>>179834195
This is true
My brother beat all of Max Payne 2 on a Riva TNT32 which wasn't even supposed to run the game yet everything ran at sub-15fps and the textures were fucked due to lack of T&L
But that was over a decade ago

>>179837162
What do you expected from PCSX2? It'll never be good anon

PCSX2 today is like Dolphin 3.5 era, where everything ran like shit

>>179838648
Are you implying that we should expect PS2 support on Mednafen?

Hello,
I'm having some trouble with Dolphin on Linux.

No matter what I do, it always installs 4.0-7840 even though the repo has 5.0 .

It also fails to compile from the source.

What should I do to get the latest (nightly) versions?

>>179838648
Yes, the almighty Mednafen, everyday i dream that they pick a N64 project, because PJ64 is shittier than PCSX2, fuck me, PJ64 can't even handle FIRST PARTY GAMES!!

>>179837797
I know. I hear that all the time. But then I hear periodically that we give PCSX2 too much shit when it's actually improving, that it's escaping Gabest's ancient shackles or something and I wanted to see if it was bullshit or not.

>>179839918
By repo, do you mean the package manager's?
Also post the error log of the compilation.

You can make tests yourself to see how much it's NOT improving in any meaningful way. The only bullshit it's that they don't give up and start from scratch since PCSX2 will not go anywhere from his current state. Want more proof? Take a look at the wiki, almost every game has issues (and mostly not simple issues)

>>179840334
Anon, I'm pretty sure about you not having info to back my hopes up, but if you have a single clue about the PS2 support I'll would be glad to see it

>>179841043

>>179840898
That's so true. i have to change the configuration on the emulator for every game, EVERY game. And now it's worse because the wiki is down, PCSX2 is awful...

>Why aren't you not

So I'm using a shitty logitech F310 to play shit on
PCSX2, and it was working fine until a little while
ago, when it suddenly stopped being read. The controller works for any other game, (steam, etc)
but refuses to be read for PCSX2. I've tried fiddling around with the configuration settings, reinstalled it, nothing works, I'm at my wit's end, anyone know how to fix this?

>>179841420
I Don't know how to use this.
And i hate when the game forces you to use CRC hacks or skipdraw, you know that some effects will not appear or even make the game unplayable on certain situations:NFSU2 when is raining, Ace Combat 4 when all the planes go black....
I hope Play! thrives

>>179841303
This is the worst part. I can almost deal when it's able to fucking work and the errors are not too game-ruining, but the fact that you have to spend this setup period for every fucking game just makes me see red. Even after figuring out separate configs, the fact that you have to do it once for each game is still too much cancer to be exposed to.

>>179841745
A shame we don't have more people working on Play!, stuff is going too slow

>>179841684
Yeah, some games doesn't even receive the keyboard input AKA:Soul Calibur 3 NTSC

>Yes, the almighty Mednafen, everyday i dream that they pick a N64 project, because PJ64 is shittier than PCSX2, fuck me, PJ64 can't even handle FIRST PARTY GAMES!!
Logic not even once.. PJ64 + Angrylion's runs any first party game well (accuracy-wise).

>>179841872
Actually the part that makes me mad is mostly that people call this complete or fully working or "with no problems :^)". Like with Citra I'm fine with this early primitive garbage because nobody's labelling it as something else. It's a privilege we even have it.

PCSX2 and people pretending it is totally fine and functioning are, together, a fucking barrier to improvement.

>>179842035
Yeap, but the performance is terrible (not a single PC on this planet can run all games at fullspeed), we need some middle ground here

>>179842035
Yeah, accuracy-wise PCSX2 runs 24:The Game,Call of Duty 3, NFSMW perfectly on software mode, but running at amazingly 15FPS...
I'm talking about an emulator that runs good and at a good speed.
Angrylion is amazing accuracy-wise, but it's REALLY demanding, i can run some games perfectly(MK64, Star Fox 64, Legend Of Zelda:OT, Wipeout 64) but the majority slows down

>>179842145
It's funny when people point to the % of games on the wiki considerated "perfect", and you open each page and see a list of unsolved problems...

>>179842419
That's PCSX2 staff for you

>>179842694
That says playable, not perfect.

Though I would still consider a game being slow as not playable.

