I spent all weekend trying to discover how to emulate as many old consoles games on my phone as possible. Now I've got final fantasys 1-9 on my phone and no time to play them

I played with all the dlc with a bunch of stability mods and one that reworks the way saving/quicksaving works, very fun times running a crit guns build and literally one-shotting normal deathclaws with a bb gun LMAO
i got ryzen 7, isnt that wonderful how rimworld is 1 threaded. It really hurts when i got about 50-100 mods installed and when i right click things the game drops to 7 fps.
so, i recently got an SSD and i moved both fallout 4 and some mod files onto the SSD. my frames just got destroyed after i moved them and i'm not sure if something corrupted or if its just because i forgot some files.

Probably corruption.
Easily fixed on steam
Just click on the game go to properties verify the integrity of the files then steam will repair them.
for whatever reason, it would run for an half an hour and crash. got annoying and bethesda tech support wouldnt help b/c skyrim required a card with 512mb of memory and apparently the 9800gtx+ had 498, (it was just a loophole they used to ignore my service ticket).
I doubt it, the marketshare of such GPUs is too widespread to make sense to be so restrictive. 970 is very popular.
I doubt we will ever get another Crysis again, because of consoles and because of lack of focus on optimization like id Software had. We're reaching the limits of silicon and sooner or later if we want progress we have to go back to the roots.
Yeah that's the one & yeah I had to look up a guide on how to do basic things, then found out on accident to test drive the cars on the track to find out some problems and get them highlighted.
I used to have all the time and good health, but no money. Now Iโve got some money and good health, but no time. Soon Iโll have all the money and time (although running out), but poor health.
I took a day off without telling my wife a few weeks ago. Hung out by a lake, read a book, took a nap, browsed reddit, went home. I'd recommend anyone with a lot of responsibility do this once in a while. Daycations are underrated.
Um ok? I don't know what hardware has to do with anything. Was just saying console games are more expensive, but since you brought it up yes you do. You have to worry about buying completely new hardware every 4ish years. I'm not trying to argue against consoles but that's a silly point. Especially with the current gen where there's a patch every day and every game has day one patches, this ain't the 90s anymore where you just pop in the game and play, it's as if not more convenient to play on pc as it is on consoles now.

Bro can you not read? I'm not getting into hardware costs, tons of factors and you can absolutely get a cheaper pc that will run as good as a console. Plus that 1200 pc will outlast the 400 console for years. Either way, I'm talking about game prices, 60 goes a lot further on pc than console

Ah, and subjecting to whatever the company wants.
Going on your point of stability, months ago there was a glitch on Rainbow Six Siege on PS4 that literally break the game and your console if you try to invite friends. Both Sony and Ubisoft took nearly 2 weeks to fix it and all they did beforehand was pointing fingers as each other. Here we my have glitches,but we are not in some corporate mercy to wait for fixes. If you hate one distribution platform you can go to the competition.
A "PC masterace" worthy pc costs 1200$. A decent, 1080 high, 4k low (30 fps), should run you about 600$ to get the best experience possible at a good budget, and you can cut corners for 400 too.
No need to pay for online, and cheaper games outweigh that cost. I personally go for 600-700$ for a good money-value ratio.

"lol u play console cuz ur poor" yes because all PC players are rich right? I thought the argument was that console was more expensive in the long run?
Bro you're just putting words in my mouth. When did i say any of that? Consoles are more expensive, especially when it comes to games. Hence why they can't afford to buy hundreds of games they won't play. When you most games are 60 dollars you're more picky about what games you buy
My bad dude, didn't know what you meant at first. In that case you are completely right haha

The idea that PC gaming is cheaper in the long run is absurd. I have to build a new PC every ~4 years to stay up to date, while a typical home console generation is double that, and a fraction of the price!

God damn dude. I used to have so much fun just playing Halo or CoD or some other games on the 360 or original Xbox. PCs are great and all, but I have had the amount of fun I used to have every day like 4 or 5 times in around 10 years. Consoles were just more fun because you didn't have the option to think about it.
Iโd really like to play Chrono Trigger, Return to Evermore, Secret of Mana etc on my phone

i think there are mobile ports of them already. if you plan on emulating retro consoles and have a decent phone, you can and setting up is relatively simple.
the game are all on the appstore if you want to shell out a lot of money for them. A new jailbreak has been figured out recently so itll be easy to emulate once it becomes public
If you want my advice, get an older generation psp (1000-3000 are ideal). They are incredibly easy to find and very cheap and very very easy to softmod, it literally as easy as moving a file from your pc to your psp and running it. Ps1 games natively run on the psp so you can find Ps1 iso's that run on psp very easily (forget what they are called tho)
Psp's are anywhere from 30-80$. I got mine for like 45 online
Only emulation that gets tricky on psp is really n64 and anything beyond that.

