"Zero Hard Dependencies" just means you can compile it without any dependencies. By default, it will probably include them all in normal builds.

Hard dependencies are bad unless they are 100% required for the program to function.

No emulator supports 256 mappers - there are several mapper numbers (30+) that are unassigned/unused, and Mesen supports more mappers than either puNES or Nestopia

Anyone here who is an expert on arcade/neo-geo stuff?

I try to launch this with all the different FB Alpha cores on retroarch but none of them work. I also tried mame but it just initializes forever

So I figured it must be something wrong with the game, but I have no idea to see why. So is there anything wrong with these files? Does it miss the bios or something?

>>162692440
Not him but You really need to realize that when you make an emulator for NES, you go software only. You don't make an emu to stand the test of time that uses a fucking graphics API that will be deprecated

>>162692587
The DX code is probably less than 1% of the entire codebase and can easily be changed if needed. So that's not much of an argument.

>>162674579
>so i guess pkmn puzzle league doesn't work still right?
They added a hack to get it working.

>>162691779
It's something to do with vsync being on I guess, but OGL lets me do it with vsync on and vulkan with vsync off looks really choppy.

are you trying to play a neo geo games?

you need neogeo.zip in the same folder as the game you are trying to play

so lets say i want to play metal slug 1

you need to have in that folder

Mslug.zip
neogeo.zip

then just choose the core and then the game


don't extract neo geo games or they will not work

downloaded the latest FBA core and metal slug + neogeo.zip and it worked

Oh I forgot about that. Well yes i have the neo-geo bios in the same folder as all the other games which are also zipped

It's really weird. Some games work some dont, though I think most games do work from what I've randomly tested. Metal slug works fine, but I cant seem to run 1941 for example. I DLed a neo geo rompack a while ago from mega so I have no way of knowing that all my games are as they should be

Reminder that you should support faithful ports of games by buying Turok PC on Steam. It is a full remake of the game using the assets of the original ported to a new engine. It includes options like further draw distance, and other tweaks. It is the balance between faithful and enhancements. Also it's WAY better than N64 emulation. It features full mouse+keyboard support. Platforming is a total chore on the original game. Plus, my laptop can run Turok at full speed 60fps, but most N64 emulators cause it to chug.

If they get enough support, they will do more games. Right now Turok remake didn't sell that well. He's currently working on Turok 2.

If you think 20 dollars is too much to pay for Turok, wait for the sale in Christmas when it will go for 10 dollars.

>>162694054
cores not working like what? you select the core and it states that there is no core selected? something like that?

Also just as a small sidething, whenever I close a neogeo game I get these files stored in my hard drive, not inside a folder or anything, just unorganized with all the main folders in my entire drive. This didnt happen before

>>162694092
20 dollars is too much for a steam game, let alone a retro game. $5-7 --- $2.99 on sale.

>>162694384
those are just save files

>>162694993

The sales have spoiled you. I too prefer to spend only 60 dollars on sales, and that means buying a bunch of games. But go to a real game store. Everything is 30-70 dollars. 10 dollars for Turok is fine.

>>162692987

need a saturn and psone emulator for consola, which console is better to emulate these ones?

>>162695212

Yeah, original PC Turok release is a pain to get running.

>>162695102
I'm not sure what your point is at this point - the SDL code can be reused as-is for Windows. If DX11 somehow becomes deprecated in 2027. it can easily be fixed. Also, no technology is future proof - current versions of SDL, or any other graphic library may not work 15 years from now, either. And "software" rendering is still not future-proof - GDI may no longer be supported in Windows 2027 (and well, good luck drawing with GDI without horrible tearing, so the point is moot)

>>162695081
keep shilling your fucking game

>>162695750

Not my game.

But think about it. If every game got this treatment there would be ZERO need for emualtors. Emulators are just nerds porting games to PC via the most round about method possible.

>>162694092
Way too expensive!

Why are there so many FBA cores? is there not one core that plays capcom games and neogeo games?

>>162694092
You also forgot that they nearly doubled the movement speed and expanded all the maps to account for it.

you don't need to navigate through the menus

Can anybody tell me how the hell to get these crackles off of Dolphin? Does it have to do with the fact that it's Wii emulation maybe? I can run a GC game i've been playing fine with no sound issues, but when I get to the Wii game, the sound crackles horribly. I can fix it by switching the sound to OpenAL and turning up the latency, but I seriously hate the sound delay. Is there any other way to fix this or will I just have to deal with it?

>>162707258
You basically copy-pasted the code with minor alterations, my man.

As for the latter, you should see your post history on the pcem forums, reddit and vogons. Maybe you'll manage to beat your amnesia.

>>162707432
No, I didn't, actually. I have no fucking clue where ANYBODY got that idea from, as there are no other projects that currently emulate the NV3 and NV4.

