I'll get in early and repeat my question. Why the fuck doesn't Desmume emulate GBA? Are the developers retarded?
Jordan Garcia
if good programmers are expensive
why are FOSS emulators free?
Leo Johnson
I can't imagine what else SP was doing in those three years while he was listening to end users if he wasn't hearing "the gui is shit." Apparently he thought they just meant it didn't look pretty at first which is why he went to the PS3 GUI when that is just as bad if not worse than RGUI? I can't even think of a single other problem in RA since 0.9.9 or whatever as big as the gui, so I also thus can't imagine what SP has been doing when he has been listening to end users besides the mednafen enhancements. All he really needed to do was look at the stand alones he was porting cores from as far as their GUIs and realize WIMP is what PCfags desire as well as generally what is expected as far as layout too.
What is really holding SP back is this bizarre belief that his program needs to be the same on every platform when different platforms are different for reasons beyond his control. Input choices, screen real estate, functionality, and users on one platform not being the same demographics as the users on others.

Is redump org kill?

anyone have some bezels for ps1? please anons!

byuu uses freebsd and his dick is feminine

I pointed that out to him when he announced the tool but he told me to fuck off.

What's your CPU by any chance? Mine is an i7-4790.
Also, I've actually found a way to get the menus to not crash on me in one to ten seconds. I enabled threaded video (on my v1.5.3 of RetroArch, enabling threaded video would instantly crash the program upon restart, I had to edit the config manually with Notepad++ to even use it again) then it let me control the menu while it was out of focus. I was able to load ParaLLEl and various N64 ROMs, some of which ran beautifully, some of which didn't. Pokémon Stadium has some mostly minor graphical glitches (along with a seizure-inducing one in one of the menus for the Kids Club), Yoshi's Story slows down a lot in level 4-2 when the effect near the water's surface is on-screen and has relatively minor graphical glitches, Perfect Dark crashed RetroArch after the "Expansion Pak Detected" screen, and Conker's Bad Fur Day looks really fucked up, but Smash 64, Super Mario 64, and Ocarina of Time all worked like a charm.
After loading a ROM, I would alt+tab to another window to bring RetroArch out of focus, and then mess around in the menus. Doing this, I was able to load up the slang port of CRT-Royale, which didn't effect performance at all, as well as remap the controls for Super Mario 64. (These default ParaLLEl controls are a bit of a mess; who hits the button on the right for the jump button and the button on the bottom as the attack button in a platformer, especially a 3D one?) There was still some crashing, though. Sometimes when I hit F1 to enter the RetroArch menu, the executable would instantly crash before I could even see the menu. At least once it crashed after I hit "Apply Shader Changes" (I had to hit that after starting every game for whatever reason, even though the shader is set to the default one in the config) and there were a couple other crashes too. But in general, the highest stability I saw with it was while it was alt+tabbed out of focus after enabling threaded video.