Each game is its own story, or a continuation of something else. Playing based on the western titles 1-3 are basic in their stories and graphics
Ff4/6/10/tactics are probably the 4 best stories and characters of the series
Ff 7/9/12 are also 3 fantastic titles of the series with 7 being the title that really popularized final fantasy for us westerners
I'd say in my terms of popularity, it's 7,8,10,15,9,2,4,5,6,12,13
Ff15 is a good entry point into the series it's just very different in terms of combat from the other games. After ff2 each game adds a little something to combat
Play the last main title released for each platform, or every third title: FFIII, FFVI, FFIX, FFXII, FXV. Final Fantasy 3 is definitely the least impressive of those, but it was way better than 1 & 2. This gives you a good progression of the series without having to play them all. I don't mention VII because I don't think it holds up to everyone's nostalgia. But play whatever you want, those just kind of give you the gist of the series.
Exactly, and if you play games in a language different than English lots of mods will add or change some strings of texts into English. Whenever I notice that ingame I go into the strings editor (pretty straightforward, auto-translates strings using English and other languages databases) and I also manually translate strings introduced by the mod like weapons/armors/houses/descriptions, correct gramatical mistakes, so that it looks like everything belongs to the game. When I'm done with it it's a satisfying "Oh, that was worh it, now Skyrim is ready to play whenever I want and it will feel so immersive", but I would probably play a couple of hours before leaving it.
You should contact the mod's creator and see if you can contribute those translations back to the project. Then your work won't go to waste even if you never play the game!
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who has spent at least 10 hours modding my current Skyrim install who has also PLAYED at least 10 hours of that install.
Seriously, I even got Alternate Start, Holds, Breezehome Fully Upgraded, Immersive College of Winterhold, Falskaar, ELFX, and DynDOLOD working together. I haven't touched the mods in months, but I've spent quite a few hours playing.
Of course, I finally got my hands on a Hi-Def NES kit, so that has been distracting me recently.
We are just hoarders I guess. Ive spent a looot of time adding emulated games to steam one by one and even making banners for them, yet barely played them. Last summer I downloaded like 300gb of porn for some reason and never watched a single vid hahahah
I had quite a suite of emulators once, but some games really don't play well on non-native hardware and it's hard to keep being into it when two or three of your favorite games don't work as well as you want. I always keep DS & Gameboy emulators on my phone though. Gotta have that classic red version for Pokemon
I picked up a PSP Go on eBay recently and modded it up with emulators for NES, SNES, Sega, Sega CD, Game Gear, Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, and N64. (You can find emulator packs with games online that make it easy to install everything with a single zip file.) You can also install PSP ISOs to play those games, too. (Theyโre big files, though, so you canโt install many without a special memory card, and those can get expensive since Sony uses a weird card format.) The mod process takes no time, too. You literally put three folders on the unitโs memory card and launch like you would a game.
Anyway, itโs amazing, and the hardware is perfect for playing games so you donโt run into the playability issues that you would on a phone. I also kept emulators on my phone but never used them since itโs painful to play platformers with touch controls.
This. Very much this. It's not the ps2 era stuff that crashes, it might run at 15 fps but it runs. But trying to emulate the environment for a lot arcade classics is abysmal. I also issues with most N64 emulations

Pokemon on a phone is excellent. Lousy touchscreen controls don't matter much, and a 2x or 3x speedup cuts down the tedium dramatically.
Its been amazing playing The Sims Bustin' Out as an adult since I can actually see what's going on! Gameboy games are fantastic to play on a TV because the interface works so well.
Modding the original Xbox it was for me. Spending hours hot swapping a new hard drive in and loading modded splinter cell saves to softmod the hell out of it with Mame and a huge variety of emulators. Then choosing and loaded which dashboard you wanted, then creating a badass theme for it. Still have it and it still works beautifully today. I always try to use it on every new tv I get, just to see that sweet stretched 640x480 glory. My latest 4k tv required a series of adaptors to get it going this time around.
Spent a solid couple hours getting a ps2 emulator going for Madden l, eventually said fuck it and bought Madden and a PS4. 2 years later and Madden is coming to us.

Oh yeah I also loved building/tweaking things.
In the Metin2 age, when private servers started to appear all around the corner from the Chinese, I remember when i finally got my fingers on the holy Serverfiles to build my own private server. Spend hours to finally make it work and just realized that my PC needs to be constantly On or the server will be off.
Each time I rebooted or turned off my PC, the sever got corrupted and needed to be redone. Which I did for few weeks before I stopped and threw the project away.
The most fun part for me was building it. Fixing things and making it work than actually playing it.
I generally start thinking about this one game a friend showed me one time in grade whatever, so I set up an emulator and find the game and then realize it's not as fun as I remember.
Same, they just don't really scratch the itch for me. Would probably be better if I had the proper USB controller. I love my dreamcast though, you literally just burn copies of the games onto blank CDs because there's no protection (for certain models).
Yeah that's always been my issue, I generally use a wired Xbox 360 controller with Xpadder for a lot of emulated games, but it just doesn't feel as good as on the original console most of the time with games like Super Mario Sunshine, Smash Brothers Melee, Kingdom Hearts, Spyro, etc
If I had for example, a wired PSX/PS2 controller or a wired GC controller (or whatever controller for the corresponding game) it might be better

You should build a Retropie, it would be perfect for you. I don't think I ever finished a single game on mine.
I was just thinking about that... this post sparked a new idea.
1) Set up a mini pc tower next to my TV
2) Config and install all of these emulators
3) Create a huge database with all the games from every console.
4) Using a ps2 controller emulator confirm they ask work.
5) turn it all off and forget about it.
6)...profit?

Spend 4 hours modding a Bethesda game, walk around admiring the changes then never actually play
I've spent an absolutely absurd amount of time messing about with Hyperspin and emulators in general. Absolutely absurd. Barely play them at all. I just want to have them and occasionally my daughter wants to play an easy arcade game so it's worth it.
I do this sort of thing all the time. From Emulators to mods all the way to Virtualising different OSes. It's how I know I'm in the right career field. Haha.
Been doing the same thing myself this weekend when it comes to PS1 games in Retro Arch. I spent a better part of Saturday just toying with CRT shaders while testing a laundry list of games -- some I don't even care to play through but I need to know if they run or not for scientific purposes lol. Just seeing them run at full speed makes me smile and say "I love PC". I keep a notebook of my test results/configs and even shit that didn't work well 3 days ago has been fixed after I updated the core. This is great!
I'm actually playing Castlevania SOTN for the first time after testing it. I had no idea it was this deep gameplay wise. For whatever reason, I just skipped it back in the day. I remember popping it in epsxe about 6 yrs ago and it didn't even run. Now it's perfect. What a timeline this is :)
I was so amped Dolphin runs well I went out and got a GCN adapter for it the day after my initial testing, too. I spent about a week configuring it. I'm blown away by it so much I have zero need for my physical gamecube anymore. It's just deco on my shelf now.
i can never get anyting to work that isnt snes gen console emulators.

