Anyway, does TS3 emulates well on the Dolphin? I had troubles on PCSX, mostly graphic glitches which stopped me from completing it there.

>>126442435
Usually stuff plays better on Dolphin at the cost of higher system requirements. Haven't tested that game specifically though.

>>126442435
I gave it a quick test a while ago (played like one level) and it worked flawlessly from my experience.

Does anybody here possess a bvm or other related studio monitor?
And do you find it gets much use compared to simply emulating games that you wish to play?

If you want to play US or PAL versions of games with the original Japanese voiceover, you should check if someone made an undub version.
If not, you could try doing one yourself.

Different reasons, I guess.
A lot of friends of mine prefer to play games in their first language instead of English and I know a lot of people do that. A lot of old PAL games were released in other languages as well, so yeah.

How in the fuck do you get Super Mario World hacks working on retroarch? IPS patching only gives me a black screen. Snes9x can't seem to soft patch when using retroarch either. I keep seeing things about how I need to hex edit the header of the rom, but I cannot find enough information to explain this fully. Do I just use Zsnes? Is there really no way to play hacks with good quality?

Is there a way to use save files from Nestopia in another NES emulator? Do I need to convert them somehow or is it not possible to use save files in other emulators?

Yes, file extensions are just indicators, they have nothing to do with the actual content of the file

is any work being done on the DOSbox core? it barely work as it is.

Soo I don't know if it's the ISO (which I don't think it is) or ppsspp itself, but when I try playing Hitman Reborn Battle Arena 2 I get some weird shit going on. When Player 1 moves to the right side and starts facing left, the character will moonwalk when trying to move to the right and will reverse shuffle when trying to move to the left. Basically directional inputs and the sprite itself aren't mirrored as they should be when on the right facing left i.e. trying to dash to the left will make you dash to the right and vice versa.

I've tried multiple ISOs and they were all the same albeit they were dumped by the same group (couldn't find any that weren't dumped by Caravan) but that shouldn't be a problem because I've seen videos of the people playing the game normally using that dump.

>>126457481
That really sounds like the emulator messing something up. If you're using the latest version try downgrading to whatever version's known to work.

If I had to take a guess, it's CRT-Royale using the shadow mask filter. You need a 4k monitor or to downscale from 4k to properly use it. Keep in mind that downscaling won't look as good as an actual 4k monitor though

>>126463301

I don't either. That's the great/bad part about CRT-Royale, it's super fucking customizable.

Do I need to compile all those files or do I just drop them in a folder somewhere?

>>126476885
You'd need to compile it. If you can't compile it yourself, I could upload it somewhere for you if you know of a simple file sharing site I can use without registering or some shit.

That being said, just like another anon in the thread said earlier, it might be because you were using a headered/non-headered ROM when you were supposed to use the reverse.

http://www.romhacking.net/utilities/400/

This utility will tell you if your ROM has a header or not, and will let you remove/add them easily without doing HEX fuckery. Use it on a clean ROM, give it a header if the patch needs it, remove the header if it doesn't, and then try it before we resort to bzsnes.

Remember when you thought emulation would keep preserving all games for the future so that almost none would be lost?

>>126486173

Nah, I always thought emulation would be my chance of playing all the games I've had to pass, while improving them (savestates were a huge deal back in the day) and giving the finger to the manufacturers.

Tell me about emulating pokemon games. I was thinking about starting with LeafGreen/FireRed but from my understanding you can't complete the game without trading and I didn't know how the emulator handled that. I mean I guess it could sense the battery files from the other game but I wanted to consult the necrosages first.

>>126523440
I think you can't 100% it because there are some Pokemons available only on certain versions, but only the peak autists 100% Pokemon anyway.

You can complete the story, sure. You just can't 100% it the entire game.

There's ROM hacks that add all Pokémon to each game, though.

>>126525892
Isn't "100%ing" a game or even trying to a good diagnostic sign for autism and should never actually be attempted by a normal human? Back when I was on Gamefaqs long ago I used to think it was harmless, but now I realize there are thousands, perhaps millions of people, wasting their lives collecting every single thing, every single item, doing every side quest in a game, etc.

Isn't Pokemon relatively easy to complete 100%? Trading aside it's just about capturing each Pokemon once right? That sounds relatively fun if you enjoy the game (I don't).

