Yep, in particular those are the rules for public domain in books, and they're so because old timey authors didn't really have publishers and no one held the rights. It will never work in the same way for books that have rights held by corporations rather than individuals.
And so there will never really be an automatic public domain for video games.
However, some publishers do release them for free, but it's entirely at their own discretion.

To be clean with the law, you need to acquire a second hand physical copy.
No, it's not better to just let them vanish, but that's how copyright laws work.
Regardless, if a company isn't actively distributing a game, it's very unlikely that they'll pursue pirated copies of it, so it's mostly safe to download roms, even if you live in a country where the local copyright enforcement agency watches your every step.

So it does, and pretty damn well too. I did a full 4-lap race without any problems. There were some moments when I felt the frame rate being better than others, but there were no slowdowns, so I guess it was the PSX real framerate.

I'm starting to think that the reason none of the games I have worked is because they coincidentally were all in img format and it appears MAME only reads bins with properly setup cues.

Ninja Gaiden Black

Breakdown
Conker Live & Reloaded
Genma: Onimusha
Phantom Dust
The Red Star
Shenmue II
DoA Ultimate + Xtreme
So in the end, an emulator wouldn't be worth the time invested. I just decided to hunt the games on ebay, the Xbox looks still quite ok on HDTVs nowadays - especially in comparison the the InterlaceStation 2.

If you want to play the first game you'll need to bother with DC emulation anyway so you might as well just play both on that.

Blame emugen literally for it going nowhere, as emugen complained and complained about BeetlePSX so SP decided to just drop it rather than deal with the flood of complaints. Remember, never point out flaws in someone's emulator or you risk them stopping development.

I may have found a game that can't be played properly on MAME. It works, but the inputs never felt good. I had to press the buttons a long while before I would have done in normal conditions.
Also, there were occasional half-second freezes.
>>
>>126017946
No.
>>
>>126017946
You're looking for /homebrew general/, not emugen.

Theoretically, yes. You could load an exploited save from, say, TP whenever you wanted to boot the homebrew channel, but that in itself could be considered 'softmodding' and there's no reason not to just go ahead and install it on your Wii.

You'll want to update it regardless. USB loaders rely on a patch from newer versions. You could just patch that particular driver in, but I'm guessing you don't want to mess with the inner workings of your Wii.

You need to install a cIOS to run backups, just booting up a backup launcher won't do.
>>
>>126017946
No, you need to install some kind of loader.
softmodding should not be too hard since it's old although I have not touched wii stuff in years.
>>
>>126019650
SDHCs will work fine with the adapter on. Just format it beforehand.

Softmodding a Wii is really easy if you can follow a guide and there's not much that could go wrong. I'm also guessing your model is one of the 'unbrickable' ones.

Like I said, you'll want to update it to the latest version beforehand. Just do it through the Wii menu. Then look for the Letterbomb website and follow the instructions.
>>

Here. Easy peasy.
>>
>>126020331
also, http://bootmii.org/
>>
>>126019650
The only thing a standard SD card is really useful anymore is booting bootmii installed in boot2 if you brick your Wii, but if you make proper backups then you can just get a normal SD card after the fact anyway, and bricking is pretty hard nowadays too and all this is only even relevant if you can install bootmii to boot2 anyway.

tl;dr: doesn't really matter
>>
Yes, there's definitely a bit of input lag going on here. It's not noticeable enough for normal games, but it comes out with rhythm-based ones and probably would with precision platformers too.
This was still damn impressive anyway, it's way further ahead than I had expected.

>>126019884
>MAME has thousands of broken games, it never claimed to be perfect.
MAME claims this emulator doesn't work. It explicitly states "THIS MACHINE DOESN'T WORK" when you run it. For something that shouldn't work, it's doing a terrible job at it.
I was just testing the current state of the emulator, and I found it cool that I had a very hard time finding something that wouldn't run properly.

And besides, when I tried running Parappa on PCSX-R it didn't even get to the main menu, so there's that.

