Hello, /emugen/

Are the nightly builds of PCSX2 significantly better than the latest stable release?

>>121421291
How do I emulate smoke black controllers?

>>121422132
>What do you mean by transcode? I'm relatively new at emulating.
You record to one format and then edit/convert that to the webm you want using other video tools.

>>121422443
...so did you link to the wrong post?

Is there something I'm missing when it comes to emulating pic related?

There was that PCSX2 update back in June or so that "fixed" it, and while it's true that I can at least run it past the developer logos now there is still a hell of a lot to be desired. I can either do hardware mode and get 4fps but with only half of the screen rendering, or software mode with 3fps. Is there an option I'm missing or some trick I could try to pull, or am I doomed to not play until I commandeer NASA's computers?

You must tell me about Sega Saturn emulation, emugen.

>>121424519

>>121421064
So, rpcs3 is running (at least in a small room with few objects to render) in-game disgaea 4 at 60fps

This is awesome.

>>121424340
GCN ver works if you can stand the VPS being at 60 while the real fps are at like 12. I guess GCN don't play dem games too good.

does emulation work yet

Hey I am trying to get a .3dz rom to work on my R4i flashcart, is this possible? and if so how will it work?

It's just a question on how to get 3DS roms on my 3DS working. I was just wondering what file type it should be, .3ds or .3dz

instead of emulation why don't they just 3d print original hardware

>>121434242
i think that the day we can 3d print microprocessors, we'll be emulating human thought.

I'm gonna assume he is.

I bet he isn't even using an Nvidia GPU lol

PS3 emulation is stagnating. Maybe it was always a pipe dream. The latest vids are just "look we can play a streamed video from a game!". No complex 3D games at all.

I really want to play Demon's Souls past 720p. Or at least have some scaling options rather than what it currently does. Right now it sets my display to 720p, with that god awful bilinear upscaling.

since 4K CRT shaders still don't look accurate, is it possible we need 6K or 8K for them?

As such, are CRT shaders a pipe dream that by the time we get displays that can pull them off right, no one will care about playing such old games?

>>121451097

I don't think so.

>>121451097
yea but compatibility sucks for some of them.

Some run from native vita/rejuvenate hack, and some are ran through the eCFW

>>/hbg/

There's also an RA port for the vita, though I don't know how well it runs.

>>121460981
>tfw I'm poorly emulated

RA 1.2.2 Wii is unbelievably broken. Gamecube controller button input is randomized upon core switch, Gamecube controller buttons aren't manually remappable, display resolution always stretches to 16:9 when restarted, turbo buttons are always enabled on start and needs to be disabled manually in the settings.

I can usually deal with the bugs or wait them out but right now it's pretty much unusable which sucks when the little I've been able to play of the new mgba core has been nothing short of amazing.

>>121449343
I'm impressed they even managed to get Disgaia actually working to some extent. All the sprites were showing up now.

They'll get the rest eventually. It might take a while since Sony is completely retarded.

>>121471218
>unironically emulating on Wii

You got what you deserved.

>>121471218
Don't worry too much, RA is broken on like 8 out of the 10 platforms it runs on. Only Linux and Mac work.

>baseless FUD

>>121475758
Not really FUD. I just like talking about how bad everything is. It's my hobby. N64 emulation hasn't progressed in years except for paying gonetz to make a bunch of hacks, mednafen will never have HD, PS2 emulation is buggy as hell, Dolphin takes a supercomputer to run, RA is broken on most platforms, etc.

>>121471218
Use a nightly version to see if it's better.

>>121475929
PSX HD is pointless until someone corrects the math behind the 3D.
Rumors were abound of a plugin, of course closed source, that did just that but that version never saw light of day as far as I know. It was also a software renderer and probably slow as shit.

The only reason you care about it is because it is a hard game to emulate. Gameplay wise, as many people care about it as Speedy Gonzalez on the SNES, niche of a niche of a niche.

>3ghz Haswells are now toasters

The wiki mentions a 'Gameboy Colors' option in VBA-M that desaturates colors, but I can't find this anywhere in the options, did they remove it from the emulator for some reason? Should I look for an old version if I want to use it?

They do look accurate, you just need to play with the settings, preferably with an actual CRT beside you.
I simply based mine off the family's tube tv, used CRT-Royale 256 Composite at 1440p.

I just downloaded the N64 no intro rom pack off of emuparadise's forums and a great deal of the roms are european roms

are all pal issues and fuckeries just a problem with the consoles and it doesn't matter what region the roms are from when emulating, or should I look elsewhere and find US roms?

this is normal behavior for ssf it seems.
make sure that your drive has not changed letters, or more importantly, that you have not added any drives (specifically dt drives)

Why is angrylion the only plugin capable of outputting 640x480i? Wouldn't a hacky way of doing this be to output at 640x240p and then stretching the screen vertically?

Because that's how dithering works. Even on a real CRT, for instance, if you use any input that's higher quality than RF/Composite for Sonic, you instantly lose the transparent water.

