/emugen/ Emulation General: No Scanlines Edition

BALLLS

Scanlines are best when they're not noticed. Not with these weird guys who want them to stand out more than the game itself.

>>78897251
THIRD.
Without scanlines it looks a hell lot better.

>>78897251
Finally no scanlines.

>>78897538
Scanlines look like balls.

Let's discuss how Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance is one of the hardest games to write an emulator for ever. Totally boned the PCSX2 devs and is buggy on Dolphin.

I wonder if Dolphin devs not getting the half screen bug could offer some clue to PCSX2 devs on how to fix it? But probably not since they're different consoles and the way the game works on PS2 may be very different from how it works on GCN.

>>78898170
How many fps you are getting with Baldurs Gate on Dolphin and with what CPU/GPU/resolution ?

>>78898170
GC/Wii dont use GCN.

>>78898260
It totally varies wildly depending on how many enemies or other stuff is on the screen. It can be anywhere from 60 at the title screen to 9.

But then the VPS is basically always at 60 except when memory card saving or loading

CPU: i5 4440
GPU: Intel HD 4600 (ha ha very funny guys)
2x resolution.

>>78898476
Oh and as the pics indicated, OGL is much better FPS-wise than D3D

>>78898476
I think 24 the Game on PCSX2 may be even slower and its recognised as a bug.

>>78898476
Back to the future, Tales of monkey Island and all off Telltele games are also super slow.

>>78898476
Do you have any Intel specific graphical bugs in this game ?

>>78897251
Wow, someone used my OC

>>78897740
>>78897960
But it has scanlines, you just can't notice them because i took the picture about 10 inches away from the screen

>>78898939
Not that I know of but shadows look a bit wrong, like stencil-style shadows rather than more typical ones, but it could just be an "artistic choice". Also I'm using RachelB's Intelfix build so if there would be the typical colored dots error on D3D I'm not getting it due to that.

>>78898764
>>78898880
Shadow Hearts 1 for PS2 is also another game that on HW mode is slow for some reason even on a PC that can run it fine in SW mode. I don't quite understand what causes these kinds of errors. Oh but for Shadow Hearts it's only in the field, not in battle or in FMVs.

>>78899424
Fullscreen effects tends to do that sometimes like underwater in ape escape 2 or underwater in REC:VX

I think some emulators just poorly emulate some game engines.

>>78899596
True, that was taken from my shitty phone.

>>78899757
I wouldnt use it anyway with retroarch shitty gui and lack of DirectX.

>>78900102
>actually wanting to use DirectX

get out

>>78900178
Why not I dont care about freetard shit. Directx is still better for some games in Dolphin.

Do you guys think it's worth it to get an i7 over an i5 for PS2/GC/Wii emulation?

>>78900637
No, emulators rely far, far more on single-threaded performance. All an i7 would do is get you hyperthreading which is next to useless.

>>78900816
>>78900637
Could be mildly useful in software mode with PCSX2

>>78900637
>>78900816
Hyperthreading helps in pcsx2 software mode.

>>78901138
>>78901169
Yes software mode is multithreaded. Gabest did at least one thing right.

>>78900102
DirectX9 and shaders with Intel are still broken in RA. Not to mention SRM files in Genesis core.

I didn't even know there was a new thread.
This was made two hours ago.

New thread posts, please use a picture to grab attention.

Is there a cracked version of DraStic android NDS emulator around anywhere? The one listed in the wiki gives a licensing failure message and fails to load.

>>78904195
Use Lucky Patcher.

>>78904620
And GooglePlay Mod Helpus.

Why does the dev build of Dolphin seem to have worse performance in some games than the stable build?

>>78904741
Because it's less stable

>>78904741
more accuracy = less performance

>>78904741
Dev builds should be far faster after Fiora JIT improvements but some games may have regressions. Report them on GoogleCode.

Read this stupid article about 4chan.

What patch should I use with it?

>>78899551
Why not merge it anyway and just have the guy that wrote it maintain it?

