Messed up them links.

3 posts in and we're already dead. Good effort lads and ladettes.

I may as well ask a question to stay on topic and not just shitpost:
When updating to the newest retroarch, which files do I need to copy across. Anything other than cores, configuration.txts and any save files?

Is there any single emudev who SP respects the same way he respects Maister?

Quality SP GUI engineering

Is this >>148722551 true?

>>148726038
Not entirely.
Vulkan has proven itself to be much better than OGL and current DX revisions, so that much is true.
However, OGL will likely continue being supported for quite some time, as a lot of programs need it. People forget that legacy support is a thing.

Anyone know how to set this up?, I went to the forums and they say that I dont need to download ad-hoc server anymore cause the new version has it already? Any help appreciated, thanks

What's wrong with hamachi?

>>148726038
2/3 of it are bullshit, you can't get much better than low level hardware access so vulkan is probably around for more than 5 years, Legacy support isn't going anywhere either your 2016 GPU still support OGL2 doesn't it, on top of that I'm pretty sure a wrapper could be made in a worst case scenario and it probably wouldn't even impact performance that much.

I've had it for months and have absolutely no idea how to get rid of it.

I see that there's a new Mednafen HW core. It doesn't seem to do anything differently for me. Internal resolution increases still slow the game massively regardless of whether I choose opengl or software as the renderer.

So are some good Saturn emulators appearing after the drm thing last week?

>>148725671
>>148728329
I think you guys somehow created a playlist that isn't assigned to any console/core whatsoever, so RA doesn't know what icon to load and this black box shows up.

>>148730878

You expect too much too soon. The Saturn emu scene has been dead for so long that it will be a good while before devs gravitate to it, rhyphecha's rumored attempt notwithstanding.

>>148730585
It hasn't been finished yet and is here pretty much just for testing purposes right now, most games slow down heavily or are broken to various degrees so if you intend on just playing games use something else.

>>148730585

If you ask me, devs' time and energy would be better spent attempting to multithread the software renderer so that accuracy can be increased yet more to fix the remaining few games with bugs. This fork's focus on bolt-plating hardware rendering onto the emu is like trying to turn an optical drive into an HDD- yeah, it's prolly possible, but...why?

Cab anyone test RE2 on the new ParaLLEl N64 core? Don't have a pc with me ATM.

>>148730878
It'll take awhile. Also bypassing the CD unit seems like it's better for flash cards and such, less so for emus. Still that guy who did it is a piece of work. Somehow just deciding on a project like that just due to wanting to fool around with its sound system and going in there and getting shit done, although as he said he did have documentation from the emu community and the like about what they thought things did.

Ah, I've been playing the game fine for a week, and then this just happened. It's not happening anymore, but it caused Dolphin to crash.

Do Vulkan/DX12 backends on Retroarch, PPSSPP, Dolphin etc. give a noticable performance boost?

Are there any bugs as a result?

>>148751872
For Dolphin, I got a huge boost on Pandora's Tower with DX12, no idea if the same applies for the others.

Does DeSmuME libretro still only support software or does it support opengl now?

>>148751872
You wont see much of a performance boost with RetroArch (unless you're using a core that utilizes Vulkan) as it's already very low overhead, but it does help reduce input lag. For the rest, yes. Around at least a 10-20% boost, maybe more depending on the game/GPU/emulator.
>Are there any bugs as a result?
Some implementations aren't complete yet and are buggy or missing features. Vulkan on RetroArch is complete and doesn't introduce any issues AFAIK (even fixes a performance issue with multi-monitor setups that happens with OGL). Dolphin isn't even in master yet and is missing features and settings needed for some games. And last I checked PPSSPP was missing one setting that was needed for some games.

Does anyone know if its possible to convert the drastic ds save files into other formats? I have some old as fuck files from 2014 which apparently don't work with their newest version because they use different BIOS in their emulator. Was hoping I could recover those saves somehow by converting it to something that desume can use

is there a rom I can use to test whether I have jerkey scrolling with snes with retroarch? I'm trying mario world on bsnes and snes9x next and both seem to stutter slightly when Im running at a constant speed.

