Mednafen SAT when?

HW renderer beta in Beetle PSX when?

>>147051059

What does SAT mean?

And the hw renderer has been in beetle for a while now.

Someone tell me how to get dolphin working with 4 VBAMs to play 4swords multiplayer.
Someone else tell me how to turn turbo off on PJ64 once I've turned it on.

>>147051194
>What does SAT mean?
Saturn.

>>147051194
>And the hw renderer has been in beetle for a while now.
The alpha is, I'm waiting for the next big improvement.

>>147051834

No progress lately, and with the vacations coming don't expect anything new in July either.

I've been trying to get rustation up to speed to improve the renderer there but even though I've made some progress I still have very poor compatibility. I'm still hoping for a big breakthrough.

>>147052773

No problem, take your time.

>I've been trying to get rustation up to speed to improve the renderer there but even though I've made some progress I still have very poor compatibility. I'm still hoping for a big breakthrough.
Wasn't the main problem for even just booting most games in rustation the lack of MDEC emulation?

>>147053569

No, I'm still not sure what the problem is. I seem to have a lot of timing issues, I improved the instruction timing significantly (I'm pretty close to mednafen now except in complicated corner cases) but it still doesn't seem to be good enough.

Debugging it takes time and is tedious. I've received a pocketstation so I'm playing with that for a change. Seems pretty trivial to emulate so far, but we'll see.

So I found a good deal on a Surface 3. But I know jack shit about computer hardware.

How good is this thing for emulators? Microshills say that it's great for gaming, but with 2GB of RAM I find that a little hard to believe.

>>147055250
Depends what you want to emulate. Probably won't handle PS2 or GC. Might be able to handle PS1 and N64.
http://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Computer_specs

>>147049872
Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but /khg/ was no help at all, so I figured here would be my best bet.

I'm trying to use Crazycat00's English patch for Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix ( http://crazycatz00.x10host.com/KH/kh2_patches.html/ ), and I'm following the instructions to the letter, however when I activate the patcher, and it creates the second "Patched" ISO, the second ISO is only a few megs, nowhere near the 3.5 gigs of the original ISO.

Does anyone know what's causing this, and if there's a way to prevent it?

>>147058901
Maybe the iso you have is a bad rip and doesn't match the MD5 for what the program thinks it should be?
Can you not just find a pre-patched iso?

>>147058996
The only Pre-patched one I can find is from ISOzone, which is a pretty suspect site. As for the original ISO, it's from Emuparadise, which I've generally had good luck with, and the ISO works without the patch just fine.

>>147059097
How does the patcher work? is it commandline or gui? Your link isn't working for me.

>>147059450
http://crazycatz00.x10host.com/KH/kh2_patches.html

But it's just a commandline, in case it still doesn't work. Put the patch, patcher, and ISO in the same folder, name the ISO "KH2FM.ISO", drag the patch onto the patcher, and it brings up the command line. Then just hit enter, and it runs. It's supposed to create a second ISO Title KH2FM.New.ISO, which it does, but said second ISO is only a few megs.

>>147055250
my friend has one and it's terrible for games. don't fall for it.

>>147059602
OK, so check the MD5 since it's saying in the guide that it won't work if there's a bit out of place.
Make sure that none of the names of any of the pathways (folders included) have any spaces in the names as that can throw off some commandline stuff.

>>147059960
Ah, looks like it's not the right MD5. Shit. And I don't know where else to get an ISO. Do you know any other reliable sites?

>>147060112
Check the emugen wiki under "Need Games?". Otherwise you could get that isozone one. I've never had problems from there.
Kickasstorrents tends to have alright game torrents too.

>>147060218
Thank you very much anon, I'll see what I can do.

>>147059097

Isozone is fine, unless you're one of those dumb cunts who still goes places without an adblocker enabled.

>>147055862
>>147059661
Good to know. I'll just be using it for artfaggotry then.

I have a Windows 10 and a GTX 1080, am I good? I heard DX12 is good for games so I upgraded but I don't know if that carries over to emulators. I don't know much about these things. If Win10 is bad for emu's, is there any way I can plug my desktop into my laptop (Windows 8) and channel the power of my card to my laptop? My laptop is an ACER model from around 2013.

