/emugen/ - Emulation General

So where do we migrate? There's a dead /emugen/ thread on the 8th chan we might want to resurrect.

/vg/ is obviously too fast for us, soon we'll just give up on making threads, if we want to regroup somewhere else it's now or never.

>>147534736

I was thinking of the /vg/ board on 8 chan by the way. There are a few other boards where it could live but I guess there's no point in making it even more obscure than it is.

I think emugen is fine.

The thread just dies at night because only ausfags are awake and this thread doesn't have enough shitposting for them to post here.

PC-98 cores in libretro when?

The real solution is to increase the thread limit on /vg/. It hasn't been touched since like 2013.

>>147534736
I think /emugen/ belongs on /vr/ because
a) emulation is about past systems and
b) threads don't die so fast on there
so,..

/vg/ used to allow /emugen/ to last for weeks despite slow posting. It's too crowded now so the thread limit should be increased by whoever the fuck is in charge now (is it still hiroshima?)

>>147536517
Have fun never talking about anything past Dreamcast emulation or otherwise incurring the wrath of NOT RETRO posters.

>>147536517
>>147536932
Also all the retards on /vg/ mostly stick to their own retard threads and don't bother /emugen/ that much. You won't get that on /vr/.

I wonder if there are other generals in our situation. /ksg/ can't be more active than us, right?

We could always just stop linking the wiki and become tech support general.

>>147550571

New to the emulation scene here and am planning on developing a small game for the NES What programming language is required?

I've seen some NES games use Assembly, but I was wondering if I could get away with using a higher, object-oriented language... Thoughts?

>>147553947

C99

C++ was a mistake

>>147553947
You need to use ASM for the NES/Famicom. The fact that you think you can use anything else means you're not ready to take on NES development.

>>147553947
Rust

>>147553947
https://www.reddit.com/r/EmuDev/comments/4ramh0/ferris_inspired_me_to_try_writing_an_nes_emulator/

Well... You're probably right! Which is why I'm asking.

Would you say this: http://wiki.nesdev.com/w/index.php/Before_the_basics
is a good starting point?

>>147554078
I'm still having trouble trying to figure out the difference between C and C99... (I think how new I am at programming is painfully apparent by now)

>>147553947

For NES you basically have to use ASM, you might try to use C (is there even a C compiler targeting the NES CPU?) but dealing with the various low level shenanigans of the console will seriously limit you to very low level code.

For instance you'll have to deal with ROM banking (unless you only write a very trivial code which doesn't need to bank anything), dealing with that in C sounds... interesting.

I think nowadays it's probably easier to write a NES emulator than a non-trivial NES game.

You dumb cunts do it to yourselves.

>>147534736
I think emugen is fine as it is.

You have to realize while not necessarily niche, it still is. Why talk about emulating specifically, and here, instead of going to a relevant point of discussion for what you're playing (see: this board).

There's nothing wrong with constantly reviving the thread as needed. If anything it would be considered that at any point there may be enough justifiable discussion, or not.

In either case, at the very least, it means at least one person wants to discuss it (or the short end of the stick: seeing discussion) by reviving the thread and that's enough.

I'd just like to remind everyone here that /vr/ doesn't have a fucking clue when it comes to emulation and readily recommends shit like ZSNES and ePSXe.

It's about maintaining a balance, really. Linking to the wiki/google is fine if you've had tons of the same question in a really short period of time, but some people on here reply with nothing but (as if /emugen/ were the wiki instead of the 4chan thread; sorry buddy, I'm pretty sure the General came first).

4Chan doesn't _do_ extended projects. Never happened, not gonna happen, not even once. Now, you could recruit a subgroup _out of 4chan_ , plan and execute whatever you're aiming to do in some other more focused online social environment. But don't think you'll ever write so much as a line of code coordinating purely on the 'chan. It ain't happening.