Uneven pixel alert

Shaders are required if you want to have a correct pixel aspect ratio without uneven pixels. The Pixellate shader is as close to nearest as it gets.

The VC version is the same as the GameCube version, except it reverts the button colours back to Blue and Green for A and B, reverts the square at the bottom of the dialogue back to blue from green, and reverts the instances of "L-Targeting" back to "Z-Targeting"

The literal only difference between the VC and GameCube versions besides those incredibly minor cosmetic changes are that on real hardware, you have to use a GameCube controller to play the GC version, but you can use a GC controller OR a Classic Controller for the VC version.

Only the N64 version played on real hardware can correctly render Morpha though

Actually, Morpha is rendered incorrectly in the original N64 release. Check the 3DS port for comparison.

HLE audio works fine for every single game in N64 emulation, unlike Dolphin.

I'm more greatful for Byuu's contributions, despite the fact that I personally despise him. I have no idea why he'd suck up to significantly inferior coders.

>>148777560
The 3DS port renders Morpha the same as on the right in the GC/VC versions which is the incorrect way to render her.

Unless you're just trying to bait me

>>148777738
>HLE audio works fine for every single game in N64 emulation
Same with Dolphin. Have you used it in the past year?

>>148776160
Do emulators properly render morpha?

>>148778165
No, but I haven't tested AngryLion's because holy shit I don't want to try to walk to Morpha's room at 2fps, and I haven't tested ParaLLEl because OoT crashes every time I try to open the menu no matter what, so I figure even if it doesn't render her right now, a lot still needs to be fixed up.

>>148778072
No, Dolphin cannot emulate the audio from the Rogue Squadron games in HLE. However, N64 HLE plugins can emulate Factor 5 games because bsmiles reverse engineered the variations of Factor 5's audio ucodes they used in N64 titles.

>>148776160
Don't forget that the GC version has rumble support, but the VC version does not.

>>148778072

There are misguided people who claim that 007: Legends is a bad James Bond game. Compared to Gearbox's Nightfire, 007: Legends is an amazing Bond game with incredible gunplay and quality production values.

You think to yourself, "Surely Gearbox couldn't muck up the simple act of firing a gun, could they?" Oh, yes, they could. Gearbox, working with GoldSrc, somehow managed to make the very act of using a firearm not fun. Even the GBA Nightfire game has better FPS mechanics. How is that possible?

But fortunately, Eurocom's Nightfire exists, and can be emulated on Dolphin. Wonderful game. Everyone should play it. Eurocom were the best Bond developer. RIP, Eurocom.

>>148778626
>No, Dolphin cannot emulate the audio from the Rogue Squadron games in HLE.
That's only because these games use a custom DSP ucode with slightly different struct layout. The issue is well-understood, it's just that nobody wants to do the work because it would require adding a few abstractions. There is a very hacky workaround somewhere.

>>148779470
I've played Nightfire on the GameCube, the PS2, and the Xbox, and it's straight up my favourite Bond game because at the time me and my friends played it, it was just a modern GoldenEye and Perfect Dark hybrid with LAN support (at least the Xbox version).

>The 3DS port renders Morpha the same as on the right in the GC/VC versions

So it's correct then since the 3DS release is the canon version.

There was a bug that renders Morpha incorrectly in the original N64 version which the developers failed to catch, every release after that fixes that.

>>148779470
Computer Gaming World described it as "the most incompetently crafted shooter in living memory," and I'm inclined to agree with them.

What it did have, however, was quite nice level designs in places. I believe the lead level designer from Nightfire PC went on to be lead level designer for Doom 4. Which isn't necessarily a good thing because Doom 4 has terrible arena-based level design that turns the entire game into a painful slog. But I digress.

>>148780025
>There was a bug that renders Morpha incorrectly in the original N64 version which the developers failed to catch, every release after that fixes that.
You can't actually be this stupid, can you?

>>148779782
Nightfire was a successor to The World Is Not Enough N64, which Eurocom also made. There are interesting little touches that carry across both games, like the way bullets ricochet off walls.