RetroArch will enter maintenance mode and eventually die.
maister is too busy.
Alcaro only codes to kill time or when he's bored (cares about the project but not enough to go through all the shit code).
enygmata only codes to kill time or when he's bored (doesn't seem to care about the project at all).
Kivutar will replace RetroArch with something else to keep the lakka project going.
radius will marry, have two kids and live a comfortable life in ecuador.
aliaspider will hack something else.
mudlord will shitpost about "fixing RA" but will never submit a pull request.
zeromus will write a monograph on why SP/RetroArch/libretro failed.
simias won't give a fuck.
Andrew Morales
no, mudlord cannot code at all.
Christian Rivera
I can finally play picross properly.
John Thompson
These old games are shit. Otherwise you'd be playing them right now.
Ayden Nelson
how does devil may cry 3 emulates on the pcsx2? i downloaded the pc version and applied a widescreen patch but the port is just to horrible to play. is it any better on emulator? also how big of a factor the style switch mod is for someone new to the series?
Colton Ward
I'd say they have a lot more to fix on the DS front before they even begin to worry about GBA.
Lucas Brown
Runs without issues using the Opengl renderer but there is always that PS2 blur that DMC makes a lot of use of. DMC3 is not designed to be played with style switching on the fly. It would make the game extremely easy.
Henry James
ok thanks user i guess il just play the game on the emulator for the better graphics. opengl render allows you to crank up the texture resolution and all the anti aliasing shit right?
Robert Allen
Is there any way to emulate Pokemon HeartGold yet? Did Desmume improve at all or did all development halt?
Jose Parker
I wonder if they got taken down
Chase Jackson
Really makes you think.
Liam Davis
what if byuu-san takes over retroarch? he will force 4:3 on all of you. integer scaling will be deleting
Owen Adams
how can a dick be feminine?
David Richardson
>redream now boots games proof pls
Jeremiah Lopez
I guess making records of dumps is now illegal
Blake Morgan
what are the best CRT filter meemsa?
Dominic Stewart
compile it or go ask inolen
>>maister is too busy yeah he's so busy that he singlehandedly wrote a vulkan renderer for mednafen >>shit code SP spent 3 years refactoring it so I doubt it would be an intimidating factor for potential contributors. In fact, lioncash has just made some pull requests.
Grayson Smith
>he singlehandedly wrote a vulkan renderer for mednafen
Except he didn't
Nathan Evans
Is there any way in gods green earth to get this thing working on dolphin? It can't pick up any inputs for shit.
Ethan Perez
Now you got me curious. Don't tell me it's model replacement or some way to add more polys to models.
Joshua Taylor
Is mudlord going to save reicast?
Alexander Carter
Why the fuck would it emulate the GBA? Theyre two completely different systems, only sharing a cpu.
Jaxson Lee
>reposting.
I think something is wrong with my Retroarch search, instead of just go to the searched term it actually chose the first thing it founds.
Jackson Gray
It won't die permanently, RetroArch-Next will happen
Justin Davis
Is it possible to connect my pc to a PVM and use emulators?
Christian Rogers
This kind of clusterfuck is generally what I expect from RA.
Andrew Sanchez
Probably, you'd have to make sure of a couple of things beforehand like what sort of signal it supports and what sort of connectors it accepts. Don't plug without researching beforehand, if your monitor doesn't support 30khz and you plug a computer (that isn't using CRT_emudriver or something similar) directly on it you could damage it.
Anthony Perry
I believe in our little muddy-kun
Ian James
I thought that only worked for searching filenames for content.
Carson Myers
Why.
Nicholas Phillips
Nope, it worked for everything.
Charles Reyes
I see a lot of people on here complaining about Desmume.
If you have an android phone I can't recommend Drastic ds enough. It runs every game I throw at it perfectly and having the touch controls is really nice, and allows you to play more on the phone than on a computer.
Isaac Robinson
Closed Source Garbage
Eli Foster
...
Carter Phillips
What's wrong with an emulator being closed source and paid? It runs better than the open source alternative and has many features you would ever need.
Grayson Lewis
Tell me more
Camden Reyes
Closed source emulator can only just be a temporary solution. Look what happened to Kega Fusion.Really good emulator but the dev is gone so it’s dead.No x32 emulation for you.
Isaac Hughes
Why did you delete your reddit account ?
Cooper Gutierrez
tell you more what? I'm not convincing you guys to buy just download the fucking apk if you want
I played: >all the phoenix wrights >pokemon soul silver >zelda >wario ware >prof layton >999 >ghost trick
>Kega Fusion never heard of it. I dont see what the issue is cause the ds isn't receiving any updates or new games.
Asher Fisher
The problem is that pressing Enter key confirms twice, pressing Start on the gamepad doesn't.
William Fisher
Jokes aside, mudlord is one of the few emudevs I really like and respect, always cool to talk to about anything technical
Jackson Collins
The problem is every new update of your OS can (and eventually will) break your emulator.
Kevin Roberts
That is, as long as he takes his meds. He can be really unstable at times which is unfortunate
Jaxson Kelly
just got a 4k tv, what should i emu on it?
Daniel Miller
Intellivision
Dylan Lewis
(You)
Easton King
>4K
Reminder that by buying 4K-compilant hardware you support hardware DRM.
I mean when you're using the search you generally would do this using the keyboard since since you need to type something, now we need to click the search button>type something>click the start button on the freaking controller!?
Come the fuck on.
Jacob Reyes
It's a bug. I pointed out a bug.
Calm the fuck down dude
Gabriel Harris
I've seen people playing HeartGold on Desmume years ago. What's wrong with it?
Sebastian Bailey
They're only expensive if they perceive what they do as work. FOSS stuff is often done by enthusiasts and hobbyists, but there are also exceptions. Most contributors to the Linux kernel are full-time employees of companies who have a business interest in Linux.
Daniel Kelly
do i still have to go through cli stuff to record a webm in RA?
Jace Evans
don't forget about the massive input lag that Sony has been trying to prevent from getting out.
John Howard
it doesn't confirm twice here in windows
David Allen
Windows 10 here, HUE keyboard (a mechanic abnt2 one) same shit as just tested.
Liam Ortiz
So with the current state of Citra how long do you think it will take for it to get most if not all the catalog running at a playable state?
Andrew Campbell
>So with the current state of Citra
Fun to goof around, but not really suited for serious playthroughs
>how long do you think it will take for it to get most if not all the catalog running at a playable state?
10 years, 15 if zeromus joins the project
Carter Carter
What is native res for PSX. Just want to know whether there's much point in going over 4x internal res.
Cooper Martinez
Typically ~240p. It varies from game to game though (and can change in-game too).
Jack Sanchez