>>147062792
Win10 is fine for emulation. Your graphics card matters less than your CPU but will allow you to take full advantage of hardware rendering modes in emulators.
DX12 is not currently a big deal for emulators but I'm sure that in time it will be used. It's just too new at the moment so nobody's worked much with it.

>>147063028
DirectX isn't relevant for emulation

>>147063325
Looks nicer with PCSX2 currently.
I think it has better performance on Dolphin as well, doesn't it?

>>147063524
>Looks nicer with PCSX2 currently.
The OGL plugin is pretty much superior in every way.

>>147059097
>it's from Emuparadise, which I've generally had good luck with
You must be a goddamn leprechaun to have luck that good

>>147062792
>>147063028
Win10 is bad for emulation in a multi-monitor setup, sadly. You can't turn off desktop composition, which forces input lag when you're already gonna be suffering lag from whatever LCD you use. Makes you ever so slightly worse at platformers and F-Zero.

>>147064460
Doesn't have anisotropic filtering as far as I can tell. I agree that it works better for some games though and is less likely to have graphical glitches but for games where there are no glitches it looks better.


>>147064726
I only use one monitor but I guess that would suck.

>>147065062
Also, remember how all those Linux loonies were telling you Microsoft is spying on you for the government, violating your right to privacy and all that tinfoil hat garbage?

Well Microsoft interpreted that as a feature request when they were making Win10.

>>147066609
Worked! Thank you! Never thought of trying that, I usually set it to Auto.

>>147064726
It only matters when you're in windowed mode.
I've been using win10+RA+CRT for a few months now and there's no difference.

>>147066528
Thanks doc.

>>147066747
N64 emulation. It just works.

I'm trying to play a hardtype hack of Symphony of the Night on Retroarch Mednafen but it won't load. I tried it on PCSX-R and it works but I'd rather use Mednafen. Any ideas?

>>147068737
What format is the game in, and can you get any other games to load in Mednafen?

>>147068805
BIN/CUE, all other games work fine. I've googled it and saw random people saying it wouldn't work on Mednafen but nothing beyond that.

>>147068937
I know that the translation patch of King's Field doesn't work on Mednafen because of how the patch works. All I can say is open the .cue in Notepad and make sure it's pointing correctly to the .bin, and if it is, just assume it doesn't work with Mednafen and play it in PCSX-R

>>147068737
I know that lots of FF7 hacks actually don't work on Mednafen or real hardware but will check out fine in ePSXe and PCSX-R, it could be more of that.

>>147069538
Well I looked up guides and saw the recommended plugin for 2D games is Edgbla's gpuBladeSoft so I downloaded that and it loads the game fine but if I try to configure it I get pic related. It came with shaders and I want to mess with those and don't know if PCSX-R has anything as good as Retroarch's stuff so I just gave up on it.

Also the recommended Lilypad plugin wouldn't let me bind my joypad exactly how I wanted either? ex; I wanted to bind backdash(triangle) to L1 and it wouldn't work. I dunno what the deal with that is.

>>147070071
You need GTK to use bladsoft's GUI, or you could edit the .ini directly.

Does anyone know if RetroArch is capable of accessing ROMs and/or save files from another PC or a NAS?

Ideally, I'd like to be able to access the same ROMs and saves I have on my desktop (or move them to my NAS) so I don't have to copy them over to my laptop. Is this possible?

https://github.com/citra-emu/citra/pull/1634#issuecomment-229603157
He's right you know. Citra devs have spent so much time nit picking every little PR, that they've been piling up and forks have been left stagnating for months. There's a reason why people on gbatemp and chinese forums have to make their own builds, it's the only way to see some real progress.

>>147072298
It's probably more so quality control.

Obviously the earlier on the worse it's going to be, most of the nitpicks I've seen are over code style/format such as variable names, locations, and basic/braindead optimizations.

Granted it's a small team of people working on it in their free time so you have people making the PRs in that time, waiting for feedback, adjusting that feedback, and repeating this until everyone is happy.

You can get all the bios you need from the wiki. It's in the OP.

Sorry, Im out of the loop here. Long time since I updated my mame. Do people still use mame for arcade roms? Do the latest arcade games still get dumped in MAME?

In other words, is it possible to play 2015, 2014 arcade games on pc?

