>>557274970You can always just use bilinear. It doesn't have to blooming of bright colors, but it's not that bad in my opinion.I usually play retro games on an actual CRT, but if I couldn't I would unironically use just bilinear.
>>557275165>yet everyone opted for making the most accurate CRT emulation with all of it's downsides... And its STILL not CRT accurate because no matter how much you try, you can't make a LCD/OLED screen into a CRT.
The fuck happened to all the giant 'all games for x system' downloads? Not worth it to search through archive for a single fuckin sega title one at a time
Welp, guess emulating and preservation are just fucking dead now. And most of these bastards cant even be bothered to re-release or even sell this old shit either.
Yeah the N64 has no games, cope.

>>557283052I know a site that has all retro games I won't say what it is because I don't want to get it shut down
>>557283052https://vimm.net/vault/Xbox360Here
>>557283052You know what's annoying about those? I have one for like Psx or something and like half the dumps don't even work in an emulator because the emulator only uses bin/cue. So the entire fucking library is essentially worthless and I end up going after individual files still lmao.It's great for NES/GB/SNES and shit though.

Running 5th gen and earlier on a LCD screen gives me the ick, why did i even bother spending so long setting up a SoC with emulators? PSX games may look decent if it had enough power to upscale them but it doesntWhats the best SoC for compatibility with composite, component, and VGA out of the box? or with cheap accesories to enable it
>>557293243>Running 5th gen and earlier on a LCD screen gives me the ickahem
>>557293243Just use an old PC with an old GPU and CRTEmudriver. You can also mod a Wii and have composite to component.
just get a cheap adapter and preemptive frames the lag
Can anyone with a PS4 dump the required font directory/files and upload them for the EmuGen wiki?https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadPS4/pull/3772->https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Emulator_files#PlayStation_4
decided to play fatal frame 2 wii remake before the new remake comes out next monthi just remembered how much of an ass it is to set up wii controls on standard controller
>>557296104What is bad is playing these on real hardware.Fuck Nintendo for not shipping the Wii with a Classic controller in the box.
I'm getting fucked by SDL3 initialization in every emu that switched to it.Fixed Vita3K by setting SDL_CAMERA_DRIVER=dummy, but now Now Ryubing nightlies pulled in SDL3 too and boom, crash on startup.Is SDL3 on Windows dependent on some system service, windows feature component (Media Foundation or somethin), or background process that I might have killed/removed/disabled?Anyone else hitting "SDL init failed" or similar crashes/freezes on startup with recent SDL3-based builds?
>>557282095Recently I have noticed this reddit post mentioning new ROM sets with torrents made available at archive.org!https://www.reddit.com/r/Roms/comments/1qlsnke/announcing_fresh1g1r_daily_updated_1g1r/This contains the following- https://github.com/proper1g1r/proper1g1r-collection | Companion repository for [No-Intro] "PropeR" 1g1r Collection (2024))- https://www.reddit.com/r/Roms/comments/1k45s56/heartos_1g1r_nointroredump_collection_ds_ps1/ | "Hearto's" 1G1R No-Intro/Redump Collection (DS, PS1, SEGACD, SATURN, PCENGINECD)It is true that those torrents from the "1G1R" 1337x Torrent user has manuals and other files, but it is good to consider alternatives if the ROMs are updated and only preserves the games rather than other files outside that topic, manuals could be done in a separate torrent to keep it clean.- https://www.reddit.com/user/1G1R/Also, there is a 1G1R Collection of games from the RetroTorrents group, I have asked them to update them with a new version if the ROMs are viable for distribution.https://rentry.co/1G1R
>>557298812Also have "mfplat.dll" problem with standalone PPSSPP. I guess its rrelated to media foundation thing.
Eden just got DMCA'd. It's fucking over again.
just host on some russian git bro
>>557306017Their devs are gonna get ninja'd in the end for continuing to develop the emu.
3ds next for dmca? (again)isn't azahar a big risk already?
>>557306208Just wait until they decide to release 3DS stuff on NSO
switch emulation is like 99% done at this point, most of things already run, yeah performance is not going to get upgraded but emu devs are terrible at improving performance anyway
Thingy
>>557305809Only the meager presence they still had on github to post their release here. The source code is stored on a git-like site and the release are already here.
>>557309808I mean yeah they can obviously mirror the code itself but we all know how vicious the Nintendo lawyers are, they'll go beyond a DMCA if they continue releasing like it's nothing, their devs need to opsec asap.

>>557319989What's even funnier is that the Saturn version of Rayman is missing, when that could've easily been added. (I'm also not sure what the hell they did to the music.)
>>557320153they might be using a mit core and frontend or even rolling their own frontend
>>557319989kekI wonder if MGS4 is rpcs3 also, the cpu requirements seems a bit high.
>>557310491They can take it up with Brewster Kale now.