Shouldn't this work? I thought so libs on Linux had versioning support so I could update libs but dependent applications would still work

Ideally Windows, Dreamcast or PC. But there's no cores for those.

They are done by an automated buildbot, it's zero effort since everything's set up already.

Now take a look at the PPSSPP core which cannot be build by the buildbot, it's stuck at early June since nobody from their team cares enough about Windows.

>>121646112
>Doesn't benefit anybody other than Retroshit

Everyone benefits from open source code, since you can easily look up how they did things to improve your own emulator, or make changes to it to suit your own uses. Emulation is a group effort, no one makes an emulator 100% on their own, and hoarding your code for protectionist reasons is simply being selfish.

And nice job accusing RA of stealing code again for the umpteenth time, why don't you go after all the other people that reuse code like Mednafen or Bizhawk as well? Oh wait, you just don't like SP so different standards apply.

>>121645676
I'm using the bios pack from the wiki, and I'd be fine if mednafen didn't run at full speed, if I could get anything to run at all.

I'm pretty sure I've got the directories set correctly, as I'm pointing to where my bios is, I've even tried putting the bios in the same folder as the games as when you first go into the directory menu is says <content dir> by default for the option there.

These are not dependent on being closed source and payware. This is just a matter of motivation and knowledge. Requiring money for motivation kind of signals that you might be into emulation programming for the wrong reasons. There are lots of other, more ethical ways to make money off of programming.

Why do you think open source is a ticket to free labour? For the most part open source doesn't really come into play until after the project has slowed down.

It's the other way around friendo.

>>121649419
>>Open-source didn't do shit for projects like mGBA and Play! because nobody actually contributes.

Your logic has so many holes in it that it's not even funny. Saying that open source is useless is stupid because those two emulators don't get much outside interest because they are emulating something that someone else has already emulated well enough for a long time. They're already catering to a niche since there's already an established emulator for those systems.

>>Hell, even the libretro people don't give anything back and refuse to work with upstream projects like Gambatte and PPSSPP.

You know, you don't have to have a shallow fork and do regular pull requests to "give anything back". The fact libretro puts everything out there on an open repo should be good enough since anyone interested can just pick out the changes they want. Most of the time, these other projects didn't want libretro in the first place and didn't want to work with them so a separate repo was necessary.

> because he fails to push it in the right direction

What is the 'right direction' to be pushing it in then?

> 2Pac wannabe attitude pisses off potential contributors

That usually only happens when a 'potential contributor' is also giving an attitude to him. Most of the time he's not hostile on his own channel and repos.

I'm not on that open-source-everything bandwagon, but you have to admit its potential benefits. If nobody open sourced anything in emulation, we wouldn't be where we're at today. RA is not the only group of people who would benefit from open source, although they do tend to rely heavily on the work of others.

I do think that open source is pointless when nobody actually contributes, hence why I do not open source everything.

Honestly, this is not a right description of SP. There is no '2Pac wannabe attitude', you are latching onto one or two posts maybe and acting like that is how he is in general. It would be like saying Jack Nicholson acts like The Joker when he is out in public.

>Saying that open source is useless is stupid because those two emulators don't get much outside interest because they are emulating something that someone else has already emulated well enough for a long time

The only emulators who really receive contributions from the outside world are PPSSPP and Dolphin.
There's still no good open-source emulator for the Sega Saturn for example and yet nobody bothers with improving Yabause.

>>121645449
/emugen/ is kind of hyper focused on libretro and RetroArch over anything else, partly because Squarepusher was known to come here and post, unlike most other devs who ignore emugen, and because most of the early adopters for RetroArch were on /emugen/ and some of the major contributors came from /emugen/ as well.

/emugen/ tends to not pay much attention to drama in other emulation circles such as MAME unless it involves RetroArch in some way, even though there's often drama in those places regardless.

>>121652539

Even projects that do have full libretro integration have a "shallow fork" like mGBA. Just stick with upstream.

SP offered patches that got it working on PS3 and MacOSX PowerPC. What did endrift do? Throw it right back in his face.

Then they went separate ways.

Honestly, the only thing stopping any collaboration is the 'autism' emanating from most of you 'emudevs'. Fix the autism and things can get along fairly fine. Start collaborating with people, don't think of them as 'lower' than you, and don't just believe whatever byuu tells you about a certain guy and then find it weird that when you come in with all sorts of assumptions about how a guy is when that person has done nothing wrong to you to warrant that kind of suspicion in the first place, that things might not get off to a flying start.

>>121654410
>SP is doing just that in the absence of anybody else doing it, so you can't blame him for taking the direction he feels is necessary.

Oh, he can do whatever he want. I still consider it the wrong way and I know I'm not the only one who feels that way.

He's already got way too much stuff to take care off as it is, if he wants to push himself further he'll sooner or later pull a Rachel and take RetroArch with him.

>>121653339
>>Do one thing and do it right, don't try RA into some multimedia bullshittery that will never go anywhere.

