Read the General problems FAQ before asking questions. If you still need help, post your specs (speccy screenshot), OS, emulator version number and details of what's wrong.
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.
Remember to submit bug reports or shit won't get fixed.
Doubt it, but maybe it will run well within the year.
Nolan Adams
Let's try out the netplay RA thing guys
Nolan Morgan
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.
Sebastian Hall
>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.
Jaxon Mitchell
can anyone explain mipmapping to me?
like to a middle school kid
Leo Long
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).
Dominic Phillips
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.
Austin Martin
>You ever play Mario 64? of course not
when it came out I was a made adult already. I don't play kiddy games.
Jason Evans
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.
Connor Peterson
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"
Camden Walker
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
Wyatt Walker
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.
Leo Wilson
>Mudlord made a cracker, if you can get a copy of the new update. yes I have the keygen but not the exe
thanks.
Nathan Price
If you manage to find it, flip it to your friends at emugen.
Jack Jones
Wrong image OP
Austin Lee
t b h I'd fuck it provided it had a nice silky smooth ass
Leo Butler
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,
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?
Owen Harris
>he thinks mednafen hw can deinterlace properly top jej
Kayden Martin
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.
Connor Morales
Is the Mednafen for Saturn a separate download, or could I just throw the Saturn ISOs on mednafen and it will run fine?
Nathan Johnson
>It'd have to be on a game-by-game basis though Never owned a PC with a video card before?
Owen Powell
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.
Anthony Barnes
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.
Nolan Scott
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.
Luke Clark
I meant internal FPS from the mednafen core options.
Thomas Green
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+
Jayden Scott
good to see RA having drag and drop now, btw
Daniel Reed
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.
Adrian Kelly
Usually it will be game controlled. Choosing the options from the graphics menu allows you to override the game's options.
Brandon Wood
It can override game settings if you let it.
Juan Myers
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.
Oliver Jenkins
The newest.
Eli Murphy
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?
Nathaniel Scott
Who cares videogames died in gen 7
Blake Kelly
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.
Jacob Martinez
Nintendo servers are broken
What about say PS 4 tho, for example
Jacob Ross
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.
Dylan Diaz
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.
Samuel Parker
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
Gabriel Reed
You cannot "just homebrew" a PS4 or xbone (yet)
Charles Nguyen
>(yet)
Wyatt Thomas
You are too optimistic.
Ps3 ended its life without being cracked
Owen Thomas
Didn't someone post last thread that they managed to get Project DIVA F fullspeed in RPCS3? What were your settings?
Brayden Hill
PS3 has CFW.
Aaron Ross
Can I still download games if I buy a used ps3?
Angel Martinez
Yes. But you can add CFW to most PS3's and just get games free that way.
Should I download those with hope for a future working ps3 emulator?
We're very happy.
Gabriel Smith
How do these work? You throw them at the ps3 like a download ticket?
Ryder Smith
I just tried for a while to get RPCS3 to work. I think I will wait for a while before trying again.
Carson Cooper
Be honest /emugen/, have you ever bullied someone?
Asher Mitchell
They're just .pkgs, same thing you'd download off a torrent site for PSN games.
Lincoln Sanders
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
Jaxson Perry
Who is scheming to change the name of /emugen/ to /emu/?
Benjamin Bell
Me.
Nicholas Moore
You shouldn't. The name is iconic and known round Veeky Forums as the cesspit of Veeky Forums from several events.
Great for it's time, but has since been replaced by the GBA remake
Jack Taylor
Disgusting. There are things in the GBA remake that are inferior and others that are superior.
Aaron Roberts
>There are things in the GBA remake that are inferior
Like?
Jayden Morales
Shittier music in some cases, Nightmare looking like a fruitcake, some weird pastel color choices in levels, some bgs clash.
Jack Johnson
Do you agree with him?
Jace Jackson
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.
Hudson Sanders
Did you forget? I didn't.
Aaron King
Is Fire emblem playable on Citra?
Juan Rodriguez
We never forget
Mason Lewis
Is anything playable in Citra? Will anything EVER be playable in Citra?
Isaiah Allen
Gay.
Julian Lee
Give them more dollar$ and maybe one day
David Sullivan
I'll let other people donate for me and reap the benefits later
Austin Phillips
well, i just found a FE: Awakening rom with "(Decrypted for the Citra Emulator)" so i thought it was.
Asher Evans
Is Pokemon Sun and Moon fully playable at this point?
Of the 7 games I have, 4 don't boot, and one doesn't get past the title screen.
Ryder Jones
What are you emulating, user?
Asher Lewis
His OCD is probably what gave birth to bsnes
Levi James
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
Jordan Long
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.
Ayden Reed
What was the last game you actually finished, /emugen/?
Christopher Davis
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.
