>>565812712many thanks
>>565801345Sculptured Software are such hit and miss devs. They make decent games like Super Star Wars, but then make shit like Bart's Nightmare.
>>565806680Knight on the Town.
>>565814684Bart's Nightmare is so weird and bad because it was made by motherfucking Bill Williams. Seriously, look into Mindwalker, Necromancer, Knights of the Crystallion. They have this running theme of meshing several types of gameplay and abstract goals/progression. Alleycat is legit fun and kino, but you can see a bit of this in that game too.
>>565815406I guess that explains the tacked-on hub world, I'm glad Virtual Bart abandoned that completely. Even if the minigames on offer were no better.
>>565815519I'm pretty sure hell is an endless version of the Maggie temple stage. Never beat it, and I'm not gonna both save scumming to find out how the fuck it works.
>>565816218I literally watched a tutorial on how to beat that stage, and I still feel like I only beat it out of pure luck.
Can I emulate Life of Black Tiger on ShadPS4? Fuck Bloodborne.
>>565820276Why's this galibert motherfucker calling whisper "ungrateful" when R.Belmont was the dude behind those improvements?
How come PPSSPP includes a bunch of CRT shaders but no LCD shader? I guess it works because there's a bunch of PS1 ports, and crt shaders still help with pixelart, but it's weird.
>>565825484PSP games have their resolution within crt range. It looks fine with those shaders. But LCD ones should be included as well, although it's increasingly harder to get things look right with them as your screen gets bigger. CRT shaders scale better in that regard. Also, the handheld had that AV out, if someone is nostalgic for that.
turns out the steam controller uses a 8.39Wh battery while my ps4 controller has a 1.000Wh battery
>>565801345Those games are so terrible.
>>565825484Use it with retroarch and use RA's lcd shaders.
>>565835125I've played the entirety of R&S: Time Warp, so I can confidently say Sculptured Software has made much worse.
https://github.com/hifihedgehog/PadForgeLooks to be the new replacement for DS4Windows. Redditors appear to be up in arms about it because it uses LLMs, but it seems like an alright successor that isn't paid like DSX.
>>565837698The politicization of LLMs is such baizuo nonsense. It's the new bumper sticker for eternal losers.
>>565838140I'm more pissed off that LLMs have guardrails when it comes to anything copyright-related.
>>565837698>bible quoteAhhh, it all becomes clear why some 40-something never-homeowner debt slave would make a stink about it using LLMs. Not that I'm a christfag either, but I can see through the rebbit bullshit clearly.
>>565837698Why do you even need a replacement? Emulators and Steam recognize the DS4 and Dualsense just fine, it's not 2014.
>>565838813Future-proofing, though schmaldeo's fork is recent enough that I shouldn't have to worry for too long.
>>565835125The final two levels of Super Return of the Jedi will put the fear of god in you.
>>565838236Same, but getting mad for some pretentious heckin ethical reason is asinine. It's the next logical step in IT and one had better account for it or get left in the dust. Where were they when other jobs/tasks were trivialized by countless other innovations? Let's not pretend the IT industry was even remotely good for the environment before AI either. If their concerns get them the fuck off my internet at last, that works for me. It won't, though.
>>565838813DS4Win is more than just a way to connect the controller to PC. It can convert it to dinput or xinput for games/emus that need one or the other. The controller can be remapped as you see fit (dpad <-> analog, any button to any other button) along with mouse/key binds, and it can detect game executables and switch profiles automatically. The deadzone and poll rates can be adjusted. The gyro can be fully tweaked and mapped. Selling it short is the same kind of smoothbrained way mids interpret Retroarch. Furthermore >using Steam at allfucked gross, vastly prefer DS4Win over that bloated consoomer garbage.

>>565842269Thoughts on the PC version?
>>565843032That was unreleased as far as I can tell.
>>565842269I remember the game having a ton more slowdown. Is it being overclocked?
>>565843032Haven't played that version yet.>>565848284It leaked.>>565850230It's the regular speed, no overclock, that's just a luck record the game is chock full of big slowdown.
does anyone actually care about the 3D on the 3DS?wasnt the 2DS selling more than the 3DS at some point?
>>565852565I did when it was first launched, and some of the games that made use of it were really cool!

How is raspberry pi for emulation?I wanted to get one to easily play, on a CRT, 3rd and 4th gen consoles with some Playstation 1 occasionally.
Playing Gravity Rush 2 via gr2fork @ 60fps. Shit's pretty cash.
>>565860504I just use dlpsgame. I install pkgs using Shadps4 7.0. There are 3rd party package extractors but meh, that's still the easiest way.
>>565867850>CRTGet a Wii instead.
>>565867850I'll further suggest FreePSXBoot and a real Playstation for PS1 if you're not that hardcore about it. This might seem like a more convoluted setup than just buying a Raspberry Pi but for those classic consoles on the Wii you get that sweet 240p output which makes it the obvious choice. It's cheap and hackable. You can probably get a Playstation pretty cheap too but you're going to need to fuck around with optical media or an ODE so perhaps that's a lot of effort for little gain?
>>565882420Then why are you posting it again?

