>>567672463>Fermi Aerial FortressWait until Hard Mode and you'll hate this things. Yes, plural.
>>567675854I'm already on hard mode, the difference is staggering, it's like a different game for some of the missions.Right now i'm prospecting changes on the build to face the new challenges.AC is peak, what a series.
Been playing earthbound on SNES9xGX on my gamecube, are there any cheats that crank drop rates up to 100%? I want to get the sword of kings without completely obliterating the game balance by overleveling, but all the cheat code pages I've seen are stuff like level 99 on everyone, infinite money infinite hp etc etc.

PCSX2 standalone's PGS is more performant here. There's some sound chop in sharts, but it sounds and plays perfectly in PCSX2.
Let me tell you what my CPU *can't* do, though. This game in software mode.
Hmm, PCSX2 Maister edition doesn't seem to let me supersample PGS. Wonder if disqualifies my card or the feature's broken.
Okay, had some RA settings wrong. Now it's runnin' good. 2X SSAA (high res or 4x is way too heavy on this rig) + ScaleFX shader.
I dunno Alienware simp, maybe you should install Gentoo. I've heard AMD drivers are just better here, though, so I can't guarantee the same performance. PGS may just prefer AMD on the low end too, I just don't know. My only NV card is a 4070 on my main rig and that's no comparison at all.
I'm always amazed at how you people can optimize hardware builds here. I can't into computers very much, so I stagnate in basic Linux distros. Can I do some optimization even in those?
Where do I get steam/pcgames? So many good 2d action games that I'll never afford.

RPCS3 - Chronicles of Riddick Dark AthenaSection where you control drones has a visual issue where you cant see, and its required to progress. Basically what this guy said, but looks like some mod or somrthing closed this issue because he didnt format the post exactly the way they wantedhttps://github.com/RPCS3/rpcs3/issues/15347If it cant fixed Ill try to find a save point past this section I guess, but I dont know how many of these sections are mandatory in the game.
>>567693001Any reason you'd play that version instead of the PC version? Just testing the emulation? Anything special about the PS3 version?
>>567697364Xenia version doesnt work at all, games not listed on any store.I did try the abandonware file first and it crashed on launch.After I posted this I reinstalled the pc one and found a fix on a reddit post. Found a 100% save to skip to where I was, so all is good now.Still I wonder why the mods just shit down that issue post wihout a fix

I'm a lazy self entitled borderline retard with narcissistic tendencies and a degree from a questionable university. Can I start an emulation project and get money?
Is Kenji-NX or Ryubing the better emulator?I tried Ryubing but I got some error that says my comp doesn't support CET which apparently only one other person has had an issue with which he never solved.On the other hand, Kenji-NX hasn't had a release in 7 months although he appears to still be working on it and has a CLR assert failure too.What's up with these new emus? Ryujinx works just fine. What did they add to cause these issues?
>>567698980Scholars will debate on how you came to the conclusion Matt = Stenzek, or why you pinned his stank on him, decades after the three of us are dead. I'm still glad you told us about the man, the legend, though. What's he on about these days? AI? He's a translator and made basically useless by it. I'm sure he has a thing or two to say.
>>567699774Interesting that your first thought was Matt when I could have been describing half the malignant nutbags in this scene.
>>567693001Just play pirated gog versions with fixes from pcgaming.RPCS3 IS A PIECE OF SHIT.>post exactly the way they wantedNah, they don't fix bugs. They just look at the log and change random shit that the log is erroring hoping to fix it. And if elad and his friends don't even own the same hardware, they don't even bother.

Recently got a new PC and was looking to emulate Switch games again and then I suddenly remembered a weird bug with Ryujinx / RyubingWhenever Ryujinx/Ryubing opened and the terminal? popped up, if I clicked on other windows, it would disappear (The window wasn't closed but I couldn't access it)Yuzu and Yuzu-forks never had that issue for me so has that been fixed on Ryujinx forks yet?It legit sounds fake but it accidentally happened to me like a year ago but when I tried looking it up online nothing came up

You know what. With recent improvements to beetle saturn, some chink handhelds that were previously unable to play Saturn, may actually be able to now. Like ARC-D.
>>567733858I wouldn't hold my breath on it unless you've benchmarked CPU usage between pre-Claude Beetle and post-Claude. I somehow doubt there's a big difference in performance.
>>567734306>unless you've benchmarked CPU usage betweenI did, about 25-50% diff depending on the game>Claude surely you mean post-pstef, he was the one who did all the work

what's the best ways to emulate lightgun games?im finally coming around to play house of the dead and other lightgun games that have been rotting in my backlog for nearly a decade
>>567786641On a flat panel: Get a Sinden or if you hate yourself look into putting together a GUN4IR or buy one someone else made at a huge markup. You could really cheap out and use a Wiimote + wiimote-to-mouse software but meh, if you can't sight-aim without a crosshair it's hardly a lightgun IMO.On a CRT: From my experience a Guncon 2 knockoff hasn't worked so well on a mister, may get a SNAC + Guncon 1 or real 2 at some point and see how that goes. Guncon 2 has PC drivers but they are very janky last I fucked around with it. Not-really-emulation: Get a PS2, mod it, and get a Guncon 2. That covers most of the best lightgun games ever made. Virtua Cop, Time Crisis, Point Blank series, Lethal Enforcers (has a hack for Guncon) and more.

You get this when you update info files in Retroarch.