Colton Rogers
>Really good emulator but the dev is gone so it’s dead. Still werks for me.
Brayden Wright
I refuse to believe some of these games run at some bizarre resolutions?
James Hill
Finally
Elijah Rogers
Infinity years(ie, never). Citra is going nowhere. Need a competent team to make a new emulator.
Jacob Collins
>I refuse to believe some of these games run at some bizarre resolutions? >? So, do you refuse to believe it or don't you?
Benjamin Allen
Are you not aware that GBA games can be played on a DS? Did you eat lead paint as a child?
Parker Scott
Why should it? The GBA portion uses a completely different processor, just like how the 3DS uses a completely different processor to play DS games
Adam Flores
I think "(Menu) Swap Ok & Cancel Buttons" would sound a little less less confusing.
Adrian Brown
>retroarch >press esc >instantly quits
fuc
Mason Reed
The purpose of DeSmuME is to emulate the DS, not the GBA. Like I said, they're completely different systems. It would be a huge fucking waste of time and effort. Fucking kill yourself.
Angel Young
The point of emulation is to emulate the original hardware. The DS can play GBA games, therefore the emulator should as well.
Gavin Roberts
I swear there was only one less when I pressed the post button
>Citra is going nowhere. Care to explain? Or is it just another /emugen/ meme?
Carter Stewart
>640x224p Stuff like this is just so weird. Why stretch it out on a game that will be played on a 4:3 screen (at the time anyway)?
Jace Cook
It allows you to render less maybe?
Carter Cooper
How do the various 3DS pokemon games run on Citra ?
Matthew Price
You could render less by going 320x240
Jose Rodriguez
They don't.
Andrew King
> Why stretch it out Do you mean horizontally or vertically? If you mean horizontally it's due to technical limitations. 640x480 is too much for most ps1 games. Also 480 is only possible with interlacing, which developers at that time may disliked. But some games have still room for up-resing so they go for 640x240, which gives a much sharper output image than 320x240. Vertically it isn't stretched, the area beyond 224pixels is basically overscan. And the horizontal picture gets squished so 320x224 is 4:3 and not 320x240.
Tyler James
What do you get out of lying on the internet?
Joshua Allen
The truth is lies now?
Ryan Clark
What are Twinaphex opinions on sex dolls/robots?
Henry Perry
Because I found it super unhealthy to be angry about emulation there all the time. Figured I might as well try and spend more time on actual coding rather than fighting. If I could block Veeky Forums and other social media without adverse effects to the media player I use for audio streaming and things I would use that particular proxy filter to do that.
Henry Bennett
He finds them disgusting
Bentley Watson
Can't you just add a line to your hosts file to block Veeky Forums? That shouldn't affect anything else.