so whats actually the best version of castlevania symphony of the night?
>>565893092Original PS1 Japanese version. There's a good fan translation patch for it.
>>565893092The switch version has extra content.
>>565855041Yeah the 3d was pretty cool honestly. There are some parts in 3d land where its required to actually see whats going on with the level.
>>565893092Saturn.
>>565909385There is no Switch version of symphony of the night. Check your facts!
Kino.
>>565916473Install emulator on switch. Play symphony.You were saying?
>>565923365I liked Baroque more.
>>565878005The thing is, a rpi 3 (wich 240p composite support) is less than a wii where I live and can play psx on it as well.Which cons does a rpi have in this scenario vs a wii?
>>565912370Saturn version is a curiosity for those who already played the original. It plays worse, looks worse, and the extra content is low quality.
>>565923365Is it possible to play this game without a guide?
>>565931176Yes absolutelyKing's Field 3 is likely the hardest of all 4 games to play without looking stuff up, and there's one thing (the wind crystal) that might trip you up in the beginning, but if you're not an idiot it's fine.
>>565928684>Which cons does a rpi have in this scenario vs a wii?For crts: Pi is cheaper and more practical, but limited; Wii is more expensive, some trouble to find the controllers and parts, but plays more games and have more useful homebrews.No problem getting a Pi, but it's really limited. The Pi 4 is a bit better overall, but way worse for crts (still usable though). As long as you keep your expectations low, you'll be fine.
>>565912238>3d landSo glad I got into that game before 3D World, as that's the game people most fondly remember with its Bowser's Fury expansion.
>>565935251Oh ok, I've read it will run psx and below without major issues. Maybe opinions are a little positive, that's why I asked in the first place.
>>565930008I disagree on all points. Cope.
>>565935251Also, the truth is, to be completely honest, that I've been trying to get a Wii without much success.All the ones I find at a reasonable price are totally wrecked, or come with fake Wiimotes, without sensor bar, etc. And the ones that are in relatively good condition (I don't care if they're pristine) go for around ~$180+..
>>565940319You can disagree but you can't refute any of them.
>565940319You deserve the wall for being this much of a contrarian shitposter or this much of a diseased fan faggot for a terrible platform. (You)The game has bad scaling baked right into it, slows down, and has terrible dithering and blocky lighting in spots because C team waterheads converted it with poor consideration for the machine. Let's not forget lower quality sound effects.
Trying to play any ds game on melonds ds IMPROVED retroarch core. Selecting anything except software video mode causes instant crash.BRAVO!
>>565935251Get real and build a AMDGPU->transcoder->component-in setup or buy a misterpi. Anything else is half-ass.
>>565939397>without major issuesAnd it's true: without *major* issues, but minor ones will happen regardless. For instance, SNES and Mega Drive will run fine, but the former will need to stick to Snes9x 2010 and the latter can't make use of the Nuked audio emulation. Is it the end of the world? No. Although it's a bummer to see it performing worse than your average cheap work PC. The Pi 4 solves those issues, but botches composite output. And, even if you're fine playing on an LCD screen with shaders, you're still practically stuck with up to PS1, just with better emulation and performance.>>565940424I believe you. Retrogaming hardware gets worse by the day, while still getting more expensive. Either you already have your setup from better days, or you need to be lucky. Frankly, the cost-effective current solution is a custom-built PC for emulation. If you just want systems from the CRT era, it's not expensive and doesn't need more than an iGPU.
>>565939104[samefag]Though I'm not gonna lie, the launch lineup was extremely weak. I was playinig a Smash clone before the actual Smash showed up on 3DS. (CN Punch Time Exploson, to be exact. Way too early to cash in on the competitive Smash scene LOL.)
>>565942934>this easily deterredTry another video API. Try disabling run-ahead if it's on.
>>565943448>Try another video APITried it, only software works. And guess what, the standalone emulator works perfectly.
>>565885125Fuck off, Charles, lmao.
>>565943757WOMM but you're better off using the standalone anyway. It has more features and functionality.
>>565942962Yeah, I didn't know about the rpi''s limitations (does the Wii support a better snes emu and the Genesis GX audio chip?)Even so, the idea is to output to a CRT. With a pc I'm not sure how viable it is to get proper 240p output. I've seen some tutorials using an hdmi to YPbPr converter, but that means finding a CRT TV with component input, which just makes things more complicated...
>>565944172I can't say much about current emulation on the Wii. When I used it, more than a decade ago, it was on par with the Pi 3. Things may have gotten better, but I won't lie saying I'm sure of that. Virtual Console games work mostly fine though.If you really want quality, then a PC coupled with a GPU possessing analog video out is the way to go. If you're more flexible, then get a digital-only PC and use some converter (quality will take a hit). If really just want some basic console, then the Pi 3 will suffice.Another route is to build a MiSTer (or buy pre-built), but that too will demand some high bucks and research. Basically, crt gaming is becoming more and more of a niche thing, so it's becoming harder to have an easy solution for that.
>>565907071what about the psp one?is that more for a second playthrough?
>>565947938>high bucksA MisterPi w/ analog board is $170-190 depending on how much shit you want to come with it. Out of stock, though. A spare PC with an appropriate AMD card + transcoder isn't free either, but it is cheaper. A Radeon HD 7870 is doing well for me; it supports modern vulkan+drivers in troonix and outputs analog video. Those can be found for $20-30 on eBay. VGA to YPbPr transcoders run anywhere from $30-70. I see some chink ones on eBay for 30. They probably work. I have experience with the more expensive ones from wakabavideo. Then you can put it all on whatever ewaste board/case/PSU will take them.
>>565893092PS1.There's a list of problems a mile long with the saturn version i've posted about a dozen times over the years. Everything from missing transparencies, incorrect aspect ratio so they stretched it out, slowdown, extra load times, missing levels, downsampled audio, etc etc etc.It's on the castlevania wiki.
>>565958108Hopefully the decomp will give us everything in one place one day.
>>565902453You need to fix the gamma up on that. The colours are extremely washed out. With arcade games, your gamma in mame should be set to 0.7. Otherwise your games look washed out like that.Most shaders in retroarch will have a gamma option or some kind of black level parameter you can adjust. Colour/gamma correction in arcade games is absolutely essential, it's as essential as it is with GBA emulation.
>>565941550It blows my mind that this was in a finished game that was for sale on store shelves.
4chan is very slow did we got hacked again?
>>565959167Nah, captchas load instantly on my end.
https://github.com/Arntzen-Software/parallel-gs/commits/main/sars...
>>565947938Yeah, Mister would be a better option but it s expensive and always out of stock. I dont even aspire to a mister perse but mister pi and qmtech instead.anyway, thank you. I think i'm gonna try the rpi 3 first and chcek how far it goes. It will, I hope, at least give me time to let other options arise.
>>565965362Just build a cheap PC for it as stated above. The Pi's a piece of shit and you will tire of its bottlenecks. Unless you already have it or have it ordered, then go nuts.
>>565959329so i am being throttled by 4chan or my isp because everything else is working fine and no its not only the captchat but the images
>>565968012It could possibly be that. For some reason, I can't use more than one device using the same IP or otherwise one of them gets IP blocked. (Which sucks, because I use my Deck often whenever I'm AFK.)
>>565968012I had to disable UBO once to get around that. See if that or any of your other adblockers are getting in the way.
>>565940918Don't have to. They were all subjective.
>>565971330No, they're not. It's measurably and demonstrably a worse looking, worse playing, worse sounding port with (somewhat) interesting new content. It's been neatened up a bit with hacks, but it's still a lousy port. I'm positive it could have been better if designed from the ground up for the Saturn, but it wasn't.
>>565931176Yes just make sure you get the automap from that elf guy in the hedgemaze area. There are secrets you'll probably never find on your own but they're mostly superweapons that break the game. Which you don't need.
Kino stage transitions.
>>565972631>demonstrablyFeel free to demonstrate all your points then. To me this is all in the realm of subjectivity.

Anon, two questions regarding Dolphin:Will it support Wii motionplus?Do games that are not advertised as motion plus still use it if it’s available on the original hardware? If yes, will they work with Dolphin as well?
Resulation
>>5660140941. Dolphin says it does, though I never personally tested it.2. Motion Plus only kicks in for games that support it. No difference for other ones. But it's still compatible, just as if it's a regular wii remote.
>>566014094>Do games that are not advertised as motion plus still use it if it’s available on the original hardwareHave you ever used a wii before?

>>566043638Just get one of the wiimotes with it integrated. Should be clearly marked the front, and yes, with a bluetooth adapter it works fine in Dolphin.
>>566042984Lol chud, mvg recommends it ti so i am going to listen to him.
>>566044938He would. So tired of the same shill wagons circling for all this millennial midwit bait.
>>565985447Did you like it? I thought it was such a let down. Attacking feels so stilted, with poor range and tons of tiresome button mashing. As with many Saturn games, it's more style than substance.
Mario Modules 2 is pretty fuckin great. Thanks esoooo, good rec.

>>565976202This is a great example of why discord is cancer. If a mod or any piece of software is behind a d-cord server it's dead to me. Okay these guys want to probably get some protection from nintendo's lawyers but does this really even work in practice, I don't know, citron is still based on yuzu source and as such they are still as liable because of the previous case. Don't get me wrong, fuck nintendo, it's anti-consumer corporation.
>>566058048They can also just nuke it at any time. Usually when their sick fuck server culture catches too much heat, or the one of the team members or mods melt down. Then important instructions and software are gone forever.

>>565976202LMAO, that is the most pretentious way to say you don't want to support your product (and probably wouldn't know where to begin, since it's built on someone else's work and you just vibed on top of it) I've ever seen. I'm sure their butt buddy inner circle shares pirated shit all the time. Amongst other things :^) If you one of you is reading this, know you are a gigantic faggot and I hope you die (peacefully, in your sleep of natural causes)
Real tired of this archetype too. Emu-cords are lousy with them.
>>566059956You should avoid using Bluesky, Reddit and Discord.
>>565976202They are still doing that? Like, their server still exist even after all the dram and the third name-change/reboot of the emulator?
>>565987691Isn't that the least of that game's problems in emus? Isn't scanning still wildly fucked up and doesn't it still have trouble locking on to whatever's in front of you? Or is that resolved now?