Also, decoding 1080p video IS less demanding on modern platforms than x86 emulation BECAUSE IT'S HANDLED BY DEDICATED HARDWARE. God, are you stupid, dude?

>>162707136
I second this. Where do I get up to date MAME roms?

>>162707881
envytools isn't an emulator, jackass. It's a bunch of documentation on nVidia cards. It would've been IMPOSSIBLE to write this emulation without it, for ANYBODY.

>>162707953
Sorry, I did make a typo there. My bad.

Battler said decoding 1080p video should be harder than x86 emulation. Because he could play youtube videos at 1080p, he should be able to emulate x86 with no problem.

>>162706945

I don't remember, I played it some sixteen years ago.

But I'm 99.9% sure that yes, I did. I had the game lent from a friend during for a weekend. I didn't finish it, though.

Why the fuck did 2 days ago, all my roms were working fine then today some of them dont? Same exact file and core

This is dildos. The gamecube version runs great in Dolphin but the audio crackle crackle crackle. No fix seems to be available online. If I had a capture card or something I'd just run it off my Wii U but thats a lot of money I'm not willing to spend.

Those wacky old days. I remember that sort of thing mostly from the old (elitist) Tom Clancy games.

>>162718853
Right now it's windows only, DX11 only, no exclusive fullscreen so the accuracy difference doesn't justify it.
If it ends up having better mapper support than anything else like planned, overclock support like planned and all that I mentioned above there won't be any reason to use anything else unless you're running on a device that doesn't have the power to do it Or you're one of those people that think tile replacement is a thing people should pursue.

>>162718907
I'm using Linux. I couldn't get custom resolutions working at all under Windows. I have an Intel 4500MHD, so drivers are shit.

At first I tried 3840x240 like every google search told me, but I couldn't get it to work at all. I figured 'fuck it' and tried 320x240. Didn't work.

I tried cvt, gtf and a bunch of different timings more or less at random until "gtf 320 240 121" worked.

It's bizarre. 120 doesn't work, 122 doesn't work. 121? Works.

Before I got it to work, I had good results with "gtf 640 240 120". The trick is that instead of scaling through xrandr, which makes it blurry as fuck, you just set the retroarch aspect ratio to 8:3, as 640 is double 320.

>>162718529
Anyone know if I can restore old cores somehow? Is there a way to build a previous version of a core? Mednafen-HW has become slow and unplayable with its most recent update.

Didn't we just have this conversation?

Only FCEUX has better mapper support at this point (it supports ~35 or so more UNIF boards, that's about it - totalling about as many bootleg games (most of which are XX-in-1 cartridges), and nothing else). Overclocking support has been in Mesen, for a long time. Linux support is in the works right now, and in fact, Mesen does support HDNes' HD tile replacement feature (partially).

>>162723081
That's done the job. Still can't increase framerate past base for some reason but at least it isn't running sub 60fps anymore.

>>162723563
>Only FCEUX has better mapper support at this point (it supports ~35 or so more UNIF boards, that's about it - totalling about as many bootleg games (most of which are XX-in-1 cartridges), and nothing else).
From the author himself:
>"There is no official list of mappers - so the 220 figure is a guess based on checking what other emulators implement. As far as I know there are only 2-3 (iNES) mappers that FCEUX/Nestopia/etc implement that Mesen doesn't yet (a bit more than that on the UNIF side, but virtually all UNIF games are bootlegs that most people don't know about)."

>Overclocking support has been in Mesen, for a long time
I thought it was just planned not already there.

>Mesen does support HDNes' HD tile replacement feature (partially).
Well I can't I care but good on him I guess.

>>162723719
Does Mesen still use iNES?

>>162723719
>From the author himself:
You're misreading what I said.
I meant FCEUX+Nestopia+other emulators combined defined 2-3 iNES mappers that are not supported in Mesen, yet.

But either way, we're talking about mappers for games that nobody will ever play - so honestly, I'm not sure why people are so bothered about support for games they never saw, never will play, and for the most part are terrible chinese hacks/demakes.

>>162723796
There is unfortunately nothing better to use. UNIF roms aren't much better, NES 2.0 is supported, but roms using it pretty much do not exist.

>>162723863
This
>"(it supports ~35 or so more UNIF boards, that's about it - totalling about as many bootleg games (most of which are XX-in-1 cartridges), and nothing else)."
Implies that only UNIF stuff is left unsupported

Then
>"As far as I know there are only 2-3 (iNES) mappers that FCEUX/Nestopia/etc implement that Mesen doesn't yet (a bit more than that on the UNIF side"
Directly contradicts it by saying there are 2-3 iNES mappers that aren't supported on top of the UNIF stuff.