I get a similar kick. During something called โSteam Saleโ I like to get a bunch of games, spending multiple pay checks, and configure your my PS4 controller to get them to work. I too never play those.
Oh man if no one else mentioned it, look into Retroarch. One big app, configure downloadable emulators in it, set up graphics and tweaks, every setting you can think of all in 1 program.
Have had it set up for 2 years now with tens of thousands of roms for a dozen systems, and I love never opening it.
Damn I wish I was you. I can never figure out how to get them to work. Iโve googled instructions but still always have problems, not sure if theyโre old or broken or what.
I do the same thing and I think it's because I build up an entire library of games I want to play and I can't play them all at once and I end up playing none.
That's a problem for me. I'll do that for HOURS and then I'll never get around to actually playing games. Then I'll go through a slump of not playing any games.
Same. I got Breath of the Wild running pretty much bug-free, and it looks great, but it only runs at 20-30fps. I might actually get a Switch just to get a playably stable framerate.

What? Do you think there are people who were like "I'll only upvote this if it had GameCube and Wii as a seperate icon"? Is that a thing that actually affects the karma at all?
And if the emulators accept command line input at launch then the two icons could launch the emulator in different states or configured for their respective consoles.
...and the CDi, and the Atari consoles, and TurboGrafix16, and Neo Geo, and Sega Mastersystem, and the Sega Saturn, and the 15 other shitty ones that never really took off?

And then the switch exists and all the rules are out the window
Different games work better with different settings, and I guess some people don't wanna change it every time so they get different builds for different games.
As far as I knew, Ishiiruka was just used for the Asynchronus shader compilation. But that's irrelevant now Ubershaders exist. Is there anything else it does?
Exactly. Going from Smash melee 1080p 60fps to Mario sunshine to ssx tricky takes 3 very different configurations. I don't want to spend time switching settings every time I switch a game.
to be fair, I've never had to switch up my settings between those 3 games (more or less my top 3 dolphin games, good choice BTW) at a consistent 1440p60. a couple years back maybe but I haven't seen much trouble with dolphin In years
I'm not sure then. Full screen was always a problem for me, I forget the exact settings because I haven't changed them in a while but one game needed the wide-screen hack off, one needed some sort of shader cache option tweaked, and there was something about disc speed or something like that. I spent several hours one day getting the settings right for each one after having to mess with the settings every time I switched. It also might be different for different pc hardware. Differences in monitor, cpu, gpu, etc might require different settings.

I'm out right now but when I get home later today I'll take some screenshots and post them here. I have tricky running at 1080p 60fps but sometimes the animations before and after races (where they're waving to the crowd or talking shit with other racers) have weird glitches like missing characters or huge orange lines in front of everything. But nothing like that in the actual gameplay. And sometimes the framerate drops to like 20 for 1 to 3 seconds, but only once every 3 or 4 races. And the intro movie and EA sports "big" logo don't render video, only sound. Other than that it runs smoothly and looks great. Nothing game breaking. Still a very fun game.
It hasn't. A few games may get broken by the dev team's increasing focus on Accuracy as old hacks and workarounds get removed. But they often fix regressions quickly, and even have a tool to find the exact build which broke the game.
There's plenty of replies here already talking about it, but in my case, I had to use one version for Star Fox Adventures, because the releases I had would crash the game on alt-tab. Another release of dolphin to get a widescreen gecko code to work for Paper Mario Thousand Year Door, and many other things like this.
Tweaking things per game is a bit of a chore, and not always required. I stream, so it's worth my time to make sure everything is the best it can be.
As several have pointer out the are per game ini settings that do all the tweaks you might need, and they're automatically loaded when You launch the game.
You don't have to tweak every game before launching, just set up your ini files for the games before you start streaming. You're already doing this with different Dolphin builds anyway, this just lets you use one build and get every game working with whatever tweaks it needs.
Maybe, OP dumped his Wii's NAND and made it loadable on Dolphin. That means basically his Wii's storage, including OS, entirely is usable in Dolphin. The link could open the home menu of the Wii. Anyway, that's what my wii shortcut does (or used to back when I did more wii emulation stuff).

I use my wii as my gamecube which is supposedly faster for running the games
In addition to all this, you can add the 3DS emulator and the Saturn emulator. There is also some mild progress on the Xbox emulator too (first Xbox, not this generation's Xbox One).
PS3 and 360 emulators are coming along nicely. Oh, and Wii U too.
I heard there's already a Switch emulator that boots into a commercial game, not sure about the progress on that though.

RPCS3 is farther ahead of Xenia.
Considering the complexity of PS3, I would expect it to be the other way around.
For example, Red Dead Redemption's only current issue on RPCS3 is performance.
On Xenia, the graphics are glitchy.