>>147557283

No, they've never done that. Their problem is more that they refuse to even recognize emulators as a legitimate means of experiencing these games. Most would seriously see nothing wrong with blowing thousands per-system to get pristine units and carts (no repros mind you; that's CHEATING!).

I don't care what your fiscal responsibilities are: that's just wack.

>>147558635
so if I have an i5 but AMD GPU, which should I use?

>>147558670

That's one of the things that needs to stop. Unless someone has gone on for near a hundred posts about the same game (and another general already exists for it), I see nothing wrong with a little gaming discussion.

>>147558868
If you're getting GPU bottlenecked, DX11. Otherwise, OpenGL.

>>147546927
>>147549521
SFC30 for 2D games.
PS3 or PS4 controller for 3D games.

>>147550618
The PS3 controller might, but the PS4 controller supports Direct Input natively, so it will pair like any other Bluetooth controller.

Sure thing.

Does Dolphin work on a Wii via SD card on the Homebrew Channel or should I just use Nintendont?

>>147568412
I didn't ask for your opinion on filters, I was just wondering if anyone else had a similar problem. Looks pretty CRT to me though. From everything I've been reading, it's a nvidia driver issue.

>>147568887

>>147568878
>>"It is "CRTish" only in the loosest sense."
At low resolutions, yeah. You need ~9x scaling, so 480p/i content is looking at a 8K resolutions.
>>147568887
>Does Dolphin work on a Wii
Of course not.

Never change emugen.

>>147569108
>You need ~9x scaling, so 480p/i content is looking at a 8K resolutions.

That depends on what CRT you are emulating. Emulating a small CRT with large phoshors relative to the raster line size can be done with 1440p or lower. Of course, more resolution is always better for this.

It is kind of unfortunate that PSP emulates so well while other consoles with better games do not. But then maybe it helps preserve those games that no one would bother to port and "save" or the like. So people who are curious will always be able to play games like BRS

hey guys, quick question. i've got a long plane ride tomorrow and was wondering if theres' a way I can set up PPSSPP on my mac and use my Android as a controller for the Emulator? via bluetooth or some such.

Is this good for emulation? I'd probably only want to emulate up to say, the GameCube and PS2. And use shaders in RetroArch.

Do you still a powerful CPU to get a decent framerate on Dolphin? They supposedly got a massive boost out of the CPU code, just wondering how much difference it made

That was like over a year ago(performance has slowly gotten worse since), but it is a pretty huge difference. I was able to run FZero on a Phenom II, which would never have happened before.

The opening of Metroid Prime still fucks my shit up though.

Because people want fame or money to code anything these days. Or they're simply NIH and only work on things they made themselves.

Not really. Who wants to work with someone who doesn't even respect you as a human being?

>>147626637
Respect is something you earn though.

>>147626929
I think everyone deserves at least some respect by default, Regardless, he disrespects devs who actually deserve respect. He threw most N64 emudevs under the bus, while those he hasn't talked trash about, are no better.

I don't like his views about other emudevs, but I did enjoy his rants on politics :) .

anyone here have a US 100% save file for Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze?

>>147622039
Your best bet is to honestly just get a Wii and softmod that. It runs Nestopia, Snes9x Next, Genesis Plus GX, Gambatte, and mGBA at fullspeed and can output all the original 240p resolutions, and you have have Nintendont + USB Loader GX/CFG USB Loader for 100%, perfect backwards compatibility with GameCube titles, 100% compatibility with all existing Wii titles, and you can load VC .wad's of many N64 titles.

If that's not good enough for you and you really, really want a PC, you're going to need an RGB interface and scan converter to get it to output 240p, no exceptions, and you can read more about that here:

https://filthypants.blogspot.com/2014/03/tvs-and-retro-gaming-emulation.html

http://scanlines.hazard-city.de/

No, that S-Video port coming directly from the card isn't good enough. No, installing CRT_emudriver doesn't magically allow your card to output a 240p signal without additional hardware. No, there is no other way to get a PC to display 240p to a CRT. Yes, if you honestly believe that 480i is good enough, you might be brain damaged.