Then there was Agent Under Fire, which began as a project to port TWINE N64 to the PS2 and PC, but it ended up becoming its own game. AUF started the trend of shoehorning in outsourced driving sections into Bond games. I'm really not fond of them.

>>148780413
Agent Under Fire is fucking garbage, and the only reason I own it is because I used it way, way back in the day to softmod my Xbox. TWINE wasn't the best Bond game by any means, but it wasn't as offensive to me as someone who liked to casually play console FPS titles with my friends when we were bored like AUF was.

Like Christ, that was a trainwreck of a game.

>>148780025
>>148780130
Well, it is an interesting argument. The only people who can say for sure would be the original developers. How is Morpho SUPPOSED to look? When they were modelling the character, how did it look on their workstations? I'm inclined to think the N64 versions is the "correct" one, however, because of its rather unique look that strikes me as deliberate.

>>148780641
>TWINE wasn't the best Bond game by any means, but it wasn't as offensive to me as someone who liked to casually play console FPS titles with my friends when we were bored like AUF was.
Worth noting there are two TWINE games. TWINE PS1, by Black Ops Entertainment, and the N64 game by Eurocom. They have their pros and cons, but I think Eurocom's game is overall the better one. They were just darn good developers in their heyday. Even that licensed G-Force game is pretty good.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9bLtBSdsHc

>>148780684
The N64 version is the correct version because it clearly uses N64 specific hardware tricks on the ball, and it looks really cool in motion. The ball you see on the right is rendered underneath the red and blue mess you see on the left, so the GC/VC/3DS versions aren't "wrong", they just don't render her fully.

I assume she's rendered that way in the GC/VC versions because it's a very tricky N64 effect to emulate, and the 3DS version was outsourced to Grezzo who probably didn't know any better.

-TR Wiimotes (Wiimotes with motion plus built in) connect easier, and don't desync [as much] anymore.
>so all one needs is what, the sensor bar?
And a bluetooth adapter. If you don't have either, you might want to look at getting a dolphinbar.

Read the comments section -

JonathanMarston 9 hours ago

N64 emulators have traditionally used a technique called High-Level Emulation (HLE) which basically just emulates the graphics at an API level, rather than actually emulating the hardware.

The advantage is much faster speed, but the disadvantage is that you have to emulate every version of the API, and many games even used custom APIs (called microcodes), each with their own nuances that made accurate emulation very difficult, if not impossible.

I wrote a couple N64 graphics plugins back in college (glN64 and Direct64), and it was a constant struggle trying to improve compatibility across all the possible microcodes. This new method means that you can emulate the hardware directly, so in theory 100% compatibility could be in reach."

Gonetz is literally still working on code some guy programmed for fun when he was at college and no longer gives a shit about.

How long will it take for PGXP to support most games?

>>148805352
>LOL, not even the GLN64 author Orkin (from which Gonetz stole the code from, and launched a greedy kickstarter around) believes that.
Nice propaganda. So using open source code = stealing now? Going by that logic, Orkin "stole code" as well.

Working below minimum wage = greedy kickstarter? That's news to me.

>Gonetz is literally still working on code some guy programmed for fun when he was at college and no longer gives a shit about.
Where's the proof that's really him? The guy does not even sound like an expert to me.

>"the disadvantage is that you have to emulate every version of the API, and many games even used custom APIs (called microcodes), each with their own nuances that made accurate emulation very difficult, if not impossible."
Sounds like a load of BS to me. microcode is not even hard to emulate properly. THere's no excuse when oman's archive exists.

Well that's bullshit. Why the fuck hasn't the asshole fixed that, instead of diddling around with hackfest hardware renderers?

>>148807373

LOL, HLE bullshit has nothing to do with being an 'expert', it is more like game programming than actually being an actual emulator developer.

You are not emulating 'anything' with HLE, just hacking shit together at the API level.

> Sounds like a load of BS to me. microcode is not even hard to emulate properly. THere's no excuse when oman's archive exists.

Of course but every N64 emudev does the same bullshit routine as to where all those microcodes come from. Don't play coy now, he is hardly alone in that.

