8KB, 256x224px

I posted in a few threads ago, tried some things but it still won't work.

Anyone played Digital Devil Monogatari for Famicom? I have a problem where I need to beat a certain boss in order to continue. I walk towards the space where the boss should appear, but the battle won't start. I can't continue the game before I defeated the boss.

(It's in Mazurka, and the boss I have to defeat is Set.)

I'm playing the game on FCEUX 2.2.3 since the patched version with the translation won't run in Nestopia. I already tried booting up the unpatched version but even there the battle won't start, so it doesn't seem like an issue with the patch.

I wanted to try out loading the save game into other emulators with the unpatched ROM, but no other emulator supports the save files from FCEUX (.fct files) and renaming the file extension won't work either.

Any help? I'm pretty frustrated because I am quite far into the game already but can't continue playing and I don't even know why.

>>126805694
Well, that was unexpected.

<Twinaphex> anyway I have no real ill feelings towards people
<Twinaphex> if I did I wouldn’t even be talking to people randomly and casually
<Twinaphex> that’s kinda my way of showing I do care
<Twinaphex> in a kind of tsundure way I guess

>>126805873
If you post the translation you're used I can try to see if I can get it to work with Nestopia. Otherwise theres nothing else I can do because I've never played that game.

>>126807561
http://www.romhacking.net/translations/2287/
There you go!
The readme says the patch won't work with Nestopia and I get the "CPU jam!" error upon trying to load the patched ROM.
I hope you'll find a way to get it to work.

>>126807561
I thought about replaying it with the unpatched ROM from the beginning and check if the problem still occurs, but Set is the last battle before you get to the final dungeon. Already wasted hours on this game, so starting anew would kinda hurt.

I'm trying to get my savestate work in other NES emulators meanwhile, but for now I haven't found a way.

just bought a 500$ laptop and it runs dolphin at 1080p internal on the glorious IPS screen. 60 C temps. what more could you ask for?

>>126808445

>>126808445
by just bought i mean just tested dolphin on it yesterday. wonder how ps2 emulation will go. anybody here bother with it?

I'm looking for an older video demonstrating a "playable" 360 emulator. Everything ran like shit, textures were nonexistent and it was generally very bad. I think the game was blue dragon or something, I know they were controlling a flying dragon

>>126808606
What game you tried matters far more. If you tried Kirby's Air Ride, no one cares. If you tried The Last Story and it worked then wow.

>>126808817

It's probably on this channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLC3kuN_2emyokGE4WStv6w

>>126807859
Alright, yeah. There's no way to get past the start up sequence. I managed to see the translated version ingame by force loading a savestate from the Japanese version, but obviously fuckery happens immediately and it freezes.
I wanted to try to see what would happen if loading a proper save from the J version on the translation, but couldn't find a save option. It's a slim chance, but maybe the translators didn't reformat the way saves are written so they're compatible.
You could attempt to load the save you have in the Japanese version, see if that boss appears, deal with it and then save and switch back.

>>126809072
Damn! Thank you for trying, though.

I already tried loading my save state into the unpatched ROM, but even in the Japanese version the battle won't start. I was wondering if maybe it's a bad ROM dump (and no one noticed since it's kind of an obscure game), so I tried downloading the ROM patching it myself from several sites. The problem still occured (though, I can't say if the ROMs downloaded where different versions or the same).

Maybe it's a problem with FCEUX and the game (even the unpatched ROM), but I couldn't get the save file to load in other emulators so I'm not sure.

Mame retard here, getting this on some games.

You are running old ROMs on newer versions of MAME. You should grab a ROMset from archive.org and download the version of MAME it was intended for. Grabbing random shit from ROM sites is never going to work right.

>>126809798
>save state
Wait, are you talking about memory pak save or emulator savestate here? It wouldn't be surprising if you can't use a savestate in a different emulator. I always thought you meant normal save though.
Anyway, if you were succesfully able to load a save cross-version and the bug still happened I'd be inclined to think that you've run into a softlock that's not caused by the emulator. In other words, you might have just found a game-breaking bug.

