/emugen/ - Emulation General

Why is VBA-M still recommended?

>>125648926
What should be instead?

>>125650024
mGBA of course.

>>125648926
Because you haven't updated the page yet.

Is there anything VBA-M does better than mGBA?

I tried to start the PSX Mednafen Libretro core and I got this error, wat do?

>>125651235
You need a 5501 BIOS. I think SP doesn't fix that just to keep pissing people on emugen off due to people continually asking about it.

>>125650802
Read the changes. Someone changed it then someone changed it back.

How to tell when stuttering/framerate drops in Dolphin are caused by shader generation and when it's because my system legitimately can't handle these settings at full speed?

Getting rare stutters in Xenoblade at 3x Native with 2x MSAA and 4x anisotropic, not sure if it's the shader thing mentioned in the wiki or what. Seems like the framerate drops 1-2 FPS when I move the camera around sometimes as well.

>>125652154
Why did this shader generation thing become a meme? You NEVER heard about this before this year.

>>125652154
What shaders are you running?
>4x anisotropic
Why. It's basically a free filter. Go 16x.

So I posted on /v/ hoping that maybe I could get a thread going and also maybe someone would know about growlanser generations emulation but I had no such luck.

Does anyone here have any experience emulating this game because there are freezing problems right at the start when trying to save and after some googling there are freezing problems in other places as well.

When I try to confirm my controls in Q*Bert for PS1, the player 2 control config pops up afterwards, as if I had a second controller plugged it, but I only want one controller active. I'm using a DS4 & DS4Windows btw.

"shaders"

>>125652131
That's why I gave up helping out with the wiki. Even in a small place like this we've got the edit warriors jumping in and reverting your changes immediately if their deprecated baby emulator comes under fire

>>125652685
I just saw it in the wiki:

>Xenoblade Chronicles is one of the most susceptible titles to shader compilation stuttering. The GC and Wii have no concept of shaders - everything is executed directly by the hardware without an intermediate programming language (API). Modern computers and mobile systems do not work in this way, requiring the use of shaders as an intermediary so your system's GPU can perform the tasks that the GC and Wii GPU performed directly. Shaders have to be generated though, and since GC/Wii games are not designed to create shaders ahead of time as a PC game would, when a new effect appears Dolphin has to delay the CPU thread while the GPU thread performs the compilation; a pause that does not exist on the consoles. For most games shader generation takes only a few milliseconds, but for a few demanding titles, the shaders that they generate are so large that they can result in noticeable stuttering, in severe cases pauses of over a second may occur.

>Eventually stuttering will reduce as a shader cache is built up, but there is no solution to this problem at this time. Changing your GPU, updating your GPU drivers or updating Dolphin may invalidate the shader cache, requiring it to be rebuilt from scratch.

Also can confirm that right after I fuck with settings (even if going from more intensive to less intensive ones, such as removing AA) performance suffers for a little while.
>>125653252
I've always been in a habit of setting anisotropic to double my AA, for years now. Just been the way I've done it, I dunno why.

Can you point me to good shader that scales well for a 1080p monitor? I haven't played around with them much besides the handheld filter.

Does anyone know what the NTSC pixel aspect ratio that Genesis Plus GX uses when scaling most Genesis games is?

>>125652154
>Seems like the framerate drops 1-2 FPS when I move the camera around sometimes as well.
Shader generation only happens once per shader. This wouldn't cause shader generation unless you were looking at a new effect, or area that used different post processing.
>>125654051
>Also can confirm that right after I fuck with settings (even if going from more intensive to less intensive ones, such as removing AA) performance suffers for a little while.
That's not how shader generation works, dolphin settings don't matter (aside from switching between OGL/D3D backends), just your GPU/GPU drivers.

Is this general more active during normal hours? I might repost for some help then but im really kinda at a loss for what to do. I want to emulate this game but I cant even save.

>>125655032
It's a niche game, so you might not have much luck. Try different PCSX2 builds - dev builds if you're using stable, stable if you're using a dev build - try software mode (hit F9 in-game), or just stick with using savestates if you can.

