/emugen/ - Emulation General

Good morning fellow emulators

you can emulate the nes but can you emulate the feeling of having your sister kidnapped until you resign from nintendo

I'm not sure if it'll do anything, but could you guys help out?
Ask Elsemi to release the source of his model 2 emulator. It's the only one of its kind and is currently windows only and closed source.

Stop talking to yourself you fucking piece of shit. You need to be banned from 4chan.

My PCSX2 sound doesn't work. I've changed literally nothing that I can recall, it just doesn't work. It's been a few months since I last played. Yes, it doesn't work on multiple games. Any ideas?

>>122255176
Have you considered that perhaps it was an issue that happened on the console as well?

PS2 games weren't exactly famed for their consistent frame rates.

Is there a way to run pcsx2 at the lowest possible cpu usage. Obviously running it on native with all speed hacks to the max is great but can we go deeper. Can we run below native res

Sounds like him and anyone can have a change of heart.

>>122263973
No, it sounds more like someone, probably you, hates byuu, so the person made the account for the purpose of defaming him.

>>122264179
Cool then ask the byuu himself if it's him but it is most likely him.

>>122264347
Since you're so sure (or pretend to be) that it is one of byuu's account and continue to insist this without actual proof, I could assume that you're the one that made it and likely be right.

In any case, once again, most of the previous posts have little to nothing to do with video game emulation, so stop making them.

Pay-to-win picross, what a time to be alive

For PlayStation emulators, do you think it's better to have one memory card per game or let the user manage the memory cards manually?

Do you think splitting the individual save blocks in different files makes sense or would it just be a pointless gimmick?

>>122272567
One memory card per game means you don't have to worry about space and some games can really eat it. The only annoyance with this is when games read each others save data.
>Do you think splitting the individual save blocks in different files makes sense or would it just be a pointless gimmick?
It would be a pointless gimmick as there is no functional use for it.

>>122272567
>Do you think splitting the individual save blocks in different files makes sense or would it just be a pointless gimmick?
As in you just have a save for a game instead of a memory card and the emulator just make the game see that as a memory card?

Because yes that's a pretty fucking good idea.

As long as tools to easily swap .mcr into that or that format back into .mcr exist.

>>122273161

Yeah I agree it's the most pragmatic choice. It's just... dull you know. Also it requires special casing multi-disc games that need to use the same memorycard image, I guess this could be handled using the game serial number or something like that.

How many PSX games read other game's saves? I remember MGS of course but I don't think I ever played an other game that did that.

>>122273487

What use do you see for it? It seems shuffling saves around would be tedious and a bit pointless. The only point I can see is if one game's memory card becomes full you can delete some saves from your favorite file explorer instead of doing it from the BIOS/game interface.

In the "pointless but fun" feature list I also though about embedding the saves as metadata in an image file containing the save icon/text (like what you see in the BIOS memory card manager). But that's just breaking the compatibility with existing formats for no good reason.

>>122273850
If I wanna find a save with memcards I need to open it, but you're right that's technically fixed with individual per game memcards but that has some limitation so you would need a way to easily create and swap them on the fly while in game if you really want something that has as little flaw as possible.

> The only point I can see is if one game's memory card becomes full you can delete some saves from your favorite file explorer instead of doing it from the BIOS/game interface.
So you're talking about memcard folders, I was thinking more about something that's totally separate from that and just store saves individually kinda like savestates.

Question about PS1 ReDUMPs

when I downloaded some of these, they had multiple bin files...

Like in the 7z, it would be something like:

"megaman legends.cue"
"megaman legends (cd1).bin"
"megaman legends (cd2).bin"


...I tried burning the images to a disc, and the ps1 wouldnt read it :?

Also: some emulators wont read these ... Personally I edit the cue to list just the main binary file (read: biggest Bin file lol), but that's obviouslty not the right way... is there a proper method or something?

What exactly is the point of the second bin with most of these? Can anyone give a small explanation of what they do.

>>122274718
>So you're talking about memcard folders, I was thinking more about something that's totally separate from that and just store saves individually kinda like savestates.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Isn't a memcard folder about storing saves individually?

>>122276545

You can play those games on your console if it's modchipped, otherwise it'll refuse to boot non-authentic PSX CDs. I think you need verbatim whatever CD-Rs too otherwise the drive might have trouble reading the burned disc since the signal intensity is much weaker on burned CDs.