>>566072257Keep seething Saturn fag.
>>566073470Exa arcadia are the faggots who asked Mame not to emulate the last few Cave games and they sure af not gonna allow anything else since for their own arcade system.
>>566075615NooooooAny hope a rogue emu dev gives them the middle finger anyway?
>>566075789It's just a little PC with hardware drm, so hopefully one day. They honestly have a few interesting games, I would just go and play the games if there were more arcades around..
32X emulation on BlastEm is now a work-in-progress, with DOOM being the first game to boot.
>>566073470Best you're gonna get is the original Steam release. Reception seems to be mixed on it, but I dunno how much they cleaned it up and improved it for Exa. The Exa deal, I believe, is that it has to have a suped up version with extra content in order to be on the platform. Consider Maldita Castilla EX in the meantime, or Volgarr the Viking.The day this platform gets cracked and running through an x86 arcade loader TeknoParrot or something like what's available for Sega/Konami/Taito can't come soon enough. Fuck these people.
>>566079118Is 32x lacking in any particular way in the other emus?
>>566082205Genesis plus gx doesn't play 32x at all. I have to keep the picodrive core installed in RA if i want to play Blackthorne.
>>566082368Picodrive improved somewhat months ago. I don't play 32X, but is picodrive really lacking? Honest question.
>>566082368Several emus support it. Gens, Kega Fusion, jgenesis, Ares, MAME... I somehow doubt between all of them there's a 32x game you can't play.
>>566083703From what i've seen of it, it's fine. I only use it for 32x but it's good.
for emulating the 3D on 3DShow does that work?do you need a screen that has 3D fuctionality?
>>566075132Ok esl who doesn't know what demonstrate means
>>566067712>Or is that resolved now?Without having ever tried playing that game I'll confidently say no. There is no competent dev working on any Ryujinx/Yuzu fork.
>>566081542This Super Battle Princess version seems to be a version 3.0 of Princess Madelyn, 2.0 being the Switch exclusive version(called EX Royal or something)I don't know much of an improvement the Switch version is so yea the best thing to do is emulate it. Aware of Maldita Castilla will get in the next promo, didn't know about Volgar though. Thanks anon
>>566085247yeah. VR should work too.
>>566087098Thanks for making me aware of the Switch version too. Maybe it's less rough than the Steam one.

Does Downscaling even do anything for pure 2D games? Pic related was running 16x on Swanstation with downscaling set to Box but i didn't notice any difference from 1x
>>566142271Of course not, you are just duplicating pixels.It's essentially taking a matrix and expanding it.Like turning [1 2 3 4]Into [1 1 2 2 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 3 3 4 4]Then into[1 23 4]Again
major vita3k dramahttps://github.com/Vita3K/Vita3K/pull/3906new qt ui to replace imgui one. main dev says NO
>>566150451The real question is: could a statement be written without loads of emojis, in current year? It's seems like not.
>>566150451>major vita3k dramaWhat drama? Some rando plastered a generic qt Ui onto vita3k and the dev told him to fuck off.Hats of to the dev. QT is pure soulless garbage that will be used to force windows 11 only in a year or two.
>>566150451>Feeling cute and composedI am immediately on the side of the main dev.
>>566151175It's because he used ai to write it for him.
>>566153840he's esl and barely speaks english so i can't knock him for it
>>566154057He can just remove them.
>>566150451Wouldn't this be a great improvement? I've only used Vita3K a few times on Loonix and the gooey always felt really janky.
>>566157451Fuck off zoomie.
>>566150451Holy basedI will use your emulator.
>>566157451The UI is in fact dogshit but not "worse than aislop made by a esl" dogshit
>>566153139>QT is pure soulless garbage that will be used to force windows 11 only in a year or two.I'm expecting the same. Wouldn't be surprised if they bake it into the Qt7 roadmap to force a hardware/OS floor. If that happens, emu projects are just going to freeze their upstreams and park on Qt6 for a decade, exactly like the mess we had with the Qt5 to 6 transition.heeltrick swapped Xenia Edge over to wxWidgets because it’s actually native and way snappier than Qt6. More projects should probably jump ship before the Win11+ enforcement starts. People are already fed up with Microslop’s bloat at this point.
>>566162256Except Stenzek who will gladly make the switch.
>>566162256Man I miss dolphin's wxwidgets ui. It used to boot instantly and feel so responsive.
>>566162535I doubt even Stenzek would go that far now. In the eyes of most power users, Microsoft is finished; they have simply run out of chances.Although guys like Stenzek can always pull the 'just switch to Linux' card...
>>566162913imagine still using wangblows in 2026, especially for emulation
>>566162913Stenzek is QT number one fanboy and despite Linus mostly because Wayland doesn't mesh well with it. He will drop Linux support before letting go of QT.

>>566163104Well, I'm using both linux and win10 (and templeOS), but I'm definitely not upgrading to Winblows 11, hell no. Win10 is the last Microslop OS for me; I'm done.
>>565981268>what's the current switch emulation setup?Eden or Citron-Neo for performance.Some Ryujinx fork for compatibility.
>>566163361imagine being such a wuss and still keeping an ntfs partition of wangblows 10 enterprise slop instead of full committing to the superior OS
>>566164248>superior OSI agree, deleting everything except templeOS is a given.
>>566150451Looks like an improvement over the piece of shit GUI V3K has by default.Of course the contrarians in this thread wouldn't know about it. They clearly haven't even tried to use it.
>>566164394maybe anons will also like it when they'll feel cute and composed enough.
>>566162679Same. This Qt shit is ugly and laggy. I still remember when I updated and shit was suddenly painfully slower
>>566150451why not just ask before wasting your time and receiving a no like thisanyway, should've closed the PR for the title alone
>>566164384shitposting aside, what the hell do you need the win10 partition for? I'm assuming you've already figured out that Linux has finally reached parity with Windows in terms of gaming, and it certainly has all the alternative tools Microshit has, so what gives?genuine question here, as a fellow ex-wangblows user
>>566163227Sure thing Sanjay
>>566165129>what the hell do you need the win10 partition forI'm using a separate drive for Winblows.>I'm assuming you've already figured out that Linux has finally reached parity with Windows in terms of gaming, and it certainly has all the alternative tools Microshit has, so what gives?I don’t give a fuck about "modern" gaming. Honestly, it’s just pure laziness. I’ve got years of muscle memory and habits tied to Windows-only apps (foobar2000, advancedrenamer etc); you don’t just swap that over in a day. I’ve been using Linux for 5–6 years now (mostly for KVM stuff with WM + terminal setups without a DE) but the full migration is a slow crawl. I’ll get there eventually.>as a fellow ex-wangblows userBased.
>>566165129I would like to say everything works, but older windows game( even on wine) sometimes struggle. Mods are also weird.Linux is not a perfect solution but it will be able to be a great alternative to windows as the primary os for subscription computing by 2030 thanks to proton.
>>566165129In my case, I needed for work. There was *that* one software upper management stuck to. Fortunately, I could do around 95% of my job on Linux, and that 5% from Windows could be done through a virtual machine with a clean ISO downloaded from Microsoft's website. So it was kinda smooth for me.Unfortunately, there are some people who are cursed with software that are the norm for some jobs, like AutoCAD and ArcGIS. In their case, the alternatives aren't quite there, and there's a huge lobby to keep the proprietary versions being used. When I once had a job like that, I just swallowed the bitter pill and used Windows for work and Linux at home. The silver lining is that it was during the Win 7 era, when shit wasn't that bad.
>>566174728>The silver lining is that it was during the Win 7 era, when shit wasn't that bad.That was the last straw for me too. I stayed on Win7 for the duration of Win10 because I thought that was the end of the road for me. I only updated to 10 once Qt6 and Win11 came out, mostly because newer nt-memoryapi functions and APIs like VirtualAlloc2 and MapViewOfFile3 were forced down our throats. But this is it. I'm done playing with this shit

>>566219925Not sure, but Beetle PSX has the same option.
>>566216490Ah geez, that sucks dood. Maybe you should get real
>>566216490How is the situation on Apple Silicon? Isn't the desktop variant of it decently performing for an integrated solution? Yes, I know fags, I know, it's stupid to buy an Apple for any reason. I am just curious, though.