>>147075738
>In other words, is it possible to play 2015, 2014 arcade games on pc?
You can play some Taito Type X games on PC, but not through MAME.

And no, nobody uses MAME in general anymore. They use Final Burn Alpha, and if your game only works in MAME and not FBA, it honestly might not even be worth playing.

Dead general. I'm afraid these may be the last days for ol' /emugen/.

>>147078763
Jokes on you, at the rate development is going and anticipating no roadblocks or hiccups whatsoever, I expect the /emugen/ emulator to be complete within under 8 years! I for one am excited to play all our old threads again.

>>147072123
Yes it works fine

How much compability am I losing by setting VU cycle stealing to 1 for MGS2?
Setting it to one level makes the cutscenes in-game run at 100% speed.

>>147079270
I've been wondering about these options too. Do they make games that run slow natively run faster or do they just make it easier if your PC is underpowered?

>>147072123
Both Google Drive and Dropbox can essentially act as a regular directory you keep on both machines and updates when you change them, if you don't mind the space duplication. For my purposes (both this usage and entering a "laptop program" at my college and wanting to finish my assignments at home or wherever I went) I eventually found that Dropbox was a piece of shit and hurt the laptop's performance, but Google Drive turned out well.

>>147079547
I really don't know how it increases the performance, but I have a very, very good cpu and gpu. Hell, I can run Doom 4 on ultra settings, but emulating MGS2 is a harder thing to handle for my computer.
Even on native resolution, the game gets slowdowns on some cutscenes, and the hardware hacks don't help either, especially skipdraw causes garbage in codec screen. VU cycle stealing seems to be the only solution so far, and I can finally get constant 100% speed even on 3x native res. I just hope there won't be any glitches regarding to this.

>>147079270
Probably some slowdowns, if you set it to 1 it shouldn't affect much but regular hardsaves is something you should do just in case.

>>147079547
EE cyclerate is pretty much just emulating an underclocked PS2, so you have the game running in "fake fullspeed" (60VFPS but lower real FPS if you ever used dolphin), you never set it to negative values, if you can't run the game fullspeed that's the only thing that helps you have no business trying to emulate PS2 to begin with, if you use positve values you're actually emulating an overclocked PS2 which brings the reqs up (sometimes way up) but makes the game sometimes run better than the real hardware.

VU cycle stealing has a very variable effect between games you generally want to avoid touching it, ZOE2 becomes choppy and almost unplayable when you use it but R&C3 just goes permanently in 30fps mode with no adverse effects (the game switches internal framerate dynamically ingame) for example but it doesn't have as constant of a drawback as EE cyclerate but the results are not predictable at all when it comes to how well the game will run, compatibility shouldn't change if you stick to 1 at most.

>>147079993
It's fucking magic, just find something that works and don't touch anything until the next thing breaks.

What is pksx?

>>147080620
I'm gonna go ahead and assumme that's a pocketstation emulator.

>>147080620
I don't know. Why are you asking me?

>>147080351
Regular hardsaves? What are they?
If you mean I shouldn't use save states and use the games own saving system, that's what I do, in fact for any game I never use save states.

>>147080934
>If you mean I shouldn't use save states and use the games own saving system, that's what I do, in fact for any game I never use save states.
Yeah that's what I meant, just save a bit more often so you don't lose too much if the emulator fucks up.

In an interview at the time, Mercury Steam's Dave Cox told Edge, "We needed to make a change, so we did. The Castlevania series wasn't going anywhere, sales were dwindling and it was appealing only to a very small, hardcore fanbase. That's how franchises die... We have to take these risks if Castlevania is to survive, otherwise it's just going to be like Mega Man."

Today, gamers might wonder, what's wrong with being like Mega Man? But, like with many long-running franchises, game companies look for ways to, in their view, revitalize franchises. Whether fans want that, or if they are even necessary, is another matter entirely. But changing 2D games to 3D ends up being low-hanging fruit.

I asked Iga why he wasn't in charge of Lords of Shadow. "We made two 3D Castlevania games," he said. "And to be honest, they didn't turn out so well. Mercury Steam is very skilled at creating beautiful 3D images, so they were brought in to develop the game."

