Emulation General

>>2885081
>the faster we can force shitty rips out of circulation
we have what we have and just because there is something new of something old doesn't mean that's what people have.
If good versions of a game are better, they will rise to the top, but
telling someone to "download a proper rip" is a pathetic excuse for inherent incompatibility.
please go and fuck yourself with this kind of feeble attempt at legitimizing a crappy emulator.

>>2885234
Not the guy you are arguing with, but bin+cue/etc is considered the proper format for PS1 rips. This is because of the number of multi-track games. I use bin+cue when I use epsxe as well, since it supports it. Why would you want to use a sub-par rip?

>>2885234
Your entire post is fucking retarded. If a rip doesn't work on real hardware, then it doesn't work in Mednafen is therefore shit, period.

Only crappy emulators allow broken rips like that.

>>2885234

>>2885369

Depends: are you looking for emulation on a budget? Then yes. But if you want the full monty, a desktop (Mac or PC) with some hefty specs is your best bet.

>>2885172
I asked in the last thread near the end, and I didn't get much, so I'll ask again.

I downloaded Metal Gear Solid: Integral for the PC.

I know this is Emulation general...but I figure people on here would be best fit to help. I'd like to avoid emulation if possible...because I'm lazy and lack a gamepad.

The visuals themselves work and so does the game...the only problem is that there is no sound, and it runs in windowed mode but that's a side problem, I've downloaded patches and that didn't seem to do anything.

>Newer Hardware, NVIDIA GeForce 750Ti, Windows 10.
>I've put the .exe in compatability settings and no change.
>I've had this game before on the same PC, the only difference is my OS (used to be Windows 7) and the Graphics Card.

I really want to play this game again...but I'm at a loss of how to solve my issue, any help would be appreciated.

If I should download different ISO's or different cracks...where should I look? I've googled for a while and I only turned up what I have now.

>>2885414
hell if i know man, it really has nothing to do with emulation

>>2885416
I know...but like I said, It's either ask here with people that likely have tried to do this before or make a whole new thread.

if no one can help me here I guess I'll just have to ask the whole board.

>>2885414
What emulator are you using? I must have missed the question in the last thread.

>>2885424
Not using an emulator.

I downloaded the ISO's and cracks.

I would like to AVOID emulating it, since I lack a gamepad...and I'm lazy.

>>2885414
>>2885414
I've never needed a crack to run metalgear. Currently have it set up on pcsx. Never had trouble with others though. What site did you get the file from. (I've always used emuparadise)

>>2885428
You don't need a gamepad to emulate. It doesn't really take more than 2 seconds to install an emulator on windows. I've used epsxe and mednafen as well. Always works fine.

>>2885430
iso zone.


http://theisozone.com/downloads/pc/windows-games/metal-gear-solid-1-pc/

if you could point me to a website with the full game for the PC, that would be cool.

>>2885432
oh really? It doesn't need a gamepad?

anytime I've looked it up guides everyone always said you needed a gamepad.

>>2885448
You'll have to map the controls to your keyboard but that's pretty easy in most emulators and some do it by default. What release of windows are you using? I know 7 has an xp mode. You might need to run it in that.

>>2885285
ISO and other formats are fine for multitrack images, which is what plenty of games are ripped as.
bin+cue is ONLY needed for multitrack CD's, and CD's have been BULLSHIT since forever now.
again, please go fuck yourself with your "proper" rip nonsense.
>>2885307
>doesn't work on real hardware....and is therefore shit.
you are a completely deluded fucktard who should stay away from this medium:
There are plenty of awesome rips out there for a multitude of emulators which will never run on real hardware.

>>2885454
I'm using windows 10.

everything you need to know is in my original post
>>2885414

>>2885454
Also...can I map controls to my keyboard AND mouse? or just keyboard?

>>2885460
Not sure if 10 has an xp mode but I'm pretty sure that's where the problem lies. PC software that old is bound to have problems on 10. I think it would be faster for you to just emulate. If you have the processing power (doesn't take much and you likely do) you could always fire up windows xp using virtual box and test it in that to see if that's where your problem lies.

Yeah, you can map it to both keyboard and mouse. I haven't done that in years so off the top of my head I don't know which epsxe, mednafen, or pcsx does it easier.

>>2885478
You'll be able to actually play it using xp in virtualbox as well.

>>2885480
well since I already have a working copy of MGS, I'll see if Virtualbox has what I need. if not...I'll try to get the PSX version and emulate.

just download virtualbox and it emulates other OS's?

>>2885482
Yes. You'll need to download a copy of XP though. You'll find them on any of the torrent sites. You just mount the iso with virtualbox and it installs really quick b/c it doesn't actually have to read from a physical disc. The virtualbox software will walk you through everything else for improved performance once it's installed (like using your actual gpu, it sounds complicated but it isn't they lay it all out for you once xp is installed.)

