Can someone tell me how to get PJ64's audio to not stutter every 3 seconds?
Increasing buffer seemed to make it worse.

>>146597250

1. insert tampon in asshole

2. pray

>>146597250
Why are you using Azimer's 0.40 beta? That's an awful plugin. Even Jabo's should be better.

>>146597539

jabo's should require fewer tampons, anyway

>>146597539
It seemed to be the only one that would work. The wiki recommended it too. Maybe I'll just get the accuracy plugins. I tried using a newer Azimer's but that just crashes.

>>146597731

don't forget the maxipads

Any hints on emulating Metroid Prime for the first time? When does the shader cache get built up well enough to where the stuttering will finally cease?

>>146597949
Would you stop.

>>146597250
Why do people have audio stuttering so often but I never do?

>>146598147

no :^D

>>146597731
>It seemed to be the only one that would work. The wiki recommended it too. Maybe I'll just get the accuracy plugins. I tried using a newer Azimer's but that just crashes.
The problem is that you have the HLE checkbox enabled for audio. Jabo's audio is LLE only. It's not a perfect plugin, but it's vastly superior to azimer's.

>>146598078
Until you've seen the entire game it won't stop. Switch to Ishiiruka for asynch. I wish it had some default shader that it used instead of invisibility while things load though. I'll take ugly unlit models over nothing.

>>146598260
Alright. Until now I've been using Mupen64 through retroarch which seemed a lot easier but I'm hoping this will be more compatible with all them games.

>>146598389

Are the devs making any attempt to fix this?

>>146598350

>>146598517
Then who gets the glory of victory if no human is in there?

>>146598545
AMD isn't that slow and they still have audio stutters

>>146598492
Ubershaders and multi-threaded generation.

>>146598608
The team that put together and maintain it? They are the ones doing everything that matters to drag racing.

>>146598631

Explain, please.

>>146598608
B-but muh classic Nvidia housefire and AMD no drivers.

>Star Ocean 2 PSP
>OpenGL causes crashes
>Direct3D prevents speed toggle

Guess I'm playing the PS1 version then.

>>146598462
Yup. PJ64 is more compatible. It also has better performance too. GOod news is that it's going to keep improving!

>>146598873
>Ubershaders
Make large general purpose shaders that covers most of what games use, so there's no need to generate shaders.
>Multi-threaded generation
Shader generation stutters because it takes longer than a frame to generate, so the rest of the emulator has to wait till it's done. This would make the generation happen faster by offloading the generation to multiple threads (or cores), making stuttering happen less.

N64 emulation, truly the best!

>>146601263
>intentionally going out of your way to try and make N64 emulation look bad
Nice attempt :) .

Has anyone ever gotten proper dumps from Romulation? I've tried a number of them, and they're all corrupted or something. Like, they're ostensibly scene releases, and the checksums should match but they don't.

>>146601612
Nom I've just been trying to set up PJ64 off and on all day and I can't find a mix of plugins that works.

>>146601685

Then I should think it's clear what's going on.

>>146601710
Honestly I would just say to try out the PJ64 build at 64dd.org which has a few plugins included and see if it works too. Who knows if EmuCR fucked up.

>>146602017
I'm betting he ran x64 version of PJ64. Maybe zilmar should make the interpreter default for x64..

>>146602017
Well the main problem is that sometimes I will change nothing and then it'll crash on launching the same game.

>>146602109
I've got x86 now. i started with x64 and it didn't work. x86 was working at one point but now doesn't want to. Plugins are bunk.

>>146601958
I don't know. It could be my connection, but it's hard to believe the download would fuck up in exactly the same way twice in a row.

>PCSX2 will never not be shit in your lifetime

>>146602663
Made it earlier this year. It's a pretty good rig. I just don't think i can get the plugins right. I tried the ones the wiki suggests but they don't seem to mesh well.
Tell me which RSP I should be using and that might fix everything.

>>146602663
I doubt it's old, considering it looks like win 8 or win 10.

>>146602394

Bad dumps. Doubt it's your connection, unless you live in a shithole.