It's one of the reasons but not the only one. How come Windows doesn't have a decent package manager in 2015? How come I have to go to search for the various websites everytime I need to install something, sifting through the crapware? Why does every app bundle its own half assed updater?
>>
>>126027145

Because if it had one by default it would be a shitty appstore of the same caliber as the one on android so in truth it would be just as bad as the current situation.

>package manager
Don't know, I wouldn't use it if it existed anyway. Fuck centralised storefronts. I'd rather do some proper research for what I need rather than get the most downloaded piece of shit in that category.
On Linux it's necessary because if you try to install stuff manually you'll get old before you've been able to track down all the retarded library dependencies, so you use something that holds your hand like apt or whatever else is in use today.

Since I've been enjoying it for the PSX I'll test the MAME cores of Saturn and N64 too.
So far with the Saturn I wasn't lucky: I tried Sexy Parodius. The game boots up fine, but if at any time I press Start it throws an error about illegal sprite list. Weird thing is that if I wait on the title screen for a while the demo play runs correctly and at what looks like 100% speed, even though the music breaks after a couple of seconds. However, once the demo ended it threw the sprite error again, without my input.

OK, I figured out what's the deal with MAME. It just requires a cue file to read images. It doesn't matter to it if the cue points to a bin, an img, a mdf or a horse's asshole, but it needs that damn cue. Pretty weird.

Anyway, I'm able to load the Saturn games I have now.
Pandemonium works well. I know this game and it felt pretty much the same as the PC version. I played through the first level and saw only one graphical glitch, and I'm not even sure it was caused by the emulator. However the framerate was only 40-50. I do have a 1st gen i7 though, so newer stuff might be able to run it flawlessly.
Dem loading times though.

Well, I'm done. This was fun.
The other games I tried were
>Panzeer Dragoon
framerate slightly better than Pandemonium, but a lot of stuff not rendered.
>Wipeout
didn't load, probably bad dump, the system saw the disc but didn't recognise it as a Saturn disc
>Fighting Vipers
great framerate, 59-60 all the time, barely any sounds, no music, and missing facial features. Otherwise perfectly playable.

Hopefully they'll focus a bit more on this, it's not completely hopeless.
One thing I noticed, both with the PSX and Saturn cores, is that FMVs always play flawlessly, no stutter and perfect audio, when by experience they're one of the things that never works properly.

Anyone else having problems with their memory cards? I'm using ePSXe here trying to play Persona and it gets stuck on this screen. In fact all of my games don't save. i got through metal gear and parappa save stating so saving wasn't really a problem but here i can't even get past the title. I did not tamper with the emulator settings whatsoever.

No package managers are useful because you are able to update most if not all of the software installed on your system at the same time just by clicking a button (or typing out a command).

I use Arch linux + a "AUR helper" and it's nice to have a giant repository of the latest versions of software you want to install without having to go to the developer's website to download it.
>>
>>126055270
>you are able to update most if not all of the software installed on your system at the same time
Why would I want that? Most programs I don't bother to update because there's no point, several I specifically avoid updating them.
You're making it sound like Linux is becoming more and more like Steam, which isn't surprising considering Valvedrones are all over that shit recently.

>>
>>126055451
>Why would I want that?
Because it's convenient. I always found it way more annoying to update software on windows because the developers usually force you to open a link to their download page on a web browser, download their software, and go through the whole process of installing the software again.

I usually delay software updates on windows because of that too.

It's there if you want to mess with it: https://github.com/simias/gb-rs/tree/libretro-widescreen

I've added two core options: one to tweak the scroll offset in order to move the "seam" between the new and old tiles at the edge of the screen (game specific, a value of 40 works will with Super Mario Land 1) and an other option to completely lock the background scroll which makes you wrap around the edges of the screen.

Am I pleb for only being able to enjoy older games like Earthbound and Super Mario RPG by spamming the fuck out of the fast forward feature?

I tried playing both when they launched on the WiiU and Wii VC's respectively, but I just couldn't into them because they felt so dry and sluggish.