>>125655032
Not much faster, you're better off trying different settings on your own, because it's unlikely you will find someone else who's played that, especially recently.
Is that an Urushihara game anyway? I can't imagine his characters would reflect well with PS2 graphics. Does it have nudity?

Yeah it is an urushihara game, theres no nudity that I know of in it but ive only played wayfarer or time and there were some kinda lewd girls and girls in armor but nothing nude. but this catgirl was bordering it..

Also I know everyone here has their own stuff to do but id be very grateful if someone would try and help me out with this niche game.

As it should be. Cant wait for this to be finished.

Mudlord needs to educate some bitches on how shitty that emulator is.

>>125665657
It's funny because no one can ever explain why that is.

>>125666876
Even if it was good, its not as good as mGBA.

>>125666876
It's slower (not by much and VBA-next is faster than mGBA but VBA-next is a piece of shit that you shouldn't ever use given a choice since everything VBA-M does it does worse except speed)

Less accurate (and not just in a muh accuhurtz sense it simply doesn't play some game that mGBA handles fine)

Horrible A/V sync (as in you need VBA-M in RA with hard GPU sync to even have something similar to mGBA in term of delay)

Not actively developed anymore with an old as fuck codebase (whatever improvement you might want on VBA-M ain't coming and doing it yourself is most certainly gonna be a pain in the ass)

Those are the big ones, the two things mGBA is worse at are that it supposedly sounds worse and it doesn't do desaturated color without RA (I haven't checked either of those in a while though so it might not be true anymore), it also runs worse on BSD than VBA-M apparently.

Which ones? NES classics don't count.

>>125667560
Reasonable enough. I'm still using VBA-M because so far I haven't encountered any problems with it. As long as it works fine why do I care. I don't use RA though.

>>125668076
>Things don't count because they prove me wrong
Nope fuck off

>>125668175
If you ever plan on playing a long game like an RPG or Fire Emblem don't use VBA-M, it has a bad tendency of wiping saves on it's own.

>>125668279
>NES classics = "some games"

That's just misleading and you know it.

How many hours is a game to be classified as "long" game?

The more you will have to use the save function the more chance you have for the save to fuck up, so in that case long just means game you won't finish in one sitting.

Indeed. librustation_libretro was a bit too verbose for my taste.

>>125671968
Why do you even have lib on the front? Should just be rustation_libretro to match the naming scheme that everything else uses.

That's pretty cool though? Does it actually run at all yet?

>>125672160

No I'm just starting to play with the libretro API. Seems relatively straightforward so far.

>>125673146
Well to be fair even just taking a screencap is a painfully retarded process on OSX.

>>125668965
Yeah, when I used VBA-M, I didn't use the in-game save function at all. I just made a savestate whenever I was done playing for the day so I didn't have to worry about it randomly losing my Final Fantasy saves

Well, according to Simias, he only really heavily relies on Mednafen for the GTE code, but much of the rest comes from the documentation that is out there, though he will cheat every once in a while and see how Mednafen implements certain things.

Filling up terabytes takes no time at all when you have an internet connection and live in a country that doesn't hunt down torrent users.
Besides. what's the point in downloading an entire romset? You're gonna spend more time rifling through the files than actually playing the damn games. It's much better to download a single game when you're feeling like playing it.

What the fuck are you talking about? You do realize we are using computers right? When I say "file" that doesn't mean I'm going to have someone mail me a printout of the file in binary to put in a filing cabinet and type the whole thing out when I want to play it.

because the standalone mgba shaders suck ass and the vbam ones are okay.

>>125668302
This is actually interesting because back when I first learned of Retroarch I got the list of emulators in it and noticed that basically the only emulators it had were either ones I had not heard of or were ones that were mostly complete, without much in the way of bugs or graphical glitches; for example, the aforementioned BSNES and Mednafen's PSX core which -- while it looks awful due to SD -- no one could accuse of being buggy in the emulation. I noticed inaccurate, messy emulators like PCSX2, ePSXe, ZSNES, Project 64, etc. were not in RA, and I assumed this was one of the reasons.

And I thought, perhaps naively, that the creator of RA had some kind of strange standards for how accurate an emulator had to be in order to be "allowed" into RA, like it was an exclusive front end made only for emulators that had achieved some level of refinement, even if that meant he would not include emulators for newer consoles yet or ever.