>>179842208
>>179842329
Joke's on you if you think Recaptcha can do better (performance wise) without even using a dynarec. Accurately emulating the N64 is very demanding. Someone will need to write an optimised dynarec for each N64 component, in order for people to get decent performance.

I do appreciate PCSX2's software renderer though. It's definitely more optimised than any N64 plugins.

>>179842119
I used to love this thing until I found out just how large the stick deadzones I've been playing with this whole time are (like 5-6% radius) after plugging in a Gamecube controller adapter, and now I can't fucking stand them. And then it gives nice fuckin' 0% deadzones on the triggers because everyone loves having a button that thinks it's being pressed. It's cheap but I'm annoyed that it's the standard.

I gave them the benefit of the doubt regarding their competence but now I'm sure there's none.

why aren't newer bleeding edge Citra builds recognizing shared_font.bin?

have the devs changed where the folders should be or what? I still have the font file in the user/--/roaming/citra/sysdata folder

>>179842775
My rules for emulation in this case are:
1% to 40% native speed = working
41% to 80% = playable
81% to 100% = perfect

>>179843401
https://github.com/citra-emu/citra/pull/2784

>>179843401
just put the user folder in the same directory as citra.exe, it'll pick it up.
>>179843645
that's not part of BE yet.

>>179843441
What? only the speed influences on your choices? what about the game run at 100% speed but no textures are mapped, you would still consider it perfect?

>>179843380
Can't even keep the site up and running, makes you wonder, heh?

>>179843441
For speed, but 100% speed with only 50% of the game working isn't even playable either.

>>179843778
No anon, I'm talking only about my perfomance "score", even a single texture warping around on a single scene is enough to consider it not perfect. Sound is a big deal for me too

Playable for me is a minimum of 90% speed and only minor glitches(some little flickering, some wrong shadows, things like that). If PCSX2 compability list would be remade, i think only 10% of the games would stay on playable..

>>179843156
Are you sure it's the gamepad that is causing the deadzones and not the software?

LilyPad (the default PCSX2 gamepad plugin) has gigantic deadzones in the default setting. You have to manually set them to 0 for every single axis.

>>179843757
Oh, my bad, you're right. But still, great news as the emulator is getting less dependent on the original system files

>>179844172
Sound is really important for me too, and the thing that made me hate n64 emulation scene, hear the sound differences on super mario 64 here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_swVxhsOj_w&t=27s

>>179842208
>>179842329
Have you tried ParaLLEl? They have an optimized vulkan renderer. It should run well, I imagine.

>>179844584
I Wish i could, my Intel HD 4600 doesn't support Vulkan, but if TinyTiger fully implements Angrylion plugin on Vulkan, i would buy a Vulkan capable gpu right way..

>>179844347
Nah, it's something you find out when playing Smash Bros and F-Zero GX, where it makes a big difference on the difficulty of both games. Makes you think you're just fucking bad from old age, not knowing it's a deadzone problem until you try the alternative.

>>179844498
>Sound is really important for me too, and the thing that made me hate n64 emulation scene
>using Project 64 1.6
I feel sorry for you.

>>179844792
Talking about F-Zero GX, did you know that the deprecated DX12 plugin ran the game perfectly? even the infamous Sand Ocean with fully emulated heat effect at wonderfully 60Fps without slowdown..

>>179844498
The massive volume difference this video was made with ruins my ability to actually compare them. I wish I had a musician's ear.

>>179844498
Dear god, even the timing is wrong on most tracks. Now I'm sad

>>179845001
I'm running the game just fine anyway without having to use a satanic OS, no loss for me. Non-ishiiruka stuttering was the worst though.

>>179844929
Well, i tried it again today, and the sound continues horrible on Jabo plugin and a LITTLE better on Shunyuan audio plugin(Project 2.4 N64DD build)

>>179845150
Are u using Vulkan?

>>179843757
I just put all folders, like config nand sdmc and sysdata on the same folder that citra.exe and citra-qt.exe are, and the thing still asks me for the shared font, should I put the font file in the same folder as the exes?

>>179845203
https://www.dropbox.com/s/8mngc7z2t40bbq4/AziAudio%20DS8%20WIP%206.dll?dl=0
use this plugin and manually disable fixed audio timing for most games.

