Uh, I used mednafen through Retroarch and one of the shaders basically burned scanlines into my monitor. Not just scanlines, but a ghosted image from some random scene in the game. It persisted even when I rebooted and turned the monitor on/odd. It eventually went away on it's own.

>>150370229

I'm having some problems with RA mednafen psx. It seems to run fine but every once and a while, usually 30 seconds or so, it stutters a bit, and seems to lose frames. It's not really noticeable unless I'm recording, which then the effect is somehow amplified in the recording. Here is a test sample I made:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zX2RAyA6h80
take a look at 0:38 and on.
I'm not sure what it is, I thought it was the recording software at first but then I found that using different cores/programs obs worked fine, but with different PSX games using mednafen there was a similar effect. I've been searching for answers for days no and have hit dead ends each time. I'm not sure what to do anymore.

>>150370229
catsfc (it has ear rape audio though)
RealBoy

That's about it really unless you set up VHBL, and even then, PSP emulators weren't known for their incredible accuracy

>>150370613

For gameplay, I recommend getting a slower ship that handles better. At higher levels Wipeout gets too fast. And hit Up on jumps so that you land softer.

>>150370613
That is confusing. i would've said the game+the recorder is generating too much CPU usage but then I would've expected it to happen over and over at the same "high end" places on the track rather than only after a certain amount of time.

Could it have something to do with when obs writes to the hdd vs when mednafen is reading info off it? Maybe not though because I'd expect it to be writing constantly and mednafen to be reading constantly or just putting everything in ram at the start

>>150370961
anon I intend on doing full perfects with icaras on every track. I finished porto kora and began sampa run, but the lagging is a bit noticeable even during gameplay and it bugs the shite out of me, and I fear it will fuck with me times.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deG76vqyias
>>150371079
It is kind of time based, it seems to happen whenever it wants, but only for a certain amount of time. But I don't think it's CPU based either, my CPU never seems to go above 50%

>>150371592
Open Resource Monitor and see if anything spikes during the framerate drops.

>>150370613
Can the emulator record imputs so you dont have to record while you play?

>>150371592

Keep in mind Icarus' namesake.

And are you on Special Edition? They made balance changes, and added around 10 new tracks.

>>150371993
No, I'm on regular for this one, I felt like going back to the OG handling and the 25 fps was going to make these challenges a fucking headache. Plus the classic league tracks are dumb anyways, completely fucked with the lighting of the 2097 tracks.
>>150371968
No idea. Retroarch does have a built-in recording software if that's what you're asking, but I tried it and it didn't seem to work at all.

That's impossible. Mednafen can't increase resolution?

Alright I tried it, but I'm not exactly sure how resource monitor works, and I don't think mine was fully functioning.
What I did notice is that the green disk part, whatever it means, would seemingly spike whenever a stutter phase would begin or end. The blue CPU part at the top was constantly maxxed out as long as the game was running. Those are the only 2 things I noticed while trying to play through the tiny ass OBS preview monitor.

I can't get Ys IV: Dawn of Ys to run in any PSP homebrew emulator I try. Anyone know why?

>>150373940
It's because of whatever Windows theme you've installed that you can see shit.
Anyway, that means it probably is because of HDD writes.

>>150373940
Not him but: Blue are just the maximums it ever hits during that session of monitoring. Greens are what tells you when something is spiking. Also your font color may be the same as your window color there so you can't see the titles and such. From the green disk part spiking I'd say HDD writing or read or the like is causing the problem.

>>150374239
>>150374203
I always knew my HDD was shit. Is there any way to fix this other than just having to buy a new HDD?

>>150374340
Really depends on which is causing the HDD spike and if there are perhaps options in OBS to change when and how it writes data or if you can find other programs that behave differently. If you have multiple HDDs, setting OBS to write to the one mednafen is not using to read the game may help. I find it kind of hard to believe a HDD shouldn't be able to handle this kind of operation. It may be something just being improperly configured for optimal recording.

>>150374340
Maybe decreasing cache size dramatically in OBS would help - make it a constant write of not much data instead of a big dump of more than it can handle. Not good for the HDD to be constantly in use like that, but you're probably gonna want to get a new one soon anyway.

>>150374569
I believe there are options like fast, superfast, andultrafast settings which IIRC sacrifice quality for writing speed, but even at the highest the same thing kept occurring. Unfortunately, I don't have multiple HDDs, but I do have a 1TB external drive if that's worth anything.
>>150374674
Where is that in the options exactly? Can't seem to find it tonight. And yes, I hope to buy a new PC entirely soon. This thing was obsolete like 3 years ago.

>>150374843
You might try having it write to the external as a test to see if it helps. It's possible it might be even worse but just trying it shouldn't be a problem.

So I have no choice but epsxe for higher resolution textures? That sucks. Will mednafen allow higher resolution in the future?

>>150375279
>>150373798

>>150375481
What about those that have higher resolution displays? They're fucked if they fell for the 4k meme too early.

