Read the General problems FAQ before asking questions. If you still need help, post your specs (speccy screenshot), OS, emulator version number and details of what's wrong.
Please contribute to the wiki if you discover any inaccuracies or have relevant information to append.
READ THE WIKI BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS LIKE: >Where do I get games OR >What is the best emulator for...
Check out the wiki for the emulator you're using if you run into trouble, there may be a solution there too, often including recommendations for optimal game settings.
Remember to submit bug reports or shit won't get fixed.
God damn the original PSP font looks so much better than the shit that comes with PPSSPP I believed that Freedom Unite had such a shitty font intentionally. Any reason why it isn't packaged with PPSSPP by default?

>dolphin supports wiimotes and accessories >want to use my wiimote and classic controller to play gamecube games >look up how to do this welp so much for that idea
Hudson Rogers
what happened?
Hudson Adams
apparently need to install and configure a bunch of third party shit
Josiah Garcia
Not really. You just need a bluetooth adapter and an IR bar.
Benjamin Walker
Why would I need IR to play gamecube games?
Colton Wilson
Copyright issue
Hunter Fisher
The wiimote needs an IR bar to work.
James Carter
Why was the thread gone for so long? I thought we were dead.
Owen Young
What makes you think this thread is alive?
Kayden Ward
Emugen was a mistake

