I don't get how to set the aspect ratio properly on fightcade, everything is fine until street fighter 2 it's in the 12:7(i think) aspect ratio instead of 4:3

i don't get the average retard dropping hundreds of dollarydoos on a 4K to emulate a CRT with crt filters instead of buying an actual CRT

>>16213176

fun fact: CRT filters still looks like crap in 4K, you still get choppy movement when sidescrolling, the screen brightness is halved since LCD pixels don't bleed, and the LUT grids aren't still perfect because different games had different native resolutions, i read that you need an 8K monitor to get the grids accurately

i still will never get over that the PS2 the most popular console to ever exist.

STILL has such a dogshit emulator

>>16213176

its all supposed to be 4:3 with a few exceptions

>>16213322

For classic consoles just get the retroarch app its free.

For PSP get PPSSPP for free as well

I think the only paid emus are DraStic and the PSX one, the first you need to root your phone to pirate it, the second you only need the cracked app.

>>16213322

tfw no xperia play current year

I've tried bluetooth controller attachements but they're either exclusive to a specific phone or not very good at all. I've stuck to largely SNES and under emulation on my cheapass 60 buck phone, but it works well enough for me.

>>16213667

I'm guessing that they made the phone because they thought they could sell something and had spare PSP parts, but it didn't turn out so good. Luckily the chinese factories that made them are producing them and you can get them for cheap on alibaba. You can get one today and connect it to a GSM network, but the specs on it are not really anything big. It still runs gingerbread and all of the roms for it using ICS are sluggish. Nottta mention, you'll have to stick with older emulators like gameboid, because anything recent is either not going to run or not run well.

Outside of phone emulation, I've gotten DC netplay going well with Demul. CVS2 and most of the matching service games play great, with the exception of SSF2X, which desyncs way too much, even when using preformance optimizing settings. Finally I can play CVS2 online once again. It had online for the PS2 and Xbox, but each of those versions had their problems.

What causes one to go so far up their own ass and just trash projects like this?

>>16213791

No idea, honestly. Some assume it's because they got tired of retards posting nonstop about Pokemon shit on their forums or something but that's not even really called for or warranted. It's most likely laziness and unwillingness towards ambition.

>>16213791

>What causes one to go so far up their own ass and just trash projects like this?

Interacting with the average user.

>>16214117

Same way I feel about chromatic aberration, "filmic" overlays, DoF and motion blur; they look like shit, are wasteful, and unnecessary. Pipe the unmodified output through DVI-I to a CRT with Powerstrip handling the res and framerates.

>>16213772

Posting the RE Ultimate Director's Cut mod here again because I changed the link.

Seriously i heard splatoon was playable with others

>>16218079

A couple of questions:

>1. Is it just the uncensored intro, or are all the videos the uncensored versions?

>2. Does it have the unlockable "gory" credits?

I believe this must have been asked to death, but I can't help but wonder.

Is there any officially stated reason why game console companies haven't ever made official emulators of old consoles for PC? I mean, it's a no-brainer; a clear win-win. It keeps old games playable at least the ones that aren't in legal limbo and lets companies collect their precious shekels. Also:

>averts the problem of acquiring aging out of production hardware, accessories, and game media

>aids game preservation and tackles chink console knock-offs and piracy except for titles in limbo

>MUCH better than the half-assed emulator shitboxes we got ((S)NES mini, PS Classic). Also much better than the limited catalogue of Nintendo's VC or game remasters on newer platforms

the only reason I can think this hasn't happened yet is it wouldn't make them the maximum amount of shekels possible (i.e. why make an emulator when you can double-dip each console gen). I know given the current state of the industry it would most likely be riddled with DRM.

>>16214117

The only filters I use are the ones that emulate composite video.

>>16222384

>Is there any officially stated reason why game console companies haven't ever made official emulators of old consoles for PC?

Sega and SNK have done that, actually. However, Sony, Nintendo, and MS don't because then it takes away focus from the library their console has.

>>16222416

>Sega and SNK have done that

you're right. I forgot about the neogeo and mega drive bundles. only sad thing is the emulators seem to lack neat stuff like frame-stepping

>Sony, Nintendo, and MS don't because then it takes away focus from the library their console has.

