I believe the i3 has better single core performance. I'd rather pay the extra $ for the 7600k though.

>>170228842
To play emulators on your old CRT TV. Composite inputs are extremely common.

>>170265805

>>170267237
Theoretically i3-7350K should absolutely crush almost every other CPU in the market for emulator performance.
I say theoretically because there simply aren't enough tests for it to confirm this.

>>170268602
>I believe the i3 has better single core performance.
Yep, it got the best single core performance on passmark.

>I'd rather pay the extra $ for the 7600k though.
But it's twice the price anon

Why are some people so anti-shader?

Some people act like CRT shaders are the only shaders that exist.

>>170269035
>>170268602
Dolphin and PCSX2 have the option for dual and triple cores though. Upcoming emulators are more likely to make use of more cores too.

>>170269017

Dolphin doesn't

>>170269256
Cemu's site doesn't even list recommended CPU. Does it even use more than a single core?

>>170269484
It can do dual core, or did they take that out for 5?

>>170269476
yes

>>170269530
They are depreciating it now. They don't accept bug reports with it enabled and its disabled by default in the dev builds.

>>170269628
Fuckers.

As for CEMU, pretty sure it only uses one core.

>>170235318
BotW is an immersive sim tho.

>>170269679
>As for CEMU, pretty sure it only uses one core.
If that is true then an i3-7350K should perform well on it.

>>170269035
>But it's twice the price anon
well if the price gap is that big for you, then the i3 isn't a bad choice. Sales tax ruins good sites for me, like newegg. So for me, i5 7600k is only about 56$ more.

>>170269234
I heard that Dolphin's multicore support was no good. You're certainly right about PCSX2 though.

>>170269778
I don't think it's realistic to expect it to remain that way forever.

Would a Celeron really get the same performance of a FX if single core is what matters?

>>170270243
I thought the same way about Dolphin but if that is any indication, multicore support is decades away.

I'm trying to play Fire Emblem Awakening on Citra. I'm currently running BE 42 because it still has geometry shading (otherwise stages would be unplayable).
Is there any custom build out there that can do better? I'm mostly looking for FPS locking.

>>170270537
I think RPCS3 makes good use of multicore and multithreading.

>>170270715
That is because the PS3 architecture makes use of multiple cores natively. Even then it depends entirely on the game being emulated.

I've been without internet for the past week and just read that BOTW was playable on CEMU. Does it run well? Are there any setup guides?

>>170270901

You are blind. There's a link on the main page under the tutorials bit.

Emuparadise is the one place you should never get PSX games from unless it's the redump sets on their forums, which themselves are just found on archive.org. That's right, you can find working correct dumps readily on their site but they refuse to update or improve any of the garbage on their *actual downloads section*.

It fixes some major bugs that were in the original. The graphics are 240p though and there's no dual audio (if you wanted to play with the inferior, Japanese dub).

Yes, they've created a CGI video just to make millions off that PPSSPP download. They simply didn't expect they'll be dealing with a real IT genius.

Where do you get the Vmware SVGA II windows drivers to use in Qemu?

The vmware tools installer wont run and trying to install the video driver extracted out from that manually results in a BSOD. I found a driver on some Chinese site that works but it's from 2005 and glitchy as fuck.

Is there a way to use a newer driver? Searching for info on this brings up jack shit.

Searched all around for an answer to this and couldn't find anyone with a similar problem, so I'll try asking here--running Xenoblade Chronicles X 1.0.2U on Cemu 1.7.2c and all is fine up until I try to start a game, at which point sound appears to be severely delayed from the visuals despite appearing to run not far behind 30fps, and everything is dark. Also there's a white static-y box in the lower right.

Anyone know of a fix or cause for this?

Got the shadercache, trying to run it on a laptop with:

I will say it runs more or less fine (at full-speed) once getting into the game, though it does still seem to have some brightness problems. It's these cutscenes that are really jacked though.

