Yeah but WHICH? It can be the difference between a gaming GPU and shit.
You are better off custom making a PC, this seems too much like a coin toss, especially given how wildly emulated games SPECS can differ, especially from PCSX2 and Dolphin, like say, right now I can play most high end games fine, but I had to underclock the PS2 to play Ape Escape 3. And it still has frequent dips.

I'm trying to emulate Saga Frontier 2 and it's going fine apart from the weird artifacting you can see on the fifth guy in the line. I'm not used to the customisation of Mednafen, so I was wondering if there are any options that could get rid of this?

Also I'm just testing the Widescreen hack, the artifacts were there in original aspect ratio too.

>>183499893
I had no artifacts in ePSXe. Try that one.

Yes. And Nebula Model 2's frontend is garbage, so it could have benefited from source being available.

There's also still some rendering bugs in Nebula M2 which never got fixed. It's still slightly less broken than Viva Nonno is now but in time it will get there because it's unmaintained and abandoned. Shitty closed-source devs at it again.

>>183514752
>So BE has 3D, cheats, tick changed, cia loader, fernando's improvements?
No one uses 3D and is broken for a lot's of games, you can use cheats using Cheat Engine (it's even more useful now than the original code, as it's incomplete, but will be finished by the creator soon), you don't know what a tick is, cia loader is meaningless as you can convert ROMs and most people use .3DS anyway, the only meaningful code from Fernando that could improve the performance doesn't work.
>Which improves speed.
If you compile it yourself, can be even faster, but hey, keep on trusting code that you don't understand from people that don't know how to code, really wise
>There's more than 1

SP must die for his crime. RA must be forked and given to the people. No longer will we suffer the abuse at the hands of the monster that is SP.
I ask brothers that we march and take his head for we are the only ones that can kill him.
For it is written that if one gets a ps4 and a tv from funds knowingly stolen from the hands of a hard working /emugen/ donator he must be punished. And punished he will be for our lord commands his head.

Damn, RPCS3 is making good progress. I'm able to get 10-15 FPS in town and 20-28 in dungeons. Battles are almost full speed. This is on an old ass OC 2500k. If they keep this pace up, it could be full speed on the modern higher end CPUs by the end of the year.

>>183519407
He must pay for his crimes against us first.

Gliden64 is a badly programmed piece of shit. Go beyond 1080p and see unacceptable frame drops and performance happen.

When a game runs at 133fps at 1440p whereas Dolphin and/or a Dreamcast emu has nearly four times the performance, you know you are dealing with an unoptimized piece of shit codebase.

But then that's understandable since Gonetz didn't even make this, the GLN64 author did and he just added a bunch of hacks to it.

So much for this 'savior' of emulation, a poorly performing piece of crap that manages to have glitches Glide64 has, while it fixes some issues that Glide64 has. A mixed bag.

>>183468297

That's on top of the $2000 Indiegogo he already got. Whatever happened to 'best performing, most accurate' N64 renderer? This thing runs like dogshit, sure it renders some games better than Glide64, but there are also many others where it has glitches where Glide64 doesn't, and overall, it's a mixed bag.

Should have written a new renderer completely from scratch instead of basing it on an old and obsolete GL codebase like GLN64. This is like duct-taping an old Mini Cooper and pretending it runs like a Ferrari.

>>183520730

>Should have written a new renderer completely from scratch instead of basing it on an old and obsolete GL codebase like GLN64.
The problem is that this scene has a hive-mind mentality and think writing from scratch is never the right way to go. There's also the fact that a lot of devs in general (not just emudevs), like to write as little code as possible.

>>183520741
>fuck outta here with this amateur GL bullshit.
The irony is that they are blaming the performance on either drivers or "muh accuracy" LOL. They don't realise that glN64 was slower and less accurate than Glide64. top kek.

At this point, these shills will justify anything Gonetz does because he's the alleged savior of N64 emulation and they have no clue about anything anyway..

>>183521026

When they run a campaign based on claims to the tune of 'most accurate, fastest N64 renderer ever!', and then this shit runs 4 times worse than a Gamecube emulator, nobody is allowed to say shit, and we should let a couple of Gonetz cheerleaders continue this 'meme' this is some great achievement for mankind? Nah, it's a shitty hodgepodge of GLN64 where they have overburdened it with hacks to the point where it now runs far worse than any other GL renderer to it.

