TA is so easy to b8.

One last retarded question about PCSXR PGXP: what is the key for fast forward?

Send style super Mario Brothers clone with multiplayer?

I know I might get biased answers here but should I play Prime Hunters on Wii U's VC or is emulating it just as fine?

>>154868872
Is your Wii U hacked? There's a way to increase internal resolution to 2x on DS games if it is. Wii U hacking is just kernal anyway so you may as well look into it, you just have to go to a website and it gives you homebrew access and then you just need to dump and edit an ini file or something similar.

DS emulation is shit, so I think you'd do better on Wii U either way.

Why don't the cores have DATES next to them in the updater menu? That seems strange. You'd get a lot less people using outdated garbage like a VBA-M core instead of the correct options.

>>154874179
SP makes random small updates to cores all the time, so that'd be kind of useless.

>>154874327
Why would he do a tiny update to a fundamentally out of date core? I could see if it was to bring it back up to date but just a little change? Why?

>>154874984
Why not?

>>154874984
I'm not involved but it's not unbelievable that things like renamed/retyped variables or additional libretro platform requirements would necessitate quick contentless edits to out of date cores.

>using standalone higan
what kind of fucked up sadistic person are you

Does the RetroArch web player act REALLY fucky for anyone else the way it handles inputs? I have a DS4 plugged in, right and left take me to either the first or last menu option. If I hold the left trigger just slightly, I can kind of pick something other than those. If I hold the left trigger just slightly while using the keyboard, I have a lot more control. It seems the sensitivity of my menu selections is based on how hard I push on the left trigger. Also it just started sperging out with no input later on so there's that.

>>154854532
i tried out many version of higan v073, v094, v098, v099, v101 and literally everyone of them has a changed nterface with different features implemented. but the best thing with every revision i have tested the emulator got worse not only emulation wise but also feature wise.

I've been emulating ff7 on mednafen and I'm just getting to disk 2. I've played this far by just opening the disk1.cue file with mednafen. Now my saves are only recognized when I load that disk.
In order to switch to disk 2 and retain my save, I have made a .m3u file that contains the filenames of each of the three disks, which loads properly with mednafen, but does not have my saves. How can I transfer my saves from the disk1.cue to my new setup where I can change disks in emulator. Changing the file names of the saves from disk1 to the name of my .m3u file did not work.

>>154885904
>mednafen for playing games
you dumbshit

>>154885904
>Changing the file names of the saves from disk1 to the name of my .m3u file did not work.
It should, you sure it's exactly right?

>>154885904
If you can't get playlists working right for whatever reason, an alternate solution is you could just change the file name of the save file to disk 2's filename. Disk 2 will allow you to load from a save that was made at the endpoint of disk 1.

Should I download Project64? How bad is the malware?

>>154887068

>>154887068
Are you seriously just willing to let malware run on your PC if someone tells you it's not so bad? Why not google how to circumvent the malware instead?

>>154887068
>Should I download Project64? How bad is the malware?
The "malware" was removed. Also, no, you shouldn't bother trying to emulate N64 games currently because everything is in a state of janky flux.

>>154887784
>"malware"
Are you implying it wasn't malware?

>>154887923
It was extremely hit and miss because it was a third party CDN that offered various pieces of shit software that were sometimes completely harmless and sometimes malware. "Crapware" is a commonly used term, I think.

>>154887784
>Also, no, you shouldn't bother trying to emulate N64 games currently because everything is in a state of janky flux.
You think N64 emulation is "janky" even though most games run fine, Smh..

>>154888264
A third party CDN that offers various pieces of shit software that are sometimes completely harmless and sometimes malware is malware.

>"Crapware" is a commonly used term, I think.
By malware apologists, maybe.

>You think N64 emulation is "janky" even though most games run fine, Smh..
Most games do not run fine, especially out of the box.

>>154888598
>especially out of the box.
not my problem if people are too stubborn to use the best setup.

since most people apparently don't have toasters, why not use ParaLLEl? I heard they supposedly removed the bottleneck, so games should be running full speed with proper graphics.

