How far along is Vita3k? Does that also count as early in development or is it actually working yet.

anyone has a link to that region emulator that was better than applocale? it was posted last thread afaik

Does anyone know how to run dlc on citra? I know you have do some sort of patching of the .3ds file so that it combines the .cia dlc into the .3ds game file but I don't have any idea how. I'm trying to play SMTIV Apocalypse on Citra but I'd really like to have the DLC for the fusions.

>>14791751

>this was a crash that has been happening since botw was playable on cemu and its never been fixed.

That is wrong, it was officially announced fixed by the CEMU devs many months ago. I hear using more than a single-core dynarec could introduce instability for shit like that but its never happened to me. Make sure the option "Full Sync at GX2DrawDone" is enabled. This is important

>>14791466

Nah, even if it did it's gonna be as useful as GBE for the GBA/GBC/GB, which is to say not at all, it's only claim to fame is that it supported HD sprite replacement first iirc.

>>14791825

>AMD has better low level drivers

No.

>and mantle was the foundation for vulkan

Doesn't stop them from not having good support for Vulkan either, granted no one really does and Nvidia is only marginally less shit at it.

>>14791558

Booted the first few games recently probably a year away from doing anything worthwhile

>>14791913

>No.

look up the difference in performance gains on dx12/vulkan vs dx11 on amd and nvidia.

>>14791927

Who knew that an API designed solely to alleviate shit drivers would help the manufacturer with the shitty drivers more than the other one.

>>14791938

AMDs drivers being bad is FUD spread by Nvidia and their journalists. Nvidia drivers tend to also be worse on average causing actual hardware failure. Got anything else to be wrong about faggot?

AMD also has their fair share of fuckups that even went as far as hardware damage, difference is even when it doesn't blow up it still doesn't work well.

>>14791977

>openGL

>not vulkan

cherry picked examples. NVidia gave Vista the reputation it had for being a massive piece of unstable shit when in reality it was just their shit drivers causing problems. I think that's a lot worse than AMDs poor support for an under-used API. If you want to pretend it's the same I'm OK with having a gulf between understanding the severity of issues. They aren't the same and just because they both have issues, doesn't mean one doesn't have worse issues. That's just being a retarded centrist.

>>14791989

Not to be a fence sitter but both of them are terrible. I think nvidia's "good driver" fame comes from the fact they have the least shit opengl drivers out, their drivers have actually useful and working options and I don't have an AMD GPU to to try these new crimson drivers on but jesus christ their old UI has got to be the worst piece of shitware to hit windows and that's an achievement that can't be accomplished by accident.

The average goy has been conditioned to eat up hardware deaths, look at all the consoletards that bought dozens of nuclear xbox 360s. But if something hits them constantly they might stand up to it, and every time someone tried to open catalyst control center it was a test of patience whereas nvidia's driver UI has just worked for its whole life.

By the way starting with kepler nvidia GPUs have started dying en masse after they turn 4 years old and both nvidia and news websites refuse to acknowledge it.

>>14792040

> I think nvidia's "good driver" fame comes from the fact they have the least shit opengl drivers out

Maybe in Emulation communities but that's a minority in PC gaming. Outside of PCSX2 and Dolphin the name OpenGL isn't exactly well known. Their "good driver" fame comes from FUD spread about AMD drivers being bad, so Nvidia's therefore must be good. When in reality they are constantly shitting out hotfixes, churning out drivers which brick hardware, and shifting blame and using sites they have their hands on like tom's and semiaccurate to push agenda.

>their old UI has got to be the worst piece of shitware to hit windows and that's an achievement that can't be accomplished by accident.

substantiate that because I've never had a problem using the old CCC, Nvidia's old control panel, or even the Matrox control panel before that. CCC and Nvidia's never had much of a difference between them. I've even heard this before but never anything significant and everything always seemed to work just fine.

> look at all the consoletards that bought dozens of nuclear xbox 360s

tens of millions of PCfags that eat up and vehemently defend god awful Nvidia GPUs which outsell console hardware in massive quantities. No one's gonna stand up to it.

>and every time someone tried to open catalyst control center it was a test of patience whereas nvidia's driver UI has just worked for its whole life.

You just double clicked on the icon in the task bar. I really need some specific issues with it. Maybe an article or something. Never had any issues.

>>14791989

>cherry picked examples

You're in an emulation thread, you can count the number of emulators that have an usable Vulkan renderer on one hand you can even reduce that number by a bit if you're actually looking at which ones are actually usable, meanwhile OpenGL is used by the vast majority, granted most don't render 3D rendering the API moot for the most part unless you're looking for very tight latency.

> I think that's a lot worse than AMDs poor support for an under-used API. If you want to pretend it's the same I'm OK with having a gulf between understanding the severity of issues.