>>557293598Wii isn't powerful enough to do 5th gen.
>>557326519Yeah but it's really good for everything up to it and cheap, that's why I included it.
>>557326519it can run ps1
has anyone played totk with the latest updates on any emulator? does it work fine? I'm hoarding old updates I just wanna throw them away and keep the latest if it works
im having trouble with eden picking up my saveslaunching eden directly -> open game ->saves detectedopen emustation on steam->select switch->pick game->game launches without detecting the save and has me sit through cutscenes
>>557319989Digital Eclipse, you've done it again!
>>557329395it also doesnt pick up my controller either when i launch a switch game through emulation that then launches eden
where do u guys get updated switch keys? can't find them anywhere, I know where to get the firmware
>>557327492If you turn off dithering then kind of. It's still susceptible to the usual hard to emulate games.
>>557311559What is this?Is this some kind of OOT ps1 port?
DOSBOX question:How do you deal with folders cutting off without showing the full contents when you type "diR"? is there a way to scroll up in a fullscreen DOS console?
>>557333883yes
>>557312002doesn't that count as conspiracy and stalking?
so azahar is finally getting a decent update with shader caching, honestly shader caching needs to be in every emulator from ps2 and upwards and it needs to cache as much shit as possible, even if takes 5 minutes to start the game
it's 2026 every emulator needs to have:resolution scalingbuilt in cheats list for widescreen and 60 fps modsaggressive preloading shader cachinglan multiplayeronline multiplayer if the game has it (it'll require external servers)
best emulated games for online>Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike (Fightcade)>Mario Kart Wii (Dolphin online with frens)thanks for reading
>>557339275>>557339298wrong
>>557339275>online multiplayer if the game has it (it'll require external servers)no it doesnt, you can just P2Pyou could have a "lobby" system where players encounter each other and chat, but that requires very little server infrastructure
>>557339275one more, easy built in CRT shaders filter that allows for custom shaders to be applied
>>557339571well, lots of old games online connection was login into a lobby and joining a match, that's not p2p
>>557339757oh okaybut why do you say this requires external servers? cant the players be the host too? i was hosting last time i played mario kart wii online, and every time i went to LAN parties we would simply have a player host a game from the game itself, no need for dedicated server software or a dedicated server
>>557340242when one player hosts the game he is being a server
>>557340351oh ok why did you say external servers external sounds like somebody has to pay for permanent servers or something
>>557340848if an old game is popular people form discord groups and pay for servers, it's not expensive when everyone chips inI wrote that to clarity the games need servers, and it's not the emulator dev that has to do anything about it
>>557339275realtime ai translationsrealtime ai frame generationrealtime ai content modification and creation
>>557341545nobut we can have ray tracing modding implementation start 2030 and forwards, everyone will have RT capable cards by then
Emulators should collect and sell telemetry data. If the games industry saw that 40 million people emulated Earthbound every day then maybe they'll make Earthbound 2.
>>557342136Yuzu and Ryujinx had telemetry. (The former especially.)
>>557342136it's called mother 3
is it just switch emulators or are wii, wii u, n64 etc being taken down too?
>>557339275>gay>gay>whatever>sure>sure
>>557348706Switch because it's the only one that scares them, since they have the potential to be turned into Switch 2 emulators
>>557342136Not after they'd see that people emulator it for a whole 5 minutes before jumping to another game for another 5 minutes.
So... What now?
>>557349832now we wait
>>557349832https://youtu.be/CiT3kH3-ZPk&t=1313

Chewy shot first. BTW, this game chugs like a motherfucker.
for the ace attorney gamesis it better to play the remasters that are on pcor emulate the originals?

>>557337468who's going to bring them to court over that?
>>557283923>emulating and preservation are just fucking dead nowEmulation is perfectly fine up to 5th gen, even 6th gen now, incredibly healthy and complete. Now, what "preservation" there is for consoles that are still well active on the market? Just quit the bullshit.This is literally all on the yuzu/tropical punch idiots, PLENTY of people warned this could happen if the emulation community kept prodding companies like Nintendo and becoming effecting competitors asking for patreon money, money tiers for 0day support plus online gaming. What were you fags serious expecting would happen?Happily reap what you sowed and pray more companies don't follow suit.
>>557320153first ask the RA crew if it was licensed.
>>557323768anon you seriously believe the wayback machine/internet archive is a reliable repository?
>>557285154Are Goodtools still getting updated? I always hated Nointro because ROM hacks are the main reason to get ROM sets.
>>557282095How do I play call of duty 3 and forza horizon 1 on pc?I tried emulating them on xenya but cod3 has a shitty visual glitch right at the start, it seems because of glitchy grass and it can't be done anything about it. I guess I should use a ps3 emulator, which hopefully can be played with mouse and keyboard.Fh1 looks like shit on xenya because it's too low rez and stutters too much. I don't know how to fix this.I also hope my hardware is good enough. I have an i7 4790k and an rx570.
>>557377021>glitchy grass and vegetationXbox 360 version has the best vegetation graphics.https://youtu.be/5ebZs-TPKIE?t=460 [Embed]Grab the patch (disables grass though):https://github.com/xenia-canary/game-patches/blob/main/patches/415607E1%20-%20Call%20Of%20Duty%203.patch.tomlAlternatives: PCSX2, Xemu, Dolphin, RPCS3, all playable.

>>557379709Stop replying to normies and goys dude.
>raytracingwhoa, now my crt shader can have photorealistic reflections of a balding, overweight 45 year old man to really give that sense of authenticity
I was in Vegas and one of the slot machines had this cool 2 layered LCD screen effect where the screens were offset a little to give kind of a 3D effect and I just thought you could make some really cool shaders with tech like that but we never get cool stuff in consumer equipment so it won't happen...
>>557382571I've always thought the same thing: slap something like that on consumer OLEDs (even a cheap parallax barrier layer) and you could do insane shader tricks, CRT phosphor glow with actual depth etc.But yeah, the industry won't bother for normie gear. Casinos drop serious cash on eye-catching gimmicks because the whole point is sensory overload to keep you playing longer, profit justifies the R&D and per-unit cost. Consumer electronics? Margins are razor-thin, everyone chases the same 4K/8K/OLED brightness race, and anything "enthusiastic/obsessive/autistic" gets dismissed as "too niche for mass market" or "not everyone wants retro feeling anyway."Shame, because the tech exists and could be cool as hell if someone with deep pockets actually pushed it.
>>557382571>>557383637Forget video games, that sounds like it'd be awesome just for normal desktop stuff. But yeah, would more than double the cost of the monitor and so few people would buy one that nobody would write software to support it.
https://youtu.be/7rK0zMbhVosthis shit still needs vulkan SDK?
>>557387720okay but can it emulate games that anybody would actually want to play?
Something must have happened to our boy Danny in the beginning of 2025. He took recluse from everything related to Retroarch and now it's slowly dyingeither the sheer hatred of tranny emu devs got to him or the sheer retardation of normies who couldn't navigate its UI