I'm sorry but these bottlenecks tell the full story. If your fucking shit can't run at 8K over 25fps on a Titan XP, your programming is shit, and you need to go back to the drawing board, end of story. You can dress that up however you want, but all i see are pathetic excuses.

This is the single worst renderer so far with the single worst framerate so far. Nothing, not even Parallel RDP, not Dolphin, not Reicast, not Beetle PSX, nothing had as low framerates as this so far.

nintendo and sony are gunna crack down on the seen when switch emulators get made to play ps4 stuff. you think its so great to piracy but how do they make money then? You are all bad and all that illegal information will make the software illegal and after you go to jail we'll see how much fun you have when all you can play is hide the salamis with your precious tranny devs.

See how that shit stacks up compared to any other emulator, emulating GPUs that are like 5 to 10x as advanced as the N64's.

Haha, very good imitation
I give you 8/10 because it lacks some conspiracy theories

>>183522559

Sorry, but it is true, Gliden64 sucks ass and is the single worst performing emulator renderer out there right now.

It's 25fps at 8K. That is beyond pathetic. That makes it up to 7x as slow as Dolphin, and up to 12x as slow as Reicast.

You go ahead and rationalize that shit, go on, I'll wait. We are not talking Parallel RDP-like compute emulation here, we are talking a bogstandard HLE renderer. The whole point of HLE is to make shit run fast, not SLOW.

>>183522518

>The whole point of HLE is to make shit run fast, not SLOW.
It's refreshing to know I'm not the only one who thinks this. The HLE renderer still has bugs derived from improper implementation of HLE, yet the performance is still slower than z64gl in some cases.

>It's 25fps at 8K.
To be fair, I wonder if the performance issue has to do with VRAM -> copying. By default, it uses Async for copying the framebuffer. Emulators like dolphin use framebuffer notification instead, if I understand correctly. I'm not really excusing the piss poor performance, but I wonder what the performance is like on Titan XP at 8k, when you turn off async and put it on none.

>>183522084
>This is shitty GL programming, plain and simple.
I agree. Sometimes I find it embarrassing when comparing other emulators to N64 emulators. I'm not one of those Dolphin worshipers either, cause they have their own fair share of flaws.

Anyway, I think SP should team up with those who are unsatisfied with GLideN64 and make N64 emulation great again. Do you think SP would be interested in working on a new hardware renderer? I'm not kidding, I think there's a good chance of something good happening if SP, mudlord, and other unsatisfied devs team up and work on a new renderer.

It seems MSAA makes it dogslow. Whether it's set at 2x or 4x, it turns it into 25fps. If you set it to off, you get 100fps. Still pathetically low compared to any other renderer out there, Reicast easily pushes 280/300fps at that resolution while Dolphin does 193fps, but not as earth-shatteringly bad as before.

Anyway, what's the point of that MSAA setting if setting it even at 2x brings a Titan XP to its knees? Still pisspoor programming. You can bump MSAA in Dolphin all the way up and not get these crippling speeds.

z64gl is fast because it uses optimizations that are fundamentally incompatible with accurate N64 depth emulation. GLideN64 is of course much faster, anyway.

What are your top 3 PS2 games, /emugen/?

>>183531889

If you run it at 1x or 2x, not really.

If you want higher resolutions though you will need the GL renderer, which isn't in libretro yet. But it's on the to-do list.

>>183539000
>If you run it at 1x or 2x, not really.
not really as in "it runs well" or "it doesn't run well"? i'd be totally fine with it running at native res, i just want to be able to run it at all

>>183520017
>>183520374
Assuming you're using an Nvidia GPU, did you remember to set the profile for the emulator to "Prefer Maximum Performance?

If I had to guess, GLideN64 likely has an issue with whatever buffer resizing algorithm the plugin uses, which is causing a bottleneck when rendering at extremely high resolutions. Or else there's a shader being used that doesn't play nice at very high resolutions. Since you're not really supposed to exceed 2-3x native rendering resolution in N64 games, this is something that would likely go unnoticed.

>>183538435
>GLideN64 is of course much faster, anyway.
but it isn't. In fact the only reason GLideN64 even comes close now is because of the refactoring that increased the amount of optimisations. "muh Accuracy" is not a valid excuse when it's been proven that optimisations increase performance significantly.

bruh wut version of PJ64 are you using? Looks like you're using an outdated setup. TThe version of PJ64 dictates which plugins to use, to some extent. For instance the newer version of PJ64 needs the newer version of N-Rage (if u want to use N-rage). Rsp Plugin 1.7.0.9 is outdated, but that one is better than the other ones in your list.