So basically the reason I gave above. Just wanted to confirm it wasn't something else like some contractual obligation or investors meddling or whatever. seems like I'll have to enjoy to my modded Xbox while it lasts. thanks anon.

>>16225461

>>16225468

So, after you apply the mod, the Dualshock version is now the "best" version of the original Resident Evil? Sweet.

Been trying to setup a PlayStation classic for emulation recently and I'm quite disappointed.

Huge input lag. Fighting games are kind of unplayable.

>>16228296

JUst try it Pajeet

tried xenogears in both retroarch cores and there were issues in both. Is it fully playable in epsxe? the issues in retroarch were rending problems with beetle and cutscene execution issues with the other

>>16229133

Don't use Retroarch!

It's bloated piece of shit. Used Xebra or Mednafen (For accuracy, PCSXRPGXP if you want it to look "pretty").

>>16229151

i agree unless you're building an all-in-one emulation station for playing on the couch or something. retroarch is infuriatingly arbitrary and shockingly bloated

>>16229151

thank you. I legit just want to know which I can use to play xenogears without any hiccups, do you know if any of your recommended can do that for sure?

Are there any new emulators on development? GBA, DS and PS1 needs new ones since the old ones are shit.

>>16229151

>Used Xebra or Mednafen (For accuracy, PCSXRPGXP if you want it to look "pretty").

I tried using Mednafen without Retroarch once and it lacked one or more features I normally use in Retroarch, though I can't recall which ones specifcally. I think it was one or more of these: savestates, fast forward, raising interal GPU resolution. From what I've heard, emulators other than Mednafen are all shit.

>>16229173

Xebra is the easiest to setup, followed by Mednafen. With PCSXRPGXP, you're going to have to mess with the settings, but shouldn't experience any compatibility issues with the games.

>>16229187

>I think it was one or more of these: savestates, fast forward, raising interal GPU resolution.

Mednafen is if you want accuracy. If you want all those features, you should be using PCSXRPGXP instead.

>>16229186

Go to the Wiki.

>>16229173

thank you

>>16229201

>Xebra is the easiest to setup

Did Dr. Hell release an easy mode version recently? XEBRA has traditionally been the clunkiest PS1 emulator imaginable, despite running full speed with nearly perfect accuracy on a potato.

I do wish he'd make an alternate build with PGXP enhancements.

>>16229610

I've played WA2 in PCSXR PGXP before so it can definitely work mostly fine.

The Beetle HW core is kind of hit or miss but if you have a decent enough PC and the game has no particular issue there's really no reason to look elsewhere since it has the most custization out of all PS1 emulators out there.

>>16229927

OBS unless you're a retard that actually uses shadowplay nvidia spyware.

>>16229151

>zeromus still sperging out

Make like roger and jump off a bridge.

>>16229927

Unless you need something very specific like faked framerate recording (aka it records a video that plays fullspeed regardless of what the emulator runs at and I'm pretty sure there's a way to achieve that with external tools anyway) or unscaled / unfiltered output video then no, just use OBS with whatever GPU encoding applicable with a fairly high bitrate (lossless is almost universally not worth it if you're an average person), avoid Shadowplay / Relive / Fraps / DXtory etc they pretty much all have some fairly big flaw while OBS really just lacks lossless audio nowadays and the save buffer function is kinda clunky but that's really not a big deal.

Most emulator recording options are pretty shit for a variety of reasons (vfw codecs required, arcane output formats, fairly big usage constraints etc) anyways so its not like you're making it easier on yourself by using them.

>>16229927

Try using Dxtory.

>>16213607

Try looking up the No-Intro rom set.

>>16230707

>majority of pre-Dreamcast games that run at 240p

Ya doofus, i am talking about a video too small that will need processing and scaling later, that shit is unnecessary because if you plan to upload it to a streaming service like YouTube, it will end up looking at the same quality as if you just had recorded it from a full window capture

>>16230825

></3

Kill yourself unironically

>>16231170

>i am talking about a video too small that will need processing and scaling later,

In my experience it's better to record in native res and scale later. The "Scale to Fit" setting in Premiere does a decent job at scaling and preserving pixel integrity, plus it's a lot less hardware intensive to edit 240p video as opposed to 1080p or 4K.

