You wouldn't emulate a car.

Oh yeah, and it only supports a recompiling CPU for now, so it's totally useless for embedded targets, like ARM for foobar2000 Mobile.

More issues of devs not wanting to backwards compat. with old "dumps" in this case rips just because they think they're "broken"

Also devs bitching about new C++11 rather than using their favored ancient compiler of choice

When will they learn that they're doing exactly what we're doing and they're hypocrites for wanting to get rid of "broken" rips? I want them to get rid of their broken compilers.

>>155136346
Glad I got a copy of HighlyExperimental before he took it down and replaced it with a choice between AO which plays virtually nothing because no one gives a fuck to rerip the music from every PS1 game again and the shitty Play! core that probably won't play everything because it's Play! and we all know what that's like.

>>155137283
Why? Can it not do everything old vers of C and C++ could do and just adds a bunch of extra crap that you don't have to use?

>>155137047
>More issues of devs not wanting to backwards compat. with old "dumps" in this case rips just because they think they're "broken"

They're broken if they don't function on a player running on real hardware or more accurate emulators. This is no different than the situation with ROM hacks, and the solution is to improve them to work on real world conditions instead of holding back emulation with hacks to make them work.

>Adds decoding support for Sega Dreamcast Sound Format (.DSF/.MINIDSF) files and Sega Saturn Sound Format

Are there any Dreamcast or Saturn game osts that are worth listening to?

>>155137479

It's just a bunch of syntactical sugar that's unnecessary. C99 and C++03 were good enough and would work on every compiler made in the last 15 years.

Which emulator is the one you use the most?

>>155137659
>They're broken if they don't function on a player running on real hardware or more accurate emulators.
Nah.

>This is no different than the situation with ROM hacks, and the solution is to improve them to work on real world conditions instead of holding back emulation with hacks to make them work.
That will never happen because hacks are released and support ends for them; you just leave the legacy core and if the psf doesn't work on the newer core you swap to the older one. you don't just say "sorry but ur rips r old, go dl them all again"

This is like instead of Windows 10 supporting games from say 2001 they just say "sorry, go tell the dev of this defunct game to update it so it works on W10"; it isn't feasible.

>>155138106
>This is like instead of Windows 10 supporting games from say 2001 they just say "sorry, go tell the dev of this defunct game to update it so it works on W10"; it isn't feasible.

That's already happened for games that used deprecated functionality in the Windows API.

Next you are going to complain about 16-bit DOS games not working on modern Windows too.

>>155138480
>That's already happened for games that used deprecated functionality in the Windows API.
Like what games? I have games from 1996 that work on W8.1

>>155137864
can't make a list atm, but yeah especially on saturn

>>155138106
>Nah.

Yes. If a Playstation game were released in 1997 that did not work on a real Playstation, it would have been considered broken because it would not work. It wouldn't magically become non-broken if some hackfest emulator from 5 years later could play it. No one cares if you are inconvenienced by this simple fact.

So this is the accuracy vs hacks debate again

>>155137352
Pretty sure foo_psf is still Highly Experimental

>>155139521
Why did someone say it was based on the Play! core now?

>>155138723
These aren't PS1 games though. They're rips of the audio intended to be played in a music player. If they can be then they aren't broken. The whole point of these rips is to play them, not to autistically update the rips every 5 years like MAME sets

>>155139636
He was saying that there was another PSF player out there that he hasn't used because of the stated reasons regarding its code and lack of interpreter support.

He only offers Highly Experimental and AOPSF as foobar PSF decoder plugins as of this time.

Oh ok. I just wasn't aware there were 3.

>>155139772
>They're rips of the audio intended to be played in a music player. If they can be then they aren't broken

The plugins used to play them were based on inaccurate emulation.

>The whole point of these rips is to play them, not to autistically update the rips every 5 years like MAME sets

Then you should have gotten MP3 rips instead. Emulation is all about progress, not stagnation for some user's convenience.

>It's stupid that they merged with MESS since the userbases are so different.
It makes perfect sense from a code management standpoint. Accuracy improvements from home system emulators apply immediately to arcade systems, and the end users won't even notice if they're using a proper front end.

>It's stupid that they don't support old dumps.
See >>155138723
In MAME this is further compounded by the fact that people actually replace defective ROM chips in old arcade cabs using MAME's dumps, so inaccurate dumps are absolutely inadmissible.

>>155152236
PocketSNES. Yeah, it was originally a SNES emu for the GBA.