Lord of Shadows was a fantastic way to watch a series die. Play as Dracula the whole time because of a shitty M Night Shamalamadingdong twist, wield the Vampire Killer despite not having the blood of the Belmonts in your veins, bargain bin God of War x Shadow of the Colossus gameplay, all the series music is absent like Bloody Tears, Vampire Killer, and Illusory Dance Battle, Kojima's name tacked onto it even though he literally didn't do anything, and it immediately spawned two of the worst games in the series before completely killing it.

At least Bloodstained will probably deliver us from this Hell.

No one can accept it, but we all know that no one can develop the games the way it was used to be anymore. Including the old developers.
You know it's pretty sad how Julius Belmont didn't get his own game? How he's probably the most badass Belmont ever, and he doesn't even have a spinoff title? I'm afraid of playing Order of Ecclesia. I'm afraid it's going to be the last Castlevania game I'm going to ever taste again. So I just don't play it, and get hyped about it once in a while.

Star Fox 64 was released in 1997. Star Fox 64 3D was released in 2011. In that 14 year gap between the two releases, only three games were released. Star Fox Adventures (Rare's take on The Legend of Zelda with Dinosaurs and a fox as the main character, barely qualifies as a Star Fox title), Star Fox Assault, and Star Fox Command.

Adventures was critically panned and not well received during release or the years after because it was a non-Star Fox game that had Star Fox shoe horned into it at the last second. It also introduced Krystal to the series, who was a super controversial character because everyone hated her and her shitty accent except for people who wanted to fuck her. Very few people belonged in the middle ground of thought.

Assault was a bad game that was pretty alright when you were in the Arwing, and irredeemable trash when you were not in the Arwing. The Arwing sections were not the majority of the game either.

Command was a shit game that was non-canon because the story was so bad and convoluted, had terrible controls, and incorporated some parts of Star Fox 2 that were cool, but ruined them in practice because the game was controlled entirely by the stylus. It was only worth playing if you had a flashcart and pirated it so you could apply patches to it to let you use the D-Pad and buttons to play the game, and even then, it was not worth playing because you had access to a flash cart and every game in the NDS library.

So yeah, it only took Star Fox 14 years of trash before Nintendo remade the only good game in the series and rebooted it. Guess we just gotta champ it out for another 10 years before Metroid gets a good game again.

>>147084803
It's a shame that SF0 wasn't stellar either. I really enjoyed what there as of it but it left me disappointed by the end of my time with it (~12 hours). I haven't 100% completed it but I have got all medals on all the levels that I want to get them all on (all of the 5 medal levels except venom).

Maybe next time Star Fox will be great again.

Order of Ecclesia is the best game in the series. Igarashi and his team knew it was going to be the last Castlevania title they were going to be allowed to make, so they really made it count. You're doing yourself a disservice by not playing it.

Is there any way to get GPSP to have a max ROM buffer of 32 MB? I've read there were ways online, but I'm on the latest version and it's still at 16. My hacked roms larger than 16 MB are crashing at certain points and I think it might be the problem.

Just downloaded Retroarch and I can't get some games to run for GBA.

I've downloaded all the cores available and tried them all and I can't get Golden Sun or Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories to run. I tried Minish Cap and Aria of Sorrow and they both worked, but as soon as I hit "run" for the former two the program just closes and nothing happens.

Anyone know what to do?

anyone else having problems with the newest version of Dolphin making dualshock 3 controllers unresponsive?

>>147087817
Get the bios file and stick it in the right folder. Then turn on the skip bios option.
Which core are you using? I've assumed mGBA.

>>147088093
Where is the skip bios option? And like I said, I was trying all of them trying to get it to work. Is there one that I should be using?

>>147088435
Open a game that does work. Press f8 to get to core options.
Use mGBA.

>>147088572
I actually can't get any game to run with mGBA. And on my version F8 takes a screenshot? I'm using Retroarch 1.3.4.

>>147089151
Other people have told me similar. Look for the button that gives you quick menu then. I must have changed mine. If you're using an xbox controller then the home button might do it automatically.
Did you get a bios yet?

>>147089403
I had the bios already from another "solution" I found while googleing the problem.
And I figured out how to get to the menu and get the option turned on, but now I can't get those 4 games I mentioned before that I was using while messing with options to open. Other games open fine.
Are they trying to open using the other cores I deleted?

