A plugin-based one. It's the result of using a bad setting in PeteOpenGL2Tweak.

For modded Wii, which is the better SNES emulator out of RetroArch and SNES9xGX?

I'll inject where possible but that won't cover everything

>>152104798

dey da same nigga

>>152104798
snes9x-next is a port specifically optimized for the Wii within Retroarch. I use it and it runs everything I throw at it at full speed, like Super Mario RPG, Kirby Super Star, and Yoshi's Island. If you don't want to use Retroarch, Snes9x GX is pretty much the same thing. The only difference is that Retroarch can run at native 240p resolutions.

>>152105926
Cool thanks. The three games you mentioned are the main ones that come to mind where injection isn't possible.
Full speed and 240p will be great. Did retroarch implement pointer control for mouse/light gun?

So running PCSX-PGXP and it's pretty awesome but I notice no matter what I do it applies a blur to some textures? For instance, when playing Chrono Cross the character profile art is smeared and looks pretty ugly. Can this be helped at all or is it just something you have to deal with?

Don't have a screen of the problem I'm talking about here but it looks great outside of that.

How do you set up PCSX2 for games that natively support 16:9?

Do you just set the console to 16:9 in the OS and then set the game to 16:9, or do you need to change the emulator aspect ratio as well?

If the game natively supports 16:9 this is exactly what you don't do, you set the game to 16:9 ingame and you switch the PCSX2 aspect ratio to 16:9 with either the keyboard shortcut or via the emulation settings > GS window menu

I should have known.

>>152125754
Yeah I glanced over the question thought it was about general widescreen hacks. Though it should be noted that there are a few PS2 games that crop to 16:9, or even stretch, so it might be best to use hacks anyway, depending on the game.

>>152128419
I guess I understand the point of retropad but using an xboxone pad took me a while to get used to figuring out what was where on a retropad.

Why can't they just have layouts that recognize what controller you're using or just download templates for your controller or something. At least for the most popular ones like Xbone/360/DS4/DS3

>>152105926
>The only difference is that Retroarch can run at native 240p resolutions.

snes9xGX does 240p as well, it was actually implemented long before retroarch wii even existed

>>152106971
>Did retroarch implement pointer control for mouse/light gun?

No.

>>152128752
To be fair, as hinted by his post, RetroPad is just an abstraction layer.

Cores can reliably map to their RetroPad equivalent by default before handed over to the user for further customization.

This is why PS1 games work fine despite O being "A" on the RetroPad initially and in the menu, the core is remapping it by default.

I don't think templates/popular remaps are a good idea since nobody is ever fucking happy (surprise) and they'll still be complaining.

For instance on my Vita I swapped A/B for GBA for A to be on X and B on O. But for 3-button Genesis games I leave them alone (Square A, X B, O C).

The winning move is not to acknowledge the complaints, let them complain among themselves, and hope they find their own solution.

>>152129114
Well put.

>>152129114
yeah once they added remapping (now called controls on quick menu) most of my concerns were removed.

the only issue that remains there is analog remapping

>>152129202
Yeah the TLDR is:

I think the frustration comes from the fact he knows he is not capable of designing and implementing a better, more user friendly solution.

>>152130390

It's perfect as it is. It is not trying to be your regular emulator, it never did.

>>152130390

I actually prefer RA's consistency across multiple devices now instead of literally who's totally sick and cool fully featured front end for one device, and something different for another.

>>152131445
>perfect

It would be perfect if Retropad "abstraction" layer was actually transparent to end-user (it is really only useful to cores and frontends developer) and the frontend would directly show to end-user the host system input controller buttons when remapping core controller.

Can someone explain how showing this layer and having to remap a virtual gamepad to both host and emulated controllers is actually a good thing for end-user? I really don't get it, especially for console RA users where the host controller is generally fixed.

>>152132981
Fuck the end user.

>>152130390
>Sony, Nintendo et co all do this with their respective ports, and I don't see it being brought up as a minus there.

Seriously, he cannot see the difference?
How can someone be so much deluded?

