I guess its not an emulation question, but I just got my hands on an old dreamcast, it has a circle with a 1 in it next to the region code, and I was wondering if anyone knew a good cd burning software. I looked up some how-tos, but I'm not sure what to trust and I want to avoid programs with set up exes.

>Porting Cg shaders to the minimalist GLSL-like subset that BGFX demands is actually quite a pain. BGFX only lets you use a bare minimum of shader features due to the fact that one of its supported platforms is WebGL, which doesn't get you a lot of niceties.

BGFX confirmed for "lowest common denominator" bullshit

>How to run Citra's upper screen fullscreen? Is it only possible with those unofficial builds?
Yep.
>Is it possible to use controllers yet?
With the chinese builds or some guy's build on gbatemp. Last I checked the bleeding edge builds didn't have support.

I've spent an inordinate amount of time on this ps2 softmodding bullshit. I can use fcmb + burned discs just fine, but I want to play games off of SMB thru ethernet connection because I heard that method plays better than discs (which have been a little fucky for whatever reason like broken cutscenes).

I have an active, primary partition "PS2SMB" made and I've put games on it using both the USBUTIL and USBExtreme methods. I use a crossover cable to connect my PC and PS2. I've tried various IP numbers for Open PS2 Loader.

Fucking thing still either wont connect or is connected but won't detect any goddamn games on my PS2SMB partition. This is stupid. I've tried following several tutorial videos so they must be leaving a lot of shit out if what I'm doing isn't working.

>>159103859
You need to manually assign a local IP to your PS2 in yoand make sure it's a public share and you're using an ethernet cable straight from your PC to your PS2, some switches break connection.

>>159105147
Well i was in the middle of using HDLoader, and while that didnt work, OPL now detects my games on the partition. I have a faint idea of what caused this, and it's so fucking stupid. The tutorial video I followed literally said otherwise.

>>159088681

Funny how the same guys who are all busily stealing RA's features are at the same time lambasting it for this or that reason (New Retro Arcade being the latest bullshit).

MAME/MESS dudes are a bunch of losers with no skills who themselves are the biggest plagiarists and thieves around, stealing this or that from random emulator X or Y and incorporating it back into their badly performing jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none huge mess of an emulator.

>>159077073
Need a little help. I used to emulate SNES and PSX about a decade ago all the time and was very 'in the scene'. I have since just been playing current gen games and am starting to look at emulating Wii/GCN with Dolphin.

My question is, are all game downloads just massive zip part link lists? I really just want one download link for a full game, it shouldn't be hard to provide. Where do I find decent places to get these games?

While the price is nice, this is overkill and he would be better off buying a cheaper older card. I have 3 desktops, I still have cards from 4 years ago that are playing PS2 and Gamecube games full speed with no problems.

Get a superior fat PS2 and install FHDB.

Ethernet is hot garbage when you realize it's capped around 1-2MB/s, far worse than basic disc read speeds.

Trust me, HDD is worth your time. I can effectively use my PS2 with no memory cards now (still nice to have) due to FHDB booting from the drive and OPL's virtual MCs.

I know I can use hotkeys in PCSX2 because I did several years ago, but I don't remember how.

Do I have to install a plugin?

>>159124530
A 1050ti is a bit over a 770 and over a 960 so no it's not overkill unless you only care about native or 2x res also The price performance ratio is in favor of the 1050 right now (on the Nvidia side of things obviously but PS2 emulation and AMD aren't a thing) unless you can find a 960 for really fucking cheap but then in a mini ITX case it pays to have something that uses less power so a 1050 is pretty much the better choice all around.

I'm using the standalone. Too arsed to use Retroarch despite wanting to learn how to use it.

Should also mention I was recording with OBS, and even with that shut off, it's still having the same problem in the same spot. Did a hard reboot and the result is the same. Turned down the graphics settings to PSP like mode and same result. I'm having little trouble with other games.

Will probably use a previous version since I had no issue with it before.

Want to use CHDs with nullDC.
But for some reason my CHDs don't work.
They work fine with Reicast on Android (and on the Retroarch build but that's too slow for my atom pc), and they work with Demul (demul is too slow as well).
Any reason why NullDC won't launch them? I got the latest version of nullDC and it says it supports them.

>Dolphin's Vulkan backend now works with open-source drivers on my RX460

I think it's because of these two commits added just yesterday.