LTS is generally better with AMD but they're absurdly slow at fixing the most mundane issues, how many years did the sporadic corruption on the desktop/cursor persist.

And with the generally poor performance level of their drivers as well as the slow release cycle it's a given that they actually are more stable.

And if somehow you don't think performance is worse, ask yourself this, why is it that in every benchmark that doesn't rely on the driver AMD pulls ahead but whenever the driver is involved it falls way back down, PROTIP: shit drivers gonna shit

>that's a minority in PC gaming

Every single new release has issues on AMD, every single one of them be it poor performance, poor fluidity or actual graphical issues.

>"But no one gives a fuck about AAA games"

Well if you're gonna talk about the minority guess you shoudl be reminded that people playing those are the majority

>When in reality they are constantly shitting out hotfixes, churning out drivers which brick hardware

Well duh if you release more drivers more often there's bound to be less testing and more issues it's like comparing Debian and Arch

That's not to say Nvidia's driver are perfect, but I've used them for years and the only outstanding issues I've had was systemwide freezing / driver crashes caused by firefox quantum multiprocessor mode, some pretty heavy graphical corruption in most games way back in the XP days with the early 7xxx drivers, the control panel having an irrestible urge to rescan my whole fucking hard drive array everytime I opened it for a while around tghe 29x/3xx drivers and Kepler being a shit at everything.

>embed

Should have known it was that fucking britbong, is that the video where he gloats about newer AAA games using Denuvo because Ryzen is better at crypto or the one where he glosses over every single drivers and hardware fuckups from AMD while being very insistent on the ones caused by Nvidia?

iirc in one of his vids he even invokes high failure rate on the PS3 as a proof of Nvidia being shit, but spoiler, the x360 had the same abysmal failure rates and it had an AMD GPU in truth neither was really the fault of the GPU itself even if it was the first thing to give but mostly came from the shitty CPU arch (basically worse than early Pentium 4 in every way) and the shitty thermal design which was shared across the two consoles

>>14792079

>meanwhile OpenGL is used by the vast majority [of emulators]

pretty pathetic considering it's entirely deprecated. If they cared they would move on to newer APIs that actually have a future instead of sticking to dead ones because ???

>how many years did the sporadic corruption on the desktop/cursor persist.

dunno, never saw it in 10 years using AMD/ATi GPUs. Link me to proof.

>And with the generally poor performance level of their drivers

Nah, their GPUs are underperforming but AMD has even given extended life to their GPUs from 2012 with Crimson, Adrenalin and ReLive. Nvidia meanwhile has historically crippled performance in older hardware to cause forced obsolescence and goad customers to upgrade, and they've been doing that since the early 2000's.

>why is it that in every benchmark that doesn't rely on the driver AMD pulls ahead but whenever the driver is involved it falls way back down

>no source

ok.

>Every single new release has issues on AMD

Most often due to developers themselves as they are the ones that end up patching it and getting it fixed. Tomb Raider comes to mind, especially with Ryzen.

>Well duh if you release more drivers more often

Hotfixes aren't drivers, they're hotfixes to address issues. There's a lot of issues so there's a lot of hotfixes.

>Should have known it was that fucking britbong

He's Scottish.

> is that the video where he gloats about newer AAA games using Denuvo because Ryzen

look at the thumbnail, it's about Nvidia drivers, you know, what was being discussed in the thread.

>Ryzen is better at crypto

yeah, turns out more cores matters these days. Has for a while now.

>where he glosses over every single drivers and hardware fuckups from AMD while being very insistent on the ones caused by Nvidia?

It's weird how he can spend a year shitting on Vega, calling it an underwhelming disaster and point out how it's over-priced and under-performing and still getting beat by relatively ancient Nvidia GPUs yet still be considered someone who glosses over AMDs issues. Sounds like the bias is with you.

>basically worse than early Pentium 4 in every way

Nothing is worse than early P4, Netburst to Cedar Mill were all remarkably poor.

>>14792097

>pretty pathetic considering it's entirely deprecated. If they cared they would move on to newer APIs that actually have a future instead of sticking to dead ones because ???

It's pointless to move onto something new unless you need it, OGL 4.x with AZDO is good enough performance wise and more stable thus making it a better choice than Vulkan right now.

>dunno, never saw it in 10 years using AMD/ATi GPUs. Link me to proof.

Search for "AMD graphical corruption desktop cursor site:community.amd.com" results from 2013 to 2017

>ok.

Just look at compute heavy benches vs actual games benches, just looking at emulation the old ParaLLEl renderer that used compute shaders would run significantly better on my 7950 than on my 770 and those cards are pretty close to each other in other benches

>Most often due to developers themselves as they are the ones that end up patching it and getting it fixed.

Silly devs trying to use features that are advertised as supported by AMD when they really aren't.

