Why it seems more open games are way harder to emulate?
Twilight Princess on Dolphin, the GCN version at least had those slowdowns out in the Hyrule fields. Also Shadow of the Colossus on PCSX2 was one of the most demanding games of the system. Are those things a coincidence, or is it harder to emulate?
Blake James
So PCSX2 is better now and apparently there's going to be a big fix for the next revision.
Luke Taylor
For an iPad tablet, would you suggest SNES9x Next or EX+?
Wyatt Hill
TP was just a weird bug due to inaccurate emulation. It doesn't even happen any more.
SotC is the most demanding games to emulate, simply because it's one of the most demanding games on the real system.
Alexander Moore
I would suggest an Android tablet
Hunter Brooks
It was a hand-me-down, I didn't really get a choice in make. If it's that problematic, I could probably just use my phone.
Jeremiah Brooks
Still my favorite emugen screencap
Adam Cooper
Get RetroArch Which core you use depends on which model you have, but just try all the Snes9x cores until you find one that runs full speed.
lolno For emulation I'd rather have an iOS device than an Android device any day.
Brayden Butler

David Garcia
Android is a terrible OS for anything that needs real time performance. No matter how fast the hardware is, there's always a chance the JVM will decide to garbage collect right before the screen refreshes causing the frame to be lost.
Anthony Harris
Why do people use ePSXe
Why not use mednafen or PCSX-R with PGXP
Luke Parker
because none of those run well on mobiles and there is no shortage of retards in the world.
Oliver Rogers
hey guys my ds3 controller stop working on my laptop,I used SCP along it, but suddenly the controller isn't recognized by the emulators/steam/anything. the device manager shows it and looks fine, but the controller won't charge, heck it turns itself off after a moment. said controller worksjust fine in my ps3 btw. any ideas?
Samuel Russell
Same thing with zsnes. Once an emulator is "good enough" to play any random game you throw at it, people use it forever until the end of time.
PGXP is hot new stuff that only the elite of turbo nerds even know about.
Matthew Ramirez
PCSX2 is improving all the time. Delta Force: Black Hawk Down works now in HW mode.
>but that game is on PC anyway Doesn't matter. If people want to play the console version, they should be able to. It's a somewhat reworked version, anyway.
Jonathan Bennett
They will, eventually.
Why don't YOU get to work user? The emulator is open-source and waiting for your genius mind to make it better.
Dylan Nelson
anyone? It is driving me crazy
Jayden Jones
>They will, eventually. >Why don't YOU get to work user? The emulator is open-source and waiting for your genius mind to make it better. But the game works on PCSX2 now. What are you talking about? Or did you quote the wrong post?
Mason Evans
Oh dear, is this going to be the PCSX2 equivalent of Billy May May's viral marketing now?
What happened? Did skmp assume the role of viral marketeer now since he can't do shit for Reicast/nulldc or what is the true story there?
Man that game is absolutely gorgeous, probably the best looking game the Wii has to offer
Joshua Morris
What's the recommended Genesis emulator these days? Is Exodus worth using yet?
Mason Green
Genesis Plus GX via RetroArch. Exodus isn't worth using at this time.
Joseph Gutierrez
...
Wyatt Gomez
DESMUME is suddenly running super fast after I duplicated my display to play on my TV. Limit framerate or VSYNC doesn't fix the problem.
Can anyone help me out please?
Xavier Myers
Oh, and the problem didn't go away if I set my displays to only one monitor again (as it was when it worked).
Matthew Edwards
Maybe the duplication fucks up the vsync, no idea why limit framerate wouldn't work though
Brandon Walker
Yeah it's really weird. And now I can't get it to work like it used to if I "un-duplicate" my displays either. I'm using DeSmuME X432R so that might be why. I don't really want to use the official versions though, because then I can't alter the screen sizes.
Christian Collins
Whats a good nds emulator that I can run any game on my OP3? I'd rather not pay, but I also don't have a rooted phone
Nolan Mitchell
>I also don't have a rooted phone
Why bother using an Android phone if you don't root it?
Connor Sullivan
Use Ishiiruka to remove shader stutter. OG Dolphin: Not even once.
Jose Young
And now my DeSmuME save file is gone. Fuck emulators, Jesus Christ. I should've just played it on my 3DS. Anyone know a way to restore a save?
Brandon Nelson
Is it in the recycle bin? Piriform or whatever that company that makes the good utility software is called has a tool that looks for deleted files to recover them. Try that.
Ian Cooper
I'll try that thank you. It wasn't in the recycle bin, checked there first. I'm thinking maybe it saved to some temp folder somewhere for some reason, and now the temp file was automatically deleted.
Oliver Rivera
I thought android didn't need rootin' to use emus?