Saturn's VDP2 transparencies were very limited and situational, almost like the SNES. It could be that the box and the sprite were on the same 'plane', hence both made translucent.

I suppose /vr/ is a little less zoomy, porn-brained, shilled out, and generally low-IQ than /v/ and its engagement would be better. Rules is rules, though.>modern games on /vr/If it's not in relation to a /vr/ series or the /vr/ entries are front and center it's ban-bait and you know it. Just make a retro-only emugen in /vr/, be the change you want. Or just accept that you're gonna get some tards and make it in /v/ if you want all gens to be permitted.

This Phantasy Star Online game… kind of fucking sucks? You have no way move quickly or dodge attacks, you walk and then like 2 seconds later you run.I mean it all seems very impressive for the time at least, this came out in 2000 and it's a full blown actual MMO, there's a button that pulls up an onscreen keyboard to chat with people. It's very complex though, I have no clue what the fuck I'm doing or supposed to be doing.
>>566311813It's a borderline idle game.
>>5662605267th gen onwards.
>>566261334If you don't like how 30 year old games look, don't play 30 year old games.You can't remove dithering without collateral damage. Just accept it.It's like film grain. Every time someone comes up with a new technique to get rid of it, it destroys image quality and detail and contrast.
>>566288854The wii version's translation is superior.The vita translation is one of those pretentious, flowery and verbose translations where the translator wanted to show off his new thesaurus, and so they added 1000 times more words than was necessary. More words does not make it better, it usually makes it worse because the phrasing is awkward and it destroys pacing and flow.
>>566315956>can't remove it without collateral damage32bit rendering would like a word>don't like the look of itIt didn't look like that on their intended displays and signal. I don't give a fuck about your self-Mandela'd bullshit about how you could notice the dithering on RF + a CRT from 30ft away. Even if that was true it's far less prominent than on a digital flat panel with a perfect signal.
>>566311813it's pretty shitty yeah. I've always been into the dreamcast and pso isn't one of the game I cared about. Yeah it's an online game, that's cool for the time.. but lmao good luck with the phone bill (at the time). You can play it online in better ways today (even on the DC version), but that doesn't make the game good, like anon say it's borderline idle

I feel like replaying Star Fox, what do you think is the best way to go about it?>one of the recompile ports, StarForx64 recompile/Starshipor emulating the 3DS remake? (on PC).
Broke ass nigger on neetbux here:Does the 8BitDo 64 have gyro or six-axis support? I’m looking for a gamepad for gyro aiming and emulation. Right now, I have the 8BitDo Ultimate C Wired (no gyro), a Steam Controller (the original, with gyro, not bad for emulation but is not great), and a DualShock 4 V2 (perfect, but it shuts off by itself on Windows 10 despite troubleshooting with no solution). I was considering the 8BitDo M30, the Saturn-style one, which would be perfect with gyro but doesn’t have it. I’m not sure if the 64 model has built-in gyro since it’s also a Switch controller.
>>566358318Get the 8BitDo Pro 2. It offers the same features as the Ultimate 2C but comes with paddles instead of extra bumpers, and its layout resembles SNES/PS rather than Switch/Xbox.8bitdo 64 has no shake to wake on Switch so I doubt it has gyro.
>>566350513You're right, how else would they sell modified indie games that would normally cost $20 for $2,000? At least the Evercade cocksuckers aren't charging child trafficking tier prices for games on their platform.
At least with an arcade game with an insane display and input configuration justifies its existence. How the shit does this indie game player justify its prices? What arcade is even rocking exa shit? I somehow doubt this piggu shit is a hit in Japan. It's probably just a few rich faggots and shills in the west.

>>566373936Librashaders can be applied via shaderglass with a frame of lag, and many CRT shaders are available via Reshade but it's far fiddlier to get good results (scanlines that line up, etc) ... so yeah, it kinda is. The benefit of 'shart shading is that it does all the scaling math for you. PC98 was a (semi) high res platform and the dithering will still be present even with CRT shading, as it was on hardware. unless you force the horizontal resolution/increase horizontal blur in the shader, or add a shader with an undithering algo like gdapt/sgenpt/cbod
Starting to become a believer in Reshade because it now has Guest + Royale, and it doesn't add pacing/lag to the chain like ShaderGlass. Fucking Guest and it's color fuckery, though. The defaults should not fuck with contrast, temp, and gamma NEARLY this much.
>it's-ing wrong like a thirdieI'm ashamed.
Who is resulating this hood classic in Eden?
>>566379881>even monitors those games were made for didn't blend everythingThey didn't blend at all. They were RGB monitors.Blending dithering is a modern thing. Back in the day, people just accepted it. Many PC and arcade games used blending and they all ran on RGB monitors.
>>566382498You have low standards. It's exceedingly dull.People only like games like that and alundra because they're absolutely desperate for more zelda-like games.>>566380119CRT's can sync at whatever the refresh rate is. So there was absolutely no issues with systems that didn't output 60hz.
>>566382905Mesen and NES emulation in general is so advanced that even an """outdated""" core has absolutely nothing wrong with it.I haven't updated my mesen core in my emubox in years.
>>566430812>I haven't updated my mesen core in my emubox in yearsbut why?
>>566430645I liked it more than Alundra because it didn't waste a lot of time on bad story. Was pure gameplay.It also had very fast paced gameplay, which no zelda-like had back then + a big open world with lots of ways to explore everything.
https://github.com/Arntzen-Software/parallel-gs/commits/main/you'd think that after two years of developement, he'd have set up automatic github builds...
>>566430456It was absolutely something 15khz screens did with high res content regardless of the signal (see that Saturn fog ciggy spams all the time; even over RGB/component it's blended) and composite/RF did at 320x224 because the signal was so shit. I know you just want to bag on shaders as some sort of nu or reddit tech but fuck off with this revisionism. Was the blending perfect? Not exactly, it depended on the adjacent colors and had artifacts like fringing/rainbows, but it still blended.
>>566430645Hook up a 50hz/PAL system to an NTSC TV. See how far that gets you. The refresh rate (and resolution) range a 15khz TV will accept is pretty narrow, ackshully. 31khz monitors are far more flexible.>>566380119Old consoles didn't have a frame buffer as we know it in >=6th gen machines and modern computers. They wouldn't tear regardless of framerate/game performance, not unless the way the game rendered was inherently fucked. On 'modern' machines, there won't be tearing unless vsync/VRR is off. On 6th/7th gen you'd see games dynamically drop vsync and tear for performance reasons.
>>566436583Not really. Rgb is noticeably sharper on those systems and doesn't blend much at all. Devs used dithering on those systems because why not? Its not blending and making intermediate colors but at least you're forming some sort of gradient.
>>566437740448 absolutely blends on a 15khz CRT regardless of signal. I've seen this image in RGB for myself. As for composite/RF, far lower resolution meshes will start to blend or artifact. The intro to Zero Tolerance on Genesis blends and rainbows to shit and back. It does not look like a mesh at all.
>>566436583Anon we're talking about the pc98 here.
>>566442220Yes, that one will show dithering because it has a proper high (sort of, 24khz) res monitor. However, to say that blending is some sort of nu thing across the board is wrong. I feel like this is a point you or someone else has tried to make before and it needs to be pointed out that it's false.
>>566443051Monitors are designed to be as sharp as possible because they are for displaying text. Nothing but the most garbage monitor should blend pixels. Especially a japanese one that needs to show kanji.Also >>566438430interlacing isn't blending. Blending is a different phenomenon.
>>566443452Webm related is a blended mesh. Not interlacing.