I just modded by Wii to have emulators with fastfoward and in games like Pokemon I pretty much have fast forward taped down at all times except for key battles or very specific moments where I need to navigate. SMRPG and Earthbound not as often but still a substantial amount because of timed hits and slots-based HP.

He developed bsnes, the most accurate and compatible SNES emulator.

He was first disliked because he tried to dissuade people from using hackfest emulators like ZSNES, back when it was still the most popular and most widely used SNES emulator.

That's actually a lot easier than ePSXe.
>>
>>126097471
1.) It's always the BIOS. It's never not been the BIOS. Check your goddamn BIOS files then check them again twice just to make sure. Then check the .md5 hash to make triple sure

2.) In the off chance that it's actually not the BIOS, it's the .cue sheet. If it's not the BIOS, then it has never not been a broken .cue sheet. Download a new .cue sheet from Redump and make sure that your .bin matches the name of the .cue, and if it still isn't working, open the .cue up on whatever text editor you want and make sure it's being pointed to the correct .bin

>why can't it just be as simple as ePSXe.
How can you make it more simple than putting three files in one folder and dragging a .cue onto a .exe? How fucking stupid are you? Why do we need at least two "HURRRR MEDANAFEN 2HARD2USE" posts in every thread? There are like three different fucking guides on the wiki specifically for Mednafen because people like you are too stupid to function.
>>

I put renamed the BIOS into disksys.rom and put it into ~/.nestopia and it worked. It didn't work when I put it into subdirectories of that directory.
>>
>>126057236
That's because ePSXe and mednafen aren't in the same category (pure accuracy vs "improvements" over the original) while VBA-M and mGBA are in the same category and mGBA simply does most things better than VBA-M and it does them just as easily as VBA-M while not being any heavier.

I don't really ever use muh HD emulators but they should stay there.

I just found my old modded PS2 laying around and felt like playing FF X on it again, so I went ahead and got me the International version.
But it has been getting the "look" glitch where the console fails to load the second FMV in the game, so before I quit my attempts and consider this as an unfixable hardware problem, I'm trying to get a good FF X ISO.
But what is the recommended website to get sure-to-be-working PS2 ISO/ROMs? I don't have many DVDs to spare here and nowhere near a place to buy extras if something goes wrong.

As an atheist myself, your second statement is just bullshit. Creationism and evolution aren't mutually exclusive, and you can't confidently say that creationists are wrong.

Is there any kind of one-stop shop solution for joypads in Retroarch? Basically I have my Xbox One controller which I use in most games, but when I play SNES game I want to go for authenticity and I use a real SNES controller to USB adapter. But any time I want to switch controllers out I have to remap all the buttons again and it's a pain in the ass. Eventually I want to use real controllers to USB for all systems.

So does something like this exist? Like some universal button mapping tool? How hard would it be to code something like this?

God made us in his image.

While I can appreciate what they were doing on the limited hardware at the time, like cramming in such a huge and detailed overworld, I was glad when it was finally over. The exploration basically amounts to trial and error pixel hunting outside of the sparsely offered and very vague hints, and the final dungeon was a nightmare to navigate.

That is what I'm getting at. I'd argue one of the main reasons one should go back and play the old entries in long-running series is because you get to further enjoy what directions took with the original concepts when given increased freedom of expression.

Technically, it's up to the frontend and resolutions supported by video hardware, emulation itself has little to do with it. Afaik, the only systems able to run snes emulation that can output 240p are soft-modded gamecube and wii. A few old PC video cards might support it too but it's generally a hassle to get them running on anything.

>>126160713
Why don't hardware manufacturers support strange people who want to change their display res to 240p? Why can only RetroArch be the purview of us, the weirdos?
>>
>>126155628

You're limited in how much data you can put on a CD-ROM. Even if you were willing to go beyond the capacity of usual discs you can't go beyond 100 minutes as far as the timestamps are concerned. That's probably not enough to fit the entire 4 discs even after removing the duplicated data.

Even if you managed to make a single disc you'd have to modify the game to play along and that would be a lot of hassle for no much gain.

