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.
I'm trying to use the 3do/jaguar Phoenix emulator but can't find a way to play in full screen without distorting the pixels. There doesn't seem any option to integer scale or have some sort of pixel pre scaling with the linear filter like in MAME. It's pretty much either raw unfiltered pixels that look terrible or linear filtered which also look terrible but uniform. There is some shader setting you can select but it doesn't seem to change much. I also tried adjust the renderer mode to the experimental one and played with the sliders to no great effect. This would be a good emulator if I could just get it to display properly.

Thanks guys, it works, 30 fps in menu, is there any good controller scheme or file like PSX2 had?

What's the point of making PPSSPP faster when almost every PSP game is locked at 30 with physics tied to framerate?

Nah, the dev is just a nutter. He'll come back to reality in a while and progress will resume.

is there a version of citra I can get that doesn't have an installer? I don't want it installing random shit on my pc.
Elijah Murphy
Is it really that hard to notice the "manual download" link right below the installer download?
Henry Parker
>What are the unofficial Citra builds (aka the best ones) >What is Citra Canary No, there isn't. Go home.
Jason Turner
huh? I thought that was the typical automatically start the download instead of have the browser automatically download it
is there a problem if the emulator is using 100% of the cpu all the time?
Nolan Brown
In Dolphin and CEMU how does the annoying shader caching work? Do I have to just tolerate the terrible micro stutters in each game that makes new shader caches until they are all saved and until the game runs normally without stutters?
Angel Bennett
NOW
Nathan Long
Its a virus. Better delete yourself to be safe.
Isaiah Garcia
I don't get it, cemu says mk8 is running at 60fps but the races feel so fucking slow even at 150cc.
Elijah Perry
Download the DLC and go 200cc.
Brody Robinson
Is there a save file I can use to unlock that shit?
Jaxon Hall
are you serious or just memeing? would really like to know, user
William Powell
No, just download the DLC.
Gabriel Howard
They're called "RPCS3" and "Vita3K". I'm having a Deja Vu now. And I also had it yesterday. And the day before that. And practically the entire past week. Seriously fuck you, you fucking retard. You already know fucking perfectly the fucking answer, so stop fucking asking the exact same shit over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

Answering him every thread doesn't help much, either
Noah Sanders
Is there any way to know if the DLC installed properly? I copied the files over but there doesn't seem to be anything different.
Asher Martinez
What is the best version of FF7? PSX or PC?
Sebastian Parker
PC, duh. You can even have an endless array of modifications.

holy shit I just entered the matrix

It clearly doesn't really make a difference, so eh. Copy and pasting my reply to his copy and pasted comment is not gonna kill anyone.

>holy shit I just entered the matrix >[Intel GPU] Jeez user, I wonder why..
Adrian Perez
>Jeez user, I wonder why..
it actually runs the game just fine. Emulation is 99% CPU and it's fucking stupid developers only target discrete gpus when 99% of them already fucking have an IGPU on their fucking cpu.
Aiden Nelson
Reminder that Windows 10 is absolute shit for emulation

anyone knows how to stop flickering graphics on rpcs3? i'm playing weeb simulator (persona 5) and it's fucking annoying
Sebastian Anderson
hows that angrylion working for you on linux?
Jacob Stewart
Awful, which is why I use Windows
Isaiah Murphy
good man
Carson Wood
Is CXBX Reloaded dead again?
Grayson Perez
Emulation is only 99% CPU if you count all generations of emulation. The latest generations are actually quite reliant on graphics for high level emulation. Supporting the latest and greatest wacky GL/Vulkan/etc functionality for the sake of speed and compatibility. Intel graphics are not nearly as reliable for those wacky newer features as discreet cards. Also not as powerful to begin with, making crazy resolutions and effects harder. So they usually take the back burner.