>>155152259
>if they're using a proper front end.
MAME has no proper front ends

> inaccurate dumps are absolutely inadmissible.
If it worked 2 years ago and yet suddenly doesn't work now due to some change you made in the code, it ain't an "inaccurate dump," it's your emu that isn't handling it properly.

>>155152784
>MAME has no proper front ends
Nice True Scotsman.

>If it worked 2 years ago and yet suddenly doesn't work now due to some change you made in the code, it ain't an "inaccurate dump,"
Thousands of ZSNES 1.42 patches on romhacking.net say otherwise.

>>155153214
Dumps of real games that ran on real hardware working on real MAME 2 years ago are different from rom hacks that arent real games and never ran on real hardware

>>155152446
>SNES emu for the GBA
jesus fuck
even the psp and dreamcast have trouble emulating that shit
i need a vid. now.
guessing it can emulate smw at 30fps no sound

>>155153849
They work for the same reasons. You can hack together an emulator that sort of works with a partial / corrupt / oversize dump, just like you can hack together a ROM file that only works with a simplified machine model. MAME has hundreds of playable dumps in their catalog that are marked as bad or incomplete.

A lot of times the people writing the code don't even have physical access to the arcade machine. They're huge and prohibitively expensive to transport.

>>155132801

Is playing Bust a Groove for the PSX without the music and game losing sync possible?

>>155154625
If MAME ever uses a workaround to make that game work on a simplified machine model then I propose it must always keep that simplified machine model in its code to support those old dumps that once worked. Either do it right the first time or support the hacky code forever.

>>155157529
Are you telling me that Mamedevs are writing an emulator to emulate a game that they have NEVER played on the REAL HARDWARE? How do they even know what is correct? Are they just going with what "looks" right?

>>155157329
Since when do arcade games come on discs?

>>155157774
Sometimes. It depends on the driver. They have scrapped a lot of 10~15 year old drivers for more accurate ones, which that article seems to insinuate isn't the case. It's not like PCSX2 where they basically acknowledge their code is shit and do nothing to fix it.

>>155157113
Just grab Emuloader or QMC2, MAME from mamedev.org, and get the ROMs (not software list) and Extras from PleasureDome. They're free; you don't need to have any ratio.

>>155158110
The late 80s? LaserDisc was a thing.

>>155158354
Did they really put laserdiscs inside arcade cabs?

>>155158174
>They have scrapped a lot of 10~15 year old drivers for more accurate ones, which that article seems to insinuate isn't the case.
I think the guy being interviewed there is just kind of saying it isn't the rule; they don't go for perfect accuracy. He would probably acknowledge they will scrap inaccurate drivers but it takes some doing to coax people into making the more accurate ones and such. He is clearly an accuracy nut and thus for him MAME is no-go. Only the original will do because it isn't 100% accurate from release.

In addition to laserdisc games(like Dragon's Lair), I think he meant more like hard drives. Many arcade games are pretty big and were stored on hard drives.

>>155159578

>>155159190
>>155159919
Yeah, Dragon's Lair is literally a LaserDisc player in an arcade cab. Plus CHD+DIF images, which are hard drives with writes stored in a separate file.

>>155159371
I think they operate on a something is better than nothing principle. Like, Neo Geo and old Atari stuff is easily on par with SNES9x or Genesis GX Plus in terms of accuracy. 40 year old Soviet gambling machines maybe not so much, but nobody else is even willing to try.

I played through Wind Waker just fine on a significantly worse mobile CPU. I think it was an i3-4010U @ 1.70GHz. Just do not enable any bells and whistles beyond the original console, those will put some weight onto a GPU. Half the sob stories about Dolphin performance (in the decently-emulated games at least) seems to begin with some stupid fuck turning everything to max before even seeing if it runs a game NORMALLY. Demanding games like F-Zero GX might still be out of reach, but most stuff should be fine.

>>155185186
Careful now, you might get called a liar

>>155182229
I don't know about that. ZSNES has noticably inaccurate sound in every game it plays. If you have a real DSP dump and use LLE DSP in the options, Dolphin's sound can be just as normal. Except with hiccups every time a shader needs to be made :^)

>>155185329

>>155191283
Mednafen is still near-perfect and isn't going to become worse than it is with age - worst that happens is its creator goes insane in the dark future of 2030 and fucks up the new versions, and we have to direct you to the 2029 versions instead. It's not like new and more special PSX games are coming out every month.

