/emugen/ - Emulation General

emulation is a meme

Why is Dragon Quest VIII listed as both a very CPU and GPU intensive game? Doesn't seem like it would be.

How do I get games to boot straight to the emulator/core without opening up RetroArch?

>>153064340
Because it is

>>153067420
retroarch -h

>>153067918
but why tho

>>153069329
What?

Any way to increase emulated VMU size for dreamcast on demul?

I updated retroarch and mednafen doesn't recognize my old memory cards anymore. What could be causing that?

>>153070195
Change in folder location. Check your directories for retroarch.

>>153070309
I moved the memory cards from the system directory to the appropriate one (saves), it still doesn't work.

>>153070423
Odd, mine worked after an update. What version did you update from/to?

>>153070423
Uh, now it does, weird.

>>153069652
Open a command prompt in your RA folder, type
>retroarch_debug -h
and press Enter. It should give you all the info you need to make shortcuts or whatever.

I forgot that you have to use debug on windows because idiots like you couldn't figure out how to use the -D option.

>>153067420
Like this:
<command>C:\Users\Jacob\Documents\Emulators\Retroarch\retroarch.exe -L C:\Users\Jacob\Documents\Emulators\Retroarch\cores\genesis_plus_gx_libretro.dll "%ROM_RAW%" -f</command>

>>153070526
>I forgot that you have to use debug on windows because idiots like you couldn't figure out how to use the -D option.

I have no idea what you're going on about but the less I have to deal with RetroArch's shitty UI the better.

>>153070728
Use a frontend and that's the correct command.
I use emulationstation.

Ancient shit from march 2015 to the latest stable. How do I get analog to work again?

>>153070943
It's an option in core options or input.

>>153071072
Actually under "Quick menu", I like how the newer versions are even more obtuse than the old ones.

>>153071384
How is a Quick Menu "more obtuse"?

You don't even make sense

>>153071384
Yeah, that's what I meant, sorry. Quick menu and then core input options.
I set the main input options to retropad w/ analogue which automaps dpad to the analogue stick as well.

>>153069348
What exactly do you want to know by asking why?
The exact inner workings of the game?

>mfw I have no problems with the current menu system

Are people just retarded or something?

>>153071719
I don't have any problems with the menu. I'd just rather click on a shortcut than navigate through what looks like a Chinese knockoff of the PS3 XMB menu.

Is there an undub ISO of FF Dissidia Duodecim that actually works? The only one I could find only has battle dialogues in jap and crash at almost every loading screen.

Just use the drag and drop support mudlord added in

>>153072424
How can you even play with Laguna's horrible dub?

>>153073432

>>153073602
How can you even play when everyone is speaking Chinese?

>>153073950
Subtitles

>>153073602
None of the voices in Dissidia 012 were horrible. Some were very good, like Chaos or Kefka

>>153074696
Its a matter of opinion lad. Why exactly are you bothered with someone playing a game the way they want to?

>>153074696
Kefka is nice but sadly he's great in Jap.
Chaos is legit good, but seriously, some like Kuja, Laguna or Squall are simply horrible compared to the original one.

>>153075347
And how could I forget the abomination that was Zidane

Should cracktros/intros be preserved?

>>153076740
Probably, and they are pretty interesting.

At the same time, I don't think it would be a tragedy if some were lost forever.

Most importantly, they should never ever be kept in the same archive as the games they were intros for.

Don't bully the poor wittle CEMU devs /emugen/ you are literally hurting their feelings ;___;

why is emugen so dead?

>>153082000
Because emulation has been perfected so there is no longer anything to complain about.

>>153082342
Start emulating PS4.

>>153082554
It's already possible to emulate no games though, anon.

>>153076740
I have some nostalgia for them. They were pretty cool sometimes.

the fact that lakka is a copy of sony ui really fucks with my ui autism.. its like im using a cheap tryhard clone. like i installed some windows osx theme, or some linux icon pack... FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>153086741
Because making it 64-bit would add nothing so its maintainers don't bother besides an occasional tweak here or there that will end in it being 64-bit by about 2023.

>>153074373
>>153088098

Why would you want to read subtitles all the time?
It's distracting

>>153087106
You'll need most stuff that isn't config files.
Make a separate folder with the new dev build and then copy across your memcards and settings files like .inis and stuff.
Sometimes on install it recognises the previous install and will actually copy your settings from there.

Keep in mind that emulation is a cpu intensive task. Having double the amount of general purpose registers and SIMD registers, is a big deal.

How do you enable analog sticks with Retroarch? I can configure the input to be the sticks on my controller, but the emulator won't let me use them for some reason.

>>153103712

Are you... trying to use the analog stick in games that only have digital control?

>>153103807
No. I tested it with a game called Silent Bomber. I have a physical copy of this game, so I know for sure that it has analog support.

>>153103807
>>153104178

Also, the menus of Retroarch itself let me use the D-pad and buttons on my controller, but not the analog sticks.

>>153067420
just do the thing like that ya know

How were you guys first exposed to emulators?