>upload it to a streaming service like YouTube, it will end up looking at the same quality as if you just had recorded it from a full window capture

Except that's wrong as YouTube recompresses uploaded video, often mangling color saturation as well as adding additional compression artifacts.

Do the PS2 Time Crisis games run at a good framerate or are they still powerpoint presentations?

>>16229133

It works fine with the Beetle SW core. It should work fine in Xebra too. Any other emu will have issues.

>>16232555

Maybe in the sense that new systems are being emulated well because they're just x86 boxes or rebranded cellphones. Previous generation emulator development has almost completely stagnated thanks to terminal faggotry on the part of devs.

>SNES is fine, but yeah it's stupid that Higan isn't really optimized for newer CPU's at this point.

>MAME is just all over the place, used to be a fun way to play old arcade games and now it's just a finnicky "MESS" that can take hours to configure to your liking.

What's really fucking annoying is how source port and emulator devs feel entitled to charge you for Android ports (not counting DamonPS2 because it's a bootleg port) of shit that's free on PC and everything else, and have the nerve to include DRM on it to prevent just using an APK.

>>16228790

>Why would Lilka say "I am pretty". It would make more sense if she said "you are pretty".

That's because Japanese usually doesn't explicitly use subjects. The translator was probably drunk or high while working on it. Even google translate could've done a better job than that.

By the way, what's the best genesis emulator you faggots? I need to play some Monster World.

>>16233707

>>16233707

>What's really fucking annoying is how source port and emulator devs feel entitled to charge you for Android ports

That's because only retards that would pay for emulation would want it on android in the first place, makes sense.

Anyone have experience with RPCS3? I didn't realize PS3 emulation was this far along until I saw embed related. Apparently Skate 3 is fully playable.

I've been dabbling with Android emulation these past few days and god, what an awful clusterfuck it is. The most advanced and mainstream emulators, Bluestacks and Memu, feel like closed source chink botnets that will gather and sell all private data you enter in them. Additionally they don't have strong communities - support, technical discussion and troubleshooting help, as well as feedback from developers, are pretty much nonexistent and only discussions I find around the net and only come from third world children using them to play MOBAs. Fuck.

>>16237145

Bluestacks is the only Android emu without chink botnet shit. And that's because of Intel and AMD funding its development, so make sure to block all Israeli IPs in your hosts file.

There are only 2 Android games worth playing: Hoplite and PvZ2, and the second one needs to be modded to be enjoyable.

>>16236988

Used it to emulate Persona 5 when it came out. Heavily recommend using Vulkan if you can, got me from 20~ to 30~ FPS alone.

>>16237302

Actually, AMIDuOS appears to also be okay if you have a throwaway email account.

>>16236988

It's pretty good but there are still some games that don't work that well with it.

I've only ever used it to play demon souls.

>>16237302

>Bluestacks is the only Android emu without chink botnet shit. And that's because of Intel and AMD funding its development, so make sure to block all Israeli IPs in your hosts file.

Noted. Too bad Bluestacks use is very limited for me, because I can't install pirated games that need obb or additional data files in it. On Bluestacks I've ran into the infamous "inaccessible shared folder" bug - where you can't open the \sdcard\windows shared folder in the Android vm because file manager apps see it as an unknown file instead of a folder. Some quick googling shows that this bug has affected lots of users for years and to this day Bluestacks never seems to have fixed it. There are a few user fixes and workarounds around the net with varying degrees of success, and none of them worked for me.

For general use and app testing Memu seems a much, much better platform than Bluestacks, since it comes with a full featured, pre-rooted Android distribution with standard Android apps preinstalled and even a fake IMEI and phone number, instead of the gimped Android from Bluestack, made pretty much only to run games downloaded from their app store. In this sense, Bluestack feels much more botnet to me than Memu. Not to mention, Memu's shared folder worked just fine for me.

It's a shame Memu's performance and compatibility for games is pretty shit compared to Bluestacks.