>>152130390
Is that you WIMP poster kun

>>152133125
Not SP (:^)) but explain the difference.

Sony allows controller remapping only for PS1 games only on the PSP or Vita. There are no remap options on say, the PS3 or PSTV where a regular controller is available.

To my knowledge, RA's per-core/game remapping options are no different than Sony's other than the abstraction layer. Sony's implementation is literally [actual hardware button] > [simulated hardware button].

So is the abstraction layer the problem? [actual hardware button] > [retropad] > [core button]?

32KB, 476x588px

>>152133213
Nah, he's not me. I don't have too much of a problem with Retropad besides maybe the button names* because there's not much else one can do when one has to support 999 systems and their various controllers at once.

*due to the names being the same as an existing controller and this messing with the user's ability to internalize that it is an abstraction and not 1:1 for SNES or Xbox360 pads or other systems which use XYAB

>>152133419
Seems like it'd be best to have an option that toggles how the abstraction layer works.

One state would be what it is now.

The other, enabled by default, would hide it and map it 1:1 with the detected gamepad (or just revert to the first state if cannot be determined or keyboard). In this state, the abstraction would be hidden almost entirely. Remapping would be done purely at the core level and the input labels would read for the current gamepad.

Seems fixed to me. Old timers can keep their current setup and new users won't have anything to complain about.

>>152133540
I think SP would actually be better off using PlayStation as his retropad naming schema, since it doesn't have the confusion of the XB>YA reversal when you're dealing with Nintendo vs Xbox. At least with PS if the user has ever used a PS system before, he knows what button means what. It would have to be careful to call X cross rather than X though

>>152133540
Interesting his RetroPad concept uses L/R2/3 instead of L/RT/S

What the fuck are you guys talking about?

RA has listed the actual buttons for controllers with autoconfigs for like over 6 months now.

How is this still an issue?

>>152134008
Although to be fair the Xbox terminology is overly complicated for the sake of it. Left bumper, left trigger, left stick.

>>152133419
>Sony allows controller remapping only for PS1 games only on the PSP or Vita. There are no remap options on say, the PS3 or PSTV where a regular controller is available.

Well, the point is that they actually DO it for PSP or Vita. Off course they don't do it for their home systems where the native controller has EXACTLY the same layout as the emulated controller.

> RA's per-core/game remapping options are no different than Sony's other than the abstraction layer

I think the problem is actually that abstraction laye, which is confusing for a lot of users and therefore would better be "hidden" by the frontend to them.

The problem is not about being able to remap buttons to your controller or not, like you say some ports do it and a few doesn"t when the host/target controllers are the same. But meanwhile, the majority of emulators let you do this so there is definitively a demand for it and you will be stupid to dismiss it because it doesn't suite your original design scheme or force you re-doing something you don't wan't to touch

>>152134154
works for me

>>152134154
I'd actually prefer Sony allow remapping despite the similar controller layout.

Megaman Legends on PS1 has tank controls and is weirdly mapped in general. Playing it on my handheld Vita with remapping, I got a really playable layout at the cost of being able to dodge/roll easily. I would never want to play this with original controls.

If you can't make the discrete emulation sound as good as the sample, the smart thing to do would be, wait until it's actually perfect, and only THEN replace it. Maybe then you'd have something to show for the fact you now need to bring a fucking Skylake to the table to play shitty Donkey Kong from 1980.

>>152157763

what you gotta realize is that mame isn't mainly for consumers, it's for archival. they don't care if your pc isn't powerful enough, their goal is accuracy and preservation.

>Then fork it and show the world how much better you can do.
Why? So people can cry about how "unclean" or "unmaintainable" my code is?

I'm not that interested in any arcade games, so I have no real reason to fork their crap. Their console emulators for any consoles I'm interested in are garbage, from what I've seen and heard (Dreamcast, PS1, Saturn, and N64). I was very disappointed after I decided to look at MAME's code in hopes of improving other emulators.

>>152158734
You can do it in your new super rad optimized extreme fork.