Is that via Wine btw? Is that why you're using an old setup?

yes. I have 2.1 and 1.6 from the wiki. The latest version doesn't display any configuration dialog boxes.

ok well if you are using HLE, might as well stick with RSP Plugin 1.7.0.9. Later versions are better, but it might not be convenient for you to obtain the right version.

Also if you're running on decent hardware, Glide64 is better than Jabo's.

Tell Gonetz about the issue, then. It's not like it's a major issue, and it's likely just an oversight.

>>183548941

It's set to performance mode in nvidia control panel, and CPU boost is on, so the CPU runs at 4.80GHz instead of the default 4.20. Power profile in Windows is set to performance.

Don't see any possibility for it to downthrottle.

>>183548941
>It's not like it's a major issue, and it's likely just an oversight.

It's not a major issue that an N64 emulator's HLE renderer is literally 12x as slow as a Dreamcast emulator, and about 8 to 6x as slow as Dolphin (Gamecube)? Good to know. You cannot fall back on 'but the RDP is so expensive to emulate!' since HLE is mostly hackfest territory where you map RSP display lists to some GL function call routines to make it just render certain graphics. The whole point of HLE is supposed to be to be doing it fast rather than accurate.

>>183550559

Sort of. You can achieve 100% accuracy in HLE. The speed boost is just a bonus.

But seriously, are you actually having problems with GLideN64 at normal resolutions, or are you cranking the internal resolution slider to maximum despite this fucking everything?

>>183550895

Likely this. It doesn't just kill performance. It also causes severe graphics issues.

>>183551185

Dude, if a Titan XP can't render your hackjob bullshit renderer at 8K at more than 100fps, and it renders it at 25fps with MSAA 2x, then this renderer is a total piece of shit.

Put this into perspective - games like Witcher 4 are being rendered at 4K on systems like this. Your puny pathetic N64 graphics workload for the GPU is less graphically expensive than Quake-fucking-1, holy shit. Try to gain some perspective here, and stop shooting the messenger here when Dolphin beats gliden64 in the performance stakes by 6/8x at the same resolution. It's beyond pathetic.

The issue is entirely with how the plugin handles resolution scaling beyond a certain factor. Like someone said earlier, why not post the issue on Github? Unless people report issues, nothing will be done about them.
>Your puny pathetic N64 graphics workload for the GPU is less graphically expensive than Quake-fucking-1, holy shit.
It's actually very expensive to accurately handle N64 depth behavior because modern GPUs have no equivalent functions natively. It has to be done in shaders, which is going to completely fuck the N64 Mini if it turns out to be an actual thing.
>Try to gain some perspective here, and stop shooting the messenger here when Dolphin beats gliden64 in the performance stakes by 6/8x at the same resolution.
You're the one getting caught up on the fact GLideN64 falls apart on high resolutions that nobody has bothered to test. Not sure why this is so hard for you to understand.

>>183551946
>>Just look at Killer Instinct.
That's an LLE issue, though? Flawed low level triangle rendering. GE/KI send the commands for sky/water rendering directly to the RDP, which is a problem for HLE display list intercepts.

>>183552870
>https://github.com/gonetz/GLideN64/issues/1531

Maybe I have to do some performance tests myself, now I'm intrigued. Are they using MSAA?

>>183552870
The plugin runs games at 10x full speed on a Maxwell GPU. I'm inclined to blame Nvidia's recent driver fuckery.

>>183554223
idk because they keep wasting his time with these nonsense suggestions like lowering the timer resolution, which btw decreases CPU performance...

That's a good quesiton though. They should also ask his other settings for stuff like frame-buffer copying, depth buffer, etc.

>>183554536
tell me why the guy runs other plugins just fine then?

>>183554621
>tell me why the guy runs other plugins just fine then?
Because none of the other plugins use advanced GL features. Also, I notice he appears to be using an older version.

>>183554746
>Because none of the other plugins use advanced GL features.
Sounds like coding in modern OpenGL was a mistake then... For it to require so much more resources than older versions is absurd.

Anyway, doesn't GLideN64 just require OpenGL 3.3? I don't see how that's advanced.