>>566474395https://docs.lunatranslator.org/en/The OCR in Google Lens mode works pretty well. There's also https://github.com/bquenin/interpreter but I find it much worse for low res retro content.
Have to say, when it works, Interpreter's ability to overlay on top of text is sexy.
hows 360 emulation looking these days?ps4 and xbone?
Luna also wins out here. There is a line before here, where she says "Are you thinking of something weird?" and Luna gets it right, but Interpreter says "are you thinking of something pen-like" You could probably get the gist with context well enough with Int but Luna + Google Lens is just more accurate most of the time. It is an online translator, though. Int is offline.
I have to say though that overall realtime rune translators have gotten pretty good. You barely even need troonslations anymore.

TwinAphex didn't renew his apple dev account and Retroarch was deleted from the app store. Do you think he forgot or just penny pinching?
Vimm is down, hopefully for good so i can justify buying fire red on the switch.
>>566475916It’s getting better, especially regarding hardware features and peripheral emulation with Xenia Edge and Canary/Netplay. But in terms of compatibility, it’s still only in the 15% territory similar to ShadPS4.>>566454008https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Shaders,_presets,_and_filters#Quick_Reference
Did you know this hack actually has more than one level? I never knew that until I enabled a bunch of cheats LOL.
I'm trying to play valkyrie profile on retroarch with swanstation, but the sprites looks messed up, I'm not sure if I should use some special video configuration or some shader to fix it. I remember it looking better before, also, I tried to find a gameplay video and it looks fine there. What could the issue be? Does it has anything to do with it being japanese. I think there was some pal/ntsc stuff there, but I'm not sure if some settings changes may fix this.I mean, you can see these "squares" in the dude's portrait forehead.here's a video on how it is supposed to look:https://youtu.be/QtUP_Bf0aw8?si=OVd3ifbNSxZ2sNo_&t=1056
>>566491905also, there seems to be some kind of scanlines over the portrait too, which don't appear in the video.
>>566491905>I'm trying to play valkyrie profile on retroarch with swanstationfor what fucking reasonuse beetle-psx and forget about that crap
>>566492465>for what fucking reasonwell it was the one recommended in one of the OP links, also, my other games seem to be without issue there (but mostly polygon games)>>566492465>use beetle-psxwhat's better about this? also, is it possible to use one core for certain games and another for others? do I need to make another list? I'm not sure how to deal with this.
>>566492575swanstation is an abandoned fork of duckstation which was an inferior alternative to mednafen in the first placeit has absolutely no reason to exist for as long as your CPU is capable of running beetle
>>566492640oh crap, you are right, I think I confused the bird, I was supposed to install duckstation instead...So, how do I switch cores then?I guess I'll lose my saves, but it seems a fair price to pay.
>>566492971>So, how do I switch cores then?download the core, change the core association in the playlist
>>565976202It's insane that the NEO fags are doing this as well despite original Citron and ryubing doing the exact same shit while getting absolutely SHIT on for it. It's like nobody learned anything from that shitshow, and once again Kenji and eden are the only reasonable ones. I guess it makes sense that NEO turned out to be power-tripping faggotry given the tranny in charge.
>>566493068did that, selected beetle in my playlist as core, and it just says "failed to load" when I try to run the game.
>>566493467is this your first day of using ra?you could've ascertained that you're missing bios in 3 ways1. https://docs.libretro.com/library/beetle_psx/2. reading the log file upon crash3. reading the core description in the desktop mode that pulls core info with needed crc's from .info filesfucking zoomers i swear
Why would anybody emulate ps1 in retroarch?Duckstation is better than swanstation and mednafen is better then the atrocious beetle psx.Beetle psx hardware is absolutely broken.Just use xebra or duckstation.
>>566493849>mednafen is better then the atrocious beetle psxschizo
>>566493849mednafen doesnt have enhancements like bettle sw right?like increasing internal resolution or that dithering option
>>566493640>https://docs.libretro.com/library/beetle_psx/I already had those files in the system folder, but I'm not sure if I should move anything else.>>566493640>2. reading the log file upon crash>3. reading the core description in the desktop mode that pulls core info with needed crc's from .info filesI don't know where to read these log files, nor understood your step 3.
>>566494463>I don't know where to read these log files, nor understood your step 3.you will have a really hard time using RA with that attitudera will invariably require the user researching information on how to get shit running on his own, it's by design
>>566494463Did you actually download the core? Go into the core downloader and check if it's there.
>>566494830>>566494648I downloaded it, but it seems that for whatever reason, my game is loading another console (nes mesen) core, and thus, failing.
>>566494965Then, the problem may be in your playlist. Either:1. Delete it and create another one, pointing it correctly to Beetle PSX.2. Load the game directly using the "load content" option, and choosing the core when prompted.
>>566494965mesen only supports nes ,fds, unf and unif extensions, none of which relate to a ps1 gameyou can't even assign mesen to a ps1 rom file buddy
>>566495090tried this, I'm not sure if I did the correct steeps to generate a log (I did this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oz9QNBtYrr8 and I have it in a folder, not installed)These are the last log lines:[INFO] [Core]: Using content: "GAMEROUTE\Valkyrie Profile (Japan) (Disc 1).cue".[INFO] [Core]: Content ran for a total of: 00 hours, 00 minutes, 00 seconds.[INFO] [Core]: Unloading core..[INFO] [Core]: Unloading core symbols..[INFO] [Video]: Does not have enough samples for monitor refresh rate estimation. Requires to run for at least 4096 frames.
>>566496081The other games I have (I have other JP and NA games) seem to work fine, it's just the valkyrie profile which seems to be giving me issues.
is it possible to change the cursor appearance when emulating ds on retroarch?
>>566496624iirc desmume's is a dot and melonds's is a crossI recommend desumume for ds in general
>>566496480well... I give up, I guess beetle can't run valkyrie profile.
>>566496731why desmume?
>>566498003runs better, sounds better
>>566498056desmume has an opelgl renderer too right?also for the DSI enhanced gamesthey play just fine without the DSI stuff right?
Happy mother's day, emubros!
>>566496991okay, after trying with beetle HW (or whatever the other beetle core is called) I saw the log was trying to load another bin file, then opened the .cue file and foundFILE "Valkyrie Profile (Japan) (Disc 1) (v1.1).bin" BINARY TRACK 01 MODE2/2352 INDEX 01 00:00:00but the file doesn't have that "(v1.1)." part on its name, so I renamed the bin files like that, and it worked. But it's pretty late here so I'm going to bed, thank you to all for your help.
>>566493895Beetle psx is mednafen but a year behind the standalone. Saturn is even worse.>>566494453Beetle psx "enhancements" are taken from the hw core and are buggy. You get the worst of both worlds with beetle sw if you are running non native.
>>566498124>desmume has an opelgl renderer too right?Experimental and worse performance then melonds.Skip desmeme and stick with melonds.
>>566499147From what I gather, try these:1. Update your cores. Surprisingly, Beetle PSX is going through some changes recently.2. To make sure you're loading the correct file, try using the "load content" option and manually select your game. If it's a bin/cue combo, then they all need to be inside the *same* folder and you need to select the cue one. Then, select the updated Beetle PSX core.I'm not at home at the moment, but later on I'll give it a try and see if there's a problem here as well.
>>566498124>desmume has an opelgl renderer too right?yes>also for the DSI enhanced gamesno>>566499449>Beetle psx is mednafen but a year behind the standaloneprovide any concrete evidence where those supposed changes manifest>Saturn is even worsewe're talking strictly beetle-psx>Beetle psx "enhancements" are taken from the hw core and are buggynot true>You get the worst of both worldsBeetle-PSX has been the best way to emulate PS1 from 2016 till this day
