Your best bet is to get the PAL release if you can't afford or get the ps3 version, the NTSC release has speed issues and choppy framerate due fuckups, this was fixed in the PAL version which came a bit later.

Thanks brother.

How can I get Pokemon Y or Alpha Sapphire to run on Citra?

I followed all instructions, made save folders, copied many different save versions and none of that shit worked. I'm sure the folders are right because right clicking on game on citra and selecting "open save folder" for those pokemon games opens the folders I've created.

Anyone got a good save or something? What am I missing?

I was pondering playing games that are not the 1st/second party type, this would do. I don't get the nostalgia goggles people have for the N64 though.

Lakka looks good but I can't use it. It feels so fake. It's like installing a macOS skin on Windows... fucking PSP ripoff. Just no.

So are there any "menu drivers" I could download or am I stuck with he ones that come with RA?

Maybe if you can get it to run. RPCS3 is currently too hard for me to get to start a game. While I may have just been being stupid, I swear I did all the right steps and then it would just crash after the first loading screen.
I will wait until it can select its own LLE modules.

Yes. On original hardware, that's how it's supposed to look.
A lot of emulators (I think even the VC emulator) will produce a clean fade-out instead of an effect like that.

Your best bet is usually speedrun videos especially with how autistic about versions the SM64 community is, issue is you need to find one that triggers the specific effect you're looking fro and I don't think this is done at all in any speedrun.

How do I overclock the emulated CPU in PJ64?
Didn't realize how sluggish these games were

>>167924824
>A lot of emulators (I think even the VC emulator) will produce a clean fade-out instead of an effect like that.
It's a noise dithering effect. Noise emulation is super fucking important and a lot of emulators don't do it properly. GLideN64 was the first hardware plugin with a half decent implementation.

Managed to sort of make a backassed solution for P3FES problem by making a simple AHK script to toggle between two GSdx configurations whenever I hit the middle mouse button, so I can just hit it quickly when entering/leaving Tartarus. Might be useful for other games like Yakuza where settings that fix one thing break something else.

Script used:

; Toggle PCSX2 graphic settings then trigger GSdx refresh
#IfWinActive ahk_exe pcsx2.exe
MButton::
SetWorkingDir, E:\Programs\Games\Emulators\PCSX2\inis
if FileExist("GSdx_2.ini") {

}
Send {F9}{F9}
Return

>>167931564
Does this happen even in the Opengl renderer?

>>167931865
Yeah, oddly enough it happens even in the software renderer. Only the TC offset seems to fix it, and that breaks portrait animations. Those can be fixed by triggering a GSdx refresh in certain locations (the dorm is usually the easiest) but then will break some other textures and effects (floor tiles in school get minorly corrupted, the moon looks all fucky during outdoor scenes and during the floor select in Tartarus, in-battle quote background gets messed up)

So best solution seems to be to use offset when dungeon crawling and disable elsewhere.

>>167931952
Which version of the emulator are you using?

>>167932003
1.5.0-dev-1838

It's a known issue though and has been around for years. The TC offset to fix it is mentioned right there in the tooltip.

>>167940615
It has a high parity with the PSP for 99% of what you're looking for.
2x integer screen, front/rear touch mapping, two sticks (and potential for mods to use the second natively), everything a Vita can do.

PSX can be achieved by PCSX ReARMed via RA or wait for theslow to release his update to Adrenaline (PSP sandbox CFW) which allows PS1.

Memory cards are hit and miss and complaining is beating a dead horse 8~16GB is good enough for budget (yet still expensive, but complaining isn't solving that).
Recent development hints at USB mass storage support on PSTV, but obviously it's not portable (without a dekavita).

Based on what prices you can find them at, a 1000 has the "better" OLED screen, weighs a fucking brick, and shorter battery life.
The slim is probably a better all-around machine for potential portable emulation.

>>167944378

>>167947384

http://ngemu.com/threads/svn-repository-for-virtual-jaguar.112761/page-16

>>167940615
It's an upgrade, but I wouldn't call it a good one.

Its CPU is really only marginally better than a PSP for the purposes of emulation, which is enough to bump SNES and GBA emulation to being playable (inb4 subhumans claim it was playable on a PSP), but it's pretty underwhelming.

I would say a n3DS is actually a better option since it has a faster CPU and the ability to run GBA and NDS games natively. Though the 3DS has a lower res screen (but at 240p it's perfect for many retro systems), and unlike the n3DS the Vita can emulate PS1 games thanks to its much better GPU, so it depends based on what you want.

