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.

First for nvidia shield tv is goat emulator

>tfw your ps4 will run wii-u games soon.

>Tear Ring Saga has an English patch
>Saturn version of Policenauts has an English patch
>Japan version of Ace Combat 3 has an English patch

Yeah, this is old news, but I haven't been up to speed on translation patches lately. How well do these run in Retroarch/Mednafen? I cannot test myself at the moment.

But Cemu is Windows only

it can barely handle dolphin

>How well do these run in Retroarch/Mednafen?

Perfect.

Cemu runs under Wine

>byuu's forum is still closed

>barely handle dolphin
it runs dolphin just great.

>Runs games at 30 fps with occasional drops
>Perfect

No it doesn't. Wind Waker is one of the lightest GC games to emulate it runs it 20-30fps with drops down to 3fps.

Just like on the real thing.

Wii runs at 30fps

Nope, you can read it now, though you can't register to post.

That marcan42 guy who hacked the PS4 is pretty capable in low level/hardware stuff. Why don't the emudev scene have more people like this guy instead of fucks like Squarepusher who do mindless frontend refactoring all day that doesn't contribute to the emulation accuracy? Even byuu can into reverse engineering.

Those types of people are white hat and don't want to be involved with emulation and shit.

Hi marcan42. Stop trying to bait SP.

Why is Ps2 emulation so shitty?

>Even byuu can into reverse engineering.

Not really. He wishes he could but he mostly relies on others for decapping or low level hardware analysis.

Despite being insanely talented, marcan and other console hackers are immense moralfags.

>or low level hardware analysis
If that's the case, then what did he actually do?

>Why is Ps2 emulation so shitty?
because recaptcha hasn't blessed it

Just wait until our lord and savior thegangster256 optimizes hps2x64

I'm having problems using any games. I recently built a pretty highlevel pc but everything still seems to have terrible lag when I play it despite dolphin saying it's running 60 fps like in super monkey ball

and I get this weird glitch in Paper Mario The Thousand year door where frame rates drop to 30 then jump back up to 60 at set intevals.

working as intended

>Try to get RetroArch to function properly
>Tell it to load a Gameboy Color ROM
>CRASH

i think there might b a problem with retroarch lately

>get linked to 3DSchaos.com in the last thread
>get a 3DS rom hoping to use it in citra
>wait a year to download an 800 mb rom because I'm not paying for fast downloads
>try to run it, can't cause it is encrypted
>look up how to decrypt it, you need a hacked 3ds

motherfucker if I had a hacked 3DS I wouldn't be emulating.

Well with the Christmas deadline not being met, I'm honestly wondering what's going on behind the scenes.

you people are ridiculous

what?

>mindless frontend refactoring

It feels like you've repeated this phrase hundreds of times on here, like it's your nametag. And it's been wrong every single time.

It's obvious you know nothing about programming, though. And good job taking a shit on frontend coders for no reason.

not him but I agree that sites like 3DSchaos should clarify if their roms are encrypted or decrypted, often times they don't.

You citrafags are the worst

You can manually decrypt most CIAs to CCI for use with Citra on your own PC.

No, you can convert decrypted CIAs to CCI, you can't decrypt without a 3DS.

Working fine here with the build I just made.

See. People show off RetroArch automatically detecting files and making console-specific lists.

My copy just refuses to identify game files at all and then throws a fit.

>you can't decrypt without a 3DS.
Yet. Hopefully all the hype from 33c3 will bring in some talented hardware hacker that isn't a fucking moralfag and can dump the bootrom(to get crypto).

>that shader
fucking kys

I don't use the playlist feature, I just use Load Content and detect core.
It requires up-to-date core info files and to have the core downloaded in the cores folder.

>fucking kys

Problems?

I just might have to.

So how is Beetle PSX going?

I have no idea where twinaphex's own cash comes from, he spends too much time on rarch to have a job and he refuses to use the donations
yeah lol, and him sure he's not the only one pouring time into the project
that leaves govt disability/pension/etc, and savings
or mom's basement
yeah but the rest of us aren't putting in 12 hours per day
good point

Are you on Vulkan?

What is the best neogeo emulator? (I want to play Metal Slug Series again)

Years ago I used neorageX, then kawaks, but the wiki says kawaks is shit. IT IS

FB Alpha core.

Nope.