Mega Man Legends has two *tracks*, not CDs. If that's what your dump says it wasn't correctly labeled:

214 Apr 26 2015 Mega Man Legends (USA).cue
465M Apr 26 2015 Mega Man Legends (USA) (Track 1).bin
36M Apr 26 2015 Mega Man Legends (USA) (Track 2).bin

Typically PSX games use the first track to store the code and assets while the other tracks contain the music (although different layouts are possible).

If you only burn the first track at best your game won't have any music and at worse it won't work at all. You have to burn all the tracks. The cue sheet will tell the burning software how to layoutu the tracks on the disc.

So basically you need a modchipped console, CD-Rs that can be read by the console firmware and CD burning software capable of handling cue sheets. For a few PAL games you'll also need the subchannel data for the libcrypt protection but burning it might be tricky since it involves corrupt subchannel data.

>>122277795
>I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Isn't a memcard folder about storing saves individually?
A memcard folder would just be an unpacked .mcr, what I'm thinking about would just store every save in the same place and when you load a game the emulator recognize what saves correspond to that game and make it so that the game can recognize those save like if they were in a memory card.

Has anyone tried dolphin or pcsx2 on the Microsoft surface pro 4. The i5 4gb ram or 8gb ram version? And how did they run if so?

>>122278404

Mmh, I think I understand. You think that would be better than a single mcr per game?

WHY ARE N64 EMULATORS SO HORRIBLE

IT HAS BEEN NEARLY TWENTY YEARS SINCE THE RELEASE OF THE N64 AND WE STILL DON'T HAVE A GOOD EMULATOR

>>122282093

What are you waiting to start writing your own senpai?

>>122281616
Not many but it could make it easier to change what is currently in the memcard when the game accesses it which might help circumvent slot limitation in some games or help with games using other games save.

>>122283357

Changing the image dynamically as the game is running sounds like a very bad idea to me.

>>122282093
>WHY ARE N64 EMULATORS SO HORRIBLE

http://tasvideos.org/BizHawk.html

>>122283479
As long as you don't change anything when the game is accessing the memory card nothing should break.

>>122283718

That's assuming the game doesn't keep some data about the memory card in RAM. Maybe things like current save file for instance?

It might work but it sounds risky.

>>122272567
Manual since there are situations where you CANNOT get a game to precisely emulate console behavior with "one memory card per game."

>>122285485

Can you give me an exemple of such a game? Are you talking about things like the psycho mantis fight in MGS?

>>122255131

Thanks, worked.

Now the question is, what broke in the first place?

>>122283893
I mean what I proposed is probably a lot of work with a lot of problems for very little convenience, a choice between per game memcard, shared memcard and an integrated memcard editor is probably way easier and about as convenient most of the time.

T/F?: Modern consoles are just too complex for hobbyists to effectively make emulators for. Even PS2 emulation is buggy shit so that should've told you what is to come. You should buy every PS360 game you plan on playing--unless you have CFW

>>122286864
for some reason there's a little piece of foam inside the controller that handles inputs by touching a contact. after using it a lot, sometimes a little, the foam will compress and the controller will start registering random shit.

the easiest solution is to open the controller up and plump up the piece of foam with tape or something so it can reach the contact.

Because rewind was a thing before RA.

>>122298663
I think he means Braid-style or something like that. Don't know, though, never used the feature myself.

>>122298663

Rewind that works in real time by caching savestates into a buffer in RAM each frame, with the audio samples played in reverse and resampled.

>>122293845
>>122296749
Thanks anon. I guess >>122286992 is right. Lol @ emulators that use C#. Bizhawk kept crashing, last time I tried it.

Maybe I'll finally start using RA then, for certain things.

>>122277795
>>122276545
You might not have noticed any problems with MML, because all of the MML games have a second audio track that's actually just junk data and is never actually used by the game.

They are the only games that I know of that do this though.

>>122299115

I really want to try something like that with the PSX but the size of the savestate makes it prohibitive for long replays. The video framebuffer is the main issue, with older 2D consoles that used tiles and sprites it's less of an issue.

>>122300000

Interesting, I wonder where this track comes from. It looks like some padding of sorts, the sum of both tracks is just above 500MB. The 2nd track is full 0s in my dump.

>>122298478
The author shamelessly announced he's taking donations when his emulator can barely run anything because he knows that as long as he teases idiots with progress they will keep throwing money at him just to see more. The genius of this idea is that once you get the first commercial game running you can improve compatibility by putting in relatively little effort and at the same time make it seem like you're making some amazing breakthroughs one after another because your audience doesn't know any technical stuff and your software is closed source so they can't see it only took you several lines of code.

Yeah, it's perfect.

>>122298491
Stillborn at the moment. SP has his focus on churning out a stable, usable iOS release at the moment. Work on the various cores probably won't resume until he's done with that.