Beyond that you won't have any fast forward methods

>>154889758
You mean hash in the filename? Forgot about that, you do need to change it, but you can have it save without that by changing the memcard method to libretro in options.
That really should be turned off by default.

What games is it broken in? I heard body harvest collisions work and pilot wings shadows work as well!

>>154883252

>>154889758
Well, when you save a game, this is what your file arrangement will look like:
>Game Name [whocares] [disc 1].cue
>Game Name [whocares] [disc 1].bin
>Game Name [whocares] [disc 1].srm
You open the .CUE file in mednafen, which tells it what to do with the big .BIN file, and retroarch will put its memory card data into a new file with a .SRM extension. They all have the same name, with a different extension.

If you have a disc 2, your game folder would look like this:
>Game Name [whocares] [disc 1].cue
>Game Name [whocares] [disc 1].bin
>Game Name [whocares] [disc 1].srm
>Game Name [whocares] [disc 2].cue
>Game Name [whocares] [disc 2].bin

If you change the .SRM file to have the same filename as both of the disc 2 files (ie it becomes Game Name [whocares] [disc 2].srm), when you open disc 2 it will use that as its memory card and you can load data from the end of disc 1 in many games that do disc swapping.

Because the toughest temple isn't always the last one

>>154905332
How would you replace Retropad? Have someone config every core's controls independently?

>>154905332
There's nothing wrong with the retropad abstraction except for the per-game/core config screen being completely backwards (assigning core buttons to retropad buttons instead of the other way around means you can't have multiple buttons on your controller have the same function).

It still helps overall.

Not that guy, but modelling RetroPad after a 360 controller was a fuckwitted thing to do. It's already pretty limiting with the systems they support now; god forbid someone try to make a Dolphin core.

Everything SP did, he did it for you, and yet still you verbally berate him.

>>154921604

He can't even update the PPSSPP core

“It was hard to develop for the Nintendo 64, especially because the software libraries were delayed. However, the Nintendo 64 truly brought developers into the era of 3D, and there were bound to be problems with that,” said Miyamoto. “I suppose developers who have been working with pseudo-3D on the PlayStation, are now finding themselves playing catch-up working in real 3D on the PlayStation 2. In that sense, I think the PlayStation 2 is even harder to develop for than the Nintendo 64. Nintendo 64 weeded out weaker developers at an early stage. In the long term, I think that was necessary. Almost a rite of passage.”

>tfw no zbuffer made devs diss PS1 as "pseudo-3D"

>>154921898
It's almost like he's a game designer, not a programmer.

>Nintendo 64 weeded out weaker developers

Z-buffer had hardly anything to do with how n64 was hard to program for. If anything lack of z-buffer is something that made it harder to do some things on the PSX since you had to make sure that you drew everything in the right order.

The truth in that the N64 was a mess of a console that was much stronger that the competition on paper but had a few hard limitations that ruined it completely.

>>154928806
Wasn't aware you had to do it both globally and for the program. That appears to have helped a little but tearing is still noticeable.

I get hindsight is always 20/20, we don't know what's the development history for the N64. Maybe they didn't realize the problem until it was too late or maybe there was a setback that prevented them from doing what they really wanted.

Look at Sony and the PS4 pro for instance, I'm really not sure it makes a lot of sense for them to target 4K when most people don't have a 4K screen and the games will end up running at the same framerate and with similar settings as the basic PS4 for most people. So either Sony really knows what they're doing and it's going to be a big success or in 10 years we'll look back on it and say "what the hell were they thinking?".

N64 came after the PSX and Saturn, I assume they had to aim high if they wanted to take back the lead. Maybe that's what pressured them to take those weird decisions to have better marketing material, like Sony seems to be doing with the 4K.

What damage can they do, and how would you even get it to do damage? The iso was archived inside the archive with the rest of the files, but it extracted fine.

>>154930260
The ISO is not the zip bomb, its the archive. It was probably a false positive in your case because emuparadise just compresses already compressed and separated scene releases.

