We already have an emulation thread up…

>>13904036

You are very rude

>>13904089

How did you feel about the ratio of minigames to exploration in yotd vs 1?

So RPCS3 got updated recently and a bunch of exclusives started going ingame.

>>13904107

Yes, how long until every single Yakuza game runs smoothly? They all run on the same engine.

Where is the best place to get PC-98 disk images?

Brandish 2 Renewal's fan translation is finished and I want to play it but never dicked around with PC-98 games before

>>13904102

I haven't played 1 in a very long time so I don't recall. At some point it did get a little tedious in yotd having to complete 2 or more mini games in every single level though.

>>13904115

some guy on their discord keeps posting Yakuza screenshots. I assume they all go ingame but the framerate is around 10-15FPS

>>13904117

Use japanese google to find a good jap torrent.

>>13904022

>What are you playing

Bugs Bunny Lost in Time, Vampire D and Kamen Rider Super Climax Heroes.

>What is your favorite emulator?

Probably Dreamcast right now.

In any case, I have a problem with ePSXe running Pepsiman. There's no sound. I'd run it in Mednafen, but shit doesn't seem to accept .iso format.

>>13904168

you probably have a bad dump off of emuparadise or something

>>13904168

Grab the NTSC-U Redump set from the wiki, since .cue/.bin is the proper format PSX games are dumped in.

>>13904168

Bugs Bunny Lost in Time was released on PC and you can pirate it from IGG as well as the sequel and Sheep Raider. Why would you play the inferior version?

>>13904200

I know you're memeing but the texture resolution in N64 games is too low to properly simulate color depth without some sort of filtering.

Whats the video on the left from?

>>13904200

Why do the clouds look so wrong in the left?

>>13904200

They were thinking you were going to play the system on a display with scanlines, which improve the image considerably.

>>13904180

>>13904186

Thanks anon

>>13904191

I've heard the contrary. Supposedly the PC ports are terrible. Correct me if I'm wrong.

>>13904225

No texture filtering.

>>13904233

They aren't ports because the games were designed on PC first. And Sheep Raider looks MILES BETTER on PC than it does on PS1.

>>13904255

Where does it say that on the Sheep Raider article? Even then the games were made by Infogrames, an european developer where computers were more popular than consoles. Just look at footage of SR on PS1 and then PC.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheep,_Dog_%27n%27_Wolf

>>13904267

Sheep Raider, sure, but I doubt it with Lost in Time specifically. Dunno about Bugs and Taz either, but I'd say the PS1 version of Lost in Time is as good of not better than the PC version I remember having some problems with it some years ago

>>13904036

I'm back asshat. And now I don't know why the fuck EGG isn't responding to my inputs in Demul. Google doesn't help.

>>13904291

Have you actually mapped your inputs in the first place?

>>13904298

Yes. They work with D2 and Cannon Spike. Last time I thought it's because I had the VMU window as the active window, but that wasn't the case.

>>13904300

Give me a screenshot of your input screen.

>>13904322

just download the ones in fds format. they aren't exactly big games.

>>13904327

Where, though, is the question? Some places don't host the FDS files of games (Only the Famicom/NES versions of titles), and those places that can I get the FDS files from (that didn't suffer the Nintendo purge) seem to have broken files. So, the only place I can reliably get FDS files from are Nintendo's eShop itself (Using the titlekeys method) and they encode the files in those formats.

>>13904316

Well no wonder I couldn't find anything; been using Startpage as my go-to search engine, since, well, you guys always talk about botnetting or having the gov't or companies monitor your info.

>>13904322

Does the no-intro set not work with Mesen?

>>13904358

>>13904372

>extended controller buttons

Wipe those out.

>>13904372

does it not respond to any inputs whatsoever or just certain buttons?

>>13904386

None whatsoever.

>>13904376

Yeah, gonna try that after I'm done installing something. I have a feeling it won't affect anything though.

>>13904386

>>13904394

A'ight it works. Thank you guys.

