It's just a quick hack to use Rustation's GL renderer with mednafen. It's not really usable yet, unless you hate textures in video games.

See I always wondered why PC games couldn't just allow for a Low Beyond Low mode that basically made every graphics compromise possible to get the game down to playable on toasters. That image is a bit below what it would look like but it reminded me of that.

The OP is not frankenbeetle.

>>135261193

You can see the framerate here, I get ~100fps at 8x (but it'll get worse when I'll add semi-transparency).

The software renderer is still running in the background (I just hooked up the GL code on top of it) so the framerate can only be worse at the moment. It still beats the software renderer when you increase the IR of course.

>>135262830

I remember that Unreal Tournament used to have settings like that, UT2004 at minimum settings looks like daggerfall.

>>135263159
This is seriously cool.

I just downloaded ppsspp and a let us cling together iso.

What kind of hell can I expect before I delete them, forget I tried, and re-install in two years?

The last time I tried, what feels like 3 years ago, it had issues left and right. Mostly quality of life stuff just ruining the experience and a couple stalls. Think it even had some off center vignette you couldn't disable.

Seems to be running fine though. Any recommended settings?

>>135263876
PPSSPP has no settings. Just crank up the internal resolution and have fun. You can mess with shaders I guess?

Bumping my stupid querstion from last thread and adding another one.

If savestates are supposed to be a snapshot of the current emulated console RAM, how are PS3/X360/WiiU emulator gonna handle that size wise? or is there a trick to making those snapshot not insanely huge?

>>135265607
512MB isn't unreasonably huge

>>135265607
Afaik, PS360 have a laughably tiny amount of RAM. Also keep in mind not all RAM is used at any given point

>>135265607
>is there a trick to making those snapshot not insanely huge?
It'll inevitably be larger, but compression can help (at the cost of loading times).

>>135265818
Compared to what the most other console have it's a pretty big step up, It's not that uncommon for people to end up with several hundred savestates, when the files are 1-16MB it's not that big of a deal when those file are likely to go over 100MB it's a bit more consequential but I guess space is cheap and you can cache those savestates in RAM to avoid read and write times affecting the emulation too much.

>>135266827
>It's not that uncommon for people to end up with several hundred savestates

You mean for like TASs, right?

I very rarely have more than one state.

>>135266909
>You mean for like TASs, right?
Nah normal usage. Older PC games gave me bad habits


And time for the bonus stupid question while I'm still awake.

How hard/feasible would it be to make a tool that allow something similar to savestates on any PC program?

>>135266827
>It's not that uncommon for people to end up with several hundred savestates
I dispossessed myself of that habit when I found out that save states don't transfer between versions for anything past SNES level emus and sometimes not even that. PS1-2/GCN/Wii I just use hardsaves and delete the save states when they're no longer needed. Besides, due to memory cards you can have a ton of saves on these mid-age consoles.

>>135267115
You can make save states in VMs, so it's already easily doable.

>>135267187
>states don't transfer between versions

How often are you updating that this is a problem?

>>135267306
With emus in heavy development like Dolphin, a lot. Even PCSX2 I have 3 vers from the past few months due to maniacs hyping the 1.4 stable and then some efficiency increases after that in February

Getting a early 233mhz G3 Imac later today and for shits and giggles I'm hopefully making it the classic game machine (nothing above the 16 bit era most likely). Problem is, while I could technically install OSX onto it, it'll most likely use a lot of the little resources this machine has left and leave little for emulators. Anyone know which emulators and the particular versions that'll work with Mac OS9? A lot of the current ones I see are all OSX

>>135291769

SP has indicated several times he wants to do an OS9 port of RetroArch.

Outside of that, doesn't look like there is much to look for with OS9. Try Virtual Game Station for PSX, only really standout thing.

>PSX emulation

Hah no I highly doubt this thing could do that reasonably well. 233mhz PowerPC, either a 2MB (upgradable to 6MB) Rage 128 or a 6MB ATI Rage something. If it's a Rev A, 384mb max (actually that might not be a hinderance).