There are so many forks man what do I get for switch. Citron or Ryubing?
I clipped through the wall of the Castlevania Resurrection E3 demo for the DreamcastEven though this was a prototype demo this game seems really bad I can see why they cancelled it
>>557396016I don't even know, they say Citron (yuzu based) went full schizo but it still exist and still vastly outperform every other forks for me. Ryubing is just Ryujinx with a tranny skin for what I understand, and Ryujinx honestly was never good for me on my high end system, it always stuttered the most and has more input lag. The original Citron dev has the "Eden" fork, which from my very quick test is still worse than Citron.
>>557396016Ryujinx:Ryubing is active and has fixed a lot of shit.Yuzu: Toss up between citron and eden. Use whatever gets you the best performance for your game.
>>557378632>Grab the patch (disables grass though):It may be better to emulate the ps3 version with grass though
>BROOOO JUST TURN OFF GRASS10 years of development for this shit and it still barely works
>>557399856Xenia is hopeless. The only emulator without anything positive.
So since Emulation is dead. What now ? Whats the purpose of this general ?
>>557378632>>557377021I think the only mouse aim patch for CoD3 is for PCSX2
>>557402146Try xenia-canary-netplay-mousehook and RPCS3+KAMI or MouseInjectorDolphin for PCSX2 or Dolphin.
>>557402146https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Controllers#Mouse_Injectors_for_Emulators
>>557400737Emulation is pretty solid up through fifth-gen consoles, with the notable exception of CD-i (DVC), Saturn and N64, though Ares and Ymir looks genuinely promising and could finally change that.Sixth-gen emulation is "good enough" with hacks and workarounds, except for the original Xbox, though Xemu has come a very long way in recent years.Seventh gen is where shit gets messy and hardware-heavy. RPCS3 still demands a beefy modern CPU (AVX-512 helps a lot) and per-game tweaks for the really stubborn titles.Xenia Edge is in roughly the same boat, slightly worse compatibility overall, but it doesn't need a god-tier CPU. Wii emulation via Dolphin is good, but that's more late sixth/early seventh overlap anyway.Eighth-gen and beyond? Almost nobody seriously cares except for Wii U and Switch. PS4 emulation is still early and not practical for most people. Oh, and: fuck Xbone and microslop.
>>557403715>RPCS3 still demands a beefy modern CPU (AVX-512 helps a lot) and per-game tweaks for the really stubborn titles.Rpcs3 biggest problem are regressions and games not working after years( star ocean,resonance of fate,etc). Hardware requirements are a nothingburger.>Xenia EdgeMeme, it is actually worse than canary. And it is not slightly less comp, practically nothing works as intended.>Almost nobody seriously cares about 8th genironically the emulators are better than 7th gen,significantly.3ds is a beast library wise and most games will work on both azahar and citra, minus the slight graphical glitches.Switch emu works pretty good even for new stuff. Playing dq7 remake and thing just work on ryubing.7th gen consoles(minus wii) are the outliers.
Any linux users around? Trying to get Eden set up but the menu bar isn't showing on my window, and the user guide gives a bunch of command line arguments that just open the program
>>557414446
>>557399856How bad is it without grass? Is cod3 better on xenia without grass or ps3 emulator with grass?
>>557414446Almost sure it may be some Desktop Environnement/wayland bug.
>>557419369Certainly something goofy like that, Eden's pretty adamant on using X so shouldn't Wayland fuckery

It really all boils down to the industry's 20-year obsession with "muh razor-thin", lower power draw, and portability, right? That shit straight-up murdered good display tech.
>>557424621No.CRT reached far beyond diminishing production returns before the era was over. And Industry went for rather decent IPS panels before the transition started. The problem is that you have too many chefs, then they are going to lose sight of the process. At this point we are slowly transitioning out of 1000:1 IPS land, into whatever the future is.
>>557424621if by ""muh razor-thin", lower power draw, and portability" you mean cheaper to manufacture, yes
>>557426126>CRT reached far beyond diminishing production returns before the era was overPartially correct: aperture grille refinements, flatter screens, higher dot pitch continued into the late era, but the market abandoned them not because the tech was fully exhausted, but because size, weight, power draw, and desk footprint became unacceptable trade-offs compared to tft lcds.>Industry went for rather decent IPS panels before the transition started.No. The early LCD transition (2003-2008 era) was overwhelmingly TN panels with abysmal 300–600:1 contrast, 16–30 ms GtG response times, severe gamma shift, and viewing angles that collapsed into washed-out garbage past 30°. Consumer-grade IPS panels only became remotely "decent" around 2010ish (e.g. early S-IPS / H-IPS on premium models), and even then they were luxury-tier priced.>you have too many chefs, then they are going to lose sight of the process.??? Are you referring to fragmented panel manufacturers (LG Display, AU Optronics, Samsung, BOE, Innolux, etc.) diluting standards and QC? Or marketing departments (gaming shiiieeet)?>At this point we are slowly transitioning out of 1000:1 IPS land, into whatever the future is.True, but “slowly” is an understatement. Native contrast on standard IPS has hovered around 1000:1 since the mid-2010s. IPS Black variants remain niche and expensive. The mainstream is still stuck because 1000:1 IPS remains "cheaper" for productivity, web browsing, and light gaming.>>557427974>>557429297>Every problem can be solved fairly easilyyup.. money bro...
>>557429372>Consumer-grade IPS panels only became remotely "decent" around 2010ishAnd when do you think the transition happened anon? Its almost like it was that late.
nowadays we're getting rapid IPS and rapid VA that has like half the GTG latency it used to have, LCD is going nowhere, OLED still has burn in issues, it's only meant for TVsI'm thinking microRGB IPS miniled will be the best for pc screens from now on

