Read the General problems FAQ before asking questions. If you still need help, post your specs (Speccy screenshot), operating system, emulator version number and details of what's wrong.

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.
why won't RetroArch.deb show up on my home screen iOS 9.3.3 using .deb from the buildbot repo/cydia/ folder also tried installing directly from Cydia

John SNES is the best SNES emulator on Android and it costs like $1
Snes9x had slowdowns on SMRPG, while John SNES runs anything perfectly smooth.
Same thing with John GBA. Runs better than My Boy.
Brandon Flores
>Snes9x had slowdowns on SMRPG lol wut? Is that emulator that bad? A snes emu shouldn't require that much cpu..
Caleb Garcia
it's not slowdown due lack of CPU power. It's just a poorly optimized emu
Camden Rivera
>it's not slowdown due lack of CPU power. I figured. Just surprised that Snes9x runs that bad, considering how much praise it gets.
Andrew Peterson
>just surprised We can almost feel how much this actually please you
Julian Phillips
>boycott melonDS edition
You're always free to be sodomized by zeromusware any time Just don't expect everyone else to follow you back to 2010 to the instant zeromus-sama declared that DS emulation is over and nothing new shall be added on his notice
Not even a fucking competent JIT or upscaled rendering even when others did the work for him, let alone unemulated hardware features
melonDS sure is troublesome for zeromus, he can't use the "only open source DS emulator thus the BEST" excuse anymore

regarding legal technicalities; If you own a PAL physical copy of some old game, but download and emulate an NTSC version of that game, is that still technically illegal?
Joshua Hill
who the fuck cares?
Angel James
Downloading any version is technically illegal but no one gives a shit. Some people will pretend to give a shit to save face.
Zachary Barnes
yes. but stop giving a shit, nobody is going to police you for pirating vidya.
Hudson Stewart
technically speaking playing anything that isn't dumped from shit you own is illegal but it's not like the FBI will break into your house if you download a couple roms

Anyone know where I can get the pkg or ISO files for Yakuza 3 or 4?

Drastic is full of hacks.

I just can't seem to get the motionjoy drivers manually installed, the controller ins't even detected by control panel. I want to use my DS3 on my new desktop, with Better DS3 and without that motionjoy bullshit. Could I just install motionjoy, install the drivers through it then delete it from my system or would it already be too late? I don't want to use the steam controller support because it fucks up everything that isn't a steam game.
Jordan Ross
what are some good couch co-op and party games to emulate. I have a computer-home entertainment set up in my new place and want to play some classic stuff with buddies while we are all in the same room.

Any DS emulator with Local Multiplayer?

>Reminder that the screenshot in OP is cherrypicked and NO$GBA shouldn't be used to play GBA Games under any circumstance anyways, and judging by the title, I'd say OP's fucking retarded.
NO$GBA fucking sucks for GBA games. Even for 3D elements in backgrounds it glitches horribly, and 3D games like Sonic Battle display in wireframe. Its only redeeming features were solar, e-reader and multiplayer, and VBA-M got their shit together and implemented those eventually.
For DS games though it's a passable, if not average emulator. Far from what qualifies as a bad emulator (a honor that goes to IDeaS) Somehow it does DS 3D semi okay, but is very crash prone. Tons of effects with transparency don't show well, but it still was free from many graphical bugs that desmume didn't fix until years later (GUESS WHY.)
And that's the only option right now to play games in DSI mode because you know why. baka
Asher Cooper
Anything that doesn't have the same bugs as zeromusware is hacky and inaccurate these days, or so it seems
Alexander Evans
end yourself
melonds sorta does local multiplayer. But it barely works and staplebutthead hasn't touched that part of it in months.

Aiden Parker
>Are you living in some bizarro world or something? The bizarro world where Drastic, a desmume fork by some Japanese dev that grew more popular than the main fork, and the official DS virtual console all implemented upscaled rendering...
...before zeromus-sama allowed someone else to merge to main a new and slower implementation that had to be written from scratch, TWO AND A HALF YEARS LATER. And only because no one was bothering with the official builds.
Same story for JIT recompiler for 0.9.11 later
>Has new features added regularly. LOL
> game specific hacks to help pokemon Double LOL
> cartrdige read delay to help more games boot and work better guess which new emulator fixed that problem for zeromus to copy the fix?
Aaron Sullivan
>guess which new emulator fixed that problem for zeromus to copy the fix? Wow, emulators build off the work of each other? Unheard of!!!!!!! I thought they all reinvented the wheel from scratch!
Lucas Williams
>Wow, emulators build off the work of each other? I guess the hilarious irony of bragging about the one thing that melonDS' dev spent time reverse engineering as one of the recent achievements of not-gonna-fix-it-zeromus is lost on you.
Leo Diaz
>melonds sorta does local multiplayer. But it barely works and staplebutthead hasn't touched that part of it in months. Gotta love how 35 days is now "months" and wifi emulation is "dead" in melonDS when it has been SEVEN motherfucking YEARS that zeromus not only disabled wifi menus but prevented anyone in the project from working on them

PCSX2 core for RetroArch when?
Nolan Brooks

David Russell
As soon as they update PPSSPP and implement the regular Mednafen PC-Engine core.
Aiden Thomas
>regular Mednafen PC-Engine core
Who the hell would need that anyway? PC Engine has like 3 games that are worth playing and they already run fine on the pce fast core.
Joseph Mitchell
What could be the more common cause of audio crackling on emulators?
I'm getting some crackling with beetle psx, if I disable vsync I do get less crackling, but still get some. Does it have to do anything with refresh rate?
Henry Stewart
might be the performance. what are your specs?
Dominic Sullivan
i5 4460 280x 16GB of RAM
Ryder Watson
are you using the HW renderer? Are you upscaling?
Might be worth testing standalone to see if it happens there too.
What gAME btw?
Adrian Gutierrez
Currently I'm trying Phoenix. In RetroArch I have no issues, Mednafen doesn't give me any issues either. I was just wondering what could produce it.

As long as your CPU is at least 2 core 4 thread and has a single thread rating of 2000+ you can max out PCSX2 for any game. So yes, your CPU is fine for PCSX2, and SW vs HW rendering depends on the game, some games run better in one or the other or sometimes it makes no difference.