My main point is that the guy seems too noobish to be Orkin, or any emudev for that matter. I highly doubt it's him. Tbh senpai, HLE requires more skill than LLE.

>You are not emulating 'anything' with HLE, just hacking shit together at the API level.
HLE emulates the software.

>Of course but every N64 emudev does the same bullshit routine as to where all those microcodes come from.
At least some actually attempted to emulate games like Star Wars Rogue Squadron and Last Legion in HLE. I respect those who gave even the slightest effort in attempting to HLE those games. Then there are devs such as BSmiles32 who actually successfully HLEd undocumented audio microcodes.

Because a few of them have implications wider than that one reported issue. The main dude developing Beetle (Twinaphex, right?) has said several things that are setting off alarm bells:

- Literally doesn't understand a section of code enough to use it. (then why are you the primary developer fuckface?)

- Doesn't keep in synch with mainline, even though there's little compelling reason not to.

- Has admitted in so many words that "Meh, good enough. People will still use it!" is his development philosophy for this project.

- GL rendering
- PBP support
- Widescreen hack

Etc. Honestly, just because you can't play shitty Nipponese game that no person on Earth gives a fuck about does not change the fact it is lightyears beyond standalone at this point.

>>148822708
>software rendering is painfully slow on the average computer.
Software rendering can be fast enough for emulating old systems.

"People just don't have any goddamn pride or responsibility in their work anymore" Yeah, I'd like to see you managing this workload. If there was no pride or responsibility involved, I would not still be here, and would certainly not torture myself in near crunch-time conditions to push these major releases out either.

Take a good look at yourself and realize how much of an enttiled dickhead you are really towards a guy who only gives, gives all the damn time. I am not mr. super 'l33t' genius coder and I don't give a fuck, I bring everybody together, I make sure that it all gets coordinated and that at the end of the day after all is said and done, there is something to release. If random l33t coder wants to prop up their resume or their 'skills' or whatever they can all do that, I don't give a fuck about that. I only care about the project and about libretro as an ecosystem.

I's not even remotely close to being a good game compared to what the PC FPS offer was around that time (or at-least what I played at the time) but it's still a decent 6.5/10, 7.5/10 if you can actually get somewhat decent in multiplayer (and yes there are still servers for it to this day, hell there's even still community patches for it to this day)

The main problems with it is that it looks bad (HL1 looks better in some cases, the console version looks far better), your weapon lack feedback because most of them sound like shit there is no blood at all and the explosion are the most unsatisfying explosions ever made.

The console version is just as bad for different reasons, namely your gun still lack feedback not because of the sound this time but because firing on an enemy has almost no effect most of the time and they're damage sponges to a ridiculous degree especially later on and in harder difficulty levels (even UBGL grenades have little effect by the time they're a thing, and good fucking luck getting several headshots per enemies with console aiming), also there's maybe two full auto weapons in the whole game), the vehicle / turret section are the most terrible of all the console bond games (worst being the underwater one by far and the only good one being the intro one), the bosses are all shit (they even managed to fuck up one of the only well made one from the PC version), total lack of environmental damage (most of it was fully scripted in the PC version but a few things actually happen contextually) and it still has the fucking terrible armor system of AUF, the other two 6th gen 007 games were better.

>The console version is just as bad for different reasons
You're simply wrong. Nightfire is basically The World is Not Enough 2.0, and The World is Not Enough was also awesome. The guns feel good to fire, and the vehicle sections, while the weakest part of the game, are overall fine.

>The main problems with it is that it looks bad (HL1 looks better in some cases, the console version looks far better), your weapon lack feedback because most of them sound like shit there is no blood at all and the explosion are the most unsatisfying explosions ever made.
The problem with Gearbox's Nightfire is that weapons have no visible impact on enemies and enemy weapons have no impact on YOU. You literally stand there like a sack of potatoes as your health meter goes down slice by slice. The gunplay is awful. Half Life 1 had bad gunplay to begin with, but Gearbox somehow made it unimaginably worse.