Aside from the problems most people have with it, windows 10 is significantly less reliable and much more finnicky as far as playing old PC games, and in some cases using emulators

>>2885458
>There are plenty of awesome rips out there for a multitude of emulators which will never run on real hardware.

What the fuck is awesome about that? It makes life harder for people who want to burn images to CD-R and play them on a real console, and for what?

>>2885536
I've had few problems with windows 10.

This recent issue has been the only one I can think of.

I can run DOOM, Duke Nukem 3D. and plenty of other old games on it just fine.

>>2885536
Most of the problems lay in the fact legacy and xp games installed to completely different file structures. Windows 10 is ok for modern gaming. (I don't like that it spies on me so I mainly stick to linux.) I dual boot btw it or 7 and linux on all my machines. I tend to virtualize xp on my linux os though b/c it's lighter on resources.

>>2885546
The more popular the pc game the less problems you'll likely run into. Most people would just emulate mgs so they likely didn't fix the compatibility for the pc version. Not much demand.

>>2885546
>DOOM, Duke Nukem 3D
those are like the easiest games to play ever on like any operating system

In Specs wouldn't an Amazon Fire TV be an ok device for retro-gaming? I'm obviously new to the general but wouldn't it be possible on this Android based device? I think I read somewhere that you can sideload apps so something like RetroArch would work, no?

>>2885712
It was at one point but amazon has taken steps to prevent rooting or doing anything fun with their devices. It will likely get bricked on you through an update. People have been installing kodi on top of their software for a bit. The hardware is capable but amazon actually makes no money off selling the devices. Thus they may choose to brick you for not using services that generate them income. It's pretty shitty imo.

>>2885712
By "side loading" you are basically losing 20-50% of the hardware's capability. The resources are too limited. Kodi sure. Retroarch... unlikely. The devices are built to a specific purpose.

>>2885786
huh sideloading takes more resources?

>>2885458
>bin+cue is ONLY needed for multitrack CD's, and CD's have been BULLSHIT since forever now.
...which is what the PS1 uses. We aren't discussing other formats, so I don't know why you are spazzing out over other formats. Why the hell would you bring up a point only to defeat it with the very next sentence? Are you completely retarded?

>>2885172
I was actually considering buying an rpi for a while, but I think I changed my mind thanks to this thread.

I can't support a company that actually pays people to shitpost on MY chinese girl cartoon image board.

>>2885829
Yes. You're loading it alongside anything currently running on the device. (The interface, it's updates, it's data collection, etc) It's a confusing and unnecessary term I'll admit. Think of it like most os's. You can shut off unnecessary services/software and focus those resources on what you're actually doing. You can't do that with an amazon fire tv. Shutting down their services to free up more resources will brick your device. Thus, "side-loading" which really only means being forced to run your software alongside theirs. I feel people have a right to root the hardware they pay for. Amazon isn't making money on the hardware though. They are making money on the service. You are the product in this case. Amazon isn't necessarily wrong about this. If they were genuinely generating decent income off the hardware then I'd feel differently.

>>2885852
Yes... b/c that's what the Rpi NONPROFIT is doing. They're employees and founder make what is legally allowed for NONPROFIT status. They have constantly sold more than what is profitable and no one has gotten rich off it. Go figure.

>>2885858
Like I'd believe some fucking shill. There's no way someone shitposting this much isn't getting paid for it.

rpi isn't even good for emulation, why do you keep making it the OP pic? And posting a new thread five seconds after we hit bump limit is next level shitposting, especially on /vr/. There's no way anyone would do that unless they were desperate for their shill bux.

>>2885868
Well I agreed to use a different pic in the last post. I was too lazy to search for a new one this time and they don't let you use the same one. Pi2 performs exactly as advertised with regards to retro emulation. Check out one of the many youtube videos. People that dislike it are computer illiterate. I do like the product. It's plugged into my living room tv, as well as many original "retro" consoles (9 if you're curious). I have the nvidia shield on the tv in my bedroom as well as my self built gaming pc. I emulate on many devices. From time to time I even do on my laptop, phone, and tablet if I'll be traveling for a bit. I enjoy emulation that works well. My Pi2 is great for it's purposes. I'll go ahead and link a pic to the NVidia shield next thread if it makes you feel better.

Is ps2 emulation on point now days?

what emulators are really solid for the 2000's era?

>>2887382
>Is ps2 emulation on point now days?
Depends on what you mean. Out of the 2500ish games, PCSX2 can run about 2400ish more or less correctly. If you mean accuracy, I have no idea just how accurate PCSX2 is.

>what emulators are really solid for the 2000's era?
Well, there's PCSX2, Dolphin, and....that's about all I know of.

>>2885458
ISO 9660 can't have non blocked data. Redbook audio is the most common form of this, but not the only.

>>2885617
Neo.EMU has been good to me, as has GENPLUSDroid. NeoGeo and Sega Master System/Sega Genesis respectively. GameGear emulation is really screwie on GENPLYSDroid though.