If I somehow found a Mezzanine slot Voodoo 2 with a WHOLE 12mb of video memory, I might be able to do some games. But funding that rare as FUG card is about as bad as finding a 100% honest and moral politician.

>>135310141

>Connectix

Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time.

Probably going to get some shit for it, but here it goes:

Is there any way to make OpenEmu perform any better? RetroArch is perfectly fine with most cores and filters added, but this shit kinda stutters even with the snes9x core. It's nonsense.

>>135311364
Doesn't sound like a performance issue. Sounds like a graphics driver issue or similar, perhaps an openEMU problem. Do you get stuttering in other games or programs?

Quick question: I'm using Retroarch to play N64 games on Mupen64plus. How exactly do I get cheats for N64? I went to "Online Updater" and selected "Update cheats" but it only loaded cheat files for game boy/advance, genesis NES PS1 and 4 Sega consoles.

How do I get em for N64?

>>135312396
Doesn't support cheats:
http://wiki.libretro.com/index.php?title=Mupen64Plus

>>135312396
There is no cheat database for N64 in Mupen64Plus-libretro

>>135311792
Nope, unless it's something that it can't genuinely handle. Given it's OSX it's not the best platform to play games for sure, but at least anything else is fine. RetroArch like I said works superb with some "accuracy based" cores where this fucks up even with the snes9x core.

It's not heavy stuttering though, just like a drop every 4 seconds where you can notice that at the very least a few frames have been skipped. Sound is good, though.

I'm thinking it's OpenEmu, the issue is that while this little program is pretty neat for building a collection with covers and all, and its "just works" principle, it also lacks any options regarding to performance. Just changing filters.

>>135312504
>>135312518
Fuck me, Any Idea why not? And I suppose there is no work around short of "use different emulator".

Kind of a shame really. I always found it super interesting to see devs test levels and what happens if you move beyond certain stuff you're not supposed to move beyond and N64 has a bunch of those.

>>135298769
Shut up Danny.

>>135314645

If anything this helps Rustation.

Regarding epsxe: this is all about making them obsolete and redundant. Without either the features to show for it or the speed, their raison d'etre will keep diminishing until it really no longer has a legup over free opensource alternatives.

Confession: I have never fully finished a Zelda game. I've probably started playing each game more than once but never played one start to finish.
Ocarina of Time, for instance, I played back in the day I think all the way to the water temple. (Or was it gerudo valley? Whatever comes last) and even finished the boss there but I never really finished it. A friend of mine had a save file where you could just walk up to Ganondorf and kill him so I "finished" that way but I missed stuff in the middle. Majoras Mask much the same deal, Having to repeat stuff with the time rewind just took the wind out for me eventually and I stopped playing before beating the final boss. (I did however love the shit out of the whole mask business). Wind Waker I've just never played Period and Twilight Princess I've started twice but my god the start is so boring, the furry aspect is so annoying and again the game is very repetitive. Last year I've set out to finish it but my HD with the save died so it's fucked now. Past that I don't think you can properly emulate now so those are out too.

This hasn't stopped me from proclaiming OoT as one of my favourite games, many times.

I think I've only ever finished Link's Awakening. It's a great game. Would recommend. I went pretty far in many other Zelda games but I always get bored towards the end.

>>135314901

Yeah, with proper semi-transparency this would look mostly accurate.

>>135315085
So go play them. I played through all the main Zelda games up to TP a couple years ago (excluding LoZ2 though, fuck that), they all emulate well enough.

>>135315335
Well, mostly the fact that I know most of the games by Hand. the Temples, the Items, the characters, the boss fights I've actually played them a whole lot. I just never "really" finished the game. For me playing OoT again right now to finish what I missed would be like sitting trough a 25+ Hour movie AGAIN to catch up on the one hour I missed.

>>135315617
I don't even think it's boredom so much as the fact that I just start doing other stuff eventually and forget about it.