>>152158863
Then you just want to be a whiny cunt and not make anything better. Please just go off yourself. If you cant accomplish that then just sit quietly and pretend you know anything about emulators.

How the hell do I format my dreamcast memory card in Reicast Retroarch?

>>152159176
>Then you just want to be a whiny cunt and not make anything better
I'd rather fork other emulators (which I currently do btw). If I want to improve PS1 emulation, I'll fork mednafen. If I want to improve saturn, i'll fork mednafen or yabause. If you're telling me MAME has remotely useful code for these systems, please prove it.

>Please just go off yourself.

Why would you play that in a computer emulator? If you're going with the PC version then it's only logical to go with the steam version and 60fps patch at the least.

Yeah. It's not necessary for function, but certainly easier on the eyes. The only downside is that some moves are sped up, which in my opinion is an improvement given the game.

On that note, I still cannot find any patch to round/fade shadows like the PS1 version does. They're all one solid semi-transparent circle/oval with flat edges. Some guy here was complaining about that like a year or two ago.

<Twinaphex> meanwhile
<Twinaphex> his latest higan release
<Twinaphex> fixes an SA-1 IRQ regression
<Twinaphex> which hasn’t been in SNES9x since 2005
<Twinaphex> now if that isn’t a big-ass regression
<Twinaphex> I don’t know what is

<Twinaphex> that happens when you get SA-1 IRQ handling fucked up
<a> And at the same time he keeps trash talking bsnes-mercury :/
<Twinaphex> well
<Twinaphex> at this point
<Twinaphex> the people who keep believing his nonsense
<Twinaphex> deserve everything they get
<Twinaphex> what’s the point in fighting his disinfo?
<Twinaphex> the dude is a joke
<Twinaphex> and irrelevant
<Twinaphex> the best thing to do from now on is just ignore this guy
<Twinaphex> he served his usefulness - bsnes
<Twinaphex> beyond that he doesn’t have much to offer to the world anymore
<a> Welp, reddit loves him for some reason
<Twinaphex> so let him continue this increasing irrelevance
<Twinaphex> well - reddit is an echo chamber
<Twinaphex> it might look that way
<Twinaphex> but honestly
<Twinaphex> that subreddit gets barely 82 people
<Twinaphex> there is more users than that on the libretro forums at times
<Twinaphex> if you go to byuu’s board, there is no more than 1 or 2 or 3 persons available at times
<Twinaphex> these guys are turning nicher than niche
<Twinaphex> it’s just a big echo chamber of the same lonely guys all meeting up every night over there
<Twinaphex> I mean Jim Jones was niche too

Far from "holding back emulation", the guy worked on his project, he gets to do whatever he wants with his work.

At 'best', they copy paste shit from every project, then incorporate it and brag about how much attosecond timers are doing for them (well, the two or three people who might actually know how their MAME architecture actually works, according to AWJ)

I had no idea about that, and if that's the case then I'll backtrack a bit. But even so, it's his own work.

>>152184148
Everyone already knows emulation comes mostly from leaked documentation from various sources, with some manageable amounts of RE done to cover the gaps in those docs.

Then it transpires later on you were just faking the funk and you got your hands on some internal docs/SDKs and got to the stage you were at.

Then Sega would be feeling justifiably miffed over paying some dude huge sums of money over stuff he illegally obtained in the first place.

Mednafen provides better accuracy/compatibility compared to epsxe (and any other PS1 emu). However, it doesn't have a graphical user interface which makes it near unusable.

Use RetroArch (which uses mednafen), it covers pretty much everything up until GameCube/PS2.

>Use RetroArch

Nightly. Stable builds are just randomly chosen nightlies and are outdated.

n-now what do i do

>>152200719

Those are cores, i.e. the emulators. You need to download Retroarch itself, which is the shell/frontend.

okay now I just feel like a dumbass
what do

also thanks for putting up with me

>>152198751
Download 1.3.6 stable, then download a nightly version to copy its executable over it.

Then go into the core updater and download cores, or get them directly from the buildbot and unzip them into the cores directory.