Any DS emulator that allows me to make the secondary screen smaller/set custom screen sizes? DESMEMU runs 100% smoothly on my PC but I can't find this setting which is really a shame.

>>155194386
No

If I want to play Phantom Brave should I download the Wii version or the PSP one?

>>155194386
Yes actually. Both Drastic and the later versions of Desmume X432R allow this.

>>155194419
That's too bad. Vertical layout makes the screens too small and horizontal messes with certain movies/animations/menus etc.

>>155194681
That's good to hear! The DESMUME X432R site I can find has not been updated for a year though.

Yep. If your game ran well in Desmume a year ago though, nothing to be concerned about. Otherwise you may be nearly out of luck on PC.

I say nearly because I do remember that back in the eary days where no$gba DS was a thing, people would often use some kind of external 3rd-party software to 'zoom' in on the screen because it had no zooming of its own. No$gba is utter trash and I don't recommend using it, but you could investigate whatever that external software was, or things like it, since it likely wouldn't be limited to use with only no$gba.

>>155195008
I remember when I always used No$gba because I didn't know Demume existed

>>155195008
Keep in mind though that it's very likely that the last Desmume X432R will run your game just fine. Desmume has changed very little in the last year.

I have a problem where every ISO I download is corrupt and will not extract properly. I can download the SAME ISO files from the SAME source (I get my downloads from emuparadise) on a different PC using the SAME internet connection and I know they work properly, but I can not get these same files to download properly on the PC I'm currently using. In other words, the files are legit, but they get messed up somewhere in the downloading process.

How do I get my computer to download the files properly? Should I disable my antivirus during downloads?

I'm running a Windows PC, using Google Chrome as the browser I'm downloading off of (with adblock), with Norton Anti-Virus. I've tried using WinRar, 7-zip, and Express Zip to extract the ISOs, but none of them work.

I'll visit the wiki. I did state that the files I've gotten from emuparadise do in fact work and aren't bad rips. Yeah, I bet there are shit rips on the site, but most of what I'm downloading are popular games that I KNOW people have downloaded and do indeed.

It's not the rips themselves, it's the downloading process. That's what I'm trying to say.

I'll try downloading from the wiki, if it does the same thing, I'll post a screenshot of what I'm talking about.

That's because that one is unoptimized.

Please stop living in the past and excusing zilmar's laziness to modernize.

OK, so I actually went through the source and looked at Wikipedia:

YM2612 has 14-bit resolution internally, which is truncated to 9-bit at output. The default Genesis GX Plus behavior is to dump the 14-bit output directly, which is probably "better" than real hardware. In the same way dumping NES VRAM produces a "better" picture than a real NES.

https://github.com/ekeeke/Genesis-Plus-GX/blob/f49980abede84c3e1e1eae918e1faac5e4b33760/core/sound/ym2612.c#L2109

Quantization enables 9 bit truncation with no output filter, which is going to produce uglier distortion than real hardware.

So yeah, neither one is necessarily more correct than the other. Just choose whatever sounds right.

BS. Endusers are way more entitled.

This guy is a fucking pussy if he thinks what was posted constitutes harassment. He's been inside of his safe space for too long it seems.

I'm pretty sure he's just pretending to be a victim, to gain more support / sympathy. Still pathetic though.

>>155232675
What do you suggest we do, kill him? Have you considered that drama has always been the MO of the emu scene since way before SP ever showed up? Don't pretend he is responsible for everything bad to ever happen in this scene, he is just another cog in the machine.

Just do what you should do with other attention seekers: ignore them and their tantrums.

>>155241231
That's pretty much the correct answer I guess, just ignore them while they are on their tantrum and only talk to them when they're acting sane.

I've got a sudden hankerin' for that old game Gladius. I used to own it for the Gamecube back in the day and I know it emulated decently last time I tried it on Dolphin, but I hear PS2 Emulation is getting to the point where it's pretty stable.

Should I get the Gamecube version again since I hear good things about current Dolphin or go for PS2?

>>155242296
Dolphin.

Oh, and we have this too: https://mgba.io/2016/09/19/mgba-0.5.0/ .

>>155242296
ps2 emulation has been stable for years. the main issue is just various graphical glitches.

Yeah I should add it's been a long ass time since I looked into anything emulation related.

People on emugen are kind of unusual compared to normal people.

I'm here because I love emulation

Interesting. Tell me, Anon...What are your thoughts on Trannys?

How do I set up my laptop keyboard and mouse with Dolphin? I can't find anything online about it