Is there even a remote chance I'd be able to run Melee in Dolphin on an old laptop I received recently? Here's some specs.

CPU: AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2
GPU: RS690M (Radeon Xpress 1200 series)
RAM: ~2GB
OS: Lubuntu 15.04

I've considered switching over to Windows XP, though I'm not sure if that would help.

>>150378145
While I don't think that you can run Melee well enough with it (maybe something like 30 - 40fps, you'd have to try), you shouldn't switch to XP since it isn't supported anymore. And security is a nightmare on that.
Also, it takes more resources than Lubuntu so chances that it runs are even slimmer, if you were to switch.

>>150378145
>CPU: AMD
Forget about it. I would switch out of *buntu, but if you like it, then you might as well continue there. Also, why not try it and see if it works? I had an AMD shit dual core on the laptop several years ago and it did some emulation. I didn't try Dolphin at the time however.

>>150378145
There's different models of that CPU, so can't really say. But Melee isn't all that hard to emulate so may as well give it a try.

New 3DS screen is great because it's got a 240p screen so the games scale perfectly to it.

The Vita screen obviously is not 240p, so you'll have black bars with integer scaling, but it has really vivid colours which are nice.

Both are good for their own reasons

However, in terms of emulation quality, the N3DS is leagues ahead of the Vita, but that's to be expected because the 3DS has had Retroarch for a lot longer, and a 807mhz CPU compared to the Vita's 444mhz.

PocketSNES can run most of the library and special chip games like Super Mario RPG, Kirby Super Star, Yoshi's Island, and Star Fox at full speed, and catsfc-plus can play the fringe games PocketSNES can't. Both also have non-ear rape audio

On the Vita, the only SNES core ported to Retroarch so far is the catsfc core, not catsfc-plus. The difference between the two is that catsfc has ear rape audio. catsfc also can't do special chip games. Barring Retroarch, there's also a port of SNES9x called SNES9x-Vita. It can't even run Super Metroid at full speed so it's not relevant.

I know the N3DS has 4 cores. If we take remove one for dedicated system usage, that means there are 3 cores dedicated to non-system running at 268MHz for a "combined" total of 804MHz.

Compare this to the Vita's quad core, once again excluding one for dedicated system, for three cores maxing at 444MHz by default.

How do you figure the N3DS is faster? Or am I missing something?

>>150407474
It's for control configurations that are using a binary input like a button for a controller function that needs to be analog. So you can press the configured button and it goes to analog 100%, but press it along with the Modifier button and it'll simulate analog 50%.

>>150412190
Eh, looked it up. Seems it's specifically an overlock for the N3DS.

>>150412190
The 3DS has a dual core CPU that runs at a speed of 268 MHz

The New 3DS has a quad core CPU that runs at a speed of 807 MHz

The Vita has a quad-core CPU that runs at a speed of 444 MHz in userland homebrew.

>>150412645
um what? So all this time people bitching about no homebrew on vita shouldve just gotten a 3ds instead?

>>150413227
OLED screen

>>150413303
Early n3DS's had OLED screens though.

>>150413227
Theoretically, the Vita should be able to do everything the New 3DS can do plus PSX and PSP games, and minus DS games. The Vita also has a much more powerful GPU, and the most popular way to code emulators for the PSP was to offload some of the emulation to the GPU, which might be the route the Vita ends up taking, which might make it better than the New 3DS. It's just going to take a lot of time.

>>150413359
New 3DS's either have TN screens (high probability) or IPS screens (low probability).

No New 3DS' ever came with OLED screens.

>>150412645
Do you have a source for the New 3DS CPU speed?

I'm checking several myself (including 3dbrew) and they seem to tip-toe around the wording. They say the system/entire CPU is running around that (which would be around the three free cores for games running at 268MHz), not individual cores being clocked at ~800MHz each.

I'm not a lingo master, but this seems to imply they're upselling it. For instance, you wouldn't say a 2GHz dual-core desktop CPU is 4GHz.

I'm having trouble wrapping my head around it.

>>150414026

Adding up the CPU the frequencies of individual cores doesn't make any sense anyway. Do people really do that?

>>150414114
It seems really convenient to me if people were trying to make the specs seem better than a certain competitor.

I'm just looking for clarification.

>>150414202

Yeah obviously, I should've thought about that. Like the bit war of old.

>>150414281

Yeah that looks pretty conclusive, it's not like 800MHz is a high frequency for a modern embedded CPU anyway, even budget smartphone have GHz CPUs.

>>150411535
OLED burn it meme. I still have a Galaxy S2 with the screen intact, but I guess it's just an outlier.

>>150427891
Until you put CFW on it and force the L2 cache and 804 MHz for every game. Then it reduces a hell of a lot of lag.