>>2885620
I have a job, and things to do in the weekend. Retroarch is it if the question, unbilled it comes setup now and I've missed it.

>>2887609

/g/ here:

What specs are required to run PCSX2 at full speed?

Any idea if it's faster or slower than GC (Dolphin) on the same hardware? Relative importance of CPU vs GPU (i.e, can I run on a recent laptop with integrated grafix)?

Need beefy single core or spreads well over 4+?

I have some rare Stallmans I'll post in exchange for good info.

>>2887643

Are you using a free software operating system?

If so then Retroarch is great. (Apparently there are builds for the Botnet too, don't use it).

It works and can play games out of the box with no problems.

Getting it setup *exactly* how you want can still take a bit of time, e.g. setting up system-specific settings (gameboy games in green, roll off the highs on the genesis, 8:7 vs 4:3 for snes, etc)

I highly recommend you take the additional hour or so to learn and setup EmulationStation, as it provides a much nicer frontend and makes browsing your Rom collection better with boxart, date released etc.

>>2887682
Humm. I'm on vanilla Android (Nexus phone), using a build from Fdroid. Maybe I'll give it another shot

>>2887653
It depends on the game. There are PS2 and GC games that you can run on a pentium 3, and there are ones that literally can not be run on currently existing hardware.

The CPU is the most important, and single core performance is usually all that matters, but if you use PCSX2's software mode, which is necessary for some games eg Ace Combats, then you'd want to have 8 cores more than top tier per core performance.

You don't need much of a GPU for the most part, but it can become the bottleneck if you're trying to do 4k IR with 8xSSAA or something.

ok. I just know that my late 2013 macbook (i5-3210M, HD4000) only averages about ~45 fps on Super Mario Sunshine, which is enough to make it "unplayable" for me. It'll do 60 fps sometimes (staring at a wall), but then drop to 20-30 about half the time when I'm running around which kind of ruins it. No fancy settings, just trying to play it in original resolution without that fucking awful 480i composite quality.

Might have a go at PS2 then, just gotta clear some hard drive space for the isos etc.

>>2887717
If you dualboot it into linux you'll find emulation is much better. I've got a 2014 macbook with similar specs but a hd5000 gpu. Runs smooth as butter.

Alright guys I got a problem for you.

I open Retroarch.
Trying to play some Ocarina of Time.
I go and get MUPEN64+ core.
I soon discover it runs poorly.
I am told online to change my graphics driver from OPENGL to D3D.
I make the change and now Ocarina of Time runs perfectly.
Decide to switch over to some SNES games.
I went into the settings in BSNES to see if changing to D3D would allow me to use accuracy mode rather than balanced mode.
It still would not.
I was able to play Super Mario World just fine for the remainder of the session.
When I closed Retroarch and reopened it I was no longer able to play SNES games using any BSNES core.
Even mercury cores for BSNES will not work. The games appear to load and then crash at the last second.
I thought this was perhaps a problem caused by changing the video driver to D3D.
I go into the settings for each one of the BSNES cores and I intend to change them all back to OPENGL.
They are already set to OPENGL despite how I changed them earlier.
I try changing them to D3D as well and that still crashes.
There is no error message aside from "Retroarch.exe has stopped working."
Does anybody know what I did wrong here? I am genuinely confused about all this. I even deleted the core files and redownloaded fresh new ones and it still crashes just the same.

>>2889049
I have never gotten OOT to work with retroarch. If someone has a solution I'd like to know. I just play it on my N64 but that's a pain to pull out of the closet.

>>2889060
Yeah I hate fighting with all the wires too. For me all I had to do was get MUPEN64+ core or whatever exact name it is from the core downloads in Retroarch. Then You set your video driver to D3D instead of OPENGL and it should work just fine. No more lag or skippy music. But be warned it might fuck all your other games up like mine did. I can only run SNES games in BSNES accuracy now, and my PC really can't handle that so I basically can't play them anymore unless I go and pull the SNES out of the closet and blow the dust out of my cartridges. But we both know that would involve standing up.

>>2889049
Mupen64plus only works with OpenGL. If Glide64 plugin runs poorly, try using Rice or GLN64. They'll have more glitches but they will run faster.

>I went into the settings in BSNES to see if changing to D3D would allow me to use accuracy mode rather than balanced mode.

D3D would only make a difference if your GPU was really awful at running OpenGL. bsnes accuracy is highly CPU intensive, so it doesn't matter if it's D3D or OpenGL. Just use Balanced because it's twice as fast and just as accurate except for one game that uses mid-scanline effects.

Are you using per-game configs? Turn that off for now, and set video_driver = "gl" in the base retroarch.cfg and try again.

Also, you can get the error console log to file by launching RA from the cmd line like this:

retroarch --menu --verbose >> log.txt 2>&1

>>2889068
Well now I have no idea what kind of ghost power shit I have concocted. Thank you I will try this out.

