Clever emudevs have a Patreon

Mmm. But would you really want your job to be sitting around all day staring at code in a room on your own?
You'd likely be paid more for a real programming job and you'd have social interaction to stop you from getting depressed and isolated.

emudevs have mental issues preventing them from getting real jobs

What would happen if a "normal" person coded an emulator?

it would have a wimp gui

Made me laugh. Thanks user.

If the complete Verilog sources for N64 RDP are available, why can't someone just make a plugin that's going to interface between the emulator and some FPGA?

>FPGA
Pretty sure that's because you would need to target some ridiculous FPGA that costs over 5k

Is there any reason to not use Retroarch for all your emulation needs on Windows? Are there any consoles that run better as standalone?

ssf
epsxe
zsnes
kega fusion
mednafen
all of these are better on their own. retroarch is good if you want to fuck around with shaders.

>ssf
Barely

>epsxe
>zsnes
Not even fucking remotely close

>mednafen
>kega fusion
In some edge cases that most people don't give a fuck about.

PPSSPP is better on its own.
PJ64 is still better than retroarch alternatives.
PCSX2 and Dolphin for PS2 and Gamecube/Wii.

I use Mednafen-saturn via retroarch as it's simpler than SSF and can be loaded easily through a frontend.
Mednafen-beetle-HW can do everything EPSXE can do nowadays and is more accurate. EPSXE only for romhacks.
>ZSNES
Maybe if you want netplay. Otherwise, quit memeing.
Kega Fusion for whatever it is that Genesis+GX on Retroarch doesn't support (I think it's 32x but it might be Sega CD).
Mednafen-beetle has some improvements over standalone. It's really accuracy vs graphics.

What is the:

>avformat-57.dll
>avutil-55.dll
>libopenal-1.dll
>avcodec-57.dll

That i need for the last nightly retroarch?

>I use sandpaper to give my asshole a good cleansing. It doesn't hurt very much and I can use the pain to overcome my other senses when I meditate on how fucking stupid everyone else is.
that's you.

I feel that I gave pros and cons of each and explained why I use what I use. Feel free to explain why you think I'm wrong though.

ffmpeg
openal

no. i'm just feeling onree. i use ra unless my pos laptop run it.

>EPSXE only for romhacks.
Better performance, since it's coded by professionals.

>ZSNES
>Maybe if you want netplay.
Lowest latency

>PPSSPP is better on its own.
>PJ64 is still better than retroarch alternatives.
Better is an understatement. They are far superior than retroarch.

>Mednafen-beetle has some improvements over standalone
iirc there are regressions / additional bugs in the ps1 emulator. I'd stick with standalone since the whole point of using mednafen is for accuracy..

>latest nightly did not include updated libs, until it is fixed, just use this zip to update necessary lib files. ONLY FOR 64BIT RETROARCH.
-download and extract to your retroarch folder, replace or overwrite existing files.

Did I miss something? I thought DeSmuME's development was halted after the head dev got pressured by authorities.

radius had ONE JOB. To keep the fackin' buildbot working properly.

Why are we still feeding these bums?

Not even that worked, tried even the 32 bit version.

All nightly are fucked right now.

have you actually pledged?

>almost 2017 and not compiling your own shit

>Better performance
Not in any relevant way unless you're rocking a Pentium 3 from 2001,and it comes at the cost of less options and plugin hell.

>Lowest latency
Based on those old as fuck tests that predate the latency reductions commits, for a difference you wouldn't notice without an high speed camera.

>In some edge cases that most people don't give a fuck about.

Like Final Fantasy VIII?

Nice management there, Daniel.

Nice exaggeration there user

That's Daniel De Matteis to you sir

Did user have a stroke mid post?

>Not in any relevant way unless you're rocking a Pentium 3 from 2001,and it comes at the cost of less options and plugin hell.
I highly doubt a pentium 4 can run that unprofessional code at full speed. CPU Interpreters are for amateurs.

>Based on those old as fuck tests that predate the latency reductions commits, for a difference you wouldn't notice without an high speed camera.
If I remember correctly, ZSNES was leading by more than 16ms (which I believe is the advertised difference with the patch that Byuu doesn't believe has any real effect).