You mean merge GSDX into a core ? Well probably no one willl create any new GS plugin anyway. But Gabest isnt interested in maintaining it.

Anyone have some kind of image guide of setting up dolphin for xenoblade?

I've read the thread and wiki. Applied the FPS patch as well as custom textures and it's fully stable. But I was wondering if there was anything else i could do to optimize the game.

Or to optimize dolphin in general for pure quality, only just found out about DSP LLE and feel stupid for not using it earlier.

what does dsp LLE do over HLE?

I'm using dolphin, and having trouble with xenoblade. i get a "reading disc" message. i let it run for a little bit then stopped it. how do i get passed this? using 4.0-652.

>>78912239

everything

>>78912390
Well considering my save files aren't working when I switch over to LLE I think I'll pass.

>>78912302
consider running the latest git builds perhaps instead of some old random shit

>>78912302
I'm using 4.0-2763 and no problems on xenoblade

>>78912743
just downloaded that version, and it works. i think the dolphin i'm using isn't meant for anything other than project m netplay, which is the main reason i downloaded it anyway, lol.

>>78913460
life saver, 10/10. saved the info incase i need it again. anything else i need to know? so far i'm off to a rocky start.

>>78913614
Well if you're stupid like me you'll sit there at the "Press any button" screen spamming "A" which if you set the classic controller normally is the "back" button aka you can't get past the starting screen without pressing the ACTUAL "B" button.
Other than that embarrassing note, don't be surprised if you get fps when it's your first time doing some things. The first time you see that flashy move in combat? Yeah it might drop some frames. After that it'll basically remember it since you emulated once before and you'll have no problems. Uh... 4x native is pretty sweet, recommend it. Anti-Aliasing is a pretty big slow down unless your machine is gud. OGL is usually better
Other than that, not really much to say.

>>78913943
ah, i'll try using 4x.
i tried using the NTSC version, but i thought that was the problem, so now i'm using a PAL version. should i just re-download the NTSC, or get the 30fps patch for pal?

>>78914120
I'm using the pal version with the 30 fps patch. Zero problems on my end.

>>78914226

That's where state saves are but I dunno where you'd find the actual save files using the in game function
>>78914546
Uh...You got me beat on this one. I don't remember doing anything other than putting in the xenoblade iso and the patch.ppf then clicking apply
Try running it as admin?

>>78914546
make sure nothing is trying to access the .iso run as admin make sure you're selecting the good .iso and you should be good

>>78914740
what are the saves listed as? there's no save data folder in that section. maybe my save data is messing with the patch.

Ew. Why in the HELL would you not use a portable.txt file? Shared saves and configurations between versions with no proper backup is asking for a disaster. And simply updating is a backup in itself otherwise.

Are there any good MAME or NeoGeo emulators on PSP? Google just gives me these shady spanish links

>>78914862
Dolphin/User/Wii/title/#(My Xenoblade is 00010001, not sure if that's consistent)/

>>78914887
I just started using dolphin about a month ago. How do you do the portable txt file?

>>78915051
Create a new text file called portable.txt in Dolphin's program folder, the one with the exe.

>>78915116
that's it? What does it even do

no-intro NDS i don't kno how long it will take before seeding starts since i need to reverify all that shit but it shouldn't be too long

>>78915352
Makes Dolphin use its folder instead of spewing shit in your user folder. This allows multiple installs of Dolphin without conflict or overwriting.

>>78915387
Do you have a date of how recently it was checked against No-Intro's database and if it's complete?

>>78915424
Oh. Well alright then. Thanks I guess

Useful knowledge though

>>78915472
Yes, under Wii/title. It's one of the numbers.
Save images is a texture cache issue. I prefer fucked saves over the native resolution framebuffer effects and performance hit that comes with the fix.

I'm pretty sure thats totally wrong
LLE audio in general just sounds better not only in Dolphin but other emulators as well

>>78917060
Placebo. AX hle is basically perfect and the output is 100% identical to lle/a real gamecube.