>>126810060

>>126811406

Don't? Find the newest ROMset on archive.org and download the appropriate MAME version.

Anyone ITT got the handle on xboxdrv? It works fine for mimicing an Xbox 360 controller with whatever pad you have at hand, but having to hunt down which input event the controller gets mapped to makes it more of a hassle to use than it should be. Is there a way to automate detection so I can set and forget this shit

>>126814794

...what?

>>126815230
Someone in an earlier thread mentioned that .cdi ISOs don't work with ReiCast, and my ISOs are all .cdi, and I forgot what filetype they need to be.

>>126815326

Okay,

1) .iso != .cdi
2) .cdi files work just fine with Reicast
3) you should seek out .gdi dumps since they haven't been butchered in order to fit on a cd-r like .cdi releases have.

Can Reicast save yet?

>>126815445

>>126815721
Heh, tried loading the core beforehand (which i usually never do) instead of doing "select file and detect core" and it displayed. My bad.

>>126815929

You should still consider finding .gdi dumps.

>>126816036

Why?

With a few exceptions most Dreamcast games fit perfectly well on a CD

>>126816036
I was gonna say that both my .cdi of Sarge's Heroes and the .gdi of Crazy Taxi that I just got both caused RA to crash, but then I remembered that you need a BIOS. I'll come back with the results.

>>126816234

That's not really true. If you look at the .nfo files from a reputable release group (e.g. ReviveCD), you'll see just how much stuff they have to downsample and cut. But do as you please.

>>126816398
Speaking of which, what do my BIOS files need to be named? I put dc_boot.bin and dc_flash.bin in RA's system folder, but I still get a crash.

>>126816426
>If you look at the .nfo files from a reputable release group (e.g. ReviveCD), you'll see just how much stuff they have to downsample and cut.

I do and most of the time nothing's been cut.

Also, I wouldn't call ReviveDC reputable. I remember downloading their Record of Lodoss War release and it turned out it didn't even run on real hardware because they've only tested their shit on nullDC

>>126816635

They need to be placed in system/dc

Some ripped games show bugs in emulators though.

Not sure if this happened with the CD rip on original hardware too, but the music in Sonic Adventure won't loop with the ripped CDI version. If you run the GD-ROM original instead it works fine.

Little issues like that.

>>126811351
Oh, sorry! I meant emulator save state, haha.

Are most emulators still mainly CPU based?

My GPU died and I'm upgrading probably to a r9 390. I want to know how well I'll be able to run upscaled ps2/dolphin games at 1080p 30/60 fps, or if I should upgrade my CPU also.

>GPU: Radeon R9 390
>CPU: Intel Core i5 2400

I was going to get a 4690k, but it honestly doesn't seem like that big of a jump im performance. Aren't i5 usually better than i7 for emulation or is it the other way around?

>>126828104
Either hiding how shit the code really is or covering their asses regarding what thy used to make this emulator, donation money could also be a possibility of course.

>>126828585

>My GPU died and I'm upgrading probably to a r9 390. I want to know how well I'll be able to run upscaled ps2/dolphin games at 1080p 30/60 fps
That'd be more than fine, even a 750ti can do that.
>Aren't i5 usually better than i7 for emulation
Not better, just pretty much the same.

>>126828585
>Aren't i5 usually better than i7 for emulation or is it the other way around?
By default i7 are always better because at worst they run almost the same with a few extra things that make them better (higher stable OC in genereal, more cache) and in PCSX2 case they're way better if you use SW mode.

quick question. i registered on pleasuredome the other day and now they're wanting me to set up port forwarding so that I can seed their torrents and get off their 'probation'. trouble is, I'm paranoid that im being hacked so I'm not likely to do that. My question is, do they really require that, and if so, why in the holy living fuck would they considering every torrent ive ever downloaded worked fine without having me port forward?
tl;dr: what the fuck, pleasuredome?

>>126862595
I tried my best, but it wasn't good enough.
All I get are "build.o" errors of some kind...
Oh well...