>>
>>126190176
Ah damn, that sucks. I'm sorry for you.
>>126191516
I'm going to guess it's to simulate every RGB subpixel individually, not for displaying it on a CRT.
>>
>>126190321
>I'd share shots of my playthroughs like some anons here do, but my setup isn't exactly conducive to it.

video_gpu_record = false
video_gpu_screenshot = false

Then it will record and take screenshots from the raw, unscaled output, regardless of external shaders or scaling.
>>
>>126191516
So a game that is 320x240 and switches to 256x240 or 512x240 or anything else will be displayed correctly without apparent fractional scaling or requiring a mode change.

Higher horizontal resolution also hides those fractional scaling artifacts by making them too small for the CRT to resolve, and signal blur shader effects look much better with higher horizontal resolution.

>>
>>126191516
I think it's just to allow you to display shit with any horizontal resolution with minimal scaling artifacts. It's important to have a set up that can do them all at the same time because some games switch on the fly and modern GPUs can't switch modes very easily.

It's meant to serve as a one-size-fits-all solution that completely hides all scaling artifacts from aspect ratio correction. Keep in mind a lot of old games had strange non-square-pixel resolutions, so simply taking something like 256x240 and scaling it and aspect correcting it to 640x480 results in horizontal scaling artifacts. Even a shader like Pixellate has obvious, visible scaling at such a low resolution. By scaling it to an absurdly high horizontal res, you make it so the CRT cannot resolve all those pixels, so it hides any potential scaling artifacts from all sorts of low retro resolutions, even weird ones like 364x240.

I would try to do some research on the screen refresh rate first. I've heard RetroArch has issues with cheapo tablets using panels with shitty non-standard refresh rates like 58Hz or even 50Hz, which can cause stuttering on emulators.

58Hz can be corrected for, since 2Hz difference is within the default 5% maximum timing skew. 50Hz would be fucked for everything that isn't PAL, since I doubt anyone would like the game slowed down about 16%.

hi im here asking for a solution, i was playing digimon card battle, and was saving in both memory card and f1 with load states, then i went trough the whole game and finished the first part, then it ask me to save the game in the memory card and says it was saved with no problem at all, but when i try to load the game from load game it's says the file is corrupted

then i tried using another memory card file and i keep gething the same error even on new files, what can i do i dont want to loose everything i've made to that point

Dolphin favours Nvidia, not too sure about PCSX2. The difference is negligible when you use high end cards or DirectX though.

The option you're looking for is the internal resolution in your plug-in settings.

I think you're really unfamiliar with what reicast is by making statements like that.

It is a butchered version of nulldc to begin with, with the only trump cards being less Windows centric (and it runs on shitty Android phones it seems).

>>
>>126204438
>Seems fair, he should do both anyway
You don't seem to get it. He's only interested in PCSX2 on linux. All he does with PCSX2 is port GSdx to OpenGL. That's it.
The only way GSdx is getting DX12 support is if Gabest does it.
>>

Then we'll wait for Gabest to make his move onto it. Or we'll wait for Manufacturers to pick up Vulkan so he can port it.

Might not help too much compared to the DX11 one but the OGL one has plenty of options that would benefit heavily from that.

>>
>>126225146
The thing is, if what it is broken for is not the game you're trying to emulate, then it is better to play on DX9 if you can't get full speed all the time on DX11. In that case it doesn't matter that it's broken as long as it isn't for the game you are playing.
>>
>>126227009
This is why they should just give up and split the emulator a few ways, so you can have less accurate copies for games where that won't cause huge problems and more accurate versions for games where you need it. Like BSNES did.
>>
>>126226824
It is when the game contains thins that DX9 breaks and also when it doesn't outright break everything.

Interestingly sometimes OGL is faster than both of those, Warship Gunner being the latest example of that for me (DX9 hovers around 90fps, DX11 around 85fps and OGL around 110fps)

You can't mix a 64bit binary (i.e. RetroArch) with a 32bit dynamically loadable library (i.e. a libretro core). Both the binary (RetroArch) and the dynamically loadable library (i.e. PCSX2) would have to be either BOTH 32bit or BOTH 64bit then.

https://github.com/aliaspider/reicast-emulator/commit/e29efa717cde1a75e3f057ed932fbe13d9fbee59

I have no dreamcast games to test with though, so I'll just post the binary.