Original PS1 Dual shock. But still using the 360 gamepad

>>13904367

Thanks for the suggestion. Found a pack FDS games on the site, but the pack itself just contains 60 games. It's still missing most of the library (And, some of the games I want to play). So, back to the first post: >>13904322

>>13905004

Use the September 2016 set, it has everything.

>>13905004

You clearly didn't read the OP and use the fucking wiki as instructed, because the no-intro set linked there contains an FDS set with 278 games.

>>13905047

>You clearly didn't read the OP

Didn't see the initial link due to the formatting caused by the image. Also, found my way, thanks.

>>13905047

So what do you think of the Trump presidency now?

Anyone been able to get the Gameboy Advance Shader from quark's shaders to work with Higen? I am using v106 of the emulator and the GBA shader is drawing a black screen.

Beetle PSX now has compatibility parity with standalone, so you're not losing anything with RA, and are gaining stackable shaders and input lag reducing options if you're into that.

https://www.amazon.com/DualShock-Wireless-Controller-PlayStation-Black-4/dp/B01LWVX2RG

Regularly goes on sale for ~$40. Since you're familiar with that awful F310, it'll feel like a straight upgrade. DS3 would be another option that's even closer to your F310, and has analog meme buttons to boot, but good luck finding a new one. Both Amazon and Walmart have been shipping fakes if you buy them online.

>>13907771

>Logitech F310

>the lack of analog triggers

Look on the back of the controller. There is a switch with a D and an X next to it. Make sure the switch is set to the X so the controller is in X-input mode.

>What are you playing?

Xenoblade Chronicles 1

I'm having a lot of fun with it and it's emulating really well. I'm working on doing a lot of the side quests that can expire because I don't want to get too far too soon.

>What is your favorite emulator?

I don't know enough about the different emulators to know which could be considered good. But I like Dolphin and PCSX2

>What is your preferred gamepad?

PS4 Controller

>>13907171

Do you mind posting your specs? I'm curious to know if XCX will run decently on my PC and want to compare.

>>13907788

A friend of mine who has a DS4 was complaining about the D-Pad while we were playing a fighter, so I'm kind of wary about it. Plus I've heard of the rubber on the sticks wearing out easily.

>>13907790

I was talking about the 8bitdo.

>>13907813

Nope. The rubber on the sticks was an issue on the very first run of controllers. It has been good to go for like 2 years. As for the dpad, if you're satisfied with your F310, it absolutely crushes it. The 8bitdo (along with the buffalo controllers) have serious QC issues that have yet to be addressed: broke shoulder buttons on the 8bitdo, and phantom inputs on the buffalos).

>>13907771

DS4 or even 360 pad is decent for 3D games. Really anything is better than the flimsy nigger pad that is the F310

>>13907813

Short of a Hori controller or a stick, DS4 is the best bet for fighting games. Microsoft dpads are absolute dogshit and so are most other alternatives.

>>13915043

Might want to report it here: https://forum.fobby.net/index.php?t=msg&th=1357&start=0&

Use SSF. Mednafen's compatibility is pretty shit.

>>13915043

You might just be missing Japanese bios

How's the state of Dreamcast emulation? I've wanted to emulate Border Down for some time on the Dreamcast, though usually sixth-gen consoles still have poor emulation. I could also try emulating it on MAME, but MAME tends to shit itself when it comes to emulating anything 3D without a NASA PC.

>>13915645

its ok if you just want to play games. Demul is the best emulator so far but its windows only.

>>13915645

get demul

>>13905505

>this stupid goy doesn't pirate his gamepads

>>13915640

Thought this might be the problem, but it doesn't seem to be. The source I got the US BIOS from supplied the Japanese one too, but just to be safe I got it again from another source, and nothing changed. It's named properly based on every source I've checked.

>>13915619

Loads of places. emuparadise, theISOZone, coolrom, and one or two links to megas from random forum posts. None of them behaved any differently.

>>13915565

I tried downloading SSF before mednafen, but can't for the life of me find any guides on using it. Executing the applications in the download just gives a pop-up saying "??????CD??????" which I assumed meant you either needed to mount the disc image you wanted or somehow point the emulator to the file you need before running it, but I can't figure out how. Is there a guide you know of? or would you be willing to spoonfeed?