>>566501884>provide any concrete evidence where those supposed changes manifestCheck the psx bug lists on mednafen forum. Beetle psx has issues with games fixed in 1.22 mednafen.Roswell and Transformers( not pure crash but has timing issues issues related to other bugs not present in mednafen) are obvious examples.>not trueObviously true. Where do you think those enhancement came from? They all came from the fork that would be called beetle hw.>Beetle-PSX has been the best way to emulate PS1 from 2016 till this dayIt is not best in any way shape or form.If you want a generic enhanced emulation experience duckstation is prefered.If you want the original experience mednafen is better.Even xebra is better then beetle psx.
>>566503546So you're saying that beetle psx is bad because Roswell Conspiracies: Aliens, Myths and Legends and Beast Wars: Transformers or whatever the fuck have timing inaccuracies, which you assumed from reading bug reports on an older mednafen version and assumed they're also present in modern Beetle-PSX, but haven't actually tested it yourself? Is that correct?
>>566503837>Is that correct?Of course not. I am saying it is bad because when testing said games( roswell music sound is immediately present in the first level) the issues were present.So my claim that it is behind the standalone mednafen si true because issues fixed in 1.22 are present on beetle psx.There Is a lot more stuff wrong with mednafen not documented and you sure as hell ain't getting the best experience by playing on a outdated fork.
>>566504073>There Is a lot more stuff wrong with mednafen not documentedThen pray tell how do you know of it
>>566504186By playing games which you obviously never did if you are praising beetle psx.I will even give you a clue, one of them is a jap only game on ducsktation compatibility report.
>>566504923So according to your account, you've conducted a rigorous testing of plentitude of games on Beetle-PSX, found numerous inaccuracies (against duckstation or real hardware, hasn't been specified), opened no issues, documented nothing, then went to 4chan to warn people of its shoddy performance, providing no specifics? Am I understanding you correctly now?
>>566505838Perfect, leave it like that. Games are cinematic experiences, they're supposed to be watched, not played. Holding a controller instead of popcorn or a soft drink will only ruin the pleasure.
>>566505191You keep moving the goalpost for some reason?I only countered your claim that beetle psx is the same as standalone mednafen.After that you focused on everything except that and thus proved my point.And no, i don't need to play EVERY single game in the library to tell that beetle psx is shit since stuff listed in the beetle forum doesn't work properly.If your amazing fork emulator can't handle what the original can, what is the fucking point?
>>566506232I'm not moving anything, I'm merely trying to gauge the amount of heartache Danny caused you to be making up shit on the spot about things you have no idea about simply because you have strong emotional feelings towards a piece of software.
>>566506443>I'm not moving anything"Beetle psx is the same as mednafen."I tested games and stuff that works on standalone doesn't work in beetle psx."So what if some games games don't work, did you test every single game, why didn't you document those discoveries,etc..."LIterally moving the goalpost into another city.>making up shit on the spot Try roswell or any other game listed in the mednafen forum and you will see that i am right. I know you won't. Or you are going to outright lie and everything is perfect.
>>566506771>"Beetle psx is the same as mednafen."I would never have said that, beetle-psx is much better than mednafen standalone.>I tested games and stuff that works on standalone doesn't work in beetle psx.so you personally confirmed that roswell conspiracies has missing music on the latest beetle-psx? anything else to report?
>>566507282>I would never have said that, beetle-psx is much better than mednafen standalone.That makes the claim even worse.>so you personally confirmed that roswell conspiracies has missing music on the latest beetle-psx? Yup.And the speech cuts of during some messages.>anything else to report?Since you care so much about retroarch stuff, you should do the honors and report any other bugs.That is, if you actually play games.
Less fightingMore emulighting
>>566507721Yes I do play games, just not Roswell Conspiracies on the PS1 so I cannot confirm or deny your claim and I'm sure as hell not staining my sdd with bytes of that shit
>>566491905>woke up after a bitso... would this issue be fixed in beetle?I tried beetle HW after beetle seemed to be failing and I don't know if it's not as good as the other one or if it has disadvantages for what I currently want.
>>566479214It's not that much work, and it's a lot better than nothing, and Interpreter's an okay alternative if you're this retarded. Or, you could just not play the game, wait for some troon who likes your game to go on an adderall bender, or spend years learning a notoriously difficult second language for the dumbest reasons. This is what you get for teaching someone how to fish... how about you fuck yourself?
>>566508582>It's not that much workBullshit. Hook mode is useless for anything emulated related. OCR mode is 50/50 in terms of getting stuff and getting menus translated is just a nightmare. Oh, and the translation is making shit up as usual until you do multiple ocr catches.>troon I HATE TROONS SO I AM GOING TO SHILL FOR AI THAT THE TROON IS GOING TO USE ANYWAY.Seriously, this ai bullshit gets you nothing. You have to waste time just to get something passable instead of playing the game.
>>566509394Deranged. It's not going away. Did you shit your pants when search engines came around? The steam engine? Electricity? Or hell, LLMs or other algos by another name before heckin nazi Elon Musk started using it and threatening your disgusting "content" creating friends? Anyway, just don't play it. Fuck you.
>>566509784>It's not going awayNever said that. Of course is not going away. But not because it is better but because it is cheaper and quicker.>Did you shit your pants when search engines came around? The steam engine? Electricity? Or hell, LLMs or other algos by another name before heckin nazi Elon Musk started using it and threatening your disgusting "content" creating friends?Ah yes, a typical AI user that is perfectly normal and not deranged.Jesus, your people are batshit insane.
>>566491905I am so sorry you had to deal with hours of pedantic "my autistic way of doing it's better" bullshit instead of simply being told you have to turn texture filtering off in the core settings and shaders/filters off in Retroarch to fix those issues.
>>566510121I've gotten proper puzzle instructions/objective descriptions and the gist of what's going on in games using these tools. I've cross-referenced the results between official translations and other machine translators. If that's not "good enough" I don't know what is. WOMM faggot. I'm just trying to help people play more games. You can shid and fard all over it, but it's still better than nothing.
and yes obviously a proper baked in translation done by hand is better, but that's a lot of waiting for some faggot to get a wild hair up his mandress wearing ass or waiting for some corpo to decide the numbers work out.
>>566510843I hoped with ai, that people could vibe code baked in translations more easier instead of relying on a seperate program.Sigh, as usual, ai usage disappoints.
>>566511360That's absolutely been going on. You think the glut of translations we've gotten over the last few years haven't been machine assisted?
Just admit it. You got swept up in the latest safe rebellion. You're throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Obviously AI is a massive waste and mostly slop when it comes to art creation, but something like translation is the perfect job for it, and isn't nearly the waste of resources generative art is.
>>566512009>You got swept up in the latest safe rebellionConsidering anti ai is anti establishment it is not safe whatsoever.>Obviously AI is a massive waste and mostly slop when it comes to art creationIsn't it the only good thing? Human artists are expensive and lazy and ai replacing them removes a lot of barriers to some people.>like translation is the perfect job for iFor context heavy languages, it is a hit and miss most of the time. Remember, if it fucks up the context it goes along with it even if it's wrong for future lines. A human would be able to pick up when he made a mistake, an AI can't.
>>566509394>I HATE TROONS
>>566514357Do you really think machine translators don't have a dictionary or a database of common slang/phrases/euphemisms they reference to make things not so literal? I've seen several examples of this in practice. Get real, you contrarian faggot.>now I'm gonna pretend to be into generative art to be even more of an argumentative faggotGive me a fucking break. If my position was pro-slop you'd be tearing it down in an instant.
Look at that healthy green complexion. She looks like she brings love to the people of Springfield.