>There are only 2 Android games worth playing: Hoplite and PvZ2, and the second one needs to be modded to be enjoyable.

Thx for the tips, I know about them but I'm not into these kinds of games. Here's a few Android games I like:

>Treasures of Montezuma series (plays like Bejeweled but much improved)

>Arkanoid vs Space Invaders

>Dark Incursion (Android exclusive metroidvania)

>Final Freeway 1 and 2

>Horizon Chase (even though it has a PC version now)

>Ridge Racer Slipstream (unironically one of the best, if not best game in the series since RRT4)

I never took time to fully appreciate emulation, it's quite an amazing feat despite most games not being 100% accurate but playable, it triggers me when I see emulation = theft online. Dog bless.

Have you tried compiling with profile guided optimization?

I think you can still squeeze a couple more frames out of these emulators

>>16255488

I haven't, because it requires my own intervention.

Is there any game out there that cannot be emulated?

>>16255782

If you mean as in technically not able to devellop an emulator for said games, yeah, there's most likely a few things that have no documentation and working hardware available for reverse engineering.

If you just mean as you can't emulate them right now, yes a lot.

Quite a lot actually, anything past 7th gen is spotty at best

Modern (2000 +) PC hardware

Custom PDAs

Japanese phoneshit prior to android, and a chunk of vendor specific stuff from our own preandroid phoneshit

Applel OSes in general, OS 9 and prior is spotty at best even with the official solutions

Older cassette based console / computers since some don't even have working games or hardware at all nowadays

Edutainment stuff like Vtech isn't all there either

A bunch of custom arcade boards, especially x86 base ones with custom 3D hardware

Jaguar CD afaict

A lot of games that rely on very specific peripheral like those outlined there https://shonumi.github.io/articles.html

Porbably more stuff I'm missing

Most of these are Java, right? There's emulators for these, finding games is near impossible.

>Applel OSes in general, OS 9 and prior is spotty at best even with the official solutions

And nothing of value was lost

>Older cassette based console / computers since some don't even have working games or hardware at all nowadays

Most of the relevant ones do, unless there's some important games on obscure soviet computers this isn't too much of an issue

>Edutainment stuff like Vtech isn't all there either

Shame this doesn't have more work put into it

>And nothing of value was lost

That's actually not true, the homebrew / shareware scene on preOSX MACs had ton of games that aren't actually bad at all, although there's also a lot of "copyright friendly" clones of better known game too but they often compared well to the original.

>Most of these just run on PCs running Windows. I'd assume the biggest problem is DRM

Yes for those the biggest issue is getting the game out of the cab because DRM but I was mostly referring to cabs that aren't just a windows or linux running PC with custom DRM and serial board (stuff like Atari Media GX, Gaelco 3D cabs etc)

Where's that Super Mario 64 DS analog hack I've heard about? Only found someone made it for KikeArch.

Best PS1 emulator?

>>16236988

Played through the first Neir using an emulator recently. Ran pretty good. Then I tried Drakengard 3 and got 5 FPS. I know DG3 ran like shit on the actual hardwear, but still some games run better than others.

>>16213320

I can run PS2 games, though it causes my laptop to heat up too much. Desmume won't even run Pokemon B&W at higher than 5% of normal speed. I'm assuming Desmume is just shit.

>DeSmuME

I can play most games with frameskip at 1 or 2 on 10y old PC hardware. Did you enable JIT? It's not enabled by default. Emulation will run faster, if it's not one of the few games that get fucked up by it. Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow gets majorly fucked up in the flying armor boss room for me, leading to a crash. I can't remember whether Pokemon B&W is one of the exceptions. The devs are retarded and the emulator is not improving, but it works well for my plebeian tastes.

>>16282460

It took me less time to figure out the autistic mess of retroarch than bizhawk the last time i tried it. Also getting cores updated for gui-less emus like beetle is easier.

I'd give bizhawk another try sometime if its worth switching over, retroarch's handling of saving is broken beyond repair so i'd like to actually be able to use my save files. But being able to update emulators really easily is a big reason i use it now.

Big whoop. I finished tons of games on retroarch without issue or configuration. Every once in a while I get one that crashes randomly every ten hours of play on average.