>>567789018>sinden, GUN4IR too expensive>wiimotebetter option but still round about and im not sure if its gonna be a good experinceidk i thought at this point people wouldve figured out something better
rated E for everyone
>>567871508Nah man guns on PC kinda blow, even the expensive options are an exercise in tedious calibration. Honestly, just get a pee-ass 2, CRT, and pirate all the games. It's by far the best experience.
>>567871508>not sure it's gonna be a good experienceit's middleground and aight if you already own the stuff beforehand, but the PC doesn't have the cursor anti-shake that the Wii/Dolphin use
>>567871929[cont]of note on PS1-on-PS2, you'll need CDRs and combined with some soft-mod method. There's no way to boot PS1 games from the network or local storage as is that works with lightgun games. POPStarter is not compatible.
>>567872119i have a vr headset in a box somewhere and i know there is a way to emulate light gun games perfectly with it but its kinda annoying to put a headset just to play a game on a 2d screen
>>567872593at that point you may as well play the shooting gallery games meant for VR. Konami should make a new Police 911 game on it.
>>567871886Throw that back in the Ganges, would ya?
>>567872119I'm sure at least one of the Wiimote drivers/apps out there have options to smooth that out... right?
>1065G7 + iGPUNo wonder you had so many issues with Xemu. Upgrade, you stinky NEET.
lmfao, how Striker doesn't just hush you and say "that's just not how it works, you prima donna schizo" I don't know. He's clearly trying to make it accurate first and Android isn't the problem here. It's not remotely as a fast as SSF, even, and you'd just bitch about it not running well on your $50 laptop if he made it a hyper-accurate interpreter.
>>567879548If bro want his "play only popular games whatever it take" emulator, he just need to check the wiki page, SSF, Yabause, Kronos, whatever, they are all here just for him.
>>567873479look into Lichtknarre, a marvel of german engineering
Patience of a saint, Striker has. The way you conduct yourself would get you a swirly and your head kicked through the bowl from a contractor half as tolerant, and that's if you were paying him. Let alone someone who's doing all this work for free for you. Only child living at home in his 30s behavior.

How do i fix this ghosting/flickering effect in the environment for Rogue Galaxy? I can't find anything online.
>>567915889i dont know it looks like shitbunch of weird colors like yellowish
>>567917175First, try software mode. If the issue is absent, then it's gsdx screewing up. Next step, try gsdx, but in native res. If the issue is absent, great, you got upscaling bug. Then, try to fiddle with the options or open an issue on the github. May also be an interlacing problem, so try fiddle with that too.
>>567917409Merging sprites on upscaling fixes tab fixed it, thank you. Gonna tinker a bit more.
>>567918858That fixe is not the Gameindex.yaml, so, that would be worth a micro pull request to add it.
>>567919474How can i contribute?
>>567919569Open a pull request on the github and explain the bug (your ghosting/flickering) and how you fixed it. Add some screenshoot too.
>>567917347You look like shit.
>>567917347Got some screenshoot?
>>567920026Will do. Hopefully i don't need an account.
>>567920252nevermind it looks fine nowi dont know what it wasshould i disable scaled dithering if i enable true color rendering?
>>567920585Yes, absolutely. In duckstation they are bundled on the same dropdown menu because they are the same option. Scaled just scale the dithering when on hi-res, while true color get ride of it entirely. Having them separate is retroarch retardation.
suckstation
>>567915503Yeah, agreed. It's very speculative, but I think it's something with how it makes draw calls from the CPU to the GPU in this game. I think somehow it's even *worse* and heavier on Nvidia, as my much better CPU and NV GPU somehow can't outperform Xemu in Troonix on an old i5 + 7800 HD. The emu's definitely doing something suboptimally and wrong here. I am tempted to install Arch on my AMD mini though, as it's about 2-3x better than that machine in every way, and AMD seems to thrive in troonux land.
>>567928092I like how you bring up how good its QT implementation is to StrikerX3 in an effort to get him to change from imgui to it.
>>567929037
mgba libretro core or standalone?
>>567920585Put the dithering back you idiot. Silent hill is supposed to look grainy and grungy as shit. If you even turn on geometry correction it changes the look of the snow. Silent Hill is the one ps1 game that is meant to look bad.
>>567930831I'm a standalone man myself.
>>567929305fsr 1, the thing some people swore was better than DLSS back in 2021
>>567936530lmao, FSR1 is FXAA tier. It's some absolute special ed shit compared to what DLSS was doing. At least 2 and onward uses motion vectors, even though the results are still inferior. Hate to say Nyidya tech is better but it is what it is.
>>567928234>he emu's definitely doing something suboptimally and wrong here.Welcome to xemu. Regardless of what the shills here say, this is the actual state of the emulator.
so what's the state of switch emulation?
>>567934348yeah but all that dithering was for the TVs of that timeim playing it on a shitty laptopthe dithering is too muchmaybe with scaled dithering?

>>567967940How does a PSP emulator have almost 10,000 issues?
>>567936530Wasn't FSR1 supposed to be used with originally higher-resolution content? Like, from 1440p to 4K? I've tried it on emulators and the source resolution is way too low to be useful. You'd be bettter off with traditional interpolation shaders.

>>567975570RetroArch has them in the main repository, it comes packed with the executable. Look for bezel > koko-aio. They're much lighter than Mega Bezel, and there are versions with and without the handheld overlay.
>>567960743Can you reword that in a less word salady way, please? What? Either way FSR1 was a post process blur that was barely smarter than FXAA, and DLSS actually used in engine motion vectors and reconstructed the image to something perceptibly higher definition, even in the early days. It still does the job better than AMD to anyone with eyes to see. How am I wrong?

HOLY KINO
>>568017284A composite cable plugged into a standard-definition CRT doesn't have modern color depth, sharpness, or pixel structure. The dithering you see from an emulator's raw framebuffer isn't 'realistic', you shouldn't be seeing it on your display like that at all.

>>568017579Can't believe you've went trough nearly every game in the AC series so far. Impressive, most impressive!
>>567920585Update your duckstation, and no, keep using DuckStation's default settings.And use duckstation postprocessing-builtin ntsc shader with psx border overlay.
>>568037852are you talking bout ntsc-adaptive-lite?
>>568037852You can just drop all the RA slang shader into Duckstation too now.
>>568021829Even with games without TAA or TAA disabled DLSS 1080-to-4K is perceptibly much sharper and pleasing to the eye than a native 1080p image. Same with FSR2-4. It just doesn't do the job as well. Well, I haven't looked at FSR4 vs DLSS, but the last I looked at FSR3 it had far more unpleasant artifacts. You sound like you just don't want to give corpos a W for their proprietary tech, which is understandable, but if it works it works. Are you going to say the more open FSR2-4 is any better, because it's just another motion vector algo. XeSS, DLSS, and FSR2+ are interchangeable with DLL drop, in fact.
>>568029997He's just seething moron. My money is on him being the guy who doubts my PGS Linux results and/or the QEMU simp. Maybe the retard comparing Galaxy surface textures to 8bit tile patterns. Very similar energy. I'm sure I hit a few battleships there.
>>568029997>>568042691can dlaa be activated without dlss? there you go. its all that trash dlss is. it removes taa for its proprietary trash.
>>567948210Which shader is that?
>>568043659Regardless, it goes brr and looks nicer than setting your game to 720-1080p, and much better than TAA, FXAA, or any god awful post-processed upscaling pass. Thoughts on FSR2+ vs DLSS?

