956>>544322590Yo, i think this is hands-down the best way to run D3D8, D3D8.1, and D3D9 games without messing with Wine or WOW64. You get killer performance and zero graphical glitches, unlike type-2 VMs, bukkazoom example;https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Virtual_GPU_Adapter_Compatibility_List#:~:text=BukkazoomPlus, it’s portable, no type-2 VM driver,registry on the host OS nonsense, though you’ll need WHPX/KVM for it to work... :/
>>544323603it is! hence why I donated in the first place
>>544323141The stuff that uses QuickTime is usually early Windows 3.x or 95 shit anyway, and those games will run no problem on a slow Pentium PCem build that's easily within reach for most people. But yeah, if you want one program that does everything, it's a crapshoot, though that has always been the lot of the PC gamer.In any case, I don't think the situation is hopeless. Xemu is based on QEMU, and it's relatively user friendly, so that's proof that it can be made into a sane program. It just needs someone that gives a fuck to make it so.
>>544323704The only thing missing is a solid bin/cue parser (for CD disc images) and a simple frontend (with live eject/mount disc images and shared folder support). If they can pull those off, qemu-3dfx would easily be the best emu/virt software out there, no contest.
>>544324189I still find ftp-ing in + daemon tools the best way to nigger rig this. The command line in-session image mounting has been janky for me. ISOs seem to work, sometimes, bin/cue is a problem.
I'm still doing this in my Arch version of QEMU because I can't be bothered to get that other method linux-anon was talking about running and my ftp server is still up.
>>544324594>ftp-ing in + daemon tools the best way to nigger rig thisYup, that seems the most reasonable way at this point.There is no way to inject qemu using Reshade? I mean, it doesn't use OpenGL, D3D9, or Vulkan, right? For Xemu, it is possible with OpenGL.https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Xbox_emulators#cite_note-12
I think we've nerded out ciggy lately. Where's the Saturn shovelware?
>>544040075>it turns out the dev DOES actually expect you to pay himkek, if only I knew when I posted this
Honestly? My preference would be for 86Box to obtain virtualization and GPU passthrough capabilities. It has a ton of useful features accumulated at this point, and its versatility in hardware is really nice. Combining those with the things QEMU-3dfx can do would be the best of all worlds.
>>544275602>3rd gen i3/5/7Not even that, dolphin is very performant.I played SMS on my shitty 1st gen i3 laptop wayyyyyyyy back in the day. Not circa 2011 mind you, but I was dick around with it in 2017 just to see what it could handle.And that was 7 years ago, imagine how much faster dolphin has gotten now.
Here is an example how to use wined3d in qemu-3dfx without wine-get scripts etc:Jedi Knight 2:https://youtu.be/VzHcL_ul61sGothic 1:https://youtu.be/_cTy6CLkZbEAnd here is the video where he did the same thing with Rage Expendable game by using wine-get script:https://youtu.be/t2AHiBNhEtISo, for DirectX 1-7 (Gothic 1, JK2, Expendable) games you need to copy these files into game directory: ddraw.dll & wined3d.dll + opengl32.dllFor Direct3D8 games (Max Payne): d3d8.dll & wined3d.dll + opengl32.dllFor Direct3D9 games (Far Cry): d3d9.dll & wined3d.dll + opengl32.dllWhat about The Wheel of Time game? You don't need wined3d for that game because you can use it's 3DFX glide renderer. For that you need to copy opengl32.dll and glide2x.dll from OpenGlide or Zeckensack's glide wrapper in the directory of game's exe (executable) file.

WELL I MISS THOSE PRECOMPILED HEADERS, ASSHOLE!
The good ones like Psakhis get flattened during a bike ride by some migrant, probably. Meanwhile this paywalling schizo continues wasting oxygen. I'll just get Tobi's to work in Arch. I'm sure it's possible to get both QT and all the GPU passthru shit working fine that way. I'll not be compiling or using anything directly from killjew again.
What games can literally only be played with Killjew's payware?
>>544345424Only QuickTime shit under Windows hosts.
I don't understand how you have all these people working on something as complicated as a switch emulator yet none of them thought to add a grid view to the UI.
>>544345424KJ Liew's WineD3D libraries are under paywall. WineD3D is required for Direct3D games. You don't need WineD3D for OpenGL and 3dfx games. So, the answer to your question is: some Direct3D games (Warhammer Dark Omen is one of them I think). There is also free and open source WineD3D that works under Qemu-3dfx. KJ Liew's WineD3D is better but you can play many Direct3D games with this free verson of WineD3D. You don't need to pay in order to play games on Qemu-3dfx. The problem is that many people don't know how to use it because it is not easy to use and there are not many tutorials and instructions how to compile and use it.
>>544347532ryujinx has a grid view
