stop asking refraction to merge PGS and learn to use Retroarch, brainlets
Instead ask him why he changed his tune from "GovanifY didn't hack Ermilos" to "GovanifY hacked Ermilos to save the children!!1" and why he thinks compromising evidence like that is acceptable.
Trying to emulate Pokemon Stadium (the jap version) but the gym leader castle and some cups bug out and don't save the progress.Gym leader castle doesn't let me pick anything past the first gym despite beating it and the cups with multiple difficulties only let me get the trophy from the first difficulty but not the second, so I can't play any of the further ones.Tried 3 different emulators (simple64, Ares, Gopher64) and they all had the same issue.Did I fuck up going for the Japanese version instead of the International one? Having a hard time even googling for others with the same issue.
>>564365720>reddit dramaYou'll never be a woman.
>>564373260And you'll never touch one so I guess that makes us even.
>>564373260>>564380120
>>564364643Better, learn how to build the standalone version of it.
>>564372815I played the european version of the game and managed to finish it, so must be something specific to this version. Also, which japanese version? The OG with not even all the pokemon inside or the one that was called Pokemon Stadium at the international but was actually Pokemon Stadium 2 for them?
>>564381773Poke Stadium 2Just didn't want to call it that to not mix it up with the Gold and Silver oneAlso switching to the international one would be a real pain in the ass now that I've already grinded out my pokemon in the Japanese Red and Green versions.
>>564382740Which emulator did you use?
>>564382993See >>564372815>Tried 3 different emulators (simple64, Ares, Gopher64) and they all had the same issue.Could be that it'd work better on some of the plugin based emulators, who knows.
>>564383060I never add any problem with the european version on Ares. And since it's happen in three different emulator, maybe something is wrong with that specific version.
>>564383274Yeah I'm wondering if it could even be something with the specific ROM I got, although that seems pretty unlikely.I'll probably try to get a different ROM, if it doesn't work one more emulator, and if that doesn't work I'll either just give up or try the international version. Just grinding one broken Mon per cup isn't that much work if you fill the rest of your team with rentals.
>>564383480You could also try to load the japanese GB game into the international version, who knew, could work, I've managed to do that with a (light) rom hack even.
>>564383993Yeah I haven't tried it, just got some search results which claimed that you can't do it while looking how to fix the issue I have.Although supposedly there are some third party utilities to move them from one version to another.

>>564383274Tried it on Retroarch with whatever outdated mupen64-plus core I had on it, and while it looked and ran like shit, surprisingly it did work.Guess the other emulators I tried were too similar to each others.I guess the easiest way to go from here is to figure out how to transfer my save between emulators so I don't need to beat the other cups again and can just use my saved up rosters in RA instead of dealing with how to set up the transfer pack on it.
I think Armored Core might actually be bad.
Why the fuck am I seeing this Will Sasso character-ass Nintendo worshipping engagement farmer shilled on here? I only have UBO disabled on here because it started breaking the captchas.
Oh sweet, UBO doesn't break it anymore. I'm still here forever, but at least it can be the 8th circle of hell instead of the 9th.
holy shit >>564356761 pcsx2-standalone sisters...no...not like this...
>>564390040>mogs softwareKind of boggles the mind a bit. I always figured if software was broken no renderer will fix it but I guess it's just as error prone. but no, don't merge it Refagtion, god forbid you eat some humble pie for the sake of user experience. Make users download tons of compiler bloat and waste their time with instructions and building every time they want a new version. Make them trust some misanthropic freak's build on here. You can trust ciggy, a guy who will submit bugs on one hand and knowingly waste your time with one hand, and hold a knife behind his back and call your emulator shit on 4chan with the other.

>>564390040It happen at the very very end of the game, litterally the last corridor. But, when I played it, and it was before PGS was a thing, I didn't remember is was that bad... I remember the issue on github though...
>>564363541it is still criminal tat sengoku blade has such few doujinshi
>>564395295sigarettenstank/kurayami7/thelastangryman1907All the same faggot who a-logs emudevs (was up Duckstation/Stenzek's ass for eons but is now on to Ymir, occasionally PCSX2 and Ares), posts fetish content on here, simpson-avatars. Claimed this doughy retard Matthew LaFrance was Stenzek for years but is clamming up on it when pressed now.Refraction is the lead PCSX2 dev, or was, a lot more absent/backseat these days. You're looking at Parallel-GS, a 3rd party renderer for PCSX2 that's superior to GSdx and software mode, but Refraction won't merge it because he doesn't want to support it, so people have to get it by some pain in the ass of their choosing: Retroarch, Arch Linux build, compiling themselves, or trusting a Win64 build on here.
>>564400768He asked. I answered, and I'm not wrong, am I? You also tried unmasking Stenzek, or at least smearing him with someone else for ages on here, so you have no room to talk.
>>564387460I once transferred saves just by putting the .srm file inside the right directory. Perhaps it will work for you.You can also try the ParaLLEl options on Mupen64Plus-Next to make it output closer to real hardware.
>>564399428>that's superior to GSdx and software modeNope, still has issues with the majority of games and doesn't run on older hardware( don't you dare deny it, same shit happened with the n64 version until the dev was bullied into fixing his mess).> because he doesn't want to support itOr he doesn't want to deal with a bazillion more bugs with a dev that is very infrequent when it comes to updating.
>>564394079more like... retroclash LMAObased?
>>564390040https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/pull/13791
>>564401413You just witnessed an example of even software mode failing in comparison to it. PGS is superior or at the very least equal to GSdx in rendering accuracy without a teetering stack of hacks propping it up. Just merge it with an "it is what it is" asterisk or popup or something, fuck.
>>564399428>refraction doesnt want people to open more issues from a foreign software implementation created by someone elseVery fair. Why there's no PGS fork done by someone else? That way the PCSX2 team doesnt have to support a software they didnt create.
>>564401841That would be nice, been suggesting that for a minute. That's more accountable than someone's :^) build on catbox. TheMaieeaister has an Arch Linux build, effectively a fork, ready, but that's Lunix.
>>564401334I already found the software to convert the .fla files into .srm and back and beat some cups and gym leaders.At this point it kinda werks so I won't fuck around with it any further. Simple64 is nice since it lets me keep 4 different saves on each transfer pack easily, so I'll just throw the save to retroarch and back when I need to.
>>5644069763x Native2x MSAA16x AnisotropicArea SamplingA-Sync ÜbershaderMy 10-year-old Alienware 17R3 with a GTX 970m is still fighting like a champ. I’ve been playing God of War on LARPS2 without parallel-gs, and it ran great at 4x native resolution. A few months ago, it crashed and I had to switch to either OpenGL or DirectX, I can’t quite remember which. Performance-wise, it’s just as good as standalone PCSX/DolphinEmudevs are definitely optimizing their shit.Elad you hoeless faggot, you gotta learn from PCSX/LRPS2/Dolphin-Emu niggas, you are doing so fucking bad, you weak jew boy.

