Yeah, this is old news, but I haven't been up to speed on translation patches lately. How well do these run in Retroarch/Mednafen? I cannot test myself at the moment.

No it doesn't. Wind Waker is one of the lightest GC games to emulate it runs it 20-30fps with drops down to 3fps.

That marcan42 guy who hacked the PS4 is pretty capable in low level/hardware stuff. Why don't the emudev scene have more people like this guy instead of fucks like Squarepusher who do mindless frontend refactoring all day that doesn't contribute to the emulation accuracy? Even byuu can into reverse engineering.

>>164149303
Those types of people are white hat and don't want to be involved with emulation and shit.

>>164149303
Hi marcan42. Stop trying to bait SP.

Why is Ps2 emulation so shitty?

>>164149303
>Even byuu can into reverse engineering.

Not really. He wishes he could but he mostly relies on others for decapping or low level hardware analysis.

>>164149303
Despite being insanely talented, marcan and other console hackers are immense moralfags.

>>164149792
>or low level hardware analysis
If that's the case, then what did he actually do?

>Why is Ps2 emulation so shitty?
because recaptcha hasn't blessed it

Just wait until our lord and savior thegangster256 optimizes hps2x64

I'm having problems using any games. I recently built a pretty highlevel pc but everything still seems to have terrible lag when I play it despite dolphin saying it's running 60 fps like in super monkey ball

and I get this weird glitch in Paper Mario The Thousand year door where frame rates drop to 30 then jump back up to 60 at set intevals.

It feels like you've repeated this phrase hundreds of times on here, like it's your nametag. And it's been wrong every single time.

It's obvious you know nothing about programming, though. And good job taking a shit on frontend coders for no reason.

>>164155191
not him but I agree that sites like 3DSchaos should clarify if their roms are encrypted or decrypted, often times they don't.

>>164156290

>>164156290
You can manually decrypt most CIAs to CCI for use with Citra on your own PC.

>>164157841
No, you can convert decrypted CIAs to CCI, you can't decrypt without a 3DS.

What's a good keyboard to Pad mapper?

Citra doesn't seem to detect my gamepad

>>164158506
Oh no

Yeah, Retroarch uses a database file that can automatically list romsets with thumbnails and boxart and cheats and all that fancy shit

But it also skips over some games, and it most definitely skips over translated roms and romhacks. I have to manually launch those all the time.

And last I checked, Gameboy Advance boxart and thumbnails were utterly broken and missing, Gameboy wasn't complete, and NES had some missing art.

I don't know what to tell you, RA is an ambitious project, it's the kind of shit I set up and put on a jump drive so I can stick it and use it anywhere

Best n64 emu for android?

I have a nVidia shield tv so the hardware is beefy enough, assuming anything works

I am not very bright, when I try to run PS1 games in Retroarch, it just closes with no error message or anything. After searching for some time, I found out the problem may be my BIOS files, my scph5500 and 5501 match the checksum, but my 5502 did not seem to and I cannot for the life of me find the same one anywhere. Can anyone help?

>>164149527
Because the library is enormous and there's only a couple of guys working on it. If it had a team like dolphin's then it'd be the Mac daddy. It works fairly well in my experience, it's just a bit of a beast to wrangle due to per game configs being necessary.

Can I somehow port a SNES savegame from my android Retroarch to a SNES emulator on the PSP?

And what snes emu is best on Psp? Thanks

>>164197639
Copy the .srm file to where the PSP emulator wants it.

The PSP it too underpowered for decent SNES emulation. PSX only works because it's more like a virtual machine.

Regardless SNES9xTyl is the best iirc.

>>164200401

Can you guys please help. I recently built a high end and all of my dolphin games are super laggy.

I don't know what to do and I've been trying to get this shit to work for 3 years. It's one of the reasons I built the pc.

I've seen tons of videos and set them all to the recommended settings to improve speed and noting works. I read somewhere that my i7 processor may be downclocking and I have no idea how to fix this.

>>164206221
You will have to give us some more information, you can't expect people to be able to solve your shit if all they know is you're trying to run dolphin and you're using some i7 cpu, that's nothing

is there a specific setting to make ff12 izjs run more smoothly on pcsx? most of the time it's fine but when there's a few too many enemies on screen, the fps drops quite low.

Alright, I suppose I will just try to Google around more. It just closes with no error message, which is a bit of a pain to work with.

Is there a way to have a input that press two buttons at the same time on Retroarch.

I'm want to do that with Nestopia.

>>164207142
Are your bioses in the correct directory?

>>164208997
Try others. What format are your roms in? Should be bin and cue, run the cue.
Make sure your renderer is correct too.

>>164209528
I have the cue and bin, I just told it to scan the folder and was trying to run it from whichever it grabbed.

>>164209682
Try telling it specifically to run the cue. Where did you get it from? Might be a bad rip.
If you're using RA then maybe make sure that the core renderer is the same as the main video renderer.

>>164210131
Yeah, still nothing with running the .cues in particular. I left the video driver on gl, which was the default I believe, unless that is not what you mean. I am not so bright.