>>170360143
I've heard of people having issues in xenoblade with some cards, even nvidia.
I'd suggest trying it without the shadercache (just append an x to the files or something, look for the ones in glcache in %appdata% roaming too and do the same there, so you don't have to delete and then recompile).

Except almost no TV could output the image at 8:7. It was stretched at 4:3.

>>170360676
>>170360101

my problem is this

4:3 on lcd (actually oled but I guess it's the same) is "intended" so circles are circles
but since horizontal pixels get stretched I get ugly text (I'm playing earthbound, tons of text)

8:7 on lcd the text looks better since it's not stretched but everything else feels "too tall", probably because the devs accounted for the 4:3 crt stretch

I cannot win

Hi,

today I got an irk of some N64 action and decided to fire up P64 and emulate me some Turok 2.
Sadly, it doesn't even get to the intro videos. It says "Emulation started" and the VI/s are at 61. Then they decrease to 59 and then to 5 and then nothing happens anymore.
I think I remember the last time I played it was year or so ago and I didn't have any problems. No hardware has changed or anything. The googles also do nothing. Anybody have any idea what it could be?

>>170361712

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_aspect_ratio

SNES and NES display with 8:7 PAR on NTSC TVs because of the pixel rate of their PPUs.

http://wiki.nesdev.com/w/index.php/Overscan

>The NTSC color subcarrier is at 39,375,000/11 Hz = 3.5795 MHz. The NES master clock is always 6 times the color subcarrier frequency because there are 12 hues on the NES PPU, and the color generator uses a double-pumped counter to generate the hue signal. So the PPU's pixel rate is 1/4 of the master clock, or 6/4 of the color subcarrier, or 39,375,000*6/4/11 = 5.3693 million pixels per second. (This pixel rate appears to have originated in the TMS9918 VDP used in the ColecoVision. The NTSC Sega Master System VDP and Super NES PPU use this same rate, as does the Sega Genesis VDP in the 256-pixel mode that several multiplatform titles used.)

>Multiplying the pixel rate by the scanline length gives 39,375,000*6/4/11*640/(135,000,000/11) = 280 pixels per scanline. The PPU puts signal in 256 of these and a border at the left and right sides. The color of this border is the same as the backdrop color (usually the value in $3F00). This makes the pixel aspect ratio on a 4:3 TV to be 240/280*4/3 = exactly 8:7, or about 1.143:1.

I'm thinking of getting into emulator coding, and I'd like to learn C/C++ to get up to speed on the (apparently) most popular language used to code them. "Most popular" based on going through the GitHub/Sourceforge sites on the emulators I'm interested in, and noticing that practically all of them are made in C++.

I've got a physical textbook on C from ~2003, but I know C11 was released ~2011, so I was wondering if any anons had links for good CURRENT resources on C/C++. Info. Sys./Meteorology double-degree here btw.

>>170372881
Oh yeah, are there any resources for understanding emulator-specific topics related to coding? Should I just go get a CS degree, too?

>>170372881

>>170373113
>Should I just go get a CS degree, too?
If your goal is solely emulation development, do not waste your time & money.

>Oh yeah, are there any resources for understanding emulator-specific topics related to coding?
After reading a few books and mastering the basics, it's best to just jump right in. I've learned a lot by simply reading and tweaking the code of emulators.

I think learning C before C++ is a good idea. Those beginner books teach more practical information. I recommend reading "The C programming Language". Very good book imo. It's also important to learn assembly.

Don't listen to anyone recommending you to start off with "easy" systems like Gameboy. It's a waste of time, unless you actually are interested in emulating those particular systems.

>>170373865
>It's also important to learn assembly.
I was afraid of this, and that's why I wondered about a CS degree.

>>170376112
There is only 256x240 of usable space. The PPU pads out the left and right with the background color. Why would you want that? You would never see it on a real system hooked up to a TV.

>The shape of the pixels is 8/7.

great, nerd.
so what do I set in retroarch?

>>170378845
It depends. Some games look better at 4:3, while some look better at 8:7. Just do whatever you think looks better.