You're welcome. I had similar problems with GBA initially.

Don't know if this is a common problem, but does anyone know what "d3dx9_38.dll" is. When I try to start snes9x-x64, it won't let me saying that is missing.

>>147093908
Sounds like some version of D3D9 that you need. Getting some version or other of visualbasic might fix it. Look it up.
Alternatively, use a better SNES emulator like BSNES-Mercury.

>>147094097
Would ZSNES work?

>>147094363

About CRT-Royale on GBA games, could someone make a simple shader that adds 20px padding to the bottom of the image? It would make the image 240x180, which is 4:3 and would work perfectly in Royale.
You could then scale that up 9x to 2160x1620, and crop off the bottom 180px, for a 1440p screen.

Could also do the same for GBC games, padding a side so it's 192x144.

So dolphin with the logitech F310

Potato camera, I know, but the short of it is that I can't do a smash attack normally, at least what I can remember as normal with a gamecube controller.

Basically if I move the stick and hit the button at the same time, he either does the tilt attack, or just an A button attack

I have to move the stick slightly before pressing A to do a smash attack


Anyone know of a quick fix so I don't have to sit around for hours figuring it out? Thanks

and yes the C-stick would work just fine, but all options are nice to have if I can get it working 100%

70 for left
80 for right

Try those.

>>147112838
>>147112929
These aren't for the dead-zones, but rather for the radius.

>>147112685
Up the sensitivity. For Smash you might as well misreport to Dolphin that the F310's massive 6% deadzones are "0%" just so it's more sensitive to sudden increases. Honestly just get a GCN-to-USB adapter though, it's never going to feel right because feeling right is literally outside of the controller's capability. I hate that thing so much after leaving it and realizing how bad it was.

>>147112903
>>147112929
>>147113034
>>147113109
Changing the radius didn't actually do much of anything at all aside from completely preventing like dashing and power smashing at the lower numbers.

Playing with the dead zone did nothing as well, might just be something people would need to get used to

So I'm trying to use the HD retexture for Paper Mario TTYD, but I get that flashing screen every once in awhile.

Tried disabling dual core, but of course that just slows the game down and messes with the audio. Anyone else deal with this?

Also side question, how is Muramasa on Dolphin? Run okay?

Whew, just tried it and it ate up a whole bunch of memory. Was at about 90% RAM memory usage, and made the problem a whole bunch worse.

>>147114829
Radius should be maximum, deadzone should be minimum. That's literally the best you can do for smash attacks. It's also bad for every other game, which for the f310 would be to just enter in the correct deadzone and a sub-100 radius of some amount.

>>147116774
Any particular reason they don't let it go negitive or bigger than 100 on the radius/50 on the deadzone?

Okay so, I don't know if there's a solution, but overall the Logitech F310 is shit for smash, even the weird ass triggers make rolling hard

I have a steelseries 3GC as well, and that controller has no issues with smash attacks or rolling, but it only offers direct input

also has horrible reviews for some reason, but I've used mine 2 years without issue

https://www.amazon.com/SteelSeries-Dual-Vibration-Gaming-Controller/dp/B0036WTVNG

I'd love to just buy USB gamecube clones, or an actual game cube controller with a USB adapter, but it's a few buttons short for some PS2 games

>Why must it be such a pain to find the perfect controller for emulation
Because you're buying cheap shit. Get something decent.

>>147123424
Need to buy up to 4 controllers in the end, so ya

I've fixed the trigger issue by setting the tolerance to 0, so now it works as soon as it's pulled slightly rather than at 50%

>>147123798
>>147123424
>>147123253
By using the logitech software to increase the sensitivity of the stick, I believe it's slightly improved, but I think the main issue is in the physical stick design, the steel series stick is just even more sensitive, so much so that it can't even walk in smash, and even with 100% sensitivity the logitech controller requires more precision to do smash attacks

So, still kind of at a loss

switch from X-input and Direct Input didn't matter

Yeah like rewriting half the emulator code. You're only looking at the amount of bugs left and saying "oh that isn't much" without knowing what it would take to fix those bugs.

>>147131183
go try to emulate shadow of the collossus on an integrated card or low end gpu. pcsx2 is VERY gpu intensive. Same for MGS2

>>147131597
Your idea of a low end card is a low end card from 4+ years ago.