>>183554995
>For it to require so much more resources than older versions is absurd.
Accurately emulating the N64 requires a massive jump in requirements over old plugins. For example, accurate N64 combiner emulation using shaders is much more expensive than the old hacky fixed function methods.
>Anyway, doesn't GLideN64 just require OpenGL 3.3? I don't see how that's advanced.
It's a lot more advanced than its contemporaries. A huge reason why Glide64 couldn't do mipmapping properly was API support, for example. It uses GL4 for a specific depth emulation feature that is optional.

>>183554024
>It's actually very expensive to accurately handle N64 depth behavior because modern GPUs have no equivalent functions natively
Well it's not like GLideN64 is currently accurately handling depth buffer emulation. It's currently using hacky HLE software depth buffer code.

>That's an LLE issue, though? Flawed low level triangle rendering.
It's not the only issue. Right now, GLideN64 doesn't even handle the projectiles properly.

>>183555821
>Well it's not like GLideN64 is currently accurately handling depth buffer emulation. It's currently using hacky HLE software depth buffer code.
The depth buffer isn't the issue currently. Depth compare calculations are. Emulating something like Perfect Dark's bullet holes/blood splatters is quite expensive because our GPUs can't do those depth compare functions natively.

>>183555719
>For example, accurate N64 combiner emulation using shaders is much more expensive than the old hacky fixed function methods.
I didn't see much of a difference in performance after he added that. Pretty much up until the graphics refactor, GLideN64's performance was always somewhere near glN64's performance in the games I tested. Which leads me to believe that part of the inferior performance is due to being based on glN64. Even Gonetz admitted this in the past, stating that Glide64 is significantly faster than glN64.

If you check the performance of older versions of GLideN64, you will see that it's not very fast, despite the fact that it has indeed improved a lot in accuracy since then.

Even z64gl uses shaders for the combiner, if I remember correctly.

I do admit I should have considered that the problem might specifically be the use of modern OGL. Unfortunately there's no other N64 plugins to compare to in that case. But I'm not quite sold on that argument yet. It's just a consideration for now.

>>183528223
>>It seems MSAA makes it dogslow.

well thats to be expected as in each shader for each texture read you have to sample times the number of samples to fetch. So if you have to sample a texture at 4x MSAA, thats 4x the work per pixel.

Dolphin gets around this by blitting the render targets to a intermediate non msaa''ed FBO, which means it only has to sample once.

>>183558469
Man that's really sad how memednafen's performance with the HW renderer is better than Mupen64Minus + GLideN64.

I just noticed though... Why is SP getting better performance with OGL for the Ps1 hardware renderer? Is tiny Tiger's code not optimised well enough? I can't imagine Vulkan losing to OGL...

Btw I'd like to see how ParaLLEl RDP runs on 2d heavy games like Bangaioh and Yoshi's Story. I noticed that the performance on a gtx 960m was worse than a software renderer for some reason in Bangaio. Is the 960m simply gimped for ParaLLEl RDP? Or does it lack optimisations for 2d stuff? I'd like to find out :) .

>>183558469
>>That being said, there are certain advantages to Gliden64 vs. Glide64, it emulates certain FBO effects which GLide64 doesn’t.
I think this is a teeeny bit of an understatement. Glide64's FBO emulation is completely fucked. Plus it can't do mipmapping, noise emulation, proper blending, proper depth checks, and a bunch of other stuff that slips my mind. Oh, and there's a rampant texture corruption issue that's been around for years. (Joanna's clothing turns into garbage in the Carrington Institute.)
>>183559658
>Man that's really sad how memednafen's performance with the HW renderer is better than Mupen64Minus + GLideN64.
The PS1 is a much simpler piece of hardware. It's not exactly shocking that accurate N64 emulation is a magnitude more expensive.

>>183559658

Yeah, it was surprising to see the Vulkan renderer lose out to the GL one. That being said, the Vulkan renderer also has a more complete implementation of the PSX GPU. It correctly impelements the mask bit enable feature for one, so it can render fog in Silent Hill, and the codec screen in Metal Gear Solid looks properly unlike on GL. So that might explain the speed divide. Who knows though, perhaps TInyTiger's code could still use some performance improvements. Simias didn't do all that badly with the GL renderer apparently, and r5 did a very bang-up job porting it together with him.

>>183559760

> It's not exactly shocking that accurate N64 emulation is a magnitude more expensive.

That being said, even Dolphin scales much better at these higher resolutions.

Can anyone who understands GLideN64 explain why performance is crashing through the floor at high resolutions? What is the bottleneck? For all we know it's a simple fix.