When in doubt, go by the console's actual resolution.
The SNES outputs 256x224, which is 8:7. Since this is what the developers designed the visuals around, most SNES games are going to look best at 8:7, but there are some exceptions where the developer took into consideration the 4:3 ratio of TVs.

why is nintendo so bad?

>>170379760
Of course not. The shape of the pixels is what's 8/7. I don't understand why people don't get that pixel aspect ratio is more important than the display aspect ratio. Everyone knows that the DAR of CRT TVs is 4:3, but the consoles have different pixel shapes depending on their pixel clocks. NES and SNES just happen to have pixels shaped as 8:7 rectangles.

>>170380165
>I don't understand why people don't get that pixel aspect ratio is more important than the display aspect ratio.

I do but I am using emulators and lcd screen so I need to configure a setting.
This is not academia, I cannot tell retroarch to output rectangular pixels.

In SNES9x 1.54, the preferred aspect ratio should already default to 8:7 PAR.

Otherwise, you can set the config file aspect ratio to (256 * (8/7)) / 224 = 1.30612245 if you crop vertical overscan.

Why, what's wrong with assembly? CS degree is pointless imo, unless you're trying to get a job in that field.

>You wouldn't happen to know of resources for learning assembly language, would you?
Not sure how great these books are in comparison to others, but for x86 assembly, I enjoyed reading "Assembly Language for x86 Processors" and "The Art of Assembly Language" although I never finished either book. These days I usually just review the instruction set, or google specific things.

If you're concerned with optimizations, Agner Fog has written a lot of good information on that. For instance he has measured things like latency for each instruction on several cpus.

If you're interested in learning about assembly languages used in consoles, such as MIPS, ARM, etc, then the main thing you want to focus on is learning the instruction set. It would be helpful to know which systems you're interested in. You can try contacting emudevs, for great resources.

It's not noob friendly, but I don't think it's that difficult. I didn't really understand how programming works, until I learned assembly. Being able to understand the code that your compiler generates, is very helpful. Knowing assembly is also valuable for debugging. Be sure to practice a lot. Practicing makes a world of a difference.


Don't fall for memes. There's a lot of things commonly said, that are completely wrong, such as "compiled code is faster than handwritten assembly", "global variables are the devil", "never use goto", etc.

A better question is why are you using DeSmuME to play Pokemon rather than DraStic?

Zeromus has damaged DeSmuME beyond repair, and one of his main points of sabotage has always been Pokemon emulation. There's literally no reason to use DeSmuME if you're on Android, and even on other platforms it's useless for Pokemon games.

1000 Hz USB polling + Seimitsu/Sanwa gear wired to a USB keyboard PCB + GroovyMAME + CRTemudriver + PVM + BNC RGB cables + CRT upside down + 180° rotated monitor = less input lag than original arcade board.

Emulators have less lag than the originals.

What game? Did you check the wiki's recommended sites?

>>170391461
Fire Pro Wrestling Returns for PS2

>>170390875
Depends on numerous factors like display and input method, and whether or not you use vsync.

It's usually at least 1 frame with vsync on, sometimes 3-5 frames on some emulators.

>N64 emulation sucks because it's a complicated system.
No its not that complicated. Emudevs have access to lots of documentation. There is no good excuse why N64 isn't in good shape today.

Epic >>>/vr/ post.

Now go back there.

>>170392252
Just because they have stuff like the oman archive doesn't magically make the hardware any less complex.

>>170391632
Yeah, use the sites on the wiki. romulation is I think what I tend to use for PS2 but check the list just in case.

I remember when Notch said Minecraft would be open source too "eventually".

why 4:3 has it stretched? wasn't the standard aspect ratio back then 4:3?

>>170396827
Minecraft is a commercial game, cemu is a "free" emulator. You can't really compare the two.

Besides, decompiling minecraft is trivial (or it used to be, I haven't done it in a while)

So I heard that the hardware of the Switch is well documented, not sure if that's right, but would that mean the system would be easy to emulate?