>>147130656
I see. I agree PS2 > PSP and Wii / GC. I like PSP though.

>Yeah like rewriting half the emulator code.
They should just do it already. Instead of sitting around makin excuses Smh desu senpai...

>>147132006
even my gtx 460 couldn't play SoTC beyond native res without slowdowns. I'm sorry to break it to you senpai, but Pcsx2 is a very gpu intensive emulator. I ended up having to use the software renderer for mgs2 because of how badly optimized it was.


This isn't a debate or a discussion by the way, I'm just replying to inform you of the facts.

>>147132161
They have no one to do it. No one left is that dedicated to understands the core code that well. They would need someone new to come on to spend years learning and then do it

>>147132321
Is it true that for certain games the GPU code can be more "unoptimized" for the emulator? Is this why FFX and 12 work easily despite looking good while some shittier looking games don't?

>>147132321
Your 460? That's a low end card from fucking 2010. A literal fossil.

It's not GPU intensive at all when you have at the very least a toaster, your PC is made of cardboard paper.

>>147132596
To fix your perspective please note that FF games don't have good graphics, they just have nice art styles. That's in part why they're easy to run.

>>147132596
yes, absolutely. Its also why shadow of the collosus is the hardest to emulate pcsx2 game next to mgs2.


SoTC pushed the original ps2 hardware to its absolute limits, dropping to as low as 10fps sometimes.

>>147132672
I already told you this isn't a debate or discussion, you're not allowed to disagree.

I'm going to stop replying to you now though, have a nice day.

>>147132976
Why does SOTC run so poorly anyway? Even when you're in an empty field it runs like garbage, is it just drawing a lot more than other games?

>>147133029
"GPU intensive" would mean the majority of people would have trouble running it. The vast majority of people have better GPUs that that shitbrick you own though so you are dead wrong.

>>147133224
On the original hardware or the emulator? I've noticed my internal framerate increase dramatically while just running around in fields on the emulator.


Also, I think he means by gpu intensive by a standard that it requires a mid level gpu to play it above native internal resolution.


I don't know if I consider pcsx2 gpu intensive myself as even my integrated intel 530 was able to maintain fullspeed on x1 native res. (I sadly had slowdowns at 2x or higher)Cemu however I would personally consider to be gpu intensive due to how early in its development it is and also considering how unoptimized it is, most setups can't full speed mario kart 8 without dropping to 85% speed on many spots.

>>147133517
Well, both.

pcsx2 isn't gpu intensive, 4 year old cards can play just about anything full speed with 2x res at the very least, SOTC included.

>>147133695
what gpu would you recommend to play in 4k?

:^)

>>147133770
I prefer overclocking the frame rate to 4k but my 4 year old card can do either separately.

Guys I need some help.

I'm trying to emulate SMB 3, however I don't get any sound.

Here's the kicker, I've tried using fceux, jnes, nesticle and nestopia. I've also tried using a SMB3 rom from 3 or 4 different rom sites, both US and EU versions.

Still no matter what I try in the audio settings on all the different emulators, nothing happens. Sound is simply gone.

So, how good is Citra at the moment?
I know that one wouldn't be able to play a game from the beginning till the end in 60fps, but are some games at least somewhat playable?

>>147135862
Is it the emulator's fault? As in, have you tried another ROM to see if it plays sound?
Do you get sound at all on your computer?
Did you mute the emulator in your OS's settings?
Are the emulators using the correct sound device?
Some questions of top off my head.

Hey there, not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I figure it is worth a shot.

I'm in the market for some kind of emulation device that I can dump roms into, that also utilizes HDMI, which would allow me to capture footage with a capture card I own, as well as plug it into most modern TVs for gaming. The more systems it can play stable, the better, but I'm really just looking for PSX and under.

Research has me looking at either a Rasberry Pi 3, or else some kind of Android device. Figured the fine people of /eeg/ would have experience with either of those options.

>>147139529

I doubt the RPi can emulate the PSX decently.

I'd just use a small PC myself.

>>147139529
An Rpi isn't too bad if you can ignore the average SNES emulation and spotty PSX compatibility.

Other than that an actual PC is gonna be the better option almost everytime.

