With pre gen 5 consoles(+ n64 and most handhelds) it's easy to just grab literally everything but when it comes to games that start taking up significant storage capacity, how selective are you guys? Do you just download 1 by 1 something you wanna play in the moment? Do you have a best of selection to go through? How do you curate your collection?

Its kind of comforting that videogames went to shit in the ps3/360 era so if emulation never catches up it's not like you're missing much

Save states. Yay or nay?

Yay if you want to cheat. Nay if you want to say you beat the game.

>>552938950
yay for when exiting the game before reaching a save point. equivalent to leaving the console on till you resume

>>552942362
You have to make sure you actually save as well though. I never have because I don't really use save states but I've always heard stories of people losing theirs saves because their save states got corrupted or whatever.
But honestly a lot of emulators have making a savestate when you quit built in as a feature so its not really something you consciously do while playing anyway.

Gentlemen im looking to play Fight Night Round 3 and apparently the game just mutes itself after 30 seconds after opening. im playing it through xenia, so the x360 version. Does anyone know how to fix this or should I attempt playing the ps3 version?

You know the "enable deinterlacing/widescreen patches" options PCSX2 has? Every emulator should have options like that but for bloom (makes the bloom run at internal res and if the patch for that doesn't exist it looks for one that outright disables it)z all this fucking ghosting is disgusting

First new thread of the new year!

Completely justified for games with unskippable cutscenes IMO, especially certain RPGs. I fucking wish I had them when I played Kingdom Hearts on the PS2 back in the day. There's dialogue in that game I'm certain never to forget because I kept dying on certain bosses and had to repeat a minutes-long cutscene every time.

What's the point of bloating the wiki with these useless "enhancement" that no one ever asked for and no serious emulator will ever accept outside of meme forks made by fatbeards.

What's next?
Power outage simulation where the emulator randomly closes without saving your progress, by design?
Counterfeit controller simulation where you need to press a button 3 times for it to register?
Mom simulation where the the emulator ask you pause the game and eat your tendies, then she takes your emulator and hide it in her room?

So how do i add some IPTV or other streaming services to my Emulation Station frontend on RetroPie?

or alternatively, make a frontend that lets you choose between opening emulationstation or opening IPTV and streaming services to watch tv shows, movies, and so on

>>552974338

Yeah, but mid-7th gen (around ’09) was also the first big indie boom. XBLA/PSN/XBLIG gave us stuff like Braid, Limbo, Shadow Complex, Splosion Man etc.

>>552985014
I know it’s a common take, but I think the late 7th gen is where the decline actually started. Early-to-mid 7th gen felt like a peak; after that, things slowly went downhill.

>>552985359
(cont.) at least for 3D AAA games, not indies or 2D/sprite stuff. it’s also around when Flash/Shockwave stuff started dying off.

>>552981101
>Most games were cover shooters or fps.
No. Most games YOU NOTICED were cover shooters or FPS. Just counting my physical PS3 games I have nearly 50 and other than two resident evil games and a front mission game, there aren't almost any shooters.
It's true that the generation started with a heavy focus on sports and shooters in the first six months, but that was followed by nearly a decade of some really peak JPRGs, action games, experimental games, and adventure games. You limited yourself to a single segment of a generation and blame it instead of your own inability to broaden your scope, but that's not on the games, that's on you being a bitch. You literally had 20 fucking years so you no longer get amicability or benefit of a doubt, you're a faggot and a piece of shit now.

He’s partly right, but he’s wrong about the whole 7th-gen timeline. The problem wasn’t early or mid-gen, it was late 7th gen where things actually started getting fucked;

The chart doesn’t really disprove the point though, shooters and action still take up a huge share/disproportionately, and that trend got worse as the 7th generation went on (2012~).

Gen 7 was an absolute disaster. It was the generation that Japan was barely involved with, because the switch from SD to HD nearly destroyed them.

Useful for certain situations like as anon mentioned - unskippable cut scenes. Save stating past that crap is an absolute godsend.

They're also excellent to use instead of password systems.

Trouble is most people abuse them in order to get past sections of games that they don't have the skill to be able to get past. Then they complain and wonder why games were so hard back then.... because they're literally skipping the skill building process which is crucial for the enjoyment of gaming.

>>552946507
I hope someone finally ads an option to dreamcast emulators that enables GD-Rom seek and CPU fan noises.
I want to hear that fan fire up when i turn on the emulator, and i want to hear that disc seek noise every time i'm about to get into a battle in skies of arcadia.

I know this shit is possible because C64/Amiga emulators have disc access noises built in, and they're absolutely kino.

Sorry, I should explain myself. I think those were the best years for gaming because 2D gaming was at its most refined. From Sonic, to SMW, to Rayman. The most effort 2D games get nowadays is in the AA department if you're lucky.

