>>573176421I can't have fun with Demon Front. I don't know how to explain. :(About blood in Metal Slug, you just enable it in the settings menu (if MVS) or use the japanese BIOS (if AES). Just do it once and you're all set.
>>573178134It's trivial on the NeoGeo ones. 6, though, there is no simple BIOS tweak. It's a fucking debug menu you have to access via rites to Moloch. Or you can mod the game or use someone's save file.
>>573178865Ah, sorry. Didn't realize you were talking about Metal Slug 6, my bad! I've never liked that one, I played it only a few times (in 2006, I think) when they released that Anthology collection. The design was all over the place, and it was clear the magic had waned off.On the other hand, although inferior to the original trilogy, Metal Slug 4 and 5 still had some fun moments overall. I've never felt the need to venture beyond those five first games. If there's something else worth in the series, please feel free to tell me.
>>573183830IIRC that Anthology had hellacious lag too

>>573210907That depends a lot on your hardware and on which graphics API the game uses. Non-snapdragon phones suck for PC emulation and Winlator's OpenGL support is barebones and many games don't work on it

>>573258072The AppImage worked on Troonux for me too. It's worked on every (reasonable) setup I've thrown at it. The only instance I gather it doesn't work is on Blackwell cards on new drivers.
>>573260910Lots of thing doesn't work on Blackwell card with the new drivers, ironic considering it supposed to be their top-of-the-line/flagship/newest product.
>>573261648Games and gamers are now an afterthought. They are compute cluster vendors now.
>>573242671Yeah I don't think it can be overstated how drastic of a change this is. I don't think a CPU powerful enough to run Polystars at full speed existed prior. If only those assclowns at 86box HQ could Claude up a faster x86 emulation.
>>573265530To be fair, though, Xemu doesn't emulate that hardware at nearly the reliability 86box say, a 486 or a Pentium II. GPU's clearly got some problems, and I'm sure the CPU is to blame for some issues too. I'd rather 86box do what it does, but optimize it further. I am confident that's possible.
>>573263721>If only those assclowns at 86box HQ could Claude up a faster x86 emulation.That would be insane. btw they actually have a PR open for VboxVGA right now (imagine that shit paired with DXVK);https://github.com/86Box/86Box/pull/6183Look at what Xemu managed to pull off with P3/GFX emulation (+getting "decent" performance) which is exactly what a late-9x/early-NT machine needs. Xemu proved the performance is doable if you stop counting every single clock cycle.Instead of trying to accurately model dozens of different boards, they should just clone the Xemu playbook (at least for that specific era) and standardize on one specific, optimized setup.
>>573265697>Xemu doesn't emulate that hardware at nearly the reliability 86boxYeah it doesn't, that’s exactly why I said "the Xemu playbook". My point is that we don't need the standard 86Box approach for these kinds of D3D8-era machines, just look at what virtualization (and xemu) can pull off. I know the 86Box devs don’t even prioritize D3D7 or Win9x stuff (pretty sure the lead dev explicitly stated he only gives a shit about 2D DOS stuff or something lke that), but the acceptable performance is absolutely possible. They just need to drop their strict, cycle-accurate principles for this specific tier. Like, why the hell not? Just pick one singular, standardized machine config for that era and optimize the hell out of it...

>>573259864>most things can be played in 4DO and Phoenix.That's good, thought there was some kind of blocker like the CDi's DVC.
>>573276192Nothing in particular as of yet admittedly, maybe I'm just overly worried whenever I boot up pcsx2 and rpcx3 I see updates every day and the social media updates from the rpcx3 team are constant enough to give me hopeJust happy rumble roses xx and test drive unlimited works on xenia, although I'm on an ace combat binge and hearing things about 6 having issues, I got that conker's bad fur day remake and dino crisis 3 on xemu fine but then I made the mistake of trying quake 4 on it and kinda got heart broken, I know a pc version of that exist but trying to get my asus rog ally x to actually control it was a pain and thought surely I could tolerate it (I did eventually get that working, the pc version that is, I was just being impatient)
>>573275294His name is Ahayri. Turkish.
What can my computer emulate?
>>573277113Nah it's not nearly as fucked as the CDi situation. I haven't gone through the library or anything, but loaded games, said "yep that's a 3DO game", and quit. Seemed okay.
>>573278929I've heard Japan treated the 3DO as another hentai machine, because of course they did.
>>573278547Up until PSX, maybe?
>>573278547>2011Fucking ouch! Maybe it'd be a good candidate to test Blastem's 32X core, since it's still going through optimization.
>>573278547If a MiSTer or Pi can outdo your PC, it's time to upgrade. Presuming this is just something you found somewhere and you aren't favelamaxxing this hard. Up to PS1, DOSbox and XP era PC games up to like Geforce 5 spec or so. You could probably run some shit in Project64 but yuck. Saturn is too heavy, I bet even SSF would struggle on 350 passmarks.