>>152202228

What did you download? It should have been like 80MB

>>152202228
Are you using Windows XP? That looks like an error caused by using a function that does not exist in XP's msvcrt.dll

>>152203380
Yeah, I am. What should I do about it?

>>152200719

i've only been able to get 1.2.2 to run on xp

>>152203610
Use 32-bit 1.3.4 or otherwise get a 32-bit build that doesn't include the Vulkan driver. It appears that Vulkan is not XP friendly.

It was defragging an emulated HDD. PCem is way more complete than the hacky attempt to get windows working on dosbox. It's more than just a meme and actually plays old vidya.

>>152206510
fuck me, the PC version of Croc works tolerably?

Looks like I'm installing PCem. The PSX version's polygon jitter makes it almost unplayable.

>>152206895
Works full speed using windows 98 and the voodoo emulation. Currently running on a i7-2600 for reference.

Not use Windows XP holy shit jesus fucking christ

Does this run the PC version of Metal Gear Solid?

Guys, I haven't found an answer to this anywhere. Can retroarch on wii run shaders?

>>152208192
I try it if I can find a fast download of it. Currently getting 15kb/s.

>Look for old pc games on emupardise, not expecting much but I mean how much can you fuck up pc games?
>Everything has music/fmv's etc. ripped out to save space

That shithole needs to be taken out back and shot already.

>>152209785
why don't try it yourself fag
>>152209978
too bad there aren't many alternatives

>GUI frontend
>A/V frontend

Why can't we keep these terms consistent instead of mixing them?

>>152206895

Install PGXP

>>152210991
>GUI frontend
Launcher, or just GUI depending on what you're talking about.
>A/V frontend
Frontend.

There, simple.

bump.

>>152165860
don't listen to that noob.
in FBA roms and bios.. are roms, think of it as a parent rom, put everything in the same folder and it just werks.

I've been playing on my Wii for some time, but now I've tried the VC release of Super Mario RPG and it only shows a black screen, while making my Wiimote unable to sync with the console.

What should I do?

>>152216123

That 3DS or NDS picross is so ugly. The PS1, and GBA ones looked so much neater.

>>152197795
>It says it's recommended

Fixed.

Would x3 internal res + CRT shader be the best combo?

Emulators on Vita wiki page when?

It's quickly surpassing the PSP, save the adoption rate and lack of OpenGL, with RetroArch alone.

>>152224528
Is there a comprehensive list of emulators on Vita somewhere? If so I can probably hash out an article for the wiki in a little while.

>>152225027
There's currently a dedicated thread maintained on GBAtemp (same thread SP is posting in).

I'm not saying plagiarize, but currently that's the most recent and "accurate" (based on user reports) group of information.

As for individual/standalones, the subforum itself also houses the releases.

>>152208192
It seems to lock up when trying to test the GPU or first start-up.

>>152225172
Also worth mentioning until completely deprecated, most PSP homebrew emulators are also accessible alongside native Vita ones via VHBL but have the same limitations as the PSP except for Vita-specific enhancements like right analog mapping and bilinear filtering.

>>152225084
I'm looking at that post now. It's confusing, though. Some sources are saying CPS1/CPS2/Neo Geo games run 60fps but further down they say both FB Alpha and MAME don't load.

>>152165031
Will recaptcha make a CDi emu next? I tried playing the Faces of Evil on MESS (and it was actually pretty fun) but I had to stop because it was glitchy as fuck.

>>152227061
I don't use them but I think SP mentioned something about them being individual cores?

Like in the OP there's fba2012, fba2012_cps1/cps2/neo.

>>152227296
oh god i hope not
i really nope she saves n64 or dreamcast emulation next, cd-i is a waste of time

>>152182752
Is he saying that recent Higan couldn't play Super Mario RPG, one of the most mainstream games on SNES? Wouldn't someone else besides him have noticed and slapped byuu's shit?

Works the second time.

Playable from what I can tell.

>>152228068
Quite a bit brighter than the PS1 version.

>>152228369
Quite a bit straighter too.