don't the new switch emulators all have auto updating? they can just keep updating it
>>557441704telepathically pushing a new update to the underground emulation network right now, I hope nintendo's psionic legal team doesn't intercept me again
>it's illegal to run software that you own any machine that you ownThe absolute state of property rights in current year.
>Chalice Tier 4 Loran Blood Starved BeastJesus wept . Something about the broken tracking, camera partially spazzing out, and then increasing the model size meaning all strong attack punishes stop working completely. Or not giving him a large hurtbox when doing the roomwide swipe attack that wastes your time, so it can at the least be consistently parried. Or some of his phase 3 attacks having phantom hitboxes that isn't present in the main game version. Or putting him in a room where he is going to swipe attack on the stairs, and glitch out.Or just the instantkill grab, which you avoid by... baiting him into the range of the sweep attack :)
>>557443169>software that you owntechnically you have a licensing agreementthe real legal issue is that they allow companies to sell "licensing agreements" instead of software in the first place, especially with the level of consumer deception involved in the tactic
>>557381909Jokes on you. I'm not bald.
in 2 or 3 years, after the AI boom dies or bursts, all emulation will be done in phones, tablets and chinkheldsarm socs are now hitting 5.0ghz, phones have more than enough ram, their igpus keep getting better at the same rate, they all use vulkan, emulators are being developedthey have reached the technological requirements to run all emulated systems except ps4 already, price is the only problem for widespread adoption but that will be fixed by 2028mobile gaming is popular, the switch is the best selling console for a reason, you can lay down and play in bed, you can play on company timeit's inevitable

>>557465247feds dont do dmcas
>>557465589Anon, it's a federal law. Of course it's enforced by the feds. Just because violations are used as the basis for lawsuits doesn't mean that it isn't also a law that violators can be referred to the feds for criminal investigation over.

Why not just develop emulation tools in a country where the loser in a lawsuit has to pay for both sides (IE: They pay for the opposing side's lawyer)?
>>557486030Because people living in South Sudan don't have the knowledge or desire to write emulators.

>>557576947Perhaps it's the difference between Eastern vs. Western devs, where the latter slapped digitized assets wherever regardless of whether or not they looked good.
>>557577673never thought of it that waybut i do think its way easier to make convincing 3D renders and models of machines like cars or spaceships than actual humans or even monkey mascots, less polygons required to be convincing and such

>>557578071Agreed, the opening animation that plays every time you enter a stage in Earthion is phenomenal!
So how many old console games have been recompiled into PC games so far? How does the performance compare to the same games being emulated?Is there a full list or database of the console games that have been recompiled into x86 PC games?
>>557581104https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Game_engine_recreations_and_source_ports>How does the performance compare to the same games being emulated?A lot better, they're essentially native PC games.
>>557582071Native pc games don't interpolate their framerates.
>>557582434No, most modern games interpolate animations/physics in the same way these do.
>>557582608Modern games don't have their logic and animations run at 20 fps.
>>557582664Yeah, they usually do 60fps and interpolate from there. They're still using interpolation though.And a lot of hand done animations nowadays are just a few keyframes that are interpolated between.
>>557581104>performanceit's not like you can just recompile a game for windows and it magically works, you have to build an entire framework that implements the functionality they expected to exist on the console they originally targetted, so performance is going to be heavily effected by the quality of that framework written by literally whos
>>557583278>Yeah, they usually do 60fpsYeah so for 90 percent of people there's no interpolation and thus nothing like this shitty fake fps increase you get out of these lame ass recomps. If they actually wanted to do something worth people time they should recode the game to actually handle real framerate increases.

>>557624204port, whatever
>>557621634Get as large as you can afford. Sure, 1TB should be enough but that will be useful for some other stuff too.Thing with emulation is that you don't want to delete the ROMs or emulators because it is always such a pain to set them up again from scratch so in this sense getting more than enough of space is crucial.
dude I read an interview on my laptop from the dev that ports the trails games and I could swear there was part where he says he allows for users to allocate some amount of ram to cache precompiled assets in it and reduce loading times and stutter but now I'm reading it here and I can't find that part of the interview, maybe I am finally going insane, I think they removed that questionanyway that should 100% be the future in all emulators from the n64 era and forwards, the CPU being the most demanded component in emulating, precompiling and storing it in ram would significantly improve the experience specially on older or weaker computersanyway here's the interview and the steam blog post here he list all performance features his team buildshttps://www.rpgsite.net/interview/19632-ys-x-proud-nordics-durante-interview-ph3-switch-2-dlss-ps5-pro-switch-1-trails-beyond-the-horizon-port-challenges-tea-2026-exclusivehttps://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3316940/view/492713648032056900?l=english
for a long time the philosophy on emulation was throwing everything on the cpu, the cpu needs to do more more more more because our cpus are far faster than the machines we are emulating, but that ends up creating stupid requirements to emulate such weaker machinesthe philosophy now needs to evolve to using the rest of the computer to help the cpu focus on the translation, it's main job, we have far more storage, more ram, faster storage, faster ram, better gpus, how can we offset the cpu job to those other components and unlock a lot of optimized performance from it and improve the experienceprecompiling everything to improve loading - disk and ram tasksresolution scaling, native frame generation, applying crt cosmetic shaders - gpu tasksthese are the future
>>557628408>>557634523Don't be stupid. Emulators now only rely on the cpu for everything if you're running a game in software mode which most people don't.
>>557635567the other components are still underutilized in comparison to the cpu, which is the biggest bottleneck in emulation
Can anyone help me emulate the switch version of unicorn overlord? I can't get it to work.
>>557635865Yeah because the cpu is the only thing that can't be emulated at a high level. You can bullshit your way through graphics and sound but you can't do that with code.
>>557635865Precompilling will not help shit like you think off. As for using more the GPU go check Parallel-GS/RDP, that what they do.
>>557634523Emulation isn't about performance and gimmicks and shaders, it's about accuracy which is very processor intensive. Whenever a ps2 recomp finally comes out I'm sure they'll hack their way around the floating point calculations while simultaneously claiming that they are way more accurate than emulation which does the same thing.
>>557531896I did this but it still feels off somehow. Either way there are a few graphic glitches like square-y shadows (which can be solved only by disabling shadows) and 2d cards showing cars and such before starting a race.
done with fatal frame 2 wii remakeready for the remake remake next month
>>557636264I tried emulating 3DS in my terrible chinkheld that uses an awful chinese soc, and the avg framerate are actually fine, totally playable 40~50 fps, but the stutter every time you attack someone on fire emblem because it compiles the animations was so terrible I stopped playing, the lesson is, for weak and old hardware those precompilation steps are a tremendous improvementand frame generation, we're still far from having it, but it gets a bad name because nvidia and what not but you can use it to lock stuff at 60 and if you're drawing 50 fps, the latency penalty is quite small, I think it's going to be a great tool in a few years as well
>>557638160There is no way to precompile shaders if you're emulating.