I like the colours better, but now there's a thin layer of white, almost as if the gamma were too high.
This is how I used to play it for reference.
Anyway, just pick one you like. Between those three I'd go with the desaturated one because the third's brightness is way too much.

I found a GDI laying around on my hard drive. I know it boots in Android Reicast, since that's why I had it in the first place.

I get to a "HASH" command, a series of four of them, and then RA crashes.
I noticed the build posted here was 2 MB smaller and the RA aliaspider was using was 8 MB instead of the normal 2 MB, so I guess there's something else to this.

So close you can feel it.

There are a lot of shitty rips out there.

http://www.theisozone.com/downloads/dreamcast/dreamcast-gdi/dead-or-alive-2-usa-v1100/

When something doesn't work right, go for the GD-ROM original.

Also, Sonic Adventure rip versions have a bug where the music doesn't loop. They probably just ripped that out of the game or some shit. If you download GD-ROM original, the music loops correctly.

The Reicast core still has a bug where if it's busy it can sometimes block the menu. It will work again once it starts rendering again.

>>126244698
There is no good emulator.
If you want your game to look pretty and high resolution, especially if it has polygons instead of sprites, you need to pick either ePSXe or PCSX-R and suffer through possibly bad audio and hopefully only minor bugs. They also take some time to set up because of plugin hell.
If you want your game in 320x240 but run well use mednafen.

The one I made was built with Mingw-w64 4.9.2. He probably used a different toolchain.

Probably doesn't have debug symbols stripped. My own RA build is 10MB and I'd prefer to keep the debug symbols so I can run it through gdb if it crashes.

With some games, you have to set the Cable Type to something to get the desired refresh rate (like 60Hz).

With the DOA2 USA version, you need to set Cable Type to VGA (0) (RGB) otherwise it runs in 50Hz mode.

Go look at old nulldc issues and you can get feedback on this kind of stuff.

It's the same reason you can't see runtime shader parameters until you actually load the shader - because the shader isn't compiled yet and therefore the shader subsystem can't run the shader to enumerate the parameters.

Core specific options are loaded with the core.

People used to bitch that everything in the settings menu was lumped together, and now that it's in its own categories they still bitch about it. RA is just subject to constant bitching because it's not some faggy fucking WIMP design and you have options in the first place.

No. Gamepad interfaces are fine when they implement fast scrolling and alphabetic jumps, it's faster than using the mouse wheel in most cases. By the time I physically grab the the mouse and move the pointer across the screen, I would already have done what I needed with the gamepad.

Anyway, I'm sick of debating this with WIMP-only fags over and over, it's clear that nothing can be said to convince them that WIMP isn't the only way.

Use Kodi to watch media. Launch Steam to play games. Use Steam to launch Retroarch shortcuts to specific games. To me, that's the most sensible way to integrate it all, and probably what he's going for.
>>
>>126253943
When are you going to get that it's situational and that not everything benefits from a mouse?

Especially when you are playing a fucking console game.

MAME had the right idea with the OSD menu. No one wants to use a faggot "native" GUI that needs a mouse on their emulation arcade cab. People who want that use frontends like MAMEUI or QMC2.

>>
>>126264401
You might want to double check that. You shouldn't get crackle because you're CPU can't keep up.

Make sure the window is focused, I have had that issue before. Maybe look for errant processes, I had some issues with the Windows updater a while back.

Worst comes to worst, roll back a couple versions.
>>
>>126264637
>You shouldn't get crackle because you're CPU can't keep up.
You're sure about this? Many emulators crackle when they can't keep a perfect sync, I don't know about mednafen.
>>
>>126264798
Yeah, no, I'm saying your CPU should handle Mednafen PSX just fine. I've run it on shittier hardware without crackle. Retroarch specifically handles A/V sync so a slight deviation won't produce crackle too, aside from making Mednafen easier to use.