You're right to not like them for screenshots. Gaming mags didn't slap a CRT filter on their screenshots of games: they took the source image, the real game. They showed that. Once someone has the source they can apply whatever filter they want to it--but by taking a pic of an already filtered screen you are denying that possibility.

1.) Download Final Burn Alpha
2.) Download a Neo-Geo ROM. For example, I will use Metal Slug 2
3.) DON'T FUCKING CHANGE THE NAME OF THE ROM! For Metal Slug 2, it'll be named "mslug2.zip". If the site you downloaded it from does not automatically have Metal Slug 2 named that, it is a shitty site you should never visit again. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! Do not unzip the ROM, you want to load the .zip.
4.)Point Final Burn Alpha to that shit and run it

This isn't rocket science, but it's a bit archaic in terms of usability if you've never done it before.

2 - get mame core
3 - download a bios pack for mame, which will most likely include neogeo

When there's many systems I'm interested in playing via emulator, I think it's fair to be picky. I don't have time to work on all of them, so I have to pick the most suitable ones to work on.
Aside from N64, I'm interested in Sega Saturn, Ps1, Ps2, Gamecube, Wii, and maybe a few arcade systems. I'm also interested in Sega genesis and SNES, but I feel that emulators for those 2 systems are probably good enough imo.

>>126557346

That's for refresh rate in video games by the way, I agree that the screen flicker is much more noticeable, I never used anything below 60 and 30 would really melt your eyes after a few minutes.

>>126559798

The flicker at 30Hz is really tiring. It's not like I really notice it when it's there but I definitely notice an improvement when I switch to 60Hz. It's like that strobe of old neon lights. It's not directly linked to the framerate of whatever you're watching, it just means that the screen will display the same image several times in a row but the flicker rate will still be higher than 30Hz.

LCDs don't flicker (quite the opposite really since they're prone to ghosting) so it's irrelevant there.

I just realized that younger people might not remember that you couldn't generally film CRT screens back then unless they were at a very high refresh rate because of this problem.

You should have increased the shutter speed, assuming you were displaying a still image. For live TV you were screwed.

Found this on some random website, I don't know if it's really representative of the game but if it is then the 3ds version is seriously worse.

That being said it might just be a bad port.

The only websites I find comparing the 3DS and PS2 are nintendo fan communities that are willing to spout all kinds of nonsense to show that the 3DS is better. I've even seen one listing Thumb-2 as one advantage of the 3DS over the PS2.

Some day I'll understand the mindset of fanboys.

>>126572540

Not to mention comparing two architecture that have very little in common,

I mean seriously can you even seriously compare the EE with a generic ARM CPU?

Not to mention the GS and all of it's mindfuckery compared to some generic GLES GPU..

>>126572540

Processor:
Old 3DS has a more modern, but slightly slower processor than the PS2. New 3DS is quite a bit faster, however. The PS2 does have lots of weird coprocessors though.

Graphics:
The 3DS does have vertex and geometry shaders, but these can easily be simulated by the PS2's VUs. However the PS2's GPU is an ungodly fast but simple rasterizer, suitable for multipass rendering. The 3DS's GPU just isn't. The one thing the 3DS's GPU has going for it is fragment lighting. And the PS2 could probably fake that.

Sound:
The 3DS has a custom DSP, allowing for advanced and programmable sound processing. The PS2 does not, instead basically just having 2 PS1 SPUs smacked together, made to output at 48000Hz and called the SPU2. But, at least most audio effects are in the SPU2's fixed hardware.

In conclusion: The PS2 is significantly better than the Old 3DS, while being about on par with the New 3DS.

>>126571870
Its a seriously bad port. Its one of the reasons I sold my 3DS and decided I could wait for emulation if I really want to play any 3ds games.

>>126566649
Hey /emugen/, pleb here, I'm just coming back to thank you again, I gave RetroArch a try and it seems to be working like a dream now. Thank you again, you all made my week.

>>126573036
>>126573273

I think the difference in architecture makes it very difficult to compare the both of them, I'm pretty sure that DQVIII would look quite different if it had been developed primarily for the 3DS. That means that all straight ports will probably bias against the 3DS. It's like comparing the PSX and SNES using Chrono Trigger.

These days it seems everybody's converging towards the same architectures so I guess it won't be that much of a problem in the future.