>>162723639

>>162723796

What other mapper system is there to use? Genuinely curious.

>>162724091
I'm not sure how to explain this any better.
The iNES/UNIF mappers Nestopia and FCEUX support are not mutually inclusive. Some of Nestopia's may not be supported in FCEUX and vice versa, which explains what you are pointing out as a contradiction.

Again, this whole thing about mappers is irrelevant - an emulator that supports the top 50 mappers would probably be able to play every single game you would ever want to - so when it comes to 200+ mappers supported, it really doesn't matter. It's mostly about a feature you'd never need/use.

This is interesting, since I should be emulating an analogue controller.

>>162724318
Vulkan is currently a meme. I haven't found it to be any better than GL so far.

>>162724320
It's better to throw headers out and do it the same way as bin/cue disc images.
You have one file that is just a plain dump of the ROM and another plaintext file that contains info on how it's mapped.
bonus points if it is implemented in a way where the emulator can emulate any mapper using the info in the file.
that way bumfuck pirate and theoretical carts can be played without needing to change the core emulator.

byuu should have done this instead of ROM folder BS and MAME should do it too.

This way you have a clean static file that is the data as it was and a third party descriptor file that can be adapted and removes the need for databases.

>>162726669
Is Byuu not emulating the way in which the actual SNES reads the actual ROMs though? It may seem like a dumb way to do things, but if it's the correct way to do things then it's understandable.

>>162726669
>It's better to throw headers out and do it the same way as bin/cue disc images.
Hard to justify going back to a multifile system when it's all neatly packaged in a single one.
Same reason .pbp is better than .bin/.cue

I can't figure out how to use the Sega CD set on archive.org that's linked from the wiki. I'm logged in, but I'm not seeing anything that looks like games.

>>162727262
What kind of justification would you have, if it was that sorely needed NES2.0 would be standard by now like .bin/.cue is for most CD based system.


Also, if you're gonna use a multifile dump system why not just support .prg/.chr/.mpr (dunno what else to call mapper info file) straight up, would simplify self dumping tremendously and prevent proliferation of multiple concurrent standards.

>>162726669
you do realise that that concept is EXACTLY byuu's rom folders right?

>>162726842
I'm talking how it is stored on the file system not how it is emulated. Emulator side it should be the same result.

Speaking of byuu, his ROM folder thing was a colossal failure. The idea of a folder-cartridge is not bad itself, it just wasn't worth the cost.
At the time he was pushing for unheaderd .sfc to replace the .smc "Does it have a useless header?" lottery as the standard format for SNES ROMs so bsnes only ran clean ROMs ending in .sfc. Unlike NES headers on SNES ROMs are completely useless and need to be stripped anyway. Had byuu stayed the course I think it would have happened much like how mednafen is slowly cleaning out the trash in psx land.
When byuu wanted to do accurate mappings he decided to throw it all away and go with his own folder based format. The change was too much and was of course rejected by the majority, even alienating core advocates of bsnes.

If it was me I would have just gone with an extra mapping file. You load rom.sfc and if rom.foo containing the accurate mapping info exists the load it otherwise fall back on heuristics. this would have been compatible with every other emulator and the status quo. Users need not worry if the don't want to change what they are doing and the accurate mappings would be more accessible to those that wanted it.

At least it didn't effect running games I guess.

>>162727128
.pbp is only better because of compression imo. The neat package aspect does not really matter considering it breaks patching,easy verification and consistency. MAME style zips are cancer.

>>162728681
>MAME style zips are cancer.
Most OSes allow you to use .zip as if they were normal folders so I really don't see your problem with it.

>>162728872
by "most OSes" you mean Windows.

It's bad because it's forced shit compression. If you are going to compress then do it right.
Having the compressed archive part of the storage format makes it hard to change to newer and better formats.

>>162729056
>by "most OSes" you mean Windows.
I'm almost certain there are solutions to browsing compressed folder as if they were regular directory on non-windows OSes.

>It's bad because it's forced shit compression
You're missing the point, it's more about reducing the clutter than actual compression

>Having the compressed archive part of the storage format makes it hard to change to newer and better formats.

Wanted to catch up on Pokemon since I haven't played after the GBA era, and so I was emulating with DraStic on my Moto E2. The thing is, it was running pretty smooth(as smooth as Platinum is able to, anyway), and then, after the first encounter in a cave(the one after the 2nd gym), suddenly it goes to 5fps, even if the battles afterwards run pretty smooth still.

Any idea of what might be causing this? I tried with another game(AAI) and it never once dropped the framerate.

>>162751130
I just want to play 3, but I never owned a PS2 so I wanted to emulate it. Wondered how buggy/playable it was.