>>16286281

I'd be happy with either, graphics plugins seem to be a mess for most of the games I like to play, and unfortunately I've heard Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance just emulates like shit on everything.

>>16286311

The only games i've ever wanted to play on pcsx2, all have had the same standing issues for years. That emu and the community around it is a mess.

>>16286281

At least someone's making a brand new emulator. Will it be good or not remains to be seen.

Dunno why people have so much trouble with PSCX2. I've had more trouble with Dolphin.

>>16286477

You have to be the biggest dolt on the planet to have problems with dolphin

>>16286540

Okay anon.

>>16282460

Coz it lacks the features of RA. Also RA has had several different UIs uncluding a wimp one for a long time now.

>>16289648

Nevermind, I found out how to limit the frames. Seems to fix the problem, for now.

Is Banjo-Tooie just coded like shit and crashes all the time or am I doing something wrong with M64+?

ill wait for the next snapdragon and judge if its worth buying now

kind of jelly on how DamonPS2 runs on Pocophone F1 tbh

Was thinking of installing RetroArch for my a normalfriend. It seems to work fine, except it uses some pointer shit for the nds emulator and can't even rotate screen?

>>16213623

But PPSSPP works just fine on my 4 year old phone, mid-range at the time at best.

>>16291155

Have been wanting to get a new phone for a while. Still debating getting the Pocophone, but also think I should maybe just wait a bit more for some newer alternative.

>>16285360

>I can play most games with frameskip at 1 or 2 on 10y old PC hardware.

Good for you, however I can't, and the games that do work with it on give me a headache due to the stuttering in the animation.

>Did you enable JIT?

Yes, it's been enabled and I'm unable to run anything decently except for Lux-Pain. Even Sonic Classic Collection suffers from slowdowns or stuttering.

>>16289648

Use mednafen or xebra. There is no reason to use plugin based ps1 emulators anymore, they're redundant.

>>16293113

I'm actually using Mednafen right now but forgot to update the thread. Thanks for the suggestion, though, anon.

>>16286099

>MK4

Eh, it got updated back in 0.185. From what I understand some code to implement those textures and lighting is already in MAME, but has been dummied out for some reason. With any luck Ted Green will come back and work on it some more, he recently made improvements to Voodoo emulation and got SF Rush 2049 working.

Now that 3DS emulation is good and supports non-ant sized resolutions, how do I dump my saves (and any other needed files) off my old 3DS? I haven't used it in over a year and forget how to do anything on Luma.

>>16298296

I use JKSM for saves

>>16296560

I know that it got much better in 0.185, but it still needs a lot of work. Now that The Grid (Zeus 2 chip) is somewhat working now, there may be some hope. Then again, that fucking Time Crisis bug was only fixed many, many years later.

>>16289772

Mupen 64 is coded poorly and crashes all the time.

Would a laptop with mx150 be a bottleneck for more demanding emulation? Like ps2/dolphin? Or are things still pretty much CPU restricted? Are single core performance still more important than multicore for emulation?

Looking to buy a new laptop so I can play emulated stuff when I visit friends.

Hey, I tried to download various Reicast builds but none of them work. I'm suspicious of Demul since it's Russian and closed source, but its the only DC emulation I've gotten to work on windirs. It sadly doesn't recognize analog input from my controllers.

>>16335709

Nothing that will run on an SBC like the one in the classic console will have the ability to handle SGB emulation.

>>16335972

>>16335709

Actually I think I ended up finding it. You have to download KMFD's version of Retroarch and then also his version of the mGBA core. Got Pokemon working on it at least. I'll try more now. I think I read it doesn't do non-SGB games as well, like it doesn't put up a default border and doesn't have as many options for custom palettes, but it's better than nothing.

>>16337058

>>16335709

Throw the SNES Assic into the fucking trash where it belongs and get a pi if you want to emulate on your TV.

>>16337523

I'd rather have a Soytendo than a SJWpi

>>16337523

>>16337581

Both of you are idiots. Just buy a Vita TV, and use that to emulate everything.