>>573189906High CPU usage under WindowsOn some Windows systems, the default audio driver causes very high CPU utilisation, even with no game actually running. Switching from WASAPI to SDL will resolve that issue on OpenGL video driver. If your video driver is Direct3D, switching to DirectSound audio driver should resolve any audio crackles and instability.

>>573326819How are you managing playable latency in a rhthym game? All the switch emulators are laggy as fuck.
>>573328036Works well enough for me in full screen/independent flip. There's also a "optimized" mod for the game that reduces input latency I suppose? I'm using it too. I'm passing songs anyway.
PadForge seems to have all the customization I could ever want. However, I wish there was some way to combine Xinput keys with keyboard keys, because my extra buttons aren't being recognized by RA.
>>573333225You can. I do that exact thing by creating a profile with a virtual KB/M controller as well as a virtual xinput controller.
>>573333225Actually macros are probably better than creating another virtual controller, now that I think of it. Both will work, though.
>>573334243>>573334679Thanks, I'll fuck around more with PadForge tomorrow! I'll have to do so anyway because RetroPad sucks and doesn't include C and Z buttons for Genesis/Saturn games.

>>573336127[samefag]Did some fucking around, PadForge works like a treat! Figured I'd end up using that as my DS4W replacement, since my Vader 5 Pro tends to be detected as multiple devices by default for some reason. (One as a generic "Xinput" device, and another that seems to have just the gyro and extra buttons.)
>>573369251I really like it, but it may or may not have Sony API issues in virtual DS4/5 mode. He's giving me the no-piracy :^) / WOMM special and quickly closing my tickets on it. Some games just refuse to detect the PadForge DS5 and to work around I have to whitelist these games and fall back to my real DS5 for them to get full glyph/gyro/adaptive support. He's giving me a line of shit about them needing SteamInput/Steam/the legit game but DS4Windows works fine with them. Maybe if more people bitch about it he won't be so dismissive, but I'm coping for now.
>>573370019Additionally, I don't know how the game's legitimacy (I could own it and could just be cracking to avoid Steam's overhead/DRM for my own reasons, or try it without Steam as he was blaming Steam before, but fuck you it doesn't matter anyway) matters when it works with a real DS5 as well as DS4W. Padforge is clearly the outlier and it the games require Steam filtering the input at all. I'm done fighting him, though.
>>573370959>the games require Steam filtering the input at all.Not for my Vader 5 Pro, though that could be because it's got Steam Input baked into its FW. (Which was likely how PadForge was able to detect my controller in its entirety in the first place.)
>>573370959>>573371093Bleh, stroked out on that sentence: Padforge is clearly the outlier and the games don't require Steam filtering the input at all to work, is what I meant to say.
>>573371236Ohh okay, then that's even better! (I don't got Steam installed either, the less bloatware the better.)
>>573371309Just don't ever let him know that if you come to him with a game you're trying to work in virtual Dualshock 4/5 mode (to get a game's native Playstation icons, gyro, and adaptive trigger support) It's so strange. He's very receptive to all sorts of minute and fringe app improvements and has been great about adding those quickly. He's been a real asshole about this Sony API issue, though.
>>573370019>no-piracy :^) I really hate this type of retard>don't touch the billion dollars company
>>573371804It is not at all about corpo sweeping, it's a lawful-evil sidestep for "this is a pain in the ass I'd rather not fix or even look into"
Uh oh, is StrikerX3 taking off ciggy's gimp suit?
>>573374275Ciggy only care about bugs, not 'features'.
>>573371801>trying to work in virtual Dualshock 4/5 modeLOL, I never do that because Xinput has wider compatability. Guess it's worth a test, provided there's standalones that also support Dinput.
Let the man finish d3d11 renderer so that retroarch core has finally a reason to exist as a worse but faster mednafen
>>573378704Nu-games have Sony gyro and adaptive triggers, all the DS4/5 goodies, so there is a reason to have it. >why not just use the native/whitelisted DS5because I may want binds to a virtual controller for games that have adaptive but not gyro, gyro but not adaptive triggers, etc, and kb/m input fucks with the game's HUD and has other issues when mixed with controller. I have to cope and rope and deal with it, though.
>>573379317>Nu-games have Sony gyro and adaptive triggersI won't lie, the only Nu-game I ever really bothered with was Nixxes' Rift Apart port. I've still got my DS4 for testing, but it's not exactly ideal because my R2 trigger is kind of worn.