>>162751280
50% of which are fork of FCE and the other 40% stopped being updated in the early 00's most of which couldn't more than a couple of commercial games.

Seems fine, just use the latest dev build and you should be good to go. Like I said it worked for me back in 2013 so it should be perfect now.

Retroarch's nightlies don't save anything but the most recent, can one of you upload an older version?

Alan Moore?

>>162751091
Yea it looks nice. With Vulcan GC games are running better. I'm not not sure what device is great for emulation.

>>162728062
The other one actually looks better famm

>>162751857
Yeah, I had this exact problem earlier today. I'll flip you this:

This one is newer:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28088576/mednafen_psx_hw_libretro.dll

Try them both. They both work fine for me.

>>162750707
good video anon

>>162752395
Thanks. I might do some more at some point to highlight the wonders of PGXP.

>>162752496
I think it was pretty noticeable in Vagrant Story and the intro to the game has some cutscenes, maybe try that?

Will PGXP ever be perfect because it has a lot of noticeable bugs right now and I feel like that will be inherent to the really hacky methods they're using.

>>162752638
things take time

>>162752698
I just have a feeling it's impossible to remove the downsides.

Still looks like this on the first one you linked. This is in opengl mode.

>>162751836
I guess I'll have to try. Thanks mate

Please post more. I love broken screenshots.

>>162753646
Well, I would except now I can't get the damn thing to show me anything but a black screen.

>>162752770
Interesting stuff. What do your core options look like?

Once, I emulated MGS on my Wii using WiiSX, that was hilarious.

>>162752638
Yeah, maybe at some point.

setting it to opengl causes ra to crash

Motivation pay is a thing. Pretty sure a dev feeling rewarded for a good job will help their motivation and then the project itself.

>>162754518
Update your drivers perhaps?

That may be an issue, not sure really how well beetle works with various different hardware types.

>>162751624
3 is fully playable afaik, not too heavy on the ressource either
You might want to patch your iso with this
http://asmodean.reverse.net/pages/ps2force480p.html
Makes stuff look slightly better at increased resolutions.

You also might want to set the EE cyclerate speedhack to 180% to get rid of all the slowdown in that game.

**AE2 in PCSX2 HW neverever though**

>>162756365
based, I'll check it out. I have a good machine, but I've heard too many stories of PCSX2 being a shit emulator.

>>162741404
Bilinear.

What even is this. How would this help and what will it break?

>>162758668
>What even is this
It patches PS2 executable to natively output 480p, doing that prevent having to deal with deinterlacing at all in PCSX2, it can and will break most games but a handful of them work pretty well with it like Ape Escape 3 and Fatal Frame 2, there's also a couple more games that are confirmed working in the readme.

I figured it out, I needed to set the 'video' driver in the RA settings to 'vulkan' instead of just setting the core video driver to 'vulkan.' Thanks for the help anyway anons, much appreciated.

>>162759327
I'm not sure, but with all that bullshit, I would just go with intel

intel seems to have a lot less issues with games in general

Any idea why crt-royale looks like that? It's not even noticeable in-game except some games.

First HP for example.

>>162761743
you maybe have overscan cropping on

>>162761743
>>162761908
Probably because they are 480i

>>162762293
so royale is not an acurrate crt emu after all

>>162761743
Because you're doing this:
640x480 * 4 > upscaled with CRT-Royale > downscaled to 960p

After dealing with harddrive issues I can't get my PS3 controller working in windows 7 again.

I'm using the SCP driver package. I've reinstalled my 360 controller drivers and the scp driver package to no avail. The controller isn't showing up in the scp monitor or the xinput controller tester. I followed the guide in the wiki and I'm going through the trouble shooting section

http://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/XInput_Wrapper_SCP

>Does SCPUser.exe show them working?
>Is the "SCP DS3 Service" service running?
Answer to both are these are no and the scp driver installer seems to suggest the installation went fine.

Anyone have any idea as to what might be wrong?

>>162762721
if the service is running, perhaps you didnt convert the controller driver

do you have this? Zadig?

replace the driver for your DS3

>>162762721
Can't help you with that m80, my 4 Dualshock 4s work perfectly with ds4windows :)

>>162762469
See
>>162762483

CRT is for native res only

>>162762947
The service isn't running from what I can see. I've never tried using zadig, but I will have a look at it.

this is exactly the kind of thing that makes people choose a xbjoy over a dualshock. fucking shit drivers. and they do it on fucking purpose.

I currently use DS4Windows but when I did use SCP here is what I did

>Plug in controller, make sure Windows understand that it's a controller with the controller icon in control panel

>Install SCP

>Use Zadig to replace the lib driver to WinUSB using the template file

MAKE SURE IT'S THE CONTROLLER YOU ARE CHANGING AND NOTHING ELSE

After all that it worked for me