>>568056264>What did they add to cause these issues?I have zero proof, but I suspect it was either agentic coding or malware, or both. I was a big Ryujinx user and I'm pretty hesitant to trust these new ones popping up.

I have zero faith in Azahar devs being able to fix it. I'd rather wait for panda3DS to mature or better yet, 3beans.
>>568067990Tanuki's maturing really fast, it might be worth checking out.
That nigga Pablo is a spanish cuck, why he named the bitchass fork after a muslim flower? I bet this mofo pays to watch her sister getting drilled by a marocain invader ffs
>>568066084>https://github.com/azahar-emu/azahar/issues/1615The devs responded chud:"Just so everybody knows, we the azahar devs have been doing some investigation into this but have yet to identify any clear single place where input latency is happening. It is likely a combination of many factors in the rendering pipeline. It is something we will continue to investigate but it's definitely not going to be an easy one shot fix (probably, anyway). If anybody is an expert in 3ds emulation / rendering and wants to dig in we would welcome the help!".Make a shitty fork of a emulator, beg people to fix your issues. The humiliation conga line of 7th+gen never ends.

k, boot9 and boot11 are widely available, now where the fuck is nand.binI scoured the internet and found nothing, because apparently no other emulator prior to 3beans required it

Star Wars The Clone Wars Jedi Alliance (NDS)This game boots to the main menu fine on melonDS, but starting the game goes to a black screen.Googling gets some results suggesting anti piracy stuff causing it, but there are no solutions given that I can find.

Rhythm heaven megamix is 1 frame of lag in Panda3DS and 4 fucking frames in AzaharIt's unplayable in panda because it can't render for shit and it's unplayable in Azahar because it lags to shitbasically this game is unplayable on anything but a 3DS
>>568092575Then build your fork chuddie
emugen wiki should be edited out with none of the 3DS emulators being recommendedhow can you in clear conscience recommend an emu that adds 3 frames of lag on top of real hardware for fucks sake

Is anyone actually resulating on these alpha-state emerging 3DS emus? If so, what have you played to the end, and was the sound/speed/graphical accuracy intact?

>>568105119>Closed with unmerged commits
>>568070106Why Eden? Isn't that based on Yuzu and thus inherently more inaccurate? I used to use Ryujinx specifically because it was more accurate and had better compatability.My computer is beefy enough to handle the extra requirements.
If I share my Microsoft account credentials, could you guys dump the files from your Xbox 360 and share them with me?We actually need to build some kind of website and request system to handle this automatically in the future, and then provide the link in the Emugen Wiki's BIOS section or something.
>>568106012>hitchjinxCan't beef your way through that. Though yes, Ryujinx is generally the better emulator.
>>568106012Use OG Ryujinx. If it didn't work, then try the forks, exclude linux compile bug of course. Then, try Eden or Citron Neo for the Yuzu branch.

>>568155997I can understand not wanting to give Nvidia an inch for proprietary tech and many other bad practices and how they've shat up the market, but it's simply the better upscaler. He can cope, seethe, and dial 8 all he wants, but it's still true. One can and maybe should refuse to buy it regardless, but it is what it is.
I have to say though, FSR4 is at least getting there. It was a fizzly shitshow beforehand.
Sounds like FSR4 relies on cutting edge ayy hardware though, unless OptiScaler can get around that somehow.

Completed the Wile E. Coyote campaign, and it's extremely fun! I have yet to play the Roadrunner campaign, but I hear it's a Sonic clone. Outside of Little Mermaid, Blue Sky has made great games for the Genesis.
was the real story behind ryujinx ever known? did nintendo really threaten the guy?
>>568113031The last time I tried LRPS2 you couldn't beat the first level in Klonoa 2 because the green orb things don't show up in the right place. Retroarch also had a stroke when I tried taking a screenshot.
KEK! I've heard this was a Sonic clone, but I didn't think it'd be so literal. (Which I suppose makes sense, being fast and all.)
This was by far the easiest of both campaigns. I could easily see myself speedrunning this. (Wile E. Jumping out the window for Roadrunner's ending was also a funny touch.)

>>568134793>https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Shaders,_presets,_and_filters#SDTV_Experience_Presetbtw, if you have a 1440p or 4K monitor, you can still test it by just dropping your active display resolution down to 1080p.Video clips uploaded to Gofile, or any other platform would actually be ideal. I want to make sure the preset scales properly across different setups, emulators, and games. Some games on certain emulators have weird framebuffer outputs, I'm noticing this especially on Xemu, and PCSX2 with certain progressive-scan games. I'm not entirely sure why it's happening...
I’m not very knowledgeable about development, but I have a question. Why does the Saturn emulator rely on the CPU instead of the GPU? CUDA, ROCm, or OpenCL could potentially improve performance, right? Is it easier to work on the CPU because of the architectural complexity of the Saturn? I don't get it, emubros
>>568211880>Why does the Saturn emulator rely on the CPU instead of the GPUhttps://www.google.com/search?aep=11&udm=50&q=Why+does+the+Saturn+emulator+rely+on+the+CPU+instead+of+the+GPU&mstk=AUtExfCxX5Y0O4liNbpu4IBHuStDCCIXAyF1UgZJVJaa9nwf8Rzw1EtQnpRH_joqwMQ0qbvYKYj6QehW_OVXmNVXT7E0IHAuM8l8Yfn4g9XoqtnKUYS7S1cfPz47d4EC6WP5QBKNyfBao86CyKGtSfd3VnfVc1Y79ok68LADVqUcv2a06oHDuj3d96oPNgEleNGcRnwAyMsq3zdtwAdtSJ7X1tYsBFn7xoWOTaqFLtxlrBm8PuGz6HObQPhB8w&csuir=1
>>568211880The Saturn was the PS3 of the 90's, an absolute clusterfuck of an architecture with two cpu needing to be synchronize, weird quad based 3D rending, etc, etc... There were emulator doing HLE shit which allowed upscaling and shit, but, compatibility was not her. So software imposed itself as the way, for now at least.And if you ask why nobody decided to go compute shader... Because only the maister is competent enough to pull that shit and for now he work on the PS2.
>killzone 3 size is also 40 niggabytesbro wtf is wrong with the ps3, everything takes so much space, 360 games are only 8 gigswe need fucking torrents at this point

