Is there a working/promising xbox emu yet?

I think there is one, but I forgot it's name.

What about PS3?

Pretty good. There were some great advancements over the last few months. Full emulation soon.

What have you been emulation lately?

Nope.

Also what kind of games Xbox even have?

I ask that seriously, because I really don't know anything about xbox.

Better question: If threads and content dedicated to bashing Nintendo are permitted than why don't we see similar bashing of Sony or Microsoft at least close to the same abundance?

It appears there is an over-saturation of only one brand of console war shitposting. I can understand targeting more specific things like shit localizations, but these cuckchan memes such as nu-wojak are very broadly just bashing nintendo as a whole with no specific target other than the tired sonygaf mantras of "nintendo is for children" and "I only play mature games for mature gamers such as myself" with tacked on nu-male jokes when nu-males are a larger cancer not exclusive to any brand.

>>14309094

>If threads and content dedicated to bashing Nintendo are permitted than why don't we see similar bashing of Sony or Microsoft at least close to the same abundance?

Because PS4 is no games console and Xbox One will be probably last Microshit console due to their continuous fuckups.

>It appears there is an over-saturation of only one brand of console war shitposting.

There shouldn't be any console war shit here. It's forbidden in board rules.

>I can understand targeting more specific things like shit localizations, but these cuckchan memes such as nu-wojak are very broadly just bashing nintendo as a whole with no specific target

Multiple nintendo cardboard threads were spammed with these. All caused by one sperg, after that he cried on three threads on /sudo/ that he got banned for that shit.

>The tired sonygaf mantras of "nintendo is for children" and "I only play mature games for mature gamers such as myself" with tacked on nu-male jokes when nu-males are a larger cancer not exclusive to any brand.

Yes, but you need to search for rather long time to get it.

>>14316182

>>14316161

PPSSPP, Dolphin, and Cemu are coming along just fine.

PPSSPP is definitely the most stable emulator I've ever used, and CEMU is easily the fastest developing. I want RPCS3 to hurry up and be playable. like,the compatability list has almost everything as "playable", but that just means it runs. MGS3HD runs at 10fps whenever the camera ain't pointed straight down. even the VITA runs MGS3 better than RPCS3.

Cemu is a shitshow. Last few updates have been practically nothing and their site marks games which cannot be finished at all as playable. Its pretty obvious that all their attention is on milking the patreon as much as they can.

>Haven't found a decent PS2 emulator

PCSX2 is the only one, it's janky, but adequate. Play! is a complete joke unless you really want to play PS2 games on your phone.

>although N64 emulation is decent I wish it was better

Vulkan has produced HUGE leaps for N64 emulation, since it let's us now do flawless RDP emulation without having to abandon hardware acceleration. Try ParaLLEl with Vulkan, it's like magic. A few more bugs ironed out, and N64 emu will be a solved problem.

>>14312414

Not anymore, DamonPS2, which is just chink stealing PCSX2 and kinda fixing the dynarec for ARM, runs many more stuff on phones, just don't pay for it.

>Try ParaLLEl with Vulkan, it's like magic. A few more bugs ironed out, and N64 emu will be a solved problem.

Abandoned as fuck since it has core issues you can't fix and the only dev that knows how it works dropped the project, MTed angrylion though is the current best option and is well maintained and usable on every major emulator currently out there.

>>14336402

Dolphin had a 3 year hiatus and no full time dev working on it at all.

CEMU has at-least one dev working full time maybe more.

Dolphin is also hampered by having a shitty working model where even readme editors can strongarm their opinions about actual development.

Reminder that Helios747 and MayImilae should both kill themselves with extreme prejudice

>>14336402

Besides, it would be almost impossible to do.

Remembered randomly that citra is a thing and tried on the Pokemon Sun rom I still had from last test. Shit seems to actually run at 30fps on my Ryzen even with higher resolution. Though I haven't reached a battle yet and honestly I don't want to play a Pokemon game right now. I guess citra is doing very good right now? On the site compatibility's list most games are great or perfect, but surely it is not a full list of games? It seems to have under 200 games in it?

>>14346327

Last I checked, Sun and Moon ran more or less fine, but the G6 games didn't work.

>>14346327

You need to have save to play X&Y, because it breaks right at the game start.

I didn't try emulating ORAS yet.

>I guess citra is doing very good right now?

I don't want to even bother, Citra is just a pain to set up and play.