>>135316398
Well. top speedrunners manage about 4:20 to 5hour runs to complete it. But they're speed runners, Optimized routs, jumping everywhere instead of walking, skipping pretty much every fight that isn't necessary and so on. That's hardly playing the game, is it? Seeing how I've already know most of the game I think I would beat it faster than the average joe but likely not even at half the SRspeed.

What is he even talking about? Some puzzles are a bit annoying but they're all perfectly doable without a guide. I mean, most of us were teens when we finished the game, it's really not rocket science. I don't remember ganon to be that hard to defeat either, as far as final bosses go.

>>135317023
>top speedrunners manage about 4:20 to 5hour runs to complete it

Yeah... in 100% runs maybe. Any% is down to like 15 minutes. Pretty much none of the gameplay remains intact.

>>135317984
byuu faced OoT when he had become a grumpy old man, far removed from the youthful age when he or anyone would tolerate more frustration in a game and still enjoy it because of naive exuberance.

>>135317984
His excuse is that it was due to the Wii controller being way more sensitive than the N64 controller, so precise control of the light arrow is much harder than it would have been on real hardware. Or something like that.

>>135318251

You're talking about the glitch runs where they warp to the last boss at the very beginning of the game? Because I'm not sure that's the best way to experience the game...

>>135318251
All dungeon runs, i.e. being forced to play most of the game somewhat normally.

why doesn't retroarch support saving with reicast?

its like one of the first things that should be implemented honestly

>>135318547
Even then that's more down to like 2 and a half hours IIRC. This was before the really huge gamebreaking glitches were discovered.

>>135318785

You go play Wind Waker immediately, young man.

>>135319682
You are just completely off mark there honestly.

I'd like to emphasize this: we are not just porting a bunch of emulators and calling it quits there. These are not by any stretch of the imagination 'lazy ports'. If anything an insane amount of time and effort gets put into the cores to make sure they have as many niceties as possible, and yes we do still regression test against 'upstream' or whatever you call it. But let it be known, we are not lazily porting here and we don't just break functionality, that is a complete falsehood and frankly it gets annoying hearing this falsehood being regurgitated since it really belittles what we are doing here.

We are not like OpenEmu who just refrains from making any changes, we really do go the extra mile to make sure that things which should be in the upstream emulator but which aren't being done because the author doesn't want it or disagrees with it or wants to pursue accuracy, yadda yadda, that such stuff gets incorporated in the libretro port anyway because it would be foolhardy just to close the doors on such things. A great example for instance is resolution and graphical enhancements in Mednafen PSX, we could have just stayed with 'upstream' and just sticked with native resolution forever but as you see a fair amount of users just will plain dismiss using it if the graphics are going to be looking like that in their native form. For Reicast once again we went the extra mile and made sure a bunch of stuff worked that wasn't working correctly in the standalone/upstream version. And also enabling a bunch of graphics features that were purposefully disabled for slightly weird reasons which honestly never made sense to me.

>>135356883
It looks and plays more like a NES game than Capcom's license platformers, but at least you have precise controls with challenging jumps as the main ingredient. That already puts it fairly high up in the ranks of "SNES platformers that nobody care about".

I watched the whole SNES video that was linked in the previous thread showcasing all the games for the system released in the West while taking notes of every game that looked interesting and/or 'shit' in the right kind of way (kusoge appreciation squad member reporting in) and got a fair amount out of it. Will most likely be dropping by with screenshots from my journey for a while.

Would also appreciate a video link for SFC releases if anyone happens to have that.

the art is good, the gameplay is decent. it's just like they had no inclination to animate the characters and the game itself feels like a template.

So, I'm using Retroarch and some ground textures dissapear near the bottom of the screen when I walk over them. As this is pretty early I'm not sure if any other Textures partly dissapear. Anyone know how to fix this?

Are you using Glide64? If so, mess with with the Glide Polygon Offset setting in Core Options. Change it little by little until it completely goes away.

>>135363839
It's set on "auto" but I think it is Glide64. Is that the best option or should I try a different one?
also fiddle with offset factor or offset units?