>>573382460hmmm most of that shit idc but per game and system configs does sound goateddoes that mean for controllers across systems too?i typically switch between either my ps3 pad with bluetooth or my gamecube controller depending on the title
>>573382694Yeah it (in theory, when it works properly) saves general mappings for each controller and binds them appropriately for each core/system. To be honest the input system can be very hard to troubleshoot when it doesn't work, so YMMV. The input and UX (which are both tricky problems to solve for a multi-system frontend to be fair) are the most controversial things about it. I've managed, though.
>>573374812then why is he literally telling him to do a feature request, and not a bug?
>>573381817Do that in a language I speak next time... or not, go emulate your enlightenment somewhere else.
>>573382694Most of those features are useful for everyone. You set them once and it's done. If they don't help, they also won't do any harm.About the controller, people have a little trouble understanding, but it goes like this:1. Your OS recognizes and handles a gamepad.2. RetroArch hooks on the OS, and maps everything to a fictional controller called RetroPad (an abstraction). Its purpose is to eliminate complications arisen from many different gamepads and treat everything as a single entity. Think as if there was ever a single controller ever invented, the RetroPad.3. The core (used for emulation inside RetroArch) does not detect your controller, only the RetroPad. Your actual hardware is only seen by RetroArch (the frontend), which translate it to RetroPad, so no matter how many different cores you have, the compatibility will be maintained.What does it entail: even if you have tens of different gamepads, they all conform to the RetroPad. That way, you can switch controllers on the fly and they'll work as you configured them to. RetroArch tries to do all that automatically, but, if it fails (or you don't like the auto config), you can do it manually.

ai is fucking up retroarch so bad. anyone have a back-up of retroarch and all the cores before it went down the shitter i can use?
>>573400114I'd go with the latest stable, not the latest nightly. On the Loonix side of things, stable is the only thing Flatpak has to offer.

>>573400580That's strange, my RA build is also a nightly, though it's dated 2026-07-05. Looks like I can access core settings just fine.
>>573400364If it's bothering you, anything before April 2026 is safe.>>573400580Do NOT use nightly, unless you're helping with development. Emudevs go nuts with nightly builds, it may be heaven or may be hell, all down to luck, like a coin toss. Just wait for a stable build.
>>573400898>Just wait for a stable build.IMO, I wouldn't want to wait on a stable BlastEm build because it's starting to make leaps and bounds. Micheal Pavone's in the midst of optimizing 32X support, which will be extremely nice to see.

>>573401690Wow you're right, that latest nightly is scuffed to hell! I can't access any of the settings at all, because they all redirect me to the "Load Content" tab. It even tells me that no settings were found.
>>573402153yesterday hunterk told me to use sdl3, i told him it wasnt in the latest nightly, he said "i guess one of the 10k+ commits from the last 3 days has buggered the menu somehow"The menu wasnt even broken then yet, only problem was that SDL3 wasnt in the drivers/controller tab.i try the nightly the next day, now the entire menu is broken.so i guess he just told his AI to fix the menu, and it broke it even more catastropically, he didnt test it and just hit commit
>>573401690>I don't fuck with setupsyeah for real, always back up your retroarch folder before you update it lol, and just back it up every few days for when it randomly breaks

>>573401030Cores and RetroArch main binary are different things. Provided you have core backups properly set, you can freely update them, as it's very easy to roll back, in case you face any problem.RetroArch itself is a different issue, as it's the bedrock the emulation rests upon. It's easier to break stuff, for a minor change may affect many depending components. Sometimes, it's easy to roll back; other times, different configurations after updating breaks retrocompatibility. If you're experienced, it's not hard to "fix" it, but most people don't have the patience (or see the reason) to learn to that point.
>>573407653Then I'm honestly very lucky that I just so happened to grab one of the last "good" nightlies.