>>568114485Proofread your posts before hitting the 'post' button.
>>568201343That's because Beetle and Mednafen are *not* the same. The former is a hard fork of the latter; it adds a few features, which likely makes it heavier than its source.If your machine is struggling, stick to the lighter option. If you still want to use RetroArch, pick a lighter core, since Beetle is the heaviest of the bunch.

>>568220951nice
>>568217846i guess thats swanstationi assume pcsx-rearmed or whatever is called is the least accurate one
>>568255493Yes, and it's only really optimized for ARM devices, so you'd best disregard it unless you're on a handheld.
Do you guys here @ /emugen/ use actual real CRTs?
>>568257651Some may be, other may just LARP.
>>568257651No way. I absolutely cannot stand CRT whine. I'm so glad they've been completely eliminated from civilized society.
>>568167572Yes but it's worth it for DRC which standalones don't have. (Not to many all the other features).
>>568211880All emulators are CPU bound.Consoles didn't have an nvidia geforce or a readeon graphics card. You can't just run the code on your PC.
>>568213094>with two cpu needing to be synchronizeThere's about 8 CPU's all up that need to be synchronised in the saturn. The 2 main ones, then a bunch of other smaller ones on top of that.This is the cause of the infamous input lag in saturn emulation. It's actually in the original hardware as well.
Soukyuu Gurentai ST-V is only 1 frame of lag on MAMESaturn can be snappy at the hands of competent developers
>>568214031The space is taken up by audio. It's uncompressed.Uncompressed audio is approximately 10MB per minute, per channel.PS3 is in 5.1 stereo (possibly even more, like 8.1).But lets assume it's 5.1, so that's 5+1 ..... 6 channels of audio.1 hour of audio = 60 mins60 mins x 10MB per minute x 6 channels = 3600MB. Plus there are like 6 languages on the disc. 3.6GB x 6 languages = 21.6GB just for one hour of cutscene audio.

>>568260620Lies.STV games in MAME have the same amount of input lag as Saturn games in any every other emulator.
>>568261780You can test it yourself instead of posting bullshit on 4chan
>>568259684What possessed Sega to go with such an asinine design, I wonder? They were pretty much at the forefront of 3D hardware design at the arcades, weren't they? I know that doesn't always translate well to consoles, and the Model 2 was literally military-grade, but couldn't they have started with a massively cut down version of that and gone from there? Or was that not viable at the time and they were forced to go to the drawing board and start from scratch?
>>568262629Because the Sega boss meet the boss of the chips manufacturer that would end up in the Saturn at a golf. That literaly just that.
>>568257651>>568261652Chiming in with this guy. GroovyArcade -> Ayy 7870 HD card -> Analog DVI port + VGA dongle -> transcoder -> component -> splitter -> split off to a 15khz CRT and a 31khz VGA monitor rotated on its side for vert arcade games, depending on what I want to play. I have another splitter connected to a MiSTer. I use the PC a lot more to be honest, but I'd sooner recommend the MiSTer for CRT setups if 5th gen is all you care to bother with, and you only want early arcade games + Neo/CPS.

>>568262629I theorize that they made some massive deal with Hitachi in the mid 90s for their home machines and tried to make do with what they had. They could have just underestimated the competition, too. Maybe their arcade R&D was tying up too much of their hardware development budget. It's funny, they had the most powerful arcade hardware by far, but couldn't really scale down to properly compete in the home space at the time.
>>568264154>They could have just underestimated the competition, too.They were worried about the Jaguar of all fucking things. It's the reason the 32X even came to be.
>>568260831The gamecube was the cheapest during that gen...
>>568257651Yep. Love it. Emulate games on my wii with it for 240p.

are there any shaders that would look good on a low res screen like 1366x768
>>568268791no
>>568268791Look at whatever shaders handheld people use I guess.
>>568257651I fucking wish.
>>568268791Not really. The simpler the better at that resolution. Probably don't want to fuck with grilles and dot pitch simulation. Just some scanlines and maybe some geom and halation. CRT-geom maybe. I dunno man. RA lets you cycle through shaders via hotkey and you can tell it to remember the directory you're in. Just do that and cycle through them til you find one that isn't ass and let us know.
>>568268791find or tweak a shader that focuses more on the ntsc and signal blur than the scanlines. you can turn them off in some shaders.
>>568268791Blargg ntsc might be fine.
>>568268791>On sub-4K@120Hz SDR panels in the market lack the necessary pixel density, infinite contrast, and phosphor persistence to convincingly reproduce fine aperture grille/shadow mask details without introducing distracting Moire artifacts or over-sharpened "screen door" effects anyway.https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Shaders,_presets,_and_filters#Late_Analog_&_Early_HD_Eras_(SDTV,_EDTV_and_1080i)
>>568214031Does Killzone 3 use megatextures like Rage? Those can be massive, one map in WolfTNo is around 6GB, and I’m pretty sure the audio isn’t compressed.
>>568269946Yeah thats why everyone is telling him to avoid shaders that try to reproduce the mask fuckhead
>>568270140I fuckin lov3 u man
>>568266049That's the issue: I couldn't enter the 6th-gen until 2006. When I did, I chose the PS2 for easier piracy. Third-world and all, the same old story. Thank God for resulation, in multiple meanings.
>>568272681Fair enough.
>>568268791I'd suggest zfast-crt, crt-nobody or crt-consumer-1w-xl. All of them after some personal tweaks, as their default is not very good.
>>568273226im kinda clueless when it comes to these things but i think i like the look of the crt-consume-1w the bestfrom what i read on the wiki article linked, i dont want the curvature right
>>568277909Go into the shader parameters and change things to your liking. For that specific shader, you can remove or intensify the curvature, vignette effect, mask, scanlines, NTSC artifacts, signal clarity, color boosting and even the color profile. You'll probably achieve something you like.
Love that classic Doom atmosphere.