>>78917186
it's a tasty placebo if everyone with any sort of knowledge when it comes to emulation agrees LLE is better

Nestopia UE

News - September 1, 2014

1.46 is out.
The main highlight is that the unix/cross-platform build has been 98% rewritten.
The changes made in this release cycle should make everything much more
maintainable, and enable me or anyone else to add frontend features more easily.

Plans going forward:
The cross-platform release will be brought up to parity with the legacy Windows release.
The only thing left to do at this point is implementing the exotic input devices. That
will be a focus for the next release cycle.
The libretro release will continue to be a rolling release.
The legacy Windows release is still being maintained for the time being, but
it will be discontinued as soon as the new cross-platform build is capable of
replacing it.
The core is going to receive more focus in the future as well.

What's the point of D3D in RetroArch? If you are going to play 2D cores just use gl or sdl. Even if you use D3D the libretro-gl cores like PPSSPP and Mupen64 will force RetroArch to unload the D3D driver and load the GL one.

>>78923184
Learn to do it yourself. Its not hard.

>>78923456

>>78924014

>>78924023
The DS was easy to make games for, and very cheap. It also sould 150+ million units. There's an INCREDIBLE amount of poorly made shovelware on it, much more than any console to date, much more so than on the Wii; this inflates the Library so much, as a result the DS has over 6000 games but half of those are simply garbage.

Give it to me straight doc, will my pc be able to run xenoblade smoothly?

Currently it runs at around 20 - 25 fps during the intro battle, and the constant fps drops seem to fuck with the sound pretty badly

>>78922313
Did anybody test this?

>>78926273
I have no idea about being able to run Xenoblade, but you should be worried about those temps.

>>78926273
for dolphin you'll get stutters and fps drops the first time you emulate that part of the game sometimes
Sooo to know how your computer will actually fair, do the following
>go through the intro battle
>restart emulation do it again while looking at the fps
the switch the OGL or d3d depending on which you were using before and repeat the first two steps

>>78926273
>>78926428
Seriously man, get some better cooling for that motherboard, you don't want it to burn out.

>>78926273
how do you go about viewing your specs like this?

>>78923653

DirectX is not portable, and making that possible through the libretro API would encourage devs to make non portable cores by extension.

So it doesn't sound like a good idea.

May I ask how does Fast Forward works on Retroarch? It seems to be tied with VSync. I can't get any core to go past 100fps.

New menu driver in the works by some dude. Don't expect it for 1.1 though.

>>78927439
removes framelimit
the faster your pc is the faster fast forward is

>>78926428
What are good temps? CPU and motherboard are at 45~ for me. Graphics card is at 53.

>>78927660
Seems dumb since RA can't use analog input for navigation.
Looks cool though.

>>78927793
No, you don't seem to understand.

I can't get any core to go past 100fps at all. Everything is locked at 100fps when I remove the frame limit. From Mednafen PSX, bSNES, to Nestopia. Nothing goes past 100fps. And if I can get 100fps on Mednafen PSX, there's no reason why Nestopia shouldn't go way past 100fps.

A while back I was messing with my settings and I forced Vsync on the GPU and suddenly, Fast Forward wouldn't work anymore on Retroarch. So it's definitely tied to VSync.

>>78927660
Everyone will switch back to rgui after the novelty factor wears off.

>>78926468
Running it in OGL twice didn't change much, and it ran pretty poorly in D3D. The major issue is the sound, the slight frame drop isn't too jarring but the sound gets real annoying.

>>78926428
>>78926602
I never noticed my PC was running at these temps, probably because i've never had any issues with it. I'll probably just grab another fan same time I get an SSD.

How so? You just control the cursor going left right up and down. It'd make selecting cores much easier.