>Hotfixes aren't drivers, they're hotfixes to address issues.

>anon discover rolling release

>There's a lot of issues so there's a lot of hotfixes.

There's more releases with less time to test them so there's more issues that fall through, but hey a slower release cycle shouldn't have hotfixes every other releases, well not for AMD apparently.

>look at the thumbnail, it's about Nvidia drivers, you know, what was being discussed in the thread.

He always go on a tangent about how everyone not AMD is bad so I wouldn't know

>yeah, turns out more cores matters these days. Has for a while now.

Clock to clock on a single core Ryzen is still better at crypto than intel, besides that wasn't the point I was trying to make.

>It's weird how he can spend a year shitting on Vega

Well yeah you can't ignore a shitstorm of that proportion even if the blame isn't fully on AMD but rather the buttcoin mining bubble and AMD tacitly encouraging it VEGA in itself is just fine as an architecture see 2400/2200G, but for example notice how in that video he claims AMD never had hardware failure from drivers, but completely glosses over the fact that the RX 480 launch exists, you know the one that had GPUs frying mobos and was fixed in a driver update, granted it wasn't frying the GPU so he's technically right.

>Nothing is worse than early P4

The Cell / Xenon arch is, look at it this way the early PS3 had a 480w PSU, that was just barely enough to keep the console working, and that was using 90nm which was far better than whatever the P4 were using, all to have an IPC that was worse than Willamette (using the PS3 as a reference the PPU without SPUs itself barely beat a 2.2Ghz P4)

OpenGL will likely be around long after other APIs have been forgotten. You can also get drivers for it for anything made in the last 30 years, it works on all operating systems, mobile devices, many embedded devices, and it even works to a limited degree in web browsers. And it works fine - Doom 2016 was widely praised for cutting-edge graphics and uses OpenGL.

Even if Vulkan was a huge success we'd still be at least a decade away from there being sufficient support to bother with it. And I don't think it's been very successful.

>>14792172

> And I don't think it's been very successful.

Actually it probably has more games using or supporting it than modern OGL ever had

>>14792147

>It's pointless to move onto something new unless you need it

I'd say a notable performance bump, less issues, and better support as well as being able to cater to a sizable demographic is enough to justify it. Haven't Dolphin, PPSSPP, RPCS3, CEMU began supporting it? More than enough reason.

>AMD graphical corruption

neat, had never had an issue with an x1650, 4770 or 7850. Looks like it's been addressed?

>Silly devs trying to use features that are advertised as supported by AMD when they really aren't.

Give examples. Ashes of the Singularity was addressed, tomb raider was addressed, I'm sure many others have been taken care of too. It's mostly an issue with how PC game development works, only so many resources can be spared by both developer and GPU manufacturer before release to get things working as smoothly as possible. Nvidia being possibly the biggest computer tech company in the world can easily afford this. Not ideal, but it's how things are.

>He always go on a tangent about how everyone not AMD is bad so I wouldn't know

He focuses more on the relationship between manufacturers and the press works, between other OEMs and uses news articles to come to conclusions after aggregating information. I take it you've never actually watched anything by him? He spends plenty of time pointing out AMDs issues but it might surprise you: AMD is only one player in the industry and everyone else does a lot of dirty things. Intel and Nvidia especially.

>it wasn't frying the GPU so he's technically right.

Yep, perhaps you should ask him why in his video about Nvidia he didn't mention AMD. Almost like that's the point and there's other videos where he points out AMD's dirty tricks like way back with the Quack3 fiasco.

>The Cell / Xenon arch is

definitely not.

>look at it this way the early PS3 had a 480w PSU, that was just barely enough to keep the console working

380W and it's draw was usually about half that (170-200W) https://web.archive.org/web/20070217102706/http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/av/docs/20061111/ps3.htm

>all to have an IPC

Irrelevant, the entire architecture is designed for multithreaded environments. Pentium 4's were not, one could argue with very few exceptions multiple cores barely mattered in PC as a whole until fairly recently.

>>14792225

Not to mention fantastic cross platform support, especially for emulators on mobile devices.

>>14792311

>I'd say a notable performance bump

Sometimes, mainly if you're limited by drawcalls, not always the case in emulation.

> less issues

t.nodev

Constantly changing driver and support level, most of the API isn't set in stone and if you have a problem there's probably a handful of people who could help you at all on earth.

>Looks like it's been addressed?

It better be after 4 years

>Give examples.

Just look at the RPCS3 github repo, tell me how many times AMD workaround pops up, and pretty much every-time it's because something that should work doesn't., or when cotra devs used something that was part the official docs but AMD told them "It's ambiguous so we won't fix"

I can't prove for sure the issue is the exact same with AAA devs but it's reasonable to think they would encounter similar issues to open source devs.