How the fuck do cheats work on Eden? I followed the official guide to the letter (https://git.eden-emu.dev/eden-emu/eden/src/branch/master/docs/user/UsingCheats.md) and none of the cheats work.I even went through the trouble of verifying the build ID via Ryujinx and checking the cheats were for the same ID. These exact cheats worked on Ryujinx but I can't figure out what's wrong on Eden.

>>568309682kek
>>568292995It's the original Doom release, running through the DosBox-Pure core on RetroArch, with the traditional VGA resolution (320x200 double scanned to 640x400). Shader used was crt-consumer-1w-ntsc-XL, tweaked.
>>568277909Not bad, but the curvature, scanlines, and chromatic aberration in that preset seem more focused on aesthetics: a bit too extreme in my opinion. Still, if you’re okay with that look (some people prefer aesthetics over “realism”), it doesn’t look bad.
>>568335680No soba today. We only mourn... :(
Saturn had the pug-fugliest fucking games.
>>568338932If any of the feculent shit piles calling themselves saturn emulators have upscaling I could see if that helps.
>>568340895lmao, Striker's being such a bro to you, be kind. Saturn ain't so simple in that regard because it's a pile of hacks stapled together to create 3D environments. A lot of games use a mode7 style 'floor' with sprites warped into different positions for models. Yabadabadoo and Kronos have upscaling but you'll find the results mixed. It will be that way when Striker adds it to Ymir too. It'll be super dependent on per-game hacks.
>>568342632I am. I haven't said a bad word about it because it's only been in development for a year. My contempt is for the rest that have had over a decade and are still shit.
>>568342632[cont] and to be honest PS1, while better in this regard, still has a lot of games that do unconventional 3D shit (CPU rendering, raycasting/BSP wolf/doom style graphics) and those are probably ones you've posted before and it otherwise had to come along way to work as well agnostically as it does. It's pretty remarkable just how well both Beetle and Swan's upresing works.
you're a fucking pleb if you upres psx/sat games
>>568348007I've come to this as well, mostly. Unless you downsample them with shaders, which is patrician
>>568348007Anything bellow Dreamcast is downsamling or nothing.
>>568350625nice enshittification zoomie retard
>>568350737Ssshhh, i'm 42, married with 3 kids little boy.Your buzzwords have no power here bitch.
>>568338932I simply embrace the way old games look. I like it.
>>568350928I think that your shader darkens it a bit doesn't help the cause too much, but the principle is solid.
>>568351806Old console games did not look like a perfect nearest neighbor/integer image on a flat panel display. The closest to that look was low res PC games on a VGA monitor, but there was still a bit of geometry, halation, phosphor decay, and faint scanlines. Consoles connected to a TV via composite simply looked far different from ciggy_hey_look_at_this_emu_bug.jpg
15khz artifacts and shitty cables did so much heavy lifting back in the day. Ever watch a VHS tape on a modern display?
>>568355619>Ever watch a VHS tape on a modern displayVHS is a whole other story, it's analog media, +you're dealing with decoding and all that other shit.
>>568350928I envy you sir. I hope you're doing okay. Bless you and your family. I pray the newer generations can still achieve what you have, but it feels like we’re already cooked.
>>568357558Well, it's not much better when you hook an old console up to a modern display either. >inb4 expensive memescalersWhat, just to get it looking like an emulator, or they might have some pleb-tier CRT shader built in? I don't see the point in having old consoles unless you're going whole-hog with the TV too.
>>568357885Not him, but you probably can do it, brother. Even I did... well, sorta. You just need three things:1. Learn how to handle money. Keeping a family has monetary cost, so you need proper financial intelligence.2. Find a woman with good character.3. Don't be an asshole.Everything else will fall into place eventually.
>>568359250
I like this game, has the same creativity of Earthworm Jim, and the same sloppy gameplay. But it's fun, and fairer.Plus, it's a bless to have save states and not need to finish it in one sitting. Viva la resulación!
>>568369392>appaloosa interactiveGreat taste.
>>568266049Dreamcast was.
>>568268791Yes plenty.Anything with some simple blurring and scanlines would work.The only thing that wouldn't work is things like mask emulation, and you can disable that in most shaders in the parameters in retroarch anyway.
>>568348007>>568348271it's not all black and white, it highly depends on the game and how retarded you go with the resolution and "muh gpt" texture scaling.