So I just downloaded Project64 and read this on the wiki.

>Up to version 2.2, the official installer for PJ64 included opt-out malware in the installer. In July of 2016, the malware was removed from both the source code and installers.[1] However, version 2.3 introduced a benign but irritating nagware screen that pops up when launching PJ64, which grows more persistent with successive launches. This can be disabled by modifying project64.cfg to appear as follows:

>[Support Project64]
>Run Count=-1

The issue is that it doesn't seem to actually stop the popup nag. Am I missing something here? Do I need to do something more than just opening it up in Notepad and pasting it in/saving it?

>>183562310
Did you make sure to close PJ64 before you added that line to the cfg file?

>>183562547
I think I did, but honestly I can't say for sure since I was more concerned with trying to find a Paper Mario ROM while doing that. I take it that not closing it out causes it to ignore that bit of text or something?

>>183563278
Fixed it. I didn't save the change because I'm apparently a retard.

>>183560215
>What is the bottleneck?
it's poorly optimized.

Someone should try glN64 and see if that plugin has the same issue. It was a big mistake to use that plugin as a base.

>>183559857
What OpenGL version does the GL renderer use?

Tbh senpai, seeing those screenshots of the dreamcast games in ultra high res makes me feel like I'm wasting my time with N64.. Why bother especially when there's not even a good hi-res hardware renderer... Seems like even Reicast is good.

Also I might know someone who's interested in working on ParaLLEl RDP. How hard would it be to port to zilmar-spec so that it would work on those emulators like Mupen64 0.5, Project64, and 1964? Any idea how long it would take to port it over?

>>183563929
>it's poorly optimized.
That's not answering the question. Why is GLideN64 fine with resolution increases to a certain point, but then it suddenly falls off a cliff? If you can't constructively answer that, shut up.
>Someone should try glN64 and see if that plugin has the same issue. It was a big mistake to use that plugin as a base.
Oh, stop jerking off about how much you don't like gln64. It's difficult to test gln64 because it doesn't support arbitrary internal resolutions. They're extremely different plugins at this point.

>>183557565
MSAA only causes problems at extremely high resolutions. Mario 64 gets 120VIs for me at 16x native, but it crashes to single digits if I enable MSAA at that resolution.

MSAA was a mistake, BTW.

why the fuck do people give a shit about gliden64? angrylion and parallel are the only worthwhile n64 plugins

>>183564859
>If you can't constructively answer that, shut up.
Oh the irony :) . Even the framebuffer copying is sub optimal. Using 32bit format even when most games are 16 bit Smh Tbh senpai...

>Oh, stop jerking off about how much you don't like gln64.
It's a terrible plugin and should be a well known fact. People need to face the facts instead of deflecting and blaming irrelevant things like timer resolution LOL.

>It's difficult to test gln64 because it doesn't support arbitrary internal resolutions.
it's open source.

>They're extremely different plugins at this point.
yet there are still issues inherited from it, like the full screen exit issue on an Intel Pentium N IGP.

>>183565278
>angrylion and parallel are the only worthwhile n64 plugins
One is atrociously slow and limited to native resolutions and unable to be enhanced in any meaningful way. The other is dead in the water because the dev is a drama queen who jumped ship.

Meanwhile GLideN64 is busy reverse engineering Rogue Squadron to run flawlessly in HLE mode, thank you very much.

>>183565374
>yet there are still issues inherited from it, like the full screen exit issue on an Intel Pentium N IGP.
Wait, wait, wait. That is ENTIRELY Intel's fault. Intel's Windows drivers are absolute dogshit.

>Even the framebuffer copying is sub optimal. Using 32bit format even when most games are 16 bit Smh Tbh senpai...
using a 16 bit framebuffer is the dumbest idea I've heard in years. Do you enjoy colour banding? Because that's how you get colour banding.

You are not wrong. What the fuck is wrong with companys today. AMD with it's shit OGL support intel with shit drivers that crash windows so much that microsoft recommend you don't install them.
Why in the fuck can't we have something that runs right?

>>183565657
Running N64 games at 8K is not advisable. Running them at 2-4x native resolution produces extremely good results, however. 2D games are best run at native resolution, though.

Oh, look, the guy with the GTX 1060 downloaded the latest version instead of GLideN64 2.0 from seven months ago, and all his problems disappeared.

