Like to play games while watching lets plays or listening to podcasts simultaneously , but getting shitty audio from RetroArch/Beetle PSX HW when a video is playing. Completely fine when the video stops though. Any audio settings i can change to fix that?

>>187656728
Try fiddling with the priority in the task manager.

>>187656728
Also if you're playing actual playlists and not just going with the autoplay flow consider just using mpv instead of actually using the site.

>>187657021
not sure what youre talking about here, im just playing stuff on youtube from chrome

>>187635259
epsxe works perfectly for what it matters, so you're obviously and objectively wrong.

>>187656825

>>187657320
MPV is an external media player but it has the neat feature of handling Youtube videos and playlist really well, with the added bonus of not murdering the resources like playing from a regular browser.
If you're playing playlists or don't mind manually loading videos one by one you should be using that instead.

OK, silly question, but is it possible to use a DS3 pad for DS4Windows?

>>187657759
oh i have mpv installed as my main video player but i didnt know it could do that

i'll try that thanks. assuming it still shits the bed i'll preemptively ask if anyone knows of any other possible fixes

might as well just deal with the fucked audio i guess

>>187658728
If on windows you literally just drop the precompiled youtube-dl executable in the same folder as mpv.

If on linux I'm pretty sure it's only a series of commands to your package manager then sitting on, your ass until it's done.

Open an mpv window, it should look like pic related
drag n drop the url directly from your browser onto the mpv window
to note that playlist only work with the actual playlist url and not the url of a video inside that playlist

>>187660206
ah right, got it working but still have the same fucked audio as when streaming from chrome, even with priorities changes

>>187660436
The problem exists with Retroarch.

>>187657401
It's mudlord's libretro loader. It actually has dynamic rate control like RA does.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNjeEiWgZ_w

>>187660504
i figured. it plays perfectly without video running, but then audio distorts with any video. i guess its maybe something that cant be fixed

>>187656728
Either your CPU is just borderline able to support the software renderer (a 3570K or better in STP is more than adequate), or you're having DPC latency issues. Run a DPC latency checker in the background while you play and watch your faggot let's plays, and see what kind of numbers you're getting when those audio dropouts occur. If you're getting huge spikes when the drops occur, pinpoint the devices/drivers that are causing this and get rid of them (there's some handy guides online to walk you through that process), and the problem will go away.

would you be able to tell if its my pc based on this?

im able to simulataneously play modern games in windowed mode while streaming 1080 videos from youtube in a browser without issue, as well as with n64 and ds emulators. i guess ps1 emulation is just that much more intensive?

What is the difference between Beetle PSX and Beetle PSX HW

>>187660679
Honestly I don't have that issue so I'm not sure it could come from and I never had to deal with that issue
I could throw you a bunch of random ideas to try out but I doubt you would have the patience to try them out, easiest would be to try and swap the drivers inside RA around especially tghe resampler, audio and video one.
I mean sometime ago I had audio distortion issues related to internet browser I fixed by switching my RAM timings from 8-8-8-21 up to 8-8-8-24

>>187661412

Ok that might sound completely crazy and retarded but what if you force either 8-8-8-24 or 9-9-9-27

Requires you to go and fiddle inside the BIOS, if you don't feel like you can don't bother but the issue feel similar enough to the one I had sometime ago that I thought I would mention it.

>>187661412
That's unfortunately way the fuck down there on single thread performance, but in theory it should still work. A quick test, set the affinity of RA to cores 2 and 3, and set (((chrome))) exclusively to core 0. If that doesn't work, run the DPC latency test.

>>187661547
HW includes some additional features, chief among them being hardware rendering, although the software renderer can still be used.

I've been saving up to buy a 1080 card, but would you say the CPU is out of date too? Messing with the affinity didnt change anything.
By BIOS you mean I'd have to press F? on boot to get to that option?
I'm too lazy to download a dpc latency test until the last bit. I'll try to fuck with the drivers and RAM
Fucking with the affinities didnt change anything either, along with priorties.

>>187662718
>By BIOS you mean I'd have to press F? on boot to get to that option?
Yeah.

So, I'm playing MGS2 on PCSX2 right now and it all runs fine and dandy, but I've got one problem with it that I can't seem to solve, the button pressure/sensitivity.

Is there any way I can get it to work? It's a feature that was used very rarely on the PS2 aside from a handful of games, so I assume it's not that big a priority for most programs.