>Yep, perhaps you should ask him why in his video about Nvidia he didn't mention AMD

I must have dreamed the segment at 9:44-10:53 where it's all about AMD then

Must've also dreamed the quote at 12:18 "AMD never killed any graphics cards" which is probably technically correct, most of the hardware defaults in AMD cards were from shitty manufacturers rather than actual faults from AMD (Sapphire and the bad caps in HD7XXX for example), doesn't stop them from having done at-least one massive blunder in design.

> I take it you've never actually watched anything by him?

I watched just about two videos of him, I don't really wanna hear more of his opinions, since he can't prevent himself from being heavily biased towards AMD.

>Irrelevant, the entire architecture is designed for multithreaded environments

And it was still power hungry and heated like crazy despite being a 1 core CPU with some sized down coprocessors instead of a full on 8 core CPU, on top of only being any good at workstation worloads.

>Not to mention fantastic cross platform support, especially for emulators on mobile devices.

Oh boy, you've never gazed into the hellish abyss that is driver support on mobile devices have you, makes AMD seems perfect in comparison.

But hey you'll be able to play Skylanders with the next version aren't you excited?

*needs actual toys, toys not provided

>>14792513

Aren't the toys just feeding some sort of code to the machine? Why would you need the toy when you can simply spoof the emulator into thinking you have the toy? Or are the CEMU devs such cucks they aren't allowing things like that?

>>14792528

>Or are the CEMU devs such cucks they aren't allowing things like that?

Dunno but apparently the current working implementation uses the real thing and it's unclear whether he's gonna change that.

But ultimately it's probably not hard to spoof since it's just an NFC usb reader and some NFC tags.

>>14792477

>Sometimes

definitely a performance boost on AMD.

>Just look at the RPCS3 github repo, tell me how many times AMD workaround pops up

Probably plenty of times, but that's why I told you to give me examples. I look up AMD and see 176 closed issues, I look up Nvidia and I see 276 closed issues. For good measure I punched in Intel and got 212 closed issues. I search for workarounds and get 1 result for AMD in code, and it's actually an Intel work around in the comment. Provide examples of what you're talking about because I'm getting nothing here and along with your dishonesty or earlier mistakes I'm not putting much weight into what you're saying.

>I can't prove for sure the issue is the exact same with AAA devs but it's reasonable to think they would encounter similar issues to open source devs.

They do, and they usually fix it on their end in a patch. Usually after release but I already explained why that is.

>Must've also dreamed the quote at 12:18 "AMD never killed any graphics cards" which is probably technically correct

It sure is.

>doesn't stop them from having done at-least one massive blunder in design.

It wouldn't surprise me, the HD2000 series was incredibly poor but that's performance, not design failure. Afraid I can't think of anything like a GPU being desoldered, something that affected several generations of Nvidia GPU.

>I watched just about two videos of him, I don't really wanna hear more of his opinions, since he can't prevent himself from being heavily biased towards AMD.

Good news is that he's not. Feel free to correct your misinterpretation at any time, until then I suggest abandoning your current view to save yourself from a future need for correction.

>And it was still power hungry

200W peak isn't exactly power hungry. It's like low end office PC tier and its performance was definitely beyond what those were doing.

>despite being a 1 core CPU

and a PS2, and an Nvidia GPU. Be a little more accurate so I don't have to accuse you of being dishonest.

>>14792553

>definitely a performance boost on AMD.

Again, if you rely less on drivers and have shit drivers the jump is bound to be higher, if anything the more you insist on that point the more you undermine the idea that AMD drivers aren't shit.

>Probably plenty of times, but that's why I told you to give me examples. I look up AMD and see 176 closed issues, I look up Nvidia and I see 276 closed issues

And this is how I know you haven't actually looked properly, spoiler, issues have tags, use them.

Also this one has some tasty bits.

>with your dishonesty or earlier mistakes I'm not putting much weight into what you're saying.

Pot calling the kettle black

>They do, and they usually fix it on their end in a patch. Usually after release but I already explained why that is.

Driver issues should be fixed by the drivers, not by the devs working around the issues.

>It sure is.

Yeah better go a step above and fry the rest of the computer non one will suspect the GPU

>not design failure

>poor design leading to poor performance isn't design failure

Really activates those almonds

>Good news is that he's not

He's just as much as you, no wonder you can't see it.

>200W peak isn't exactly power hungry

It's basically the power usage of a mid to high range PC range (according to my UPS I use 175-215w on load on a 4790k+GTX1070 and about 8 HDD) PC, when the PS3 just had a shitty CPU and a mid range GPU that didn't even have an additional power cord in it's desktop variant

>and a PS2, and an Nvidia GPU

The PS2 chips isn't used when you're not running any PS2 software (although I think the PPU+SPU do run when the console is running PS2 software, not sure would have to try and find that one page again), and neither it or the RSX are part of the same chip as the Cell BE, how about you stop being dishonest :^)?