>>154930401
That makes sense, but I didn't save the archive though, the scan is pointing to the iso. Is there a better place to get PSP stuff? The archive.org link on the wiki has very few games.

bsnes-balanced can run everything except air-patrol perfectly, and is faster than accuracy. The mercury versions of bsnes are just as accurate but optimized to be faster (as well as having some optional hacks, off by default) so there's no real reason not to use them.

Snes9x is pretty good, and is a lot faster than bsnes-mercury-balanced if your friend's computer can't handle it.

Snes9x-Next is even faster and is decent if you really need it.

It's called greed. Why the fuck can't you young people ever see this? Nintendo couldn't squeeze as much profit from CD-ROMs (even though they still would've made money hand-over-fist), therefore they are bad. Nintendo saw that both their competitor's machines had glaring 3D limitations of their own, therefore why not have a shitty texture cache?

It's the old doctrine of "Meh, good 'nuff!" and it leads to mediocrity every single time.

What's a good non-monetized gba emulator for android?

/emugen/, I have a weird thing happening on my Dolphin emulator. I don't know how to quite describe it, but basically I've been running GC roms today and yesterday to see if they work, so I used Skies of Arcadia as my first test ROM. It loaded and played moderately well, so I saved it and then I downloaded Fire Emblem Path of Radiance to try today.

Well, come today, when I tried to boot SoA, the damn thing doesn't even load. I tried running the ISO, and it acts like it's booting it up for a second, then shoots an error message saying "Dolphin.exe has stopped working" and crashes out. When this happened I tried fiddling around with the emulator, the ROM, basically everything I could think of, but no dice. Then I booted up Fire Emblem, and it actually worked. Then I had the idea to close it out and boot it back up again, and lo and behold now it's doing the same thing that SoA was.

I'll be honest, I'm at a complete loss here. Reinstalling the emulator and redownloading the ROMs work to get it up and running again, but like hell do I want to leave my computer up for dozens of hours just so I can beat them without losing progress. Anyone have any ideas?

>>154958440
Where did you download the ROMs

>>154958049

>Young people

I wish.

What you call "greed" can just be called finding the right balance between price and power.

Carts didn't have loading times, maybe they made more money but I'm sure the loading times were a big factor in the decision.

The texture cache thing makes zero sense to me, greed or not. I think it was either an oversight that was caught too late or they had an issue and had to settle for this for some reason. That almost single-handedly ruins N64 graphics, that's kind of a big fuckup on their parts.

>>154958440
And just as I did this, I seem to have figured out the cause of it. It's
>Dolphin Emulator -> Cache -> Shaders
and this fucking thing inside it that's causing my issues.
>ogl-GEAE8P-shaders.cache

Deleting it let me run SoA both times I've tried to do it, but I can't fathom why it's causing the crash. I'll have to redownload Fire Emblem to make sure it works with it as well, but I think it might.

>>154958860
Well even if it isn't the ROM I still recomment downloading them from the ReDump set on archive.org

How do I convert GBC save files between .SAV and .SRM?

I'm trying to open a Pokemon Crystal save made on RetroArch (mGBA) on an emulator that has link capabilities so I can trade between them. The problem is that RetroArch uses .SRM files (as well as a .RTC file for the internal clock), and TGB uses .SAV files.

I tried renaming the extension but that didn't work.

>>154958860
Here's a crazy thought. Just check the hash and compare it to redump.

>>154958860
And now some more Googling leads me to believe I've correctly diagnosed the fuckup.

https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/6951

The issue with this though is that this happened on both the 5.0 and the 5.0.626 Dev versions that I downloaded, and it says it got fixed somewhere back in the 4.0.2 era, so I'm still confused as to why this is happening.

>>154959737
mGBA uses seperate save files for the game's battery and clock (which is accuhurtz) while TGB does not.

You probably have to merge them manually or something

Or just use http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/1420/

>>154959796
This is what we call verifying your dumps. Many of us do it quite frequently.