>compatibility's list most games are great or perfect.

>Is it a full list of games?

It isn't. They just made it recently and almost nobody posts their tests there.

Majority of those are also high-end tier of PC, so don't expect too much.

>Is there a working/promising xbox emu yet?

>I think there is one, but I forgot it's name.

there is but development is slower than molasses in winter. The guy developing also kinda a fag, he designed it to specifically not work with windows 7 so you have to us either 8.1 or 10 and he says he won't make a Linux version until development is "far enough along" which at this pace will be somewhere in 2030. Right now his primary goal is getting Sonic 2006 to run perfectly.

>>14346327

>On the site compatibility's list most games are great or perfect

None of the games run perfectly. Every single one of them suffers from audio popping because the audio emulation is horrible.

The compatibility list is essentially propped up by retards with really low standards who think that a game that requires you to use a save file to skip a section to avoid a crash is "great" or even "perfect"

>>14350006

>As a first year CS student can you explain why it wouldn't be possible in python?

No one has that autism to actually write that in Python.

Besides for that kind of applications C or C++ is way to go.

Almost all emulators are written with these.

>>14349998

because some faggot probably wrote them in a couple of minutes

>>14350006

python is interpreted which means it is slow as shit, and it's also a shit language.

>>14350195

These days they'd be written in Go.

>>14350006

C++ is preferable. But C# works fine for Unity, which isn't a bad platform for getting into game coding. If you're interested in actually making stuff and not just fucking around. If you want to just fuck around then C++ is perfect, because you'll learn the concepts better. But don't operate under the illusion that you'll be making any games in C++.

>>14350423

Like I mentioned, it depends if you want to actually makes games or not. If you want to fuck around with graphics and learn the fundamentals of how stuff works under the hood, then learning to do it in C++ is a good idea. But if you want to make actual games that other people can play, especially on your own, then Unity is a better idea. But with Unity, you won't learn as much game programming theory stuff, since it handles a lot of that automatically (like collision and making your own camera).

>>14350006

Java has been abused to make actual software so often that poor desperate faggots among the competent C++/assembler community have gone through the trouble to make some very sophisticated cached dynarec bytecode interpreters for it. Python coders are almost all sane enough to use it exclusively as a scripting, glue logic, and prototyping language (except in the server world, but almost all server software is absolute shit compared to any other types of software), so Python can't run as fast as Java. Also, since so many perverts abuse Java as a low-level language, it has a lot more libraries for such purposes.

Having a XDK doesn't help emulation.

Other XDKs exist and have been studied and dumped thoroughly.

Stop reposting the same shit everytime.

Still infuriating that some retard thought that was a good idea.

The XQEMU team doesn't progress because they're both busy documenting the system (xboxdevwiki) and not very active to begin with, right now it boots most games but runs too slow (interpreter + single thread SW renderer) and has little to no sound emulation.

CXBX-R is worked on by a bunch of amateurs that are trying to unfuck a legacy codebase that has been gangbanged to death by an assortment of more or less (generally less) competent devs since 2004, shit will take years, if you want an idea of what kind of progress they made look at the game compatibility list (https://github.com/Cxbx-Reloaded/game-compatibility/issues) and filter with the corresponding labels, anything mentioning, LTCG in the issue means it's gonna take way longer to happen, and if you're wondering yes this is the most compatible a CXBX fork has ever been.

>>14364710

That's a really old incident Anon.

>>14366787

"he designed it to specifically not work with windows 7 and won't make a Linux version" is a bit of an exaggeration. Specifically what he did was write the entire thing around D3D12, which is of course exclusive to Windows 8+/XBox. Expanding it to other platforms would require a port to Vulkan.

The original idea was to concentrate on attaining feature completeness, which seemed like a good approach when Xenia was beating the shit out of every other 7th-gen emulator in terms of progress at lightning speed. But then development slowed down, RPCS3 & Cemu pulled ahead of it to become actually enjoyable to play with, and now his lone wolf approach is failing to bear fruit.

>>14367638

>Specifically what he did was write the entire thing around D3D12

Why would somebody go out of their way to say something this pointless and dumb instead of keeping it to themselves?

>>14373313

OpenGL is still being updated (version currently under development is 4.7) as a subset of Vulkan, when less flexibility is needed. In fact, as a former Macfag, something even higher level than OpenGL to act as a standard scenegraph API like the RAVE/QuickDraw3D split would still be highly useful for many applications.

