I know that console hardware is super secret and hard to reverse engineer but it's been over a decade and I would have thought that the PS2 and N64 emulation would have been near perfect by now. Is it even possible to achieve that? I'm very thankful for emulation because when the day comes that not a single retro console is alive and if we're not extinct it's good to have emulators even if they're not perfect.

>N64
Used an early programmable GPU, well over a decade before GPUs were programmable enough via Vulkan/DX12 to perfectly replicate its behavior in hardware acceleration. PC CPUs were also far too slow to emulate it entirely in software.
Ludicrous efforts such as Angrylion (software renderer) and CEN64 (cycle-accurate emulator) are soon set to deliver flawless N64 emulation, but at the cost of requiring absolute top-of-the-line CPUs to run in realtime. There was one very usable effort to GPU accelerate Angrylion by porting it to Vulkan called ParaLLEl, but it ceased development after a while.
>PS2
Essentially the only PS2 emulator of note, PCSX2, is also the among the first ever PS2 emulators. As a result, it is a hacky mess cobbled together to function on a mid-2000s PC, and in need of a ground-up rewrite to fully exploit modern PCs.

It's incredibly easy. Just download a PS1 BIOS from the Wiki, and follow the READ_ME located in the folder. For display, make sure that only "Use OpenGL" is checked and either "Nearest" (First and third image) or "Progressive" (Second and fourth image), and set "Display SKip" to "0". Controllers and the rest of it are pretty self-explanatory. If you need any additional help, just refer to the "Help" tab in the program or the Wiki page.

Set it to 4:3 and use the easymode shader customized to your liking. Overscan cropping needs to be set per game. Some games don't require any, most require around 8 pixels trimmed off the sides and bottom. Some games like mario 3 need at least 12 cropped off the right hand side.

Does the variable beam width also simulate the "blue architecture" of the game's background? That seems to be the biggest problem. Also, there may be more to it than just that since the "close-up" shots in the Metroid and Zelda 2 manual don't display a that look.

it's approximating the natural bloom of phosphor & the color bleed that comes with it. Those shots from the manual may be screen grabs taken from something like a titler. While not all CRTs have visible blank lines they are always still there in a 240p game and do impact the image.

That's the part that I have a hard time believing. "All TVs produce them, even though you may not see them." Yet, ever single screenshot that I have seen in "official" material doesn't display the use of scanlines. As far as I know, they only time development of a game actually relied on scanlines to actually function are light gun games because of how the games relied on how CRT TVs opperate.
>>15710167
>I don't know what that's supposed to mean.
As I said in my first post, the title screen for TLoZ is suppose to display some blueish hue to the cliffs that I've been unable to replicate, and that same coloration is present in the backgrounds for Castlevania (According to the page I provided).

Lol no. RPCS3 devs criteria for "playable" is extremely lax. If the game can be finished it is considered "playable", even if it runs at 15 fps, randomly crashes every 40 minutes, it's full of graphics and sound glitches, and needs a lot of custom settings and messing with files. Sadly, that's the current state of most "playable" games in general on RPCS3 compatibility list.
Also, RPCS3 builds from the last few months made lots of regressions that have broken quite a few games, and the compatibility list hasn't been updated to reflect that. Many of the "playable" games won't get past the title screen or won't even boot in the most recent builds. RPCS3 is pretty fucked right now and the devs aren't saying how long it'll take for them to unfuck it, in their quest to basically turn the emulator into a Souls+Nier source port engine, since early this year they broke half of what was already working.
Anyways, never trust the compatibility list blindly, always make sure to read the game forum thread that's linked on the game ID. That's the place to check if the game is actually working as advertised on current builds.

Here's a warning for people who wish to update their PPSSPP.
I just jumped from v.1.4 to v1.7.1 and I experienced slowdowns and weird graphical glitches where some textures disappear in some games. It's probably due to my 6 year old CPU.
The newer versions of PPSSPP seem to be optimized for newer CPUs, and optimization on older CPUs gotten worse because of it.
Now I wish I could emulate Warship Gunner 2 on PCSX2 at 60FPS. Game's too heavy on CPU.
>>15707441
>and in need of a ground-up rewrite to fully exploit modern PCs.
Right, but I wish the devs store older version of the emulators and make legacy software alongside the new ones. It's very annoying to update your software only to discover that it breaks and you can't revert back without reusing an older version that is no longer available on the devs' homepages/emulator official sites.

Okay, I don't remember much specific examples, because this was a couple of months ago when I was updating my emulator archives and I haven't touched PSP emulation since then - it wasn't even the current version, I was comparing 1.5.4 to 1.6.9 which was the current version then.
But a clear example I remember is Burnout Dominator - this game had a sound glitch on older versions of PPSSPP where the in-race songs would change after playing for just a few seconds. This bug had been fixed since v1.4 I believe, or maybe 1.5 - it's definitely fixed in 1.5.4. When I tried this game on 1.6.9, the short music playback glitch was back.
I also remember Ace Combat X running worse on 1.6.9 but I don't remember what specific problems I've ran into, you'll have to check for yourself and see if you wish.
What I do remember is that 1.6.9 would often shit the bed for me when running with the Vulkan renderer while 1.5.4 works just fine, though that might be just my outdated drivers.