Yeah, like I said in >>552985520, I’m not talking about indies or 2D/sprite games. That’s a different discussion. I’m specifically talking about 3D AAA games (not AA). With a reasonably objective view, most people would agree that roughly 2000–2011 was the golden era for that space. Since then it’s been a slow downhill slide -> >>552986695


1996-2000 was still very strong, but mainly for platformers and pre-rendered/isometric stuff (RTS, RPGs, etc.). 3D was largely experimental at that point: devs were still figuring out camera control, movement, and basic gameplay readability in full 3D, while hardware limitations forced a lot of compromises. You got innovation, but also jank and inconsistency. The real refinement came a bit later once engines, controls, and hardware caught up.

Same shit. They'll both play virtually everything worth playing on that console. Just download both and use the one you think has a better interface. Maybe one will "feel" better for you due to better input or audio latency, so use that one. Ares supports a fuckton more systems ofc, so take that into account as well.

>>553109124
Ares also support the whole of Retroarch's shaders with Librashader, if this is a factor.

Byuu was brilliant, but his autism hampered him in so many ways, most notably in always feeling the need to reinvent the wheel when perfectly serviceable solutions already existed.

>>553169093
Some form of guest advanced or crt royale or sonkun shader. Something with ntsc composite preferably. This is of course assuming you're not using an autistic 240 hz oled in which case use one of those beam shaders. None are perfect though, remember that. Shaders are inherently a compromise.

>>553169486
Fine, I'll rephrase. The most recommended all around CRT filter/shader for SNES emulation via Retroarch on the Nintendo Switch (assuming it still isn't CRT Royale). Docked of course, but the TV is the non-smart kind. 1080p but not an OLED obviously.

Any way to make the gyro pointer NOT disappear constantly in Mario Galaxy on Dolphin?
It usually works fine for a while, but then it fucks off and doesn't come back even when the controller is level. Pressing re-center also does nothing.

Only way I've got it to work is by just unbinding all the accelerometer shit and emulating the motion controls, including the pointer, but the issue with that is I need to go back and change the control scheme each time there's a level that actually uses the motion controls like the ball balancing. Also I can't waggle.

Case in point.
I need to find the pointer to enter the level, but it's fucked off again.
Rolling the controller in every possible direction you occasionally catch a glimpse of it running across the screen, but almost instantly you get the small rumble afterwards indicating galaxy thinks your wiimote is upwards and it disabled the pointer (despite the controller not actually being upwards)

Rolling the controller around long enough I'll probably find the cursor, but this is really becoming a pain in the ass.

>>553188558
ok use the dlss4 one then

>>553188207
>>553189424
Fixed it.
Issue was I had accelerometer influence set to 0%
Dunno why it prevented re-centering working too though.

I'm hoping hunterk's able to port mainline Mesen to libretro. I remember seeing a screenshot a few threads back, and it looks promising.

>>553192345
Or rather just don't use something that only works at 1080p or bigger (well, that's DLSS, FSR1 sucks in every resolution) in a CRT shader?

>>553196786
Why?

>>553188558
If you’re using a CRT shader preset, you want native/internal resolution anyway.
Bilinear, frontend upscaling, or FSR1 is only useful for basic auto-box fullscreen scaling.
There’s no point in running an advanced upscaler before a CRT shader, it just messes with scanlines and masks.

SSF is excellent though and has features mednafen doesn't have like proper transparency support, and de-interlacing.
It also runs on a toaster where mednafens CPU requirements are 10 times higher.
SSF is also more accurate overall.

I still prefer Mednafen coz it has shader support but SSF is and has been excellent since about 2008. You should lurk more coz everyone was raving about mednafen saturn for years.

Not kill emulation, just force people to use his terrible program under the guise of 'avoiding the Nintendo lawyers' (when that program actually makes it easier for Nintendo to sue them).

They're groups who make the most autistically perfect dumps of games possible then provide checksums and shit so you can verify if your dump is perfect
In the case of rom downloading sites like Myrient for example, it means the games you're downloading have the checksums provided by these groups so they're perfect dumps
Different groups specialize in different stuff. For example No-Intro is for cartridge or digital console games / DLC. Redump is for optical media (CD/DVD/Bluray games)

This would only be true if you didn't ask about it.
You literally wouldn't know had you not tried first meaning it's too late to pretend now.

The codes on that site used to be included in Dolphin by default when you used the "Download Gecko Codes" option but most of them were recently removed for some damn reason. I was testing all of them to see how many actually worked (most did) and i asked about these two in particular simply because despite doing the same thing one worked and the other didn't. Are you projecting or something dude

Bump on this question, I am also curious.

Input is likely polled and blocked sometime before/after the frame rendering. So if it takes longer to render, then it will poll your input synchronously to that. It's a programming issue where ideally the input is always being polled at 60hz with your latest input regardless of how fast or slow it takes to render.

>>553475591
Is this really input latency or the system just lag because putting the res too high put some strain on your system?

Rcps3 gets iso support.
Good.
Compiling ppu modules takes double the amount of time of when i tested it in 2022.
How?