so like how do you actually get triforce games to load in the newest dolphin version? I downloaded an iso from archive but it's seems to expect something called segaboot.gcm and in the game it's expecting a cleaning card
>>557658569Mainline Dolphin doesn't support Triforce anymore, you'll need a forked build for that.https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Nintendo_GameCube_emulators#Hardware_variants

>>557660850You gotta be shitting me...
What actually is the difference in the end result from FPGA vs Software emulation?Is there an actual different on the end result?
Can someone provide a genuine qrd on what happened to Citron? From what I've seen, there was some petty tranny drama involved where they put their egos over the project, is that correct? Why can't someone involved just continue the project keeping the same name instead of making yet another fork among the endless forks?
>>557487905Because no one will fucking host any of their shit if they can be associated with a retarded that tries to start a project using slurs, retarded ass clown
>>557661527>Is there an actual different on the end result?Generally, no. The biggest difference is you can usually get 1 frame of input lag less on emulators with runahead. But accuracy wise the systems FPGAs support are all pretty much effectively perfectly emulated when it comes to commercial games, so they're pretty much the same.
>>557662432Eden won but we didn't.
>>557662906>FPGAs support are all pretty much effectively perfectly emulatedWith n64 and saturn this is not the case. Probably with others as well.
>>557661527Software emulation is more accurate and mature>>557662906You can runahead whatever extra frames the game buffers its inputs not just one.
>>557662906>FPGAs support are all pretty much effectively perfectly emulatedlolfpgas all require hacky shit to fit onto consumer fpgas, just because you don't notice the differences doesn't mean they're accurate by emulation definitions
>>557661527One you have to pay for, the other you don't. FPGAs are just emulators written on a HDL language, most of the time just porting stuff from software emulators or using their documentation.
>>557665542>the systems FPGAs supportIs talking about videogame systems that have FPGA cores (5th gen and below consoles).>are all pretty much effectively perfectly emulatedIs talking about how those systems (5th gen and below consoles) work on emulators, not on FPGAs.I know English can be a tricky, but with a bit more care while reading and some practice, I'm sure you'll get it.
byuu was right on fpgas
>>557667801What did he say?
>>557668769https://archive.is/ypRuv
>>557669760actually read the originalhttps://archive.is/4Umsk
>>557660850very cool
you need to understand, when they implement a console on FPGA they literally decap the processors on the console and 3d scan them, they then recreate them exactly in FPGA formyou're not emulating, you're physically recreating the hardware exactly as it was
>>557671364I think you mean delid, and no. Essentially they're just source code ripped from existing open source emulators and translated into VHDL. It's hardware accelerated emulation.
>>557671364uh huh, that's why FPGA cores are rife with bugs that are being patched up on github
>>557671364Most cores don't go as far, and decaps benefits emulation all the same.
>>557671364That's usually only for components that aren't documented already. MAME does that shit all the time, for example.
idk I think it'd be pretty cool if they made like $5 dollar fpgas you could put a nintendo on and then plug into your crt television
>>557671364That's for documentation. Most cores don't even try to reproduce the chips at transistor level, much less gate level. They try to replicate the logic, which is essentially what software emulators do.But there's a few cores doing it the way you'd expect, like some stuff from Furrtek for example, but that still doesn't mean they are 100% accurate either because replicating the chips is just one part of the problem, you still have to deal with timings and general hardware quirks.
Replicating the processor in its entirety is wasteful and massively increases the resource requirements. If you can achieve 100% identical results with 1% of the complexity and you're not doing it, you're an idiot.
>>557671364This is mister propaganda. They don't do any of that shit and don't think just decapping a processor would instantly tell you everything you need to know about a console to make an actual 100 percent accurate reproduction.
>>557669956>It isn't done only because the demand isn't there to produce a robust real-time kernel environment that gives software emulators direct ownership access to all hardware resourcesShould emulators be written for TempleOS?
>>557678435good luck doing anything meaningful without graphics drivers and your literally who os won't have those
"bare metal" emulators exist for the rpithere's no noticeable difference between them and normal linux emulators aside from being worse
>>557679380DOS emulators also exist and DOS doesn't have any real overhead aside from the memory it occupies.
>>557677737What I really wish these guys could do was port some of these cores as software emus, preferably the 3DO and CD-i cores.
>>557672094The term is decapsulation, or decap for short.
>>557678435https://github.com/Zeal-Operating-System/cherub
The problem with bare metal or homebrew operating systems is that you can't even use half your hardware because the drivers are closed source. Graphics devices are especially bad, even the RPi's graphics chip was a black box in what was supposed to be an open system.
>>557685713then explain why my bios has fancy graphics
>>557686908Graphics cards implement a standard UEFI mode that allows basic video passthrough from a software framebuffer. UEFI mode uses no acceleration or any of the cards abilities beyond its ability to turn a framebuffer image into a video signal. You don't need drivers for that because they all follow the agreed upon convention, just like in the VGA days.>I'll just use that to make an OS-less emulator!Sure, but it's software rendering so good luck with 3d consoles. You won't have any fancy shaders either. And god knows how modern audio chips work. Controllers will also have to be supported individually.
>>557679209Who need then when you can write a software renderer

do you think shitman was racist? he looks like a racist
Wasn't Squarepusher, madman of RetroArch, singing doom and Gloom for Switch emulators for years and years now?
I can't run Medal of Honor rising sun in either PCSX2 or Dolphin without massive slowdown.
>>557700067nintendo's been suing people over switch drm circumvention for years and years and it's obvious they would go after piracy of switch games, you'd have to be retarded to think it'd be overlooked once games were in a playable state
The N in NTSC stands for Nintendo.
Hooray! MGS4 on PC. Suprised there's only 4 mnetions of it here. I swear I was just about to buy MGS4 and a PS3 and then pulled back. I think the seller knew too, he was trying to get me to buy real quick