>>16337523

I got it for Christmas. I already have every game ever made in the 20th century (and sometimes later) on my Wii, Wii U, PSP, Vita, and probably a few more I'm forgetting at the moment. But that's not the point. I figured if I have the SNES Classic anyway, I'd at least take the premise as far as it can go and put every game that I could have played on an SNES on it. I then remembered Super Game Boy was a thing, so I'm putting all SGB compatible games on it. But not GBC exclusive games, because that breaks the immersion.

>>16337058

>mGBA

Yeah if you're okay with most of the good stuff from SGB not working then that's an option but the complete sound + border + palette experience you can only get that through bSNES or Higan

>>16337593

>>16337581

>>16337523

The ultimate cheap emubox is a refurb optiplex ARM SBCs are all trash.

I'm not big into emulation but I occasionally do a couple of playthroughs of Symphony of the Night or Mega Man X4. I'm still using ePSXe. I see that newer emulators are recommended. Can someone tell me why?

>>16338304

Yeah, losing the extra sound and some of the cooler stuff like two players using SNES controllers sucks, but honestly most games just use the borders and palettes anyway, and I think I have that with mGBA.

>>16338304

Refurb optiplexes are also a go-to value for playing various arcade games like them weeb rhythm games, just need a certain video card.

Nevermind. It only works for original Game Boy games with Super Game Boy enhancements. It doesn't work for original Game Boy games without Super Game Boy enhancements. So no regular shitty default palettes or regular default borders. Some of the SGB default palettes were good for certain games, especially first party ones. And I'd at least want the default SGB border that looks like a Game Boy screen. Also, dual GB/GBC games will only run in GBC mode and not Super Game Boy mode, even though a lot of them have special borders and SGB colors. Now I know this sounds stupid since SGB isn't as good as GBC and a lot of times the GBC colors won't show up and it will look like shit, but I want my borders when I play Pokemon Yellow, Gold, and Silver on this thing.

I did find an option for setting which model, and I can set it to Super Game Boy, but it says it requires restart, and whenever I restart it goes back to Automatic, which for those games always is apparently either Game Boy or Game Boy Color.

>>16339156

That's a valid argument in this case since the original argument was "I have 2" and the response was "throw out 2 and get 5." I have 2. I just want to figure out how to get the most out of what I have. If I really wanted I would just play all this shit on my PSP, but that's not the point.

What would be the preferred option of emulating Gameboy and Gameboy color games?

I've got an GBA everdrive and DS flashcard.

The DS has it's own emulator, apparently the everdrive has built-in emulation, or I can use Goomba to compile a GBA rom full of games.

I could get a Gameboy flashcart, but I don't feel like dropping $80+ on a system I never really got to play.

>>16338339

mednafen is better

>>16340449

>>16340449

Yeah I know, but frankly, almost all games did very little other than the color palettes and borders. I'll settle for that. And yes, the SNESC is dumb. I'm trying to get the best out of it by acting as if it's an SNES with a complete library of every game I could ever play on an SNES, and that means I want to play Super Mario Land 2 with that border that looks like a Game Boy screen that fills the 4:3 space, inside one of the default borders that comes on the SNESC that fills the rest of the 16:9 space.

Borders and colors actually do work fine on original GB games that have SGB support, like Pokemon Gen I, or Donkey Kong, but they don't work on dual GBC/GB games. Things like Pokemon Gen II or Link's Awakening DX, which actually do have borders and palettes only seen when played on Super Game Boy. Yes, I know the palettes aren't as good as the regular GBC palettes, which I can actually play fine. That's not the point. I'm going for a particular brand of autism here.

is there any way to transfer memory cards from retroarch to xebra or mednafen?

>>16340533

The GBA SP rev 2 is a nice choice. Backlit, very small, still clampshell. The screen size also fits better on the GBA SP than the DS in my experience.

How well does the switch emulate, if only I want to play some 2d vidya like Azure Striker Gunvolt or Steamworld Quest?

Why the fuck do you need to emulate Android? Just stick it in a fucking VM or something, damn. If you actually use Linux, like you should, you could use Anbox, which is Android inside an LXC container.