I wouldn't pay for either of them just for the sake of emulation though.

Apparently the guy working on Demul is responding and fixing issues listed on Github.
Despite this, there is almost no activity on his forums and github. Is there any reason why memers gather around re(pipe)dream instead of testing stuff for demul?

>>167953042
He only brings out releases once a year, but p1pkin is very receptive to feedback, yes.
I should probably play more stuff on demul in order to give more feedback. I just rarely get the urge to play DC games.

>>167953657
The thing is, everything I tried worked fine with no perceivable glitches so I don't even know what feedback to give.

I assume if there was a more active community around it, more glitches would get unearthed which would be hard for a layman.

>>167953934

I built myself a retropie box housed in an old NES. Trying to fiddle with it, but can anyone tell me how to get a Wii U Pro Controller (2 of them) working with this thing?

1.) Do I need a bluetooth dongle first? I thought RP3 Model B had bluetooth capabilities out of the box.

2.) I read over this page ( https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Wii-U-Pro-Controller ) and it says something about "Jessie-based Retropie setup". I'm running the latest Retropie, which is 4.1. Confused about what any of this means. I just put the Retropie img on an SD card and had itself install. What's this about Jessie?

>>167960196
>I have never used Linux and I bought a raspberry pi

I hate your guts

>>167960363
What's wrong with learning Linux on raspberry pi? Sorry for not buying a thinkpad and installing gentoo on it, feget.

>>167960094
I've never used a Raspberry Pie, but the setup instructions seem pretty straight forward.

Since you need to have a Debian-based OS to use your Pro controller, you have to install the latest Raspbian as your base OS, and install the RetroPie setup script on top of that.
https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/
Then enter the command line and follow the instructions they listed.

Honestly, this is probably something you should ask on a community based around RetroPie, like a sub-reddit or an official support forum or something. You'll likely not get any help for this on 4chan.

>>167960363
And here we see the autistic Linux user, scaring off new users. We expect to see him on /g/ later complaining that not enough people use Linux.

>>167961106
You are learning nothing since you are using premade crap and following readmes like a monkey.

To answer your question: nobody invented a new OS called retropie, it's just a bunch of stuff running on top of Debian Jessie Linux, so you're fine

>>167960196
>Jessie-based Retropie setup
Nothing important based on what I read.

They probably changed some shit with 3.5 which made it "Jessie" based onwards.

Just follow the instructions.

>>167961223
>Since you need to have a Debian-based OS to use your Pro controller,
But
>or use RetroPie 3.5

He only needs his Retropie 4.1 since I doubt they would just remove the feature to add bluetooth controllers post 3.5.
Or it would have been mentioned.

Retropie is just plug and play, and follow the readme.

>>167961223
That's what confused me. Lots of info seems to be from 2015 or older and mentions jessie-based or RetroPie 3.5, and nothing on 4.1 mentions "jessie" at all, like that's easy for anyone to just figure out.

Several things I've read mentioned bluetooth dongles, and lists of which ones work best, but I thought that the RP3 was bluetooth enabled out of the box or I needed to buy an external device. That answers that though, so thank you. I won't let the underage scriptkiddie get me down.

>>167961478
That's what threw me for a loop as well. There are a lot of sources out there, it's just a matter of finding what's most current and "just werks". Thanks!

>>167962003
> like that's easy for anyone to just figure out.
I would just trial and error these things.

It's easy to reinistall if you fuck something up.

RP3 should be bluetooth enabled by default, if articles are still talking about 3.5 then they're obviously talking about pis without default bluetooth.

I have some experience being a vgturtle in my field. I'm applying for things ironically, like applying for a job that requires 5 years of experience with only 1. But the slow and steady always win the race, right emugen?

>>167964391
You should unironically still apply for jobs that you believe you can do, even if you don't have everything they ask for. As long as you also tell them why you think you can.

The old Six Axis controller driver is the first thing to come to mind: trying to get PS3 controllers to work on PC was nonexistent, but sure enough, the Chinese come out with this Motionjoy program that made PS3 controllers work... BUT it was inside this shady as fuck program that was probably dialing home to the motha'land.

Why can't normal developers make things that work, while China makes things that work, but also adds tons of unwanted shit in it?

Actually there was some libusb driver for sixaxis controllers long before mij, but it didn't have a GUI so normies wouldn't use it.

How long do people think it'll be before cemu can run breath of the wild. Im sure if they really wanted to they could forgo overall optimization and focus on just this one game, but I think they'll worry about nintendo shutting them down if they do that during the Launch period.