However, my illusions were eventually crushed when he started adding stuff like Mupen64 Plus, PPSSPP, Dolphin, etc., emulators which have serious accuracy flaws on at least some high profile games and many more on unknown or shovelware games.

No you can cut redbook audio if you want but you can't change sample based music short of changing the game files and nobody has ever bothered trying considering that just extracting PSF is already a massive pain in the ass if you have no coding experience.

>>125712658
Depends on what it would do in a real SNES vs what it would do on BSNES if you dumped the x86 chip as you would dump a superfx chip or a DSP chip.

If BSNES doesn't entirely replicate exactly how a real SNES would interact with such a piece of hardware with the equivalent dumped hardware in binary form then yes it is not 100% accurate. The idea of "100% accurate emulation" is to have an exact copy of a SNES in software form that will always behave exactly as a real SNES did (with some small allowances for lack of variability at the atomic level) in response to digitized equivalent inputs.

In other news vaguely related to emulation on /v/:

No shit, it takes the BSNES end being able to accept input and convey output like a real SNES as well to get it to use the chip dump in an accurate way.

>there will never a SNES emulator that lets me emulate spilling Mountain Dew all over the emulated SNES while it's running

Actually, how hard do you think this would be? I want it now.

SNES9x lead devs (who didn't do shit these past 10 years incidentally) sold out and fucked everybody over:

"we have used an emulation tool with the permission of the two original creators of that software over a decade ago (Gary Henderson and Jeremy Koot). "

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CWdR684WIAAtju-.png:large

https://pikointeractive.com/blog/emulator-issue-update-1-0/

So that's why Jerremy Koot didn't do anything against Retron5/Hyperkin. I hope every snes9x contributor feels good about being left out of the money deal for these two ageing has-been fucks to pocket the money.

>>125718739

>>125719201
>Actually, how hard do you think this would be? I want it now.
Way too much power required to do it, and even if that wasn't a problem (say we get consumer grade quantum computer soonish), the amount of coding competence and research you would need would probably be way too much

Well of course you could study an SNES that had mountain dew spilled over it and try to reproduce the effect of that specific spill on an emulator but you couldn't customize your mountain dew spill (quantity, angle, temperature, composition velocity etc) which would be kind of a bummer

Yes. The game was fucking amazing but SEGA took it off the XBLA and PS Store when the plane license expired.

I still turn on my 360 for it every once in a while.

>>125720309
Well, wait now that I actually think about it you could just do a fluid physics simulation on an SNES 3D model then deduce what direct effect it would have from different variables (quantity, conductivity etc) that would probably be somewhat doable even with current day tech, but you would still need a chip or even transistor accurate SNES emulator to fully translate those effects, not to mention you would also need a simulation of how the spill evolves over time in a given environment or you would just permanently emulate a fresh spill, you also wouldn't be able to emulate the sticky sensation on your controller unless you physically modify it.

Well that's the part that's actually hard, you can only speculate about the effect of a short until you actually test it and nobody is gonna kill that much SNES just for that, if you have emulation with a sufficient level of accuracy it becomes very simple to see what happens when you short thing in pretty much all possible ways, the rest is actually very easy to emulate in comparison.

Unpopular games don't work in even "good" emulators. No one wants to bother to fix their issues.

>>125737681
Good emulators are accurate emulators. They can deal with unexpected things.

I like the tales of things like all the games that didn't work in SNES emulators for years, or tales of romhacks that wound up not working on real hardware because of overly lenient emulation concerned with reduced clockspeed.

There are plenty of hacks that will eventually be unplayable because they were written based on hacked together emulators that then updated to fix the shoddy work.

>>125737453
PPSSPP Is HLE and while there is nothing wrong with that you will always end up with those problems due to the game specific nature of it.

>>125738639
>HLE
>nothing wrong with that
For a system that's basically on par with the PS1, it's a bit of a joke.

Why is PCSX2 so shit compared to Dolphin?

>>125721264
Damn, you just reminded me of all those OoT glitches and skips people would achieve by tilting the cartridge, before all the actual in-game glitches that break the game were found.