A cousin gave me a diskette with a bunch of roms and NESticle around 1999, for my newly bought computer. It was also the first time I played video games (probably SMB). Then I moved on to KGen (man that menu screen and sound brings back memories), ZSNES and so on... been almost exclusively playing on emulators and Windows games ever since.

One day my dad took me to his office and let me use his computer to fool around so I naturally used a search engine to find that fabled program my schoolmate told me about.
Long story short, found VGB and that's where it all begin.

>The N3DS is clearly better in every way.

Not with its 2006-era GPU, it isn't.

I can't find the comment, but SP also left one on a youtube video that PCSX ReARMed should fare better on the Vita than the N3DS after getting dynarec simply due to the availability of NEON.

I don't think between emulation you'll have one clear victory over specs since neither will be used to their full potential.

Granted, we can already see progress and support on Vita through the XMB menu driver (using libgxm) and basic attempts at getting mupen working on it.

Basically they'll break even on anything up to and including the SNES (which even then is provided by Nintendo, and who knows what they are doing).

>>153110634
Why do you want a PSX core on Vita? Can't you run PSX through the Vita's PSP backwards compatibility?

>>153110826
You mean why do I want options?

The native option is not 100% perfect (for instance, Suikoden II has crashes and Megaman Legends lags and has audio desyncs).

Native also lacks savestates (and rewind :^)), cheats, filtering, and in the case of the PSTV you can't resize the output or remap controls.

There's no reason to not have it, similar to the 3DS having several cores despite being available via virtual console injections.

>>153110531
isn't CPU more important for emulation?

>>153111113
Also you don't have to deal with eboots, just your friendly formats.

>>153111202
Yeah my CPU is really important for emulating PCSX2 at 100x native resolution.

>>153111412
>100x native resolution
why

>>153094482
You have to leave.

>>153096590
I'm not arguing with you. I'm just saying that the whole "64-bit is more better" is a bad mindset and that it's more complicated than that.

I still prefer pixel-accurate mednafen even for 3d, but most of that is >muh nostalgia.

>>153133147
HD is at least 1280x720, meaning you'd need at least 4x resolution. An overclocked 6600k can only do that on some games.

>>153133265
As a matter of fact, I'm playing at 4x.

apparently dq8 is like a really intensive game
huh
haven't had problems so far and my pc isn't really that great
actually okami is the game i've had the most trouble running at a good speed so far

HD ps1 emulation is conceptually garbage anyway

The 3D models are low poly as fuck, and the textures wobble all over. That shit's way more jarring the higher res you go

PS1 games look best at their original resolution IMHO

>>153133415

I can't get N64 nor NDS to work on android retroarch (from play store).

N64 (both Mupen and ParaLLEI) black screen, nothing happens.

NDS (DeSmuME) nitendo logo loads and then crash the whole app.

All the other retroarch emulators that I've tried (PSX, NES, SNES, GBA) seem to work just fine.

Worth noting that other N64 and NDS emulators from the play store seem to work just fine with full framerate.

I wonder if it's because I have a x86 android tablet? Any ideas?

Because dynarecs are not inherently inaccurate and can be improved to BE accurate. And interpreters are still not perfect anyway.

And, because we are not Dolphin developers, the people of emugen probably do want accurate TIMING in their games and not just individually accurate frames.

Having a weird problem, I'm trying to get Metal Gear Solid working on my tablet with Mednafen PSX, it works fine on my phone but it keeps crashing on my tablet so it's not an issue with the ISO or BIOS, and emulating SNES works.

2) This has nothing to do whatsoever with RetroArch, it has to do with you using a core that is clearly meant for desktop PCs.
3) You are a retard if you think some crappy tablet Intel Atom garbage can run Mednafen PSX at fullspeed. Like nigger WTF are you doing.

Take it easy with the autism, buddy

I'm playing the chrono trigger crimson echoes romhack and it warns that playing on any emulator besides znes, specifically citing snes9x, will cause the game to crash eventually.
I wonder if this is still true/will always be true? I assume it uses that particular emulator's tricks to accomplish some of it's hacks.

>>153172592
A lot of ROMhacks were made only being tested on ZSNES. ZSNES is crap, so those ROMhacks don't work on real hardware or more accurate emulators.

>>153172592
>that particular emulator's tricks
They're not tricks, they're bugs that ZSNES itself hopes to fix. Exploits that among other things allow malicious code to just run on the native machine. Discard EVERY romhack that requires this, it does not deserve preservation and was not made by anyone with any idea what they were doing.

Jesus. Well, I've been playing it on my vita through retroarch's snes9x 2005+ core and it seems fine so far. Even if it's trying to run malicious code it couldn't do much harm to my Vita could it?

>>153173312
Crimson Echoes will not have malicious code, it's just poorly made. And if it tells you it's going to crash eventually if played on a halfway accurate emulator, I'd give it the benefit of the doubt and say it probably will at whatever point it's talking about.

>>153173427
Fair enough, thanks.

Maybe, though I don't really enjoy the qbert gameplay. Still, it is a "finished" game that attempts to do its own thing whether one likes that or not so it's respectable. Not like most of the "products" being released today made only to sell.