Luke Green
It needs rooting if you want to pirate shit
Michael Morgan
Can't find the file even with Piriform's Recuva. Wtf happened. Lost an entire day of gameplay.
Has anyone here ever managed to complete a game on emulator?
Nicholas Scott
All the time. How does it feel being too stupid to use a computer?
Caleb Taylor
What game and post a screenshot of the folder of the emulator
Jordan Lee
Me being smarter than you has nothing to do why an imbecile emulator dev made my save files disappear.
Jayden Roberts
I never bothered rootin it, no idea what the benefits are really. So whats the best emulator for the nds?
Andrew Thomas
Not smart enough to keep track of your own saves, apparently. :^)
Daniel Sanders
Which emulator are you using? What game? I accidentally deleted my PCSX2 memcard once when I updated it but that was fine because I barely had any saves on it.
Owen Sanders
The only one, Drastic
Chase Wood
On Android? Drastic by far. It's payware though, so you better get to rootin' if you want it for free.
Jaxson King
Worth paying for the updates, or does the pirated one get them relatively fast?
Jonathan Cooper
DeSmuME X432R 2015-04-19-0 Game is Chrono Trigger DS. Here is an album with images of the folders: imgur.com/a/MEDVB
Jack Sullivan
huh the battery file is there. Did you change save types or something?
Isaiah James
Real saves should live in battery, I think. Unless you were just using save states. Whereabouts did you get to in the game? You may be able to get a save from the internet that was at roughly the same point (although unfortunately not with your stats and stuff).
Jaxon Clark
Yeah, that battery save is from the 21, when in reality the last time I saved was yesterday the 23.
I didn't use any save states at all because I've had trouble with them in the past. Seems like it's more unstable. I looked around a bit but can only find end game save files so far...
Juan Robinson
No I just sat down to play, I haven't changed any settings at all since I first set up the program (regarding the save file type).
Dylan Wilson
Where are you in the game? I have a save from fairly early on when you first go to the future.
Owen Baker
Sounds like the emulator fucked up. Your progress is gone laddy
Gabriel Butler
Yup seems like it. Thanks to everyone anyway.
Parker Clark
Wouldn't hurt in the future to consider backing your saves up to some kind of cloud storage. Good to avoid headaches like this and also if you game on multiple PCs or devices.
Kayden Thompson
>Wouldn't hurt in the future to consider backing your saves up to some kind of cloud storage Good thing Drastic(which is the superior emulator btw worth every penny) allows this.
Jose Murphy
Cheque is in the mail, friend.
Jason Phillips
You can do this with any desktop emulator really, just point your sync software to the save file directory.
Camden Johnson
pls respond
Asher Hughes
The latest version is out there for free, so yeah they get cracked pretty fast.
David Murphy
He's probably not talking about that kind of stutter. It's a fighting game even.
Owen Morris
Dolphin has the mad stutter all over the shop.
Jackson Wright
[internalized rage]
Carson Wood
>tfw your shitty psp nes emulator decided to be a special fucking snowflake and use a different save file type than literally every other emulator and .sav/.srm won't work with a simple name change fuck you nester
Colton Garcia
I wonder what they do, NES save files are just a dump of the non-volatile RAM in general.
Owen Cooper
That's iOS
Tyler Russell
Many apks have DRM and won't work without online connectivity. You need to root your device to run luckypatcher to be able to remove them
They should be easy to setup though, there's no excuse for it being slow and clunky to setup.
Nolan Diaz
>there's no excuse for it being slow and clunky to setup They aren't slow and clunky to set up though. Mednafen just needs bios and PGXP is just extracting shit in folders and then changing defaults to suit your liking. I don't get where these mouthbreathing retards are coming from who can't even do something this basic.
Parker Carter
this tbf
Wyatt Gutierrez
We need to go deeper
Dylan Harris
>tbf
You have to go back
Jeremiah Sullivan
To Veeky Forums late 2015?
Ryder Morris
Why do we get questions here about both? If it's harder than extract a zip and clicking the exe, it's going to cause issues for some
David Green
SP is one hell of a toxic piece of shit.
Ayden Jenkins
We get questions about epsxe too despite it not even being recommended on the wiki. This thread is a host to mouthbreathing retards ranging from zealots to trannies
Jayden Peterson
>not even being recommended on the wiki. Whoever removed it from recommended status is an evil mastermind for finally accomplishing what all you evil elitists have been trying to do for years.
Charles Edwards
Blaze & Blade (PAL) why, just why? RA Mednafen -> Blackscreen. ePSXe -> Blackscreen. CRC matches the one on Redump, .cue is good too. Any idea what could be wrong? Is there a guide on how to make a proper rip for Mednafen? I got the game here so...