>>13920005

ayy, ignore my pathetic begging, I did a little more searching and figured things out with SSF. Got the game to boot up fine. Thanks for the help, anons

>>13905505

You might already be aware of the fact how a anonymous imageboard works and that you effort (not the effort to tell everyone about your shitty opinion, i speak about the effort to post a bait comment) will vaished into the void of nothingness like all the other bait post.

CRT shader of choice for SNES gaming?

I have been testing out the ones in the Retroarch shader package and I can't find one that can be considered perfect. Either the shader is too artificial or scaling issues occur creating moire patterns.

Yeah the dpad on the ds4 isn't very good. It's great for analogue games though. But if you need a good dpad get a saturn controller.

>>13911320

Royale needs 4k minimum.

>>13915043

Either a bios issue, your cue sheet is wrong, or your ISO is just plain fucked. RSG works fine in mednafen.

>>13915645

Demul is the way to go.

>>13923511

Geom, Lottes, Easymode, Hylian are all good. Tweak them if they don't look right - they all have heaps of options. If you're getting moire patterns then disable screen curvature or enable integer scaling or something.

>>13923595

>Yeah the dpad on the ds4 isn't very good. It's great for analogue games though. But if you need a good dpad get a saturn controller.

The six button Genesis controller has the best dpad I've ever used. Saturn is close.

>>13923595

Been trying out different shaders and I believe the one that fits the closest to my old Sony Wega is Easymode with halation.Not 100% sure how to replicate it since the old TV has died so I am going on based on gut feeling.

It's probably easier to emulate the PSX version than running 3D PC games designed for Windows 95/98 computers.

Do GLSL shaders perform better than CG shaders? I was testing out crt-royale and I noticed that the GLSL version in the libretro library does not work exactly like the CG version. One example is that the s-video shader + crt-royale combo does not work with GLSL with it outputting wonky video while the original CG preset works fine.

I've been playing through the Patapon games on PPSSPP, are there any other PSP games you lot suggest? I already grabbed Peace Walker, though I'm enjoying Patapon more. I never played another mainline MGS game, I now realize people calling them cinematic experiences weren't entirely shitposting.

>>13981008

If you like God of War chains of olympus and ghost of sparta are perfectly fine portable installments.

If you haven't played the original Lemmings at all PSP has a remaster/rerelease which replaces the sprites with 3D models but is an otherwise faithful recreation with a few quality of life improvements.

If you like FF7, Crisis Core is a pretty fun game. Same for Dissidia 012 but for final fantasy in general.

PSP also has a compilation of FF4 with high reworked higher resolution assets instead of just having a filter applied to them. The episodes are trash but the base game is the same old.

Chinatown Wars is a solid top down GTA game. Liberty City and Vice city Stories are more in the vein of Vice City.

What specs and emulator do you use? I am running a AMD FX 6300 and 290, PCXS2 run some games like shit and others "ok" about 75% of the time regardless of settings changed almost. I don't think upgrading my GPU would help much even when trying to run at 3200x1800 via VSR due to the shiity CPU and PSP is making "upgrading" to Rayzen unappealing.

Is a vita worth the extra cash compared to a normal psp when it comes to emulation? Will it run anything better?

>>13998506

I've been thinking about trying that, but afaik the GPU won't be virtualized and stuff like (modern) joypads won't be recognized. Still worth a shot though.

>>13998508

PCSX2 1.4 running on a Ryzen 5@3.8GHz and a GTX960. Haven't played a lot of titles yet though, just a bunch of favorites on 1920x1080. Everything runs smooth and I haven't seen any high CPU or GPU usage, but I haven't checked if it's primarily single threaded, so for all I know it could be topping a single core.

>>13997970

>Mupen64plus core in retroarch got updated

It didn't. Its still the same busted shit from two years back. The only thing that got updated was the angrylion backend which still runs better in PJ64.

>>13998562

>PCSX2 1.4

Update to dev builds. PCSX2 is pretty well optimized to make use of multiple threads.

>>13998568

>It didn't. Its still the same busted shit from two years back

Obviously not since a few things that didn't work back then work fine now.