I'm new to emulating MAME and I'm having issues. I'm trying to emulate Time Crisis 2. I dumped the zip file in the roms directory and went into the command window and entered the rom name but I can't run it. Required files are missing, which I'm guessing means it's not detecting the rom file.

Time Crisis 2 is a pretty recent game; I would be surprised if it could be emulated at this point.

>>2890082

I fixed it but Time Crisis 2 doesn't run properly, which is unfortunate. I really like light gun games.

So trying to run Red Earth in the latest version of Final Burn Alpha and trying to coin up and start the game gives an ingame error of No CD Rom Drive. Is there something wrong with the rom I found?

Also for some reason the options for creating and inserting Neo Geo memory cards is greyed out even while I'm running a Neo Geo game. Do I need a more recent BIOS or something to enable those options? Or is there something else I have to do in order to use memory cards on the Neo Geo roms?

Just bought a raspberry pi from my m8 with cables and shit for 20 bucks.

Why does this fucking thing lag playing goddamn Super Metroid? With 700 MHz processing power it should definitely better that the SNES with only ~4 MHz processing power. Even running an operating system and a couple programs.

Why is the emulation for Rpi so shit? Is model 2 any better? Does anyone have the same problems as me with Model 1B?

>>2890715
You fucked up getting a raspi. Just get a pc and use that instead.

>>2890894

I'm afraid I must agree with this anon. I'm sure some other fucko will come in here as a veritable "101 Uses for Raspberry Pi 26 Volume Compendium" and start rattling off every goddamned virtue of the little shit. But I always find myself saying "...And? So what?...Meh." to each and every one.

>>2890085

I've never emulated PS2 before, do they generally work well?

>>2890998

No, PS2 emulation is an incomplete GPU-hogging nightmare.

How do you switch shaders in retroarch ?
I tried to find it in retroarch itself but there doesn't seem to be an option for it, I can change it with the hotkey i set up to close down the fullscreen game with my gamepad (select) and then pressing m or n to filter through them but it only takes the ones in the root folder and not any of the subfolders for some reason, do I need to move the shaders out of the subfolders into the rootfolder or how does this work ?

Should I build an emulation HTPC that can emulate Saturn and higher or just not bother and get something that can do like 16 bit and PS1

>>2891137
ah it think I understand how it works now, you simply move the shaders from the subfolders into the root folder and then filter through them with the hotkey + m.
Seems strange that it wont pick up shaders in subfolders though.

Best shader? Lotte Halation seems pretty good but what do you guys use?

>>2891334
it depends on the game, but usually a halftone and waterpaint shader in retroarch.

How are the SNES flash cart things? The Ever Drives. I've got a harmony cart for the atari and it's perfect.

>>2891137
The hotkeys only cycle through cg and cgp in the folder set for shader_directory.

In the menu, you can setup the shader chain in Shader Options in the Quick Menu once you are running a game.

the emulation wiki doesn't seem to help in learning terminology. yes i am so fucking stupid that i don't know what it means to be 'open source' or 'closed source', i don't know what a plug-in is, or why that would make it a better format. I don't know anything.

so where can i go to find all this out and more? unless it's on the wiki and i'm apparently blind as well as retarded

Has anyone got reicast working on retroarch ?
All I get is the bootup sound and then a grey screen.

so just got a PC with decent specs, but it has windows 10. Is emulation worth it on windows 10?

>>2891334
I prefer hylian for for retro stuff and bilinear for ps1

>>2890998
yes very good. you can run games in 1080p in full speed unless you have a turd pc pretty 2012 or are stuck with loonix gnu

>>2893212
Just dualboot. If you don't want to install it onto your actual hard drive linux will install to a usb device and run perfectly fine on that. Just set your computer to boot from usb in the bios first.

>>2893212
Why wouldn't it be? It's the same exact shit.

>>2889175
What's the point of going through that effort if you're not going to use a CRT? What a moron

Just ordered some everdrives, anyone have any experience with these?

I've got my old consoles still around and for whatever reason I just prefer playing on the console with the controllers on the couch the old fashioned way. Even with a USB controller and hooking up my PC to my TV doesn't feel the same. Maybe my brain is just autistic.

Hope they work as well as advertised.

>>2893662
idk i just wanted to ask, i never emulated before but i really want to get into it

been out of the emulation loop for a while, whats the best emu for n64 for windows? still pj64/mupen64?
also are there any n64 emus that support video filters like scanlines/crt?

>>2893750

Everdrives are fine, as long as it's not some cheap chink knockoff.

You should really consider an upscaler if you're hooking your consoles up to an hdtv, though. Although the good ones are expensive.

>>2894040
>whats the best emu for n64 for windows?

Project64 is the most compatible.

Only RetroArch does, through its Mupen64Plus core.