>>125721264
>>125743331
That actually sounds quite possible to do.

>>125743309
The simple reason is that almost everything worth playing on Dolphin is made by Nintendo, for underpowered simplistic hardware. They all stuck to the same coding style, a hack that works for one game will probably work for another dozen.

Meanwhile, the PS2 was both a far more complex system internally, and had huge third party support, with hundreds of devs all developing their own workarounds for the limitations they encountered. So you end up with an absolute mess of an emulator, with only popular games having any work done at all.

>>125743640
Doesn't help that the only video plugin worth a shit is essentially a black box that only one person so far has been willing to touch.

>>125738639
>due to the game specific nature of it.
Emulators are not supposed to be "game-specific"

hey senpaitachi im thinking of buying a freemcboot v1.94 memory card for my PS2 off of ebay for £9

also an old friend once told me about a weird game for the ps2 he played on his modded one that was weirdly sexual and had you in a massage parlour or some shit, does anyone know that game?

In theory, emulators shouldn't be game specific. But in reality, a great deal are because it's too hard for a feeble human brain to program with thought of consistent expansive, vast concepts rather than simply for specific examples.

The blarg's SNES filter would be perfect, but is not designed for genesis, ends up squashing the screen.

>>125749105
>can i plug in muh usb hdd and play games from it?
No. USB is slow as shit.

You've got 2 options. Either get the HDD attachment, or ESR patch your isos and burn them to discs.

I personally just burn them. Patching takes all of 2 seconds.

>>125749113
What? No, the reality is that LLE requires a lot of processing power and pretty complete documentation about the original system. Look what one fucking guy has done for PSX emulation in a few years with Japanese system manuals with XEBRA compared to a whole bunch of clueless retards writing plugins for ePSXe.

>>125749123
That should not happen. That emulator is made to run on a fucking Wii, and even then manages to run full speed on the N3DS. Also, I get no such lag on my end using the baked-in NTSC filters, on a first-gen Core i7. What are your specs?

Kazooie shoots the eggs
Kazooie uses the special boots
Kazooie provides the invincibility
Kazooie stores all the jiggies

As far as I can tell, the only things Banjo can do is that roll attack and climb trees.

You being poor and/or stupid doesn't mean the same thing will happen to the rest of us.

I plan to at least keep all this shit alive until I die.

>>125774301
It's called overscan, it's normal on consumer CRT TVs

I lost my harddrive recently due to an unfortunate crash, and I couldn't recover most of my emulators.

I read the wiki, and it says Project 64's latest build has opt-in malware. Is it the kind of opt-in where it installs regardless of if you opt out or not, or is is safe as long as I make sure to not have the installer checked?

On a similar note, there's a mediafire link for a netplay version. I only play single player when emulating, would that client be fine for that? Should I use it over downloading the newest version?

>>125780365
You see, I don't give a shit about losing stuff since you know, I'm connected to the Internet, I can redownload whatever I want.

Hey guys, trying to get this Cemu emulator working, but I need to download a game. Can anyone tell me how these WUDs for Wii U games to run work? I've got one with the download for one, but it has a bunch of 160+ MB files so I can't download it all, and I don't even know whether I'm supposed to.

Anybody got some kind of instructions for these?

This argument would be valid if the people who generally use scanlines and crt filters didn't autispreg out every time HQ texture filters are mentioned.
Fact of the matter is, there's always a faggot who feels the need to dictate to others what they should like.

Nobody knows?

If you cant figure out what .rar files are (and incapable of using google) then emulators are way too advanced for you. You may want to find another more appropriate hobby.

Guys should I emulate Xenogears with mednafen or ePSXe/PCSX for muh HD? I remember seeing 1080p screenshots of that game here and it almost didn't look like shit.

>>125805335
but anon, i didn't have problems with .rar files when I was a kid.

>>125805375

In ePSXe with the right plugins probably. Mednafen doesn't do increased internal res.

>>125805335
I know what rars are, but not if all of them are required for WUDs to work or which to use since they're all fairly large and say "part."