>being this clueless
I don't know why I even bother talking to non-coders about code.. Like I said, most games use 16 bit color.. Not hard to figure out a way to take advantage of it. But of course those devs are too happy with current status quo to ever bother further improving the optimisations, hence why they never even bothered to test ultra high resolution.

>Intel's Windows drivers are absolute dogshit.
so is glN64 :) . Bad drivers can sometimes reveal bad coding in programs.. It's not a smart move to automatically default to blaming drivers without even investigating the issue. I love how people blamed PJ64 for the BSOD, yet when it comes to graphics, they pull a 180 and never blame the plugin..

I don't quite understand Gliden64 but PCSX2 has a similar issue in a few games and it's almost exclusively VRAM bandwidth related according to Gregory and even if the two consoles and emulator are barely comparable it would seem logical that VRAM bandwidth could cause some shit at extremely high res.

>>183566592
>>Don't you feel silly for not blaming the plugin??
I failed to notice he was running an old version of the plugin.
>>The refactoring was a game-changer, although it's still not up to par for my standards.
It was a game changer, indeed. There were two refactors. One massively improved FB emulation. The other made the plugin easier to write new backends for.
>Like I said, most games use 16 bit color.
Which was a bad thing. A handful supported 24 bit colour. In my opinion, using 32 bit colour for everything is a quality improvement with marginal performance hit. A number of Gamecube games use 16 bit colour, and they benefit from being emulated with higher precision.

>>183566823

From what I hear, LLVM is kicking everyone's ass these days....

>>183565403

Nigga, they can't even emulate a lens flare in Turok 1, LOL.

>>183567295
>In my opinion, using 32 bit colour for everything is a quality improvement with marginal performance hit.
That's fair, you don't have to strictly use 16-bit color. One way to easily receive some benefit for any 16bit color game (when using either sync mode or Async) is to convert the frame buffer to 16bit on GPU before copying to RAM. It cuts the size in half, which is an obvious game changer for VRAM -> RDRAM performance. Only downside is that this obviously only works for 16-bit color games, but since that's most of them, I wouldn't worry about it. I wonder if Dolphin even utilizes this technique, assuming it's even applicable to their systems..

>>183567661
I thought they fixed Turok?? DUnno cause I don't use that plugin..

>>183567661
>Nigga, they can't even emulate a lens flare in Turok 1, LOL.
That's not a microcode issue as far as I'm aware. They have reverse engineered the custom ucode used by Acclaim titles, so now dynamic lighting works in Turok 2, 3, Armorines, and South Park. That's a lot more significant than a minor rendering error involving lens flares in a single Turok game.

PCSX2 is quite byzantean emulator in this sense that it has lot of menus and it's not obvious how to set it up when you first start to use it.

Couple of pointers:

a) You need ps2 firmware. Go to your favorite torrent tracker, https://uj3wazyk5u4hnvtk.online/torrent/4170684/PS2_Bios_Files for example..

b) You'll need to set up your graphics and controls. I use Win10 with DS4 controller along with SCP toolkit which enables me to just plug the controller and use it. Just use defaults for graphics and emulation settings for now. I think keyboard is enabled by default so the controls are pretty straightforward - enter for start, shift for select, zxcv for buttons unless I have mistaken.

c) To load your iso file go to CDVD / browse and select your iso file. Then run the game via system/boot iso (fast).

Are you getting "Speed :100%" because if you're at 100% then the problem is the game, it runs like trash even in console.
I've finished it recently in my machine i5 4690K/GTX970

>>183583881
it wildly fluctuates between 50 and 110%

>>183583962
Try a build from one month ago also you are using OpenGL hardware, right?
Post your settings.

Is that the emulator's fault or the ROM's? What emulator should i use? Im going to try PCXR-PGXP for now

>>183584451
Did it and it's running about the same. Is there nothing i should change in core settings? Theres frame limiters and speedhacks and stuff.

>>183584757
im also getting grey boxes behind text and the map

>>183584803
I mean performance you are getting is probably because of the emulation settings itself not because of graphics settings... You should leave the emulation settings to defaults i.e. using recomplier on every setting unless it is explicitly stated it's needed by the game in question. What is your cpu and gpu usage while running the game?

>>183585018
60% cpu and probably almost nothing gpu.

>>183584757
>Is that the emulator's fault or the ROM's?

Emulator. PSX has been abandoned for ages, and is filled with bugs, that being the most major.

Mednafen, or PCSX-PGXP are what you should use.