>>164210442
Try it in software mode. If that doesn't work then I'm not really sure what the issue is.
You did unzip the BIOSes, right?

>>164210676
Yeah. Neither core works even with different video settings.

>>164211121
Try a different game I guess.
It really does sound like a BIOS issue though.

>>164211576
Okay, the software core worked after I went back in and specifically selected the .cue files again. The FPSes are sub-30 though.

>>164211767
Internal resolution higher than 2* will cause slowdown even on a pretty good pc.
Turn off rewind as well if that's on. It causes a lot of slowdown.

Best controller for my 5.5" android phone?
Better if it comes with a holder for the phone

>>164212196
Will do, although this sounds like if I could just get the HW core running, it would be better than cutting things back to try to get the software one running better.

>>164212412
Yeah. What are your specs? Does your GPU support vulkan and the newest OGL? It may be necessary for the hardware core to work.

Do the different GUIs in RA affect performance in any way?

>>164212609
I have an i5 2500k, GTX980. All the other problems I can find people having with this seem to get white windows and black screens before it crashes, but my just closes smoothly as if I had chosen to exit.

Try an older build maybe if possible. That's all I can suggest really. You'd probably have to build it yourself but I'm not smart enough to teach you that.

>>164212750
I don't see why they would. It closes when games are playing anyway, unless you disabled that option.

They use more memory, but is quite negligible.

I like glui with the shield color scheme.

My prefere is rgui (it's also the one that use less memory) but the spacing on the fonts is kind tight, i prefer the glui use of all the space.

Wish i could make glui transparent like rgui when you press the menu button.

>>164213249
I use XMB mainly because I do like cover art, but I have to admit that looks pretty good.

Some time ago I tried RA on windows with the d3d driver instead of opengl, and the only GUI I could choose without crashing was rgui.

>>164214213
>>164213249
Only glui displays the full title of roms instead of arbitrarily cutting off after a certain point.

I was playing around with the debug exe and I managed to get this if it helps at all. It seems the HW core is forcing Vulkan despite what I set it to in the settings.

Check that it isn't the main video driver forcing vulkan. Or change the main video driver to vulkan, see if that works.

Drops to below 30 fps regardless of settings for most games.

Except for Paper Mario and the 1000 year door where it will run at 60 then drop down to a random rate every couple of seconds.

Which is why I asked about downclocking with the i7 processors. I saw a comment about it but i don't remember where.

"and pandering to the 98% is a problem, because they don't have the best interests of preservation at heart so really need their hands forced if they're going to be helpful to the cause rather than a hindrance.

projects like this, and RA give them an easy way to not be helpful to the cause at all, and when you're talking about such a large %, that's dangerous, so I find the project entirely irresponsible. "

Ooooh the butthurt is strong in this one.

>>164231249
Hope. Literally. It's the guarantee that this thing you have or could have will never be sealed off forever at some future point, even if you never fucking will do anything with it. When all the current OSes are dead and buried, there's still the old source code to this random project you will never actually port, which you understand is totally ready to port any time you feel like wasting your time.

>>164231835

He is right, SP or mudlord doesn't care about accuracy or preservation.

17:44 <@Twinaphex> 90 to 95% of the talk about ‘accuracy’ is a lot of nonsense
17:45 <@Twinaphex> the people talking about ‘accuracy’ have no idea how most of these systems wokr
17:45 <@Twinaphex> it’s mostly all vanity talk
17:45 <@Twinaphex> and most of the time ‘accuracy’ is an excuse for ‘can’t get it running fast'
17:45 <@Twinaphex> we all know who the worst offender of this is of course
17:45 <@Twinaphex> so that doesn’t need repeating

What's the fucking point of emulating these old games if you can't play them? That is the end goal, isn't it? Accuracy is definitely important but if nobody can play the damn game then what's the point of the emulator? If you can't play the game you've failed at preservation.

Any emulator that is not MAME is a worthless toy that is anti-preservation.

Why haven't you contributed to MAME yet?

In Majora's Mask it did something similar in Darmani's flashback scene; the framerate was low (definitely slower than on console, like it was in the single digits) and it just got slower until it stopped, but the music kept going at regular speed the whole time. That scene had heavy motion blur and a monochrome shader over it, so I think it has something to do with that, since it slowed down for me in Zelda's flashback scene after the Spirit Temple (although that time the sound slowed down too)

>>164233665
At one point zsnes made sense. These days it doesn't. I can see the argument that less accurate emulators are dangerous because shitty romhack devs write code specifically for them, but 'huur programmers are retarded' isn't a problem unique to emulation.

Anyway, I want to play PS1 games on my rpi3 but Lakka hard freezes if I try to use a PS3 controller wirelessly and retropie is even more of a hacked together piece of absolute shit than retroarch. The fuck do I do?

How the fuck do you configure gamepads for PCSXR? It keeps auto-setting everything to the right analog on a 360 pad because the controller plug-in doesn't deadzone to allow for assigning buttons.

