I'm well aware. I took a look at it while backporting some ini fixes. It's still rubbish, though. Glide64 is a fundamentally horrible plugin.

It's no more bullshit than just writing down the last number without denoting the aspect ratio. These shorthand notations were never anything but a way to confuse normals. Most people don't even know what 1080p means.

>abloobloobloo muh steam muh DRM

>>154350321
4k without research can deceive someone who actually knows what 1080p is if they take it at face value though. Normal people will be less deceived even perhaps because all they know is "it's better than 1080p" although the scale is wrong too so if they do any thinking about it they will be deceived too without research.

Not him but unless you have a crack and all the game files, you don't have guaranteed access to the game.

>>154350953
It's true, but it's also totally inconsequential. Games get removed from the store, but they don't get yanked out of your library or become unplayable. In the unlikely event that Valve goes under or Steam is pulled in the near future, installs can be backed up and there exists no-steam cracks for nearly anything and most games don't even need that. In the present, it's bar none the most convenient method for both organization, updates and niceties like cloud saving. GOG Galaxy is making great strides, but GOG as a whole doesn't have a comparable of modern titles.

It's not like the individual needs to back up his entire library right away in that scenario. If there was a 2 week countdown before Steam went totally kaput, you could rest assured that among someone else is going to be backing up those 50 gig plus AAA games.

>>154360951
Most do? I know MAME does.

Why does mednafen ask for each button twice with (1) and (2), and also for "rapid" buttons? Can they be disabled or should I just change the buttons from a cfg file?

>>154367702
because its not epsxe, which is the best PS1 emulator btw
mednafen has a really poor UI so yeah you'd be better off editing the cfg if you can understand it. The (1) and (2) are just alternative buttons in case you want to map your controller and keyboard/other device

>>154367702
>Why does mednafen ask for each button twice with (1) and (2)
Confirmation in case you fuck up

Just map them to something you don't care about.

Don't bother changing via config you're more likely to fuck up than anything else.

Why the fuck would you play PS1 games at 1x resolution with awful interlacing, shitty framerates, no overclocking and massive jittering?
Might as well buy an original PS1 and play that.
Or you could just run PCSXR that not only looks better than mednafen but also performs better with more overclocking options and a real UI.
Are there even any games where PCSXR performs worse than mednafen?

Jittering is less apparent the lower resolution you play so this is more of an argument agaisnt ePSXe especially considering it doesn't have a proper GTE hack, Mednafen has overclocking through beetle

>Or you could just run PCSXR that not only looks better than mednafen but also performs better with more overclocking options and a real UI.
The only relevant fork doesn't run on phones so by your own standards it is a terrible emulator.

Shit like pic related are an usual sight when you use PCSXR so safe to say yes.

Because it looks fucking awful at low resolutions? Regardless PS1 still cannot render straight lines no matter how low resolution you run it at. Your entire argument is "yeah it looks like shit but its good because you can't make it out anyway"

>Mednafen has overclocking through beetle
Only 2x which isn't enough to give stable framerates. 3D games still get constant drops when played through it.

>Shit like pic related are an usual sight when you use PCSXR so safe to say yes.

>What game is that? I can bet you that its entirely your fault that game looks like that.
Wild Arms 2, and no tried every configuration and that was the least terrible result, probably a PGXP related problem though but I haven't bothered trying any other PCSXR, might be fixed now.

>>154371496
>because pic related looks like trash. the libretro core even tries to mask it by that awful dithering pattern
This is how the PS1 works and looks I'd rather have something that looks like the real thing that an abomination I have to pretend looks better, and don't pretend the plugin that allow higher resolution currently (with the exception of PGXP) look any better. than native.

> You are literally doing what I said >>154370615
You're the only one who brought up shaders in the whole argument and you're also the only one trying to pretend someone would buy a computer for the sole purpose of running mednafen.

>because your retard brain cannot do anything else but spout illogical rhetoric when challenged
That's pretty funny coming from someone who cannot accept that people don't think like him and needs to resort to insulting them when they don't agree.

>>154372449
PCSXR runs on everything ePSXe runs on and more.

Also mednafen run on every platform that RA supports, even if a lot of them aren't fast enough to handle it.

>>154372495
>And your entire argument is "It still looks like shit but at-least it's not native res"
Except the fact that it does not look like shit. Are you genuinely retarded?

>I'd rather have a moderate speedup that I know won't break things than anything else.
Do you even know how overclocking works? It would still break shit if it was going to even if you overclock it 2x or even 1.5x

>might be fixed now.
So you aren't even using latest builds? You are genuinely retarded.