If money were not an option for me, and all the old consoles/games stopped working, what would be the best way to emulate PSX, PS2, DC, 64, Saturn? (those are of my most interest)

Does having a gaming laptop mean that i'll be able to emulate smoother? I'm pretty much retarded

>>2898667
a windows desktop
>>2898668
it means that you can emulate on the go

>>2898691
Then why do people do crazy things like mod a wii, buy some chip, or pay for home brewed hardware? Is it not more stable?

>>2898701
Gonna play devil's advocate.

Mod a wii because most people seem to have one, and it's convenient as well as easy. Hell, you already have controllers to use without extra things needed.

Chips if you still want to use original software. It varies on preference.

Paying for homebrewed software is a fucking scam and I feel bad for anyone who's dumb enough to bite

>>2898701
a modded wii is great, but not for what you said you wanted.
ps2 & saturn is only really viable in windows
they sort of work in linux, but not well.
the others are also BEST on windows.
a desktop is simply the most bang for your buck.

>>2898713
>>2898725
Thank you, I don't know much about emulation but I at least wanted to know the best route to stability before diving in on the wiki.

>>2885528

>>2898725

>I assume N64 isn't possible?

And if so, which PSP model should I get, and where online is a good place to get one?

>>2899415
The N3DS is far better for all of those except GBA due to lacking TempGBA (gpSP is still good, though), and Atari since no one has bothered to port an emulator for it.

>>2898824

Can the PS3 controller work with the popular emulators?

>>2900437
You just need a program to make it work

There's motion joy that's push button for the standard controllers and I used it fine for a while, but other people will tell you it has chinese spyware in it or something, dunno how true that is, it's also a very ugly program

>>2900443
for each emulator, do I need to get a separate program, or does motion joy work fine for them all?

>>2900451
motion joy just converts the controller, I forget weather it converts it's input to xinput or to a 360 controller, you might get to choice

any truth to it? It recommends Input Wrapper.

>>2900485
I don't think I ever got input wrapper to work, same with x360ce or whatever, that shit screwed up my controller and made it permanently emulate as a 360 controller until I reinstalled windows, which was annoying with some emulators

>>2900485
Pretty much all games right before the PS2 era though can be played with the Buffalo SNES controller

it's like 15 bucks and works nice

Try the steel series USB controllers they're like 15-20 as well if you want to do PS2 games

>>2900492
yeah ps1 and ps2 are going to be what i emulate the most, and i figured a ps controller would be best. So how about the PS4 controller? Doesn't the ones you just recommended not have L1 and R1? I can just buy that, but if the Steel Series thing you mentioned looks as cozy, maybe.

>>2900504
This thing, it's basically just a PS2 USB controller, there's a lot like it, you could also just get a PS2 to USB adapter, the controller you use doesn't matter so long as it's xinput for compatibility

not sure why it's reviews are so bad

http://www.amazon.com/SteelSeries-Dual-Vibration-Gaming-Controller/dp/B0036WTVNG

>>2900508
Probably because it looks and maybe feels cheap. I've not used it, but money isn't an issue. I was mainly asking about playstaion controllers because I know they are durable and comfy. It just seems the ps3 controller specifically hasn't had good luck with emulation. However i do like to travel a lot and the cheaper controller might be best for the beat up with laptop gaming and transportation, so thanks for the recommendation, might pick one up next time I'm in best buy.

>>2900437
Yes, use scpdriver. Old versions work best, less bs.

>>2900563
This. Use SCPdriver. It's free, has no ads, or any possible spyware. The place where you download it has install instructions. Works with my PS3 controller for PuNES, Nestopia, FCEUX, Higan, RetroArch, ePSXe, PSX-R, Yabuse, NullDC, SSF, MAME, Kega FUSION, Gens, you name it.

Another good option(if you can solder) is to get one of those cheap ass $5 translucent blue PS1/PS2 controller adapters for USB, and replace the cord with a quality cord, since the one that comes with it is crappy and breaks quickly.

I'm guessing the Pi2 violated his booty.

>>2903993
So emulators being safe = bios downloading being safe?

>>2904295
The winds could shift at any moment but no one is prosecuting people for downloading retro bios files and games. They don't have some out of control organization like the MPAA hunting people who download stuff.

>>2904295

Unfortunately, no. In addition to copyright (which has been found to apply to BIOS') you have a lovely little ad-hoc piece of shit called "mask rights" which also apply and were literally made up by technology-baffled courts as they went along (led merrily down the path by tech companies such as Nintendo, of course).

As I said, you can't do _fuckall_ these days without some asshole Big Media middle-man wanting their never ending toll booth payment. Some even refuse to acknowledge Fair Use now because they know you'll never go through even a fraction of the money they can for it to see the inside of a court room.

>>2904286

No, it torched his barn and took all the livestock.

>>2904305

Whether they're prosecuting is another matter entirely. He asked whether it was "safe". I assumed that meant "legal".