>>187662718
Buying a 1080 and keeping that CPU would be really dumb. Not only would it be useless for emulation, it would be bottlenecked by the CPU even during normal gaming.

>>187662971
Can you map your analog triggers to the face buttons?

>>187662718
>but would you say the CPU is out of date too?
Heavily, and since your socket is 6 years out of date, you're going to need a new motherboard, memory, and you might as well get a new PSU as well because a quality PSU is the cornerstone of your build. If you're interested in emulation (especially Dolphin and PCSX2), get a 7700K.
>By BIOS you mean I'd have to press F? on boot to get to that option?
You're clearly not tech literate, and I mean that in the nicest way possible, so I wouldn't bother fucking around with your memory timings.
>Fucking with the affinities didnt change anything either, along with priorties.
Changing priorities is Steam forum tech voodoo-tier, but if it was just chrome hogging your CPU, locking it to a single core away from RA should have fixed it. That leaves us with DPC latency as the most likely culprit for said audio dropouts, and thankfully that's not difficult to fix.

>>187663173
So what bits of my PC are fine then? I assume the RAM (which i can easily/cheaply upgrade using 8gbx2 with two open slots), DVD drive, and storage (considering I don't put very much on my pc at all).

As a relatively tech illiterate person tell me why the motherboard makes a big difference and why i'd need a new one?

I'd love to learn about stuff like timings and get more "tech literate" but my job and life never call for it so i dont know how to learn all the different things, or what priority to learn

Stupid question, none of the retroarch cores emulates Super Gameboy right?, the colors and borders on Gameboy games like Pokemon.

>>187662971
At no point in the main game is pressure sensitive stuff needed, even the VR stuff is easily doable without up until you get to the last set of Hold Up missions where you will need to fuck with the sensitivity.

>>187663628
>So what bits of my PC are fine then? I assume the RAM
Newer intel platform need DDR4 so no not even that, pretty much just your SSD and disc drive, although I would advise agaisnt a 7700k and recommend you just go for a 7600k or wait for the 8350k (you're going to have to buy almost everything anyways so it doesn't make much difference), HT isn't that useful in emulation

>>187663154
I haven't tried that yet, I'll give it a go.

>>187664028
It may not be absolutely necessary or anything, but I like it. Plus, I'm just used to it after years of playing MGS2 and 3 on the PS2.

>>187663628
>RAM
Unfortunately, you're going to need an LGA1151 socket motherboard, so you'll need DDR4 RAM.
>DVD drive, and storage
Correct, you can bring that over.
>As a relatively tech illiterate person tell me why the motherboard makes a big difference
The short answer is that every generation or two of new CPUs (from a given manufacturer) has a different socket (where the CPU is "plugged in" to the motherboard), which means you need a new motherboard that has that socket. You're rocking LGA1156, while Kaby Lake uses LGA1151, and Coffee Lake is going to use a new socket.

>>187664028
Whats wrong with 7700k? Just a price thing?
I'm not trying to build my pc around just emulation but getting the best that is affordable. Besides my ram and ssd everything i bought in 2010.

Still dont know what different a MB makes

>>187664901
so basically mb makes no difference in performance at all, just whether or not a cpu fits. that fucking sucks

>>187664948
>Whats wrong with 7700k? Just a price thing?
Pretty much, you're gonna pay 100-150 more for very situational performance boosts, it rarely that worth it, even for regular gaming although it's starting to become less true.

>>187665061
>so basically mb makes no difference in performance at all
Pretty much but with Intel Overclocking is locked to only some MB rocking the right chipsets (all those that start iwth the letter Z)

>>187664948
The 7600K is very slightly better bang for your buck, but overall lower performance. For Citra, CEMU, PCSX2 and Dolphin, you want that performance. If you don't care about any of those, fuck Intel, get a Ryzen 5.
>>187665061
Low-tier motherboards often lock you out of key bios functions, which would definitely impact your performance if you're into OCing, but yes, it's mostly about the socket type.

>>187665678
>For Citra, CEMU, PCSX2 and Dolphin, you want that performance
The 7600k has pretty much the same single core performance as the 7700k and only one of those emulators cares about more than 2 threads

>>187666041
MB you should go for the cheapest Z270 you can find
PSU I would go for a Seasonic with 550watt or something close to that.