Its still worse than both standalones with no one actually maintaining it.

>>13997970

>sound lag but you can use retroarchs audio settings to double the audio buffer up to 128.

That makes twice as bad as the default setting. You want a smaller buffer to improve audio lag.

>>14000722

>Like what?

Space Invaders 1999 used to just show garbage and crash on every port of Mupen64, then it got fixed several month ago.

>Its still worse than both standalones

Funny you would say that, on the very same game I end up with several seconds of desync between audio and gameplay on m64p, but not with the RA core, PJ64 works if you really don't care about the shitty audio.

N64 emulation is just the same shithole it has ever been and no single emulator is actually the definitive one.

Okay, got it. What else?

My Vita is sucking absolute dick. I'm trying to emulate GBA games and it's having problems, anyone got any ideas on which settings/emulators/options I have or can do to improve it? I've tried both Retroarch's VBA core and mGBA and both can't run Fire Emblem either at full speed (mGBA) or with so many problems like audio and video stuttering and heavy amounts of static that it feels like shit to play (Retroarch).

Anyone got any tips on what I can do? To give an idea, Retroarch with nothing running and no programs running is running at about 82-85%?

if you start from new, get only NO INTRO rom sets. Use Retroarch for the old tier emulation (NES,SNES,MEGADRIVE,T16, and so on)

Get all the other emulators (read OP)

Consider to use Ishiruka insteed dolphin.

Use Mednafen for saturn emulation

PCSX2 is gay shit but the only way to get ps2 gems, consider to search up for 'different settings for each game' (easy way is to use the ps2 plug in from within launchbox)

No that everything is set up, get your frontend, either take one of the many open source (emulation station) or be a good goy and use launchbox (or simple search for launchbox 7.10 crack)

Use an extern HDD, at least 1TB.

This is NOT done in one day, consider to tweak more than a year on your gaming vault.

>>14018749

Patapon is worth a look, the first game is probably the tightest self contained experience. The second game gets pretty grindy, though can be considered a direct upgrade from Patapon since it still follows the same formula, but adds Heroes which reward perfect rhythm and offer some more variety to your army, on top of having a lot more repeatable content, a longer story and more stuff to unlock/find. If you really like Patapon and want to continue to 2 I suggest farming some high level mats like Super Cedar and Mithril for a while before moving on, as you can move saves between the games and will get to keep the mats you farmed in 2.

The third game changes the formula up a lot, it dumbed down army management by reducing it to a team of 3 regular Patapons and your hero instead of instead of 3 whole squads + hero for up to 19 units. It's also an experience system now where leveling things up unlocks new rarepons instead of farming mats/kaching There are also some poorly conceived mechanics such as Djinn which just aren't worth using. On top of this the "feeling" of the world isn't as neat, the hunting and minigames made for nice downtime between combat missions, but Patapon 3 is nothing but combat. The music also became more rock-oriented instead of the tribal feel of the first two games, I'm not really a fan of it but it's not bad.

Cannot get PCSXR(-PGXP) to run at a decent speed. I've tried the different graphics configurations, different sound plug-ins, switch BIOS, and nothing can seem to play above 6-20 FPS (Regardless of settings).

Phantasy Star Portable 2 if you like that kind of game. The Infinity version is far superior but the fan translation is still in the works.

There are decent Ace Combat games on it that were never ported.

As far as I know, the PSP remake of Final Fantasy Tactics is still the best one. Has a bunch of added content, including characters, classes, items, and multiplayer (co-op and vs). Find the fan patch that fixes the nonsensical slowdown on spell effects. It's easy to install; just drop it in a folder and run the game.

I wanted to suggest Peace Walker and Birth by Sleep, but they got HD console ports.

>Is it difficult ~*~legally~*~ acquiring Wii U and 3DS games?

They are very easy to find, you can easily find them on any search engine.

I don't know anything about Wii U games, but 3DS needed some roundabout way to play them it was something related to rom files compression.

The most annoying thing about these two is to get bioses for emulators.

CEMU 1.11.3 is out for Patreons and includes multi-core dynamic recompiling finally

That is all

>B-but muh Patreon kikery!