Sony could earn mad cash if they made an actual emulator instead of just streaming a PS3. Old Xbox games are selling a lot now since you can play almost all on Xbox one, and even a few in 4k on the X
Actually, a download game option appeared on the menu for their streaming service the other day, but it was not active yet. So unless it only worked for ps4 games, it would mean some type of ps3 and ps2 bc.
Every PS2 game on psnow is already downloadable if you purchase it outside of the app. I'm pretty sure that the PS4 simply does not have hardware capable of emulating the PS3. I'd love to be wrong, though.
I honestly have the feeling they recompile large parts of 360 games to get them to run on x86, which is why you have to download it and can't run off disk.
Yeah I think they run it through a program that recompiles all the PowerPC instructions for x86, and package it into a VM with the Xbox 360 OS. The graphics instructions I think carry over fairly trivially since both consoles use AMD GPUs. It's also interesting that the few original Xbox games they added BC support for are also playable on Xbox 360, so I think they share a framework for that to emulate the Nvidia graphics routines.
Oh yea don't bother with the xbox one controllers, they suck in every way compared to 360 aside from a sligthly better dpad (but still trash but not as trash) The triggers and bumpers are worse which is the biggest culprit
I guess you're right on that front. I would imagine that there is less to get past, though, compared to systems where the system firmware and the BIOS are one and the same. But this is coming from someone who has no knowledge about the complexity of the PS3's BIOS.
It seemed to me that once optical discs started being used, suddenly there was more complexity to the emulation. The Sega CD emulator I had required BIOS files, as did the PS1 emu and the PS2 emu. I think CEMU requires it too. They were never distributed with the emulator itself if you got it from an "official" source for said emu, and you had to find them yourself. Was never really hard to do, but it was an extra step.

Ripping a piece of software from a storage device it is held into is not illegal. Even if it was DRM protected( doubt it) one could claim that he/she got it online with no idea how it was retrieved in the first place.
Ignorance of the law is not a valid defense against the law. If the proprietary BIOS files are legally protected and not supposed to be copied or distributed (they're not), then possession of those files is also illegal, even if the person in possession of them was not aware of that fact.
I don't care that they're illegal. I just want people to stop lying to themselves and everyone else about it.
Emulators are perfectly legal, you (should in theory) have to rip your own games, etc.
Besides, Sony isn't earning any money on the PS3 anymore, and they shouldn't be - it's all about the PS4 right now for them, so they aren't losing any money with RPCS3.
They want to sell remasters/remakes and ports on the PS4. Emulators, theoretically, cut into those profits. How much that actually translates into lost sales is another matter, but I'm sure Sony would rather emulators not exist - despite the fact that they're legal.
The way Sony and others can protect their interests in regards to emulation is through BIOS and operating system software. These are copyrighted and you can sometimes find a way around not having the actual BIOS/etc, but distributing it as a part of the emulator is illegal and Sony can file a Cease & Desist. That's part of the reason some emulators are closed source. They're probably using software they shouldn't be to get the emulation to work, so they don't want to open source the project.
I don't get this one. Why does it matter how I get the files if I own license to use it?
Emulators and games for it are ethical if you own license to use them, a.k.a have bought them.
It's not that having the files is illegal for you, it's the distribution side of things that is more concerning. One person isn't a big deal, but if you can hit the distribution of those files, then you can start to make an impact on piracy of older software.
The problem then is how do you ensure that the person downloading the files has the license to use it? Multiplayer games get around this by pairing the game to an account. Single player games don't have as much of a luxury as that, and no one would like having to register an account to play offline games (which has happened)
Another problem is, you have own license to use or license to dissect, understand, manipulate, and redistribute?
The problem then is how do you ensure that the person downloading the files has the license to use it?
You don't. While more and more of our businesses become digital, it is important to teach people that digital goods and services are like physical goods and services. I think other options are just digging ourselves to deeper hole.
If you are using torrents to download games like this, those games are getting shared with other people. Those other people maybe don't own any copy of the game. So suddenly, it's not about you downloading game, it's about the potentially 100s of people who are getting it illegally, with your help.
Sure, but ethics and legality are two different things. Do what you need to do to keep your conscience happy, and don't get in legal trouble. Life is good.
I'm betting that Sony has been bankrolling them this whole time as their project figures things out for them. Sony's own engineers tried and failed. Whatever these guys are doing is working.
Multiplatform games performed best on 360 so it's understandable if you mostly played those games. Well it would be a long list if I mentioned all but let's just mention the biggest series
Infamous
Killzone
Ratchet and clank
Resistance
LittleBigPlanet
God of War
Metal Gear Solid 4
Uncharted
Last of Us
Warhawk and starhawk
Motorstorm
The first souls game: Demon Souls
Persona 5
Nier Replicant
And a bunch of Japanese games that I don't know much about.
I owned about half this list and rented the other half, Persona & Nier never interest me, I recall the PS3 having a lot of B/C tier Japanese games toward the later years. I recall XBLA being huge for MS. I guess if you're not a fan of Halo/Gears/Crackdown/Forza then I can see someone perceiving PS3 having better titles. IMO the only thing that was on level ground with those was MGS4 and The Last of Us, Uncharted 2 was almost there (maybe a bit too long, shooting always looked weird).
I'm not saying anything about which had better games, but it's a fact that Sony owns more studios than Microsoft and therefore they have more major franchises.
We now see the height of this with MS lacking exclusives while Sony releasing one giga hit after the other. The studios that make these major hits started out with the ps2 or PS3, and now they get 3-5 years development time for each game and it really pays off.
Ms has bought some good studios recently, so hopefully they will catch up
Idk there were some really top notch ps3 exclusives Uncharted, Last of Us, Infamous, God of War 3, MGS4, Demon Souls, LittleBigPlanet, Resistance 2, Killzone 2, Ratchet and Clank, etc
Ps3 had definite quality when it came to exclusives and people enjoyed the choices that came from the variety of games.
The same argument was tossed around back when the console war was hot. The PS3 had more exclusive and much more variety, but that of course meant that on their own, each exclusive sold less than say halo 3 or 4,which everyone who owned and Xbox bought. But when you had the choice between killzone , resistance, ratchet and clank so on and so forth, people pick and choose what game they want more. The 360 also had little to no support from niche Japanese games, which were often exclusive to the PS3 at the time so there is also that
It was a piece of technology that every Japanese game developer shared between eachother if they were a man over 40. Shaking the controller has never given so much feedback as back then, but sadly the technology has been lost.
Depends on if you count things as exclusive as "things that were on X360 and not on PS3" or "things only on X360" because the former includes games that were on PC or later ported to other platforms. Like Left4Dead or Dead Rising.
No downvoting is supposed to be to push comments that don't add to a discussion down to the bottom and inviting is to make sure people see good discussion at the top. That's their intent anyway.
I'd hazard to say that the PS3 had more console exclusives that matter while at the same time emulation could achieve average frame rate the PS3 never could more so than the Xbox360, so I am very glad with RPCS3's progress
Don't current i5s have better gaming performance than i7s?
TLM_A ยท 8 points ยท Posted at 13:16:30 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
RPCS3 is extremely heavy on multithreading, running 10 threads at the same time at the minimum. The fact that the i7 has 8 logical cores helps it a lot. It really depends on the game, but for most cases, if the game is deemed "playable", I'd say the performance on an i5 is acceptable. As long as it's a desktop i5, and as long as it's at least a Haswell. For instance, I'm on my second playthrough of Persona 5 on a Kaby Lake i5, and while it does drop to ~20FPS in some areas, it runs at full 60 in others (which even the actual PS3 couldn't do).
10 threads is a minimum? Are you suggesting a standard 4 core 8 thread i7 will not suffice?
TLM_A ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 14:58:18 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
No, you can run more than 8 threads on an 8-thread CPU, it's not like it's a strict requirement to have 10 threads -- not that many CPUs have more than 8. They just won't run at exactly the same time. Which isn't that big of a deal. It works fine on quad-core CPUs -- even without HT, like I've described. Hyperthreading helps a lot though. Your CPU (assuming the flair is accurate) should have no problem handling RPCS3.
That's cool, thank you for taking the time to explain!

