First for BOTW @4k on release day

Thanks CEMU

Doubt it, but maybe it will run well within the year.

Let's try out the netplay RA thing guys

Anyone knows if Dolphin/PCSX2 with all graphics settings up looks better than these games running on PC? Multiplats like Freedom Fighters or Star Wars: Battlefront II... I'm really curious about this.

>Majora's mask N64 VC now playable in Dolphin
N64 emulators lose again.

I'm sure you could apply similar effects on the PC versions to make them look good, using 3rd party software.

can anyone explain mipmapping to me?

like to a middle school kid

You ever play Mario 64?
You know how as you get closer to Peach's portrait, it turns into Bowser?
That's mipmapping. A texture is presented differently when you're further away from it. This will allow lower res textures (or completely different textures) to be used when further away from an object, to improve performance (or make cool transitional effects).

A single object having different rendering states respective to the distance from the camera.
Basically a 3D object/texture gets more detailed as the player moves closer to it.

>You ever play Mario 64?
of course not

when it came out I was a made adult already.
I don't play kiddy games.

Well that's where you're wrong, kiddo. I wouldn't suspect such a "superior intellect" as yourself to understand, but Mario 64 is one of the greatest games of all time. It's so advanced, in fact, that it explores the concept of alternate dimensions which Mario can access using real world physics concepts to accelerate himself to multiple times the speed of light, allowing for traversal of multiple parallel universes at a time.
This of course is all so that he can save his knees by not jumping, while also saving the Princess.

do we really have to wait 6 days for 1.7.1?

also will my shadercaches and savegames still work

this would be my first "update"

n64 graphics always looked off to me,
I don't know if it's the low res textures or the fact that's it's too straight unlike the psx triangles which I was very used to at the time.

to this day, it gives me the creeps

Yeah, there's a lot of fog in N64 games too, which adds to the eerie quality.

Shadercaches are transferable between versions. You'll just have to rebuild from your transferable folder.
Mudlord made a cracker, if you can get a copy of the new update.

>Mudlord made a cracker, if you can get a copy of the new update.
yes I have the keygen but not the exe

thanks.

If you manage to find it, flip it to your friends at emugen.

Wrong image OP

t b h I'd fuck it provided it had a nice silky smooth ass

Seems Im a retard, can't set up pcsxr properly, tekken plays stuttery even though I got good FPS.Mednafen plays perfectly but I hate how things look shredded in motion,

top lmao why are you using interlaced

Use mednafen-hw through retroarch.

>tekken
>not based soul calibur
youtube.com/watch?v=2lLCaZSE9wI&t=5s

>playing shitty namco fighters

Get the latest build of PCSXR off of Emucr
Also can you do me a favor and post a screenshot of Tekken running in Mednafen on retroarch with display FPS turned on?

>he thinks mednafen hw can deinterlace properly
top jej

It'd have to be on a game-by-game basis though, Dolphin seems much more handy since it's immediate and they all support joystick from the get-go. I'll probable end up getting the console versions.

Is the Mednafen for Saturn a separate download, or could I just throw the Saturn ISOs on mednafen and it will run fine?

>It'd have to be on a game-by-game basis though
Never owned a PC with a video card before?

Oh yeah, of course. You could just set a load of antialiasing options and stuff through the graphics card settings.
I did that with Darksiders because it only had resolution options.

It's always better to play games running natively on hardware, emulation will always have some small glitches here and there, also input lag. Unless it's an awful port or something like that.

Cause I don't know how to change it
Changed it to mednafen-hw now, looks much better

Got fresh downloads of all the emulators.Haven't touched any of the setting besides x2 res and disabled b. filter.Solid 60 fps, this is good now.

I meant internal FPS from the mednafen core options.

It did drop in the lower 50's on a few occasion.As i said earlier, pcsxr is the stuttery one, although the fps there is better, always varies from 56-60+

good to see RA having drag and drop now, btw

I never understood this option. How does it work for games that already have antialiasing? So you configure it at x4 on the game, and then at x4 on the Nvdia/AMD menu, what happens?
Dolphin is pretty good, though, but I think you're right.

Usually it will be game controlled. Choosing the options from the graphics menu allows you to override the game's options.

It can override game settings if you let it.

Which version and settings should I be using for PPSSPP? After looking around an hour or so I've tried several and still can't play god of war games at decent FPS/audio.

The newest.

Is the current trend of offering digital game downloads a bad thing for preservation?
Do you think future consoles are going to be digital distribution only?

Who cares videogames died in gen 7

Not really. Due to digital downloads, it's easier than ever to build up a bank of wiiU games.
The problem is, if people don't build a complete library and then the distribution servers go offline. But I think that even if all games were digital downloads, people would homebrew their consoles and rip the games from their hard-drives.