Eurocom's Nightfire is fundamentally a stealth game for the most part. You're encouraged to strike fast and avoid attracting attention as much as possible. Gearbox's game has no concept of stealth. You can't even hold up enemies.

>It would not be difficult but there's a lot of politics involved. A custom chip created by byuu (already a polarizing figure in the emulation community) despite the best intentions and even despite the open-sourcing of it does create an artificial demand for one very specific flash kart that has the MSU-1 and throws money at byuu with every sale.

>That is only the tip of the iceberg. If you really want such support then use whatever version of higan/bsnes that you wish to use. I'd say bsnes-classic if you have the hardware to handle the strain.

>You're simply wrong. Nightfire is basically The World is Not Enough 2.0, and The World is Not Enough was also awesome. The guns feel good to fire, and the vehicle sections, while the weakest part of the game, are overall fine.
Half the game is outright bad because it's made of terrible vehicle section that are not only easy as hell but not interesting. at all, hell even half of the bond moments are literally "look at that place where no enemies will pop-up so that the enemies have a chance at killing you", the FPS section of the game is mostly stealth which it does well (and way better than the PC version since there it's mostly trial and error with very tight constraints in some places) but the instant you're in a firefight the PC version does way better and that's not just because you get M/KB.since in the PC version you can actually fight several enemies at the same time without having to run for cover and fight like a bitch and the arsenal you get is actually good (even if it honestly feels bad to use) whereas the console version yes the guns feel good to use but they have the effect of a fucking nerf gun unless you headshot or use the two weapons that are good but have extremely limited ammo.

Neither of the other two games nor any of the N64 games for that matter have the problems Nightfire console have because they're not stealth games disguised as shooters, they're shooters with some stealth, Nightfire PC is just a bad shooter because the devs had no idea of how to make firefights impactful and stealth not trial & error.

Both version are mediocre games at best and the sad part is that the GBA port all things considered is a more impressive game than both of those.

Heh, majority of VBA-M was done when I was in college. I am glad that mgba exists though.

I suppose angrylion would.
Morpha exploits 19bit colour operations in the combiner, as well as noise combiners. I suppose Paralle1 could do it to since it does the combiner in compute shaders using ints.

The fuzzy effect at the area where the shadow monster is first discovered also uses the noise mode of combiners.

Can anyone post the image with filters that was puke-inducing?

They're a change of pace. They serve the same purpose as the vehicle sections in Resident Evil 6.

> the instant you're in a firefight the PC version does way better and that's not just because you get M/KB.since in the PC version you can actually fight several enemies at the same time without having to run for cover and fight like a bitch

The combat mechanics of the two are fundamentally different. Gearbox is twitchy, twitchy hitscan - the game.

Here's a basic test. Does strafing sideways prevent all damage? Because it does in Eurocom's Nightfire. Same with Rareware's GoldenEye and Perfect Dark. Combat is like tennis, except you're trying to NOT hit the ball. So in a game like Nightfire, when the shit hits the fan, you're suppose to strafe behind the nearest object and then strafe around to shoot everyone. You can't do that in the PC Nightfire because the AI doesn't do the Rareware-esque "Gee, let me slowly raise my gun and then fire at the position you were a second ago" schtick that defines that entire GoldenEye-inspired FPS subgenre.

Why does everyone seem to ignore the fact GLideN64 can do low level emulation of N64 microcodes? It can run basically everything in "LLE" mode. The problem is it has bugs, and that it runs like shit because Gonetz isn't interested in optimising it. The reason is twofold. One, he's more interested in HLE. Two, improving LLE performance would require stuff like batched rendering, which is what z64gl uses. Batched rendering conflicts with GLideN64's optional accurate N64 depth features, so that's been basically ruled out. Even PJ64's Glide64 can render without HLE microcodes now. Not very well, but it does it.

And as you've probably guessed, the reason it can render without HLE ucodes is because it uses the low level triangle code from z64gl.

You'd be amazed how stupid and lazy most people are. mednafen? _That_ is difficult to use. RetroArch is pie. Delicious, wonderful emulation pie.