Asked about this in the last thread but didn't get an answer, in retroarch on android with slang shaders, the crt royale preset doesnt load for some reason. Additionally, for some reason bsnes crashes instantly on android.

>>187665904
I mean, it's "pretty much the same" in the same way that a 7600K is "pretty much the same" as an 4770 which is "pretty much the same" as a 3770K, with nearly identical margins in the perf increase.

>>187666041
Use http://www.logicalincrements.com/

>>187666598
wow, psus range from like $40 to $200
seems like the one i have would be fine but if not is like a $50-80 one a bad choice?

>>187667029
You really don't want to cheap out on your PSU, but you don't have to go crazy either. Around $100 with a good brand (EVGA, Corsair @ 650-750 watts) will get you where you need to go with a 1080, with plenty of headroom to spare.

Well except the part where there's no real IPC increase between Haswell and KabyLake and most of the actual improvement come from it running at much higher frequency whereas Ivy Bridge is much slower than Haswell at the same frequency especially in emulation where it's about 20% faster at the same frequency in most cases.
Not only that but I was comparing two CPU from the same gen where there is no practical difference at the same frequency in single core performance, maybe the L3 cache difference makes the 7600k a bit slower in some cases and maybe the binning means your 7700k has better chances of hitting 5Ghz than your 7600k but in practical terms yeah there is no difference unless you're running something that is properly multthreaded which is rarely the case when it comes to emulators and games up until recently.

>>187667029
Yeah like I said go for a Seasonic one in the 550-650w range, shouldn't cost you too much and it's the most reliable you're gonna get at reasonable prices.

>>187667392
>>187666919
Looking at that site,i guess dont have to go too crazy on fan either. I don't think I'll ever need water cooling.

As I understand it performance is mostly based on CPU and GPU (and RAM but thats relatively cheap) while everything else is just trying to be compatible with them

>>187667392
Not him but is EVGA really a good brand of PSUs? They seem to be a lot cheaper than Corsair and Thermaltake so I always thought they were mediocre.

I'm having trouble with PCSXR, when I want to increase the game speed by removing the fps limit it works all well until any cinematic occurs which plays at normal 60fps. Is there any way around this? The game I'm playing is digimon world 2 if that has to do with anything

>>187668063
Yeah CPU/GPU is the main thing that decides how well your shit is gonna run, RAM can factor in but not in a really major way as long as you don't cheap out completely.

>>187668126
FSP rebrands iirc, so not bad but not great.
As long as it's not ColoerMaster / Heden / Advance / Cougar / Lepa / OCZ (and rebrands) you're not ging into "blowing your shit" territory.

>>187668547
Cougar make some good shit though (mostly fans), are their PSUs really that bad?

>>187668427
Most PS1 pre rendered videos run under 20 fps, when the emulated CPU run without limit, you will suffer from this kind of situation. afaik, there is no "solution", because this is not a problem to begin with

>>187667979
There's an awful lot of qualifiers there, famalam. As I said earlier, if you aren't going to make use of that STP, just get Ryzen 5.

>>187667979
>They seem to be a lot cheaper than Corsair and Thermaltake
EVGA and Corsair are very similar (identical, for certain models) in pricing for equivalent PSUs.

Something about them cheaping out on capacitor in some models, not as bad as Heden / Advance though (aka no 300w rated PSU sold as 480w rated)

>>187669103
Closed loop watercooling is a fucking meme, for less money you can get a good radiator and two good relatively silent fans for a good push pull which won't break within your builds lifetime and will have only slightly worse cooling.

A 1080ti really is interesting only if you're using a monitor that is over 1080p unless you're going for a 144hz+ monitor

3200mhz DDR4 isn't pricy enough to not go for it, the performance difference isn't that high but the price difference isn't either so might as well That's mostly an habit of mine to always go for twice the frequency each RAM gen.

With the price of your build just spare the extra 20-40 bucks and get a gold rated PSU

>>187670292
Alright, thanks mate, I'll look into CPU fans then, by the way I have a 144hz monitor, it was a cheap Acer model but it's good enough for me, would a regular 1080 be enough for gaming at 1080p 144hz?

>>187669103
>meme case

>meme water cooling
Get a Noctua (mind your socket)
>Z270M-PLUS

>1080 TI
Questionable, but if you REALLY don't want to upgrade for a long time, I guess that's your best bet, especially with prices being what they are. I'd normally recommend picking up a 1070 at ~350, and upgrading in 3 years, but those prices are long gone.