https://github.com/flowa1911you/xemu-sinden-lightgun#-whats-new-in-v30:~:text=Massive%20performance%20overhaul
>>573473784There are modern lightguns??
>>573477619Yes, Sinden is commercially available and one can build or buy a hobbyist's Gun4IR (at a high price) -- be warned that these are a pain in the ass to use in practice. Every time I get mine out I have to fuck with it a little bit, but they do work with sight aiming and all.
I have 86Box fatigue.
>>573473784Don't care about lightgun gaems, does this benefit other hueg xbox gaems?
>>573478474It's just as good as it's reasonably gonna get until they get an adderall addicted tranny or type the right prompts into Claude to improve performance. It's a great 1997 PC simulator but it's hard capped there.
>>573479315>It's a great 1997 PC simulator but it's hard capped thereThey don't really care about the late win9x era, mostly because their approach makes it completely unacceptable performance-wise.We need separate project dedicated strictly to the '98–'05 era. Emulating a Pentium III/IV and d3d8-9 stuff which requires a fundamentally different approach than what 86Box is doing.
>>573480495(cont.)And this right here is the QEMU-3dfx approach. I think its biggest disadvantage (and the reason why people here constantly dismiss the project as impractical) is that the wrappers are on the guest side, which is an absolute mess.
and yeah before that QEMU fork is mentioned; it's so virtualized and passed through that it introduces a lot of problems both in emulation (speed is uncapped for better or worse and the wrappers are imperfect) and UX (setting it up and making sure it's even passing through properly, using the right wrappers on the right games, all sorts of unfriendly bullshit QEMU-***x leaves up to the user) It's just not emulating a certain CPU or GPU. It's really not too far removed from just running a wrapper natively, except since it's running 98/XP in a guest it will lean on features and APIs those OSes have a little more reliably in fringe instances where wrapped natively won't work. A fast, bonafide x86 + Geforce emulator would be preferred
Honestly, Wine-Staging in troonux may be the best 9x-XP "emulator" out there.
>>573481121Exactly. If a project actually solves the guest-wrapper nightmare, annd ditches virtualization engine shit for a proper CPU emulation approach, and comes with a halfway decent UX, it would completely solve the puzzle.At that point: you just use 86Box for DOS and early 9x, and switch to the new emulator for late 9x/D3D9 stuff.
>>573481472I personally find 86box and creating a whole-ass Win98 (includes DOS) or DOS guest complete with the suicide inducing config.sys/autoexec.bat (scripts for sound, cd-rom, mouse, and memory allocation) to be extremely overkill for DOS and worse, there's no one-size-fits-all guest or autoexec/config setup for every DOS game. You'll either have the RAM misallocated, some games will tell you to fuck off with memory managers (Ultima 7, Turrican 2), or the CPU will be too fast/slow. DOSbox Pure/Unleashed does the job better than any real DOS machine ever did, honestly, and can easily save machine presets per game and change speed on the fly.
>>573481472>>573480961>>573480495(cont.)Before anyone replies with "uhhh how do you make the guest software talk to the host wrapper without tanking performance dummy?" you don't do constant hypercalls. You map a shared memory ring buffer between the guest and host. The guest driver just streams the batched D3D8/9 commands asynchronously into RAM, and a host thread consumes it and translates it to Vulkan. No constant VM exits.I'm not sure if it actually makes sense though lmao...
This game has a captivating setting, but it sucks so much. You move and attack like a rusted robot. Well, it was good to know it though.
>>573483270it's crazy how Neo Geo has zero good beat em ups
>>573482717(cont.)biggest roadblock is writing a guest-side virtual GPU adapter and driver for a dead OS ofc, but the foundation is already kinda there, just rip the VBoxVGA adapter code and use the existing legacy VBoxGuestAdditions driver: https://github.com/CE1CECL/vbox/blob/b16f7476323b493f42cfb0fb8db32c83ac59f444/src/VBox/Devices/Graphics/DevVGA.cpphttps://github.com/86Box/86Box/pull/6183