>CAN'T run it.

That doesn't account for the rest of the post but it makes a little more sense now, maybe.

>onree
I'm fairly certain that user meant ornery

>CPU Interpreters are for amateurs
>Claim ePSXe devs are professional when they can't even code an interpreter that's better than one from a supposed amateur

>I highly doubt a pentium 4 can run that unprofessional code at full speed
Pentium 4 hasn't been relevant since Core / Core 2 which in itself is more than 10 year old and Pentium was a monumental piece of shit compared to Pentium 3

>If I remember correctly, ZSNES was leading by more than 16ms
Not by much (92ms vs a bit under 75ms total system input lag), the test is also pretty dubious in places (using shaders reduces the input lag when there no logical way it ever should for example)
Anyway you're still saying that it's a good idea to drop any semblance of accuracy for 1-2 frames of input lag.

Is there a /emugen/ discord? I'm kinda lonely and would like somewhere to lurk.

Bumping.

Retroarch wouldn't let me set my generic x360-pad shaped dInput controller to a retropad with analogue. Any way to force it?

Clever emudevs just write for Android, where there are big bucks to be had.

>any semblence of accuracy for 1-2 frames
yes. it is a good idea.
ZSnes runs 99% of the US library flawlessly, so who gives a fuck about accuracy when input lag is fucking up gameplay for a title that runs just fine?
go fuck yourself you silly autist.

Even if Android technically is a shitty ecosystem to develop for?

Damn, they must really be hungry for dollars.

Drastic is 6 bucks
>Installs
>1,000,000 - 5,000,000

It's a lot of money, man.

>ZSnes runs 99% of the US library flawlessly, so who gives a fuck about accuracy when input lag is fucking up gameplay for a title that runs just fine?
>go fuck yourself you silly autist.
>Autisming over almost unnoticeable input delay is fine but doing the same over clear visible brokenness isn't
>going as far as claiming ZSNES runs 99% of the §US library flawlessly when it can't even run SMW without sounding like utter shit
ZSNESIDF please

Its too much of a pain to install emulators on ios devices. No way people are going to make money selling emus through Cydia.

>clear visual brokenness
graphics glitches here and there is fine if it's just a couple of games.
>SMW sounds like shit
sounds perfect to me. Audio problems are like 1st gen zsnes.
>ZSNESIDF
/pol/ pls.

True

Psst.

Xoutput / x360ce?

The problem with that is, I only use this controller for 5 player. You can only have 4 xinput devices connected at once.

I dug out an old crappy controller to check, have you tried using the bind all command without changing the device type?

I left it to unknown and it doesn't seem to cause any issue for me (I don't have several controller to test though)

Maybe that'll do it then. I'll try that next time. Thanks for the advice.

I keep getting this error when i try to play psp games, however it doesn't affect the games i play, what is it? I actually have ppge_atlas.zim under system/PPSSPP but keep getting this

I'm trying to get Vib Ribbon working, but both the PAL and JP version complain tell me to insert the Vib Ribbon disc when trying to start the normal mode

>I actually have ppge_atlas.zim under system/PPSSPP but keep getting this
The assets folder is suppose to be in the same folder as ppsspp.exe, not in the memstick.

>the best emulator for the system hasn't been updated in years

how did this happen?

bsnes is complete

Now for byuu to work on the clusterfuck that is GB/GBC

Has anyone tried FireShock/Vigem? I guess they're new Xinput wrappers for Playstation Dualshock controllers. Made by the guy that took over the SCPToolkit.

>Claim ePSXe devs are professional when they can't even code an interpreter that's better than one from a supposed amateur
Doesn't matter how bad their interpreter is, because their recompiler is great.

>Pentium 4 hasn't been relevant since Core / Core 2 which in itself is more than 10 year old and Pentium was a monumental piece of shit compared to Pentium 3
I just tried running Tekken 3 in mednafen standalone and it's using more than a whole CPU core... I'd have to underclock my rig, to make sure it doesn't overheat, if i were to actually consider using this unprofessional software. It relies on multi-threading to even get 60 fps, which is sad considering how old the console is.. Definitely sticking with ePSXe..