Things aren't deprecated when you don't like them anon, they're deprecated when they don't receive any more support.

And regardless of your opinions on it pretty much every good renderer in emulators out there is OpenGL, and when a Vulkan one is present it's always a tradeoff between more speed for less stability.

>Speaking of BrokenGL I'm running an i5 6600k @ 4.5GHz 16Gb with a GTX1080 and getting as low as 1.5FPS in CEMU

>>14383192

>Speaking of BrokenGL I'm running an i5 6600k @ 4.5GHz 16Gb with a GTX1080 and getting as low as 1.5FPS in CEMU.

I bet you didn't know that game devs can't write proper OpenGL code, so that's why you have "optimized drivers". That's why you consistently get +20% performance gains in AAA-games when you update your crusty old video driver to a new one that detects what game/engine is running and then enables (otherwise unsafe!) optimizations for that particular render code. Then there's also fast-path and slow-path.

Game devs consistently write non-conforming graphics code and players expect nothing less than bug-free top performance and and then drivers are blamed when it's slow or it crashes.

But just because your shitty (closed source) emulator with it's shitty plebbit/NeoFAG community isn't conformingly using OpenGL and gets shitty performance on your flagship GPU doesn't make the API used inherently bad. How about it's just either a bad implementation or a garbage emulator?

Just because I call glBegin()/glEnd() for each vertex doesn't mean the API stinks, it means I'm using it wrong. Granted, OpenGL has about 20 years of legacy it's dragging around, but hey, it gets around, it does it's job with a little creakin' and elbow grease. That's something you can't control from an emulator, you can't control when and how an emulated game is going to paint it's textures. That's why plenty of emulators have game-specific code to fix otherwise garbage performance due to illogical function calls to the graphics layer and what have you because the hardware is completely foreign to x86, PCH and PCI-e graphics.

tl;dr: fucking devs can't write graphics code, emulators can't think because it's not logical, OpenGL isn't that bad, Vulkan is the future and you and pretty much everyone in this thread don't know jack shit.

inb4 immediate mode isn't supported anymore, you don't know what you're talking about. Get the fuck out.

OpenGL isn't deprecated because it's currently used to maintain compatibility with current software using OpenGL, the end goal is to replace it with Vulkan.

Obviously you wouldn't stop maintaining your current graphics API before your new standard gets decent adoption rates and implementation. Vulkan isn't made by Microsoft afterall.

>>14389810

If the new standard hasn't taken over yet and the old standard is still developed and maintained it doesn't fit the definition of deprecation and no amount of incorrectly quoting a dictionary will change that.

OpenGL is not considered obsolete yet, it currently exists side by side with Vulkan as two separate APIs. There aren't people directing anybody away from OpenGL.

As it stands OpenGL is far a more mature API and will most likely continue to be used until support is intentionally ended or Vulkan offers some serious benefit that is worth the cost in adopting a new API.

Oh sorry. I was pretty tired when I posted and I must have gotten the games mixed up in my head. Anyway, I tried emulating Persona 2 IS for psx and I'm getting a strange glitch where the player sprite disappears when in some areas and the camera's off-center. If I can't find a fix I'll emulate the PSP version, even though after looking around it seems the remake is considerably easier than the original.

Its not like performance is a major issue at this point, its going to be shit anyway. Emulating correct enough that anything runs without crashing right away is much more important.

>>14393052

>Does it really matter what language emulators are written in when they are this early stage?

Yes, the more popular language used in writing emulator is equal to higher chances to get more contributors and probably will be done faster.

At least it was true on open-source emulators for older consoles.

>>14393270

>Yes, the more popular language used in writing emulator is equal to higher chances to get more contributors and probably will be done faster.

From what I've seen the pace of development is mostly influenced by the lead dev and his level of activity and competence.and there's rarely someone to keep it going once the lead fucks off and that's where project enter the "janitor team" phase.

>>14393052

C# programs do not make code the machine can run directly. It generates intermediate code, which a C# interpreter then handles and converts into machine code. It's actually extremely similar to Java, where a program is compiled to architecture neutral instructions and then an interpreter handles those unique instructions and converts them into something that can run on a machine.

C# is slower than native C or C++. It's (sometimes) faster than java, and much faster than Python. If someone makes an emulator in something that doesn't compile to machine code, and has to be interpreted, and the emulator will be highly demanding (java NES emulators are actually kind of cool since they can run on so many different machines), it's bullshit.