>>187670834
>1080 be enough for gaming at 1080p 144hz?
Better off going for too much that too little if you care about high refresh rates honestly and the ti is well worth the extra if you can afford it.

>>187663720
Not so stupid.
Option is there in bsnes-RA, but command line only (which defeats the point I guess)

>>187670842
>Get a full-tower.
I found the Corsair 600Q for a good price, is it good?
>Get a Noctua
Noctua is impossible to get where I live unfortunately, last PC I built I wanted to get one but couldn't find anywhere.
>Get the Z270-A instead
Is there much that of a difference?
>Get an RM750x instead
I could get that one but from research people were saying a good 650w was enough for 1080 Ti + i7 7700K

>>187671026
I can definitely afford it, and comfortably even, been saving money for a new PC for a long time.

>>187671731
>Is there much that of a difference?
The Z270-A is ATX, while the M-PLUS is microATX with gimped specs (compare https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/PRIME-Z270M-PLUS/specifications/ to https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/PRIME-Z270-A/specifications/), and with a price difference of like $6, it's a no-brainer.
>650w was enough
It probably is, but we're comparing bronze vs gold certified here. If I was dropping 700 dollarydoos on a 1080ti, you bet your ass I'd spend that extra $40 for the better PSU.
>Noctua is impossible to get where I live

I've always been curious why widescreen mods to 4:3 games stretch the 2D graphics. Are 2D graphics like in pic related on the same level as the camera view meaning that stretching the camera view horizontally changes the X coordinate of the starting position? Couldn't someone just program it so that 2D graphics ignore the X coordinates on the outer side (determined by where the graphic is placed in relation to the middle of the screen), thus preventing the stretching?

>>187675012
Because most "widescreen mods" are crude hacks.

>>187680618
There's no chance to bend the MB right? A few years ago I heard some rumors about big CPU fans bending MBs, I didn't believe it but it kinda gets me worried if it's a possibility.

I've got one. It's super hard to install, I recommend having another person to help get it in.

>>187680970
That only happens if you over tighten stuff these days. Most MBs are built to be ready for masive heat sinks.

>>187680970
Could happen if you didn't secure it properly and then took your case to a LAN party or something where it was getting bounced around in your car, that's about it.

>>187675012
It's because widescreen hacks usually just simply edit the horizontal fov of the camera which is just an integer somewhere in memory. So the emulated system is still outputting a 4:3 image with the HUD unaffected but with skinny ass people, and then the emulator/software loader/TV scales that to 16:9 so you get normal people and a stretched hud.

When compared to the widescreen hack itself, fixing the stretched HUD is pretty complicated.

Is there literally any reason to buy an AMD graphics card? Is there anything they're better at than nvidia? I mean, I can see a few reasons why someone would get a ryzen, but not a graphics card.

If you fell for the FreeSync meme, you're pretty much locked in at this point. From a gaming perspective, there are no advantages (and some significant disadvantages, like getting shitter-shattered on increased power costs) to going with Vega at this point.

>>187675780
Yeah, now that's the look I like.

>>187685141
I feel like there should be a mod that works system-wide and acknowledges 2D graphics in the "forescreen" for aspect ratio hacks that have a 3D "backscreen", or whatever it is I'm trying to say. Extending the FOV unconditionally just seems like a lazy thing to do. I know all games are programmed differently, but there has to be some common guideline and function in the developer's manual or SDK for 2D graphics in the foreground.

We both know that if that was the case, they'd be doing it from the factory. But they aren't. Hmm, now why would that be? Could it be perhaps that there's a large enough percent of them that can't be undervolted that they universally cranked voltage to improve yield rates?

No, no, that couldn't be. Obviously every Vega undervolts with ease, and AMD's dyke gook CEO is just running this shit into the ground and rubbing her enlarged clit in the faces of shareholders and daring them to do something about it.

>>187689957
>Hmm, now why would that be?
Because fuck efficiency. Push that card as hard as you can to try and get 1070 levels of performance no matter what. There's a reason the Vega 64 Liquid literally pulls more than 200w less in power savings mode.

Hey, a friend and I were trying to play resident evil on epsxe yesterday using kaillera. We had very low ping to the kaillera server but the game was still freezing real badly sometimes? Is it just how netplay is? I'm assuming not since people play fighting games with it.