What's the drama over RA? RA is great
>>557715112it's got a bad reputation among radical leftists, I don't know why exactlymaybe because they don't color their logo to rainbow during pride monthsmaybe because they had a feud with byuu who's a tranny, I don't remember over what in particularanyway they're on a crusade to cancel CHUD retroarch
>>557714884just let some other nerd maintain the libretro port of your emulator? why would the dev of the main emu personally deal with it?
>>557715580he isn't being asked to deal with anything, it's a PR for libretro integration that would produce .dll cores among other artifacts, he just doesn't want that functionality out of principle
>>557715650you would usually do that as an entirely different branch, the main branch would have nothing RA related in it
>>557715752why do you assume that the main branch having nothing RA related to it is how would you "usually" do it?
>>557715851because most libretro cores aren't maintained by the devs of the main emu, that's literally what branches are for, are you new to this?
>>557716041a PR with libretro integration doesn't imply the necessity to maintain it for the main dev dumdumit would save everyone the headache to fork it and keep it up to date, but the dev decided that emulation is political
>>557707225I didn't talk about it but yeah I'm glad to finally get a port. I really wonder how they did it, after what happened with kojimbo you'd think they would have trashed the source code for his past games too.
>>557718060>>557707225It's a game not worth playing through once let alone replaying it.
>>557718060I think the chances of it having no compromises is practically 0. There's gonna be missing graphical effects, possibly other issues. Also I tried to pirate Vol.1. That shit was like 50GB or something. And that was for PS1 and PS2 games. Vol.2 is gonna be 100GB in size So it's good and I will play it, but I will delete it immediately after beating it>>557718140I always heard it has 2 hours of gameplay
>>557718986MGS's two fortes have always been the story and graphics (for the time)MGS4 jump the shark on the story department and despite looking pretty nice for the time of its release, it also run pretty poorly (30 fps w/ dips compared to locked 60 fps for MGS2 on PS2)it's just an ambitious flop all around
>>557714884Guess this is what happened.
>>557721627>a racist, a homophobe, a con artist, an elder abuserBased Danny boyI'm not only using the best emulation software but the basest as well

>havent updated or changed my Wii homebrew channel in 10 yearsIs there any advancement I should be aware off? I remember back then they said only 4GB SD cards worked for homebrew on Wii so I only have a bunch of retro games and I used to use an external hard drive to load Wii or GC gamesAlso I tried using wiiMC to load DVDs but the bottom of the screen gets cropped out and unused while using wiiMC, while its fine normally

>>557725264>>557656656>Citron has been discontinued after the recent drama involving eden. To keep a long story short, theres a new .tar file floating around called the citron files. Inside of these are zephyrons full name, location and camilles side of events mirroring the fall of citron post from last year. To add fuel to the fire, scubasteve a verified admin of citron may have been the one adding fuel to this. The files basically summarize every event leading up to camille getting a cease and desist from zephyron due to accepting donations claiming to be the lead developer. Everything died down for a year and now its back again. So i guess eden wins. Camille wins and is to blame for this. No more stolen commit posts. No more reverse engineering to improve switch emulation for everyone. Now all eyes are on you to step up since LotP is the only one with the knowledge. Reminder that totk and botw wouldnt work on 20.0 without their knowledge. So we bid you all goodbye and await the next project or maintainer to step up. The drama is now...finally...over and we are free.Oh.It's the Part 3 of the Eden vs Citron Saga, lol.

>>557282095using retroarch on my phone is a pain in the ass for emulation, what serious alternatives exist?
People call dolphin hack central.They are the only emu devs recently doing anything minus applying hacks. Triforce support is seet.
>>557571567I think it sold so well just because the promise of PS2 games portably, and even though it delivered pretty well on that promise, it's not really relevant today.Also the homebrew scene for it happened pretty early on. A lot of people probably bought one for emulation and piracy and never bought any games for it. I knew a couple of guys in high school that would bring their PSPs to school and play a homebrew DDR game together.I bet monhun alone sold 20 million units.

You are either running linux or some weird hardware combo.>RPCS3 solved shader compilationGenuinely retarded. Rpcs3 is literally constant stutter because of shader compilation unless you are running a i9-ryzen 9. Try playing god of war/killzone/infamous and tell em three is no stutter on mid range hardware?Even stuff like folklore has micro stutters everywhere.
Nintendo dmca seems pointless. I can finish games from this year easily one eden/ryubin.Are There any games that actually have problems, like the new pokemon?
>>557734351I've heard it stutters a lot on Vulkan with Nvidia gpus or something like that. Try directx.
>>557715112after that whole shit show with clover and how one of the top admins doxxed someone for speaking out, It's fair to say it left a pretty bad taste in peoples mouths just because the team behind it is awful

Hey guys, some time ago I downloaded an N64 pack for the Switch called "Nintendo Switch Offline", it had the official releases plus a bunch of extras, I can't for the life of me remember where I got it. Anyone has any idea where I can find it, or somehow extract it from an old SD I have it installed on?
>>557734351>dolphin is is STUTTER centralOnly on the Rogue Squadron games from my understanding. Those actually take advantage of the GCN. (Although, some people from Factor 5 went on to work for Avalanche [who are anti-emu], so make of that what you will.)
>>557742912it's just the worst offender, it happens in every game if they actually had async shader compilation it wouldn't be an issue
>>557743251>it happens in every game>cause you play shitty lightweight gamesAlready contradicting yourself?

I've spent hours trying to get ToTK setup and I'm clearly not able to find the right keys and firmware and game files; everything I download is corrupt or not for the same version. The firmware and keys on nswgame give me an error for "invalid keys file" on ryubing and ryujinx. Am I missing something or am I just not able to find the right files?