I'm willing to to give you the rest but I could argue bsnes mercury's improvements.

>>164233678
>Cen64 and PJ64 > Mupen
CEN64 is not ready and is very slow, though it probably deserves a port regardless, and PJ64 is only a little better for a couple of games that Mupen can't run.

>Exodus > Genesis Plus
Can't do Sega CD, also terribly slow even on modern hardware

>Epsxe > Mednafen
0/10 m8. Read the disclaimer on the PS1 tests page.

>TwoMbit > Genesis Plus
This is probably the only valid one on your list. TwoMbit is cycle accurate but Genesis Plus GX's Master System (also known as SMS Plus) is still quite good in the meantime.

>Demul > Reicast
Closed Source, cannot be ported. Redream is a more likely candidate.


>SSF > Mednafen
Closed Source, cannot be ported. Mednafen is likely already close (or even better in some areas) to where that old emulator is at in accuracy.

>Magic Engine > Mednafen
Hahahaha

>higan > those old bsnes cores
Most of the relevant changes have been backported to bsnes-mercury by Alcaro. Most changes to higan have been for non-SNES or regressions like forcing 512x480 everywhere.

>Standalone PPSSPP > PPSSPP

Post the flat version so you can see the whole thread for context

http://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=360727&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&vc=1

tl;dr Haze pitches a fit over Robbbert and Mamesick making a curated arcade-only version of MAME(UIFX), claims it's anti-preservation.

>>164235523
plugin based emulation is a clusterfuck desu but it is kinda nice when the mainline emulator stops being developed and at least the graphics can still be improved

that said I still maintain that retroarch's mednafen fork looks easily as good as epsxe with the resolution upscale while being somehow less of a clusterfuck even with the bios requirements.

>>164235686
Megaman Legends with the custom graphics tweaks looks like a Gamecube game. It's magnificent.

>Lakka hard freezes if I try to use a PS3 controller wirelessly

I would report that to the Lakka devs, they might have a solution/workaround.

>>164235760
I tried saying something on the irc but there's been no response

gonna try opening a github issue or something next. From what I can tell this is a problem of the kernel drivers being weird - no problems with any kernel version 4.4.x or higher, but lower and there's hard freezes.

>>164231835
Haze is likely pissy about their old MAME cores that they maintain. Certain MAME devs have a long history of bashing anything and everything that's not their official, latest release.

he's correct about that, but the problem is that if older builds aren't maintained and sets preserved, eventually that fucking faggot will leave us with a mame that can't run games at fullspeed that used to run just fine on older pentium II & III machines.

Are you guys willing to help me figure out what's wrong with the newest Mednafen PS1 HR core that keeps crashing on me in Retroarch?

I've made sure the BIOS files are properly named and are in the system folder, the CUE files are named properly and don't have any mis-matches between what's written inside and on the .bin, etc. I know they aren't fucked because using the non-HR version of the core works perfectly.

Post some screenshot of the settings, and tell us what version of dolphin youre using

Is your harddrive old? There is some sort of bottleneck going on, Im using an SSD

>>164248559
I'm using 5.0. My hardrive is brand new. I do have ssd memory but I try to save as much as possible since I have my operating system installed on it.

The problem seems to be when I actually enter a game or when something new pops up, it slows down radically. The titles are usually a constant 60fps. Then if I enter the game again, the things that we having trouble load fine but the rest lags.

If I close down dolphin and start it again, everything that was working fine stops working fine and begins lagging again. I can play the first three levels of a game if I close and open it about 4 times but then the fourth level will lag.

I have everything set to recommended settings from the dolphin faq.

>>164249684
There has to be something wrong with your hardware. You don't have graphical issues in any other game?

For future reference, the wiki has a link to the archive.org GameCube USA ISO dump.

>>164252624
Video driver? How do you check for that?

Just fucking with you. GeForce Game Ready Driver 375.95, slightly outdated. In any case I already did the research, the HW requires your GPU to be compatible with OpenGL3.3, and my 750ti is precisely that. I doubt it's a driver issue.

>>164253613
I meant the one in RetroArch. That driver should have no trouble with Vulkan pretty sure.

>>164252534

Bookmarked.

>>164253006

And this one too.

>>164253613

Open the "retroarch.cfg" with notepad and search for "video_driver =", there it will be the driver that retorarch is using.

>>164254784
Well, fuck me. I tried changing the driver in the settings and running it before, only now I noticed it always reset itself to "gl" after the crash. So I changed the driver to vulkan in the .cfg file and it finally worked.

Thanks man.

Which is better quality for the Dreamcast games they released on steam? The steam releases or emulating them?

>>164255865

>>164255370
The PC ports on steam come with the usual shit port package but they're serviceable and should run fine, a few have add additional fixes that make them better but not by much, they're all more stable than Demul in general.

A few other DC game got windows ports outside of steam (like SEGA Rally 2) but those are a different beast and you're unlikely to even find any help on how to run them but you can always try if you're good at dealing with that shit.