>>167987497
if it's legit reversed, they will not get shut down. They might get a c&d, but then the source would be leak immediately and it would be a moot point. It'd be better for Nintendo to just buy cemu.

>>167996145
it's possible but i'm trying to come up with strong features and i've got nothing

Can't find a ZSnes core anywhere, what gives?

>>167996201
Too many to list but I'll give you a few
-Better audio/video sync (soudns like a meme but trust me, if you get used to it it's hard going back)
-Shaders
-It's way more convenient than setting up a different emulator for every system
-Most of the cores are actually pretty great emulators

>>167996803
then it's true that i need to git gud because i can't notice the input lag on standalones. shaders are cool and they're even better recently since you can configure them per-core (per-game too?). unified settings are OK but setting up stuff on standalones is trivial and you only have to do it once so it never bothered me. a couple cores on RA are unique and in some ways superior to the standalone versions but the vast majority are equal or worse because they're just outdated versions.

name 1 (one) N64 emulator that isn't shit

>>167997212
>unified settings are OK but setting up stuff on standalones is trivial and you only have to do it once so it never bothered me.
Yeah, but say another friend came along and you wanted to set up a second or fourth controlller? Different hotkeys for functions like save-states, raise/lower volume/take, screenshot are also unified, your savefiles and directories in general aren't all over the place, it's more portable since you get some standalones that like to store configuration files outside their main folder etc

>>167996368
Why in the fuck would you want that? If you have a toaster just use snes9x 2010

Is it me or retroarch is a bitch to alt+tab while running fullscreen? Any fix for this?

>>167998314

It's not friendly to Alt+Tab. I have to do it like 10 times until it actually works. If I window it, it works, but I don't wanna do that because it looks like shit due to my setup (Frontend running below RA).

>>167998626
No not really it just happens instantly, that sounds more like your frontend is trying to hide your desktop or keeping the emulator window foccused at all times.

Just got here. The only way to play PS1 on Vita natively is on 3.36 using the PS1 bubble exploit. But even then it's flawed where you can't bring up the setup menu. In order to adjust the settings like bilinear screen filtering or just remapping controls, you need to fiddle with the config file itself. What I did was use a legit PSone Classic to make a configuration, then copy and paste that file for another game. This entire PS1 bubble exploit only exists for 3.36 because it was patched for later firmwares unfortunately. It was either release it for 3.36 or wait absolutely forever until Henkaku 3.60 which no one could've predicted in the future. What you can do right now for 3.60 is get into PSP mode hack and play the eboot that way.

>>168003505
PCSX ReARMed should be better in the long run.
The official PS1 emulator in the Vita is far from perfect.

>>168003687
I know POPS is flawed since it failed to boot some of my games (on any POPS) like Rollcage Stage II, but I can't stand actual emulators because the sight of anything other than 100.0% speed triggers me.

>>168003806
Megaman Legends is prone to inexplicable slowdown in the marketplace and cutscenes.
Suikoden II is prone to crashing.

Both on official.

>>168019705
Because it's one of the only reasons to use Cemu right now. Plus it's easy to compare with Dolphin, since it's a port of a Gamecube game.

When Twilight Princess HD works well, people will post about that.

>>168019705
Because it's the only thing that runs well?

For me, it's because I wanted to see how well it would work for my sister initially, to see if it would run alright on her laptop. It's therefore the only game I bothered to download and then I found this issue.

>Considering it only happens for a single game and is more likely to be a bug than an inherent flaw
Gee anon it's almost like the main reason the cache is invalidated is to avoid random bugs

>>168020013

Sonic Heroes, Timesplitters 2 and Monster Hunter Tri have been broken on Dolphin and ignored for almost a decade now.
Why exactly are you defending dolphin's incompetence so vehemently?

I'm not defending them I'm just telling you that your idea is shit for the same reason pruning the shader cache all the time is shit, it's a "good enough" solution that only invites you to not work on a better one.

You are doing nothing but defending their shit implementation of a software renderer especially considering that they have already stopped working on better solutions of tons of games. At least a software one would allow me to actually play the game instead of using hacks to disable poorly emulated effects.

Probably because it might have german/french voice acting

>>168023887
>What exactly are you trying to imply here?
Simple

>>actually trusting the wiki
You're trusting random user that might or might have not fucked up, which is really no different than trusting random people on here, good example being the TS2 article where the two latest test have conflicting result where one has only two minor issues while the other has more visible texture issues

>>AMD user
AMD has shit OGL driver it's not exactly news, Reinforced by the fact that the person with the least issue on TS2 uses an Nvidia card.