>>14791981

I would do if you suck my dick.

>>14792097

>dunno, never saw it in 10 years using AMD/ATi GPUs.

I used AMD GPUs for 11 years straight. Around 2012 their drivers hit an absolute low point. I had artifacts on the desktop, broken hardware acceleration in Photoshop that managed to fuck up color rendering in doing so, and there was also a bug exclusive to my model of card that caused it to underclock itself randomly in games to try to save power, causing low FPS and stutter every time it dropped. I was so close to switching at that point, but instead I just kept filing bug reports and waited for it all to get fixed, which it eventually did.

Other than one minor video decoding bug that they still have after all these years, their drivers and software are probably the best they have ever been. Yeah they should still work to improve OpenGL, but that only seems to matter for emulation and Linux, I've never had an issue playing OpenGL games in Windows.

I bought a used 1070 this month purely because I can't get my hands on a Vega 56 at any sort of half-reasonable price. It's kind of neat running PS2 games at crazy high resolutions via OpenGL with it, but I honestly don't care about it that much. Software rendering works perfectly for me under ordinary circumstances.

>>14792775

>I bought a used 1070 this month

>>14792807

ID change because phone posting, but it was $400 and yeah it was used for mining. I used to mine Litecoin in 2013/2014 on R9 280X cards, and despite putting them through absolute hell they all remain functional to this day and I've been gaming on them ever since. It wasn't until I started playing some Unreal 4 games that I started to feel the need for an upgrade. I really wanted Vega 56 but the partner cards got heavily delayed and then completely fucked over in price and availability.

The guy I bought it from kept his operation temperature controlled and he undervolted the cards to reduce power consumption and heat, none of which I did to my poor 280X cards and yet they still live. Ultimately I just decided it was time to bite the bullet.

>With newer kernel releases, switching to the AMDGPU DRM driver is as easy as booting with amdgpu.si_support=1 radeon.si_support=0

So this does not work? It seemed to for him on kernel 4.14. If not it's a bug that should get fixed

>>14801639

It doesn't work. Either the author was already using a kernel that was compiled with GCN 1 support (which isn't going to be any mainstream generic kernel) or he's just not giving us the whole story. I have GCN 1 cards that I wanted to get working with GNU/Linux.

>>14799155

nowhere interesting, still can't actually play anything

>>14792565

So THAT'S the reason some games don't run too well on Dolphin when using vulkan?

>>14801864

No, pay attention to what I said, GX1, the Gamecubes API, isn't a subset of anything, so on paper Vulkan should be better for Dolphin or at least comparable to DX11. The reason its not is simply because implementing a new graphical API is hard work regardless

>>14801878

Fuck. I dun goofed.

I'm just wondering to myself why some game end up with a black screen when I switch over to Vulkan

Maybe you could help?

>>14801889

I think right now the particular hardware you're using also has a lot to do with it. I actually hear AMD is better at Vulkan in this case than Nvidia.

>>14801899

It is. Got an AMD card, for me vulkan works better than OpenGL at this point. This also counts for PPSSPP, Dolphin or a DS emulator running with RetroArch.

>>14801899

I was using OpenGL by the way, in the video. Though, if you have a solution for Vulkan, I'm all ears.

>>14801966

>I'm using an Adreno 630 from a Samsung Galaxy S9+

Best bet is to wait it out.

>>14801980

Yeah, android is the least optimized version of dolphin from what I hear. Though, I'm still grateful (and psyched) to play fucking gamecube games on the go.

>>14799066

I wanted to see how bad fates was for myself so i had to get an encrypted one with all the dlc and decrypt it myself.

Outside of the missing coop no one is gonna care about a handful of missing effects anon.

Besides seriously advocating for an FPS on controller over mouse is retarded.

I don't disagree with the XBOX being more than a Gaylo machine but the supposed superiority of the multiplats is vastly overblown.

>>14797740

>>14801580

it takes 12 minutes to compile the kernel and all required modules for my hardware on a CPU made in 2008

besides, most desktop distros have that kernel option set nowadays, you'll just have to change the boot parameter and the xorg config to switch from radeonsi to amdgpu

Sorry for the late reply, but Qualcomms drivers that ship with a lot of Android Stock ROMs has broken Vulkan support and a broken Z-buffer.

Try a custom ROM and pray it has newer drivers, that's your only hope

Sorry you were stuck with the shitty PS2 versions of Ghost Recon 2, Double Agent or the ability to implement custom soundtracks in your games.

>>14808384

The meme is that all of them are better and they're visibly not if you've went outside of the few ones touted by yourself and >>14808694 the vast majority of lesser known multiplats on the thing runs just the same, with tradeoffs (aka better framerate but missing other things) or even straight up worse sometimes.