Hi SP

>you will never be this paranoid
Jason Reed
>Development on this core has also been sabotaged by the fact that the only known working Model 2 emulator is closed source. Some MAMEdevs have the source, but refuse to share it or do anything with it, thereby ensuring that this driver doesn't work well.
Are you fucking kidding me? The reason why I can't play Daytona USA on my linux machines is because some retards refuse to release the source of a windows only emulator?
Easton Wilson
>Some MAMEdevs have the source, but refuse to share it or do anything with it What hot garbage is this?
Isaiah Taylor
>The reason why I can't play Daytona USA on my linux machines is because some retards refuse to release the source of a windows only emulator Just emulate the Saturn version if you are that desperate
Elijah Barnes
Saturn port is utter garbarge
Parker Russell
Every single console port is hot garbage, Especially the dreamcast version since it has completely different physics
Dominic Adams
pleb question, but how is Citra nowadays? Would it run ok on an oldish rig?
Jeremiah Ramirez
>how is Citra nowadays tash, as always
Joshua Gray
>Would it run ok on an oldish rig?
Absolutely not
Ayden James
why is emugen so dead
I thought with Cemu doing so well there would be more discussion
Ian Martinez
I had it running Link Between Worlds on a non overclocked phenom, it was like 40-60FPS, not that bad. That changes a lot, because the Pokemon games are a slowdown fest.
Kayden Hall
Citra is to 3DS emulation what JPCSP was to PSP emulation A better, more optimized emulator is gonna pop up in half a decade.
Levi Cooper
why not just help citra get better since it's already working and it's opensource?
Jacob Long
Don't kid yourself, most systems beyond Dreamcast don't have anything but a single playable emulator. NDS and PSP are an exception because they're both handhelds, relatively simple and in case of NDS there was a lot of autists willing to work on it like with all Nintendo systems.
Anthony Lee
So was JPSCP. Its not like PPSSPP popped up out of thing air. A lot of knowledge learned from JPSCP was applied in it.
>NDS and PSP are an exception because they're both handhelds And what is a 3DS perchance?
Logan Bennett
JPSCP was coded in java according to the wiki, and it wasn't originally intended to be an emulator but a debugger, that's why something else came along. I don't see the same thing going with Citra.
Easton Powell
I'd like to be proven wrong but I think 3DS is complex enough that starting a completely new emulator would be a waste of time for a potential developer, especially considering writing emulators is not the hottest thing you can do to land yourself a job
I don't know what it was about let's say N64 that made people write so many emulators of it, but I think coders nowadays would rather work on something that would make them employable, that's why you see such a decrease in new emulation projects and increase in paid shit like Cemu
Henry Garcia
>and it wasn't originally intended to be an emulator but a debugger You need to accurately emulate a system's instructions to be a functional debugger for it. There is a very good reason why most emulators have built in debugging features.
>starting a completely new emulator would be a waste of time for a potential developer I beg to differ. Citra's code is low quality. Sticking to that code-base could actually hinder progress, at least for some developers. I know I've wasted time in the past by using someone else's low quality code instead of writing my own. If the code is of quality, then I would generally agree that it's a waste of time.
Christian Miller
just use standalone
Wyatt Nguyen
So is CEMU actually playable now? I wanna play Xenoblades Cronicles 2.
is it possible?
Wyatt Moore
supercomputers only
Mason Kelly
1080GTX, 16GB RAM and i7 6700K here, no problem then.
Anthony Russell
I hope you catch on fire.
Blake Brown
>Not Xeon
Poor fag.
Eli Garcia
Is that true? MoochMcGee is the one who edited that line in
sabotage is unforgivable. I don't think this is the case, unlike zeromus' efforts with desmume. zeromus should be castrated for that.
Leo Perry
>sabotaged
He should make his own cores instead of riding on somebody else work.
Kayden Murphy
...
Isaac Hernandez
Who is "he"? The MAME team?
Ethan Murphy
zeromus did nothing wrong. Get over it, staplefaggot.
Leo Rodriguez
It is true. They're not doing it because ElSemi requested it not be used.
Eli Stewart
calling him out every chance i get. fuckhead should have his bag ripped clean off.
Aaron Campbell
Why are you so upset that he didn't want to risk fucking up Nintendo's servers with your buggy code?
Cameron Gomez
i'm upset that he would rather sabotage code than work to make it functional. it's unforgivable.
Lucas Cox
>The first one? Why wouldn't it? Because 86Box a shit. Actually, because the higher end cards in PC emulators freak the fuck out unless you're running in DOS. Tried it and nothing happened after installing the driver. Either I tried too new of a driver or it still doesn't work.
Asher Ortiz
In PCSX2, is it more advisable to use D3D11 over D3D9?
Cooper Green
If your GPU supports it, yes.
Christian Myers
Am I missing something or is no-intro missing a TON of 3ds stuff like DLC?
Jaxon Cox
What the hell is this blur? I can barely fucking see.
Jace Bailey
I have it on PS2 and it looks the same. That's how the game was originally presented.
Ethan Powell
It's fucking ghastly. I swear it wasn't like that the last time I played the game.
Joseph Fisher
Alright so I just updated the mupen64plus core on retroarch and now nothing works. Black screen for every game. Is there some kind of setup that I need to do? Something maybe in the system folder?
Joshua Stewart
Same problem here.
Gavin Harris
Turn off Cg shaders.
Leo Bell
I don't have any shaders applied though
Charles Russell
>get 1070 coming from a 290 >get PPSSPP VR >set up DK2 >play Initial D and Wipeout Pulse with VR support
so fucking great.
Logan Taylor
big fucking whoop.
Andrew Thompson
fuck off faggot why cant you have fun
Andrew Wilson
The Daytona USA re-release that was on PS3/Xbox 360 was in reality using a modified version of the Nebula Model 2 emulator. That deal with Sega is probably why you have never seen the source, and also why the 'source' he did share with MAME is not to be redistributed.
Add on top of that MAME being incompetent and not able to do anything with his sources and Model 2 emulation is not going to get anywhere fast. Plus, MAME sucks at making anything performant anyway, so if even assuming there were smart devs who were capable of backporting it to MAME, it'd be software only and dogslow.
Thomas Hernandez
Hmmm, do they do actual DLC for other systems? Their "DLC" set for the 3DS is just eShop games, and not actual DLC.
Wyatt Martin
My controller stopped working for some reason in Retroarch. Retroarch detects it but for some reason, no inputs are picked up. Works in everything else. I'm using a DS4 with SCP
Michael Turner
your input driver
Asher Bennett
Trying to play Shovel Knight in Citra on my unmodified MacBook Pro. I'm on the latest OS and build, and this is happening. For the record, I have: *Disabled and reenabled CPU JIT, V-Sync, and shader JIT *Changed the resolution *Recieved the following error message: >HW.GPU video_core/shader/shader_jit_x64_compiler.cpp:Compile_NextInstr:811: Unhandled instruction: 0x2b (0xac000000)
Landon Russell
>Shovel Knight in Citra But why?
Also, it's probably because of geometry shaders.
Jason Reed
you clearly don't have enough pixels. You just need to handle the 0x2b instruction.
Parker Martin
I bought the 3DS version initially for portability and don't feel like buying the same game twice. Is there any fork out there that adds in shaders?
Lucas James
Just started PoR on Dolphin 5.0 but I've been getting these weird tears on the portrait mouths that move during cut scenes and some chapter titles. Pic related. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I can post my graphic settings if needed.
Jaxon Robinson
Piracy is an option. >Is there any fork out there that adds in shaders? Some old unofficial builds have it. Try the 'chinese' builds, there's a link on the Citra article in the wiki.
I've had FTF off and Anisotropic Filtering at the lowest setting of x1(since it can't get any lower). Is there a way to turn it off completely?
Matthew Sullivan
Whats the best way to stop audio crackling on PS1 games in Retroarch? Using the Mednefan PSX core. Google suggested raising audio latency but doesnt seem to be working too well.
Hunter Sanders
Getting something other than a toaster to run it on.
Gavin Murphy
just play the fucking PC version
Jayden Clark
>using macOS >expecting any modern emulator to function semi-normally Also, why the fuck aren't you playing the PC version?
Evan Hughes
You probably set your graphics drivers to some stupid settings. If that's not the issue then your graphics drivers may be shit, ie amd/intel/linux.
Carson Davis
There's a Shovel Knight version for Mac anyway.
Oliver Hill
>sabotaged >when the code isn't yours
Anthony Myers
top kek. these ppl are hilarious.
Luke Hill
This is not strictly about emu, but I need help with controllers I'm using ScpToolkit Driver. When I install the PS3 controller, it works, but it also installs the keyboard as "a controller", and the controller works fine, but the keyboard stops working as it's installed as a controller for some reason. Uninstalling always uninstalls all of the ports too, keyboard starts working but the controller stops again help
Adam Gomez
Can't you just use Steam to make the PlayStation controllers work nowadays?
Ian Rodriguez
You can? If so do tell me, never heard of that
Owen Baker
onvm, guess they only added support for the DS3.
Tyler Butler
>DS3. *DS4
Asher Barnes
CRT shaders suck compared to the real thing man.
Alexander Walker
1.If your using a DS3 controller, dont install the DS4 drivers as well. 2.If you have the 360 drivers, dont keep reinstalling them 3.Uncheck your keyboard, thats the problem
Parker Allen
>CRT shaders suck Just like the real thing
Evan Thomas
Emulators suck compared to the real thing man.
Charles Hall
I disagree
Ayden Butler
>wanting to play Silent Hill WITHOUT disturbing lovecraftian texture perspective Dude that's like half the horror what are you doing?
Owen James
I see important developments are happening with 86Box.
Alexander Cook
I'm playing wipeout 3 in retroarch mednafen and every so often the background music will just totally flip out and give me a constant buzzing noise. It goes away if I change the music track manually. I got this out of the terminal but not sure if it's related.