>>135363839
I think it was a problem with the resolution. I had it set to 1920x1440 which definitely improved the visual quality, but messed with said textures. I toned it down to the default 640x480 which kinda sucks but doesn't produce the problem.

Another side problem was that on the changed resolution, the RetroArch "home" screen would turn EVERYTHING GIANT AND FOCUSED OUTSIDE MY MONITOR for some reason. Rendering it unusable

>>135365132
Try setting it to 1280x960 or 2560x1920

You should probably restart RA entirely after changing resolutions to avoid issues.

>>135367768
Yeah it does say (restart) after it so I did. But any resolution above said 640x480 produces this bug where the Retro Arch game menu just gets enormously big (the windowed version stretches along multiple screens and gets cut off everywhere, If I focus it in one screen the game is centered perfectly and all, but but the Retroarch menu still acts like I'm zoomed in into one specific part of the menu,) I actually had to to reverse the change by memory (going four down, Hit B, going 6 down, hit left 4 times.. so on)

>>135368249
Oh, change settings>video>window scale to x1

Also, you can manually edit, or even just delete, retroarch-core-options.cfg if you have the problem in the future.

>>135368475
That would Help I guess, but it makes the whole text unreadable small when no game is loaded.

>>135368617
Well you could always just use fullscreen.

>>135368797
hmm.. I think I'm alright for now with the native resolution. It's not too terrible... well it is but I can work with it.
Not using true fullscreen because I do tab a lot, and that is annoying in fullscreen. Also tends to crash the Steam overlay which I need for my controller config. But thank you so much for all the suggestions.

>>135369198
RA doesn't have any trouble with alt-tab, I don't know about Steam though.

Have you tried it? It might work fine.

>>135369304
It's less about RA itself not like tabing it's fullscreen programs in general are annoying as fuck when you repeatedly get in and out. I usually like to run everything in Borderless window mode.
The Steam overlay itself seems prone to crashing on RA. Fuck me it's 9:34 in the morning where I live, I'm gonna worry tomorrow about this.

>>135369751
RA's fullscreen is basically borderless fullscreen, and even has an option to actually to borderless fullscreen.

>>135370182

Looks like you are using the Gamecube ROM.

The ground decal fix for roads is applied on a per-ROM basis based on CRC and/or name. Possibly it is not yet applied for that ROM.

The bad side of emulation is that it kinda discourages development of engine reimplementations.
Imagine playing some of the popular 5th gen games on FOSS modern cross-platform engines, with no polygon jitter, in 60fps, in actual Widescreen (no hacks) with custom aspect ratios?

>>135379654

Almost certain the source code for these games are long gone. So that means creating new engines, and then rebuilding the games. That's do-able but time consuming. It's just easier and faster to make an emulator and then use that to port all the games from that console.

But I hear ya. I'd love to see Silent Hill and other PS1 3D games get proper engine ports. But it's not happening.

>>135378292

And then he monetizes them and you don't get to see any source (like with the Turok and Powerslave/Strife re-releases).

So greed wins out over any kind of 'FOSS' aspirational intent. Might as well emulate then and cut out the entrepreneurial middlemen who want to make money off stuff they did not write or create.

So we are at the real problem of low resolution 2D games. They just don't scale well to HD LCD screens.

I would recommend getting a CRT Monitor, set it to 640x480, and using the PC version. I recently played RE2 PC version like this and it was gorgeous.

Otherwize, try a CRT shader and Retroarch.

>>135384437

FF7 on my ePSXe has some graphic bugs...

Step 1. Don't use epsxe.
Step 2. Use something else.

>>135384507

I'd recommend the mednafen core in RA at 2x internal res with some nice shader to make the pre-rendered backgrounds less pixelated. I think it's as good the PSX version is ever going to look.

If you really want HD play the PC port instead.

>>135385421

The characters and combat sequence still are fully 3D and unlike ePSXe's GL renderer you won't have the affine texture mapping and lack of subpixel precision.

So I stand by my advice, if you want to run the game at high definition use the PC port, if you want to emulate the PSX version stick at 1 or 2x and use a nice shader.