>>122302092
By the time he's finished all other platforms will be in need of an update again and by the time that's done iOS will be broken again.

It's kind of what happens when you're the lone maintainer of a bunch of platform releases. At least the 3DS has aliaspider, and the Wii has ToadKing (sort of, he's been dormant lately, and I don't know how the Wii version is faring these days). Meancoot was the guy in charge of OSX and iOS at one point, until he just up and disappeared one day.

SP is like a flight of fancy dev. He starts things, doesn't finish them, neglects things, lets things break for months or years, does totally incomprehensible jumps from one segment of his project to the next day to day, and it is nearly impossible to predict what he will do. The project just has no coherent vision or structure.

>>122304262
SP doesn't have the equipment to debug the Wii port effectively(USB gecko) especially for something that doesn't boot anymore. Toadking does but he's been busy with other things.

Does the new wii u emulator take advantage of quad core. I know dolphin doesnt and it can hurt you more often then help and I heard the wii u uses the same architecture.

Android is a shithole of audio latency, don't bother emulating on it

http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/11/13/android-audio-latency-in-depth-its-getting-better-especially-with-the-nexus-5x-and-6p/

>>122309729
Nice to hear that the latency problem is steadily being resolved, but the issue is many people are still using older Android devices, which may or may not have the necessary hardware or software updates. I'd wager some popular Android handhelds or consoles will probably never see such performance gains.

>>122309729

He's going to ditch the project once it ceases being profitable. He's just a sellout who doesn't care about the console being emulated properly, just like gonetz.

It'll probably use as many threads as a game creates, +1 for GPU emulation. And as the Wii U is tri-core, games will probably use up to 3 main threads.

When do you think it will be possible?

>>122353445
No.

>>122353445
Nothing in existence now will be able to emulate PS3 and besides there's a good chance PS3 emulation will just never go anywhere

I got this sudden urge to play SSX Tricky, does it run well?

>>122358865
At least Xbox 360 emulation has a bright future. Xenia which is still is an early work in process can run a few games at full speed on weak mobile processors. But I think SP said that the 360 CPU is actually not much more powerful than the Wii's CPU.

PS3 emulation will probably be lucky to end up as good as Saturn emulation. Maybe in 30 years ARM might become faster than x86 and PS3 emulation will be more possible?

Hey guys, I'm curious if any of you can provide a full set of roms for pcem? Vetusware has a nice set, but it's fairly out of date at this stage. Thanks!

Hello, could some of you good people check out my emulation-related post on /ffg/? Thanks in advance.

>>122366054

/emugen/ can you help me configure Final Fantasy Tactics in ePSXe? I had everything working out great, then I hit the "Nice" preset in the video config, and now I have a black world map and menus that are all jumbled together.

I'm using Pete's Open GL Driver 2.9 and ePSXe. 1.9.25. Like I said everything was working great before I hit the preset. I've been fiddling with the settings but have been unable to find the ones that worked original. I don't suppose anyone is currently playing FFT and has a working set of options for the video config?

>>122366546

It literally isn't though, blurring *is* a fllter. Linear filter, gaussian filter...

I think you have a wrong idea about what filters and shaders can do, maybe you think of those terrible hqx filters or ugly obvious scanlines. In reality filters can be rather subtle and make the image easier on the eyes.

I don't have an example at hand but I'm sure other people in this general will be able to give you examples, that's pretty much all we do here.

>>122367779
Yeah, you're mostly right. I'm not very clear on what classifies as a filter and what doesn't.

>>122366616

Use RA with mednafen core then. For 2D PSX games there's no reason to use anything else, it's not like you're going to increase the internal res.

Here's a super easy way to buff Quina up. Go to Oeilvert, go inside the temple, and in the first screen walk around and try to encounter the statue enemies that clone your characters. Wait until it clones a character, then kill the clone. Do this three times, since that's the max amount of times it will clone characters, and then kill the statue enemy itself. You'll get about 7000+ experience points. If you can get Virus status cast on Zidane somehow, Quina will get even more all to itself. Only enemy I can think of off the top of my head that can cast Virus is the Yan enemies on Vile Island, off the coast of the Outer Continent, and they might outright slaughter you before that happens. Might not be worth it.

Good luck, anon!

Try equipping your initial weapons if you still have them, or whatever your weakest weapon is. That ought to reduce damage output.