Really, "scene releases" are last-resort. No-Intro and Redump should be your two primary sources.

>>146602817
To be honest RSP plugins really don't matter here. It's just the graphics here. I'm wondering if you use Intel GPUs.

and this is why pj64 is still a joke compared to m64.

not having a native 64bit binary today means your project is dead and your users cant even use your program.

>>146602917
And how about you shut up? Not having 64bit doesn't mean shit about the quality of emulation.

>>146602889
Nope. Geforce 970.
Most of the time it crashes. The static interpreter which I think is Hatcat's will actually launch. I'm just using the version of glide that came with it at the moment.

>>146602917
It means nothing when 32bit m64p runs faster

>>146602817
>Tell me which RSP I should be using and that might fix everything.
Always use PJ64's RSP. No real reason to use another. Unless maybe you want to use a HLE RSP if you want HLE gfx + HLE audio.

>>146603058
Wait what. I guess Project64 really has a problem with Windows 8/10. Which is kind of weird.
Try some compatibility settings?

>>146603031

OK, now you're full of shit. Everybody has moved on from 32-bit.

EVERYBODY.

>>146603116
It came with 3 different ones and none of them are working.
I'm seriously tempted to say "fuck it" and just hope mupen gets better at some point. It's not like I'll actually be playing these games anyway.

>>146603160
Not making a difference.

>>146603325

Buying a real N64 is easier than dealing with N64 emulation.

I have a GTX0 and can still emulate N64 better than most people with real GPUs

>>146603427
I have one but I wouldn't be able to get the carts for all the games I want to play.

>>146603198
Sorry if I'm saying the truth lol. As far as I know we are still using 32-bit binaries of many emulators, not just Project64, so your point is really moot.

>>146603325
Oh, RSP != RDP.
RSP is more like something that does both graphics and audio. Graphics = RDP.

It's weird though because Glide64 for PJ64 is the one that's the most compatible. I don't know why this happens, you're a special case. Maybe the drivers are fucked up or something, I don't know.

>>146603515
Flashcart

>>146603515

With the advent of the internet and the relatively small size of the N64 library, I doubt that.

>>146603515
Everdrive-64

>>146603763
>>146603821

Hell, that too. As far as I know the Everdrive 3.0 now comes with 100% compatibility bog standard.

>It came with 3 different ones and none of them are working.
>I'm seriously tempted to say "fuck it" and just hope mupen gets better at some point. It's not like I'll actually be playing these games anyway.
Well, if mupen already plays the games you care about, at a satisfactory level,, then you're fine to use that. Your problem appears to be unique. Did you try getting a build from the site luigi suggested?

>>146603681
Wouldn't 64 bit help N64 a little for more accurate renderers by giving some speed ups?

We're good now. I managed to get hatcat working. Should all be good as long as I never touch the settings again.
Does the "Increase emulation speed" actually work? Is it like turbo in other emulators?

>>146603681

>Sorry if I'm saying the truth lol. As far as I know we are still using 32-bit binaries of many emulators, not just Project64, so your point is really moot.

>>146604013
I don't know if the RDP really uses 64-bit?
I know the CPU is 64-bit but then not much games are really using it... I'm not really good at N64 so I cannot say this much.

>>146604103
ePSXe, SSF, Project64 lol
Those aren't really on life support.

>>146604218
Well games doesn't use the 64-bit that much so it's not a big deal.

Worse than "when" posters.

>>146604690
>Well games doesn't use the 64-bit that much so it's not a big deal.
So 64 bit was basically a marketing gimmick?

>>146604690
Okay nevermind about SSF, thought it was still kinda alive. But anyway try to tell people are not using Nestopia or FCE Ultra to emulate NES games. Those are still 32-bit, or how people are using 32-bit bins of PCSX2 on the stable releases. (I'm not sure if it has a 64-bit binary.)

>>146604690

ePSXe and Project64 are both defunct. SSF I will give you.

>>146605225
It was truly 64-bit but games are still programmed like it's 32-bit because they don't need much more precision than that. Maybe some are really using the 64-bit capabilities but then it might be nothing to emulate even on a 32-bit CPU.