>>573460389Danny admitting he has dun goofed is a much welcome sign of maturity. If he keeps behaving himself and stop picking fights online, there will be a golden future for RetroArch.
Which switch emulator has more active players online for mk8 and smash?
>>573465919welp
>>573502710Yeah no, I don't expect 86Box to ever evolve into what I was describing (https://boards.4chan.org/vg/thread/573159241#p573480495). They have a small team, so they'll keep their focus restricted to DOS 2D and early Win9X (D3D6/7 max) which honestly is probably for the better.The other anon is right about DOSBox Pure being the go-to for "click and play" DOS stuff, but 86Box isn't trying to compete with that. They prioritize hardware accuracy, which is fine. Just different goals.
>>573481819Yeah, if all you want to do is play games and nothing else, the 86Box approach is not ideal. I fuck with it because I actually like the authenticity, pain and all, plus some stuff actually does run a bit better. Also, I like the thought of being able to contain both DOS and early Windows stuff in one single setup, even if not everything will work because of speed or hardware issues. But that's just my take.
>>573497284>there will be a golden future for RetroArch.Can't wait for the latest stable, Danny seems to be doing good work porting standalones to his frontend.

>>573541926That's for mobile or PC? Is 'core' what the app is called? Do I need another program on top to make it run?
>>573547953Retroarch is on both mobile and PC. It's a frontend, and Beetle Saturn is the "core". There's also "Emir" (Ymir) which might use less resources. Emir is only accessible on nightly builds though, so be sure to use a build that was made before July 5th. Earlier in the thread, we discussed how fucked up the latest nightlies' UIs are.

>using nightly builds of dannywareAre you guys insane?
>>573563550nigger
>dannyware being (((stable)))it's the same shit
>>573549987>>573551779Yeah, it has been improving a lot lately. Even though I have some weird, specific issues that no one else seems to experience, it's becoming highly playable. For almost any game I boot up, it either runs great out of the box or just needs a few quick tweaks in the performance menu to run smoothly.
>>573551779>Even for some games that were on PC at the time.Honestly, even for multi-platform games that actually got PC releases back then, using Xenia Edge makes a lot of sense if they aren't on Steam. There are a ton of mid-2000s to early 2010s PC games stuck in limbo. With emulation, you don't have to hunt down No-DVD cracks or community patches that might mess up your host OS. You don't even have to install anything, so you avoid all the weird compatibility issues with modern Winblows and newer GPU drivers. Plus, if you run Linux, using an emulator lets you just play the game without depending on compatibility layers or wrappers.You just grab the 360 XISO, extract it and compress it down to a ZAR file if you want, click play and you have a perfect couch-gaming experience with a controller. For Steam games from that era (2005-2014), obviously just use Steam. But for everything else, the emulator is way less of a headache.I remember discussing this with an anon a while ago regarding the GTA 3D games (PS2 versions are usually better anyway) and GTA IV. Recommending emulation over the native PC non-steam versions is honestly way more streamlined for casual users than trying to fix broken non-Steam retail ports.Even for GTA IV, just use Xenia Edge. It's a way less stuttery experience out of the box without dealing with FusionFix, DXVK and all that shit. Best of all, it's the original, uncensored version with no deleted radio tracks right from the jump.There’s still a ton of work to do on Xenia, lots of missing features and compatibility issues. But, if they can just maintain the pace they’ve had so far this year (though I’m not super hopeful since it feels like they’re already starting to burn out lmao), they could easily catch up to RPCS3's compatibility level by the end of the year.
>>573567408So, would you say that the Xbox360 emulate better than the PS3 version as of now?
>>573572159If you have a beefy CPU with AVX-512 but a weaker GPU, RPCS3 might be worth a shot. Other than that specific edge case, Xenia Edge is unironically the way to go, assuming the game is actually playable on it ofc.

Why the hell is Need for Speed: The Run broken on both RPCS3 and Xenia? What does this game even require to go in-game? Is it waiting on some kind of crazy filesystem trick.I'm sure as shit not buying EA garbage or installing their bloatware launcher just to play it on PC. High seas all the way?
>>573683085Pirate the fucking pc version.
>>573682763>>573567408It's pretty wild that after literally years of fighting with VMware and VirtualBox just trying to get standard Direct3D 9.0c PC games to run without issues, you can just boot up RPCS3 or Xenia Edge and play the console versions of those exact same titles near-flawlessly.I mean, think about the sheer scale of that: emulating an entire Cell processor or the Xbox 360’s custom Xenon/Xenos (with its quirky D3D9 superset) is a nightmare. Yet a handful of random open-source devs achieved a smoother experience than massive, enterprise x86 virtualization solutions.