>>154960726
>Or just use http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/1420/
Yyyyyyyyyyeah, I would but I already have quite some progress on my current game.

>>154961008
>How is it "accuhurtz"?

The game and the clock have separate batteries.

>>154958652

>Carts didn't have loading times, maybe they made more money but I'm sure the loading times were a big factor in the decision.

Holy fuck, how can you be so naive? It. Was. Money.

End of story.

Do you even know a thing about "the Nintendo way" of doing shit? It involved fucking devs over from start to finish, and maybe even the consumer too (time permitting, of course). CD-ROMs promised to do away with all of Nintendo's price-gouging in the cart manufacturing process and give the consumer more power as well by being easier to copy.

The loading times were just a convenient technical excuse, and I can't believe you're still falling for a 20+ year old lie.

>>154961206

Make a copy of your save and try it out, I doubt the patch breaks them.

>>154958652
>Carts didn't have loading times

I take you've never played the SNES version of Mickey Mania then

>>154961553

Not sure what that has to do with how the files are stored by the emulator.

>>154961662

Of course in the end it's "about money", Nintendo is not a charity. I still think the loading times were probably an important factor, they were pretty terrible on the PSX for instance.

Also carts were not what we were talking about to begin with, it's not what made the N64 hard to program or have shitty graphics (well, besides limiting the amount of textures).

>>154961836

I did not. I doubt that's really representative of the CD vs. carts comparison though.

>>154962159
>Not sure what that has to do with how the files are stored by the emulator.

Because they are literally two independent save files, similar how N64 emulators have separate saves for the batteries and the memory card.

>>154962408

It's really not obvious at all to me why the PCB layout of the cart should dictate how the emulator should organize its save files. What's the point? Emulating what would happen if you were to swap the RTC of two carts? Is it really useful?

If a mapper stores saves in two ROM banks the emulator should use two files then?

Sounds more like an autistic justification for having poor usability to me. Like that whole mess with headerless ROMs.

>>154961206
Tried it. Didn't work, sadly.

>>154962850
>It's really not obvious at all to me why the PCB layout of the cart should dictate how the emulator should organize its save files.

Because the emulator is aiming to reproduce the hardware as accurately as possible.

>If a mapper stores saves in two ROM banks the emulator should use two files then?

Yes.

>Sounds more like an autistic justification for having poor usability to me.

How does having two separate save files affect usability? And what kind of autism makes you insist that having one single file for everything is the right way?

>Like that whole mess with headerless ROMs.

Oh boy!

>>154963671

You want to reproduce the hardware in behaviour, not in structure. Emulators are not structured like real hardware at all. Files stored on a hard drive are not similar at all to a RAM or flash chip. Splitting things across files doesn't gain you anything. You couldn't make an accuracy test running in that emulator that would be able to detect whether the save is stored as a file, two, or ten. It's a completely ridiculous standard for "accuracy".

>How does having two separate save files affect usability?

Because you're more likely to fuck up, back up one of the file and not the other for instance. More garbage on the filesystem that makes it harder to find what you're looking for. Nothing major, but since it's a completely useless thing to begin with we might as well not bother with that.

>>154964463
>You want to reproduce the hardware in behaviour, not in structure.

Don't tell me what to do!

>Splitting things across files doesn't gain you anything.

It doesn't cost anything either.

>You couldn't make an accuracy test running in that emulator that would be able to detect whether the save is stored as a file, two, or ten.

I could. It would probably be a waste of time though.

>It's a completely ridiculous standard for "accuracy"

Why not write your own emulator if you feel you know better? Or create your own fork at least?

>Because you're more likely to fuck up, back up one of the file and not the other for instance.

That's a user error. People being loony isn't my problem.

>More garbage on the filesystem that makes it harder to find what you're looking for.

Those files are right next to each other.

>Nothing major, but since it's a completely useless thing to begin with we might as well not bother with that.

Well it does trigger you hard, that's for sure.