>>78928097
i guess RA needs to callibrate to your system

1. run retroarch but don't load any game.
2. go to the video options menu
3. disable fullscreen
4. and enable the vsync option but disable hard gpu vsync.
5. enable fullscreen
6. let it run until the frame deviation (the %) gets to the lowest value and press x (or whatever you mapped the A button to) to save the frame rate.
7. toggle vsync off
8. restart retroarch

>>78928531
I know, but it kinda reminds me of that Metro GUI for Windows 8.1

>>78927945
I'd consider that to be in the acceptable range, though if I had the money I would try adding a case fan or two to see if that would bring those temps down some more.

>>78928097
Maybe there's a bug with how RA reports FPS when it gets really high? I have no idea, since I don't use fast forward at all.

Has it improved performance wise at all?

>Does all that refactoring even provide any kind of benefit to the user
If you don't care for the developers in a FOSS project you end up with shit like the PCSX-R or FreeDO codebase. 1.1 has a lot of shit for the users, the menu/settings refactoring is probably the only thing SP is doing to help coders.
>or is it just SP going all NIH over maisters code?
It's not "muh nih", maister coded the menu stuff well but it was inflexible and only accounted for RGUI. Also, the settings code was, afaik, pretty much coupled with the menu driver code which led to setting-code duplication in lakka and in other projects.

>>78929779

Refactoring isn't about making things better for end users, at least not directly. It's about making things more maintainable for developers so they can more easily make changes down the line that will benefit end users.

>>78929643
Assuming you haven't overclocked and are using the stock heatsink fan, there is no reason for your temps to be that high unless you live in a place like Texas with no air-conditioning. So yeah, try reseating it with a new application of thermal compound. A pea sized glob in the center is all you need.

I think you might be able to run some 2D stuff like Disgaea and maybe Odin Sphere

>>78931383

That was about the fucking Wii version, dumbass. The Wii hardly has any resources for extra features like that.

>>78931336
Hard to say at this point. The tests on TASvideos were ran using now-older versions of both emulators. The version used to test Nestopia in particular was the ancient as fuck 1.40 "final" version released by the original dev before he disappeared. Lots of improvements have been made to it since then. puNES has also had improvements.

One thing puNES definitely does not have over Nestopia is libretro integration. So no shader support outside the couple it has baked-in, for starters. Compatibility-wise, it may have slightly better mapper support, but I don't know if anyone has tested thoroughly on that front.

>>78931482
Odin Sphere, huh?
I've been wanting to check that one out since I played Dragon's crown.
You think I'll be able to play it at a full 30/60 fps with no graphical bothers?

Also this is less related to your answer, but what about DesMuMe?

>>78922051
I've played Okami and Kingdom Hearts, all on full 60fps, at 1.5x internal res, on a similar Laptop CPU, i3 380M, it was @2.53GHz though, but you do have a better GPU than what I did.

A lot of games will be very playable. You just need to try configurations and different builds depending on the game.

>>78931829
You might get some frame drops in more hectic fights. I had a core2duo that ran Odin Sphere at 44ish fps, so I don't see why you shouldn't be able to get 60.

Also Desmume is fine on even low end machines unless you go with the version that can up resolution and then up rez insanely

>>78931829
>>78932138
Also you need to make sure your laptop is on performance settings or whatever to get the most power out of it. But I'd be scared about those temps. Playing games for too long could cause problems, so I'd try to get the temps down

Hey guys, I'm having trouble finding an American ISO of DMC3 Special Edition. I found a European one, and, I was gonna settle with that, but, for some reason, it's locked at 50 FPS, so, then, I try a Japanese version, and it's at 60. What gives?

European PAL TV standard is 50hz which translates to 50 fps. Murika and Japan are 60. Why they decided this I dunno but it probably goes back to the 50s or some shit

Back in the day it was easier to sync things to the frequency the mains ran at, so some places got 50hz and others got 60hz.

>>78933028
lol, which major country still hasn't converted to the Metric system? PS: I'm an American.

>>78933380
I didn't say Americans weren't dumb too.

Problem with both situations is that you have to alienate the older group to bring progress from the younger group.

The 50 hz vs 60 hz is fucking stupid though and could have been fixed easily at any point in time.

>>78933028
At least they had Scart

>>78933696
>The 50 hz vs 60 hz is fucking stupid though and could have been fixed easily at any point in time.

