Doom (Playstation)

I'm playing the recreation for GZ Doom and switching back to the original to compare.

It's a decent enough replication and runs at full speed. It's not that exact. No dithering for one. Some of the lighting is off. Some rooms are pitch black, where as you could see much more in the Playstation version.

Nothing to Talk About General

What Mega Man game would you recommend to someone who hadn't played any of them before?

>>137389163

What's wrong with PlayStation?

>>137390739

2, 3, 9 are the best ones. You can play them in that order if you want to.

So, going to emulate Katamari Damacy.

I rarely emulate PS2 stuff, the only other thing I've emulated is Dragon Quest VIII so I'm not up to speed on PCSX2.
Should I use the stable 1.4.0 release build, or find a recent GIT/SVN compile?
Seems like the 1.4.0 build is only a few months old but it could already be lacking important fixes or features.

>>137401685
MMX is legitimately the best designed game in the entire Mega Man franchise.

>The later X games are not so good.
later as in? I liked X 1-6. Never played 7 or above.

>>137405975
I really liked X1, liked X2 and X3 a little less but still enjoyed them quite a bit, and then X4 through X6 just felt... ugh. Don't know why.

X7 is universally garbage and X8 is interesting but not as fun as I wanted it to be.

30fps.
>without engineering a specific hack for the game.
Even that wouldn't work, main 3D zelda games are all tailored around 30fps (animations, specialFX) so making a hack would still break things unless you remade specific assets.

if im emulating persona 4 on pcsx2 is there anyway to get japanese audio?

Is it just me, or the latest builds of PPSSPP on Android are unstable as fuck?

Definite speed improvements, (can go from frameskip 2 on stubborn PSP games to frameskip 1 now, it's that much faster), but I'm getting weird shit like corrupted text, and the program being both upside down and mirrored.
I have to keep tabbing in and out on my device to get it stable for a while.

X4 is when the series starts to get really bad.

MM8 and MMX4 are coincidently when Inafune took over as overall producer for Mega Man.

>>137415923

Pretty gimmicky but a clever idea. It's always clever to mess with 8bit console emulators, you have so much power to spare that you can just do the most ridiculous things.

I hope it'll be true of the PSX/N64 one of these days, so much potential for messing with the games.

>>137416209
>I hope it'll be true of the PSX/N64 one of these days, so much potential for messing with the games.
I mean with a decent computer you could easily do a 3x3 with PS1 games even with mednafen, even a 5x5 with some luck and no improvements over the hardware.

>>137416990

It was more of a general observation. With NES or GameBoy you don't have to worry about performance at all, you can write everything in Ruby or Javascript, add ridiculous hacks everywhere, not optimize anything and it'll probably still run at full speed.

With the PSX you have to be a little more careful than that, if you start messing with the CPU or GTE it's very easy to drop to sub-10fps if you're not careful. In turns it means that the emulators are more optimized and less straightforward to hack into. That makes it more difficult to prototype "crazy ideas" quickly.

Doesn't look like a dithering pattern. Maybe it flickers very fast in motion and effectively looks semi-transparent?

Look at the text box in: >>137418394. It is clear blue. They used a dithering pattern which when viewed via composite produces a clear blue text box instead of a lined one. I'm curious why that's done on the Super Famicom as that system should be able to produce such blue text lines.

>>137421407

Not sure what you're talking about, I can clearly see the lines in the webm as well, on the part where it overlaps the room.

That's nearest for comparison.

>>137423004
It really depends on the game, and the implementation as well.

The biggest problem is that on some games, it creates visible seams even on terrain. You can actually see it on that Tekken shot.

>>137423356

Yeah that's because it doesn't filter correctly across the edges of the polygons. It's pretty difficult to fix though, you'd need to figure out which polygons are supposed to tile together and use that in the filter. Seems complicated.

Does any renderer manage to improve that somehow?

>>137423675
Not that I've seen. Only thing I know that Pete's plugins do pretty well is in differentiating sprites and other 2D elements from textures. That shot, for instance, has the UI elements filtered, which looks bad IMO. Pete's plugins can filter textures without filtering the UI. Pic related.

>>137424709

That's very interesting, that could be part of the explanation why Pete doesn't have those weird seams in the UI at increased IR. If he has good code for figuring out what's 2D he could always map those at 1x to avoid the rounding errors.

>>137424935
Well, the plugins have like 8 texture filtering modes. A few of them produce the exact same errors your shot has, while others do not. They also have something called "hi-res texture" filtering, which appears to upscale the textures for a certain factor, then filtering them afterwards, resulting in something of an in-between nearest and full bilinear.

>>137425239
I believe mode 4 is the one that produces the effect in >>137424709. Mode 2 filters everything, which produces errors in 2D elements, unless hi-res texture filtering is applied alongside it IIRC.

>>137424327
>That lanky

>>137425823

That's the most annoying thing in pete's plugin config. It's like he tried to make it noob-friendly by using non-technical terms but then nobody really knows what it does exactly.