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?id=73592b92844af3c1298ef5e66e3055793443546d
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?id=e7b9c5eb74619dbda3f24928196ab8c8d9408c0b

Fixed a major issue I was having with Dolphin using the normal OpenGL backend. Works perfectly aside from noticing one graphical glitch in a game (battlefield background missing in melee), and my entire system irreparably freezes up forcing me to reboot sometimes. It seems to happen randomly after I play some gamea long enough, and I've found one method of loading up a certain level of a game that will freeze my system every single time.

I want to build something that I can connect to my TV and play some N64, some MAME, and some PSX games with my friends. Does anyone have a shopping list for that sort of thing? Controllers included.

I was considering a retropie, but I don't know if that'd be sufficient.

93 edition probably is a version that predates public release

(Saturns ads) is self explanatory replaces the billboard in race to those of the Saturn version)

Special Edition might just an official later revision of the game

Turbo is just a romhack that makes the game faster and adds monster truck mode (just the regular cars with oversized wheel models)

To the Maxx is another hack that adds a few gameplay elements, modes, camera view and a ghost function

GTX 2004 adds car upgrades.

Replaying .hack//G.U. Vol. 1 on PCSX2 but during the pre-rendered MPEG cutscenes I get pretty harsh slowdown. Is it because I'm running off a disc or is something else a factor? I don't have these pre-rendered cutscene issues with anything else on PCSX2 but those are all ISO files.

>>159248401
hi SP! long time

Does anyone have that Nintendo DS visual filters comparison picture thing that showedI think bianca from Pokemon Black2/White2 on normal, open GL, something else then /emugen/? It's used on /emugen/ OPs a lot.

>>159278687
Could be due to running it off a disc. That will damage your PC's disc drive over time by the way. It was not designed to be used like that.

>>159278923
I scarcely use the disc drive anyway and just pulled the disc because they're some of the only PS2 games I kept. I'll still download the ISO and see if that fixes the issues.

This doesn't affect me in any way, but I guess that's nice.

Okay. Here's my situation. I got an ePSXe 2.0.5 emulator and I'm trying to play Legend of Mana. I have a .bin file and a .cue file for the games. So...how do I play it?

>>159286390
>>159286390
Okay, first: why aren't you using Mednafen? Now, to answer your question: you're supposed to use the .cue file. If your source was good, things should work with just that.

>>159287745
Becase I never heard of Mednafen. I had no idea which Playstation emulator would be good to use. So I used what I found at the time.

>>159288413
Three words: check the Wiki. It's got tons of useful information. There you can find from how to use a PSX emulator to the games themselves. Go!

>>159288413
Seriously, how are you such a stupid fucking cunt.

How do you find this thread and not even bother to read the three fucking line long OP and then expect us to just spoonfeed you the exact answer to your question.

Fucking kill yourself, retard.

>>159288939
Don't be a bully Anon-chan

So, given how some PSX titles were kinda obscure, and hard to find due to that, I found some ROMs which, instead of multiple .bin files, had a single .img file that had all the tracks, or at least that's what the .cue linked to it said. My question is: could there be an issue with that? The games seemed to run fine, but only for the brief time in which I tested them.

What's the cheapest PC that can do GC/PS2 emulation well?

>>159293924
I'm looking at these OEM systems atm, but they'd need a GPU

I know AMD's FM2+ stuff can emulate it alright and I don't need to buy a GPU with that, but AM4 is right around the corner

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100019096%204016%20601190701%20601190702&IsNodeId=1&SpeTabStoreType=97&name=Desktop%20Computers&isdeptsrh=1

>>159294210
>I know AMD's FM2+ stuff can emulate it alright
I would never buy AMD CPUs for emulation

>>159295343
I've used from an A6 5400K (OC'd to 4ghz) to an A10 5800K

they all worked fine without a dedicated GPU even

I only ever need it for multi-player games and I don't even run it at like higher than native rez with high settings or anything

does 60fps no problem

>>159295487
>and I don't even run it at like higher than native rez
Then there's really no reason to be emulating

>>159293924
You could build a G3258 machine with a dedicated GPU for <$400, that would do PS2/GC very well.

>>159295621
Why would I keep a GC/PS2 around with 4 controllers each and all their games?

>>159295647
I could do it for $250 new with an FM2+ based machine

>>159293924
Something based on a G3258 and a 1050 should end up costing less than 500 bucks and run 99% of what you can run, PCSX2 doesn't agree with AMD GPU all that much so you might wanna avoid that, AMD CPU are not enough for all of PS2 and a few select games in other emulators.

>>159295731
>I could do it for $250 new with an FM2+ based machine
And you'd end up with a worse experience.