It does one thing and does it right: it runs libretro cores.

What a libretro core is or does is irrelevant, as long as it implements the API correctly. That's why libretro is considered to be an "agnostic API". I agree with him that there should be more non-emulator libretro cores, like source-ports and indie games.. Other more unorthodox cores like media players can work if they fit within the scope of a libretro core and benefit from the features that RA provides, but going too far outside of the general usecase of libretro isn't going to benefit things much, so I believe libretro cores should stay within the interactive multimedia scope..

When you lived for a dream

Yea. That's exactly what I meant.

>>121655096
There are at least 3 bugs in this picture, maybe more. How did N64 emulation go so wrong?

>>121655608
No, I mean, you should kill yourself for making that incident into a joke.

There needs to be a another serious libretro frontend that's separate from RetroArch. People still seem to think libretro support means getting sucked into RA.
I know there are others but they are either super niche of don't work well enough to be viable. Sorry

>He's already got way too much stuff to take care off as it is

One day I'm going to learn how to write good code and actually do something meaningful like make a libretro core or implement Windows specific stuff in RA like finishing up that menu bar. But that will be a while and I'm slow to actually sit down and learn things instead of just playing video games or pissing away time on 4chan...

They should've aimed to be cycle-accurate from the beginning.

>>121656056
even if performance was around the teens or less?

But rather than that if someone was going to do that he should work on RA instead to make RA better.

>>121655982
And pull a Rachel?

No thanks man.

>>121655982
>No, I mean, you should kill yourself for making that incident into a joke.

But wouldn't that lead to yet another incident? Seems like a hellish cycle to me.

>>121656043

O Alcaro, Where Art Thou?
We need your minir!

>>121656046

Take your time, it's not like RAs going anywhere any time soon.

>>121656193

Processors get better over time though.

>>121656056
No one gives a shit about anything that's under fullspeed and why would they?

>>121656252
I know but as a showcase for the API. Idiots still don't get it.

He certainly isn't doing it right when it comes to mupen64plus-libretro.

That stereotype needs to go. Not every emudev has autism.

>The only emulators who really receive contributions from the outside world are PPSSPP and Dolphin.
You're forgetting about Project64 and CEN64.

Why? Retroarch has a bunch of features like AV sync, netplay, achievements and cheats. Your contributions to the project also positively influence the Retroarch project on over 20 platforms.

You can skin it to look like whatever you want or even write a simple launcher since you can simply feed it arguments through the command line interface.

What team libretro need to do is to document the code base so that programmers who have more or less skill can still contribute.

>>121646174
what's a moochie?

>>121646268
it seems to the epicenter of huge portion of the stupidity I see in emugen, so of course I'd single it out.

shit, things seemed a lot less obnoxious in emulation ten, fifteen years ago.

>>121653435
I remember some logs with that guy posted in here a while back... guy came off like one hell of a piece of shit. like. the kind of guy most threads would chase away.

>>121656193

Pretty sure CEN64 already gets more than 10 VI/s

That's just people not getting the fact that libretro is not tightly coupled with RetroArch. The cores are entirely separate entities from RetroArch and are not a true part of its code. The only time when a core is statically linked into RetroArch is on consoles where dynamic linking is not possible.

People have just been conditioned to think of any kind of "multi-system emulator" as being this big monolithic blob of emulators like Mednafen or OpenEmu, but that's not the case with RetroArch. The libretro core builds they provide can be used by anything that implements libretro in some way, like Phoenix or even Anarchy Arcade There just aren't that many alternative frontends yet because this idea is still fairly new since it's only been around a just a few years, but as time goes on, more of them will appear.

He's doing some things much much better than the standalone version.

>>121657345
It's in effect coupled with Retroarch because no one will bother to use it anything but Retroarch.

>>121657705
Kodi wrote their own libretro frontend.

>>121657705
>It's in effect coupled with Retroarch
No.

>>121657705

RetroArch being the most complete libretro frontend doesn't make anything tightly coupled to it. As other libretro frontends mature, people may start using them more instead.

>>121657642
>He's doing some things much much better than the standalone version.
That is sad. I wish some devs came to their senses and collaborated with others, instead of isolating themselves.

>>121653498
Anyone able to help me with this? I'm not sure how I can do it. I can't find anything about a DS version anywhere.

>>121657927
Will I use Kodi? No.

Can you not Google "tomodachi DS rom"?

http://www.emuparadise.me/Nintendo_DS_ROMs/Tomodachi_Collection_(v01)_(J)/51368

Then you'll realize that the game never hit retail outside of Japan but received a quality fan translation a couple of years after release.

Knock yourself out.

>>121657345
what really limits RA is that they don't want (or can't) use any known GUI toolkits for a menu driver, so no matter what they do it will feel a bit home grown.

>>121659727
It doesn't really limit RetroArch by not having some generic gui toolkit interface. The only thing stopping it is that no one wants to make such a thing.

Something is wrong with your display. that's not how a real crt looks. I went ahead and fixed it.