>>16345691

Well, as it stands it can emulate N64 because of the new dynarec. Gamecube and Wii(and by extension PS2 and dreamcast) are theoretically possible. The Novideo Shield TV had a Wii emulator, only for china, and could run dolphin fairly well. The switch itself can run dolphin and dreamcast when its booted into a retroarch only OS and just plays the games, but to my knowledge sound and controller support is still being worked on. Runs everthing else under the N64 pretty much fine.

>>16350074

retroarch

>>16350130

You NEVER use the MAME core in RA. It's got more input lag than standalone. Also it's actually harder to configure than standalone and is missing features.

>>16350130

I have a mame folder in system, and zipped roms in the mame rom folder. When I try to load content, it crashes.

>>16350074

MAME is easy as shit to setup aside from finding potentially missing files in certain games' zip files.

Funny, seeing as how every time I use shitarch on a buddy's pi3 it always fucks up the inputs whenever a second player puts in a second controller. And then you have bullshit like roms and saves not being detected.

>>16350778

>Funny, seeing as how every time I use shitarch on a buddy's pi3 it always fucks up the inputs whenever a second player puts in a second controller.

That's not a problem exclusive to Retroarch

>And then you have bullshit like roms and saves not being detected.

That's because its not in the database. Retroarch doesn't like shoddy ROM dumps or bootleg games or unofficial translations. If you want to force it to use those then there are plenty of Playlist generators for you but Retroarch only likes games it can guarantee it will be able to lay with little hassle. If you have something like the No-Intro ROM set it just werkz with 0 issues and makes for a nice retro game platform. If you primarily play ROMs outside of the regular ROMsets then you probably are better off just dealing with individual emulators though.

>>16350802

>That's not a problem exclusive to Retroarch

It's a massive problem in shitarch when using its console esque interface on non-PC platforms and you need to use button combos to access the main menu. In most individual emus you can just unplug whatever controller is giving you shit and the problem is solved.

>better off just dealing with individual emulators though.

If you're on PC then individual emus are almost always better options.

>>16350905

>Every game you'd want to play from that set is going to just work with little issues given the available cores and more cores for these systems are more than mature enough that its not that important to have the latest versions of them

Except that's wrong. I mean if you don't care about accuracy, then I guess you'll be satisfied with the program's shit interface, picky rom selection, and randomly fucking up your settings. Last I checked, none of that shit is convenient.

>>16350943

>and randomly fucking up your settings.

Also, to avoid that I always set my settings files to "Read Only" in whatever OS I'm using. I do that with all my emulators after I'm done setting them up. In Retroarch in particular I also have my playlist folder set to RO after setting playlists up so it doesn't add a bunch of core associations I don't want. The ones that I do want I always just add to the favorites Plist

>>16350952

>You do realize the Retroarch project was started by the guy who made Higan, the most autistically accurate SNES emulator on the planet right?

Pretty sure that autistic furfag byuu didn't make it.

>It also has Messen, mGBA and a core for pretty much every single cycle accurate emulator available.

All of which are better using the standalones, at least if you're on PC.

>Regardless I think you're just talking out your ass at this point.

Some of us are just tired of the multisystem emulator meme and how it's held back development of potentially better standalone emulators.

>Also, to avoid that I always set my settings files to "Read Only" in whatever OS I'm using. I do that with all my emulators after I'm done setting them up.

Or you can just make a folder for individual emulators and just drop the games in that emu's game folder. That sounds more convenient.

>>16350981

Oh yeah, and also, the playlists files themselves aren't actually the fucking ROMs you retard

>>16350986

they still don't look right and don't account for the fact that a system like the gba is a 3.2" display. CRT emulation will never be as good as a real CRT.

>>16350963

>All of which are better using the standalones, at least if you're on PC.

The standalone emulators are better even on consoles. Fuck Retroarch and all it's bloat.

>>16350531

But Sonic fans make better games than Sega anyway.