Emubros, I tried Emir. I’m the faggot with an ancient Alienware (17R3).

Don't expect to use upscaling enhancements in demanding games.>PS3Mostly yes, though SPU-heavy games will be borderline. You're nearly there and with more optimization down the road, I'm sure it'll run well enough.

>>573729675If you can't use beetle in RA then use SSF.It runs on a toaster, has very high compatibility and accuracy, and has all the features (de interlace, transparency etc) you'd want.

SPOOKYlation...
Out of all the modern arcade devs, which one's your favorite? Mine has to be Raw Thrills, and the best part is that a good chunk of their games have been made playable on PC.
>>573752819I'm too much of a pussy bitch to play horror games myself, but I enjoyed watching my friends play them. This one was a favorite in particular. The woman with a broken neck that falls off the stairs endlessly scared the shit out of us kek.
Tested the latest nightly of RA (7-12-26), and Claudanny finally fixed that jank-ass UI.https://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/windows/x86_64/2026-07-12_RetroArch.7zThe Loonix build for SteamOS users. (Paddles don't work by default however, even on stable Appimage. Assigning keyboard inputs to the paddles in gamepad mode helps, but it's a hacky workaround.)https://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/linux/x86_64/2026-07-12_RetroArch.7z
Sengoku 2 is much better than the first one. It maintained the setting while polishing and improving the gameplay. It still falls short though, definitely not a good game, but certainly a decent one. Had a fun time playing it co-op.
>>573757696>Raw ThrillsPretty much formed from the ashes of Midway's old chicago branch (specifically the amusement games division) after it stopped making arcade gaymes in the early 2000s. The over-the-top vibe from those days is still present in the games I've played from Raw Thrills, though their overall output is really all over the place. I do like that Target: Terror is practically Maximum Force 2 in everything but the name, right down to the use of digitized actors and goofy secret rooms.
>>573774552I'd kill to play their "Frenzy" games natively on PC. The only thing stopping me from doing so is the USB dongle.

Something else
>>573760821>I'm too much of a pussy bitch to play horror games myselfThis is why you should be playing them actually.
>>573774552>>573757696>glazing one of the most sloptastic Walmart n bowling alley core developersDifferent strokes, I suppose. Midway, even when they produced quality, were always insidious carnie bastards (hence the name?) and most of their games were just impossible to play for long sessions or impossible to 1cc without playing as scummy as they were.
>>573807196>impossible to 1cc without playing as scummy as they were.You aren't wrong, their Fast 'N Furious Superbikes games have extremely aggressive rubberbanding. (And they do the classic arcade teasing of a "free game" if you win 1st place.)
>>573812135Oh yeah, I thought Jackpot Racer was quite fun. Played that yesterday at an arcade, and it was nice seeing Raw Thrills repurpose the Superbikes engine for a hybrid redemption game. (Still ended up in turd place though, damn carnies...)
Emir (RetroShart) performs better on my i7-6700HQ laptop than Ymir (standalone). That's odd. Sega Rally has minor slowdowns on Ymir but runs silky smooth on Emir, this might be the first time a core beats the base emulator.Issue on Emir: Emulating the 3D controller makes shoulders act as Z/L and C/R. It's tough to manage torque since accel button acts as upshift too. Checked RetroPad and inputs: bumpers should be Z/C, triggers L/R. Probably Emir core bug. Anyone else tried it?
>>573815105>Silky smooth>54fpsGrim
>>573815291I tried playing online games on it and disabled the pause-on-menu feature, but when I bring up the menu, the game stutters a bit. During gameplay, though, it runs at a rock-solid 60fps according to the Nvidia overlay. But the game doesn’t run at 60fps on the Saturn; it’s more like 60fps = 100% speed.
>>573815742>it’s more like 60fps = 100% speedso no fullspeedgrim
>>573815909What?
>>573815909You're not understanding him or deliberately misinterpreting it. He means during the pause or the shot it had a spike, but it normally runs 100% and the guest framerate is what it would normally be, which often isn't 60 in these old 3D games.
>>573815291Silky smooth IS 54 fps.For 60 fps, you say "buttery smooth".