Once you get to Disc 4, a lot of locations will be closed off permanently, and some items will become impossible to get. Many of them are admittedly not that important, but off the top of my head, I know for a fact that Vivi's Octagon Rod (which teaches him Firaga, Thundaga, and Blizzaga) cannot be acquired in Disc 4. This is a VERY important item, and there may be others like it, so go through that list and double check if you have them or not.

Zidane + Steiner + Vivi + Garnet

I've been using this party for the entirety of the game. Should I keep it or should I train eiko, freya and amarant more before reaching disc 4?

>>122398289
> having non mainstream passions makes you a degenerate now

Only a degenerate would think this

>>122399392
The game is easy enough that you can have literally any party and steamroll once you have good gear, spells, and abilities.

That said, if you ask me, Eiko is much better than Garnet, and Vivi isn't as useful as a properly built-up Quina or Freya. Once you get the best stuff for each character and abilities like Auto-Regen, you can even go balls to the wall and forgo all magic, healing, buffs, etc, and go for a pure DPS party made up of Zidane, Steiner, Freya and Amarant, and never break a sweat.

I will say this: if you plan on taking on the game's super boss, you WILL want Zidane (mandatory), Eiko, Quina, and either Steiner or Freya as your party. You're definitely gonna want to build Quina up some more, and get a few more key abilities like Angel's Snack.

Hmmm...

>>122400606
Also keep in mind I'm talking strictly Disc 4 end game here. Your party is fine at the moment, though I would have switched Garnet to Eiko starting from the moment she goes mute, given she becomes unreliable to use at that point in the game, and kept her on the team from that point on. Vivi is still fine to use, but again, his end game is not as good as some of the other characters. His end game basically consists of abusing elemental weaknesses with -aga spells and Flare, optimally alongside equipping Reflectx2 and casting spells off Reflected allies. Meteor is unreliable (sometimes does massive damage, sometimes subpar damage, sometimes fails entirely), and his "ultimate" spell damages everyone unless properly equipped, and is as long as a summon, so it's meh. I'd much rather kill 99 dragons and have Freya's Dragon's Crest hit for 9999 every time.

>>122402884
Well, your mileage may very well vary. Most 2D/3D games on the PS1 have static 2D backdrops with 3D characters on top of them, and IMO it looks disgusting when you have super hi-res, low-poly characters walking on top of low-res pixelated backgrounds, which completely breaks the immersion.

FFT, however, has 2D character sprites on top of 3D backdrops, and it actually doesn't look THAT bad when said backdrops are hi-res, even if the sprites remain low-res. I think I'd still prefer everything be the same res in the end, though.

Hi guys, im new to this thing but I only wish to emulate a single game because of its rarity.
I really want to play Rule of Rose so obviously I had to emulate it. I haven't fiddled with any settings of course because I have no clue what im doing.

Basically I get to this screen before it fades to black and does not go any further, isnt there some little setting I should tweak somewhere?
Im fairly confident ive done everything right up to this point, I just dont know what stuff I need to tweak.

>>122405780
Works fine on my end, using the latest Mednafen core from the updater. Your rip is probably shit.

>>122407740
This is happening in multiple games though.
And the games load. They crash AFTER the psx logo

>>122408001
Are your BIOS files from the RetroArch BIOS pack from the wiki?

It's interesting that it crashes right after trying to save to the memory cards, though. Wonder if that has something to do with it. Maybe check that the folder where the memory cards are has proper read/write permissions.

>implying angry shits like you deserve any help

>>122416740
Settings are fine. The problem is many of those settings are there for compatibility and performance reasons, many of which are now redundant and some of them can cause problems on some games unless set to something specific. Some of the "enhancement" settings can also cause problems, like some of the texture filtering settings can cause black or colored outlines to appear on text and backgrounds, and many people are none the wiser as to what could be causing it unless they sit there and tweak shit until they figure it out, make a thread on NGemu or ask here, etc.

>all those things are pretty much automatic, and the "best" settings are irrelevant, and need only be tweaked
Nothing ought to need to be tweaked. And no, settings are not automatic. Only thing that's automatic are the "Fast" and "Nice" presets in Pete's plugins, which often don't deliver the best results.

>which game-breaking glitch are you referring to?
Was referring more to glitches due to incorrect plugin configuration. Things like missing or incomplete effects. Truth be told, I am not aware of what actual compatibility issues ePSXe has at the moment.

Whatever is mapped to the A and B buttons, it's controller based.

Is there some sort of configuration that must be done in RetroArch before it will work? I've downloaded the PSX Mednafen core, put the right BIOS files in the right spot and am loading .cue files but RetroArch crashes the moment I load it.

When I tried with just Mednafen and a frontend it worked fine.
