no$gmb?

>>15110906

do you have any screenshots?

>>15110929

That second interface looks slightly familiar. Do you have any screenshots without the debug interface? Just the internal GUI

I just used VGB-DOS os a GB emulator in the mid nineties, and if you wanted a menu, you had to code that shit yourself as a frontend.

>>15111766

Wait, is there an "illegal" way of emulating? here is the thing, back then there was this loophole or whatever you may call it, I can buy the games but I am in no way obligated to play them on the console (Bleemcast vs Sony.)

>>15111766

you can't illegally emulate something, you dip

>>15111932

No. Closest it gets is to BIOS which are copyrightd software.

>>15111956

I mean, that was the precedent in Sony vs Bleemcast, which the later won.

>pokemon

I cannot see the appeal. Every time I have played it I get a handful of mons and dispatch them so they can counter whatever they're fighting and one hit kill every time. Where is the fun? I have no idea why everyone defaults to pokemon whenever they emulate game boys. Sure it's the biggest name title but it isn't good. I played Riviera the Promised Land a shittonne and enjoyed that when I was emulating GBA. Probably the most complex gameboy game I've ever played. Haven't played many though.

>>15112119

Not every game is for everyone man.

Is that a literal fucking HDD ransom?

>>15111932

If you pirate the software and emulate that then technically it's illegal, but it's more a piracy violation then one of emulation.

Also downloading a BIOS file is technically illegal, but there's also the massive grey area where technically bios files in general would be identical to each other so legally they could never prove that you didn't rip your own BIOS file, which despite how badly companies want it to be, isn't illegal.

>>15111766

Checked, nice bait

>>15112278

He's German, so he's probably Jewish.

>>15111766

The current switch piracy firmware bricks your console if you pirate it.

Fucking pSX is black fucking magic.

Shit works on machines without video-cards with potato processors and shit.

>>15112894

psX was always hacked together trash. Fucker always crashed playing SOTN.

>>15112909

Don't get me wrong, every other emulator is much better than it, specially on the compatibilty department.

But it's a marvel that it actually works on those toasters where the other emulators barely run the GUI.

I was there when the emulation scene began, back in the 90s. Everyone in IRC was kissing this one dev's ass up and down because he made an emu he called VirtualSuperMagicom. The damn thing didn't work, but it could, kind of show a rom's intro, though it was corrupted to fuck and ran at maybe 1 FPS. Then that one faggot Marat released iNES and tried to charge people for it, and the fucking thing couldn't run at full speed. Then vNES (I think that's what it was called) was released for DOS and did run roms at full speed.

I learned that emulation was here to stay, and that there was no upper limit to which sycophants would virtually suck some dev's dick in order to curry favor.

>>15112983

Sounds like nothing's changed other than patreon neetbux coming onto the scene.

>>15112997

To be honest that it is a good thing for emulation really. Open source faggots take years to do anything(take PCSX2 10 years and it is still shit) and they pitch a fit if you say anything with such gems as

>I have a life

>Make your own then

But even if you try to fork their shit they will pitch a fit about that as well, "their project" is what they mean. Open source rules don't mean much to them.

Where as a project funded on patreon gets better every month. And the Devs have to be upfront with most people.

>>15113017

>Where as a project funded on patreon gets better every month.

Cemu devs get out. I still haven't forgotten how you tried to kike the dolphin team.

>>15113017

CEMU is kind of decent, but I prefer my emulators to be open-source. That way they'll run on literally anything with enough horsepower to emulate the console well.

>>15112997

I don't really keep up with the dev drama and shit anymore, just the end product, so I'll take your word for it. The funniest thing was that when someone actually paid for iNES and then released it for everyone to download, the dev threatened legal action even though the NES was still somewhat alive at that point and he didn't have a legal leg to stand on. Funny shit.

>>15113019

>how you tried to kike the dolphin team.

But it is open source right? we should all share right?

>>15113042

OH MY GOD THAT'S FUCKING SURREAL. And I also remember Pasofami, and it wasn't fucking difficult to use. I also see that he's still trying to fucking license the source.

