Emulation General - /emugen/

Devs that work on their projects full time must be unemployed, and that's bad because only losers are unemployed, am I right?

>>151198406
Software rendering > hardware rendering. More accurate and compatible.

>>151198406

Doesn't change the fact that bettle-psx has lower compatibility than mednafen

>>151198850
That's why Software rendered 2x resolution is preferred.

>>151198932
Yes, because otherwise there would be no point.

I haven't kept up with emulation in awhile, how is DS emulation these days? Is it possible to have each screen on a separate monitor? Having both screens crammed into one monitor seems silly.

But the whole point is to NOT be a tradeoff. ePSXe and its ilk have been one massive tradeoff since the beginning and beetle-psx is the chance to have bug free emulation AND the extras, something the psx emulation scene has been missing.

Which would be a fair point if SP were being honest about his dev decisions regarding Beetle in the first place. He isn't, so all arguments start with massive false assumptions on behalf of the arguing side.

>>151237194
So basically SP is only integrating features he can easily throw in to try to lure ePSXe people away and into using RA?

>>151234331
Mednafen isn't bug-free, fixing the remaining games doesn't appear to be a priority for now.

By definition Beetle cannot be bug free either, on top of that it might have a handful of bug of it's own..

>>151236936
I'd be more inclined to take her word for it, if she optimized mednafen to the point where toasters can run it at full speed. Even byuu said it's possible to double the speed of his emu.

Anyone use LaunchBox?
I wish it would open more quickly, not whinge about needing an update every day, and not provide pop up info windows. I just want it to open like a regular desktop folder.

I hear you can emulate GoldenEye with mouse support and 60fps. Is this easy to do?

>>151238030
>fixing the remaining games doesn't appear to be a priority for now.
She should fix FF7-8

>>151237824

I think some of the features he refuses to backport he literally doesn't understand. He cannot ascertain what the goddamn code is doing, much less apply it to his own now rapidly diverging codebase.

Which would've been fine, had he just cleanported mednafen-PSX and then left it the fuck alone (let Simias do his little HW-rendering magic, polish it up real nice and fancy).

But noooooo...

>>151238765
What's wrong with them?

>>151238402

byuu has very little credibility left in the general emulation scene. While the masses yet worship him (or regard him as a genius fallen to madness), people "in-the-know" have raised many interesting and thoughtful challenges to both his overall truthfulness and general competence.

Some remaining mednafen-PSX bugs can indeed be fixed, but there is a core chunk of like, 5 or 6 (one them quite serious, as I recall) that require Ryphecha actually going in and emulating the hardware pipeline step by fucking step. Not only will that vastly increase CPU requirements (perhaps to unacceptable levels), some of the damn reverse-engineering has yet to be completed on her end.

And reverse engineering fucking sucks, my man. It sucks the rigid cock of Satan.

>>151238952
Some of that code he refuses to backport is because it's C++11 crap that needlessly increases compiler requirements. It would need to be rewritten to not shit up the compiler compatibility and he doesn't feel like doing it because it's too little gain for what it's worth.

If you want a "cleanport", nothing is stopping you from doing it. It's open source after all. Especially since you seem to think you're better at this than SP.

>>151238765
>>151239073

Nothing, once again a user has confused Beetle with mainline mednafen-PSX. Those are fixed (or were never broken, I can't seem to ascertain which from the Gitfeed alone) in mainline, broken in Beetle.

>>151239635

>Especially since you seem to think you're better at this than SP.

There are no sacred cows in emulation.

>>151239671
They're not broken in Beetle either.

inb4 some autist brings up that extremely minor flickering bug in one obscure area that can't be returned to, because obviously that breaks the whole game.

>>151240054
>Who cares it's good enough :^)

The ZSNES mentality, everyone.

>>151240161
You might have had a point if we were talking about badly broken games. But we're talking about differences stuff like that Shougi game or missing shadows some air plane game that no one cared about until byuu mentioned it. Literally the extreme edge cases of emulation.