How does it do on Ryzen?
TLM_A ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 15:04:52 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
I haven't tried it myself. However, their recommendation on the AMD front is to use the hexa-core (and above) Ryzen CPUs. If you happen to have an AMD GPU though, beware: you may run into some very annoying graphical glitches, including a diagonal white line across the whole bloody screen if you're playing at any resolution other than 720p.
It also depends on if the performance is based on similar clock speeds. The clock speeds on i7's are usually about 15% higher than i5's but they usually both max out after overclock to speeds that put the single core performance on an i5 ahead of the i7.
fenixjr ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 14:16:14 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
No. It's just if you're ONLY gaming there's generally no reason for the i7, cause the $/performance is almost infinity in most cases.
Well, RPCS3 has pretty bad Shader stutter too. Unless youโve gone through the level once, that is. (Donโt know about Xenia though)
Xanny ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 16:59:44 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
With most emulation the barrier is getting anything to happen. If you can emulate the CPU and boot a game it means you have 99% of the library infrastructure in place to replicate the machine. Once you have something you can actually show people to both prove its feasible and you are most of the way there you suddenly get a huge influx of interest and attention to get that last 1% of the way there (and that last 1% is all the esoteric hardware and software bugs in the original, optimization, and all the features on top of a working emulator like input support).
But for that 99% you have nothing to show but debug output saying you are getting one instruction of emulation further ahead each time you implement some missing piece. That doesn't attract bug reports, patches, or a wide dev team.
And because consoles have become more complete OSes with more API surface and more complex instruction sets we don't see emulators that are feasible but too slow to practically use any more. The last major one was PCSX2 which had its first usable release fairly early in the life cycle of the PS2 but couldn't really manage playable framerates for about five years (until about 2007). New emulators are exercises in just reproducing the million lines of code Sony / MS / Nintendo wrote for a given recent generation console to make it boot, and you don't know if its even feasible until you have a boot splash. And that takes at least years.
I installed a GameBoy emulator on my old PSP recently. PC apps are great and all, but having one on an actual handheld? Pure freedom, never felt better. It's so awesome toggling between Persona/Pokemon/MGS/Zelda on the same device.
Well, a lot of the PC emulators can be used on a decent smartphone as well (tho the DS emulation needs a new high-end phone to run good). Combined with something like this you can have a more powerful advanced all-in-one PSP. There's even a PS2 emulator for Android but I never tried it and have no idea how it runs and what games are playable on it.
You aren't wrong! Buuuut, and maybe it's just me, but I've never quite liked those third party controllers for mobile phones. I'll admit that I've probably just not spent enough money on one so the ones I keep trying are trash, but none of them have ever felt smooth enough compared to native stuff like a PSP or 3DS. It's like using a Rock Candy knockoff controller at a friend's house when you were a kid, you know what I mean? Plus even though modern Android phones are more powerful than a PSP, the PSP is what the games are optimized for and you won't run into any traditional emulator bugs, and the PSP is plenty powerful enough to emulate GameBoy stuff. Not to mention it's completely free if you have an old PSP lying around somewhere like I did :')
Psp emulator is fantastic though rarely encounter any major bugs other than the occasional harmless graphical glitch.
Also you can connect a PS4 controller to an Android phone either with Bluetooth or a cable. Been using that for my emulators lately because physical buttons are a must for some games
I also like how easy it is to customize control settings pet game in PPSSPP. Makes it easier to create custom layouts which makes playing certain games actually feasible on a smartphone.
Be warned, you may need a real 3DS to dump games (legally), dump system data (legal-ish?), decrypt CDN contents (???), as well as dump/decrypt game updates (??/???/?)
EDIT: Also, Citra will need a good CPU to work with.