>>146605238
>(I'm not sure if it has a 64-bit binary.)
It doesn't. That's part of why it's a failure.

>>146605348
Dude you just lost your credibility (it's not like you had any though).
ePSXe has a new release like yesterday and Project64's development is still active, so lol

I still maintain that 64-bit is not always needed and that you are dumb.

>>146605225

Yes.

>>146605367

They all act as if it were a 32-bit machine due to retarded databus width issues typical of Nintedo decision-making at the time.

>>146605583
He lost his credibility as soon as he praised mupen for having x64. The x64 dynarec is slower.

>>146605583

No, ePSXe is not active. ePSXe is _milked_. Not the same thing.

Project64 has been dead for years, and until someone can show me more than just random fucking about with the codebase (to little real effect), I still consider it discontinued.

I don't know why Gaben bothered to port HL to Dreamcast, but I assume it will be lost and not preserved as all Dreamcast games

>>146606362

>>146605883
>Project64 has been dead for years, and until someone can show me more than just random fucking about with the codebase (to little real effect), I still consider it discontinued.
So what N64 emulator isn't dead then?

>>146606897

No, in this instance, Luigiblood is right: provided all the relevant data is there in those disc images, they're preserved. Whether they can be read flawlessly is irrelevant.

>>146607184

As far as I can tell, none of them. No one with the expertise necessary is willing to do shit, people willing to do shit don't have the expertise, and it's all moot anyway because there is no consumer hardware powerful enough to run any particularly accurate resulting emulator.

Blame stagnating CPU power and lack of easy multi-threading solutions. All those extra cores don't mean dick-diddle-shit if emulation is only feasible single-core due to timing issues.

>>146607707
What game are you having trouble run at full speed?

I hope you hold other systems to high standards as well.

>>146608175

I always hold emulators to high standards. It's why until mednafen-PSX I refused to touch 3D emulation with a 10-foot pole.

>>146608353
>It's why until mednafen-PSX I refused to touch 3D emulation with a 10-foot pole.
Angrylion has less known bugs than mednafen.. The N64 is probably more resource intensive than PS1 which would explain why mednafen can get away with being sub-optimal.

>>146607262

Nah. The game is information. Information that is accurately recorded is by definition not lost. Your ability to read that information does not affect that.

>>146608696

Angrylion is only part of an N64 emulator. mednafen-PSX is an entire PSX emulator.

>>146605639
The hardware was designed by SGI though.

>>146605639
>They all act as if it were a 32-bit machine
Some games use 64bit instructions..

PJ64 has speed unlocking, this is good. Unfortunately I can't seem to return the speed to normal once I've unlocked it.

What about any human's ability?

>>146614914
>Not being to emulate it in your mind

>>146614914
Do you think preservation just concerns the game itself?

What about released materials like promotional footage/ads, collectables, community discussion which can also be lost with time?

>No one with the expertise necessary is willing to do shit, people willing to do shit don't have the expertise
This is untrue. The author of CEN64 is aiming to achieve high accuracy and reasonable system requirements.

>Which ones?
Some off the top of my head are Perfect Dark, Killer Instinct, World Driver Championship, Zelda, Goldeneye, likely Turok, Paper Mario, Star Wars Rogue Squadron, Indiana Jones, Battle For Naboo, etc.

But most games seem to just use 32bit code. I think most games also do not use TLB.

>>146623972
PJ64 has 32bit mode, and heaps of games subtly break with it. Everything from sound distortion to physics issues. N64 games that use 64 bit are commonly sports games, racing games, and Disney platformers, such as A Bug's Life.

I got the newest git pcsx2, trying to play Gran Turismo 4. In the distance the rims are full of garbage but that's a minor problem. The major problem is, steering simply doesn't work ingame. Left sticks works perfectly in the menu, in options steering is set to left stick, but when I'm in control of the car I can't steer. Any ideas?

>>146648354
Setup your controls again, both in PCSX2 and in GT4, start from a fresh save.

Also before you go farther in the game.