Nintendo servers are broken

What about say PS 4 tho, for example

Don't things get taken down all the time from eshop and the like before someone could make a copy? With physical copies you had control because Nintendo couldn't just barge in your house and take your game away.

Besides, in an always online model where you always need to ask the server for a temporarily stored decryption key before playing they can make the server simply refuse to serve it to you for some reason making your locally stored copy useless.

Like I said, people can always homebrew their consoles and get to the games that way.

And if a game was only produced in limited quantities physically and they were all bought by people with no will to preserve, then the same thing would occur. Someone will have it somewhere on some console.

And what if games are encrypted with unique key inside some secure chip on the console - this is possible with today's technology. So you need to hack this exact console to decrypt the game stored on it, unlike how it's right now with 3DS where you can use any console

You cannot "just homebrew" a PS4 or xbone (yet)

>(yet)

You are too optimistic.

Ps3 ended its life without being cracked

Didn't someone post last thread that they managed to get Project DIVA F fullspeed in RPCS3? What were your settings?

PS3 has CFW.

Can I still download games if I buy a used ps3?

Yes. But you can add CFW to most PS3's and just get games free that way.

emunewz.net/forum/showthread.php?tid=175419&pid=233861#pid233861

That's what I was asking

Can RPCS3 not do controller support? I chose xinput as the pad controller but it's not letting me remap.

You wouldn't be downloading them free off the PSN, you'd be installing them from USB or something.

So you agree with me that digital distribution is not always as easy as nintendo

Yes. I'm sorry, I didn't realise that we were debating that fact.

how mad is /emugen/ that CEMU is turning out to be a great emulator?

>You wouldn't be downloading them free off the PSN
psndl.net/packages

Should I download those with hope for a future working ps3 emulator?

We're very happy.

How do these work? You throw them at the ps3 like a download ticket?

I just tried for a while to get RPCS3 to work.
I think I will wait for a while before trying again.

Be honest /emugen/, have you ever bullied someone?

They're just .pkgs, same thing you'd download off a torrent site for PSN games.

so i saw the pepsiman run on sgdq and i wanted to play it. are there no good rips of this shit? game is fine but all the in game cutscenes have someone wrong with them (pic related) and it's midly annoying

never, i preferred to be bullied back because it makes me hard, especially if it' by a girl i could probably knockout

Who is scheming to change the name of /emugen/ to /emu/?

Me.

You shouldn't. The name is iconic and known round Veeky Forums as the cesspit of Veeky Forums from several events.

>patreon.com/moochmcgee
>$9 per month

Alright, which one of you did that?

Thought's on this game?

Great for it's time, but has since been replaced by the GBA remake

Disgusting. There are things in the GBA remake that are inferior and others that are superior.

>There are things in the GBA remake that are inferior

Like?

Shittier music in some cases, Nightmare looking like a fruitcake, some weird pastel color choices in levels, some bgs clash.

Do you agree with him?

What mental disorder is he speaking of that doesn't make one unhappy? Generally humans want to belong and if you're "weird" that innately destroys that capability.

Did you forget? I didn't.

Is Fire emblem playable on Citra?

We never forget

Is anything playable in Citra? Will anything EVER be playable in Citra?

Gay.

Give them more dollar$ and maybe one day

I'll let other people donate for me and reap the benefits later

well, i just found a FE: Awakening rom with "(Decrypted for the Citra Emulator)" so i thought it was.

Is Pokemon Sun and Moon fully playable at this point?

youtube.com/watch?v=G5cK-dEDsFE

Lurk more

>door sound still the same from 20 years ago

Of the 7 games I have, 4 don't boot, and one doesn't get past the title screen.

What are you emulating, user?

His OCD is probably what gave birth to bsnes

only reason sumo look playable is basically just the cancerous pokemon community harassing them into optimizing the emulator for it

most game still don't work

Yes, kinda. However, the game will hang when you beat the last champion, unless you have at least 3 pokemon nicknamed and 5 or less pokemon in your party.

What was the last game you actually finished, /emugen/?

Every single day around the world, trans people are being assaulted, verbally and physically. They are being ridiculed, discriminated against, bullied, and murdered. Yes, murdered, because they were born into the wrong physical body. They are living in hiding, misery, and committing suicide because the world cannot, and refuses to, accept them and allow them to live their lives.

Each time one of those posts, pictures, comments, memes, etc. is allowed to stand, it promotes that environment where trans people are less than, are not afforded basic human rights, are driven to death. Those kinds of posts are not all right. They are hateful, hurtful, and contributing to deaths.

Actions speak louder.

Take the photo down.

Stop spreading trans hate.

That doesn't look like a fair fight

This, on the hardest difficulty.

Ghost of Sparta. Loved it.