>>125805572
>but not if all of them are required for WUDs to work or which to use since they're all fairly large and say "part."
part
/pärt/
noun: part; plural noun: parts
1. a piece or segment of something such as an object, activity, or period of time, which combined with other pieces makes up the whole.
>which combined with other pieces makes up the whole.
Sure is a stumper.

>>125805375
Try both ePSXe and PCSXr, see which one works better less shittier and use it.
I tend to go with PCSXr whenever possible.

>>125805572
Apparently you don't know based on everything you just fucking said.

>>125781186
pls respond

is emulating ps2 Tales games feasible on a modern PC? zesty is getting on my nerves and i want to play older mothership titles like abyss but i dont have a console

>>125806058
Do you run linux? Why did windows PCSXr development stop anyway?

>>125719241
Nowhere is said that they got paid in return. They just authorized commercial use of their code because they don't give a fuck about that old license they choosed 10 years ago. Same thing with Retron 5 devs,

>>125806959
No, I run Windows. It's not that Win development stopped, just all the PCSXr devs are Linuxfags so they don't release builds. You can still get occasional Win builds from here http://www.emucr.com/search/label/PCSX-Reloaded/

>>125714296
>if you dumped the x86 chip as you would dump a superfx chip or a DSP chip.

Watch out, we have emu experts on emugen, no shit!

>>125807448
How does emucr get them?

>>125800870
Actually I'd be happy to have a perfect replica of the box, cartridge, and manual but emulate the games.

I wouldn't even care if the cartridge or disc had any info on them. I just like having them.

>>125807960
They build it, probably even have a buildbot with an autopload script set up.

>>125806959
No one on the dev team uses Windows, simple as that.
>>125807448
>You can still get occasional Win builds from here http://www.emucr.com/search/label/PCSX-Reloaded/
Those are just dev builds, they get built every time a change is made to PCSX-R even if it has nothing to do with the Windows version (like the last few builds there, absolutely nothing changed if you're on Windows).

This is why I stopped contributing.

>>125808874
Don't give up, get the admin to lock the pages from being edited by people that don't have accounts instead.

>>125808250
They do dev builds only once every three months?
I don't keep track of the versions I used so I can't attest, but I know that on the July release which is the one I'm using right now I can get Crash Bandicoot to not crash at a point where the previous one I had did.
>absolutely nothing changed if you're on Windows
Are you implying that literally all the code they've written in some 1500 commits is inside the Linux-only code?

>>125809001
Oh yeah, forgot that was an option.

>>125808874
Makes me think, did this ever happen on the SNES page? I mean ZSNES fanboy aren't exactly the most reasonable people..

>They do dev builds only once every three months?
They build whenever there's a change. There hasn't been any changes in months:

>Are you implying that literally all the code they've written in some 1500 commits
No, just "the last few builds there".

>>125807739
The point is having chips which do processing attached to a SNES cart is not some radically new thing. That's exactly what a SuperFX chip is.

>>125809206
Nice, thank you based admin.

Will you ever fix your custom PCSXR build?

>>125808250
>No one on the dev team uses Windows, simple as that.
How can you live in the modern world without using Windows? Tons of shit is proprietary and locked only to programs on Windows.

>>125809486
I remember that reddit post.

Anyways I'm probably going with Mednafen, I don't feel like fucking with plugins

>>125809835
Enjoy your pixelated mechs and the problems you'll encounter when you have to change discs

>>125809961
What problems? I've played a bunch of multiple discs RPGs in Mednafen and never had issues. Is there a Xenogears specific problem or something?

I can deal with pixelated mechs.

>>125810220
Not sure if any specifics but you have to do the weirdass cue sheet thing

>>125810270
Yeah the .m3u playlist. Takes 5 seconds to write.

>>125809835
It's funny how people pretend mednafen is for elitist high end emulator users and yet frequently the reasons given by people for using it rather than PCSXR or ePSXe are "I don't feel like fucking with plugins." In other words, they're not experts at using emulators. They don't know the intricate details of the settings they need to apply and they don't care to learn. They're actually not elite at all. ePSXe users are the elite, the ones who will spend hours learning how to use an emulator to get the best quality possible out of their emulation experience.