Even for the internal resoltion IIRC, it's something like "native/increased/increased a lot" or something like that, it doesn't say what's the factor exactly.

>>137423004

If you add it, add N64 style 3 point filtering too.

Been on vacation for like two weeks so no progress on my side, SP told me he made some work on beetle though, I need to rebase my frankenmupen on top of it.

Then I need to finish semi-transparency support, that should be enough to have a few games playable decently. There will probably be a lot of breakage with other games still. I also hope the performance won't be too poor, I need to figure out how to profile GL code.

>>137427814

It's technically detailed, but it's also kinda clueless. MM's sprite is too big, making jumps harder. You have to often have a bit of your left toe to make jumps. MM looks like a doll. Everything is too child like.

Wow, you actually found a way.

This would really be impressive if it wasn't so horrible.

>>137457015
You may have a point.

Are there any new features he's added to libretro ports? Has he ever looked into the hardware that the cores are emulating?

>>137457507
Most of his added features have to do with A/V output as far as I know. He also combines pulls from similar emus or different builds of the same emulator. Stuff like frankenMupen. But he certainly doesn't work on the emulators in a direct way in the guts of the emulator.

>>137456327
Yes, if you can code, then you can help out. For instance, you can catch bugs just by reading the code. You could also help with code cleaning, or help with optimizations.

>>137465653

joke on you if you cant figure that out yourself, you are limited in thinking then.

>>137456327

You mean that you know how to code but doesn't have experience with emulators in particular?

It's not that hard to get into, you could dive into your emulator of choice and work your way out. Of course depending on the emulator it could be pretty overwhelming.

You could also read a tutorial on how to write a simple emulator like the GameBoy to get a feel for it.

One potentially interesting thing to do I've been meaning to try for a while but haven't found the time to do yet is to take the NES accuracy tests and figure out why nestopia fails some of them. Seems relatively straightforward at a glance but I'm sure there's some trickiness under the carpet.

>>137467954
Even the Gameboy can have a degree of complexity if you want to get past the basics. Its far from simple if you want to make a decent one.

Is there a Sega Saturn emulator available in Retroarch? SSF is just plain bad

RetroArch is showing "no parameters" where there should be shader parameters. How can I fix this?

Yeah because frustrating things totally held your attention for long enough when you were young, anyway AE controls are fine and you're just a casual shitter.

What shader are you using?

>>137505967
crt-geom. The parameters worked before but now they don't appear.
I switched to crt-hyllian in the meantime, I just wanted to remove the curvature and smooth corners.

Do I have to do anything else other than put the cheat in and enable cheats in the config menu

Can anyone help me with this?

I want to use two separate bluetooth dongles, one for my Wii Remote and one for my DS3 controller via SCP. The issue is that, whenever I install the DS3 drivers and THEN insert the dongle I want to use my Wii Remote with, it gets overwritten with the DS3 settings as well, even when I already had it working with my Wii Remote before.

When I install the DS3 drivers, I only keep the dongle I want to use SCP with connected.

>>137425823
Hi-res filtering is interesting because you can use it together with texture upscalers like xbrz.

>>137524014

But surely the gamecube already supported texture filtering on the original hardware? The problem on the PSX is that the console didn't support it at all natively. If it did the devs would've had to be careful when texturing and tiling the polygons so that they could be filtered seamlessly.

Is RetroArch better than standalone emulators for Android?

Before I answer that question, you need to come to accept the fact that no matter what emulator or device you use, emulation on Android is shit, and always will be shit.

>>137564293
Developers were generally very lazy when it came to making PAL-games. So instead of optimizing the games for 50hz, they just made it run slower (about 17% slower). Things end up looking a lot less smooth this way.

RPGs on SNES can be a little slow as is, so yes, speeding the game up to its intended level is a pretty huge fix, to me at least. For reference, if it takes 15 hours to beat with the PAL version, making it run 20% faster (which is what increasing it to run at 60 fps should do) would allow you to beat it in 12 hours instead, saving you 3 hours of... nothing, really.

>>137372001

>>137603412
>Does anyone know about the wii hardware limits. Or at least how dolphin emulates that.
I don't think Dolphin emulates the hardware limits, since if your computer is beefy enough, you can run Yabause-Wii and WiiSX at full speed.

>>137604747
well Im talking about ram specifically here.

>>137605569

Emulators always emulate the exact amount of RAM available on the original hardware. No more, no less.

I could be possible to implement more RAM than the original hardware allowed but since games don't expect to have more RAM available there won't be much of a point to it. It might break some games however.

What you can do is increase the cache sizes and things like that, which might work as an internal overclock of sorts. You'll probably still be better off overclocking the CPU instead.

Well, some emulators have the option to increase the amount of emulated RAM, to simulate dev systems.

DeSmuME can have doubled RAM.

And there's a build of Dolphin with more RAM, so you can emulate a prerelease build of Metroid Prime.