That being said I can believe that the PS2 is more powerful, 3DS games aren't really graphically impressive. They tend to look sharper though but then again most PS2 games look blurry natively.

>>126573892
>They tend to look sharper though but then again most PS2 games look blurry natively.
Progressive mode negates a lot of said blurriness.

>>126572540
It makes them feel good if their favorite company is better. They identify with the company. It is a form of stockholm syndrome.

>>126574192
Retroarch with GPU hard sync enabled greatly improves it, still not the same as real hardware but way more manageable than standalone VBA-M

>>126573273
>The PS2 is significantly better than the Old 3DS
This is just sad. Nintendo hardware, why are you so bad?

>>126574935
Because it's a cheap handeld, it can't have much power to begin with and technically doesn't need that much.

>>126571870
It's not. If you see other comparisons there's still a few missing trees (unlike that screenshot) but the graphics are mostly the same. I'm still excited to have a portable version of the game that isn't on a phone. There will still be no good reason to emulate the 3DS version of the game over the PS2 version.

>>126575761
This was barely an excuse for the original 3DS, but not even close for the N3DS. Compare it with similarly priced cell phones. 720p resolution with the hardware to support it for less than $200. Nintendo is just a sly jew that has a huge defense force. Hard to tell who is worse between them and Apple.

About DC's WinCe emulation...

I tried Sega Rally 2 on Demul and it worked slow as fuck (on menus, surprisingly fullspeed ingame) with random crashes ingame. Is that normal or it could be just the build i'm using? Because on YT there is a guy that was able to play it normally...

>>126576353
That picture was probably an emulation vs 3DS comparison, but the PS2 is still noticeably better looking than the 3DS. The PS2 version is actually sharper looking with more detail. The 3DS version tries to cover it up by giving you some bloom.

So, would watching broadcast TV on a CRT give headaches?

>>126576917
What's your point? I already agree with you. I'm just saying that other videos of the 3DS version (which is out in Japan) aren't as shitty looking as this one comparison that's always posted from before the port's release.

>>126577118
Eh, its just my own anger towards Nintendo for cheaping out on their handheld showing through. Don't take it personally. I just feel a need to point out that the 3DS version still looks worse than the PS2 version considering how old and outdated the PS2 is.

>>126556016

Thing is, you have Sony that lies to everybody and tells you they have a 1.2 to 2GHz handheld, when the damn thing is running at 333MHz max. Nintendo doesnt tell lies like that at least.

Why isn't that page locked from being edited by ip editors? It was like that a week ago, wasn't it?

>>126557014
75 is more than enough for me in my CRT. i only go above that for modern games if anything, since I'd have to lower my resolution

>>126587241
Same, people will just accuse me of bias or being an imbalanced person if I try to edit the wiki.

Not sure to be honest, I haven't played around with MP to be honest, that was more bgk and skidau's work I think on VBA-M. Afterall skidau did the dolphin-vbam integration.

I mainly did core work and other things back in the day. I hardly touch anything emulation related now, I just stick to my exe packer and its DRM fork now, and some audio DSP junk for FB2K.

They lie, just not in ways you care about. For example, the lie about not censoring. At least Sony is a lot better about selling you hardware for closer to what its worth. Sure, it isn't much of a consolation, but it is one I will take.

PS Vita is actually slower than New 3DS with a CPU at 333/444Mhz max. So the hardware cannot be that good.

>>126589292
that looks great and all but the high resolution makes it take like 30 seconds to load
...dick
also advanced wars kicks ass

>>126591981
They increased the CPU in the 3DS for what? The screen is one of the weakest links right? How is practically no increase to performance worth keeping that screen resolution?

>calling a guy a dick because he posted an image with a large file size when it was pretty essential that he do so

After it does the combiners, it does chroma keying. Your point being?

i can get a dreamcast with 2 controllers and 3 games for 16 dollars.
should I do it?

>>126598571
no use demul

Is there any way to play those translations on the PCE that have external audio .wav files like the Ys IV fandub and the Xak III fandub, in RetroArch's PCE core?
Whenever I try to load them RA just crashes

>>126599029

Don't listen to this guy, neither nulldc, Reicast, Makaron, or Demul can really emulate the DC 100%. All have tradeoffs.

Buy the real hardware and hook it up to a VGA monitor, you won't regret it. Best system since the SNES.

>>126599591
thanks brah gonna do it.

Is this being played on a BVM?