>>147626637

>>147628309
Pretty much everyone agrees N64 emudevs have been doing it wrong. The general opinion on /v/ and /vr/ and othe general gaming boards is that N64 emulation is terrible

I don't see how pointing that out is disrespect. The only people doing any good are Angrylion and cxd4 making their respective accurate plugins. Pretty much everyone else has been pissing in the wind.

>>147629764
>The only people doing any good are Angrylion and cxd4 making their respective accurate plugins.

You forgot MooglyGuy.

>>147629764
>Pretty much everyone agrees N64 emudevs have been doing it wrong.
People say that because they're too busy using overrated plugins / emulators.

>The only people doing any good are Angrylion and cxd4 making their respective accurate plugins. The only people doing any good are Angrylion and cxd4 making their respective accurate plugins.
I strongly disagree. It's true Angrylion did good work, but you can't just forget about everyone else. I don't see how you can praise cxd4's work and not PJ64's. It's not the fastest available RSP. While MAME is pretty irrelevant nowadays, their work in the past has paved the way for others. Let's not forget about CEN64 either :) .

>>147625263
Because threatening to sell out due to feeling overworked and angry is the same as actually selling out. He's also threatening to quit anyway because he's tired of working on RA's code by himself.

He constantly throws emudevs under the bus. He keeps mentioning how "everyone stole code from oman's", even though that's not entirely true and most people who did do so, openly admitted it.

>>147632320
Problem is, those people who took code from Oman's are the originators of n64 emulation, so the emulators the later devs are working on are built on a corrupt foundation of code by people who knew the secrets of Oman

PJ64 takes one step forward but then takes two steps back with stuff like malware, and Mupen64plus is a dead project. CEN64 is going nowhere fast, and cycle accuracy is a pipe dream.

What needs to happen is a total rewrite of Mupen64 that brings it up to Project64 standards without being tied to any single platform architecture.

you must be new here. there usually isn't a thread that goes by without someone bitching about the shitty behavior of these joysticks.
Weather or not it's due to the drivers or the bluetooth stack is debatable, but the fact is that these are a fucking pain to use. It's been a year or so since i've used them personally, but compared to the m$ drivers, they are utterly pathetic.

>>147638135
>you must be new here. there usually isn't a thread that goes by without someone bitching about the shitty behavior of these joysticks.
Nope, and all I see are people who need to turn on 'Hide DS4 Controller', or are using inputmapper.

>>147634612
>PJ64 takes one step forward but then takes two steps back with stuff like malware
malware has been removed.

>and Mupen64plus is a dead project
I have to agree. It's pretty dead. Sad how they don't even accept PRs..

>CEN64 is going nowhere fast, and cycle accuracy is a pipe dream.
Not necessarily. Maybe he won't be able to achieve full speed + cycle accurate, but that doesn't mean it won't help emulation. Less accurate emulators can still benefit from using some of the code in CEN64.

>What needs to happen is a total rewrite of Mupen64 that brings it up to Project64 standards without being tied to any single platform architecture.
Why the need to have a different emulator instead of PJ64? Wouldn't it be better if everyone joined forces? Project64 is becoming more portable.

Oh it's worse than simply that. I just didn't want to risk misquoting him, since I don't feel like digging too deep to find references. He refers to some emudevs as "talentless hacks".

>Pls get over yourself and stop whining about how he tells the truth about it instead of pretending they're hyper advanced coding gods from Planet X like others seem to do.
It's not whining, since I'm pointing out reasons why RA is lacking in contributors. Nobody should expect to receive help from those they talked bad about. It's funny you say that, considering he likes to hype people who are on his immunity list (like maister). His idea of "truth" is more like an exageration. He isn't giving enough cred to the some emudevs.