>>557763270(cont.) I'll also bundle the "Variable CRT Noise" tool in the pack in the future, it's for simulating that authentic CRT high-pitched whine/hum (the one that changes with the picture *with borderless fullscreen).The original links are dead now, but I still have a working copy. If the dev (ryzenvideous?) is cool with it and gives the okay, I can share it here too. Pairs great with CRT shaders for full old-school immersion.Let me know if anyone's interested in testing that part as well.

Emulation as a Service
>>557777721Tell me about it.
how can i play bravely default on my pc t_t im horrible at emulators

>>557777993>how can i play bravely default on my pc t_t im horrible at emulatorsjust use retroarch, it has 3ds support i thought.
>>557780038retroarch is chud coded
how do you make emulation feel real? whenever I try to emulate a game it just feels cheap and fake
>>557782318Emulate on premium cycle accurate emulators.
>>557782318Runahead, for starters. It makes playing games feel as responsive as real HW.
>>557782535Much more responsive if the og hardware was laggy
>>557782318Sounds like you have a brain problem where you idolize real hardware.
Real hardware is shackles, a jail for ideal form that is video gamesEmulation is the jailbreakA lot of games run like shit on original hardware. Do you truly believe this is what developers *intended*? No, they had to do with what shit they had
>>557782318sounds like you need a good crt shader
>>557782615Responsiveness also seems to vary game-by-game, even on the same hardware. Here are a list of SNES games and their frames needed to register input.>Spawn (1 frame)>Super Star Wars (3 frames)A more extreme example would be The Morning Adventure for the GBA, which requires a whopping 6 frames before an input is registered! (I'd only recommend playing it for its Plok-like soundtrack, since it's a short promotional game.)
>>557782219wtf? I can't believe this!? I like retroarch now?!?
>>557783591thx chatgpt
>>557783591The snappiest game I have on retroarch is the first arcade TMNT, 0 frames of lag (next frame output)Some of the laggiest are early Psykyo shmups and the very first Metal Slug (4 frames)
I really doubt games are just caching input and holding onto them for 4 frames before processing them.
emulate the castlevania games or play the pc ports? are the pc ports any good?
>>557784096more like the game is internally running at 15fps so if you enter an input right at the beginning of a frame it takes 4 refresh cycles of a 60hz display before the next frame containing your input is shown
>>557784096they're processing the input immediately but the image is buffered for several frames because of shitty hardware or incompetent programmers for example Saturn is notoriously laggy because of its dual CPU setupfew games add 2 frames, but most add 3 or 4, while almost all PS1 games are 2 frames
>>557784321has nothing to do with "buffering" on most of these systemsconsoles like the nes and snes have no concept of buffering
>>557784407I'm not referring to the swapchain, calm down autismo The Saturn in particular is constructing a finished frame off of different layers that are rendered on different cpus and it takes time
>>557784613>I'm not referring to the swapchain> the image is buffered for several frames???
>>557784254no reason not to emulate when you can apply all manner of shaders, which you can't with a PC port
>>557785354sometimes the ports are good and add stuff, sometimes they are just roms
>>557785460Maybe the DS stuff is better, since it might not have the stylus stuff anymore
>>557661527It's pretty low-latency on a CRT. Sometimes it's just better when it comes to ciggy-core timing issues. This manifests in slightly more accuracy in 5th gen cores, at least as of 2026. However, it's just sort of hardware kneecapped at 5th gen at the current state of the art, and unless the above is shit you care about it, it's a toy at best. A thingy, if you will.
Retroarch is like an OS inside your OS tailored specifically to run emulators. Developers should abandon their janky standalone frontends and port everything to libretro, there I said it
>>557784096Here, a 9000 hour in mspaint diagram of a 2 frame runahead in a 15fps game. It turns a 3-6 frame input delay into a 1-4 frame input delay.
>>557788129Also I can't find shit about how preemptive frames work aside from this in the old RA patch notes. Sounds basically like the same idea as runahead but more optimized?
Why didn't anyone ever tell me you can just use a PS2 to USB adapter and use your PS2 controllers on PC?Even rumble works
>>557790272you didn't ask
Honestly? I'm glad Citron died. I tried to bear with those faggots for a while, reporting bugs and whatnot, but they were absolutely unbearable, and their anti-piracy stance was absolutely retarded, not even a way to defend themselves from Nintendo but simply some a way to feel morally superior to others. Fuck citron, hopefully eden or whatever new hydra head arrives will improve from this
I don't get why they don't just invoke pearl harbor and say they have a god-given right to infringe on any japanese patent they want

>>557796931>Eden actually managed to get the Prinny games to save/loadYeah definitely fuck Citron, I tried to report the issue with them and their only answer was to delete the shader cache, for a save issue

stenzek was right, retroarch is evil, we hate retroarch around here
>>557845885stenzek is a mentally ill individual retroarch is the best thing that happened to emulation
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near_(programmer)wait wait wait, did byuu really ack himself? I thought he staged his death to escape kiwifarms harassment and then moved on to work on ares? am I retarded?
>>557845275He plays obscure Saturn games and makes bug reports on them, which go ignored.
>>557847376No, we're pretty sure he faked his death.There's zero evidence of anything happening other than some discord troons saying it did, and then there was a dude who showed up out of nowhere like a month after his "death" that was a high level expert at emulation and the ares codebase and had a underage boy fursona commissioned from literally the same artist as byuu's underage boy fursona.I forgot his new name though. It was italian sounding I think. Anyone remember?
>>557849180https://gwern.net/doc/psychiatry/autism/2023-usdepartmentofstate-byuunearsuicidefoiaresponse.pdfthen what is this, a forgery?
>>557833186It had a camera called the EyeToy that connected to the USB ports. It was like a very primitive version of Kinect. You could actually use it as a regular webcam on your PC through a custom driver, though the quality wasn't great (maybe ok for the time?).Speaking of which, Is the EyeToy emulated on PCSX2? I'm guessing not?
>>557847376Yes, he did off himself. Don't listen to the schizo.
>>557848767lmao every fucking time, you'd think these internet badasses held the keys to the kingdom from how they speak
>>557851382Nope, after looking a bit deeper I'm 100% convinced he didn't.https://github.com/Screwtapellothis is byuuhttps://git.libretro.com/libretro/bsnes/-/commit/4faca659c12ffc81d932cb0d23fea477f227d9d1and this is his only commit to libretroMan, what EVIL fucking people these trannies areDanny is the real victim here because an army of lefty underlings is going around spreading slander on him
this general really does attract the best in class huh
so long story short, we're not getting native Ymir in Retroarch because a bunch of lefty fucks convinced a clueless Brazilian developer that Danniel De Mattais is the satan and they did that because long ago a tranny got his pride hurt and set off on a lifelong vendetta
lmao that screwtapello guy is just some former maintainer/commit monkey for byuu's various projectshate leftists and trannies all you want, but you can do so without going the "matt la france is totally schizokek" route