>>148843961

emuparadise is safe but unreliable. Forums are much better. And that Hogs of War prolly isn't gonna work- even assuming the dump isn't bad, it needs an SBI file or libcrypt will kick in.

>>148844097
I don't know man. I remember when I wanted to play some Um Jammer Lammy and ePSXe would shit the bed for me. I had to go lurking for better emulators and sure enough Xebra did the work at first, but then I found out about Mednafen and I didn't care about how ass backwards it was to set it up, it worked flawlessly. I just took 10 minutes to learn how to use it.

The priority should be to make it functional, then you can make it convenient all you want. Sure enough I want better playlists (and adding games to playlists through drag and drop) in retroarch, along with being able to choose cores after adding them games, but that's it really. People are asking for a nice interface that does everything with a click of a button. The fuck is the difference between a drop down menu with a mouse and a XMB look alike menu with a gamepad? Are consoles now somehow a pain in the butt to operate with?

>>148844202

His Twitter indicated the person who frequently posts here using the trip " mudlord !DPscUsn9HU" is not him. As for SquarePusher, why the fuck would he even get involved? My issue is not with him or libretro, it's some half-ass shit named Twinaphex selectively backporting on the Beetle core and then acting like all future efforts will be going toward hardware rendering bullshit instead of compatibility fixes.

Squarepusher IS Twinaphex.

Now I'm not saying Dolphin is badly coded, but why does disabling Affinity on cores 0 and 1 of my Quad Core PC make the emulator run faster by maybe about 10-20%? It's an old Core Quad Q9400. What are they doing wrong, multithreading-wise?

The PSP battery is fine. Not sure what you're talking about.

>>148847680
It lasts 2-3 hours, not much to brag about. The PSP got laughed out because of its abysmal lifespan on a full charge back when the system launched, but you're probably too young to remember that.

>>148847990
>It lasts 2-3 hours, not much to brag about.
Depends entirely on usage. It can play videos for several hours, for example. The fact it has an h264 decoding chip capable of basically unlimited bitrates is the reason it's so good at video. The performance when running software generally comes down to clock speed.

>The PSP got laughed out because of its abysmal lifespan on a full charge back when the system launched, but you're probably too young to remember that.

The alternative at the time was the Nintendo DS which was stuck in an awkward performance limbo between the PS1 and N64. The PSP utterly demolishes the DS in terms of battery life, and pays the price.


The stupid side effect of battery life paranoia was that Sony hobbled the native clock speed at 222Mhz, when most PSP games benefit greatly from running at 333Mhz. (CFW allows it to be unlocked.)

It's a very powerful little machine, although it really doesn't hold a candle to the PS2, regardless of what the marketing blurb claimed.

The PS1 is incapable of perspective correction. The DS does it fine. That's a rather significant tech gulf.

For the record, there's a complicating factor with the PSP series.

The PSP1000 has the worst power consumption, but it has a larger battery. Now a sensible engineer would suggest creating a new PSP that is slightly thinner, but has maybe 33% better battery life. Everyone wins.

But no. Thin technology gives customers boners in a way extended battery life (and 3.5mm headphone jacks) cannot. So naturally, Sony made the PSP2000 thin, power efficient, and gave it a shitty, thin battery.

If you want, you can pop a PSP1000 battery in a later model, but there can be complications, and you need a special battery slot cover.

>>148840280

that code is buggy and broken and has been for decades. z64 gl is not fixable.

n64 gpu and gl have tons of differnces which means any naive 1:1 port will have massive differences, leading to all sorts of graphical issues. The only way to do it accurately is throuh compute shaders, and if youre going that route, might as well do it in vulkan since it will be much faster at it thanks to a async compute.

>>148847038

Who said anything about "earning" shit? I just wanna know it's really him. That is not an unreasonable expectation.

Yeah, the PSP was a surprisingly decent portable video player for the time, before tablets. Think I watched a few seasons worth of House on airplanes back then, which was honestly the only times I used the PSP at all. Almost all the games are trash.

For emulation, you generally want it running at the higher clock speeds, and that shit burns through the charge in no time.

Neat piece of tech at the time, doesn't really hold a candle to anything these days.