Maybe if you actually tried something out of your comfort zone on that system you'd know, but then it's not like Metal Gear Solid 2 and Silent Hill 2 are really outside of anyone's comfort zone here.

>>14810486

Sorta, if you can run the OGL plugin (meaning Nvidia or AMD on linux) and the dev builds it's better than it was before, not by much but enough that opne could notice it.

If you have a 8700k you can just bruteforce everything with SW mode.

>B

Depends on what is in that computer if it's a Haswell or more recent i5 then you might have a chance if you're willing to make a few sacrifice in stability and glitches, otherwise no, especially if it's an AMD FX.

AMD GPUs might still fuck you over though, intel IGP is a definite no.

It's not even like I'm saying that the XBOX is shit and there's no reason to have one, I'm just saying that if you seriously think that every single multiplat on the thing is the definitive version you're gonna end up disappointed or delusional.

Not directly in this thread, but a couple people got extremely agitated when I pointed out it wasn't the case.

Good prep work for when I tackle the "Nvidia gimps older cards in newer drivers"thing.though.

>>14835155

I've only ever seen it mentioned with the caveat that it's most games, more than every other platform that the xbox version is the best version. It's stupid to get autistic over semantics like you did.

>Good prep work for when I tackle the "Nvidia gimps older cards in newer drivers"thing.though.

They always have and still do.

>>14835168

>it's most games

"Most" starts from 50% meaning that the statement is meaningless and it's apparently not the commonly held belief if you look at "98% anon"

>It's stupid to get autistic over semantics like you did.

There's no semantics, you can't claim something without proof and get butthurt when someone does the same thing except the claim contradicts yours.

And no ithe XBOX being the most powerful on paper doesn't mean it's automatically better, you could apply the same reasoning to PC which is far more powerful than the XBOX yet there's still a couple of games you're better off playing on the XBOX anyway.

>They always have and still do.

See how you extrapolate proofs to fit your opinion but in truth have actually no idea if they still do it or not?

Let's just say you're in for a surprise.

>>14835197

>"Most" starts from 50% meaning that the statement is meaningless

that's a lot of fucking multiplats for a pretty solid generation to say is meaningless. Really awkward goalpost shifting.

>it's apparently not the commonly held belief if you look at "98% anon"

debunking hyperbole sure is productive

> no ithe XBOX being the most powerful on paper doesn't mean it's automatically better

I don't think this, but plenty of devs found value in it and made better versions of games for this reason.

>you could apply the same reasoning to PC which is far more powerful than the XBOX

I've found the meme that PC ports are the best to be very unreliable in decades of PC gaming.

>See how you extrapolate proofs

Nah.

>>14835213

>that's a lot of fucking multiplats for a pretty solid generation to say is meaningless

If it was almost all of them I could just pick the XBOX version every time and guarantee myself it's good, If it's most but closer to half of them it means I actually have to look into it if I want to play the better version, thus people insisting it's the best are just trying to mislead other people into just using an XBOX for some reason.

>debunking hyperbole sure is productive

I wouldn't even be doing it if people had a rational reaction to me pointing that out, and yet here we are.

>I don't think this, but plenty of devs found value in it and made better versions of games for this reason.

I think at this point "dev intent" should be considered a logical fallacy in any emulation thread, or do tyurn that into a purple bricks/purple sky/8:7 tier shitflinging?

>I've found the meme that PC ports are the best to be very unreliable in decades of PC gaming.

See you're capable of critical thinking too.

>Nah.

Or not I guess.

>>14835238

>If it was almost all of them I could just pick the XBOX version every time and guarantee myself it's good

You said yourself it's more than any other platform.

>I think at this point "dev intent" should be considered a logical fallacy in any emulation thread

It's clear the audience doesn't care about it and fails to see value in it. Why, I don't know. It seems to me a way to cling to existing ways.

>See you're capable of critical thinking too.

I'm still waiting for you to impress me.

>>14835260

>You said yourself it's more than any other platform.

I haven't said such a thing, the only thing I ever said is that whatever was said about XBOX multiplat is overblown, I haven't denied there are cases where they're better either

>It's clear the audience doesn't care about it and fails to see value in it.

I fail to see how that has any relevance to me pointing out dev intent is a shit argument.

>I'm still waiting for you to impress me.

Likewise

>>14835287

>I haven't said such a thing

That's beautiful, it's like im really there

>>14835331

>No. It's short hand for "well they made it like this so I'll stick to it."

So you're conflating intent and the released product.

So yes it is still "my opinion except it sounds legitimate" and in this case your opinion is "well they made it like this so I'll stick to it."

theres no excuse to what nvidia has done since it was founded

go suck your green dick elsewhere

>>14835336

>So you're conflating intent and the released product.