>>151240161

Why won't you cater to his special pleading? ;-;

>>151240465

>I don't care

>This means that no one else cares

>>151239508
>Not only will that vastly increase CPU requirements (perhaps to unacceptable levels)
Not worth it. Just fix the one really serious bug and let the minor bugs be if it means better performance.

>>151239508
>people "in-the-know" have raised many interesting and thoughtful challenges to both his overall truthfulness
Do you have any examples?

>And reverse engineering fucking sucks, my man. It sucks the rigid cock of Satan.
Why is that? Sounds like fun to me, desu senpai. Only thing stopping me is time/money.

I get that accurate emulation requires more horse power, but i feel that the vast majority of devs do not give it their all, when it comes to optimizing their code. Many devs think clean code > optimized code.. Ryphecha could be right, but I'd like to see what cycle accurate code would look like, before I come to the conclusion that it's not possible to get full speed with.

>>151240729
Or at least have an option like bsnes had, where there could be a Mednafen-PSX-Accuracy and a Mednafen-PSX-Performance or something like that.

Shadow of Colossus for people without high end rigs...just trying to figure out what to put on my HD so I can play those games without fuss.

Alright, regarding my keyboard inputs not working with MAME, and I think I'm getting close to the issue-

I made some changes in my nVidia control panel based on recommended settings for MAME (G-Sync user), which used to work perfectly fine before, but now, after these changes, the keyboard inputs won't respond when a game is loaded, but the joypad works perfectly fine. I don't know if it's an nVidia issue or a MAME issue....

It must have something to with the nVidia graphics settings. When I remove the profile from program settings. it suddenly works. Is there anyone else i can report this problem to? I dunno if this only affects this version of MAME or what.

I realize no one here cares about G-Sync let alone MAME, but whatever.

>>151245971
Should also mention that I got SMB working but I'm on a laptop so I'd rather just install all the games I can't easily emulate with PCSX2 onto an HDD in one go.

>Is it possible to have each screen on a separate monitor?

Both screens have to stay in the same window, but you could still set up your monitors right to get it to work.

Though only on OSX for whatever reason there is actually an option to split the screens into different windows.

Also I guess you could use RA with netplay and custom viewports, but that would be really convoluted and would be a huge waste of CPU power.

>>151251406
Not really relevant, unless you're running something really underpowered neither is gonna have problems.

What can you not run mednafen?

>>151249238
just annoying to have to install stuff to hd (all the programs to do it over network are way outdated and dont' seem to work on my system) and I also have a projector set up in the attic for retro stuff but it's a pain running cables all the way up there and wi-fi sucks.

I have a big enough hd to install games I'd like to be able to take with me places as well as stuff to play in the attic so it's no big deal. My laptop has tons of stuff attatched to it so I try not to move it too much either-I don't want to run a cable all the way downstairs to it and I'd rather not have to move it every time I want to play stuff on the SMB network. Also too lazy right now to try to see if I can get a hacked pogoplug or something as a portable server for it.

Most stuff runs pretty well even on my laptop, but software mode sucks with any settings. Doesn't look much better than the PS2 on the projector and most games with mipmapping aren't stuff i need to fast forward through (one of my many big reasons for emulating...I'm looking at you, every Dragon Quest game).

>>151251886

Mednafen is probably more accurate and doesn't have the stupid disc anti-piracy shit. Also it's free™ software.

>>151250570
What's the advantage of doing that?

Without that pci saturn gpu thing it's a software renderer, which I imagine is a fixed resolution that's lower than the original's 352x224 and probably runs like shit.

Not to mention it's probably a nightmare to get running on current hardware.

I'm new to this whole thing and I've got PCSX2 running fine, now I just want my games to look nicer, how do I got about that? Do I need specific patches for specific games or are there just plugins that make things look sharper?

>[Glide64] need per-frame FB for puzzle pieces
What does that mean? What do I need to change?

>>151262240

IIRC it means that you need a framebuffer sync at every frame if you want the puzzle pieces to display correctly in the transitions. That's because the puzzle piece are computed on the CPU by accessing the GPU FB so it needs to be in sync when that happens.