>>2904373
I mean... blowjobs aren't legal in every state but there's no one arresting you for getting one.

>>2904390

True. Simple misunderstanding I suppose.

>>2904394
I'm not discounting the fact that if prosecution becomes profitable they won't start tomorrow. Like you said about the TPP. Who knows these days? The climate could shift at any time. But for now, I'd consider it safe.

Is emulating anything past PS1 maybe a pointless waste of time

>>2904461

Yes. Unless you like fucking around with settings and compatibility lists more than playing the game.

>>2904461
Depends both on your hardware and the game. I emulate a lot of the PS2 catalog without problem. There are still trouble games though. I build a beastly new rig every 3 years though (just because I enjoy doing it and can). I can run Witcher 3 at full settings yet somehow OOT on N64 is still fucked for me. I have hope though for OOT, I'm trying it on mint soon with different video settings.

>>2904464
Like he says... settings can be a bitch. I don't have this issue with most of PS2 though. "Problem Games" exist in the strangest places though.

>>2904373
It's probably silly, but I feel like I've become more paranoid about being prosecuted as I get older, with all this talk about changing laws and what not. Sort of like how as you get older you feel less bulletproof regarding your health

>>2904461
GameCube emulation is really good, PS2 emulation is a piece of shit, Xbox emulation is nonexistent.

>>2904516
In this regard it may be silly. I've looked before and can't find a single instance of someone being prosecuted for downloading a retro game or bios. Many of these sites are hosted in the US and Japan. You don't need to torrent anything. When companies start targeting the sites then you should worry.
>>2904526
Xbox has been incorporating their games into their Windows OS in some fashion for years now. That's probably why.

>>2904526
GameCube emulation beyond the 50 most popular games is still extremely hit or miss. It's in the nature of high leve emulation.

I got Dolphin running on my i5 Surface Pro 4. Several games run at full speed (at 480p), but am I doing damage to my processor by putting it under too much stress?

You have a real bin+cue version of Rayman with all 51 bin files?

okay I'm almost at the limit of my frustration. I'm trying to emulate Clock Tower on epsxe with Pete's plug-ins. But no matter what i do in configuration, I can't get the prologue cut scene where Professor Barton puts Jennifer into hypnosis with the red swaying screen, literally the first few second of the game, to not lag up terribly. Is there something I'm missing, or perhaps an anon who was in the same boat that knows how i can fix this? Or should I just move to psX emulator?

Emulating on a system that doubles as it's own gaming platform is much more valuable than owning a pi2 that doubles up as a shitty slow as maker server.

I just discovered PS1 emulation on my phone but I can't play games that require me to button mash like fighting games since it's touchscreen.

What kind of PS1 games are good for a phone? All I can think of is Final Fantasy.

>>2906718
Pretty much just rpg's if you're using the touch screen. The moga pro is a very good controller for emulation on a phone. It even lets you clip the phone in and can charge the battery from the controller.

>>2885172
Is PS1 emulation perfect yet? What kind of computer do I need to run it perfectly? Are there any Everdrive equivalents or mods I can do to an existing system if this isn't possible?

Mednafen is just about perfect, though it is native res only.

It can run fine on a laptop core2duo.

>>2907673
Oh so the imperfect emulation is all for the extra features and higher res?

>>2907683
It's more that all the emulators that do higher res haven't had any serious improvements in nearly a decade.

A guy on /vg/'s emugen is working on an PS1 emu with HD hardware rendering that should be close to the level of accuracy of mednafen.

hey /vr/ first time poster, I emulated abit on my phone but im not to good at it, I was told recently that I could emulate on PSP, but every emulation program I tried putting on doesnt seem to work and says "corrupted file" when i try to load it, how do I emulate on the psp?

>>2908426
why is it bullshit

>>2908420
to put it simply: I can't into emulation, because its different to emulate a PSP then it is to emulate on a phone

>>2908427

How is it going to be as accurate as mednafen but also fuck with the internal resolution? Tell me. The answer is it _can't_: those are mutually exclusive, you are either emulating a PSX or you are not. It's not the same as just slapping a filter over it or some shit. Modifying the internal resolution is definitely something you do mid-emulation, not post-processing or after the fact.

Not to mention it's written in Rust, some Mozillian knock-off bullshit for the web that appears to be poorly aping Swift. I mean, damn, why not just write it in Java at that point?

>Supermodel will never get an update

I hate the fact that I love late-nineties/early-oughts arcade games because they really don't get any attention from emu devs.

>>2908446
I only ask because it's relevant, do you already own a psp? If so then go for it. If not then bite the bullet and just get something like an NVidia Shield. It'll hook up to your tv and be portable. The PSP can't even emulate snes properly. This is one of the videos I used years ago to set up emulation on my psp when I still used it. It's been bookmarked in my emulation folder for years.