Just like everything you've always supported. The closest thing you've come to actual-edgy is Israel/Palestine, and you only came to that one because of your seething hatred for anything you perceive as white-on-brown.

>>566523310Because bugs killed my father? If the software engineers were thorough, then his plane wouldn't crashed.
>>566523650lol, when you're right, you're right
>>566522775Dictionaries/Databases are not context. If you think translating Japanese or any context heavy language is just matching words, then i understand why you think this is good enough.The screenshots of black matrix are the perfect example. They do match words found in a dictionary,shame they kinda miss the point of what is actually being said or have bare minimum context forcing you to read it like engrish and decipher the meaning.
I ordered a superstation one. I'm posting this here because fpga's are emulation.
>>566524653Even if that's the case, you can contextualize what it's trying to say yourself, and you still have better results than nothing.
>>566524653and what about Black Matrix? Is the AI not doing its job? The only arguable fuckup is her name, which was likely some weirdo nipponese attempt at an English word/name to begin with, and is hugely contentious. Even professional translators can't agree on Aeris vs Aerith, or Earth if we really want to get into it.
Man, you're right, if you exorcised the Blizzard part of Striker's brain out it would probably be the BSNES of Saturn.

In 2D content it often creates smears and seams like this, in 3D you can often see seams and breaks in tessellation you otherwise wouldn't without it. >enabled by defaultIt isn't. When you hit the default setting key in RA (spacebar by default) it goes back to nearest-neighbor.

>>566508194>>566491905>>566541759I installed beetle HW (not sure where this SW option is), and did this >>566510290 (it had JINC2 by default after installing the core, there's no OFF option so I left it to NEAREST). I'm not sure if this is how it should look (had to add a shader for it to look "better for me). But now it has sudden stutters on the audio (those weren't there on swanstation). I wonder if I should try to switch back to swanstation or if it's some configuration I should do.So... for now I don't know if I should go for the other beetle (without HW) or if this is actually "better".>>566541171Yes, I use it mostly on gba, gb,nes games, for the shaders, and the compatibility with my controller (other emulators don't let me use the settings from the controller, like save slots).
>>566559126Wonder if you're running ahead, using hard vsync, frame delay, how have the audio latency set too low. May want to try different APIs. The guy's shitting. Swanstation is generally the preferred PS1 core in RA. Beetle's HW/high res core is janky IMO, and you may as well use Swan if you want upresulation. If you want a pure, optimized, software experience just get the plain Beetle PSX core, that's the software version. It's best to have both just in case one or the other has issues, though.
Yeah, try Swan again, now that you know that the shaders and texture filtering were causing you problems. Especially if it was sounding better for you.
>>566559490>Wonder if you're running ahead, using hard vsync, frame delay, how have the audio latency set too low. May want to try different APIs.sorry, I'm not tech enough yet to understand this, which settings should I check to see this?

Not a bad game so far. Level design-wise, this is the most straightforward game I've played from a western dev. I'm glad it's not filled with extremely large mazes or tight corridors.
>>566559126>>566559719>>566559490well...I didn't manage to find these settings, so I just went back to swanstation and did this >>566510290 and also, found that for whatever reason it was set as 9x scale, when my screen is just 1080, so I set it as 5x and those strange scanlines also dissapeared. Thank you all for your help.Another thing I'd like to know is, which settings do I need to move to make my Final Fantasy 8 characters look like polygons? I think I saw someone doing this and the game looked pretty good on high resolution, instead of pixelated blobs.
>>566356467Your pic would make for funny bait on /vr/.
>>566579172Up the resolution, it work wonder for anything 3D. Also, activate PGXP, it will correct the native PSX faulty 3D.
>>566579172You just raise the rendering scale, simple as that. However, if you have any kind of taste at all you'll find the low rest 240p backgrounds and high res models to be tacky as fuck. What I instead suggest is render 8x or 4-8x and downsample (all from the swanstation core options). It'll still look a bit pixely, but it'll be less jagged and more cohesive overall. This combined with a CRT shader looks pretty good to me. However, I'm sure all you're really asking for is raising the res scale.
>>566580271my screen is supposed to be 1920x1080 wouldn't that mean anything bigger than 5x wouldn't be good?>>566580258>activate PGXPI'm going to search that option.
>>566580669The option is on that screenshoot of your, at the bottom.
>>566581445I activated it but I'm not sure what each option which popped up does (like the pixels one which goes from 0.5 to 10). I guess I'll do try and error to see if anything happens.

>no surround sound in Dusk>Dolphin/GC/Wii's surround tech is inherently half-assed Pro Logic crapCemu and resorting to LSFG to get it LOOKIN SMOOTH it is.
>>566641742It has spatial audio so who cares. are you playing it on a big Tv with a surround system?
>>566641742did they actually remaster the surround sound on WiiU? otherwise it's a meme
>>566642713Yes. Now that I have this stupid setup every 3D game that lacks it is hugely disappointing.
>>566642765Yes. I've tested it myself, a running stream behind Link or throwing a rock toward the camera is quite clearly coming from the rear speakers. Through Dolphin/Pro Logic, it also works, but it has a lower fidelity to it.
>>566642927that's cool, considering the level of autism that went into Dusk you could try asking them if they could port the surround sound from that version.