If you crash a the start of a race start it in SW mode then switch back after all camera movement are done and you have control of your vehicle, the crashes go away after you play the game for an extended period of time (1-2h).

Use the 1.4.0 stable OGL plugin if you want HW mode since the more recent ones have stuttering above native res, DX9-11 shouldn't have that particular problem but they have other.

You will always crash in licenses test if you use the rounding mode fixes to get rid of the sticky test everywhere else in the game.

>>146649932
Remember that you have to butcher most of the games to make them fit on a CD in the first place to do that, GDemu might have been a better example.

How do I prevent PCSX2 from ghosting effects on Okami? I'm on 1.5.0 june 20 2016 revision

Using OpenGL hardware and partial CRC Hack level, which allows the brush effect to give the original screen like effect of the game, but then I also get ghosting.

Sup guize,

I'm just getting into PSP emulating on my Android phone and I was wondering if there's like a recommendation list for PSP games to emulate.

>>146659952
Try some of the HW hacks. Wild arms might help I think. Worked for Soul Calibur 3 I think.
>>146660158
/v/ recommended games wiki is alright for ideas.

>>146659952
CRC hack to an higher level or half pixel offset hack.

>>146660157
>>146660319
those don't seem to work

>>146660783
higher level CRC hack also removes the screen effect of brush painting.

I tried switching to DX11 with the same partial CRC hack and seems better with less ghosting, but now some effects seem to have a big square around them. What's the best setup for renderer? OpenGL hardware, DX11 or DX9?

>>146660984
>What's the best setup for renderer?
OpenGL hardware

I'm pretty sure that this ghosting wasn't present last I checked, mind dropping your save somewhere so I can try on an older revision?

Any reason why I should play Okami on PS2 instead of the Wii?

>>146661892
The filter and lack of waggle control also the credit sequence is different, ideally you just wanna play the PS3 version.

Been living under a rock, has N64 and SNES emulation improved much over the years?
I'm still using PJ64 1.6 and get mixed responses about using newer versions of the emulator, what's up with that?
And god knows what version of SNES9X I have, it runs so well that I haven't bothered looking for updates. Thanks guys.

>>146662081
I remember seeing a picture that showed PCSX2 emulated vs PS3 and the PS3 HD version was supposedly worse or something.

>>146662432
The PS2 version has less slowdown but some cutscenes are prerendered instead of in engine.

>>146662403
N64 will never be good. I finally got PJ64 working last night though and played Banjo Kazooie with no issues.
For SNES, use bsnes I guess. Not sure how much better it has become over the years.

>>146662797
That's the issue I find with project 64, seems like they only bother getting a handful of the most popular games to run well while ignoring the rest, god forbid if you want to try and run something obscure.
>N64 will never be good
We'll get there one day, it will probably take another fucking decade, but we'll get there.

>>146662797
why not mupen64 plus?

>>146661786
If SW mode is to be believed ghosting is supposed to be there just not as heavy.

>>146663524
Software mode?

>>146663284
It's just a faff working out which plugins work best for which games. At least you can set per game plugin if relevant.
>>146663438
More games work in PJ64. I prefer frankenmupen's ease though.

>>146663786
Yeah, 99% of the time it looks like on console with minor exceptions (HUD in AC shadows in Jak), unfortunately it's a bit too slow to use effectivelly on Okami unless you have a very good computer (think gen3 i5)

You can switch with F9 for a quick comparison.

>>146663981
Yeah runs too slowly here. I'm searching for Okami ghosting PCSX2 and I'm not finding much info about this issue, weird.

>>146664868
Could be a post-process issue, PS2 used to do alot of weird shit to imitate postprocess effects like bloom and motionblur.
Set skipdraw to 2, if that doesn't work or has already been suggested, disregard this post.

>>146664969

>>146666086
Have you checked the PCSX2 wiki for confirmed working setups?

>>146666368
http://wiki.pcsx2.net/index.php/Okami

Someone with an i7 on PCSX2 1.2.1 claims to have the game running very well, looking better than the PS3 HD version, saying the game has zero glitches visual or audio ones. Says he used BIOS 2.0

>>146665617
As a general rule of thumb, if a game is having graphical issues the first two things I try are set to native resolution and set skipdraw to 2.
As far as Okami goes, check the wiki, check youtube, and bring it up every few days here in /emugen/, as there may already be someone who knows the fix but simply hasn't checked the thread yet.