You're right about PCSX2 but you forgot to add that the devs have prolonged the meme of "PS2 IS TOO COMPLEX TO EMULATE PROPERLY". Maybe this was the case when the emulator was on diapers but these days? Too bad the interest in PS2 emulation is so low that nobody steps up and since PCSX2 kinda does the job very few bother…
466fa1 No.15714723
>>15714619
>"PS2 IS TOO COMPLEX TO EMULATE PROPERLY"
Well the problems with emulating PS2s are far worse than you would think
First off you have several chips that need near perfect sync with each other and don't conform to many standards especially regarding FP calculations
Then you also have the fact that 2 of those are programmable coprocessor (VUs) that could do pretty much anything you wanted, thing that some dev took way farther than others (whether intentionally or not) meaning you basically have the same situation as with the N64 RSP except now you have 6x the library, 2x the chips and a lot more things that can be affected by failure to emulate everything properly outside of just graphics.
Then you have the GS itself which is completely unlike modern GPUs (instead of having fully programmable shaders or something similar it simply does a handful of simple operations really fast and combines several of those to create more complex effects meaning failure to replicate one creates a chain reaction but it also expects operations to be done really fast and some of those are even dependent on something the VUs do so you've got a syncing nightmare on your hands), then there's the way it handles texture which I don't think anyone understands fully not even sony and on top of all that shit there's also the fact that it'(s made primarily to output interlaced video and many games take that into account directly when rendering not just as an afterthought like most NGC and XBOX games
All that makes the PS2 complex enough that it's impossible to emulate properly and at fullspeed on anything currently (and if you don't believe me just look at projects like MAME, Mednafen and Angrylion, and then consider that none of those is perfect still and some even take intentional shortcuts because of performance concerns) so you have to start taking shortcuts, but then doing that just breaks more and more things and in a system such as the PS2 that can go really bad really quick.
What doesn't help matter much is that most people aren't interested in simply PS2 emulation if they were PCSX2 in SW mode can run 99% of games without any noticeable issues, but it's ugly as fuck and too slow in some cases too, when you start adding increased internal resolution and friends to the mix it just starts getting far worse really quickly.
>Too bad the interest in PS2 emulation is so low that nobody steps up
The fuck are you talking about? there's at-least two other emulator in development including one active one and there's even a quy starting his own vulkan plugin for PCSX2.

> "All TVs produce them, even though you may not see them."
sure, it's easy to understand once you see it in person. The 240p signal is a trick where the horizontal blanking interval (basically the closest thing a CRT can get to logic) is only scanning the lines that are refreshed 60 times per second. Otherwise in a standard definition signal there's 480 lines, 240 of which are 60hz, 240 of which are 30hz. This is called interlacing. Progressive scan 240p which most games from the 1st generation to the 5th generation used is a method of disabling those lines and on sets with high enough line counts and a fine enough dot pitch, there will be distinct blank line, what emulators incorrectly call scanlines. By only sending a certain number of lines to a set you can make it scan only those 60hz lines instead of the 30hz ones.
All sets resolve 480i display it the same way. It is increased detail and one set of lines has a sort of flickering of the image that looks fine on those 480i sets but on progressive sets can look seriously rough. All 480 of those lines are there to be resolved. If you are playing in 240p, only half the lines are being used. There's no phosphor ignition therefore no light coming from them, overall darkening the image to what may be hard to perceive but is definitely happening. This is key to the aesthetic, as it's not just solid black lines running through the image but the overall brightness of a picture, the blooming of phosphor groups, etc. which all are essential for the aesthetic of classic games. You can dislike it, but all 240p games were designed with it in mind. It was 100% accounted for as it is literally all the artists saw in the final representation of their work, it is that which they tweaked to get the results they wanted and determined the aesthetic of games, all with plenty of techniques and tricks made to take the utmost advantage of them.

I've seen none that do more than just bloom based on color brightness and distort geometry a little. A real CRT works three dimensionally and that's even harder to explain, I've only seen examples of it by messing with vector displays and deflection to force a horizontal fold over. CRT Royale is the big one but it's still not correct.

The reason I don't use RetroArch is that it's a mess of a program, that needs to be completely re-written if people ever want to see it become better optimized, and developed by idiot going about how PC interfaces are trash. Every time I have used the software in the past, I received spotty performance across every system that I tried to emulate, that didn't seem to be present at all when someone made a dedicated emulator.

My experience with RetroArch was through my 3DS. Loading up just about anything that wasn't Picodrive or Quicknes was a nightmare where the emulator either crashed upon launch or run games at a quarter of the speed. Even with the two I got working, they still slowed down quite often, or produced garbled sound. It wasn't until bubble2k16 developed the standalone builds for Picodrive, virtuaNES, and Snes9x that you finally got games running at full speed. Thus far, the only problems I've had with his emulators is the slowdowns with Sega CD games reading off the disc while running (Happens only with FMVs in my experience) and the slowdowns with running Star Fox. Also, that's leaving out how counterintuitive the interface is for RetroArch.