>>154372610
Its not just about running, its about running good.
Epsxe runs pretty well even on shitty devices on my tests and PCSXR Rearmed is actually very bad. It has worse compatibility than epsxe with certain games having graphical glitches not present in epsxe. I cannot vouch for performance differences as the only game I tried on both of them ran pretty well.
Also Rearmed does not have the GTE hacks of PGXP making the switching from something like epsxe even more useless.

Looks the exact in ePSXe, because that's what happens when you upscale PS1 games

Indeed but it should be pretty obvious that I can't use a build newer than the screenshot which is why I mentioned it could have been fixed since, but apparently that was lost on you.

While you may have trouble understanding the context of the post, you should read it again until you stop forgetting it. Try to remove any distractions like shiny objects from your room so that you don't lose concentration in the middle of reading the posts and their context.

Byuu in his great autism decided he needed to build the GB emulator needed to run the SGB himself, he never finished and never will because the GB is actually a tough nut to crack if you're going for actual accuracy.

You might be able to grab an older build that uses Gambatte instead, last I heard Alcaro tried to redo that with the 0.94 version RA has but that might have never been finished, otherwise maybe lsnes can do it.

The reason Game Boy emulators aren't that accurate is because nobody really cares about the Game Boy. And I don't mean, "I care! I want an accurate emulator!", I mean, nobody cares enough to spend ten years of their lives making one.

It's a nice system, but it's no NES or SNES. The documentation on it is total shit that's stuck in the late '90s. The test ROMs are mostly a total joke that just run dumb loops, checksum the results and print a pass/fail without even understanding what it is they're supposed to be testing. People pass them by fudging cycle counts so they get higher tasvideos accuracy scores, but don't bother to actually understand/document what's really happening. Emudevs are too concerned about having the 700th Game Boy emulator that can run fullspeed on a Nintendo DS or a first-gen Raspberry Pi, so the code becomes way too convoluted and difficult to debug/understand. Seriously, as amazing and fast as gambatte is (and it's definitely both) ... I can't make heads or tails of what it's doing from its source code. The emulators get 1-2 years of really active development and then move on to life support.

There are some people that are definitely helping (and that's fantastic!!), but it's not enough. We find new behaviors, write up a test ROM, and a week later find out it breaks several games and fails on real hardware. But we've already moved on to some other area. This isn't how you do it! You have to spend a month on that one problem, and really understand exactly what's happening! You have to rule out every other possible alternative explanation, and test absolutely every combination there is! Otherwise, we're just going to keep chasing our tails fixing one thing just to break two other things in a perpetual game of whack-a-mole.

If you really care about Game Boy emulator accuracy, ... then that person could be you! So, what's stopping you?

What gets me about this is, they wouldn't have included that message unless they had noticed complaints before. And this is their FIRST intro, so they saw the complaints and decided to make it worse for everyone and the complain about those complaints.
And even then, if "true sceners" don't care about crcs and untouched dumps, why did you add your shitty intro in the first place?

Intros like this basically pushed people to get their roms from somewhere else. Really all they did was get people to dislike them.

Scene is all about providing stuff for the scene secret club, not the p2p leechers (at least it used to be back in the 90s). All these scene dumps you see on torrent sites aren't actually supposed to be there, or so they say.

i dont know what emu you are using

>>154435254
if you're using mednafen in retroarch you need the proper bios file

just download this and dump it all into your system folder: https://mega.co.nz/#!7JcFAKiS!_00Opr4hmcn1gHSoRrA_9lrbK1pDejJFUz8lAgamuK0

and the game you downloaded should have come with a .cue and a .bin, you should open the .cue to play games and not the .bin, since sometimes the .cue files point to audio tracks and they might not play if you open it through the bin

give me one good reason to update. I hear nothing but people complaining about shit breaking, so I don't want to go through the hassle

I check the github often to see what the changes to the cores are, and for the cores I use (gen 4 shit and below, and ps1), they're mostly for new features instead of compatibility fixes

that's why most of my cores are from november 2015. If they fix something that matters I'll redownload the core, but usually I have no reason to.

From what I've read, hardware wise it's completely identical so I wouldn't think it too hard to make a Saturn emulator also compatible with it.

Well, they seem to have unfucked the configuration system quite a bit. Per game and per core configs actually work correctly since this month.

I see Official Dreamcast Magazine #9 and Dreamon #9 in Redump set on Pleasure Dome.

This is an issue in nightly builds too, dumbass

Utterly useless but it wouldn't be the same without it

Any settings aside from stock to make PPSSPP look smooth on a big screen?

what do I do with the font and textures and such?