Is a Ryzen 5 considered good enough for Emulation? (RPCS3, Citra)
Yes, it is known that RPCS3 โค๏ธ Ryzen & Intel+TSX. That said, I don't know the performance numbers for modern CPUs, so I'd rather keep quiet. Additionally, performance is still heavily game dependent.
However, I wouldn't trade additional 2c from Ryzen just to get +10% single core on Intel. And it doesn't struggle, either.
Yeah I love my r5 1600!!! is absolutely smashes RPCS3 with SMT on, maxes out all 12 threads! the only places ive noticed it struggle in emulators is citra and cemu because single threaded IPC

Citra looked really confusing. They wanted me to dump files and do all random stuff in the discord.
I actually have a 3ds and game, but not only have I lost the recharge cable, I want to play on like 3 or 4 times speed
I did that for gba games too. The standard version is just too fucking slow for me.
Is there a way to play pokemon heartgold/omegaruby on citra just via downloads (w/o a crypto miner with it...)
I like DeSmuME, personally. Also, No$GBA is also pretty popular and includes Gameboy Advance emulation.

There's no way currently to download decrypted 3DS games. There used to be an application called Wii U USB Helper that downloaded straight from the eShop, but the legality of it was sketchy at best and the creator has stopped distributing it.
If you actually own the game you want to play, hacking your 3DS so you can dump it is trivial. You can do it in less than 5 minutes using the holy 3DS guide. You can pick up a cheap 3rd party charger and a flashcart for less than $10 total and be good to go.
I have no idea what anyone hear is talking about, not only is it totally possible to download games that work with Citra, there's multiple places. and wii u usb helper still works, you just need a specific buuld/launcher.
If you look for a "Chinese build" of Citra, those are generally packed with the dumps from a real 3DS that you need to use it, but can't be legally distributed with the official build of Citra.
So get one of those, with the extra files you need, and then use them with the official builds.

With Ryzen in general, it's a matter of threading vs IPC performance. If the application is well threaded, Ryzens kick ass. If you just want the highest possible frequency for a single thread, Intel will win that battle.
In my personal experience, Ryzen keeps slowly but surely getting better.
I just recently went from Intel to a 2700x, but I haven't tested emulators yet. Citra would be a good test, as would dolphin and cemu.
Single core performance aside, it is absolutely absurd how much shit I can do at once on an 8 core 16 thread PC. Sure I'd have slightly more max fps on Intel, but I also stream on my PC and it's great to basically dedicate one ccx (4 core cluster) to streaming an the other 4 core to the game and have barely any performance hit at all with great quality.

I hope that games, emulators and so on keep improving their multicore support. Ryzen 5 was the way to go for me because I'm someone who surfes the internet with several tabs open (right now just 24) and has kodi running on a TV hooked up to the PC and maybe a game running in a background. Ryzen is perfect for that.
[deleted] ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 14:04:32 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
My 2600 has no problems with any (supported) games in CEMU. But that emulator is extremely well optimized now.
Ryzen 5 is GREAT for RPCS3 because more cores(PS3 was an 8 core console after all) . Citra struggles a bit unless you can overclock pretty high cause it needs high single core speed, Intel is preferable for Citra.
Speaking from experience here. Iโm currently playing through Demons Souls with a Ryzen 5 1600 and a 1080. It has the slightest stutter when itโs compiling shaders every now and then but other than that it works phenomenally. I honestly canโt believe weโre already emulating PS3. Never thought Iโd be able to play demons souls.

Totally not talking from experience, but for a lot of games you can just download a rom and play, and ignore system warnings.
Oh wow, I had no idea! 6 months ago I could never find anything hassle free. If you donโt mind me asking could you possibly PM me the location of where to get these roms?
Basically the issue comes down to the fact that 3DS keydata is technically copyrighted, you can do all the decryption on a PC now but you need an actual 3DS to dump cartridges or to buy eShop games in the first place to then dump. Basically everything from carts to games to the NAND to CDN contents is encrypted with Nintendo's keys. Though granted most people here just pirate games anyhow because idk emulators make it OK somehow.
Citra. Only it and its forks aren't fake as far as I'm aware.

No Nintendo Switch emulator can boot BotW. You're probably thinking of a fake one. Yuzu is the only one that can boot a couple of commercial games, but nothing really complex. The 3DS emulator is Citra and it works pretty well.
Specifically, anything that uses 3D isn't going to work since Yuzu has no 3D renderer yet. It can do things like the menus in Mario Odyssey though.
Edit: Ryujinx was the one that could get to the Odyssey menus.

Saturn emulation is in its infancy because of the complex architecture Sega used in its hardware and the sheer amount of crack protection they used.
Xbox emulation hasnโt been a strong priority, mainly because the original Xbox didnโt have many strong exclusives that werenโt already on PC. The only first party Xbox games I can think of that arenโt on the PC are Blinx the Time Sweeper, Jet Set Radio Future and a few of the really crappy first year exclusives.
I think the Switch emulator was debunked as a hoax to get people riled up for Breath of the Wild. As far as emulation goes, the Wii U version of BotW is mainly played on Cemu, a Wii U emulator that unlike the others is closed-source and properietary.