>>179845525
Correct folder for shared_font.bin "user\sysdata"
citra-qt.exe should be outside of this folder to search for the file

Not funny

Why is Launchbox so laggy?
I like the features it has, but you cant scroll quickly without it locking up. Even on my 6700k 390x PC it does it. Even if its on a SSD it does it. Its not even using hardly any of my CPU power or RAM and its still does it. I got around 5000 games logged into it, and honestly for a frontend, thats really not a huge amount. Yet somehow its always playing catchup.

Never get that with Attract-mode. Its pretty well optimised. (Though kind of barebones)

>>179848648
>launchbox
shit caching algorithm.

>attractmode
this is an ok fe.

Windows Media Center has a program called "Media Browser 2.x and it has a good caching algorithm, but it runs as a service.
In the end it performs better than ALL other fe's. I don't know why MS got rid of it. It was something you had to pay for in win8.
Don't use the standalone media browser that's out now: it's a me$$ and doesn't even support emulation very well.

Is input lag a meme?

>>179842145
Please consider that the people who say that PCSX2 is fully working, are prolly people who play different games than you do and since those run perfectly, there's nothing to complain about.
I myself I'm kinda of in that train too, the games I replayed thanks to PCSX2 worked perfectly or had minor visual issues that weren't game breaking by any mean.

>you will never get personally blocked by byuu and have your username in the blocklist of all his userscipts

>>179849225
Its a shame since launchbox has some cool features, like being able to render box art and marquees on a second monitor, really good theme support that can be readily tweaked, music and video playback, a decent scraper and built in emumovies support. Decent library management functions.

If it performed as smoothly some of the other front-ends out there do it would be the de-facto frontend in my opinion.
(Since Launchbox and Bigbox have their own uses)

But it just shits the bed performance-wise, well, big box at least really suffers hard from it. Nothing I have done seems to help much. Building up the caches pre-made, turning off the animations, trimming the library, reducing the quality of the box arts. I really wish the guy behind it would stop adding fluff to it (its pretty damn fluffy already), and focus 100% on getting it running efficiently.

Setting everything up by hand in some of the other frontends is a pain. I'll still use Launchbox but honestly I might just ditch big box for now and just have launchbox auto load and sit idly by on the second monitor for quick access.

PCSX2 is in a state where most glitches aren't game breaking by any means. I can play through my game that either has fucked shadows or no shadows. But people say they're working perfectly and it's actually really goddamn rare that this is true, if ever.

If you can get one of those Android devices that are laid-out like gamepads it's the comfiest. But I think most of those are out of date hardware that could *only* run things up to about GBA and under.

Anyone have a general guess for when the HD texture pack will be finalized for this?

>>179888939
How much time Dolphin has in development?
How long you've being using emulators to compare one system with other that has no relation at all?
If you want to see a perfomance gain, change the code yourself (for real, you don't even need to know how to code, just two lines for at least 25% more speed|Tip = .ticks) or keep your eyes close to this https://github.com/citra-emu/citra/projects/3 , when that list is complete, you can jump in being sure about better performance (and a new world of errors/regressions, I guess...)

Pretty sure that will happen, anyway the best portable emulator right now must be a very powerful android device, like a S8-equivalent, whatever has a very powerful System on a Chip at the moment, granted this way requires you to also have one of those controllers on the pic if you want buttons. I don't think there is a very powerful android device with buttons, those are relatively outdated compared to the state of the art hardware in smartphones.

S8 emulating using dolphin. But I remember hearing the S8 isn't very good had overheating problems or whatnot. Still those expensive devices are the best for portable emulation right now.

I picked up a couple of PS2 games that run perfectly in PCSX2 but not on the console I have. It seems like the issue would be the laser, but it reads every other game I have, including a few scratched ones, just fine. Also, the console is relatively new. The console makes a whirring noise and the screen stays black, but one of the games will load about a third of the time after waiting a couple of minutes. Is the culprit still the laser or should I get different discs?