Yeah, they released it as that. They're aware of most of the faults, failures and mistakes. Someone still had to set the font to what it is, and someone still had to make the menu cursor move the way it did. It sounds like you get upset when someone thinks it matters more than you do. How nice do your farts smell?

>>14835338

>If you think that gritty texture pack suits Mario 64, you can just fuck off.

Let me put it that way, the people who made SM64 also made SM64DS, so maybe they had the ability maybe they would have an equally shitty texture pack on the N64 release.

So yes the texture pack looks like shit, but it's still an opinion, one that doesn't need some bullshit excuse on top of it.

>>14835345

>Yeah, they released it as that. They're aware of most of the faults

So the released product isn't the actual intent, thanks for clarifying.

Yes the game as a whole is the dev intent for the most part, but you can't examine every single details of it technical or otherwise and say it's clearly developer intent.

>>14835358

>You ran out of arguments pretty quickly.

You never had one to begin with.

I'll stick by my original point.

Xbox multiplat aren't what they're hyped up to be by anons.

>>14835372

>developer intent exists, but I'll decide when it's REAL developer intent

lol this nigger right here, completely delusional.

>I'll stick by my original point.

yes lets go back to another argument for you to lose.

>Xbox multiplat aren't what they're hyped up to be by anons.

I don't care about popular opinion. For the most part, Xbox multiplats are the best ones to play. Verify it when you can emulate it, I doubt for some reason you even have access to an original xbox.

>>14835384

>lol this nigger right here, completely delusional.

I'm not the one pretending I know what other people thought when they made the game, but hey guess you wanna debate whether pretending to be omniscient is really being delusional too.

>yes lets go back to another argument for you to lose.

Yeah so you can go back to posting the same 3-5 games ad pretend like every other one is the same as that.

> Verify it when you can emulate it, I doubt for some reason you even have access to an original xbox.

So now you're back to being dismissive because I don't share your opinions, it goes without saying that I've actually played several multiplats on my XBOX before coming to that conclusion.

>>14835400

>>14835384

>developer intentions

For the SNES, 8:7 or 4:3? Some games have their assets altered for the 4:3 stretch, but most don't. ALttP has the logo corrected for 4:3, but the rest of the game just gets improperly stretched.

What is the universally correct answer?

>>14835417

4:3, Nintendo is just incompetent. There were no 8:7 displays so all the assets they made for 8:7 (mind you it's mostly Nintendo who did, everyone else corrected for it) were seen on 4:3 displays.

>>14835417

>What is the universally correct answer?

Whatever you prefer, takes 5 seconds to change worse case scenario, you're still fucked if the game only looks partially wrong to you with either of those but honestly who gives a fuck as long as it's not stretched to 16:9 or worse

>>14835411

Do it daddy

>Speak for yourself.

It's still only 9 games , and a couple of those were just better on PC, but at-least those aren't the usual suspects so that puts some actual weight behind your argument

And among those there's also an example of tradeoffs I was talking about, True Crime lack of building shadows on the streets despite it running smoother

So I'll name some shit that I played entirely or almost entirely (aka more than 15-20 minute to see if I liked it) on XBOX and can clearly say that it wasn't the uncontestable best version

>BG:DA 1 &2

It runs mostly the same except the color palette is a bit more muted on the XBOX, guess if you're using a LCD you want 480p but that's pretty much it

>Fatal Frame

more bugs, more framedrops than the PS2, the new HUD is questionable, the extra content is just okay

>NFS:HP2

It's a cut down PC port and the PS2 version exists

>Red Ninja

The controls on any XBOX controllers are just horrible granted it's not much better on PS2, downgraded geometry in a few places compared to the PS2 version, made to be played in 480i on XBOX or you get interlacing artefacts on a few effects

>GTA:SA

For all the fuss I've heard about the GTA3 having a few effects some people sure like to ignore the XBOX version of SA is missing all of them and better shadows and some geometry upgrades exclusive to it instead

>Spy Hunter

I think they just didn't give a shit about platforms that weren't the PS2

>Whiplash

Has bugged collectibles, will randomly crash entirely to be fair that might be one of those games that just doesn't like being played from HDD, has major framedrops like the PS2, supposedly has a worse control scheme but I wouldn't know *since I use a PS2 pad with my XBOX for anything that isn't racing or FPS

>Metal Arms: Glitch in the System

Had some weird as fuck tearing, just went back to the GC version since it runs the same in the same res, never touched the PS2 version.but supposedly it runs worse

>DOOM3

I mean sure it won't run the same on a similar PC so it's certainly impressive, but who didn't have an Athlon XP build by then, and who would seriously recommend an FPS on gamepad unless there's no other option.

And obviously I've already named MGS2 and SH2.