>>146666649

Skipdraw gives me the same black blur issue that is shown here >>146665416 even at native resolution.

I can get zero ghosting if I make CRC hack full, however it removes the canvas effect of painting. It also changes how the game is supposed to look. I mean the wiki pics like the one I'm posting also seem to lack the original game's filter.

>>146667149
No, but you can try it I guess.

>>146667323

Does ghosting get worse as resolution goes up?

How's 2x?

>>146667323
You might have to just lose the filter then unfortunately.

>>146666649
Before 1.3.1/1.4 you were getting the game like it looks with CRC hack set to full with more recent versions, so there's that.

From what I've tried no way to eliminate the superfluous ghosting, only break things further

>>146664868

What kind of cpu do you have?

You can improve software perf with extra rendering threads.

They are delusional. There is no known reason to stick with 1.6. 2.3 is vastly superior.

>That's the issue I find with project 64, seems like they only bother getting a handful of the most popular games to run well while ignoring the rest, god forbid if you want to try and run something obscure.
Wrong. The people here whining about PJ64 haven't even bothered reporting issues on github. How do you expect the devs to fix it, if they never receive reports?

>>146671894
It's mostly due to the installer being malware I think.

Dynarecs are just more prone to errors. MarathonMan and his team are very talented people, so that's not going to be a significant problem.

Compared to the latest stable, are the nightlies of DeSMuME more light-weight? Or does it need more resources?

I will need to get hold of a WiiU game and two different cemu builds from two different people, to see if there is any watermarks left by the dev. Sometimes protections can have watermarks to say who has the license for that particular file, which helps when a file is leaked.

What fixes? No known bugs on the issue list, from what I can see.

If you are talking about optimizations, then CEN64 is a better source for most of the instructions.

>>146685665
I thought PJ64 had some recompiler bugs in its RSP, or did zilmar fix those? Would be cool though to run some unit tests to see if there is really any behavior problems.

Handheld emulators should have color correction options on as default. Their libretro versions should do the same.

They make a big difference. And 95% of people just use defaults. We shouldn't be giving people the impression that these games were technicolor nightmares.

You can give people the options since the GBA could be played on a variety of screens. These should be built into the core of the emulator for ease of use.

That's already there in the form of shaders though - which makes sense as color correction is post processing.

Shaders are not easy to use. Like Linux, you can do ANYTHING with them, but they're not user friendly. They really should be a bonus thing for turbo nerds who want advanced effects. Not something really basic. I myself had a bit of difficulty figuring out how to use a CRT shader and gba colors at the same time.

Core options are just so much easier to use.

The blurriness and ghosting thing are separate. Blurriness is inherent of the game and ghosting comes from something an aggressive CRC removes.

Have you actually been following the project closely? Or are you just believing whatever gossip you hear? I see all these people talk bad about CEN64, yet there are some parts in CEN64 that they could learn from and use, to improve their own N64 emulators / plugins. it's a real shame to see devs bashing certain projects while overlooking the parts that are done well. They miss out on progress as a result.

Take a look at this RSP code. It is much more efficient than any other implementation.
https://github.com/tj90241/cen64/blob/d905183b11ba5c9a1024311b208387c7373d141d/arch/x86_64/rsp/vsub.h

>You're just being willfully delusional.
I'm not delusional, I'm just optimistic. Even if they ultimately do not succeed in achieving their goal, the code will still be useful for other emulators too.

Is it true that byuu received donations for carts, boxart, etc. without ever releasing them publicly?

But some PS2 screenshots look more sharp than the ones in the pcsx2 wiki, like this one >>146667323 there's an odd blur to it that the original doesn't seem to have

Really liking NDS colors for GbA games. Gives desaturation without going over board. And it's a real world option that people could have used.

>>146709536

Yes.

how well does skyward sword play with a regular controller?