So, does anyone know why this happens? I've been trying to find an answer but scouring desmume's official forums, but, I haven't found anything yet. I thought it was perhaps I had an AMD card in my last computer, but, even after getting a Nivida card this happens on stand alone Desmume. When I use an older version of Desmume, (r5180 is the last one I think) this doesn't happen in opengl or softraiser. When I use the Retroarch core of Desmume, this doesn't happen. Yet downloading the latest versions (r5558) I get this error in Pokemon Black/White.

Basically I encounter a Pokemon, and the zoom in effect that normally happens bugs the fuck out. This didn't use to be an issue, so I'm curious to why it is now. I know it isn't my specs, since even on my older machine it was working fine before on r5180, so what gives? Does anyone else know why this happens? Do you have a fix? Hit a brother up here it's been driving me nuts on and off for the last two or three months.

Rayman 2 has native(poor) widescreen support.

Considering the rather poor state of N64 emulation, would I be better off just playing the Master Quest version of OoT on Dolphin?

>>154995067
>emulating
Where the fuck do you think you are?

>>154995067
Ocarina of time is one of those games that emulates well on any emulator.

>>154995067
You can play the original version on dolphin through that collector's edition disk

>>154995451
Forgot about that one. I'll go with that, thanks.

never really emulated anything PS2 wise other than ZoE which probably is what killed my old shit computer

is Persona 3 decent on an emulator? i ask because it's turn based combat so it can get away with being shittier but if it's fucking silky smooth 10 fps I'll just pass.

>>154996623
p4 works good for me so i'm assuming p3 would
you should emulate the psp version anyway, ppsspp is way better than pcsx2

>>154996747
i just heard that the PSP version was lacking in features compared to the P2 PES or whatever edition.

i'd already played P4G when I had a Vita before it shit and died on me, so.

>>154996747
>ppsspp is way better than pcsx2
Don't use savestates if you are gonna play P3P. PPSSPP breakes the game when using savestates.

>>154996876
i don't even use save states unless the game doesn't have ingame saving

>>154997048
I used savestates because I don't give a shit about japanese literature and poems

I'd say it runs pretty well, there's just some minor hiccups between menus and whatnot

And P3FES is the correct version to play for a first run, P3P is better for a second playthrough

If it's accurate, what is there to fix?

It's caused by software processing time, you idiot!
n64 cartrige rom access time (over 5MB/s) is largely faster than CDROM access time (1x = 150 kB/s)

>Considering the rather poor state of N64 emulation
nice meme

>>154974141
>Are there any worthwhile games on it?
I've seen some retarded questions in here, but...
>>154981941
Probably decompression, not loading.
>>154996623
>is Persona 3 decent on an emulator?
It's still the same shit childrens visual dating novel, but yes it emulates well.

>>154999923
So the hardware itself was the bottleneck
In that case what is the point of having less space for faster data access when the hardware literally cannot make use of it?

>>154999923
>It's caused by software processing time, you idiot!
The fuck do you think loading time is you idiot?

>>154996623
Yeah. I completed P3: FES and it ran fine on my 5 year old laptop on PCSX2 1.4.0. Probably runs better nowadays.

Anyway to limit fps in citra? I tried both official and chinese builds and I have 144 fps in menus.

>>155000087
Are you really going to contest that?

>>155003056
Sounds like a feature, not a bug
:^)

>>155003056
VSync.

Any idea which kings field I should play first?

I've already tried King's Field 1 (I think it's the US renamed version, idk, you start on a bridge and the first enemies are strange mushroom looking octopi) and it is nigh unplayable because of the godawful controls. Do any of them get better or do I slog through it?

>>155007401
Bite the bullet
The controls only get worse as the series goes on with the one on PS2 having the worst of them

>>155007550
no fucking way lmao

how is that even possible? Genuine question, how can that even be real?

>>155007697
Don't want to spoil the experience for you :^)

>>155007401
King's Field II (KF1 US) is good, but the graphics haven't aged well and the slowdown may turn some people off.

>>155007550
This is wrong.