Best way to play the original myst on w7 64? I tried the ME and it crashed often. Is it more stable with scummvm? Any other options for stability?
How do I even get PPSSPP's analog input to work with a keyboard?
Brody Reed
>emulating without a gamepad lmao
Charles Edwards
Hello /emugen/, not sure if this is the best place to post this but I need help I'm not sure where to find it.
I use a PS3 controller in emulators to play my games, I use the SCP Driver Package to make the controller work with my PC, today I decided to try and see if a could connect my controller to my phone using the SixAxis app, pairing my controller with the Sixaxis Pair Tool on my PC, worked great, set it up on emulators, everything seemed good, until I tried plugging my controller back into my PC, now the controller isn't even being achknowledged as being plugged in by the SCP Drivers. Windows makes a sounds when I plug the controller in, but SCP program doesn't.
I haven't tried too many things yet because I'm not sure what to try, but I have tried using different USB ports, and I have tried using the SCP Clean Wipe application, and reinstalling using the SCP Driver Installer, but it still won't recognize my device. Obviously I've tried restarting my PC and my Phone. My PS3 controllers are official.
Am I retarded? How can I fix this? Bonus points if I am able to easily switch from using the controller on my Phone to using it on my PC. Any help given would be appreciated.
Parker Baker
fucking gross. put down the fork kid.
Tyler Kelly
bluetooth on android should just work. scp-drivers: reinstall windows and report back
Joshua Scott
Is it still linked to your phone? Try disabling bluetooth on that.
Ethan Barnes
It still doesn't work if bluetooth is disabled, nor does it work if phone is switched off. My PS3 controller is physically plugged into my PC if that makes any difference.
Aaron Johnson
You could try that fireshock+vigem thing instead of SCP.
Eli Rodriguez
I'll give that a go, are they needed to be used together?
Ethan Phillips
I installed them both anyway because I don't know what I'm doing and can't be bothered doing 2 minutes of research. It seems to work so far, anyway to make it emulate an Xbox controller so that I play games that only work with Xbox controller with it?
Dylan Bell
That's what vigem does, supposedly.
Alexander Phillips
I'll try find out how to activate it then.
Carson Thompson
Fireshock is dinput (old games, emulators), vigem is xinput (new games)..
But now what? I've tried restarting my computer, it still just saying that there is a PS3 controller, no Xbox controller, I've tried googling but it seems there is not much documentation on this program.
Brayden Moore
Have you tried actually using any programs with it?
I'd assume I have them, I think they were needed for SCP Drivers, but I will install them when I get the oppertunity.
I'll try that out later as well
I've got to go right now, I'll be back in a few hours, so I won't be able to try anything until I come back.

Did anyone try Xenoblade on the last cemu version?
They better fucking fixed the audio and texture issues.

why does scanning a directory in retroarch work with no-intro genesis roms but not no-intro snes? They're from the exact same collection off archive.org but only genesis shows up in the menu.
Isaiah Turner
Scan in one game manually, and then try scanning the folder again.
Daniel Myers
scanning individually doesn't do anything either.
Camden Martin
Nothing shows up in the folder when you click 'scan file'?
Jeremiah King
no, all the games are there. I just click scan file and it says it scanned it but nothing shows up in the xmb
Benjamin Johnson
fuck none of the other consoles add to the xmb, only genesis.
Isaac Long
...
Eli Cook
Looks like you're selecting a file to run. Doesn't scanning shit only add it all to the playlist?
Jace Morris
no that is the scan file menu
Mason Phillips
Oh derp, okay.
Isaac Martin
one that works
Ryder Jackson
Unzip your roms, retard.
Nicholas Richardson
why?
Aaron Watson
I think scanning roms only works after you've downloaded a core that will play them, that's what screwed with me anyway
Bentley Rodriguez
ok that works
Leo Price
playing Hi-Res Adventure #0: Mission Asteroid with ScummVM in RA and the output before shaders is already scaled 2x nearest. I imagine that's just how it worked on a real Apple II, but how do I blend this dithering now? Or does prescaling mean the dithering wouldn't blend even on real hardware?
Jeremiah Garcia
forgot pic
Michael Morris
You could actually use the 'stock' scaler with nearest 0.5x scale before the un-dithering shader. To do that you have to manually edit a shader preset file and change the scale_x0 and scale_y0 lines.
Asher Wright
Also, this is also how you could add SSAA with hardware rendered cores before passing on something like a CRT shader. Just with linear instead of nearest.
Hunter Adams
I'm trying to play Sakura Wars 2 (Dreamcast version), but for some reason all the backdrops are missing in NullDC. There are present in DEmul, but that stutters and garbles sound for me. I've fiddled around a bit with the PowerVR settings and can't seem to fix it. Alternatively, if I could figure out how to stop DCEmul from stuttering and garbling the sound, I'd use that if I have to. The smooth blending in NullDC that isn't in DEmul keeps me from wanting to use DEmul anyway due to my graphic-based autism.
Any ideas as to how to fix either of these problems?