>>15111766

>illegal emulation

If they're just straight up stealing code then yes, but otherwise emulation is perfectly legal.

>>15112983

iNES for Linux and Unix was free to download back then. I grabbed it along with MAME and some other emulators since there were hardly any games for Linux at the time.

>>15113036

I also want to know.

>>15110929

Wait he charges money for that? Then who the fuck is the guy hosting all the no$ emulators for free but asks for donations instead? Somebody else?

>>15113151

I remember that, yeah. Linux was kind of popping off as far as emulators goes. But it was still WAY way off from normal end-usage, so people largely had to depend on Win 3.11 and DOS 6.

Do you remember that feeling when first discovering about emulation and/or torrents?

A whole new world opened up for me. It felt magical and exciting as fuck.

>you mean I can download any game I want for free?

As a kid this blew my mind.

>>15116131

>finally get pc in early 2000's around the age of 13

>friend directs me to emuparadise and visualboy advance

>"metroid fusion"? "castlevania"? what are those?"

I had a pretty fucking good ass time i tell you what.

>>15113042

Didn't Nesticle come before this shit?

>>15116131

Yes, I remember distinctly being a poorfag 14 year old and finding out about VBA, PJ64, ZSNES, epsxe, Nestopia, Fusion, and doing what everyone did at the time - seeing how far they could go. Trying out Xeon, PCSX2, Dolphin, Yabause, NullDC, Chankast and Reicast, finding out none of the latter ones worked well at all, just playing 2D games or at best PS1, rediscovering original hardware and how much better it is years down the line, rediscovering how good CRTs looked, and so far I never looked back. Interesting how that all works.

>>15118218

I'm pretty sure nesticle was the first fairly functional NES emulator. It was the only NES emulator my computer could run at the time.

This thread reminded me of how when pokemon came out kids at school were exchanging floppy disks with pokemon and a gameboy emulator. I don't recall the name of the emulator but it had a purple GBC as an icon. I got a copy of one too but the problem was that it didn't save, so I had to start my games from scratch every time I played. I went through the intro of pokemon TCG so many times that the whole thing has been burned into my mind. Finally getting an emulator that could save was such a big deal.

>>15113036

>>15113153

They tried to sign them into a contract that would have forced unstable builds into being exclusive to patrons, in exchange for codemonkeys.

I bet your emulator doesn't even bleed. I honestly don't remember the audio being this bad, maybe I just listened to music instead.

>>15118332

That sure is something.

>>15118364

Sure is. Just tried a later version in DOSBox, still sounds a bit drunk but not as bad. It's Genecyst, by the way.

>>15118241

I certainly remember using an early version of dolphin in 2010 or so that barely ran Mario Sunshine. The only audio was in the cutscenes but even then it skipped and glitched heavily. As far as I remember it ran at like 20-25 FPS, but I think that was probably more down to me only being able to find the PAL version online rather than an emulator or hardware issue. I wonder if dolphin will still run on a core 2 quad?

I'm pretty sure I ended up with a weed lmao hack of SM64 as well. **and a copy of toad's tool"

>>15118332

Nigga, you don't even know the half of it. My NES emulator had a cock as its cursor.

>>15112176

looks like it was made by a schizophrenic

>>15111766

>implying there are any laws against emulation

>implying copyright laws protect reverse-engineering

>>15118364

Didn't someone put that song into the /v/ RPGmaker game?

>>15110892

you might be thinking of BGB

>>15110929

Fucking hell i remember this shit on Win 98, thank you for the nostalgia. Never payed shit for this though, thank god

>>15122357

>>15118694

You idiot, it wasn't a cock.

It was a pair of balls. It was called NESticle. Seriously

>>15118264

I used to take floppy discs to the public library to stock up on roms 'cause my old ass computer didn't have an internet connection.

Anyone remembers an old Master System emulator that woould set to fullscreen mode by default and had several sega themed wallpapers?

>>15123371

Holy shit anon me too. I would get first gen pokemon games and old shitty hackroms and rush home excited as hell to try them, I had a gameboy though but emulating was more fun.