>>126863223

Well, now they have a message when you try downloading. Before, there was no message.

Apparently, Google has flagged them as a malware site, and the only way to clear that is to make downloads inaccessible to the public.

Seems arbitrary as fuck though

>>126863817
>I'm paranoid that im being hacked
lel.

Anyway you need to open the ports so people can connect to you to download data. Torrents will still work without incoming connections but it greatly limits seeding. Since pleasuredome want to keep leeching shits out they don't even fully enable accounts that aren't properly connectible.

Just open the ports.

Finally can run PS2 and Wii emulation, are their particular tweaks to improve performance or looks I may want to know about?

The only argument for W7 is that W10 secretly spies on you even if you turn off all the settings for MS's online services. But that's fucking retarded because there's no reason to believe W7 was ever any safer if you think MS is doing shit like that at all.

Either don't use Windows or stop pretending like you're not getting fucked in the ass even on Windows 7. It's fucking annoying. You're just as much of a cuck as any Windows user.

>>126884805
>there's no reason to believe W7 was ever any safer if you think MS is doing shit like that at all.
I see, so you have no proof but just want to assume because MS went full evil oberlord now that they must always have been evil. It's pretty easy to tell if your OS is sending info to MS, anon, all you need is to watch the Internet traffic.

>>126886680
Lots of people have been watching the internet traffic from W10 and there hasn't been a shred of evidence of conspicuous data that shouldn't have been being sent according to the settings. A screenshot some fucking fag on /g/ took of wireshark with a torrent running in the background doesn't count.

W10 being some super botnet shit is really just a stupid fucking meme for retards.

Is Harvest Moon: Animal Parade working yet?

I remember last time I tried a couple years ago it had serious sound bugs and framerate. Would love to give it, or a similar Harvest Moon a try. Haven't played one since my gamecube days, and Animal Parade looks like one of the more content filled ones.

Anyone know if 3-4 player SNES netplay works on any emulator? I vaguely recall it not being possible but man I need some Secret of Mana/4-player Bomberman action

Make a folder in your shaders directory and drop these in it:

>>126894669
>shader0 = "../misc/image-adjustment.cg"

There's a more accurate color correction shader for GBA, it's in /handheld/gba-color.cg

>shader1 = "crt-geom-flat-sharpness-custom.cg"

What's the point of the custom CRT-Geom shader? This one seems to be an old version that lacks the runtime parameters. You can just use the current version in /crt/shaders/crt-geom.cg and set the customized parameters inside the cgp. That way, you don't need to include a separate shader with that preset.

I'm curious what keys you guys map your N64 controls to. I just started Ocarina of Time and I'm still testing things out to see what's most comfortable.

>>126896840
I depends on the game, for Zelda I do it like

Z = l trigger
R = r trigger
L = l bumper
A = down button
B = left button
Cdown = right button
Cleft = up button
Cright = r bumper
Cup = select

For something like Banjo Kazooie I just leave the C buttons on the right stick though.

Saving seems completely borked in the Reicast core. If I delete all the VMU files it creates, the first game I load up seems to save just fine, but then every subsequent game complains about a lack of space, despite the fact that the core emulates 8 VMUs.

One has to be under SP's thumb to use that

PCSX2's nightly builds are fucking amazing compared to the latest stable. Now I can play AC Zero in software mode, third person, without any slowdown whatsoever, before I would always dip into 50/40 FPS. My CPU is old (2500k), but still. I have one problem though - opengl mode refuses to work.

>>126917564

Unless you're using aj nvidia card it's normal, the dev behind the OGL plugin is a dick.

Nope, unless you mean minor graphical glitches, which are on par with the course with PCSX2 anyways.

>>126918035
> The last time I updated my GPU's drives my PC became really unstable.

Yeah that's what I'm reffering to, they fucked up something in some releases of the drivers and fermi based card started heating up for no reason, it's been fixed for some time.

>>126918219
Damn, did they poach a bunch of devs from AMD?

>>126916982

Being under the thumb of closed-source Russki fetishists is so much better.