>>573835046The fuck is an Aaru? I know it's a storage format, but I have never seen a single Aaru ROM in my entire life.
>>573838552https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Ripping_games#Comparison>Low-level byte-perfect
>>573838662It's even better than Redump cues? That's really cool!
>>573835046>>573838662I wonder if it handles copy protection too btw, specifically SafeDisc on DVDs so we can finally ditch DAEMON Tools and NoDVD cracks.Obviously, 86Box is nowhere near emulating late 90s/early 2000s hardware, but seeing Aaru support integrated is a massive stuff for future projects I guess.>>573839241As long as CD is properly dumped to BIN/CUE, 99% of issues are already solved. But for DVDs and more stubborn formats, this Aaru integration is exactly what we need for the future.
>>573840703>this Aaru integration is exactly what we need for the future.Yeah, seems like it'd come in handy for 6th gen and up. (Especially OG Xbox, Redump ISOs don't work on Xemu out of the box.)
Emir is so damn good. Chapeau, Danny et frens!
>>573841432how so? mednafen is so much better
>>573840836Isn't the Redump original Xbox set made of XISOs? Xbox discs are XGD discs, not typical UDF DVD-ROM ISOs.https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Ripping_games#:~:text=%E2%9C%93-,System%2DSpecific%20Discs,-While%20standard%20formats
>>573841534performance wise Emir fucks and Mednafen watches
>>573842020they're pretty close perf wise and it's game dependent
>>573816307He's right.If it was running at fullspeed it'd say 60.It doesn't say 60.It says 54.
>>573841797I'd say so, though there's some weird edge cases where OG Xbox demos show up on commercial DVDs. (Ang Lee Hulk is a prominent example.)

>>573840703>wonder if it handles copy protection too btwthe readme said it handles subchannel data, and error flags, so it should work just fine.
>All these morons online think a working PS5 emulator capable of playing GTA6 will be available immediatelyI fucking hate console fag tourists
>>573842614>Ang Lee Hulk DVD VideoYeah, I remember our conversation about that and the Robots DVD from the previous threads (the ones with the OG Xbox bonus content). Still hunting for Ang Lee Hulk and Spider-Man lmao.You can check these archives btw, but keep in mind they’re scrubbed/reconstructed XISOs, not the proper ~6GB master dumps:https://archive.org/download/metal-gear-solid-2-substance-usahttps://archive.org/download/microsoft-xbox-xemu.xisoready-software-collection-part-2Honestly though, there's not much point in preserving the ISO 9660 DVD video partition structure for OG Xbox anyway. When you mount the image in xemu, even inside the dashboard emulation, it just launches the game directly (unlike the Xbox 360). OG Xbox doesn’t use any dashboard metadata from that outer partition I guess.
>>573845651>Still hunting for Ang Lee HulkLuckily I don't have to hunt too far on my end, because a local library was how I found out this film had an OG Xbox demo to begin with.
>>573842743Weak b8, m8.
>>573844580Idk man, emulators and hypervisors almost always skip that stuff because of copyright shit. I'll believe it when I see it.https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Copy_protection#Disc_ripping_and_scan_for_copy_protection:~:text=Emulation%20of%20the%20Disc%20Drive
>>573845651(cont.)That DVD video partition is probably just there to play a video on other systems "this disc is for Xbox" or something.https://youtu.be/JTOA3v7vHkg?t=88Yup, exactly what I was thinking.
>>573846702Bummer, so I'd have to get some kind of Plexor drive I want to dump the actual game part of the Hulk DVD. (Or perhaps a softmodded Xbox for extra convenience.)
>>573846947From what I understand, that disc is a DVD Video disc, but the actual demo game data is hidden inside the XDVDFS partition. You'll probably have to use the standard OG Xbox dumping method to get a proper rip out of it.https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Ripping_games#Microsoft_Xbox
>>573847582Hmm, either I rip only the DVD part via MakeMKV or I rip only the demo part via a flashed DVD drive? Tough decision...
3080 to 5070 Ti in a few days, more games in 4K soon
>>573849787>I rip only the demo part via a flashed DVD drive?I'm retarded, turns out that's only a process needed for emulation. (XISOs) OG Xbox redumps are larger in size because they keep the DVD partition, which is extra useful because these DVDs with demos do the inverse of what retail OG Xbox games do.
>>573850143Nice, have fun with it m8, it's the only new card that make sense. I keep mine undervolted and it still crush 4K even for Xenia.