>>16351348

1.) Just play Master Mode

2.) Enable the "Infinite Weapon" graphics pack under "Cheats" assuming you downloaded the community graphics packs

3.) grab this graphics pack https://gamebanana.com/gamefiles/8510 to say "fuck you" to limited weapon slots (Get the no-upgrade version so you don't need korok seeds and just have all the slots available)

4.) (Optional) get this mod too https://gamebanana.com/gamefiles/8454

BotW will be a much better experience now

>>16351378

This always seems to be the tradeoff for making games that look good "at the time" - they may be impressive and push shit to their limits, but they usually are very unstable if not outright unplayable down the road.

With the exception of Westwood's shit. I'm impressed by how they managed to make a lot of their shit work, while simultaneously programming a lot of their other stuff (especially netcode, jesus fuck) like shit. It somehow is able to still run on modern machines.

>>16351357

I downloaded some of the stuff, I'll have to check and see what all I got enabled. I got the one that makes things run and look better at least.

>>16351465

>and is open source is appealing.

Its a lot more open source than Wintel machines but anything ARM is far from a FOSS dream either unless its all 100 percent GPL which these seldom actually are.

This is odd, I tried to stream some PSX games for a friend so he could see some cool shit. But I completely lost control once it started, no buttons work. Every game I tried it was the same thing, is this a problem with PSX emulators or am I just retarded.

I hate it, trust me. The shortcut is aptly named Retrotrash on my folder. I kept it to compare its HW Beetle core to PCSXRPGXP and surprise surprise, there's jack shit difference between the two. The only advantage it has over PCSXR is that the sound plugins work in some games where PCSXR's doesn't.

Fuck this thing.

>>16354944

Why is it so hard for people to use Xebra if they want a PS1 emulator that actually works?

Why are people using Retroarch when it's nothing but bloatware, it's "consolized" interface is useless on actual consoles because they already have a functioning UI, it's "consolized" interface is useless on PCs because the people playing emulators on a computer want an actual interface, it's "consolized" interface is useless on custom built devices because there are dozens of other programs that achieve the same thing and with better options (And have been around longer), is infamously known that it was written in spaghetti code and is going to require a complete rewrite if anyone wishes to see any better efficiency, and that it's one "big" feature (shaders) is already implemented in standalone emulators? There is absolutely zero reason to use Retroarch.

>>16352533

>>16354944

>>16355002

mednafen has been working nicely for me for psx, sadly n64 has much less viable options.

It's an emulater, you're going to get hacked together support for the most mediocre popular shit and games you actually want will be broken retroactively, and you are gonna like it and donate to their patreon. This will then own the consolefags because you can now play their 10 year old beta test.

I have a problem with pcsxr. Controls dont seem to be working ingame. The config and other emulator register inputs perfectly, but when i run a game i cant do anything.

What gives?

>>16356967

The game is probably incompatible with the analog controller. Try switching to digital in the controller config, or press the "analog button" whenever a game starts until the light in whichever corner "turns off".

So I can emulate banjo kazooie and donkey kong 64 on my phone fine but it chugs with banjo tooie. Was tooie that more intense than donkey kong 64?

>>16356458

Modern emulators are better at not being hacked together like that

>>16350771

Speaking as someone who actually likes RA for its genuinely good features (better latency than any but one Amiga emulator and a couple of obscure MAME forks, exceptional shader support, many cores such as Beetle PSX and ParaLLEl better than any standalone, etc.), the "RetroPad" abstraction and its convoluted remapping UI is one of the things I hate most, for the specific reason that I have controllers with more buttons than a 360 pad and it's a PITA to make it work correctly with them.

>>16350992

>CRT emulation will never be as good as a real CRT

Well, yeah, because LCDs are inherently inferior to CRTs in pretty much every way relevant to gayman. If something superior comes along, such as mLED/OLED freed from the constraints of controller chipsets inherited from LCD panels, that would change.

>>16351369

>RS1

Play the PC version:

https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_Rogue_Squadron_3D

>>16359289

>OLED

Burn in makes that a bad idea overall, especially if you decide to use CRT filters.

>>16359295

It's supposedly getting better rapidly with the newest OLEDs and controllers, and of course there's an increasing chance of the industry finally conceding on conventional LED displays with mLED that can be economically assembled.

Or both could just end up like plasma and SED/FED in the graveyard of LCD's victims, trapping us forever, sure.
