Why does emulating on smartphones make me feel like im castrated

Smartphone emulation is for third worlders

those telescoping controllers are shitty and you didnt stretch to fill the screen
emulating on tablet is better

Works on my machine

Because phone emulation is subhuman.

It must be like masturbating with your pants on

I love it for widescreen gen 6 gaming, it works great and at least on my phone with an OLED it looks amazing too. its also perfect for touch screen ds games since I have a built in stylus. for anything older than gen 6 with a square-ish aspect ratio id much rather use my RPC however.

Ahh that's better.

Because having those horrible joycons asymmetrical sticks on your phone is like having shackles and a cock cage put on

It’s fucking stupid and a humiliation ritual by individuals and corporations psyopping you into consuming a simulacrum of a lost technology that existed as far back as 10 years ago

>>12584693
i dunno, maybe you're castrated

he's trying psp on a phone with almost the same aspect ratio
>>
>>12584950
aspect ratio rape is still a crime whether it's a little or a lot

I've played through many an RPG on my android. It's perfect for grinding during 5 minute breaks from staring at spreadsheets. Right now I'm going through DQ IV
>>
>>12584851
symmetrical stick is fucking retarded and always has been.
>>
>>12584693
Because only subhumans do that. "People" that don't even own computers and only have phones.

>>12584693
Using those bluetooth controller attachments is a form of cuckoldry if you think about it. Your inputs aren't being directly input, they're being intercepted by the bluetooth that then sends it to your phone. So it's about the same as masturbating on the couch while your wife's bull matches your stroking speed and rhythm as he fucks her. You're not actually fucking her yourself even though it might feel like you're in control, the bluetooth bull is.
>>
>>12584693
I've never found one of those controller attachments that feels good to hold. However the display on modern phones is going to be way better than most dedicated retro handheld device. Most of them dont use Oled displays.
>>
>>12584961
not really: CRTs were never exactly 4:3, they were 4.08365:3.2042 etc and did stretch to fit
>>
>>12584851
Asymmetrical sticks is the better design, though.

Emulating on PC is also a terrible, terrible experience too. I tried, I just can't.
>but but you don't know how to configure an emulator, it can actually have even less input lag than real hardware with run ahead and and
Yeah yeah, I know, oh, believe me, I know how to configure all this shit. I’ve got a good PC and I’ve spent countless hours learning every setting… I just can’t stand audio having a a mere frame of delay. I know my games, and when I switch from original hardware to emulator I notice it immediately. I think only standalone bsnes (yeah yeah I know Byuu this, Byuu that, whatever, I don't care) is an actually good emulator that could replace the original hardware properly configured and on a modern g-sync display. It’s probably impossible to tell apart from original hardware. The rest? all fucking shit included those "cycle-acurate" emulators.
So yeah, I just want to play games, properly, real hardware only, end.

>>12585295
what's your problem retard, you notice a 32ms sound delay? you do know that you can get it down to 5-10ms if you use wasapi exclusive, right:?

I avoid because it's an extremely brown-coded way to play videogames

Phone emulation is a shitshow.

I want a dedicated gaming phone with built in controls that runs SteamOS. Android is street shitter tier. Maybe Apple is better.
>>
>>12584693
The backend of a phone just really isn't built for this shit. You can totally do it, but virtually all phones have no active cooling so they'll get throttled, their batteries are already getting drained by background apps on top of emulation, and the OS interference will add input delay that you WILL feel among other issues. If you get a modern enough phone packing stuff like Snapdragon processors you can brute force some shit, but it's a bonus feature of options, not built for it; you're better off playing Android games actually optimized for phones at that point.
You either go all in on a chinkheld to actually get something that plays decently well or you don't bother. The best advantage you're getting is modern phones regularly having OLED displays and you're simply not getting the best you can get there out of them for performance ratio anyway.
>>
>>12585393
the input lag is absolutely not noticeable or significant for anything besides rhythm games and even those can be managed fine with runahead. and Ive never once had my s23 ultra overheat or throttle even playing upscaled ps2 and gc games for several hours at once. background apps/notifications are 100% in your control. none of these "issues" are even real.
>>
>>12585394
We need more granular control over phone OS just for battery life.

>>12585393
Can you go into more detail on temp throttling and background processes on phones vs Linux or Windows?

has never happened to me a single time, have you tried not being fucking retarded and learning how to use a phone?
>Most emulators don't let you put configs, saves, roms, etc, in a specific location like a micro SD card
its called a file manager, maybe one day you'll learn how folders work retard-sama.
>>
>>12585394
>s23 ultra
>Processor: Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy
What did I just say? You've got a device that is so absurdly overspecced for most emulation that it can go to GameNative and run Resident Evil 2 Remake at like 30-40 FPS on low settings.

>>12585396
"Works on my machine" is old, old bait posting, john trune
>>
>>12584693
geez. look at that blackcrush on the shartphone
>>
>>12585295
At the end of the day, all emulators are for thirdworld shitskin niggers that can't afford real hardware or a decent FPGA build.

Can you straight-up use one of those mobile controllers as your secondary PC controller?
Are they any good?