But yeah, if you have no intentions of modding it, the only thing it has going for it is the built in C-Nub

>>150427891

"worth" it? A 800MHz CPU is not exactly expensive in 2016. The Galaxy S III smartphone had a quadcore 1.4GHz CPU in 2012.

Why is there such a big difference in size between the 2 Riviera PSP ISOs on emuparadise?

>>150430437

>>150431113

My point was that it was probably a no brainer for them, a 800MHz CPU probably doesn't cost a whole lot more than a 200MHz CPU these days, might as well use that and downclock it for backward compat.

>>150431113
I'm sure Nintendo had bigger plans for the New 3DS before it was hacked day 1.

I'm convinced that the reason they're so silent on anything Wii U and 3DS related is because they're ready to abandon the dead Wii U and completely blown open 3DS for new pastures with the NX

>>150430871
extra languages, audio doesn't compress well, etc.

is emulation still illegal?

Any decent frontend that is compatible with retroarch? Yeah I know, frontend of a frontend of sorts. I'm just not feeling it with a library of games presented the way xmb shows them even with thumbnails. Rather have something like a grid, know what I mean?

>>150431419
I can't believe Nintendo actually bases its decisions on what to do with consoles based on when they're cracked

>>150431419
Since when have console manufacturers had "bigger plans" for their consoles? As soon as they release one console they're already starting work on the next. That's how they make money, and game developers love it because people will rush out to buy new games, not to mention they can milk more cash out of their old games with trivial HD texture swaps.

>>150434661

He's probably overthinking it but it's true that console vendors can decide to focus the development on one console for one reason or an other. See the aborted Sonic on Saturn for instance.

If Nintendo doesn't believe in the Wii U anymore (why would they?) it might make sense for them to delay some projects to target the NX instead if it means higher profits down the road.

>>150432641

That's excluding the memory card, which you'll need despite it having 1GB internal storage.

The cell cpu is a very specifically designed set of vector processors with a master control PowerPC core

Not only does it have a relatively unique design compared to x86 it has an instruction set which is radically different. This all has to be emulated, and while creating a real time compiler for instruction execution is much easier and less taxing (IF you have full programming documentation) even that is a large hurdle. Figuring out exactly how to handle the complex custom hardware and how they interact, their busses, caches, and so on is a whole other level of shit you dont want to get into. Emulating hardware is at a literally speaking level using non-native hardware and instructions to mimic the devic on a physical level. It isnt and wont be "transistor" level emulation by any stretch of imagination, hell even PS2 emulation struggles to reach that kind of parity. We're lucky enough that a few very dedicated people have been able to create a ridiculously hacky version which can get past the boot screen in ten years.

When done right, using newer APIs or instruction sets can help with things like performance. Using vulkan to take advantage of async compute is one example. Considering HLE is not designed to be super accurate, modern APIs are usually not necessary.

However, i think GLideN64 was done poorly. It still uses floating point instead of integer... And also doesn't even fix Body Harvest collision..

I think a big reason why people are rushing to up the requirements is because they don't know better.

I wouldn't trust it but it might be fine

The DX9 plugin is not functionally equivalent to the OGL and DX11 ones. They're not slower because they're programmed differently, they're slower because they do more.

Also your suspicions about new APIs being slower have no basis in reality.

Don't care about whether it does more or less. All that matters to me is that DX9 is factually faster.

>>150475675
Aren't those old builds?

Embarrassing.

It's just an example from years ago. I use the latest Ishiiruka now.

um wtf I'm trying to play a psp game in retroarch but it just freezes at a blank screen.

>>150476558
Probably actually best to use stand alone PPSSPP; RA's PSP core hasn't been updated in a long time AFAIK

>>150476624
does it have dynamic rate control?

They have the same broken scene roms as everyone else. Example:

>>150478045
I can clue you in on the reason no one cares: because no one gives a shit if BEN 10 ALIEN FORCE is broken. They only care about important games. Probably like 1 in 20000 people who play the game will do so for more than 5 minutes

Emulation on Windows 10: Not Even Once.

I'm playing Shenmue on DEMUL, I have aspect ratio set to 4:3 but on boot it's 16:9. When I windows key+d or alt+tab out it goes to 4:3, when then first alt-enter = window 16:9, 2nd alt-enter = fullscreen 16.9.

Any tips to force 4:3 aspect? Or does DEMUL suck? Better emulator?

Like it or not, think about it or not, silly or not--the software you use has a deep and meaningful impact on your life. Choose open source software for all your emulation needs.

How do I force mame to attempt the games native resolution at full screen?

>>150478224
No doubt. I have zero desire to play it. I just want a full set.

Embrace PGXP.

Isn't that kind of impractical though? Why download something you'll never use?

Anyone know of how I can find and contact the author? I'm having a serious problem with MAMEUI64 and need to find him since no one else seems to know the solution to my problem.

As someone who embraces muh HD, something about this just seems wrong. I'm used to PS1 having those texture distortions. It almost feels wrong without them.