UIX Desktop/Theseus is adding retroarch supportit's still a little buggy, but it looks like if you want an Xbox Launcher on your pc, this is a killer app for your retro games.It has a customizable skin and now features steam/retroarch importing.you can grab it here: https://github.com/MrMilenko/Theseus/releasesit also works on the original xbox and can attach to xemu. they're currently working on trying to get the launcher to work on xbox 360 and might have a Blades dashboard sooni can't reccomend this app enough.
>>566648138Never got the whole "opening files with extra, prettier steps" thing. I'd rather just search using Everything and drag files into what I need or open it right from there with a direct association.Pro-tip: when you have 'sharts open, you can drag a rom file into it and it'll prompt you to select a compatible core.
>>566648138I’ve never understood the appeal of frontends that merely simulate (not emulate) a console’s dashboard; it feels pretty lame to me. Why not just emulate the actual dashboard directly? Emulators like Xemu, Xenia Canary/Edge, PCSX2, Azahar, Eden, Flycast, MelonDS DS (and more) are already capable of emulation/booting dashboards and home menus, and most even support 'insert disc/cartridge' functionality.If you need a launcher for organizing your ROMs/Mags/Discs and shiet with scrapper, just use a proper frontend like Launchbox, ES-DE, or the emulator's native Qt interface. What’s the point of using a skin that just mimics the look of a dashboard when you can have the real thing at this point?
>>566651679too much soul in one pic, stop it

>>566656673Only the retro machines, and it would only be bad if it didn't make all those machines better with the features listed here. >>566558863The standalone versions are also still very much alive so I don't get your paranoid take on this. I also think "peak" Retroarch has kinda come and gone. I think we're seeing a return to standalone emulators and RA has gotten about as good as it's going to get.
>>566558295RA has some nice features that plenty of standalone emulators lack. I've been fiddling around with the netplay features recently and it makes it very simple to connect with friends over the internet for example. My personal grievance with it is the absolute headache of a UI that you have to deal with. Some emulators on android are even worse than retroarch so I keep having to deal with two different options of really shitty tradeoffs and having to wrestle my way through the clunky interface
>>566577645How did you get it to look that bad?
>>566660163It's a combination of bandlimit-pixel and ntsc-blastem. Western games are dithered to hell and back, so a composite shader is a must.

Dusk is cool but I have a real question:does it add hard mod support like SoH did? Like can the Midna sex mod actually become a thing
>>566656673the thing i like most about retroarch is the pause button. xenia doesn't have a pause emulation button. you have to run a hotkey script to force pause the animation by suspending the process entirely, but it's very annoying to work with.>>566664583my problem with dusk is no english language support.

why would i play those decompilations or whatever over just emulating the games?
>>566674310unlocks frameratesmb at 240hz is pretty cool
>>566674310Decomps are less limited in terms of modding, and if done correctly also take less power to run and have less lag as well since they don't have to deal with the overhead of emulating an entire console. Probably not the best option if you want a purist experience, though.
Wicked cool!
>>566661164Marginally, and it buffs out with PGXP. I'm sure there's a few slightly bigger textures or an extra particle or two because it has more RAM, though.
>>566663591My ass. That doesn't account for Android's notoriously shitty baked in display lag, and I doubt most phones have a bluetooth/HID stack efficient enough to get that theoretically low lag. Post Kirby Super Star samurai minigame score.

>>566700765Both Playnite and ES-DE are strictly frontends. They do not come with built-in emulators. Instead, they act as a "command center" that sends a signal to open the standalone emulators you already have installed on your computHere is how they handle your standalone emulators:Playnite (The "Manual Linker")Playnite is designed to be very flexible with standalone apps. How it works: You point Playnite to your emulator’s .exe file (e.g., pcsx2.exe or dolphin.exe). Customization: You can provide specific "Arguments" (command lines) to tell the emulator to start in fullscreen, use a specific save file, or even exit when you press a certain button on your controller. Automatic Detection: It has a built-in "Configure Emulators" tool that can scan your PC and automatically set up profiles for most popular standalone emulators. ES-DE (The "Folder Watcher")ES-DE expects things to be in a very specific order to keep things clean. How it works: It uses a configuration file that has "pre-written" instructions for almost every major standalone emulator. Ease of Use: If you have a standalone emulator installed in its default location or added to your system's path, ES-DE usually "just knows" how to launch it without you typing any code. Alternative Emulators: If you have multiple emulators for one system (e.g., both DuckStation and SwanStation for PS1), you can simply toggle between them in the ES-DE menu. Which should you choose based on this? Choose Playnite if you have your emulators scattered across different folders or drives and want to manually link them exactly how you like. Choose ES-DE if you are willing to move your files into the specific folders it asks for in exchange for a setup that feels more automated and "console-like."Since you'll be managing standalone emulators yourself, do you already have a preferred folder where you keep all your .exe files, or are you starting from scratch?
>>566700765Use ES-DE or the emulator's built-in frontend. Use LaunchBox if you're on Windows and want to run scripts before launching each emulator.>>566700630>>566702317>pedophilesNTA, but that term is intentionally used by globalist libs for cultural imperialism. There are only predator perverts out there who are into vile stuff. Teenager marriage has been the norm throughout all of human history.

That's why the pendulum swings but the outcome is always the same: you and your people get fucked for another decade (again and again)...We don't need another "based" moderate. We need actual radicals willing to burn the establishment down. A lot of people thought 2016 Trump was that guy. But he was always a moderate pro-market, capitalist, economically liberal with a "right-wing" aesthetic.https://youtu.be/Wex0ThEM0ag>>566761368Yeah, I'm confused too. I don't really understand their approach with that PR/draft. As far as I remember, the original plan was to emulate the Vita's actual dashboard, but that PR got closed. Instead, they focused on simulating it through Vita3K's own interface, which looked horrible until this one. I hope they go with this route, even though Qt isn't the best choice.

At least I provided the receipts for my faggot Mister running things nothing else would. Come on. Cough it up.
>>566842256Changing API from Vulkan to OGL or vice versa, running at 1x scale. If that doesn't work you're fucked, kiddo.

>>566844730Is this what the Portuguese envisioned?

>>566844730It's funny how the thirdie brain just can't understand aspect ratio. If you had a gun to his head and told him to point out the problem with his image it would end like one of the many videos from his country.

>>566842256>ayyy gpuConsider loonix. The troons are working overtime on AMD drivers and the optimization is superior to what you get in Winblows. Just don't be Israeli or Russian, or live in a state where your unelected government might piss off faggots. You never know what might happen.

>>566847926>>566765649I have to be fair though, Israel was doing this sort of shit way before rainbow-socks were.
>>566844730huehuehuehue
>>566841447All of them.>>566842256Nothing you can do. Xemu is shit and if the game has substandard performance, it will not be fixed.
>>566848764I wonder which of your ancestors looked at an abbo and decided "yeah, I can bang this"
>>566842256This game WOMM @ full speed, I even posted it as OP once, but I have a modern Nvidia card. Just try a different API. Vulkan and OGL are known to have a performance gulf on AMD + Windows. Don't listen to bitter NEET schizophrenics and simply give up.
>>566851896>Don't listen to bitter NEET schizophrenics and simply give upDon't listen to xemu/xenia fanboys. Give up when dealing with these these shit emulators.Something else won't work minus performance and you are gonna be annoyed.>>566849407The problem when telling an AI to make you an insult is that it it is not very good at doing that.
>>566854752You're no better than the nigger who licks the ice cream and puts it back in the store freezer. No wonder some people just move to cabins to deal with as few people as possible. These aren't good emulators, but they are functional enough to try, especially on a game I know is capable of working fine such as DOAXVB. Go report another dithering 'issue' you good for nothing pest.
>>566847359R5 5600XRadeon 6800>>566851896Gonna try on linux then to se it improves.
>>566856964Which part do you jerk off to more, the glitch or the woman being restrained?
>>566855568>You're no better than the nigger who licks the ice cream and puts it back in the store freezer. No wonder some people just move to cabins to deal with as few people as possible.Speaking from personal experience?>dithering 'issue'Let's see the current officially listed issues.Performance and slowdown leading to a crash. Yeah, dithering is the the only xemu issue.Go shill some other shit emulator.
yesterday i finished programming my BYOND script that can grab all games from all your emulators and put them into UIX Desktop/Theseus, the new Xbox Original Dashboard launcher for Windows/Linux/MacOs.unfortunately my script only works for windows right now.pic related is the app. i plan on releasing the source code for it and maybe someone out there can port it to linux, i dunno.
>>566865905why are the directories forward slashes and not back slashes