>>564411080its getting old
>>564411885Fuck you.>>564411080Keep going bezel anon, this is better than the regular teenage-tranny-drama this thread is full of.
>>564408135>GTX 970mYeah 970M is actually solid for about 95% of emulators (excluding specific cases like parallel-GS, Xenia Canary, or shadPS4 etc). The real bottleneck is that i7-6700HQ, the EmuGen wiki puts the HQ in the "Level 1" performance tier (unlike the desktop 6700 variant). That CPU is what’s going to struggle with newer emulators from here on out.https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Computer_specifications#Demand_Levels
>>564411080>people are doing this Super Gameboy shit on purposeAlso, if you have an OLED I have no idea why you would. The perfect black space is far more immersive than lit elements surrounding the game, especially in a dark room. It was only done on SGB because of scaling issues. This makes a little more sense on a LCD but meh, it's corny. I know you're avin' a giggle with this one and the Kostas ratio and the Wii-TV, but here I am engaging with you seriously because I am chained to my desk.
>>564412225it’s good to know

>>564412225The AVX2 should help this cpu but PCSX2 team think it's too early make that jump
>>564411080That was good, time for some 'cast.
>>564419203Left, I guess, there's some weirdness with the effect on the ground under Tidus's feet on the right one.
>>564386351Whatever happened to imgur, anyway? Did they mass purge simply because they want to force people to sign up for their shit? Typical modern internet...
>>564429982That pic in particular govanify has been gdpr/dmcaing.
>>564431038So... it's a Cookie's Bustle-type case? Not surprising.
>>564298607i think most of posts about emulation improvements comes from AVX512 posts but I think searching the archive for phoronix links will give you every single post I have made about emulation. Truly I would search it myself out of curiosity but the archive is too complicated for me and I never find what I want because I don't know how to use it effectively.
https://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/448839842/#q449279412I got replies but no answer to this question and almost 3 years later I still dont know if this got fixed or if it's still a problem.

>reee standalone pcsx2 bad reeeeeeee cause of some measly and irrelevant bugs on some obscure titles that no one cares aboutyou retards genuinely do not play games, I've completed over 50 games on pcsx2 start to finish with zero issues over the years pcsx2 is excellent, especially for all the popular titles

are final fantasy games overrated?i dont know why but they dont attract me
>>564485280Only play FFX through XIII. The earlier ones are just generic turn-based JRPGs that were only popular because of the era, weebs and midwits. You can find better turn-based games and dungeon crawlers on the Amiga and other computer systems. Old FF games are just a massive time-sink and look like garbage, even on a CRT. XIV is fine if you like MMOs, but anything newer is just corporate slop rehashing the same ideas.
>>564486089i always thought FFVII looked like shit and the story doesnt seem interestingi dont know why would play it over something a lot more interesting like xenogears
>>564486089>FFX> generic turn-based JRPGsGood job.

>>564493812>13XIII is kino
>>564493812>FFx10 is generic jrpg before they were even a thing (!)FFX was actually pretty good,yeah. My point was that the earlier ones feel like generic turn-based games with shitty graphics.>All jrpg's are a time sik, they are designed that way.Yeah, kind of. I appreciate the art direction and the soundtracks, but other than a few absolute jams, most turn-based JRPGs are honestly trash.

Well, liked. Most of the games that came out after 10 suck ass for varying reasons.)
>>564504491Ever since they switched to rolling releases after the 1.7-dev builds, I don't think that's a huge problem anymore. Although, I feel like they're stalling too much on the upcoming 2.8 release; because of that, a ton of features are just sitting in the dev builds. There are still a lot of PRs planned for 2.8 that seem stuck right now. I wonder what their actual plan is.https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/milestone/9