2x res is shittock. If you aren't getting at least 4x you're not really playing the game

If you hook up a PC to a CRT TV and use a scanline filter, can you get a sharp-looking image from 480i?

>>147166276
That's probably due to the good artstyle.

Why does PPSSPP have mapping for a right stick even though PSPs don't have right sticks?

>>147168953
>He doesn't know

>>147168764
Are Vaan's abs part of this mythical good art style?

>>147132672
Do you even know what toaster means?

>>147168953
actually, there are games that support a right analog stick and only ppsspp can exploit that ability.

>>147169070
wut

Is it due to the like 3 PS3 games PPSSPP can run like monhun 3rd hd?

>>147169079
Nah they're part of the PS2 being an underpowered piece of shit.

>>147157330
I knew gbatemp was a hellhole but the emulator talk there apparently manages to make even their homebrew threads seem like highly intelligent discourse.

What's with complete retards and loving AMD, anyway? Is it as simple as AMD being cheap shit, poor people buying cheap shit instead of saving up for a bit longer due to lacking patience, poor people being poor because they're stupid and lazy? I don't know why an up-and-coming emulator should have to put in extra work cutting corners to try and run better on their suboptimal trash machines.

Hello Nvidia marketer.

>>147169371
Yes.

>>147170217
Surely you mean Intel marketer?

Yeah it's my vacation project. Seems relatively straightforward so far but we'll see, I'm still at the very early stages.

Also I still suck at coming up with program names so if you have something better than "pksx" I'm interested.

>>147170585
Yeah, sorry. Forgot I'm not on /v/.

>>147169660
AMD is just as good as Nvidia though. You just have to use it the right way, i.e. don't use OGL

Still using PPSSPP 0.9.9.1 and notice no problems with games. Is there any real reason to update?

>>147170880
and hope the game doesn't use too many draw calls...

or use too few triangles per draw

>>147172404
What are Nvidia's weaknesses? Tell me O Grand Wizard

>>147173030
For emulation? idk, there's probably something..

>with obvious beta assets

It has to run on the WIiU and Vita. To make 3D look as good and detailed as 2D, you need a LOT of resource power. More than what those systems can deliver.

Those are the final assets.

>>147173446
Damn. Maybe if we give them our money they will make their product better.

>>147174526
> Jews
> making improvements to anything
Not even /pol/ but you are retarded.

>>147105000

wht shader?

>>147174730
yah, i know. maybe one day i'll be sophisticated enough to blame jews for my problems.
until then, i'll guess i'll just buy stuff.

>>147105000
That shader really helps bring out the detail in her cleavage.

Used to run Ogre Battle 64 with a default-setup Project 64. Now it crashes in the intro. Tried troubleshooting with different plugins, HLE audio etc. Nothing works. Any tips?

>>147178614
wat version of PJ64 are you using? I suggest using 2.3.

Also wat plugins are you using?

>>147178614
Try using Retroarch+Mupen64Plus.

>>147179992
2.2, didn't have 2.3

GlideN64

>>147181317
Might

Nice blog, but this is entirely off-topic. This thread is for emulation discussion, not tumblr Let's Play posting.

Anyone?

Something to do with the bluetooth stack maybe?

How triggered did you get by my Metroidposting a couple of days ago? Jesus christ, m8, chill out. It's not like I was doing a full fucking longplay of Terranigma as webms.

>>147183272

Now THAT one was irritating.
I love Picross guy though.

>>147181582
Do you have any unfinished shot? I can't figure out how those numbers match up with pixels in the image.

They match up to the bottom-right square.

The entire image is 30x30 and is broken in 4 15x15 puzzles. Once it's solved it displays the full image with the caption.

Are the rules here different? This seems all wrong.

>>147185794

The "emu gen" in my example is all wrong, I just wanted to showcase how it looked while I was solving the puzzle.

In Picross 2 "wario" mode the game doesn't tell you when you make a mistake so you can draw anything you like without the game stopping you.

>>147186048
Oh, that's neat.

>>147183272
I was the one who wrote that exact comment in response to the metroidposting. Not sure why someone other than the salty autist who spammed the thread would copy/paste it out of context.

>>147175459
Should be lanczos4 and CRT Lottes downscaled from 2x native.