Eh? I don't think that's right, all these emulators(exept maybe Citra I have no idea) run well on whatever basically. Cemu and Citra are still getting optimizations too.

It's RPCS3 that you need to keep in mind.

>>187733805
PCSX2 doesn't run well on everything.
Depending on the game even a 7700k @ 5.2Ghz + 1080ti isn't gonna cut it (and yes either of those can be a bottleneck in the wonderful world of PCSX2)

>>187734090
>Depending on the game
I'd love to hear what games run that bad. In particular I'm more interested in SW rendering performance since I know the OGL HW renderer has bad performance.

>>187734201
>I'd love to hear what games run that bad
MGS3 has moments where it dips heavily, both in gameplay and cutscenes, the WIG takeoff and both warehouse dock area are especially bad. (half anf 3/4th speed respectively), SW is too slow to be usable unless you're rocking a i9
R&C3 in the arena can dip to half speed.
ZOE2 in the latter parts.
JaK 2&3 although in this one case I recall people calling it a bug
Primal, SW also requires an i9 to get good speeds HW is totally unplayable (screen is black and it runs at less than half speed)
Echo Night: Beyond dips to half speed when you're on HW if you use the flashlight and look anywhere that isn't directly at a wall or the ground SW is borked and will block your view with huge strips of black randomly.

Probably other examples out there but those are the recent ones I encountered.

>>187735070
thanks pham. I may take a look at some of these games at some point in the near future. I've been toying with an idea I had, for optimising various emulators. I have noticed that a lot of emulators are sub-optimal and if I targeted specific games, I could greatly improve the performance.

PS2 is my favorite system, but the few games I've played on PCSX2 ran great with SW renderer on my i5 6500, so I figured the performance must be ok.

One thing about PCSX2 that I'm not particularly fond of is the fact that it's 32bit-only. Can someone aware me of the current status of 64bit?

>>187736942
>so I figured the performance must be ok.
It is in many cases, just some high profile and a some niche games simply running like utter garbage for various reasons.
>Can someone aware me of the current status of 64bit?
Partial, enough to run stuff in SW with interpreter but obviously that's not useful.

>>187737330
>It is in many cases, just some high profile and a some niche games simply running like utter garbage for various reasons.
I see. Some of the games mentioned, are games I'm interested in playing at some point, so i definitely have incentive to reduce the system requirements.

>Partial, enough to run stuff in SW with interpreter but obviously that's not useful.
Are they continuing to work on it, or is it on hiatus?

>>187738498
>Are they continuing to work on it, or is it on hiatus?
There's a bunch of 64biut related PR that have the postponed label so I'd say yes, Grgory would have a more definite answer since he's also the main driving force behind 64bit.

Technically you can load .iso with mednafen/RA just have to provide a .cue that points to it but because .iso isn't an appropriate format for PS1 games it causes issues so they don't directly support it, ePSXe and friends only support it because they do some hacky shit to get it done which mednafen doesn't do.
There's also no reason to support rips that are actually harder to find than the good ones especially now.
Being "how it's always been done" isn't an excuse either, by that logic shit like .iso+.mp3 or .cdi would be acceptable and even you who doesn't care about some less tangible form of accuracy would agree that having your audio quality go to shit for a measly couple hundred MB saved at best isn't acceptable granted .cdi has some use for burnt disc even today considering solutions to play .gdi files on a real console are terribly overpriced.

>Well, I suppose there's "doing it for free", but then, what's your excuse for whiteknighting it on the internet? Surely they can't afford that? So you're, what, a volunteer? An enthusiast?
There's no reason to prefer bad rips even if all you're using is ePSXe/PCSXR

All the big name romsites carry them,nowadays granted EP does so indirectly because the rip are ECMed (provided they cleaned up shit like .bin+.ape and friends)
There's several big public torrents that carry the full sets of each region in .bin/.cue and none are hard to find and they're far from dead sicne I can max my VPS on those.
And pretty much all the big warez community out there sources the sets because they're easy as fuck to find whether privately or publicly.

So yeah you might have a point with direct .ecm support but it's not worth the effort apparently and it's not like it's hard to unECM them either.

SP didn't actually fix the problem. SP just disabled the DP interrupt hack on a per-game basis. Logan's solution is a global solution and therefore better. Also, how is Logan supposed to fix Gauntlet Legends, the game you are for some reason obsessed about, when other people have fixed it already in both PJ64 and mupen64plus, but the fixes are still WIP?