Not that you should need a 960 to emulate ps2 without jaggies anyway.

>>151267571
My screen only does 1080p though. 6x native is pointless.

>>151268717
The 960 is too weak to pull 6x reliably though, a 97/980 is way more likely to do that minus a few outlier.

>>151277352
I don't see how you're getting a bad FR on a 3210m. Only thing I can guess is your laptop is on a mode where it's saving power and thus throttling the full power of the CPU. Go to power options and try to stop it from doing that and plug the laptop in.

exophase is a good coder, you can't really deny that. (his work on gpsp for psp was impressive considering the previous results weren't great. if you ever played gba games on psp you'd probably used something he made)

problem is he is a greedy kike who won't port drastic to pc mostly because he want's the emudev money to flow (plus it's clsoed source, so it's not like it can help with demsune).

i wouldn't mind that much if he just pulled an epxe and kept the android version payware and made a free pc version. but it's not likely

Are save states good enough to use all the time? I really like not having to fiddle around in menus every time I load up a game, but I don't want to lose all my progress suddenly.

>>151303207
As long as you don't use them to cheat. i.e, only make save states at points in the game where you'd be allowed to save anyways.

Drastic on vita when?

>>151303792
I just save whenever I'm done playing?

What I meant was, are they prone to breaking or bugs or anything? I know they don't transfer across emulator builds sometimes but that's not such a big deal to me, I rarely update.

>>151304519

Mixing regular saves and savestates can be a bit risky since you can end up in weird situations. And yeah, savestates can break easily, for instance if you update your emulator.

If you only savestate like an "hibernation" of sorts, i.e. you savestate when you're done playing the game and you only reload the save once to resume your game you should be mostly fine, however I'd recommend using a regular save from time to time just in case, especially if you're about to update the emulator or something like that.

I personally only use savestates for testing purposes or for old games which don't support saving at all otherwise. If start menus bother me I just enable full speed mode to speed things up a bit.

Games have different requirements for your CPU on PS2. Something like SotC or ZoE are far more demanding than something like FFX or Disgaea. Disgaea may be the least demanding game, or at least it is what comes to mind anyway. Mid tier is simply games in between the extremes.

Are you kidding me nigga? Maybe if you're talking strictly in emulation terms it's probably mid tier since emulators aren't that multi threaded. For outside stuff it's almost close to mid tier, but not on it. 750Ti is on the same boat, except that it's a very low tier tier card. Take my computer as an example, this is mid tier hardware.

>>151339909
Ok anon, you could run just about anything with shittier hardware, but that doesn't mean you're running it as best as you can. 750Ti shits itself on Witcher 3 unless you turn everything down and even then, you're not going to get good fps.

the x70 series is near unanimously viewed as mid-tier at release and it falls from there. Stop being poor.

Always was.

Unironically it does if you follow the wiki.

>>151341018
Then why aren't there enough higher tiers? Does a 990 or a 1090 even exist?

6x rendering is just wasting gpu power for the most part, going above 3x(this removes shimmering for the most part) for anything but screenshots is stupid. FXAA cleans up the remaining aliasing on still frames and does not blur anything at all since PS2 games have low amounts of detail. And you should be sharpening your games regardless.

>Very high details, pure hair on, HBAO+

Doesn't sound like mid tier settings to me, broseph

>>151341509
why would someone with a 750ti even think of running that at highest settings

>>151341487
x80ti and Titans

>>151341509

Rise of the Tomb Raider gave us good Lara rape porn.

That is the only good thing to come of its existence.

You're wasting your salary playing video games. Go out to a nice restaurant and order a good steak dinner. It's better than seeing a shitty tribble A video game at its highest settings.

>1080p. around 45 fps on gta v
Should be able to 60fps on GTA V on a 750ti. Haven't played Witcher 3 yet.
>>151340005
>750Ti is on the same boat, except that it's a very low tier tier card.
Anything more powerful than current gen consoles is at least mid tier.