That Switch emulator has every sign of a hipster or retarded pajeet.

Here's some benchmarks that compare the same program for C# and one for C/C++

https://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u64q/compare.php?lang=csharpcore&lang2=gpp

C# is generally two to three times slower than C/C++. C# is usually a bit faster than Java, but it's can be faster sometimes. Anyone who uses something besides a low level language to write an emulator is bullshit and the project will die in a few weeks or a few months.

So I'm trying out mednafen because I was having problems with pcsxr. It's working pretty well, but I'm getting some bad audio crackling that I can't seem to fix. Interestingly the fast-forward key fixes the sound crackling, but the playback speed fucks up. On linux using alsa if it helps.

>>14395194

I have both pulseaudio and alsa, mednafen only supports alsa I think. It's really dumb because with pcsxr I was getting graphical issues, with mednafen they're fixed but then the audio is shit. Just can't win.

Where is that screenshot from?

>>14395209

Mednafen should have better audio than PCSXR, are you able to run it at full speed?

>>14395194

What's wrong with ALSA (other than no per-application volume adjust)? For me, it just werks.

>>14395165

Try changing the sound driver line to sdl in the config.

Search for:

< ;Select sound driver.

< sound.driver sdl

and make sure it looks like that.

>>14395215

Getting about 45fps. If I had to guess my problem's related to video/audio sync issues?

What are my options for dreamcast emulation?

I've never done it before but my CRT died and I can't enjoy my dreamcast on an HD TV.

>>14395278

sounds like your CPU is too weak for mednafen

You could try running epsxe through WINE

>>14395286

Demul is the only dreamcast emulator worth using but its windows only.

>>14395277

No change, unfortunately.

>>14395312

>>14395329

Well that sucks. I'll try out epsxe then.

>>14395345

You could try Beetle PSX HW through Retroarch. It might run better than standalone.

Citra unofficial build thread on GBAtemp

Is there a single decent 3DS game worth playing besides Etrian Oddisey or Rune Factory?

>>14395395

Monster Hunter 3U and 4U.

>>14395395

All the layton games

>>14395405

Those games are terrible, with a completely broken camera, unresponsive controls and mindless grinding game play.

I feel like OP's pic "works" because people are becoming more and more anti-social

>Oh man, playing a videogame in public? There's the off-chance you won't turn off the sound and so its presence will be perceptible to another person. Could you imagine the embarrassment when they turn around and ask "Could you turn that down please?"

>>14395552

I'd agree with you if you were talking about the first game, but the controls and camera aren't ever a problem for the rest of the series. It's also easy to assume the gameplay is mindless grinding when all you do is get better gear to hunt harder monsters, but the game isn't completely reliant on gear, and you can get through the games only going through three armor sets. The real fun is getting good and actually feeling yourself progress when you can spin circles around monsters that used to beat the shit out of you.

>>14346327

First time I played it would at least play the first Senran game (with awful audio popping at 5 fps). Last few times I tried with newer versions it wouldn't even start the game.

>>14392780

It really doesn’t matter the difficulty of the game. You’re going to end up having heaps of exp due to all of the fights you’ll be getting into in both versions.

>>14395395

Link Between Worlds was pretty decent.

>>14393336

I am aware of that, but I don't feel it matters for any project so early in the emulation cycle. Simply having the correct behavior, even if way too slow is the first step to go for. The language does not matter too much. And as >>14393321 said, the most important thing is that the guy keeps working on it until it takes off or provides a good enough basis for other emulators.

>>14397524

Why even bother coding something that goes to the trash later anyways ? Seems like a waste of time if you have to start over again at some point.

>>14398090

>Why even bother coding something that goes to the trash later anyways?

Practice. Besides majority of programs that newbie coders do, end up in trash anyway.

>>14398409

Nice, thank you for this.

>>14396724

Ended up playing the remake on PPSSPP, thanks anon.

Anybody know good settings for Dark Cloud? Also does playing it from my disk affect performance or should I make an ISO out of it?

>>14404185

>Anybody know good settings for Dark Cloud?

I didn't play very far into it but OGL doesn't have much issues outside of 2D elements kinda borking at higher internal resolution.

>Also does playing it from my disk affect performance or should I make an ISO out of it?

Yes, never play from disks.

>>14404185

Dark cloud is pretty CPU intensive.

Also get a bugfix romhack if you aren't playing the PAL release.