Retroarch's UI sometimes is more tasking though, rgui would crash on low spec systems regardless of driver, so i had to issue commands from prompt.
DirectX was fine but PSX games wouldn't run at full speed, some consoles that did crash with DX and GL, did work in SDL but in a tiny window.
Linux was worse because GL support in shitty systems is a joke which means it was useless.
Meanwhile i downloaded Epsxe and PCSX-R and both ran at full speed in the same system without problems.
I am just pointing out RetroArch is not better at performance than the stand alone version of the emulators built for the top popular systems, i don't know but whatever pipeline they follow seems to be faster.
Retroarch is better at being it's own thing, a multiplatform emulator/launcher and it can be useful for emulators without or with a poor GUI.

Mednafen's high accuracy means it can emulate games that some other emulators cannot and it can do so properly, without random graphical glitches and shit.

It's more that the accent choice for the English version of it is somewhat unique. Instead of the usual (at the time) southern style most attempts to preserve such go for, you get an aussie cunt instead. It does make for a memorable minor character though.
>>15744987
There's a chronology between the first three games, but each are more or less independent (BoFIV meanwhile is hard to place if or where it goes). There's some returning elements (the opening scrawl for the third game is a mural of the final battle in the first game, for instance). The first is rather bland in my experiences, but does set up a base premise for the world. II I haven't played, but want to say it's probably an improvement aside from the localization being notoriously abysmal (which Capcom saw perfectly fit to reuse for the GBA port) Thankfully it does have a fan retranslation patch, which also works with a rebalance patch if memory serves. If you want to play it, consider using one or both. Breath of Fire III's great and the Dragon Gene system is particularly well liked, and the script quality feels like a massive improvement. If you don't like the idea of a childhood arc setting up the cast and their relations though, you might feel it kind of slow to start. Haven't played IV myself, but I've heard the combat system's pretty enjoyable (all characters present in battle at the same time, with active and recovery/support rows), but also suffers censorship.

You don't need an eboot for PS1 on PS3, just get Webman.
3cd91f No.15769814
>>15768361
Eboot is mostly the native PSN format for games bought and downloaded that way, and more useful to the PSP and Vita as that is the only means they have to run PS1 games in (not being PS1 disc compatible, after all), and the format being a "fits all sizes" between the three, the only thing getting in the way being whitelisting. As >>15769727 says, you can use webman (or multiman, for that matter), to load a PS1 game's data into the main XMB like the disc was a disc actually inserted, thus all you should have to do is grab the actual PS1 files and patch them. That said, as far as I know, the PS3 is region free solely for PS3 games; PS1 and PS2 still had the issue of region lock because the systems they were for were region locked, and AC3 needs the JP game files for use with the patch. Admittedly I've not delved too far into if there's some native toggle that can be disabled, or if loading it from webman/multiman can get around it in telling the system the game's the same region as the system, but it's something to consider. Maybe >>15769727 knows better than I.
As for the game files, look a little harder (not that I don't want to help, but the less notoriety sites have, the longer they'll stay up). The prepatched version where the screenshot is taken from seems to be up to date, the page listing it as the files having utilized the 2.0 patch.
>Retroarch
I haven't kept tabs on the PS3 port too much, but if memory serves, a while back the latest version they had released for PS3 vanished, and on the libretro "nightlies" section, the entire PS3 folder vanished, leaving only PSP and Vita under the Sony tab. It would seem though that a port of the current stable release, 1.7.5, is downloadable for PS3 though, both on the retroarch main site and brewology (good place to find PS3 homebrew, if you didn't know yet), so I'm not real sure what happened, since I recall it being gone from their downloads as well back then, and there being a scramble to find an anon that had previous latest release that had vanished who could mega the pkg file.

Well since I'm put on the spot, Webman is pretty easy to use, when installing it, it should add a folder called PSXISO or PS1ISO onto the root of your PS3 HDD. All you do from there is throw in ISOs or BIN/CUEs into the folder, and Webman should be able to access them via a XBM menu it adds when installed. Also it should have no problems with crossing regions.

The scenes cut from IV are pretty self-contained so I'd guess people are satisfied with just seeing them on youtube or something. Feels good playing in Japanese so you don't have to deal with the bullshit, though

Only real way to build RA for PS3 is using the official SDK, but you can't legally distribute things you compile with that SDK without sony's approval.
Somebody threatened the libretro team with telling sony and M$ (because the same more or less applies to the XBOX port) about that over autistic drama so they pulled it and now get that shit distributed through xbins.org

I thought the homebrew community figured out how to add GPU access to OtherOS, as well as how to re-enable OtherOS on newer PS3s, all of which use a fully legal open source homebrew toolchain rather than Sony's official SDK.

not every game has fixes on PC, let's start with the model2/saturn ports of sega games. You have either software mode (15-20fps no matter what, it's hard capped in the code) or a rare $400 graphics card from 1995. For Virtual On your choices are Sega Ages or Yakuza Kiwami 2. Daytona USA has a fantastic PS3/360 port that is arcade perfect.