>>2908686
Thank you.
Is there a /vr/ wiki or are you talking about that old /v/ wiki?

>>2908693
Neither really. I don't really recall the /v/ or /vr/ wiki. It's simply the best source. Believe it or not I've been emulating since before 4chan existed. I get as much joy out of making shit work as I do out of playing the games themselves. The No-Intro collections were a real game changer. The earliest one I used was the 2013 release. Any other sources for retro gaming catalogs always involved the oddity here and there. No-intro is the purest and absolutely cleanest source for roms out there. When you can't make a game work you know it's either your hardware or emulator with the no-intro collection. They don't upload bullshit.

>>2908581

I'm waiting for proof you're not full of shit. It's real easy to promise the moon if you never even intend to deliver so much as a ziploc bag of moondust.

>>2908693

I've pulled most of my pending pile from them. They're pretty good, but have some problems maintaining consistent quality between recommendation lists. Nothing some TLC wouldn't fix from a good volunteer, though.

>>2908452
No one ever said it was going to be as accurate as mednafen

Rust is a fucking compiled systems language, you retard. It's basically C+++

Why do you hate Rustation so much? It's easily the best thing to happen to PS1 emulation since mednafen. Simias isn't fucking around either.

And this is the first time I ever posted about it in this general btw. People bring it up because it's cool.

>>2908840

>Rust is a fucking compiled systems language, you retard. It's basically C+++

Not even close. That right there tells me you know fuck-all about programming, and I'm a goddamn lay-person myself.

>>2908840
WTF is C+++? No dog in this fight. Are you faggots inventing shit now?

>>2908845
No, you know fuck all about programming actually.

Layout engines aren't written in html, dumbass.

>>2908851

I was thinking pretty much along those same lines. "C+++...u wot m8?".

>>2908858

Who said anything about a layout engine you fuckin' knob-gobbler?

>>2908861
>some Mozillian knock-off bullshit for the web
Implies you think rust is shit because it's web shit. But the only web related thing it's used for is Mozilla's new layout engine.

I can't imagine why else you would compare Rust to Java unless you're just completely crazy.

>>2908859
>>2908851
It's saying it's (arguably) an improved version of C++ just like C++ is (arguably) an improved version of C, so add another plus. How the hell do you not get that? oh wait I'm on /vr/

>>2908870

>It's saying it's (arguably) an improved version of C++ just like C++ is (arguably) an improved version of C, so add another plus.

Please stop embarrassing yourself. C++ was never meant to be "a better C", it was simply meant to include Object-Oriented features as a core part of the language while smoothing out a few rough points of C. The "successor" to C++ would not be "C+++" because "+++" is not a valid operator, you fucking mong.

>Implies you think rust is shit because it's web shit. But the only web related thing it's used for is Mozilla's new layout engine.

No, I think Rust is shit because it's Web Programming Language #67,564,565 from an already notoriously flaky internet non-profit and its only major selling points are already done better by Swift. Writing anything but yet another high-level buggy emulator in it is laughable when for years before mednafen that's all we fucking had- HLE per-game-hack bullshit and plugin hell.

>>2908886
>literally named C++
>never meant to be "a better C"

>because "+++" is not a valid operator, you fucking mong.
This is literal autism.

>it's Web Programming Language
Rust is a systems language you retard. It's as far from "Web Programming Language" as you can fucking get. It's nothing like Swift either. Seriously, it's literally fucking C++ but with inherent safety and smoothing out a few rough points.

>high-level buggy emulator
Hardware rendering does not imply high level. Ruststation is pretty much mednafen except the GTE is done with GPU shaders. Of course it's not going to be as accurate as mednafen, but it's going to get pretty fucking close.

Considering the price of a PSP Vita now, $180, is it even worth it to get an android based handheld for emulation anymore?

4chan has been getting more and more blatant with janitors allowing marketing/shill threads to exist. The days when user made threads were everywhere and the bot advertising threads were few and easy to spot are gone.

These days every single board has sponsored threads that are kept open day after day.

These threads fucked up when they use the most marketing pictures for OP image, because if a real person or group of people kept all these threads up, they would throw some dank memes for the image. This accomplished trolling AND still lead to successful threads about something unrelated to the troll image.

>>2910737
Kek, keep believing a non-profit can be "shilled". You need to spend more time on /pol/ so you can accurately define the word. Shill is literally the new battle cry meme of whiny and stupid bitches. It's no ones fault but your own that you mistook a raspberry pi for a sex toy. It's the only thing that can explain your butthurt at this point.

People like this should be rounded up and publicly castrated to discourage any further propagation (socially or sexually) of such blatant mental defects. The only thing preventing me from thinking they are all the same ass-blasted troll is a staunch belief that this amount of faggotry simply could not exist in the same person all at once.

>shilling for Rust

Haha, holy shit. Even /g/ isn't autistic enough to fall for that meme.