How do you get the analog sticks to work with the Mednafen/Beetle HW core in RetroArch? The only thing I tried that worked was the Analog to Digital Type option in the Input menu, but it's not as good

>>183583615
>like custom hacked version uplaoded to Discord or something to play P5?
Use the build from the last P5 annoucement blogpost, it has LLEgcm which fixes most crashes and teh spurs scheduler which helps performance by a bunch but lacks a few optimization done after that point, especially the anime cut scene fixes, or you can go shitpost on the discord and see if there's a better build out yet..

>>183585961
I thought they would include these fixes to later official versions of RPCS3. Otherwise the development is a catastrophic mess...

What happened to the guy that was porting PPSSPP to Libretro? Did he die or something?

>>183586470
llegcm is under review and the scheduler is under heavy development and not public yet outside of the one build.
It'll end up in mainline sooner or later they just made the hacked build so people can enjoy stuff instead of being like the citra niggers.

>>183586664
I see, thanks. Citra niggers are worst, they are trying to emulate a dying machine which was technically inferior and a mistake even when it was first conceived. Thinking about that makes me very depressed.

>>183586765
>Citra niggers
Do they glow in the dark?

Timesplitters 3, Gran Turismo 4, GTA San Andreas (has open world coop too)

This question might be outside of the emu scope but, having the Dolphin bar, what else works outside the Wii titles?

I want to emulate Resi Evil 2 on my toaster. Is the Gamecube version via Dolphin a good option, or would I have a better time running the PSX version?

>>183589641
Why don't you try which is best? Are you stupid? Why people are so passive all the time?

>>183589641

Not everything has to be emulated m8, especially on a toaster.

I can't seem to get SOTN to run on Mednafen.

I got the cue and bin files, but whenever I try to run it by dropping on mednafen.exe nothing happens.

The stdout says

Failed: Error opening file "C:\Users\me\Downloads\mednafen-0.9.45.1-win64\psx.cfg": No such file or directory"

The same for Castlevania.Symphony.Of.The.Night.NTSC.US.psx.cfg, it says there is no file or directory.

Anyone got the same problem and found a solution?

>>183591909
THE FIRST ONE. THE INTERNET ARCHIVE

>>183591975
BIOS?

Also open the cue in a text editor and make sure it does not have retarded full paths.

>>183592207

The BIOS I got from that RetroArch pack are inside a folder called firmware in the mednafen folder.

The cue file only mentions BIN as "Castlevania.Symphony.Of.The.Night.NTSC.US"

>>183592338
no .bin on the end?

Also judging by that file name the rip could just be broken.

>>183592420

...For some reason, all I had to do was restart my computer.

Wew, thanks for the help, mate.

Ok so I have downloaded CEMU and CEMU hook. Is there anything else I need to play BotW?

And could I get the game file from anywhere?

I'm getting a runtime error on mednafen cores in Retroarch.
I'm trying to play Sotn and the bin+cue works with other emulators and everything I google points at Bios problems, but they're all there and I've tried swapping with others so I don't know what the fuck it could be.

How's Citra these days? Last time I ever looked it was a mess, would it be feasible to play something like SMT IV or MK7 on a 2500k?

>>183598593
>SMT IV
Think that's playable, not sure about on a 2500k though.
>MK7
Nope.

>>183599006
Is there something with MK7 specifically that's hard to emulate or is it just a case of the emulator itself not making great progress?

>>183584542
Why? melonDS is shaping up to be literally perfect. And then we have memedusa, and ndsemu, and gbe+.

>>183578924
Do you have the JIT turned on? What about OpenGL rendering? If yes to both, there's no helping you. Your PC is too weak to emulate the DS.

Is there any website that has a DL for Sin & Punishment? Preferably the VC version (if it's possible to play that on a N64 emulator). I can't fucking find this game anywhere.

>>183608003
ok so the core itself isn't working then. does your video driver match the psx renderer set in the core options? are you using vulkan or gl? have you tried both?

and you're absolutely sure that the bios checksum matches, its filename is right, and it's been placed in whatever folder is set in settings->directory->system ?

I'm running Wind Waker HD at a a near constant 30, at worst 27.

How well will BotW run considering? I hear some people have been having trouble running even Wind Waker so I'm hoping this is a decent sign.

Is 1.8.2 actually of any benefit to anything?

Do the Mednafen cores for Retroarch hang at the PS1 logo for anyone else? They stay up too long and the music loops for a while once they've faded to black.