PAL TVs support 60hz since the early 90ies, most game devs have simply been too lazy to include a 60hz mode.

>>78933696
Well it's not just Hz, but also resolution. PAL is 576i compared to 480i, so they'd either have to decrease that, or update everything to cope with more bandwidth.

PAL 50hz was superior for watching actual televeision, since it was higher resolution, had better color and most things are filmed at a low frame rate anyway.

No, this is a different issue with shaders that used "half" types messing up Nvidia. This has been fixed already. Intel was not affected by this issue.

Your issue is unrelated to this and apparently limited to a specific chipset because other Intel graphics chipsets are reported as working correctly.

!!!!DELETING THE SOURCE FILES!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>78952938
windows only shit

>>78954237
For what possible reason would you want to keep ECM files sitting around?

>>78954557
no. your script is deleting files.
FUCK YOUR BULLSHIT.

srsly.

>>78954823
Yeah, files you have no possible use for anymore. I fail to see the problem.

>>78955196
you fail to see the problem because you are fail.
deleting anything without user interaction is bad form and deleting from a script is permanent.

>>78955816
Then get rid of the delete commands if it bothers you so much, or don't use it. I don't care, it works fantastically for me.

>>78955196
Sometimes shit doesn't unrar right and you need to redo it.

You just fucked that guy pretty hard if some of his files got corrupted during the unrar process.

>>78954823
>being this fucking retarded

can anyone help me out on setting the controls of retroarch on android? I'm trying to set touch screen controls for the DS and I cant find the menu for it.

>>78956542
The only time I've ever had a problem with unarchiving is when I don't have space on the harddrive for the unarchived files, which my script aims to solve by deleting files along the way.

>>78957318
You're falling into the classic "it works for me so it must work for everyone" routine that every developer does.

>>78952003
try this one.

put unecm.exe in the same dir as all the rars.

>>78956774
Do I need swype? Or should I just get rid of retroarch all together?

>>78957852
Please respond this is driving me insane.

>>78957708
You're falling into the classic "it doesn't work for me so it must be a problem with the program instead of something on my end" routine that every end user does.

>>78958913
no. you a shit.
it doesn't matter if it works well, for you or the end user "most of the time".
Your script is fine for you. great. just be aware that deleting files is bad form and either:
a) create a prompt letting the user decide or know what's happening
or
b) don't fucking do that.

>>78959304
or you can fucking read the code and stop being a whiny little bitch about it.

>>78959569
i don't need that shit, but some poor schmuck who can't read code won't be able to do that.
own up to your shitty dev practices anon.

>>78956774

>>78958420

wait for the next version.

And why would you need swype???

>>78959819
Fuck off with your stupidity if you cant read. No one cares about your whining.

>>78959819
My script is clearly commented. If he's such an idiot that he can't figure out what does what, I have no pity for him on the off chance something does go wrong.

Are you so dumb you cant read what that shit does?

You clearly don't even know what that expression means. Go away.

Why haven't you played Kirby Canvas Curse on your tablet yet

Also, what is the cheapest Win 8 tablet that can run Dolphin at a playable speed? Just curious

>>78961351
the surface pro II might be okay for a few games.

Holy shit this was scary. Glad I skipped that particular build and they fixed it in time.

>/emugen/ End of summer dead general

>>78970137
but you're still here, anon

>>78970137
Good.
Maybe we can talk about emulators again.

>>78970224
True
I'm always here

>>78970380
Well
d3d works better for me than OGL on dolphin

>>78970520
You fucking whore.

So are SSDs still terribad?

>>78970882
Good for speed, but don't expect durability.
Read/write too much and it'll be dead.

>>78970821
Yeah I dunno
I'm not really knowledge on emulation but I get consistent 30 fps on TLS with d3d.
OGL gives me drops like cuhrazy in some games
OGL is supposed to be the better one usually, right?
is there something wrong with my computer, doc?

>>78971040
any data for that?