>You can download more ram

>>137609159

I assumed the previous poster asked that wondering if they could run the games faster or better by increasing the amount of RAM available in the emulator.

But it makes sense to do it if the game is built specifically for a version of the console with more RAM.

Thats the thing. The wii has more ram than the gc. Its not two separate emulators and thats not how the wii runs gc games either. I believe its all part of one large memory and the game just chooses which to use.
>>137609159
What build of dolphin? Sounds interesting.

How do you change the input settings for bluemsx libretro?

>>137609968

Well the additional RAM would have to live somewhere in the address space. On the PSX for instance there only are 2MB of RAM but it's mirrored 4 times over the first 8MB. Some games actually expect that and access it over several mirrors, but if you put more RAM here the mirror won't work and the game will break.

It's possible to put the additional RAM elsewhere, for instance in the parallel extension port (that's actually a hack you could do on the real hardware) but it won't do anything unless the game is modified to use this additional RAM, like some N64 games did with the expansion pak.

The remake made a small but important change. Rather than having one way to move, another to use an item, and another to choose your item, they combined choosing and using to the same button and allowed you to choose the direction by moving which is a fuck ton more intuitive and easy to play.

>I have a lifetime subscription to Emumovies

Are people really paying money for this shit?

>>137637240
How exactly does one get a lifetime subscription for free?

>>137636385
He seems mad. Mad about emumovies

>>137636385
Hes the ass behind the big blue frontend. Every time he makes a new account its always to rant about something.

100% they did. Most inaccuracies are usually very jarring.

They might not have noticed something like a shadow missing from underneath a character but sound and graphics would be easily noticeable by even the dumbest of faggots.

Unless it made insane progress in two month it's still very much a WIP so I stand by my statement but if if an emulator can undick DC emulation it's probably this one.

>PC can handle PSP emulation almost perfectly with very little to no lag.

>DS Emulation lags like a motherfucker even on the lowest settings.

Is the emulator just shit? Or is the DS somehow more powerful? It's the double screens isn't it?

PPSSPP is an HLE emulator while Desmume is LLE

The architecture of the PSP is very simple compared to the DS architecture.

Nevertheless Desmume shouldn't run into many performance problems unless your PC is a toaster.

It can run Garry's mod and by transit half life 2.

So I assume it is a toaster?

Totally meaningless metric.

This general is filled with manchildren. You fucks are being dragged kicking and screaming into adulthood, you can't let go of the past. NO OTHER MEDIUM intentionally obscures and adds defects and hardware limitations to their media. I'm half expecting one of you fucks to come up with a CRT buzz simulator, the desperate infantilization is that bad.

People don't download Pulp Fiction in 240p VHS quality and add tracking scan lines and static. Why? Because when Jules says "I want you to go in my bag, and find my wallet. It's the one that says Bad Motherfucker." I WANT TO SEE THE STITCHING THAT SAYS BAD MOTHERFUCKER. I download that shit in 1080p bluray quality with not a god damn defect in sight. Grow the fuck up already and stop jerking off over simulated curved screens.

>>137644354
So yes.

Okay.

>>137644298
Congratulations on your PC being able to run Half-Life 2! I was also very excited when I learned my PS2 from 16 fucking years ago could also do it

Protip: most video games weren't distributed on VHS tape

You obviously don't know me very well

FUCKING CASUALS GET OUT

Either this is already pasta or you have made plans to copy it over into every new thread from now, I know, but there's no comparison.

Old 2D game visuals were drawn in whatever resolution the system targeted. You can't go download it in "1080p bluray quality", because what is there is all that is.

Even in the case of movies and TV shows, DVDs or worse is all that's available for lots of media, and I can assure you absolutely no one would want to or ever do watch those blown up with nearest neighbor scaling on modern displays. These video games were created in even lower resolutions than SDTV productions, is it really so weird that enthusiasts will be interested in better methods than bilinear filtering to make them scale better on modern displays?

Where can I download Ocarina of Time in 1080p bluray quality?

And just throwing it out there, the other day I saw Friends was on Netflix, so I decided to watch one of my favourite episodes. It's the one where Joey ends up on the $100,000 Pyramid. Everything started out great because I had no idea the show was filmed by such high quality cameras that it could be mastered in 1080p like Seinfeld was.

Then Joey ended up on the Pyramid show, and the format switched to 4:3 and had the shittiest NTSC filter over the picture I've ever seen in my life. I thought it was neat how they did that because there's no way a shitty gameshow from the late 90's/early 00's would be filmed with a 16:9 HD capable camera.

Then the rest of the scene shot in the studio was filmed with that camera and it didn't make sense, because they went to commercial break, and it clearly showed Joey talking to the other people who would appear on the gameshow at various different camera angles during this down time.

And it's not like they filmed on an already existing set with lower quality cameras, because every scene after that in the studio was filmed with the 16:9 HD camera, aside from when Joey and his partners are answering questions.

So fuck you and your bad copypasta.

What do rings mean on some redump games?