>>568374318No one wanted one so the price doesn't matter.
>>568348007This. 5th gen games are to be played native, with a shader if you want, but up-ressing them is not acceptable.
>>568369991Yeah they made that awesome contra game on the ps1 lmao>>568374808kek
>>568374469I still believe a faint mask helps a little, as long as it's simple enough. Grayscale fine aperture-like masks work decently, if not too strong. Although it depends if the shader implements them or not.
>>568374837Okay yeah. Radiant Silvergun. Princess Crown. And then what? A bunch of who-cares arcade ports we can just play on MAME now?
>>568374837I agree with him a lot of games looks like shitebut the PSX also looks like shit without pgpx, actually usually the wobbling on PSX is worse than on saturn.So he's retarded regardless but saturn is always a good punchbag.
>>568268791"shaders_slang/pixel-art-scaling/shaders/ControlledSharpness.slang""shaders_slang/crt/crt-effects/shaders/dotmask.slang"these are the two you need.just blur the image a bit, and add a light dotmask.
>>568376565Sega is a good punchbag. They got one good console (Megadrive), one mascot that triggered all the edgy autistic furry of the north american continent and then sodomised itself with sandpaper from the rest of its existence.
>>568377272>They got one good console (Dreamcast)fixed it for youGenesis has no gaems.
>>568377272Oceania's somehow the most loyal since they're the only region in the Anglosphere to ever receive the SG-1000.
Oh, another thing, a lot of Saturn's 2D prowess was wasted because of DKC and its consequences. So many games had awful pre-rendered Reboot-ass graphics.
>>568374837>You're one of these people born 5 to 10 years ago who know nothing about retrogaming besides what they say in some social media influencer video, you fired up an emulator and tried 2 games out for 15 minutes, wrote the system off, and took it to social media and forums to desperately seek validation. There, FTFY to cover the entire context, not just the Saturn.
>>568377538Saying that Genesis has no games and instead lauding the Dreamcast is peak contrarianism. You must be a very young lad.
>>568383343Name 20 games, retard. Sega went full slopware in the US for the console. It's just like the Saturn, really.As for the DC it really was stock full of great games so I have no idea what you're talking about unless you're that tasteless mfs who think arcade games sucks and don't count (nevermind the fact that the genesis's best games are all designed like arcade games)
This Gameoverse game is great!
>>568385532Pointless with people like you. I'll name double that, and you'll say: "lol that all sucks!!1 as i say "no gaems"! dreamcast much better amirite senpai? no cap!" Just for the record, the Dreamcast has great games, but not at a higher number. I won't entertain your retardation and contrarianism anymore. Sperg alone.

So this is an awful puzzle needless to say, but I think it's more interesting as a demonstration of low IQ gook thinking. Because if it was well designed, ie by white people, there'd be multiple ways to solve it because not everyone thinks the same. But there isn't because the bug mentality is "no everything has one answer and must be done one way" which is the soul crushing ant hive way they're taught in schools. No wonder they kill themselves at a geometric rate.

>>568442616Low TVL is better, at least for my taste. Probably none of us had pro CRTs back in the day, we mostly used consumer SDTVs, so low TVL is the way to go.Based Theimaster. He is always delivering and doing the right thing bro. I love that Aryan dude.
>>568443896What I'm saying is that it looks too low TVL even for a cheapo consumer TV. Also look at his PAL60 video at the end, scanlines make it look 240p, wtf
>>568444104Sorry, I'm still reading the blog, so I haven't gotten there yet. Let me finish it first, you might be right
First he says that scanlines aren't really visible on a 480i output, which is true, then proceeds to post screenshots and videos with visible scanlines like it's 240p. I'm honestly puzzled.
>>568442616oh shit, that's looks great, and he's smart for implementing hdr too, I tried to that myself for a while but was unsure of the results.I definitely want to try it but I dunno where his git is and I bet it's not compiled anyway.
>>568444802https://github.com/Arntzen-Software/parallel-gsbasically you need to be on arch to patch pcsx2 with itsasuga freetards
>>568444648>For interlaced video, we expect each individual field to have clearly visible scanlines, but the complete image (fused together by our brains) should not. The beam profile should be tuned as such. What most shaders do is for each scanline to take a gaussian distribution in the Y direction, sampled for the neighbor lines to cover the useful portion of the kernel.I guess he is referring to the interlacing flicker on 480i, which I previously mentioned here;https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Shaders,_presets,_and_filters#:~:text=those%20who%20wish%20to%20simulate%20the%20%22interlacing%20flicker%22%20(which%20is%20different%20than%20%22scanlines%22)%20of%20480i%20titles%20could%20use%20a%20flickering%20shader%20with%20variable%20strength.
>>568446983Each field in 480i will indeed have visible scanlines when paused in motion, but that's beside the point. He posts screenshots with de-interlacer on, and two videos at the end have visible scanlines too not unlike >>568396280
>>568447179Oh, I see it now. Yeah, he's also going down the CRT mask simulation path, which I think is another mistake. Most people are running 1080p, 1440p or 4K host resolutions, which aren't high enough for a proper 480 mask simulation.
>>568417106>on the other hand, this licensed western nickelodeon game cynically churned out for children is basically video game Citizen Kane
There's tons of bugs in PGS and I wish he fixed them instead, but oh well

>>568454769>toggleableShader parameters are a blessing. I remember when you had to accept the defaults or gtfo, because everything was hardcoded. Later, they'd let you change things by modifying the parameters on the shader file, and, later yet, directly on the frontend. That's when crt shaders really became viable to a wider audience.
>>568455424Well, the controls are shit out of the box, my personnal rebind is to put everything aiming related on the face button, motion and straffinf on the d-pad and boost and weapons on the trigger. After a slight ajustment time, you'll get the gig of it.If it still didn't click, I know there's true analog control patch for the games.

>>568442616I know nobody seems interested in merging PGS into main PCSX2, but I wonder if that CRT sim section is mergeable. There is also another PR currently open;https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/pull/14433if both of these somehow got merged, it would make PCSX2 the most capable emulator for CRT simulation among all sixth-gen emulators: Dolphin and Xemu have nothing that compares to it, other than ReShade compatibility.
>>568460624The thing is, PCSX2 is the emulator that needs these features the most, because the PS2 was the most CRT tricks-dependent system of that generation. Without simulating the signal, cable, or other analog/CRT aspects, the direct framebuffer output looks terrible. This is especially true because people constantly use the emulator to upscale resolution, which devs always warn will cause additional graphical glitches, +making sixth-gen 3D assets look like garbage.
>>568460624Step 1: Wait until this PR get merged properly.Step 2: Build PCSX2 with PGS using MSVS or loonix shit whateverStep 3: Enjoy
>>568460624TheMaister also made his own CRT-emulation shader for PGSHe wrote about it on his blog:https://themaister.net/blog/2026/05/09/emulating-old-junk-from-yesteryear-or-my-obsession-making-native-resolution-ps2-emulation-look-good/

Is there a fully portable, OS-stack-independent way to run a Linux VM on a Windows host?QEMU-KVM is great on Linux, but on Windows, I want to avoid WHPX entirely. Performance-wise, is QEMU TCG good enough just for running something like Ubuntu Server or Arch to compile code/building? Is there a container approach or something similar that is portable enough to run straight off an external drive across different machines? VirtualBox and VMware both require system-wide drivers and services, which kills portability. At this point, I'm completely tired of relying on janky scripts to manage VMs on Windows machines just for basic stuff.
>>568476391yup
>>568476391I wish kids still played doom.
>>568476807Instead of doing things the hardest possible way, are you sure you need QEMU-KVM to run the game you want properly?