Fairly smooth is an understatement. On modern hardware it easily outperforms the Wii U and even the Switch - both of which dip to 20 FPS in demanding areas.
An old i5 can average around 40.

For anyone interested. CEMU (unless things have changed) is pretty dependant on having at least 2 fast cores. An i3 at a high clock will run better than an i7 at low clocks. So while that's a little sad for the people running high end CPU's it also means that even entry level chips can emulate 30FPS. And even an entry level GPU can easily handle some extra AA and texture packs to make the games look sharp.
Mimical ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 14:56:31 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
Yeah they should be great. Even on older CPU's the breakpoint for 30FPS isjust above 3 Ghz. So a new Ryzen at 4.0 Ghz (even with a touch less IPC then intel) should clear 30FPS with flying colours.
Here is a decent video of a guy just increasing the clock on his 6700k to show the difference in FPS, he's not fullscreen and has a 1070 AND is on an older version of CEMU, so it might not represent exactly what you get, but it gives you a decent idea. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HaMzCg4Fd0
Have you tried it recently? I'm running on an 8350 w/ a GTX 970 and at least with the build from January or February I was able to get a solidly consistent 1080p30fps (which I locked because while I was able to get 50-60 at most times in some areas it got pretty unstable which I didn't like) with the recommended tweaks enabled (which don't degrade graphics)
Rats! I'm heavily considering buying a Switch soon anyway, just because the convenience and user experience is pretty fantastic. Glad to have been able to give BotW a go for a solid few hours of gameplay before I decided it was worthwhile though!
Fairly smooth you say, it runs ten times better than even the switch.

Yes, Cemu is the main emulator used to play Wii U games. It also plays BotW surprisingly well from what I heard.
There is speculation as to how they were able to emulate the Wii U so well in such a short space of time though. Nobody can confirm for certain since itโs one of the few emulators that is closed source proprietary software

There's also lots of speculation that they might be using proprietary code they should not have access to. Especially since BotW basically went from garbage to almost fully playable in just a month or two.
How does cemu run on your rig? I have your computer's little brother (i5 4690k @ 4.7 and regular 980) and am curious how Wii U does with similar specs.
Iโve actually never messed with it! Iโm just subbed because I find it interesting. I do see people getting above 30fps regularly with similar builds though.
I mean there's also the flash carts for 3ds if you wanna have a more authentic experience/have a 3ds but don't feel like juggling through emulator configurations
I use CEMU and breath of the wild worked on my windows 10 pc. But you will need a BEEFY pc and I would recommend a shade cache download to suit your setup.
Thanks. It's no biggie. I reddit mobile a lot and my app actually does show flairs. I thought it was a common feature. My mistake. Hope you have a great day.
I patched my Persona 5 to run at 60fps and 4K. I have an 8700k and 1080ti and I can't get above 35 fps in the city areas, but in most dungeons and every battle it's buttery smooth.
It needs some more work, but having played most games back to back on Ps3 and the Emulator, I would say the emulator is already quickly becoming better than the console in terms of performance and graphics. Depending on the game of course.

I wanna play infamous and god of war 3. Hoping those become playable soon if they haven't yet. Hell the console is young enough that I fully intend to buy the games and rip them using my PS3 if I can.
I have an Intel i5 8600k, an 8gb RX 480 and 16gb of ddr4 ram and I play it in 4k at 30 fps (native) solidly with no stuttering or weird issues other than links shadow looking weird but not very noticably. People with much lower specs play it just as well. My AMD fx 8370 wouldn't play it well though.

Just adding another PC config that got constant 40 FPS. 2600k at 4.5Ghz, 12gb ddr3 1333mhz and a 1060 3gb. No issues throughout the game.
Sadly people have been saying this about the og xbox for YEARS. Like when the gamecube emulator came out. Shit is never going to be released to my dismay.
The Switch emulator was probably helped along by the fact that it's based on an existing hardware stack (NVidia Tegra) using an ARM CPU which already has emulators. So the hardest part is getting anything unique to the Switch (like the game cartridge decryption) working.
Speaking of the original xbox...I was in college in the early 00's and a buddy of mine gutted his Xbox. He replaced the inside with, at the time, a huge amount of storage (1 TB or slightly more) and installed a Linux system in there. You controlled it with the controllers, but he installed emulators for NES, SNES, N64, etc all on his Xbox. It was awesome. The next year the 360 came out, but he still has his "super Xbox"
For the "all consoles" stuff we could also add PS4 Remote play, which is not an emulator but still a way to play it on PC.