>>2910876
I think Rust is pretty dumb, but it's not like it's terrible for writing an emu. It's not like it's Java or something.

Go is my meme language of choice.

>>2910906

It's not suited for writing anything that would be better than mednafen. And that's all that mattered in this scenario.

>>2910917
It's perfectly fine for writing something on the level of mednafen. Don't take /g/'s meme language wars so seriously.

Not that rustation is even trying to be better than mednafen.

uuuhhh

>>2911014

OK, elaborate on the unique qualities that make Rust better than C++, C, Swift, or even Python for writing a decent emulator.

>>2911035
I never said it was better than C++ or C; the difference between all three is small enough for it to not really matter. It's just a matter of preference for the developer.

Python is a interpreted language, you tard. If you would consider for even a second that it would be better than Rust at writing an emulator, then you really are nothing but a /g/ meemer that has no idea what they are talking about.

>>2911061

I believe Python has a non-interpreter mode now. And you didn't answer my question: why Rust?

>>2911065
because why not?

Has anyone tried this? What worked/what didn't...

If it won't work - try PCem-X. Also, don't Neverhood just works on Win10? Don't remember that I had to set up virtual machine.

Has anyone of you played Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Monogatari for Famicom and can help?
I'm stuck at a certain point in the game and can't continue, although I'm not sure if it's a problem with the ROM or not.

This might be something impossible to achieve but /vr/ seems the best place to ask for advice.

Basically, I'd love to start a project about dubbing one arcade game. The game I'm talking about is an old Sailor Senshi action game. But that's not the point.
I have said game on MAME and I was wondering if it was possible to:
>Unpack the game file
>Find the audio files of the spoken dialogues
>Replace them with the dubbed files
>Repack everything so the game can be played with the new dubbed voices

Honestly, it is mostly wishful thinking. I don't think modding an old arcade game like that is possible at all. But I'd be glad to be proven wrong.
So, wise men of this board, is this possible? And if it is, how can I do it?

>>2911206
Why not just use a virtual machine

>>2911456

>removing glorious SHABON SPRAY

G-good luck in your work anyway

>>2911479
Nah, we'd probably keep all attacks with their original names, fans love that. Everything else would be translated though.
Thank you. I hope to find a way.

>>2911456
Arcade romhack are a thing and might be way easier than you think depending on what hardware this uses, also you'd have to distribute your own custom MAME build because the devs have made it so you can't easily use ROMs that do not matches the ones MAME expects and I doubt they'd be willing to add a fantranslation to their romlist because "muh preservashun is srs bsns" but that's the easy part.

>>2911493
I guess the best thing I can do is looking for a decent romhacking guide with tips about sound files.
>also you'd have to distribute your own custom MAME build because the devs have made it so you can't easily use ROMs that do not matches the ones MAME expects
This seems not an easy task. The bright side is that I could distribute the ROM included in my custom MAME as an exe to all our fans (for free, of course).
Thank you for your answer, by the way.

The Neverhood works fine on W10 or any Windows AND ScummVM. And Wine too.

I don't get why you'd use DOSBox.

>>2911456
Most of the time it's something like
>open rom in hex editor
>look at it for a really long time until you understand the proprietary format they use for everything
>write a program that can encode and decode the audio format

It's not something that's easy.

>rpi isn't even good for emulation, why do you keep making it the OP pic?
It's not ideal, but good enough for lots of emulation. Also, cheap as hell, and lots of people got one, then couldn't figure out anything to do with it. So they have it on hand. For all your complaining, it's objectively more powerful than the hardware in most of the craptastic dedicated emulation handhelds.

Why do you care so much? Let people have their fun. Not everyone needs 100% accurate emulation for playing Ghouls And Goblins.

>>2911770
I'm hoping it'll be comfy for playing older PC games.

No generally it's pretty crappy. They still have to do a lot of optimizing on it. So definitely wait for the second generation with that one.

You've clearly never emulated any retro sidescroller using a 360 controller. The dpad is beyond shit. There are even guides where people dismantle the controllers and try and fix the dpad. The 360 controller is absolute useless shit because of the dpad. Every ps controller ever made is superior to it when your purpose is emulation.

>>2912532
I use one just because it's what I had lying around. You're right though. The dpad is garbage. I mainly only use the controller on ps1 and n64 because I don't need the dpad and use the sticks. Fore everything else and older systems I uses my $11 bufallo snes pad

2 questions about emulation on a Wii.

1. I'm currentnly using my Wii as an emulation system hooked up to a Toshiba 14" flat screen CRT with composite cables. I was wondering, if I were to use a 3rd party S-Video cable for the Wii, would the image improve?

2. Has anyone tried using pic related? Would love to use my actual controllers on Wii, but not sure if the emulators would respond to the controllers. Currently using a 3rd party Classic Pro Controller.

>>2912075
yes.
I can emulate some ps2 games full speed on my surface pro 3, so that should totally be fine.