Hello emumans.
I wanted to ask if you've ever had this problem with either ePSXe or PCSX(r): when I'm playing SRPGs (like Final Fantasy Tactics or Super Robot Wars), it seems the emulator repeats my inputs randomly, sometimes the input itself freezes. Like, when I'm navigating a menu and press DOWN, the emulator will keep pushing DOWN for a good 2 seconds, and then stop.
I think it's a problem with emulator timing, because this only happens with SRPGs.
Some games:
- Final Fantasy Tactics
- Tactics Ogre
- Super Robot Wars FF
- Super Tokusatsu Taisen

I thought it was a problem with menu-driven games, but after testing some 50 games, it only happens with SRPGs, no matter how obscure they are.

>>179945960
It might be your analog shoulder buttons being oversensitive. Often a sub-function of theirs is to skip down menus. I thought this same thing was happening to me until I looked closer at what was actually going on.

I've seen these, but they patch the memory, you can "turn them off". You can't do this on PCSX2 as the emulator was built upon hacks and would not run shit without them.

You're talking about the stuff on the GUI that says "hack" or whatever, but the entire code is plagued with hacks you'll never know about and you can't "remove" them as the emulator would not work.

>>179968792
Can't keep smaller factor integer scaling on fullscreen on mGBA? well, you can on RetroArch. If you absolutely must play that way on standalone, you may have to setup a launcher that draws a black background solution (there's plenty of options, I do it on AutoHotkey) and centers the window while removing the borders (BorderlessGaming)

I only do this for Demul, which has zero options for fullscreen besides stretching...

>>180001947
fair enough lol. Tbh senpai, I'm not one to generally care about a person's credibility, but you should generally take that guy's words with a grain of salt. However, he's right about aiming too low, causing problems.

I'm no audio expert, but I think it might depend on your OS and what audio API. Like if you used DS8 on Windows XP, I'm sure the latency would be lower with a sound card, since it allows hardware mixing.

RA has WASAPI implemented, afaik, so I don't see why it can't take advantage of a sound card. Even if it currently can't, I'm sure a contributor could improve that.

any places I can download full romsets for nes, snes, maybe neo geo and n64?

>>180005220
who care how they 'look' as long as you know how to get to the files you need.

If you're willing to go to the freetard side, all Intel GPUs past Ivy Bridge (HD4000) support Vulkan.

>>180005220
it helps if they're at right angles to eachother. for visibility. there might be an option in the computer for that.

This might help with research, thanks for the input.

>>180011716

He chose to better invest the money into hash, PS4 and Bloodborne.

3ds and Wii u reliable emulation when

And I don't mean the 10 games citra has

I don't see the US version of sun or moon in wiiu usb helper. Where can I find the titlekey to add?

>>180013472
10 games? Are you kidding? https://citra-emu.org/game/
Out of the stuff on this list, I already finished 5 other games. I agree that the compatibility in not very high now, but don't lie

>>180013008
not him but how can you apply a ROMhack without having a 3DS?

I wanted to try out Umbra Sun/Nova Sun, I went into the website, there was some program, I applied my already decompressed Poke Sun ROM but I couldn't manage to make it work

You said it wouldn't happen
You said it couldn't be done
You said it was the "next PPSSPP"

Looks like all of you bitches just got proven wrong

what the fuck. It is the worst fucking patching format in existence.

>>179842329
my condolences for people that want to play 24, but why would you play the PS2 version of cowabunga 3 or nfsmw?

>>180016230
Why do you think IPS is bad and what is a better solution?

>>180016594
I'm not even going to list off all the awful things that are wrong with it. But a big thing is its 16mb limit.

Fair enough. It just seems like less to me because I want to play very few of those.

I want MonHun more than anything

I have my own translation for Sin and Punishment but I wanna use Vanit's texture pack. Is there a seperate archive for his textures and translation? Or some way that I can separate them?

>>180017002

Sin and Punishment achieves translation via texture replacement. It's one and the same. To change the translation, you need to change the textures.

Oh it's an open source shitter. Figures,

Oh man, I'd hate to have to mod my ps2 just to get a bios out. It would be cool if a bios file randomly appear out of no where. Like in this thread.

>>180020568
You know that you can find the file with ONE search on Google, right? Also, fuck you

Oh man, I'd hate to tell people to read the OP. It would be cool if a wiki randomly appear in the OP out of no where. Like of this thread.

>>180020568
PCSX2 has blocked the known pirated bios because they don't support piracy.You now have to mod your ps2 to get bios.

>>180021514
PCSX2 don't support PS2 emulation too