>Made by the guy that took over the SCPToolkit.
So they're shit then?

>the head dev got pressured by authorities.
What? That never happened. And they've moved development to Github.

No it's not. Go ask byuu what's unemulated and he'll list off a bunch of things. Most of them are insignificant or aren't used by any retail games, though.

>I just tried running Tekken 3 in mednafen standalone and it's using more than a whole CPU core... I'd have to underclock my rig, to make sure it doesn't overheat, if i were to actually consider using this unprofessional software. It relies on multi-threading to even get 60 fps,
And there you go spreading falsehoods, mednafen isn't multithreaded.

>which is sad considering how old the console is..
>implying that has anything to do with anything
Reminder that the most demanding emulator out there is for a fucking PONG machine

Also
>having a computer that can't handle 100% load
That's embarassing, stop using craptops.

Was an april's fool joke by the original dev.

Where can I download roms for ps2 via torrents?
My pc is messed up and stop non torrent downloads.

Just to clarify, I'm talking about weird stuff like SA1 bus contention or w/e it was and not games. Every retail game is emulated with no known bugs.

>And there you go spreading falsehoods, mednafen isn't multithreaded.
Well for whatever reason, it's using more than 1 core's worth of cpu..

>implying that has anything to do with anything
mednafen isn't cycle accurate, so there's no excuse for requiring hardware that was made 20 years after the console came out.

>That's embarassing, stop using craptops.
Why pay money just to play on mednafen, when I can just play on ePSXe for free? I won't even waste my time trying mednafen saturn. I'll stick to SSF since that was professionally made..

What's professional about SSF?

>Well for whatever reason, it's using more than 1 core's worth of cpu..
If you're using RA with threaded video maybe that could happen, otherwise it really shouldn't.

>mednafen isn't cycle accurate
Well duh, a cycle accurate PS1 emulator wouldn't run fullspeed on anything currently available

>Why pay money just to play on mednafen
In what universe do you live in where you have to "pay money" for mednafen, the only thing I have that can't run it fullspeed is a damn compute stick right now.

>I'll stick to SSF since that was professionally made..
You keep using the word professional, I don't think you know what that actually means.

Why are these textures in these weird boxes?

working as intended

>What's professional about SSF?
It is optimized to run at full speed. It also still has the best compatibility, from what I hear.

>In what universe do you live in where you have to "pay money" for mednafen
buying new hardware just to run it with better performance..

>You keep using the word professional, I don't think you know what that actually means.
Professional = well optimized + WIMP gui.

Problems with transparency, I'd guess.

>buying new hardware just to run it with better performance..
Literally what kind of build do you have that would have trouble with mednafen?

>Professional = well optimized + WIMP gui.

Professional:

adjective

1.
relating to or belonging to a profession.

2.
engaged in a specified activity as one's main paid occupation rather than as an amateur.

noun

1.
a person engaged or qualified in a profession.

Total newfag to emulation here, but:
How do I get this PSP game to work?

In each of these archives is an iso. whenever I extract one of them, it works in PPSSPP, but only up to the title screen. Whenever I extract one from a different folder, it overwrites the other one. Thanks in advance for spoonfeeding.

Fuck off and go farm likes elsewhere.

kys

People around here have a hateboner for Pi based emubox

It's the same iso you're extracting regardless of what part you're extracting, if it doesn't work look it up on the PPSSPP forums.

Gratz on not being a total fucking retard and managing to extract your iso without understanding what a multipart archive is most people just don't even get that far.

T-Thanks
Hmm alright, I'll check it out. It feels like I'm missing something really simple here.

Congrats also for getting a proper scene release thats untainted from extracted redisted scum.

Scene rules are so fucking retarded. There's no reason to keep the files separated in a million different RAR files. Stop sucking scene dick.

If it wasn't for the scene, you wouldnt be having most of these releases in the first place, grow up.