>>568443896I've got a sony CRT. The TVL is far too fucking high and it's only a consumer set.It's so high it makes games look far too pixellated when i use it for emulation via component.I have to use a shader (GTU50) that enables me to lower the vertical signal bandwidth/increase the amount of vertical blur (effectively lowering the TVL) to make 240p games look good.
>>568442616The things people will do to get out of just using a CRT. Holy moly.
>>568494740CRT sucks, people want the good parts about it without the shitty parts.

If anything the actual father of libretro, almost perfect N64 RDP emulation, and increasingly almost perfect PS2 GS emulation should know what they are talking about.2. Too bad it's for PCSX2 only. 3. CRT emulation/simulation is a highly subjective affair and nobody should subscribe to either side of the matter, they should try what works better with the hardware they have available that better evokes the way they played their consoles in the CRT era. Consumer CRTs where anything but uniform.
>>568464934>We're in the enshittifaction hell.anon, you really have no idea how deep the shithole goes...AI factories are the new data centersNvidia is no longer talking about selling graphics processing units; it is talking about building “revenue-generating AI factories.” Today’s data centers, Huang argued, are constrained by power and capital, forcing operators to optimize for the lifetime cost of producing intelligence rather than the list price of a chip.“Customers do not buy GPUs,” he said. “They build AI factories, and the right economic metric is not the GPU’s purchase price. It is the lifetime cost of an AI factory producing intelligence, measured in terms of tokens per watt, tokens per dollar, uptime, utilization, time to production, software durability and asset life.

Want to replay some switch games.I haven't done switch emulation since ryujinx died. According to the readmes, the current forks for ryujinx and yuzu don't seem to increase performance in games, at best they seem to have qol features or maybe better compatibility with new games.Should I use one of the forks or just go with the latest version of ryujinx or yuzu?
>>568533448Go to last OG Ryujinx, especially if its for replay old games that would already worked back then. If it didn't work, try the forks. And if the forks doesn't or perfom like shit, try Eden or Citron-Neo (Yuzu's fork).
>>568535453Damn, sounds like a sad state of affairs if the forks are not an instant recommendation, although I imagined it by reading the readmes.But thanks for your reply, I'll do just that.
>>568489773> pressure sensitive buttonsThis is literally the ONLY thing it's missing. Otherwise it's better
>>568442616I'm a big hater of shaders that do this for the "pixels"Just some kind of blocks of RGB, when they're suppose to look like glowing little jewelsThere's a lot of shaders that already do it this way and it sucksBig respect to TheMaister though, in general
>>568541237If you don't need any of these controllers
>>568545018I uhhh, don't, but okay yes special controller support like the Densha De Go autism train controller that probably sells for like $800 import from Japan only, yes
>>568513093Probably because the makers are idiots.They refused to fix the input lag for years because, and they said this themselves, if they fixed it, it would increase system requirements and piss off cell phone users.
>>568509165we should all seek all people with nvidia gpus and burn them at the stake
>>568533448Eden added a lot of advanced accuracy options, good for compatibility, bad for performance, but theyre optional.Performance was never really an issue on my hardware, except for shader compilation but that never really fully goes away as long as people dont share a 'transferable shader cache' like you can do in Azahar
>>568547750>'transferable shader cache'https://github.com/azahar-emu/azahar/pull/1725
>>568547852>Transferability:>Shader cache files should be fully transferable between devices, drivers and Azahar versions, and only become incompatible if changes to the Vulkan renderer require more information to be saved in the cache. This may happen a few times as Azahar improves.>As described in the Objects section, some objects are not transferable because they rely on driver specific characteristics (this also includes the existing driver pipeline cache). When such situation happens, the cache will be re-generated at boot using the related transferable objects (which results in a longer boot time, but only once as the results from the regeneration will be stored and the old ones discarded).now if only people would share these caches.....

I know I'm stirring the hornet's nest here, but there's a couple of early Glide games that I couldn't get running well on 86Box, or at all, and I'm wondering if they work on QEMU-3dfx, but I can't currently be arsed to set it up. Anyone with such a set up fancy testing them? The games in question are:>Descent 2>SimCopter with the experimental Glide patch>CyberGladiator>MechWarrior 2
I'd like to see a segment on Game Center CX where Arino is challenged to beat a stage in a broken emulator. Rainbow vomit graphics, 3 frames a second, blaring audio etc. And then the guy next to him awkwardly explains how the dev live streamed his failed DIY gender change surgery and subsequent death.
>>568550991Stop being an idiot.>Descent 2Who told you to play the win version when you have the dos version available?>SimCopter with the experimental Glide patchWorks on modern windows with the patches from pcgaming wiki.>MechWarrior 2Emulate the dos version. Windows versions are pure buggy shit.
>>568552219I know they're playable on modern Windows through wrappers, native ports, or emulation of some sort. That is irrelevant. I just wanted to know if QEMU-3dfx had an edge on these games over 86Box. That's all. No need for hostility or name-calling.