>>183599453
If you can't answer that yourself, even if I answer you wouldn't understand. Also, you're in the wrong thread

The rom is hard to find because Nintendo went on a purging spree a few months ago and purged all major rom sites of Nintendo games. The only one left unscathed is the Rom Depot but it has a very small collection.

Luckily however this rom is on the Rom Depot, thank god, downloading it now.

>I see you're selling Raspberry Pi emulator boxes on Twitter, probably running RetroArch in one form or another since that is what 99% of those boxes revolve around.

>Given all this, I don't see why you cannot just port this yourself to a libretro core. You said you developed this emulator yourself, so a libretro port should be trivial for you. I have plenty of other stuff to do here and the only way we are getting paid now is our patreon, and that patreon tells us to work on new cores like PPSSPP and Supermodel. So that takes priority over anything else.

>Honestly, it would be nice having another Neo Geo Pocket Color core here, but what I don't like about this is that you are essentially asking us to do a core here so that you have something else to sell again for your product, while we make essentially nothing. Sorry, but this does just not sit well with me at all, and it comes off as parasitic. And even though the license essentially doesn't throw any major roadblocks your way to be able to do this, that doesn't mean it doesn't still rub me the wrong way, and that you're essentially asking us to do work here for free from which you can then profit off. That especially doesn't sit well with me at all.

> I'd encourage you therefore to make this libretro core yourself, it shouldn't be hard at all.

Ok, so recently I upgraded to a totally new system, went from Windows 7 to Windows 10. The last time I tried using a Sega Saturn emulator I was using Virtual Clone Drive and my computer ended up crashing a bunch of times. This has something to do with system 32 having trouble compressing virtual drive data, a very simplified explanation but im not quite tech savy enough to explain it. I tried to fix the issue but the more I tried the more things fucked up and I ended up formatting my hard drive and restarting my system. It was that bad.

When I reinstalled windows, right out of the gate I inputted a command line code which disables the system 32 compression system altogether. Im hoping that this will be enough to prevent that same issue from happening but I am still kind of paranoid. I have yet to install Virtual Clone Drive.

Has anyone else here experienced this? I can't be the only one, this has to be a common issue many Win 10 users have faced. Can anyone give me any tips for avoiding that happening again?

>>183609335
Does BotW even run any better at all on 1.8.2?
Or is it worse?

My Tropical Freeze FPS dropped a fuckload upgrading from the .7s to the .8s so I wouldnt be surprised

What do you do? Rewrite the text, find sprite replacement for certain images and filter the rest?

Today a "small improvements" PR by @Nekotekina actually made a very popular game completely playable. Demon's Souls now no longer hangs on loading screens, and no longer crashes otherwise. The video below shows gameplay from every level in the game, and proves that it runs stable. The system requirements are high, even an i7-6700k struggles at times, but of course RPCS3 can only get faster and faster from here. For example, @kd-11 has opened this PR with performance improvements (https://github.com/RPCS3/rpcs3/pull/3075). However given a fast enough CPU Demon's Souls is now playable.

pcsx2 is fine stop memeing.

>>183622567
It's simple, but take a long time to do:
1. Dump ALL the textures (you're only able to do this by playing the entire game, loading every possible screen, including menus)
2. Scale them all to x2 or x4 (you can go texture by texture using an image editor or use some app to scale all files in a folder).
3. Filter the ones that have lower details, do some manual edition when the results are not good.
4. Go scene by scene in-game with the new textures trying to catch something wrong/out of place.
5. Optional: create a disk cache for the textures to share in a single file.

Does the mednafen for Saturn allow higher resolutions now?

Hopefully the steep learning curve for mednafen is worth enduring.

>>183624790
Doesnt daemon's tool also work as a disc mounter? So is the problem Virtual Clone Drive?

>>183624769
PCSX2 can't play 20% of the PS2 library perfectly, and even if marked on the wiki as "perfect", you don't need to hunt morte than 1 minute to see some problems. PS2 emulation is bad and anyone pretending that PCSX2 is a good emulator is hurting the scene, we need higher standards, this is why so many NDS emulators are showing up now

>>183625130
Yes, it works as a CD image mounter, ramdisk and CD/DVD burner and bunch of other shit you probably have no use for, but the image mounter is perfect.

>>183624720
I already played those games on original hardware, why would I need to suffer through super low resolution again? Especially when I don't have a good CRT anymore and that's only going to look WORSE than in my memories?