There is already a crack floating around, or you can just wait a week

>What performance increase can I expect?

In Hateno village on BotW with single core I get around 20 fps with drops to as low as 14 fps and occasionally up to 25 fps

With dual-core I get around 26-29 fps with drops no lower than 20 fps

With tripple-core I get around 28-30 fps and dips no lower than 22 fps

Going from double to tripple core is not as dramatic as going from single to double but its still a clear improvement. One thing mutlucore dynarec fixes is frame-pacing. Before I would get dramatic fps swings resulting in terrible frame pacing that looked awful. Outside of towns you can easily expect a constant unbroken 30 fps

Also my specs are a Skylake i7, GTX 970M and 14GBs of DDR4

There's a topic I've been thinking about lately. Instead of emulating games by interpreting (as in translating) every single line of code in the ROM during runtime, why not interpret all the code before runtime to create a "translated" ROM that just runs like a normal windows program?

This would eliminating the emulator overhead so the game would run faster and demand less resources from the PC. A quick google search turned up something called "static recompilation" which I believe is what I'm trying to describe, but this concept is not applied because supposedly the code in any given ROM changes at runtime, so the "static" approach would not work.

Anybody heard about that before?

>>14064326

>It's the most compatible and accurate emulator I've seen.

>>14064655

Sure? I mean it's an emulator after all, but nonetheless…

>those play like shit in pSX

I don't recall encountering a single problem in any game I played. There was one texture glitch in Silent Hill 1 that I remember vividly but I reproduced it in Mednafen, so.

Maybe there were problems in my games and I didn't encounter them? Or maybe I didn't notice because they were negligible? Or maybe this list wasn't updated for every single game anytime the emulator was updated, and half of these problems are already gone in my version of the emulator?

Hard to tell.

I'm having issues with Retroarch and screen stuttering and I can't find a fix for it.

I'm trying to play GBA games. I have VSync on and fullscreen (not windowed fullscreen) on.

*It's the only emulator you've seen then.

Sounds like you're dropping frames, what is your framerate like?

glideN64 updated to 3.0 today, i tested mystical ninja through PJ64 (because mupen64 kept crashing and being a piece of shit) so far the game runs perfectly fine 60fps , AA and internal res up to 4x. But for some reason the game lags tremendously every time the camera turns on its own. Can't think of a setting to change that would fix this. Anyone have ideas?

>>14065086

>It's the only emulator you've seen then

Are you retarded or something? I literally said I used Mednafen and found it worse than PSX.

Speaking of, I should list every reason why I don't use Mednafen:

>can't change key bindings during gameplay

>can't change hotkeys during gameplay

>black borders around screenshots

>black borders around the game screen to begin with unless rendering in 1x

>can't run anything other than bin+cue and img+ccd

>converting a game file from iso/mdf/img to bin+cue using all possible imaging programs (free and proprietary) doesn't work, the converted files will not play on Mednafen but will play just fine on PSX

>starting emulation causes windows to lower the entire screen's color depth and drop into the "basic theme", while PSX just launches its own window only in the basic theme

>>14065259

>>can't change key bindings during gameplay

>>can't change hotkeys during gameplay

Wrong

>>can't run anything other than bin+cue and img+ccd

Anything else isn't worth using, not a negative.

>>cue files are easy to make but ccd files (from CloneCD, a fucking proprietary program) can ONLY be generated from the source disc directly using CloneCD (so much for open source)

You'd have to go out of your way to download .ccd/.img/.sub or make them yourself, problem solves itself by not being a retard.

>>converting a game file from iso/mdf/img to bin+cue using all possible imaging programs (free and proprietary) doesn't work, the converted files will not play on Mednafen but will play just fine on PSX

You don't need to convert an .iso in a lot of case you just need to point the proper .cue to it it's not supported and maght cause problems but it works, you only have .mds/.mdf if you're a retard.

>>starting emulation causes windows to lower the entire screen's color depth and drop into the "basic theme", while PSX just launches its own window only in the basic theme

Still your fault for using shitty sources to begin with.

>a very basic feature already covered by all other PS1 emulators on the face of the fucking planet.