How are libretro devs 'collaborating' to original project exactly? Seems to me it's a one-way thing as they only care about having another functional and complete libretro port for their own end-users and the 'collaboration' here is just original devs helping them to achieve this goal (or better doing it for them)

By the way, how much have you guys donated to the libretro patreon this month? I increased my pledge from $30 to $50 because I just have to show my appreciation for all they're doing for the emulation community. Hopefully we finally get that PPSSPP core update we were promised 2 years ago.

>>187801628
>Logan's solution is a global solution and therefore better.
So global hacks > game specific hacks? I'd have to disagree. Take the hack they use for WDC in LLE. PJ64 used to have it globally enabled but there were too many problems in various games and LLE performance also suffered.

Even your precious zilmar disabled the hack for LLE, although I don't necessarily think that's the best course of action. I'd like to see how he decides to tackle the issue.

>but the fixes are still WIP?
how is it a WIP, if it actually works?

>Also, how is Logan supposed to fix Gauntlet Legends
the point is that he wasn't capable of fixing it himself. I find it ironic that the same guy that people didn't take seriously, was the one who fixed that game.

>>187706990
>At Least Dolphin has the good sense to keep telling them to fuck off.

There are many reasons.

Retroarch is inherently not compatible with Dolphin's input methods. Tell me how retroarch will configure real wiimotes, emulated wiimotes, GC adapters, or BT passthrough, when it assumes every controller is the same and gyros/accelerometers don't exist.

Retroarch has a history of abstracting away upstream's efforts and contributors. I'm aware that they are definitely working to reverse that reputation, but it's still a reputation.

They often need pretty difficult to maintain hacks to make a program that was designed not to be abstracted away to a lib, work as a core. Dolphin was designed to be a standalone emulator. I and many others would be against redesigning the entire emulator to cleanly fit libretro's design. Maybe hrydgard and friends designed PPSSPP in a way that made it easier to port. I don't know. I don't follow PPSSPP much.

How do they intend on porting our GameINI system? I saw their first attempt. Stuff everything into a header. It was not pretty. I heard they scrapped that idea though.

>>187830705
Just use a fork like bsnes-mercury or bsnes-plus that are based on older versions, and use the balanced profile instead of the accuracy profile. byuu removed the performance and balanced profiles after v98, so only the slowest profile is used now.

The balanced profile is actually just as accurate as the 'accuracy' profile, except with one game, Air Strike Patrol, that draws a shadow under the plane with a mid-scanline effect. The accuracy profile's slow per-pixel renderer will display the shadow, the balanced profile's much faster per-scanline renderer does not.

It should be noted that even an actual SNES might not display the shadow, if it is a 1CHIP revision, so I doubt that rendering graphics mid-scanline was encouraged by Nintendo for SNES games.

>>187834926
But they do? There have been cases where they pushed emulation fixes upstream.

>>187834534
I dunno, Maybe because the only thing that would need MinGW build fixes is the libretro port and standalone doesn't need it.

>>187836903
like what? I would say libretro devs benefit much more of the work of emudevs than the opposite. Whining that there is no 'collaboration' from upstream is quite ironical considering upstream devs did not asked anything in the first place and certainly not extra free work for an external project whose monthly $1000 patreons has goals like 'porting more cores to libretro' to drive peopke's donations.

See the logic, now ?

>>187853892
OR/AS yes, X/Y nope. Sun and Moon are playable too

X/Y was never playable to begin with. You can jump the start of the game with a save, but will freeze on almost anything you do (getting items, level up, etc).

i can see why people would want libretro ports for garbage emulators like dolphin, bsnes, and m64p, but I honestly don't see the appeal for already good standalone emulators (PPSSPP). Why is there so much demand for a PPSSPP libretro port? Is it just a meme? Or do people actually want it that bad?

The benefit is mainly for users to be able to run the emulator as a core library in their frontend of choice, and not be constrained to simply using the standalone versions. It's really a user focused thing, more than developer focused.

>Why is there so much demand for a PPSSPP libretro port?
Some people reported better latency performance with PPSSPP as a libretro core than with the standalone version. Don't know if that's still true with the latest version, but it was probably because of RetroArch's latency mitigation features like Hard GPU Sync.

Also some people want to run in everything in RA, to take advantage of its features like the shader library, or dynamic audio rate control for synchronization.