>>126918219
My problem seemed to be general instability and system rebooting for no reason whatsoever rather than thermal problems. Which version of the drivers should I get?

>>126917564
So PCSX2 is getting faster? Did you try the real problem children like AC4-5?

>>126918543
AC5 had the exact same problems as AC Zero, I'll give AC04 a try later I guess.

>>126918538

AC04's plane textures in HW mode are still fucked, SW mode seems to have gotten faster.

>>126918624
It's not like I reverted to the previous version of the drivers after the second crash or anything, that one had no problems whatsoever.

>>126919007
I don't want the problems at all. They shouldn't happen. I don't need the stress of my PC randomly restarting and doing weird shit. They should have to pay me for pain and suffering if they do that.

I like to emulate with my phone.

Which is better, using a bunch of dedicated emulators for different systems or using retroarch? Does retroarch tend to use more resources than an exclusive emulator app?
I want to use it, but I don't if the emulators within it are more buggy version of their stand-alone counterparts. I know the ds one crashes retroarch at least.

If it's a convenience thing that's cool, I just don't want my shit I've already been able to play elsewhere bugging out.

>>126919668
>I like to emulate with my phone.
There's your first mistake.

>Does retroarch tend to use more resources than an exclusive emulator app?

Of course, since SP refuses to mask the full performance requirements of the games using frameskip or the like which other emus on phones tend to do.

>>126920626
>since SP refuses to mask the full performance requirements of the games using frameskip
You say that like frameskip is a thing you should use at all.

>>126921262
>>126920626
Frameskipping doesn't even work right on any emulator

I updated my GPU drivers and OGL now works. Let's see if it's true that Warship Gunner 2 performs better with that plugin.

Fuck.

Also, the western version is missing content, among which there's also voice acting. Supposedly GOOD voice acting.

>>126922231
Play the PSP version if you don't mind the JP everything, it has even more content and runs overall better than the PS2 version on top of emulating better.

>>126920626

Some cores have optional frameskip core options though. In any case it is something you have to implement on a per-core basis, not at the frontend level.

Since emugen is all about hating on input lag, how much is your emulation experience soured by using a wireless controller?

>>126929265
It's probably all reverse placebo effect or whatever it's called, but if I'm playing a precise 2D platformer or any other quick input game with the DS3 in wireless mode I feel like I'm being shit. I plug it in and everything is normal.

>>126929265
It's at best 4ms + whatever lag there is between your bluetooth receptor and wireless gamepad (probably sub 4ms), you can sense it if you're only using wired controllers in a near zero lag environment while playing games that requires very precise inputs for a long time and suddenly switch to a wireless controller but you can probably adapt to that.

The horrible mentality of DC emu devs

https://github.com/p1pkin/demul/issues/356

The Makaron dev is a similar garbage Russki

"This kinda brings me to another topic, that is nullDC source code being opened. I'd hesitate with word "freed" here, it's not exactly as simple as some people think. Looking at the issues page it's obvious that there are still only two real maintainers: drkIIRaziel and PsyMan. I don't think this was the intended result. Whether or not someone picks it up or the original authors loose interest completly remains to be seen - but it's what I always say, not that many people are interested in writing an emulator. Source code being closed is no excuse, after all I started from zero on my own so anybody can do that. On the other hand, once the code is open you don't really see an army of helpers, now do you... Hacking in a feature or two does not count as proper development."

http://dknute.livejournal.com/33491.html#comments

"4) I couldn't care less what other people want. You see, Makaron is my hobby project. Failing to understand that simple fact, especially words MY and HOBBY is the key here. I'm not building a monument to last and make it into history books. I don't claim to have the best, most complete or fastest Dreamcast/NAOMI emulator (though I pride myself in being first with certain features). Nor do I really try to make it such. I just tinker with the code in a way that interests me, that's all. Community? What's that? I'm just happy that there are other people who think Makaron is useful in some way."

But MESS in retroarch is at 2015 version while MAME is still 2014. Any reason to use the more updated MESS over MAME?