Nope, refrain from making broad statements you cannot possibly back up

Not only that but the reason why some emulator support some format directly is because they're hacky shit by nature, can't bypass the requirement for proper track info without dubious fudging around the game executable which ePSXe and friends can do because it doesn't load PS1 games the way an actual PS1 would which is inaccurate, proper track info requires specific formats (hence no support for .iso) and some of those formats aren't widely used (hence no support for .mds/.mdf)

I do give you that there's little reason it shouldn't support both pbp and ecm because the first is just a packed up .bin/.cue and the latter is just stripped of error correction data which you could restore on the fly anyways

>I want my monitor to stop blanking out every fucking time I start a fucking ROM.

>No other "major" emulator, for any other system, that I know of does this stupid shit.

Because the time you spend properly supporting aero is usually less than dealing with the complaints of the lack of supports despite it being a shittier thing for everyone involved, thankfully recaptcha gives no fuck and that's why mednafen is the most compatible PS1 emulator and onlmy took a couple of year getting there.

So by your retarded logic

>other games aren't widely played, no reason to support them

And speaking of formats and "documentation", the official doc page of Mednafen states that sub files (equivalent to ccd for img) are supported, but they're not. Why is that?

>Where in my posts did I mention ePSXe?

>focusing on one specific part to make an argument that doesn't exist

ePSXe and friends refers to pretty much anything that isn't mednafen because it's pretty much all shit, well maybe not XEBRA since that actually made some progress recently.

>I'm talking about PSX, which is in an entirely different league than ePSXe, PCSXR, or SSSPSX who are all plugin based messes

You're right it is, it has entirely worse SPU emulation and generally worse compatibility than ePSXe or PCSXR, so yes it's in an entirely inferior league.

>So by your retarded logic

A format being widely used and appropriate is objective, a game being good and worth supporting is subjective, stop being an intentionally obtuse retard.

Not to mention the goal of a PS1 emulator is to emulate PS1 not play specific games by singling out the ones the dev likes / are worth playing by anyone standard / are popular

>And speaking of formats and "documentation", the official doc page of Mednafen states that sub files (equivalent to ccd for img) are supported, but they're not. Why is that?

How could I miss that one, they're all fucking part of the format you dumbass

.ccd is the track info (that's the one you should load)

.img is the raw sector dump

.sub is subchannel data

Mednafen should be able to use subchannel data on it's own provided they are the same name and in the same folder as the game you load, never tested myself since the relevance levels are very low (libcrypt enabled games, which means PAL only afaik) and the format too rare for me to bother..

I do know that when you use .bin/.cue you use a very small .sbi file that only has the libcrypt relevant parts (couple KB instead of several MB with .sub) and that loads automatically if you have it in the same folder with the same name

>>14065682

Does the VI/s drop under 60?

If yes it's a performance bottleneck, if no then your configuration / emulator has an issue..

Goemon is also a bitch to run in general from what I can remember.

>>14065755

i mean my point was that the game runs perfectly, accurately even. it just does that when the camera moves on its own for some reason. even cranking the game to original res does it.

>>14065782

Probably just some performance requirement spike coming from something the game does when that specific thing happens

Gliden also had pretty big issues with higher resolution and AA on but if native also does the same thing that's not a factor

Could try changing the RSP / sound plugin to something less demanding but I think Goemon is the kind of game that breaks when you do that so it's probably not worth wasting time over if most of the game runs just fine for you.

>>14065848

im just chalking it up to "usual progress" considering ive never emulated the game full speed till gliden got updated. give it like 3 months and itll probably be fixed.

On a different note, I discovered an emulator called BizHawk which is basically Mednafen but with a super full-fledged GUI and some hack/cheat tools. Much better than normal Mednafen + any of the GUIs I tried, might just give this one a chance.

It can bind keys and change all settings while the game is running, and apparently run mds files. I still can't run img files without ccd though, so I'll just use PSX for that.

The black borders are supposedly part of the games but not intended to be visible as CRTs removed them through overscan while PSX did the same to some degree. There could be an option somewhere to manually remove them using specific coordinates…