Seriously double check if it's a PAL game. Maybe also vsync settings? Not really a problem I've encountered before, so I'm just trying to remember what other people have said.
>>
>>126264979
Oh OK, I misunderstood. I'm not the one with the problem, anyway. I agree that there might be something hoarding CPU time, but why would a PAL game cause the problem?
>>
>>126264979
turning vsync off fixed it

So I installed SCP as usual except now it seems to have a much more fancy interface, oh well, it seems to work fine, being recognized as an XBOX controller, so I get PCSX2 and it does not sees it.
Even if well see pic related.

Ok so, checking again if I use XINPUT it does sees it, I guess my mistake is that I should get this "libusb" right?

you should keep vsync on senpai, or you'll get screen tearing and stuttering. you might want to turn on hard-gpu-sync to reduce input lag though.

as for crackles, turning the audio driver to xaudio usually does away with all crackle problems.
>>
>>126265456

What does hard-gpu-sync do exactly?
>>
>>126265213
Something about RA expecting to run at 60 FPS or syncing to 60 FPS and the difference being too far outside the audio delta's range.

>>126265271
Awesome. I don't know why that does it but I'm glad it's worked out.

>>126265456
V-sync was the setting that was seemingly causing the crackles... which actually might mean it's a PAL game still, since you generally sync to your refresh rate...
>>
>>126265543
btw is there any way to add scanlines to mednafen?
>>
>>126265650
There are more shaders than you can shake a stick at as long as you grab them.
Should be in the Online Updater now.
Then from the quick menu, you can select shader options and pick pre-sets. I don't fuss with them much, I'm a sucker for a simple LCD shader (sometimes I try out the NTSC shaders) but I think the crt stuff might be where you want to look.
>>
>>126265508
It just prevents the GPU from buffering frames.

How was this for a snes emulator? I'm trying to find a good snes emulator that had the same overlay touch pad as Snesoid but none of the ones people talk about these days actually have it, which is really fucking disappointing to me. I'd still be using Snesoid if I could but it's problematic on higher OS's i.e. some of my favorite games don't work at all.

>>126268234
there is no point to using standalone emulators on phones when RetroArch exists

Did RetroArch change a bunch of stuff for 1.3? The folders in the application directory are completely different, and it created a bunch of directories in my .config/retroarch

What the hell man
>>
>>126268361
Except retroarch often breaks basic functionality of emulators in the cores it supports. Like not being able to map keyboard inputs properly in MAME for example.

You misequate 'not hooked up' with 'breaking'.

Neither 'broken' or 'not hooked up' are technical terms. As it stands, MAME cannot properly use keyboard inputs through retroarch (whereas other MAME front ends, like SDL MAME works just fine)

Thus, that functionality is *broken*

Go be an autist with your terminology somewhere else.
>>
>>126247223
so how do fuck do you use the reicast core?

retroarch is updated, bios files are there and that context shit is on and yet it still crashes
>>
>>126277075
You need to use this retroarch.exe
https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/sgzY11n8/retroarch.exe

As far as I know, your bios files should be in system/dc and make sure your system folder isnt read-only
>>
>>126277075
>>126277186
Also I can't get shaders to work with this .exe - instant crash
>>
If I wanted to build an emulation-machine should I even bother with getting a gpu? Haven't really kept up with recent emulator projects but as far as I know almost every emulator is 100% cpu.
>>
>>126277302
If you want to use heavy shaders and very high resolutions you'll need a gpu otherwise, as far as I know, the only emulators that need a pretty ok GPU are PCSX2 and Dolphin
>>
>>126277186
>As far as I know, your bios files should be in system/dc

Ohhhhhh

I just had them in the system folder, that explains it, thanks

They should probably point that out somewhere

>>126277536
You can see it in the debug window that retroarch/reicast fails to load a bios or create a vmu. That's how i found out

Got a PSP the other day for mainly emulation.

I was told that older systems were emulated perfectly, and while this is true for GB/GBC, the NES emuator I'm using (NesterJ) hovers around 45FPS, which is lower than I would like.

Are there some settings I could use to fix this?