>>568515629Yeah ofc you won't beat a real crt especially when it come to motion clarity with a simple shader unless you have a lot of brightness headroom. Among other details.Pulsar is quite close though and requires no shader though. And it's well worth using bfi regardless of the brightness hit anyway, I refuse to believe anyone real (aka not a shill/journo who only has MUH BRIGHTNESS as the only argument to sell more TVs) just maxout their brightness all the time for this to matter, not to mention, what's the point of having a bright but blurry picture?I still prefer the picture quality of my big ass oled with hardware strobing over my crt overall, that's for certain. And it's bright and clear enough.

what would be the best system to emulate Baroque on?
>>568577587I'd look up the differences between Sat and PSX because they are significant, and also weigh if upresing, and lag are important to you. Saturn emulation and perhaps the Saturn itself is kinda laggy, but the Beetle core seems to have the least lag of all of them and can run-ahead if your system can handle it. You can get higher res graphics out of the PS1 version if you care about that. You really have to decide for yourself based on all this.
>>568577424That's strange to me because PGS seems to thrive on even shitty AMD cards, and I was under the impression that open source AMD drivers are solid. Seems to be the case to me. What bugs? Maybe you're referring to AMD on Wayland?
>>568577859ok anon, thanks. i thought someone would just say ps2, but i'll keep all that in mind. probably gonna start with ps1 and go from there.

>>568579627No, but there's correlation. The picture I posted portrays the "Doronbo Gang", they're the original trio of a pretty female leader, a tech-savvy but awkward mechanic and a stupid but very strong hench. They've been very influential, and replicated to the extreme, either by homages, inspiration or straight ripoffs. The villain trio from Gunbird is based on them, and the premise inspired even Team Rocket from Pokémon.
>>568586231Also sounds like the bad guys from MegaMan Legends.
>>568577587From someone who played those games: original Saturn release is the best (there's an english patch). Couple it with analog 3D controller emulation for a smoother experience.I could elaborate further, but there's already a good source here: https://nervetower.neocities.org/lore5_versions
>>568586515Exactly! It's a fun trope, and usually executed well. Good possibilities of character dynamics between the trio.
>>568586728I knew it didn't make sense for it to run so well on ayy, or for someone so Linux-pilled to even use Nyidya.

That's fine for most games, but not all. I've used PCSX2 and RA in both Windows and Troonux, dude. It's not about that.
>>568598331>It's missing several controller featuresHow often do you utilize pressure sensitive buttons on a DS3 when playing PCSX2? fyi you can remap them to triggers in retroarch and they become analog. Good for racing games, not really suitable for mgs2/3 tho.>That's fine for most games, but not allany differences that might sprout in LRPS2 vs PCSX2 can only be due to better EE emulation in the latter, and it hasn't been touched in years, refraction and lightningterror are too retarded for EE and just work on gsdx, which is a null point for LRPS2 w/ pgsIn other words recent updates of pcsx2 do not elevate its combability vs lrps2 because they are not EE related

>>568634957>>568547293>just don't have the best upscaling in the industry, raytracing that actually works, and usable hardware encoding because corpo badI know, wanting to play new games as intended is cringe, but raytracing without NV's reconstruction looks like glitchy blown out asshole, nogaems support ayy's reconstruction yet, and FSR is still behind DLSS as much as you want to ree at proprietary things. Oh, and ayy wanted to lock FSR4 down to the latest hardware and only accidentally leaked it to be used on 'legacy' cards, so they aren't le wholesome chungus you think they are. Also, their cards aren't cheap enough to justify picking a Dr Thunder version of an Nvidia equivalent. The RT is only half-way usable on RDNA3, and all those cost as much as their NV counterparts. They are really only worth getting if you're building a "let me guess, you need more?" rig on the cheap.
and if you think AMD isn't fully throwing behind turning us all into batteries or killing us all once robots get good enough, webm related. Mama-san Lisa would grind you into compute cluster thermal paste without a second thought. If you are gonna get uptight because of a big corpo's practices and condemn people for their hardware choices, you might as well go Ted-pilled and find a nice cabin and throw all your electronics away. They're all scumbags.
>>568626046It would be nice if he just CI'd a Windows version. He knows, though. Just as Refagtion knows users would benefit from merging it and hence getting it CI'd and into actual human users' hands. We are in hell, though. So unless you want to do highly exclusionary nerd shit or trust anon builds, it's 'sharts or nothin at the moment.
and of course, as stated, 'sharts doesn't have any special controller support at all, and no one maintaining the core gives a fuck because it's been this way for years.
>>568602475>overclocked Saturn emulatorI'm still waiting for one of these. Fuck upresulation, half these games needs better performance more than anything. The closest to it is MAME's driver but it's shit. It must be hard to do and Saturn's plate-spinning multi CPU act must really depend on syncing them just so.

>>568643275HLE approachHandheld from 1866Duh
>>568640763It's three basic git command (Git clone, git checkout, git apply) and just installing the most basic version of MSVC. Then it just right click, and build the project. Then you just wait. One you had done it one or two times, you understand it's not rocket science. That old anon even made some "instruct for retard" to help bundled with his builds.
>>568616227>
>>568599130>>568602475It's not in English, for one thing.
>>568643709You still need MSVC bloating around on your system, and you still have to wait for it to compile each time you want MeesterMaister's latest updates. It's a pain in the ass and I'm tired of the apologetics. Yes it's possible, but fuck'em all anyway. I'd rather just use it in Linux honestly, and have.
Imagine using Windows and still having to compile shit. Jesus wept. The least that piece of shit can do is have executables ready to go for you.
>>568644125It's not like it was updated everyday, apart from his tv analog update recently, it didn't worked on it for months. Just get ride of MSVC once compiled.
>>568644542>uses turbonerd software>complains he has to do turbonerd things to use said turbonerd software
i really have to decrypt this shit man, better than a direct link download i guess
are there any other european version of ds games that are censored like pokemon platinum?sucks because i prefer european versions
>>568650594https://github.com/13xforever/ps3-disc-dumperGood old reliable.
>>568650965noice
>>568646146It's just not at all the precedent if using Winblows. At least in Linux I'm immersed in the autism and its designed around compiling shit. I dunno, somehow it makes sense to me. Wouldn't it just be nice if all the parties involved here weren't faggots, though?
>hundreds thousands of Windows programs every other developer will just compile for you because they aren't spiteful mutants>one offloaded to the user, GLHF :^)>oh, here's an Arch Linux version... what, you aren't using that? :^)>oh, you coulllld use it in Retroarch with all the controllers missing :^)