>>168023964
>Yeah better trust a literally who on an anonymous imageboard
>implying having a name attached top what you say stops you from spouting bullshit
Not to mention that if those test are so trustworthy you could have referred to the second one that mention there's pretty much no issues but hey that would contradict your own point so better ignore that.

>>168024757
>which is really no different than trusting random people on here
Then why exactly do you have a problem with someone trusting the wiki when you are asking the guy to trust you?

Dolphin's directX backends aren't outdated so this is completely irrelevant.

DX11 still isn't to par with OGL everywhere on Dolphin, and on that game in particular it dips heavily for no particular reason so yes it is relevant.

misaligned textures

Turn off texturing filtering or run at native res

Anyone have any experience emulating Turbografx16 games in MAME?
Trying to play Night Creatures. I have the rom but it's saying one or more required files are missing. Software is parent, it says it's supported and the romset is called nightcr.
Not used to using MAME so apologies if I sound dumb.
I'd prefer not to use Mednafen

>>168025345
>>wiki contradicts itself
How so?
The earlier entry only mentions testing one level while the other one mentions multiple others
If anything, its makes a case against trusting you stronger.

>>168028115
>The earlier entry only mentions testing one level while the other one mentions multiple others
>"in story mode there were graphical glitches everywhere"
If issues were everywhere that would include the first level, and I doubt he would have omitted issues like that if he bothered to mention the grey line at the edge.

Super Mario 3D World emulates very well

as well as being a better game, WW is full of flaws

So I'm playing pikmin 3 on cemu and it works fine besides this game breaking graphical glitch I'm experiencing. The glitch is that the screen slowly turns black when I go to the pikmin selection screen, so I can't actually see the screen to select the pikmin. It goes away if I exit the menu though. Here is a picture of it in the process of happening, is there a graphical setting I can tweak to fix this?

/r/Emulation's new Discord's pretty good. Shocking.

Why not use the mednafen core in retroarch? That's easy to use.

>>168034256
Not when you're phone posting.

Is there a solution to this, the game is difficult to play when I can't get pikmin out

>>168036438
Press minus to switch to screenview, then hold tab to view the screen.

>>168036590
The exact same thing happens on both the tablet mode and screen mode.

>>168036859
Yeah, I thought it probably would. I swear there used to be a setting to turn off texture compression or something. Is that still a thing?

>>168020452
>saying an usable SW renderer is good after 10 years of PCSX2s "just use the SW renderer lol we're not fixing that right now"
That's better than Dolphin's situation..

>>168020121
>Dolphin devs would've worked on a better software renderer as the hardware one is the source of many random bugs
Ikr. Can't take those devs and their fanboys seriously. How can they claim to care about accuracy and preservation, but not even make a decent software renderer?

>>168037089
08:17 <@Twinaphex> Dolphin keeps regressing badly there
08:17 <@Twinaphex> plus their software renderer is very inaccurate
08:17 <@Twinaphex> entire color formats are not implemented at all
08:17 <@Twinaphex> it’s funny that they bashed N64 emulation for so long
08:17 <@Twinaphex> N64 emulation actually has a perfect reference software renderer
08:17 <@Twinaphex> the one in Dolphin is garbage
08:17 <@Twinaphex> so much for ‘accuracy uber alles'

Yesterday SP wrote that on irc, and some paid shill is repeating it endlessly now.

>>168037687
I don't think SP can afford to pay a shill.

>>168037089
>That's better than Dolphin's situation..
>only half decent renderer is nvidia exclusive
>better situation

>>168038161
No, but the Dolphin devs can.


wait a minute

>>168038161
It's not like SP is going to make his own GC/Wii emulator either. Sure he may make a core for Dolphin, but it's not gonna be updated regularly enough to keep close to the upstream and at most it's just gonna have a couple of hacks to make some stuff work a bit better/differently.

>>168037687
SP is right though. Dolphin devs are either phony or just plain stupid. I too found it ironic they bashed N64 emulation, when N64 emulation is honestly in better shape (accuracy-wise). All Dolphin has is a half-decent hardware renderer.

>>168038161

top kek

>>168038180

I'd rather sacrifice high resolution in favor of accuracy and no shader stuttering..

>>168038621
>I'd rather sacrifice high resolution in favor of accuracy and no shader stuttering..
If you care that much bout accuracy there's a solution to your problem it's called use the original hardware.