Steam is notorius for just shitting the old stuff out regardless if it works or not. There even was a case of a game that would only have Audio if you put in the original CD.

There's a thing called "burden of proof".

>He refers to some emudevs as "talentless hacks".

So? If he was talking about Zilmar, then Zilmar deserves much worse for releasing software with malware inside the installer.

>since I'm pointing out reasons why RA is lacking in contributors. Nobody should expect to receive help from those they talked bad about

There's little proof that 99% of these people had any intention of contributing anything to RA in the first place. Most of them think frontend code is beneath them or whatever, and think libretro is a waste of time. Such people can't be reasoned with anyway, so why bother censoring yourself to make them feel good?

Some of these people fired first anyway (cough Haze cough)

>>147636896
Can you really map a button to "Shake"? How does that even work? Isn't that a really complex set of motions?

I'm curious what that Sixaxis/R-Stick/Tilt is supposed to mean, too.

>>147583080
They must be really well hidden because I could never find anything to play on mine.

>>147644918
Yes. It's probably just like really quickly inputting X=1 then X=0 then Y=1... as the wiimotes accelerometer data so it reads it as the wiimote getting moved around quickly.
>I'm curious what that Sixaxis/R-Stick/Tilt is supposed to mean, too.
You can map the DS4's Sixaxis to the right stick in DS4Windows, so do that, then map the right stick to wiimote tilt in dolphin.

>>147592859
That game was actually pretty good, even though it looked like shit.

>>147645626
So, R-Stick controls Sixaxis, which controls Tilt? Why not just control Tilt directly?

>>147645935
>So, R-Stick controls Sixaxis
No, other way around.
>Why not just control Tilt directly?
It is, Sixaxis = Tilt, but you can't map Sixaxis directly (as there's no XInput equivalent available), so you have to abstract it through the right stick.

>>147646308
Ohhh, gotcha. That's a pretty good setup.

>>147644093
>So? If he was talking about Zilmar, then Zilmar deserves much worse for releasing software with malware inside the installer.
That's called slander. Which is wrong.

>There's little proof that 99% of these people had any intention of contributing anything to RA in the first place. Most of them think frontend code is beneath them or whatever, and think libretro is a waste of time. Such people can't be reasoned with anyway, so why bother censoring yourself to make them feel good?
Pessimistic assumptions like these only further convince me what the real problem is. Those who exert too much negativity will likely not receive much support.

>Some of these people fired first anyway (cough Haze cough)
I don't mind if SP attacks MAME devs or byuu. MAME devs cannot be taken seriously. Mooglyguy had the nerve to call N64 emulators, "hack-u-lators". Even I deem those devs as worthless :) .


If SP is genuinely willing to collab with emudevs, then I guess he's ok in my book.

I still don't fully trust that all the malware is removed from PJ64

>>147649904

Ignoring RA/libretro entirely is not very rational since it brings some things to the table that no one else has, UI quirks aside.

Normal people also ignore a bunch of other stuff that's new and stick to old versions of stuff like ZSNES or ePSXe that have been around for decade because people keep recommending those.

Is there a reason there's so much hate for plugin-based emulators like ePSXe or PCSX?

I mean, for reliability's sake, I get it; RetroArch is much less fiddly and user friendly, and stable (at least if you aren't using Mednafen's SNES or GBA cores), but ePSXe works fine for me, and I enjoy the upgraded resolution that it affords.

Is there something I'm not seeing?

Because accuracy should be your 1st priority, and Mednafen is the emu that can deliver.

ePSXe is truly ZSNES 2.0.

That's why I'm asking. I've only used it for Chrono Cross thus far (as well as a trial with SotN, which I now just play on RetroArch), and I've seen a lot of hate for it without justification.

If accuracy is why, that's fine. I get it; if you're emulating something and your end-goal is to be as true to source as possible, then Mednafen PSX is a stable core that performs admirably well. I'm not judging anyone here.