Also would the knowledge of Android emulators out there help the situation? Since they emulate ARM chips and that's the stuff the Switch has.

How's Capcom vs SNK 2 on Dolphin?

So I've finally got my hands on unecm and using that...nothing changed to the file...now trying the ecm program it came with hoping that will work. Why the fuck is this so difficult? Just wanted to play some Fire Pro

>>170397992
even if you could emulate a switch you wouldn't want to. It depends on it's hardware as a gimmick.

>>170398032
Its terrible. Don't bother trying it yourself or looking at the Dolphin wiki. Its all fake news.

>>170397092
i never understood the mentality that "they closed source because they are hiding the fact that they are using illegal docs". It's not hard to cover your tracks. MAME devs still get credited for REing the N64's RDP and RSP.. Even though they clearly just copy pasted from oman's archive. They hardly did any reversing for the RDP or RSP, if any at all..

I think the assumption that they closed source, to continue getting donations, is much more logical.

>>170398109
what do you mean? Shit like gyro and HD rumble won't be used for every game

>>170398196
I should have asked how it is on GameCube.

>>170397992
No, software is a much bigger hurdle nowadays.

>>170398267
The HD rumble isn't even that impressive. I can't see it benefitting real games (as in non-party games).

man are people still asspained about closed source?

I have GTX 1080 / i7- 6700k @ 4.5Ghz. I'm playing Super Mario 3d World with shader cache and with graphics pack at 1080p.

Game runs generally 60 fps but for example in world 1-5, the circus themed one I get screen flicker and the game drops to 5-10 fps where you need to jump to reach higher level. It looks like it's related to screen buffering as when it flickers it starts to flash two different screens, so you can see the back buffer containing an image from different area...

I'm wondering is this universal or is it my setup somehow? Because people always talk how flawlessly CEMU runs and how you can play especially 3d world in 60 fps etc... But I'm having these small issues in lot of games (I know about the shader caching, but for this game I have a ready made cache...).

>you will never bully a closed source dev into quitting by spamming them with requests to open source their code

>>170400485
>you will never push the ePSXe dev down a flight of stairs

>>170400215
that world has some major issues, but from what I heard it's only that level that has that awful stuttering

>>170398109
Just buy joycons

They connect to PC's fine, and by the time Switch emulation is decent they'll be as cheap as Wiimotes

>>170400215
>i7- 6700k

>out of date garbage.

>Not using Ryzen.

>>170403046
they're more expensive than ds4's at launch, so...i doubt it.

>>170402821
I did some googling... Otherwise it runs great though. I have Wii U but haven't bothered jailbreaking it and it's huge difference to play in 1080p in CEMU, so much better.

>>170403110
Ryzen sounds like some kind of comic book hero?

The only thing what bothers me is that CEMU is closed source for obvious reasons. But because of this, Nintendo will probably try to make a lawsuit in the future. I've been surprised that they have been running so long without any legal issues.

can't get shaders to work.

what does aria look like with a de-saturation and crt shader?

>what bothers me is that CEMU is closed source for obvious reasons
like what?

Anyone know why N64 on my Nvidia Shield is only about 20-30fps? Is the Nvidia Shield just not powerful enough for 60fps?

I'm using RetroArch 1.4.1

They are using copyrighted code...

>>170406689
>They are using copyrighted code...
MAME for N64 uses copyrighted code and nobody cares.. I doubt CEMU is closed source because of copyrighted code..

I think money and control are the reasons for being closed source. Can't blame em when they are making 7900 a month.. Aint no way I'd open source if I had that opportunity.

>>170407064
and there are only 2 devs in the cemu team, right?

>>170407370
yea. Exzap and Petergov.

>>170407885
that's pretty impressive

>>170406595
No one?

>Is the Nvidia Shield just not powerful enough for 60fps?
You don't even mention which game(s) and which plugins you're using... It's a shame that PJ64 isn't quite polished enough on Android yet because M64p is bad.

2-4 months until playable Breath of the wild lads!!! HOIIIIPEEEE