>>168038767
>If you care that much bout accuracy there's a solution to your problem it's called use the original hardware.
You're right. Dolphin's not good enough, so I'd rather use hacked Wii instead. I merely tried Dolphin a few times to see if it lived up to the hype and was disappointed.

>>168038621
Compatiblity >>>> Accuracy

Emulation will never be accurate ever

>>168039050
>I merely tried Dolphin a few times to see if it lived up to the hype and was disappointed.
>falling for the hype about anything ever
3D system emulation will never be at a level of accuracy you can truly say is indistinguishable from the real thing so might as well not get your hopes the farther you go in gen the worse it's gonna be, Dolphin just happens to be a bit less terrible than most but it's still heavily geared towards enduser experience rather than true accuracy or whatever.

>>168025904
Why don't you prefer to use Mednafen?

what are you talking about Dolphin being bad, games seem to work fine here. Maybe i'm not playing the obscure enough titles that run like shit on it

>>168037687
>Yesterday SP wrote that on irc, and some paid shill is repeating it endlessly now
People have been saying that for months
Just because you crawled out from under your rock recently doesn't mean the world changed in a few days.
Hell I remember people criticizing Dolphin devs about their shitty software renderer when they were spreading FUD about portable shader caches being implemented in Cemu as not being "accurate enough" for dolphin

>>168039280
>>168039390
I'm not one of those "cycle accuracy or bust" people, but I really dislike when people's words and actions don't match. These Dolphin devs claim to be all about accuracy and preservation, when their actions say otherwise. It disgusts me that they use "accuracy" as an excuse for some flaws in their emulator. It's now pretty much a meme to use accuracy as an excuse to a particular problem. I've seen other devs use that excuse too, like for GLideN64. Somehow people are naive enough to think some hacky HLE hardware renderer is too accurate to be able to run full speed without requiring Nvidia users to enable performance mode..

I'm not saying I'd exclusively only use a software renderer, but I think it is useful in some cases. It's always nice to have a fallback. What bothers me the most about Dolphin is the shader stuttering.

>>168043795
i use my wii for gcube games but i imagine they mean that it's bad in the sense it's not accurate and filled with inconsistency that you wouldn't find on a normal console, for a emulators that pretends to be accurate it does make the emulator look bad inthat regard.

you average end user probably doesn't care though. most people are okay with just being able to get from start to finish with no crashes/game breaking bugs.

it's like with byuu an updating higan/bsnes. he keeps pushing updates that the end user doesn't give a shit about (plus wasting his time adding other emulator cores to higan) because we already got the entire snes library perfectly playable 20 something versions ago (hell even more)

How do I properly change the "Content Downloader" URL from Retroarch?

I'm setting up my own server with ROMs (which i plan to redirect to Archive.org romsets)

There is this setting on the configuration file:

core_updater_buildbot_assets_url = "http://buildbot.libretro.com/assets/"

but when I set to my own url with the same folder structure, with core, console and roms:

Like: core_updater_buildbot_assets_url = "http://mycustomserver.com/assets/"

It displays nothing on Retroarch.

What am I missing?

>>168044759
>i imagine they mean that it's bad in the sense it's not accurate and filled with inconsistency that you wouldn't find on a normal console
Its not even that
They pretty much give bullshit excuses for not having features implemented.
Read this retarded shit a dev posted for not having portable shader cache:
https://www.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/5nm0a4/with_cemu_170_allowing_for_transferable_shader/dccpxpy/

Then you have the stupid reason for literally no Wii Motion plus emulation which forces you to buy hardware to even play those titles.

oh and I completely forgot to mention about the holy grail of their incompetence, the Dual core option.
Dolphin has practically no support for multithreading. Their FAQ details what they did with the dual core option but its glitchy as fuck and can completely break games. This has been the case for at least half a decade but there has been no progress to actually fix it. In fact the devs have recently moved to depreciate the option by not accepting bug reports with that option enabled and having it disabled by default. This leads to a very stupid situation where multiplats tend to run better on PCSX2's software renderer than Dolphin's hardware one because almost every single processor nowadays has more than a single thread.

>>168045676
Red steel 2 is pretty great though

read the wiki before asking

too bad it barely tells you shit
where do you go to download games? Like DS games and the like? I don't know how this stuff works and the wiki really isn't helpful

>>168046298
There's a fucking page called 'ROM/ISO Sites'

HOW IS THAT NOT CLEAR?