>>146710045
>Yes.
I'm triggered now.. Why aren't people going after him with pitch forks like the CEMU dev, exophase, zilmar, Gonetz, 3DNES dev, etc.? This is absolutely disgusting.

Can I import saves from other emulators on mobile retroarch? I'd like to play some Golden Sun on the go.

>>146711383
yes

>>146707178
>I'm scared to fuck something up
It's pretty much impossible to brick your laptop by installing an OS, just save all your important shit elsewhere

Any tips on how to transfer Golden Sun saves? I tried VBA Link, but it doesn't recognize the .sav file

>>146700862
No idea what that was so I googled "Ys on Nightmare". Were you having a giggle?
>>146700910
Not really into FPS

>>146709624
What's your point? We know the game isn't being emulated correctly.

>>146662432
I'd like to see this picture. PS3 version is fine.

I am now.

For real though, it's a nice action rpg.

>>146715430
that the blur is an emulation problem and not exactly "inherent to the game", follow the conversation

>>146717129
After trying it myself I'd say it's bullshit. Sure it runs, but you either sacrifice sharpness to get the art style paper thing effect the game has plus canvas effect when using the brush, or the other way around if you want to run on PCSX2. Someone here said Dolphin is better than PS3, but then wagglan.

>>146717621
Oh, sorry. I meant inherent to emulating the game.

What port should I play? The windows remakes? Or is the original always the to go one?

>>146717867
Well, you know what they say about opinions.

I had no problems with it, but I guess purists might to justify the general.

>>146708234
The VBA ones cuts off blacks pretty hard

Oh shit.

I didn't play any of the originals from 1 to 4. I'm now realizing this isn't the best series to recommend since some are unaccessible through emulation. The combat is pretty straightforward and it plays fast. Nightmare can be very punishing at times, but it can be fun. Soundtracks are also crisp.

Ys Chronicles for I and II. There's a PC version, but you can emulate it with PPSSPP.
Ys Oath in Felghana is the third one. PSP port had an English dub if you're into that. Other versions have no dub at all.
Ys Memories of Celceta is the forth one. This one is for Vita, so I don't know if you have access to it. This one is pretty good and doesn't follow the same formula as the others.
I haven't played Ys V as there is no translation.
Ys Ark of Napishtim is the sixth one. I don't remember the differences between the versions.
Ys VII is on PSP. This is where Celceta got its different style.
Ys Origin is only on the PC, I think.
Ys VIII fucking when?

>>146723105
Ah, I meant to say that I started with the remakes. I eventually played the originals, but I wouldn't really recommend them.

>>146719874
You mean the blacks are.. actually black?

>>146723105
Ys 6 is basically where the series becomes an action RPG that makes sense, isn't it? The ones before have some weird ass mechanics where you just run into enemies at off-centre angles to damage them.

>>146708234
VBA looks best. Tell me we have that coloration available on actual shaders outside of that garbage emulator.

>>146724047
Yeah. I and II are like that, it's simple as fuck, but it's addicting. II also introduces broken magic. III's remake, Felghana, uses VI's new engine and makes it really good. VII and VI's remake use the team system.

Is anyone trying to preserve the box art for every game ever made?

>>146725835
You can't play the box art. What would be the point?

>>146725835
Irrelevant, fuck preservation!

>>146726004
Being able to see the shit associated with the game too.

>>146725835
Apparently byuu did this for the entire SNES library, but he's never going to share it.

>>146725835
Surprisingly there are many people trying to do this, but they're not us.

>>146726239
What a dick

>>146724261

Yes, I was running the vba shader. It's in the handheld section.

>>146726239
So no, and it will die with him? I hope Byuu's never uttered the word "preservation" in a serious context or that would make him a tremendous fucking hypocrite.

>>146726270
I tend to see a few sites doing this but without any kind of comprehensive standards. Like you'll get some low res shitty image for one box art and a high res image for another, etc. It also tends to be only systems or games the author probably has interest in since tons are missing and some systems are just skipped or neglected.

He has, sadly. He even blamed SSF for the lack of progress in yabause...