Closed source emulation is inherently selfish because you are most certainly using someone else's docs or code to get your emulator started and then you turn around and don't share anything besides binary builds of your code.

Wrong

It's still called MAME, if anything UME is history now

Out of curiosity I just tried the quickdraw minigame on Kirby's Adventure, on Nestopia.
With the DS3 in wireless mode I consistently hit 13-14 (I think they are frames. If they are that would mean ~0.21s which is fairly standard for reaction times).
After plugging the DS3 bugger all changed, so there is no discernible difference in input delay.

Interestingly, after moving Nestopia's window to the CRT I consistenly dropped the times by 1 frame.
Still couldn't beat Dedede though.

You're gonna measure controller input latency with that laggy fucking nestopia standalone frontend?

New to emulation here, wheres a good place to look for Wii Roms?

>>126949371
Because Google is incompetent and money can't buy you talent

Bretty.

>>126954009
What do you do if you actually hate modern games?

>>126968982
If there were a noticeable delay introduced by wireless it would show up either way. It's not like it's going to magically disappear just because there is other lag: they'll just add up.
Also, laggy as Nestopia standalone you might claim to be, I was well within the average reaction time.

Ishiiruka is the real Dolphin

>>126970784
I don't understand. Is Ishiiruka a standalone fork? Why aren't its optimizations and other stuff merged into the main emulator?

>>126959073
>on practice, during many years there was no single side person who whish to develop something for Demul, or collaborate, or anything else.

Behold, the truth of open source. You will always have like 3-4 guys who feel they own the project and the rest will contribute almost nothing.

>>126970930
Because it doesn't focus on accuracy but speed.

He's a Stallmanite. A religious fanatic who wants to impose his views own you and force you to make your code open regardless or whether or not you want to

If you don't agree, you're an evil piece of shit who doesn't deserve a voice

>>126970930
>Why aren't its optimizations and other stuff merged into the main emulator?

ask delroth

>>126965595
Didn't MAME try to sabotage their project so that it couldn't be ported to libretro anymore?

>>126970992
But does it break any accuracies that have been reached by the main branch?

>>126961725
If you sucked Stallman's cock any harder you'd give yourself an aneurysm

>>126970147
That's a fair point actually

Latency testing is fairly difficult without proper equipment because you often end up being the weakest link yourself. The only way I can manage is by booting up the DKC competition cartridge and running through a couple of stages, having autistically played the game for over twenty years helps noticing if something's off

>>126959073
Frankencast now incorporates code from MAME too

It'll soon become the best Dreamcast emulator in existence

Prepare yourselves

>>126970930
>Why aren't its optimizations and other stuff merged into the main emulator?
Because neobrain and delroth literally want you to pay more for better hardware to run their shitfest and they barely even work on it anymore anyway but still block anything they don't like. They said they had to discontinue DX9 support for the good of the "future" of Dolphin and yet wow, Ishiiruka still has it and works fine, even merges a ton of shit from the main with no problem. So either the guy behind Ishiiruka is a programming god or delroth and neobrain are just poser retards.

Wouldn't a used Wii be better to use as an "emulation machine" compared to a raspberry pi?

There's RetroPi though

>>126971634
If you want to struggle with an ancient ver of RA I guess

>>126971634
Only for easy 15KHz 240p over component or S-video.

>>126971820
Yeah and it's complete garbage — they're aiming for the shit-eating PSP audience basically

>>126974834
everything beats vanilla retroarch with rgui though

>>126975719

GLUI/MaterialUI and XMB have been the default for close to half a year now.

Like, seriously, get with the program already.

>>126975719
Shoddy SDL ports of ancient emulators with speedhacks out the ass have got nothing on RA and all the work put into its cores, shit-eater

>>126976578
It isn't a default if I get retroarch and when I start it up I see rgui. That's not what a 'default' is. If I have to go figure out how to enable some alt gui by searching online or fucking around libretro's forums or whatever, that's not a default.

>>126976713
>all the work put into its cores
Not him but it seems to be work on irrelevant things rather than relevant ones. Refactoring everything 3 times and all that.