>>557852257Everything Ymir do, Bettle Saturn do it better, so its integration to Retroarch is not really crucial. It's not like he could do upscaling like Kronos. Its purpose is to be a stand-alone that can do .chd, have a gui and not be a total piece of shit.
I just don't get why you fags have to make shit up. There's plenty of amply documented shitty things these people have done or said out there for you to dig up if you're looking to smear and drag through the mud whatever "good" name they have among those who give a shit. There's no need to literally go pepe silvia and gather and present all this "flimsy" evidence, and to what end? To take them from shitty mentally unstable autists to outright nefarious and evil villains?
>>557854110>Everything Ymir do, Bettle Saturn do it betterI disagree after testing both. Ymir has faster loading, less cpu overhead, and MUCH better deinterlacing. Compatibility is worse now but it's actively developed, beetle saturn is EOL.libretro could really benefit from ymir
>>557854424Well, when its compatibility catches up with Beetle, then we'll talk about it.
>>557854926>options are bad mkaycan you hear yourself

>>557854110>Everything Ymir do, Bettle Saturn do it betterExcept performance, Ymir runs great on my Deck. Meanwhile on Beetle Saturn, it's so intensive I can't reliably fast forward.
>>557859389Also, if SSF wasn't closed source, that would totally be a core by now.
>>557854110>Bettle Saturn do it betterBeetle has:-Worse performance-Less modern options-Actual GUIAs for compatibility, may i remind you that the reason mednafen dev offed himself is because having to use hacks to achieve saturn compatibility destroyed him.

>>557873989Unfortunately, nobody really cares about that project. I talked to some of the emu devs (if I remember right), and on top of that, it's not exactly easy to implement either.As far as I know, only BigPEmu and Ares have properly implemented it. DuckStation went the .fx/ReShade route instead.xemu, PCSX2, and Dolphin are still busy sniffing their own farts about it, though at least they're compatible with the ReShade hook.And yeah, no need to even bring up RPCS3, Xenia Edge, and the rest.https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Shaders,_presets_and_filters#Librashader
>>557873989>Librashadermentally ill dev
>>557875919Duckstation as added support for Slang shader some times ago. Not via Libra, but by dropping your RA shader folder into it and tweaking the absolute path of your presets, it work fine.
>>557876006All emu devs are mentally ill. Normal people are gainfully employed and raising families, the only people able to devote their entire lives to working for free on video games are antisocial freaks on disability.
>>557874743themaister is the creator and it was based on byuu's libsnes
>>557876359slang is its own thing, RA's implementation of slang is non-standard, so even if another emulator wants to share shaders it specifically has to implement RA's version of slang as well as all the RA-specific semantics that RA shaders rely on
>>557876614It work just fine I personally tested it.
>>557876805>he plays on cuckstation instead of beetle psxgaaaaaay

Like, there are more advanced and complex deinterlacing techniques out there that haven't been implemented in PCSX2 yet, right?

proper ntsc simulation is crazier than I thought, you pretty much have to go from rgb all the way back to color phase shifts in the original analog signal
>>557901090>in a hot minute2 year silence is not a hot minute.
>>557906582Further than that. A lot of the NTSC artifacting is due to rate of the pixel clock in the consoles themselves. Some consoles also had janky encoders that introduced their own artifacts.

>>557906582The way the NES worked in that regard is absolutely fascinating, and a complete and total clusterfuck.To the point where no 2 consoles actually output the same colours, because the signal it outputs is a load of mess that is decoded by hardware inside the TV in real time, and there's absolutely no consistency to it.
>>557969276This can be somewhat simulated in emulators if you set the colour output to "Raw" (which by itself will give you an image that is complete garbage. But then you combine that with a specific shader which takes that garbage image and turns it into something that actually works.
>>557958573>paying for an emulator that isn't as good as software emulators and has less featuresAbsolute brain damage.
Fact #1:NTSC-J has a whitepoint value of 9300KFact #2:Not a single game made in Japan for analog consoles has undergone any color correction for the NTSC-U release (6500K whitepoint)Ergo, the idea that game developers had an intention of presenting their game in a particular color scheme is a fallacy. Hence, the whole pursuit of color accuracy is a folly.
>>557970468This is why I wanted a filter that blended the pixels together but wasn't a flat out CRT filter 1:1 autism is just that, autism, but obviously old games aren't designed for a modern OLED.

>>557987496soul
>>557987496it's not blendingat least for the nes case, you can sort of imagine it in rgb terms like each pixel could only fit 2 of the rgb components and had to get the 3rd component from its neighbor (this isn't how it actually works, just illustrative), something like>| rg | br | gb | rg | br | gb |if all the pixels are the same color there's no problem, if adjacent pixels are different colors then you get artifacting (new colors that aren't present in the underlying pixel data)you get the vertical crawling effect because the phase shifts every line and frame like>rgbrgbrgb>gbrgbrgbr>brgbrgbrg