>>553476843
Good answer, thank you!
>>553476882
It's 100% Input latency, no stuttering or FPS drops, I tried both wired and wireless and the latency is brutal but mainly on PS2/PSP UNLESS I put the scaling down to the CRT's resolution

The weird thing is, if I render let's say Gamecube at 4k internal resolution, 60 FPS, No stuttering, no input lag, it's fine

But if I render anything PS2/PSP Related at anything other than native, the input lag is really bad, even with latency fixes enabled

I'm so sorry if this is a retarded question, I'm pretty new to emulation but...

My CRT maxes out at 720p, does it even do anything to set the rendering resolution higher than that?

Thanks, sorry again for the stupid questions, still learning, in case you're wondering it's an old gaming PC hooked up to a HD-CRT From 2006.

Just noticed NoIntro doesn't verify checksums for PS4 games. Is there somewhere out there that does?

It's been 12 years now and the remake is dogshit, can someone finally properly translate the PSX version of Front Mission 2?

autistic groups that verify if dumps are good by comparing them, they provide a checksum for each title so you (or the website you are downloading from) can compare your stuff and see if it's indeed good

So I'm trying to install Retro Arch on my Nintendo Switch. From what I've read I don't need a CFW just Atmosphere and RetroArch. The thing is, whenever I try to install Retro Arch onto the Switch it always fails or gets corrupted. I've tried extracting Retro Arch directly onto the SD card. I've tried extracting it first onto my PC and then moving the files to my SD card. I've tried getting rid of the bundled version, and just choosing the cores I want manually instead of all of them. No matter what, the extraction always hangs for like an hour or gets corrupted. I'm downloading from the official RetroArch site and everything, any tips on what I'm doing wrong here?

so, any ryubinx / switch emu progress?

>>553444443
I think the buildbots uses upstream, so probably. iirc, flycast used to be hosted under libretro's GitHub but moved away after they were compromised.

https://github.com/azahar-emu/azahar/pull/1609
What a fucking retard for not knowing changing the hash would break texture packs.

>>553500810
The Ryujinx fork is hosted by a kid that only ever really did minor UI changes and cleanups. It doesn't have any real contributors working on actual emulation and has actually regressed many things compared to Ryujinx from what I remember.

Eden is being developed but it's a constant state of one or two steps forward, one step back.

Can any switch emu run those dragon quest remakes (talking about 1,2 and 3) or its a shitshow with the lastest releases?

It's really unfortunate what the emulation scene has become. Rather than combining their efforts into one project they would rather split off due to their ego.
It's why I stopped following emulation news after PS3. I know it's dead and it's not coming back. I just bought a PS3, 4 and Switch so I can jailbreak it. The homebrew scene isn't that much better either. But at least their all working towards one goal of jailbreaking the console.

so if i want playstation 2 and psp games for example i should get the redump dumps?

>>553513697
Yes, because that's your only option. There's no such thing as a no-into dump of PS2 or PSP games because all those games are physical.
Think of it this way
redump = physical dump
no-intro = digital dump

>>553436642
I thought it would be able to handle 1440p just fine but boy was I wrong.

>>553513483
They're written in different languages and had completely different goals. Yuzu was a cashgrab focused on just getting things to run and be performant even if it costed something. Ryujinx focused on accuracy and correctness, and every change was carefully reviewed by the project lead and at least one other.

PCSX2 can be GPU intense when going higher than 3x resolution, just keep at 3x barely any difference going higher

is there any way to fix fucked up text in FFX on the LRPS2 core when the resolution is increased? present with both dx12 and vulkan regardless of filtering settings

setting it to that parralel or whatever compute renderer fixes it, but that has other graphical glitches, seems to be limited to 2x resolution, and is way slower (also I've had crashing issues with it in a lot of games...)

>>553526372
LRPS2 is a who know old version of Standalone PCSX2 with parrallelGS straped on top of it. So, try standalone PCSX2 and see if you have the same issue.

>>553526372
LRPS2 is behind PCSX2 outside of official parallel-GS support
If you don't want to use parallel-GS it's generally a better idea to emulate with PCSX2 instead

Being able to pause and take screenshots is a very underrated reason to use emulation.

NTA but I get this even with standalone PCSX2. Weirdly it doesn't effect all text, mostly just numbers?

>Grid-like pattern on screen
>Usually this is due to upscaling, which can cause sprites and 2D textures to misalign. Any fixes will be found in the GSdx Advanced Settings and Hacks: Settings > Graphics First try the two Round Sprite modes, Half and Full. Then try Align Sprite or Merge Sprite. Then try the Half Pixel Offset modes. If all else fails, consider using the Texture Offsets.

This should already be automatically applied though. I would backup your saves and reinstall PCSX2. Make sure you're using the latest stable that just came out or the nightly build.

>>553480070
Nightly updates fixed the SSE2 issue, so it shouldn't be a problem. Ymir has a bright future.

man, I thought runahead was just a gimmick but I turned it on for smw and it's fucking night and day