>>159295831
>>159295770
It's literally just for multiplayer games, it's going to be a fairly rarely used almost HTPC machine

>>159295731
The same reason why you keep a crt around so the games don't look like shittock

Reminder that Gonetz is a coding god, capable of having conversations about N64 combiner behavior with Angrylion that mere mortals cannot comprehend.

I knew that. MPC was a lot better a product than PCSX2. It seemed to Just Werk no matter what file I fed it although that likely would not be the case now with cutting edge tech passing it by due to it no longer being updated. But for back then it was like that. Even its fork MPC-HC seems less "Just Werky" although again that is probably due to the increase in complexity and feature sets expected of players now. I do recall there were some things that were emerging like heavily animated subs that MPC couldn't do (it just displayed them normally) by the end.

Shield and Shield TV are apparently different specs, I found out last week while investigating Tegras. The old portable people actually know about is a K1, but the Shield TV (as well as the unrelated Pixel C tablet) runs on a Tegra X1 with considerably more power in it.

>>159301589

No, the old portable is even weaker than K1, it's Tegra 4.

>>159301175
>'Angrylion' didn't code anything, angrylion is just an RDP verilog (from oman archives) that was dumped. Angrylion didn't code shit.
I distinctly recall Angrylion coding correct texture mapping behavior for Mischief Makers in GLideN64. He also assisted with Gonetz fixing colour sign-extend behavior which makes the Zelda intro look wrong on most plugins.
>And Gliden64 is nothing compared to parallel.
Good luck getting Parallel running above native resolutions, champ.

>>159302435
My bad, don't know how I messed that up. Yeah it was the Shield Tablet that got the K1.

Apparently the Switch devkits use X1s but we don't know if the final hardware is some custom X1 thing or a variant of X2. Given the heavy concept overlap between the Shield line and the Switch it makes me wonder if Nvidia's Nintendo deal is actually part of the same attempt to break into home console/entertainment as the Shields. God knows they weren't being successful before.

>>159327731

Why is this thread so dead? Why even bother making a new one?

>>159336126
Because we love emulation. We love the feeling of accurately emulating a game we like, a console we like! We're /emugen/, and we won't die, even if we're killed.

why is it when a core in retroarch crashes the whole program crashes rather than just going back to the menu? is it bad design?

>>159339812
Because SP has no idea of proper usability principles. He should just have it go back to the main RA menu with a pop up saying "BIOS is wrong lololol"

>>159339812

Depends what you mean by "crash".

If you mean a fatal error caught by the core then it's poor design, there's no way for the core to exit cleanly, it has to exit the program or keep running while doing nothing.

If you mean a hard crash like a segfault or something like that then it's because there's no sandboxing, the core runs in the same process as the frontend. That's good for performance but it doesn't leave any room for recovering from that sort of stuff.

I guess you could make it so RA forks when it starts a core and then communicate through a socket or something like that but it would complicate the architecture significantly, especially if hardware rendering is involved.

> twinaphex commented 32 minutes ago

>I don't use Windows

And this is why you will always be a second class citizen if you use RA on Windows.

>>159343276
I like that! Good man. Fuck botnet

>>159331782
You know all too well SP is as much of a fraud and a hypocrite as byuu is, he obviously has things to hide

>>159342810
Exception handling is not feasible across dynamic libraries. They would need to be caught inside the core, which would print error message to log and call the shutdown environ. Someone did this for Mednafen PSX already

Why does hyllian-glow.glsp look different (worse) than hyllian-glow.cg ? Also why is hyllian.cg working but not hyllian.glsp?

>>159342165

People sure do have high expectations for SP for some reason. Very few coders are also UI experts.

>>159346449

Does the shutdown environment turn off the core without shutting down RA? If so that's nice, although I feel like there should just be a boolean return value to retro_run that would return "false" when the core is done running.

Also there's still no user-friendly way to display an error message for the user. It's either in the logs or you have to display it on the screen but since you can only have one message on the screen at any given time it's pretty limited.

>>159346972
Yet somehow every stand alone emu has a UI designer or had one at some point in its development to throw one together. We thus tend to assume they just kind of grow on trees and are a given. Oh right the only reason why RA's UI is shit is because SP insists on building his own from scratch rather than just throwing in a dependency to have a prebuilt one he can just throw options on.

>>159347609

What kind of premade UI would work for RA across all the supported platforms?

>>159343276
Why are Windows users like white people who complain about "reverse racism" every time a software doesn't cater exclusively to them or give them extreme preference?