Why should I feel the need to play by your arbitrary rules? Many PSX games play much better with the two analog sticks than with digital, even though they technically support both. Many 3D platformers are a pain without the sticks.

This is at 8x with widescreen hack. When the capture software is not running I get about ~70fps (GeForce GT 560M) but SP identified a bottleneck in my renderer, hopefully I should be able to optimize it more.

There's nowhere left to go to now that bsnes is completely cycle accurate, aside from writing a cycle-accurate GB/C emulator for SGB support (which he can't do), or implementing Data Pack emulation (which he can't do), so this is just another attempt for him to remain relevant for a little bit longer.

Are you using legally purchased emulators?

Do you guys know of any gamepads with buttons similar to the psvita. For some reason I really like those clicky little buttons, so I'd like to get something similar for my pc.

>>135418403

Yeah, the software renderer is still here. It's convenient when the game attempts to read data back from the GPU, I can just use the software version instead of having to fetch data from OpenGl's textures.

>>135419063
So he included a virus with the emulator?

>>135419162
You can use the PSP as a USB controller through homebrew, and their buttons are quite similar.

Don't quote me on this, but as long as you can run PSP homebrew on your Vita, there shouldn't be anything stopping you from running that PSP homebrew and using the Vita as a controller.

Is it a noticeable performance impact?
Is it gonna stay?
Honestly, that makes sense, kinda like it simplifies some of the shit that seems to make N64 a bitch to deal with.

>>135419494

SP got ~20fps more disabling most of it (the triangle rasterizer in particular).

I don't know if it's going to stay in the long run, I don't plan to implement a software renderer in rustation so I'll need to implement everything in GL anyway, so it should be possible to port that code to mednafen as well.

I grew up in the NES/SNES era and I've never played an Atari 2600 game.

Why bother when 3rd and 4th gen games were objectively better in every way. And if you want to play late 70s or early 80s game, you should just emulate the arcade originals in MAME anyway since 95% of the Atari 2600 library was inferior home ports of arcade games.

What is Ishiiruka-Dolphin? A special version of Dolphin for those who have an AMD gpu?

>>135420445
Please don't feed the trolls. It's bad enough that we lost mudlord and kept Mooch.

>>135420565
Ishiiruka is a fork of Dolphin that has it's own graphical enhancements, and extra work done on the DX9 and DX11 renderers to give a speed boost. Since most of Dolphin's code cleanups since Rachel's death have been "accuracy for the sake of accuracy, even if it costs a ton of system resources but isn't noticeable", there's really no reason to use mainline Dolphin unless you want the OpenGL renderer, or your game doesn't work in Ishiiruka for some reason.

What ever happened to his bzsnes port anyway?

I've still got a Win64 build of the libretro port. I'll cherish it until the day I die.

Might be for the better.

To people complaining about others calling RA a "product," it's weird but people have that mindset. For example, crack installers will say things like "Installer wizard is installing the product." as if it is a legitimate product

>>135427393
What wizard?

Why wouldn't they just shut down their PC rather than play his game?

trying to play ff12 in 1080p in pcsx2 and all the cut scenes have a black screen in front of them.
Apparently people play this game in 1080p but the only way to fix it from what I've tried is to run it at native reso.
any ideas?

>>135428743
Run it at native resolution

There's no way you're this retarded

>>135428807
but it's fuzzy D:

>>135428743
If it's just FMVs, use the gamefix that switches to software rendering for FMVs. If it's in game cutscenes, then you're doing something wrong.

You're also using a strange emulator version because I've never had that happen and I fire up FF12 with every build I've tried for years.

>>135408804
Then contribute a dat for Atari 2600

>>135431952
its 1.4.0

>>135432356
And at no point did you decide to update?!?

So guys I'm trying to figure out if I wanted to play Mario & Luigi superstar saga with two controllers like you can if you use the Gamecube GBA adapter, could I just do it though VBA-M or would I need to use dolphin and some Gamecube controllers?

I can assure you this was fixed before 1.4 if it was ever a problem. That guy just changed his settings to something weird and fucked it up