RetroArch can't even fucking load or recognize NES roms. That's sort of pathetic.

MAME or FBA is fine
You'll need demul to play 6 though

>That's sort of pathetic
story of its life.

Good thing 6 is a shit.

What's a good keyboard to Pad mapper?

Citra doesn't seem to detect my gamepad

Oh no

Yeah, Retroarch uses a database file that can automatically list romsets with thumbnails and boxart and cheats and all that fancy shit

But it also skips over some games, and it most definitely skips over translated roms and romhacks. I have to manually launch those all the time.

And last I checked, Gameboy Advance boxart and thumbnails were utterly broken and missing, Gameboy wasn't complete, and NES had some missing art.

I don't know what to tell you, RA is an ambitious project, it's the kind of shit I set up and put on a jump drive so I can stick it and use it anywhere

Nestopia seems to throw a fit regarding romhacked games.

nvm, joy2key works perfectly

Post your retro achievements!

You DO have retro achievements enabled, right?

if I wanted modern cancer why would I play old games?

>You DO have retro achievements enabled, right?
Yep, and here's usually how it goes:

>actually play through a game
>achievements don't work

god I love Waifu Factory

I 1000% support the Citra team

works for me my man

don't know if they broke it

well ok then

To the person in the last thread asking about the Switch's CPU architecture:
khronos.org/conformance/adopters/conformant-products#vulkan

Fellow pooranon here. Can't afford a PS3 yet the only main reason I want it is for MGS4 and Jojo ASB. Can RPCS3 run either of these yet?

If you can't afford a PS3 what makes you think you can buy a CPU that can emulate it?

because I spent all of my money recently on a PC setup.

bump

where'd you get the pokemon rom

Is Soul Reaver (PS1) just a mother fucker to emulate without sound problems or is PS1 emulation just a fucker?

→Use mednafen/RetroArch.

May give that a shot I was using PCSX-R with bios and limited frames helped but was still buggy as fuck. Just wanted to smooth out textures a little though, good game, but the best version is the fuck ugly version.

>____iso sites

Don't tell me we don't have a torrent site for all the new games by now

They were originally on KAT, but...

>a new Picross released 2 weeks ago
aww yeah

Donate today!

Is there any way to know what changes or improvements have been made whenever the bleeding edge version of Citra updates?

>inb4 that one spastic that shits on Citra in every thread shows up

play the PC or Dreamcast version

What shader?

Best n64 emu for android?

I have a nVidia shield tv so the hardware is beefy enough, assuming anything works

I am not very bright, when I try to run PS1 games in Retroarch, it just closes with no error message or anything. After searching for some time, I found out the problem may be my BIOS files, my scph5500 and 5501 match the checksum, but my 5502 did not seem to and I cannot for the life of me find the same one anywhere. Can anyone help?

Because the library is enormous and there's only a couple of guys working on it. If it had a team like dolphin's then it'd be the Mac daddy. It works fairly well in my experience, it's just a bit of a beast to wrangle due to per game configs being necessary.

Has beetle-hw been fixed so that it works again in OGL yet?

PS3 emulation is many years away. Just save for a PS3.

There's a post
At the top of the thread
When will you get it into your thick head?
Before asking a question
Just learn this lesson
Read the wiki, or fucking kill yourself

That's a cute rhyme and all, but that one is not there. I already checked.

...

I suppose it'd have helped if I mentioned that the md5 was e56ec1b027e2fe8a49217d9678f7f6bb, which is not in that list.

Can I somehow port a SNES savegame from my android Retroarch to a SNES emulator on the PSP?

And what snes emu is best on Psp? Thanks

Copy the .srm file to where the PSP emulator wants it.

The PSP it too underpowered for decent SNES emulation. PSX only works because it's more like a virtual machine.

Regardless SNES9xTyl is the best iirc.

Thanks I'm trying that after remembering to read the OP

But it won't start, it says corrupted data or something, latest release.
I'll troubleshoot after lunch

Do you have CFW installed?

If you don't the last dev build of PROcfw is the best iirc but I cant find it anymore.

Yes I have cfw 6.60 iirc

Happy new year mudlord.

>Yes I have cfw 6.60 iirc
Welp I forgot to run the fast recovery thing

Now it "starts" and then autoquits

Release 26 worked, something was wrong with the new one

Are SP and twinaphex the same person?