Then there's the long series of games that are just the PC ports with no upgrade unlike those already named (minus Max Payne 2 and Red Faction 2)

I'm pretty sure you could also take a look at all the shovelware and find a few that were ported like shit not counting those I already named

That's not to say I can't think of a few games where I wouldn't play anything but the XBOX version like Fatal Frame 2, Genma Onimusha, all 3 Dynasty Warriors, all the burnout games and BG&E the PC port was just that shit especially back then

>Of course shit like 360 and certain PC ports might look better.

I've seen people arguing the XBOX console version of a game was better purely because you couldn't widescreen the PC version, not without breaking a couple things at-least.

Still I don't see the argument here, the best version of a multiplat should include all versions within reason.

Instead of screaming at each other like autistic retards it could be more productive to actually try and start a list of multiplat from XBOX and which are better on it from those that aren't.

>Many essential PPSSPP features are only in the Gold version

>The Gold version costs money

Since when is this a thing and why is this considered acceptable?

>>14841932

The Gold version has no extra features minus the gold logo, at-least it didn't back in version 1.4.0

bump

Can any PC98 emulator be run headless? Running a GUI just to get into an emulator for old computers really, really irks me

>>14841932

Since never, fucktard, learn to read. kys

>>14841484

>It's still only 9 games

Out of those you posted, barely half of them fit the criteria of being best console port. You can stop shifting goalposts.

>Doom 3

Oh look, a game that can't even run on the PS2.

>Spy Hunter

>I think they just didn't give a shit about platforms that weren't the PS2

Nice explanation for being a self-proclaimed expert.

>Whiplash

>supposedly has a worse control scheme but I wouldn't know

Cute how you say I have no arguments that can't even fucking back up or own or provide evidence for them. And you not liking the Xbox controller isn't an argument

>Instead of screaming at each other like autistic retards

That wouldn't happen if you knew how to argue in the first place, retard.

>>14851308

Try SM 3D World or Wind Waker HD.

>discontinued

gah,that sucks

>>14851462

Has it really been discontinued? I still have it installed on my PC, I wonder if it will still work

>>14851467

What they say,there's workarounds but i'm weary of it

>>14851469

It still seems to work fine for me though. I wonder if I can just put the files in a zip and upload them somewhere

>>14851475

Go for it

>>14851280

> of them fit the criteria of being best console port

>You can stop shifting goalposts.

Oh right just like you're not doing by not trying to make that about best console ports instead of best multiplat.

>Oh look, a game that can't even run on the PS2.

Why are you so obsessed with the PS2?

It's on several platforms so it's a multiplat.

>Nice explanation for being a self-proclaimed expert.

I just runs like shit on anything that isn't a PS2 there's no particular explanation past that point

>Cute how you say I have no arguments

>And you not liking the Xbox controller isn't an argument

Hence why I said supposedly, I'm not using it as an argument because It's only things I've heard not experienced personally

>That wouldn't happen if you knew how to argue in the first place, retard.

Yeah I'm not gonna take advice on that from someone who can't go one line without ad hominem.

is it better to just emulate tony hawk games or play the ancient pc ports?

>>14853407

Depends which platform you're trying to emulate and what your PC is

The PS1 ones should be easy to emulate regardless

As for the PS2 ones some were broken in a bad way in PCSX2 last I tried,

The DC ports might emulate well but if they don't run in NullDC/Reicast/ReDream you're gonna have to use Demul which comes with it's own share of bullshit

You can refer to the dolphin wiki for the GC ports, but I recall those being way too slow to emulate on anything but a higher end desktop

Can't really reliably emulate the XBOX ports yet.

There's a decent sized community around the games even today so the PC ports shouldn't be impossible to run, just use PCGW as a guide and you should be good.

You'll still have to emulate the first one in some way if you wanna play it.

I thought he said he was leaving forever in 2017? He even had a thread where he attention whored about it. What a lolcow.

>>14851475

Anytime my man,i'm eager to play something with my ds4

Is there a reason the PPSSPP core for Retroarch plays like shit compared to normal PPSSPP?

>>14855565

Define "plays like shit"

If it's slower it's because they don't use MSVC to compile the core which makes it slower, although I'm pretty sure they solved that, could also be that you're using sync option that are very heavy without realizing.

If there's something broken that isn't on standalone that's because the PPSSPP core is lagging behind in updates

Other than that I don't see what could be your issue.

>>14851475

Yeah, mine works also. I think if you had it installed before a certain date it would work as it was supposed to

>>14795682

Can I have subtle memelins preset please

>>14865361

Easymode-halation with mask #3, rest defaults.

>>14865412

switch between the vulkan, opengl and dx11 backends

>>14865518

DX11 is working great, thanks.

>>14865464

Thx

>>14797754

Of all the great reasons to never play that shit, the damage numbers are probably the worst one.