Radius had already done some stuff with nuklear : https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/blob/master/menu/drivers/nuklear.c

>>159347717
You don't need to make a UI for all platforms. You make a UI for PC using a PC UI toolkit and then keep the existing shitty one for mobile and consoles.

>>159347970
It isn't even Windows users alone in this case. A PC UI toolkit would work on Mac and Linux too if you choose the right one. It's SP catering to Wiifags and Andrones.

>>159348393
>A PC UI toolkit would work on Mac and Linux too if you choose the right one.

Those have a tendency to be shitty outside of Linux. Also stuff like Qt is a huge dependency.

At least nuklear is small, and is completely platform independent, and you could do something like ZSNES UI that everyone raves about.

>>159349139
>Those have a tendency to be shitty outside of Linux.
You're the only one that thinks so. SP shouldn't have a problem serving up shit to people not using Linux though.

>Also stuff like Qt is a huge dependency.
Muh dependencies

Why are you guys always obsessed with doing everything yourselves just to avoid dependencies?

>ZSNES UI that everyone raves about.
It's shit. They're just used to how shit it is.

>>159347609
RA's UI is not shit if you want something joypad driven. I only wished joypad driven UIs were a standard feature of emulators, most of them have no provisions for controlling with a joypad only.

>>159349802
>RA's UI is not shit if you want something joypad driven.

Because dependencies increase the size of your program. It's bloat if most of it is not being utilized. There's enough of that already with ffmpeg and glslang.

>>159350517
>Because dependencies increase the size of your program.
Are we living in the 1980s that this matters for the average program?

GUIs are very utilized.

It's basically named Super Autism, you can't help that.

>>159349753
>You're the only one that thinks so.

Mac OSX and Windows have their own native UI toolkits, everything else either is just an abstraction or some bloated shit ported from Linux. None of them work exactly the same either. Write once run anywhere native toolkits are a pipe dream, see byuu's hiro which can only implement features that work between all platforms.

>>159350694
>Are we living in the 1980s that this matters for the average program?

Size always matters. The current generation of bloated apps is cancerous.

If the GUI is just a couple of simple dialog boxes with options, are you really utilizing the entirety of Qt's massive code?

Better just to go with immediate mode, lightweight toolkits instead.

>>159348263

I wouldn't pin my hopes on any m64p dev lol.. Although I do appreciate his efforts, despite the fact that HLEing the fmv's aren't too important. I think HLEing factor 5 games or even WDC would be more worthwhile. T3DEX would be nice too, but I don't expect anyone to go out of their way to implement that.

GLideN64 would be better if every active dev liked the plugin... Too bad different devs are interested in different video plugins. Unless Gonetz starts collaborating with more devs, I don't think GLideN64 will ever be great.

He HLEd the game's background rendering ucode. Which is far more useful. Glide64 uses a shitload of hacks to draw the backgrounds.

I'd settle for someone figuring out how Turok Engine games render dynamic lights. Gonetz has no idea.
>GLideN64 would be better if every active dev liked the plugin...
The situation isn't helped by developers who can't see past "this plugin won't work on a potato". I mean, some of the "top" N64 devs are people who can't even use Glide64 because it's to demanding on their shit PCs. They use fucking Jabo's Video, and then claim that they can't really any major problems with it.

The GLupeN64 chap is doing some good work. And of course Angrylion has provided crucial advice. Then there's another chap named standard-two-simplex, who has been working on improving the plugin's texture handling, since that is one of its biggest weaknesses currently.

I don't get this supposed competition between PARALLEL and GLideN64. They're very different beasts. One is trying to basically be fast and accurate, while the other is trying to be very fast, a bit less accurate, but "pretty". They serve different purposes. They both help advance N64 emulation by bringing new understanding of how the N64 itself works.

Mudlord keeps coming back. https://github.com/gonetz/GLideN64/commit/2656436217eea12b8647d10d5452ec98c9fc4b4f#commitcomment-19705956 Remember when he wrote a hardware accelerated noise generator for GLideN64 and then quit before finishing it because /emugen/ hurt his feelings? Weird dude.

What's so special about GLupeN64 other than the fact that it now allows you to use GLideN64 with frankenmupen?

>>159394702

Oh ok, I guess that is useful.

>I'd settle for someone figuring out how Turok Engine games render dynamic lights. Gonetz has no idea.
Turok was a fun game. I wouldn't be surprised at all if one of the RSP experts would take interest in fixing HLE in those games, if there was a good HLE plugin that could run well on toasters.

>They use fucking Jabo's Video, and then claim that they can't really any major problems with it.
Even Jabo's has performance issues in some games like Dark Rift. Its framebuffer emulation is very slow, except for the hacks in games like Mario Kart and 1080 Snowboarding.

>The situation isn't helped by developers who can't see past "this plugin won't work on a potato".
If you're talking about PJ64 devs, aren't they looking into speeding up Glide64?

SP hates Gonetz and GLideN64.

The dev has been working on improving the plugin, and he's been helpfully backporting key improvements to GLideN64, and discussing stuff with Gonetz.

Figuring out the lighting ucode would fix Turok 2, Turok 3, South Park, and Armorines. I mean, it's not world changing stuff, but it's a definite feather in someone's cap. Conker and Majora's Mask had undocumented lighting ucodes that were reverse engineered. The Majora's Mask one seems a bit faulty, though.

>If you're talking about PJ64 devs, aren't they looking into speeding up Glide64?

It's a mess. Zilmar is obsessed with the idea that performance should always trump accuracy. One of his bright ideas is that the framebuffer hack behavior from Jabo's plugin should be added to a modern plugin and then every single game should have a series of per-game hacks to bypass framebuffer to RAM copies.

Gonetz would never let that shit fly in GLideN64. A set of per game hacks for every single N64 game that does frame buffer copies is bullshit. He's made huge accuracy improvements over other N64 hardware plugins by refusing to per-game hack around certain issues and finding a correct solution that fixes a wide range of games.

Even PCSX2 isn't that bad. The little Linux-lover doing PCSX2 graphics tried to adopt general solutions where possible. "Let's just per game hack everything" is a great way to fuck up your emulator long-term.

>Zilmar is obsessed with the idea that performance should always trump accuracy.
I'd rather have an inaccurate emulator that runs full speed than vice versa.

>One of his bright ideas is that the framebuffer hack behavior from Jabo's plugin should be added to a modern plugin and then every single game should have a series of per-game hacks to bypass framebuffer to RAM copies.
Why is this a problem?

>Gonetz would never let that shit fly in GLideN64.
There are plenty of good things Gonetz won't bother doing, such as fixing LLE triangles.

>He's made huge accuracy improvements over other N64 hardware plugins by refusing to per-game hack around certain issues and finding a correct solution that fixes a wide range of games.
He still uses per-game hacks for games like Winback.

>A set of per game hacks for every single N64 game that does frame buffer copies is bullshit.
How's that any worse than not doing any framebuffer emulation at all? People suggest simply turning off framebuffer emulation if you need better performance, yet per-game hacks would be a nice solution for people who need the performance and want to see the framebuffer effects.
As long as the option to do "accurate" framebuffer emulation is still available, I don't see any harm in this.

>Figuring out the lighting ucode would fix Turok 2, Turok 3, South Park, and Armorines.
Wow I didn't know South Park used the same type of Gfx ucode. Kinda interestin i guess. If only there was a good HLE plugin than ran full speed on potatos..

>>159397853
>He still uses per-game hacks for games like Winback.
Exception to the rule. Look at Pilotwings. That's a case of actual accuracy improvements improving multiple games. His accuracy improvements for Zelda have fixed Paper Mario. Stuff like that.

>How's that any worse than not doing any framebuffer emulation at all? People suggest simply turning off framebuffer emulation if you need better performance
GLideN64 is already very fast.

> yet per-game hacks would be a nice solution for people who need the performance and want to see the framebuffer effects.
No, no. Zilmar's idea is that using per-game hacks for every game should be the go-to solution. Zilmar's a guy who won't change the default plugin from Jabo's yet because people with shit PCs can't run anything better.

GLideN64 is not exactly a slow plugin.

>>159398347
>No, no. Zilmar's idea is that using per-game hacks for every game should be the go-to solution.
I highly doubt Zilmar would delete the current framebuffer code and replace it all with per-game hacks. Even Jabo left the option there for users to decide.

>Zilmar's a guy who won't change the default plugin from Jabo's yet because people with shit PCs can't run anything better.
From what I understand, the problem is either OpenGL having terrible support or the code is poorly written. People say that they got better performance when using the D3D wrapper for Glide.

>GLideN64 is already very fast.
Even Gonetz has said that it's slower than Glide64. Unless you just meant the frame buffer emulation part? I can admit he did a good job with framebuffer emulation. Not sure if it can be sped up further without using per-game optimizations.

>GLideN64 is not exactly a slow plugin.
I'm pretty sure it's still extremely slow in games like Nintama Rantarou.