My brother got Breath of the Wild running on an emulator just using pirated software and it ran better on his 4K monitor than it did on my switch. I'm being serious it ran at a pure 60fps in 4K. I was making fun of him for even trying it...
Are the ones for the 64 bit and CD based systems good? When I used to play emulators, they were really having a hard time cracking those, because the few that were available weren't great. I remember the N64 having huge gaps in the displays, and the PS1 being non existent.
Honestly I never played games prior to the original Xbox, and even then I don't know what O played but I am excited for Xbox 360 and ps3 one mostly for all those games I used to play.
Mainly mods, online play can be added to offline only games and it does have higher resolution and other things drayanox said. But i would be lying that it isnt convenient just to play on my pc instead of walking over to my console area.
I dont have a switch or switch emulator but i had dolphin for some of gc and all of the wii's lifespan and it was glorious. Dolpin emulator covered current gen from 2003 to wii u releae date which was like what 2013? Thats a full decade i wasnt supposed to use an emulator?
Also dolphin did online play way better than the wii did. Way less laggy
that's just it though, you don't need or have the highest resolution to play those games. i get it, it's nice to have all your games in one place, which is why i have so many steam games, but if you want to play the exclusives bad enough then you should be buying the console and play it that way. between me and my GF we have all 3 of the current gen consoles, switch being mine PS4 hers and xbone being both of ours, i only bought a switch because nintendo has always put out great games for their consoles and there is no replacement for nintendo first party games. i only got an xbone because she went half in on it, the consoles weren't worth the cost just to play one or two games on it.
i feel like instead of using an emulator for GC through wii u you could have just gotten the systems and played them. there is never a NEED to use an emulator to play current gen games/consoles
I think this is less about need and more about convenience. Like you, the gf and I own a ps4 and xbone. The reasons were to play specific games. However, hearing that I could potentially emulate current gen on my pc, I would probably do this just for the convenience factor. The companies got their money from me already--i bought their systems. And the game companies will continue to get money from me as I'll continue to buy their games.
When it comes to piracy of brand new games, I cast my lot with you. I think its important to buy them so companies can make a profit and continue to make what I want. But I don't think its fair to say that we just shouldn't emulate current gen.
Bruh its like you just ignored every valid point i made except his res and you belitted it. Better online play is 100% worth it (i edited in my last post but cant tell if you saw). Online play at all is 100% worth it. Higher res alone is worth the effort to some. Seriously 480p->1080p+. And then i dont have to spend 100+ bucks on a modern recording+streaming device that supports 480p and 60fps (btw that didnt exist until 2011) not to mention its just easier to stream from a pc. Not to mention people would rather watch a 1080p stream than a 480p stream.
I'd rather just buy the games alone and emulate them if i can. Why buy a 300$ box if my PC have far better specs. Buying console games and emulating them is the same for me as buying games on steam.

Because that's theft? Pay for the games and emulate them if you want the PC experience.
Oh, I did buy the Switch. The games as well. The point I'm making is that if they don't want gamers to resort to illegal(?) methods of playing their games, they should give them more legal methods.
they have a great legal method, you buy their system. if you don't want to buy their system you don't get the play the games limited to that system. no one is entitled to playing the games. it's honestly really simple when you think about it. want to play the games then buy the system, don't want the buy the system then you don't get the play the games. there is no valid reason for pirating current gen games. i can somewhat understand with some of the older stuff but it's just not available anymore or someone with the physical copy of the game is selling for hundreds of dollars but at that point the money isn't going to the company anyways since they no longer make it. doing it for stuff they are still putting out new and you don't get second hand, even though you can, you shouldn't be pirating and there isn't a reason for it.

CMIIW but can't you copy the .exe from Program Files or wherever and paste it to Desktop? Or does that effectively just create a shortcut?
ethdman ยท 17 points ยท Posted at 14:40:19 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
Many programs have issues if you have the exe in a different spot than where it was initially installed, or will go into a sort of "portable mode" that'll dump all its data files onto whatever directory it's in, which would be the desktop in this case.
Shortcuts are also really, really small (a few kilobytes at most). Even the smallest modern executables are bigger than that.
This is what symlinks are for. Lookup mklink or how to make a symlink on windows
ethdman ยท 8 points ยท Posted at 15:31:33 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
Eh, I think I'll stick with shortcuts for virtually everything on my desktop. They have their place too. Symlinks are better for relocating program data when a program refuses to have its data elsewhere or when an app can't move its directory. Not so great for populating your desktop with apps.
EDIT: Mostly just because the desktop is the sort of thing shortcuts are made for, and migrating app data is the sort of thing symlinks are made for. I'm sure there are benefits to killing shortcuts altogether and just using symlinks, but I can't think of any right now.
Symlink are shortcuts at the filesystem level, they don't rely on Windows API properly using the shortcut in context. Windows should replace shortcuts with normal symlinks.
ethdman ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 17:54:24 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
Shortcuts use Windows Explorer to pass context to applications, which seems to handle it perfectly well. As long as you don't mess with what Windows Explorer does by default when creating shortcuts, it's unlikely to cause issues.
Yeah, that means you're relying on Explorer to handle that part, but in the same vein you're relying on the filesystem to provide the correct context when you symlink. Both are perfectly good at doing their jobs, so not much point to worrying about which piece of software is working correctly.
That said, I think symlinks could serve as a decent enough replacement for shortcuts, but Windows needs a lot of work from a UI perspective to make symlinks easy to use for the general populace. Since the shortcut system already works well enough for what it is (a way to easily access software installed on your computer via your desktop or Start menu) there's likely not much drive among Windows devs to change that up too much.
Yeah but at the filesystem level makes more sense. A symlink can be handled and traversed by other operating systems to some degree. I can cd into a symlinked directory on Windows from Linux (of course there are issues like not understanding ntfs permissions, but it works)...There's no way Linux is going to understand a .lnk
Plus if I write a program that lets you open stuff, I either have to explicitly program to allow for .lnk files and how to handle them, whereas symlinks would just work because it's pointing at the actual file on disk
Edit: It's better to have this at a kernel level rather than an OS level for interoperability. This way software devs don't have to worry about it in userland applications. You can implement functionality a million different ways, but there's a right way and a wrong way to do it. Symlinks are the way to go if you want to work towards future-proofing compatibility with different OS's.

You know how you go into a folder for a game and there's tons of other stuff in there besides just the .exe for the game? That .exe needs all that stuff, specifically it needs it in relation to it being where it is. If there's a pic in the same folder as the exe it's very likely looking for it like pic.jpg, not C:\Program Files\publisher\developer\game\stuff\pic.jpg (though it could be).
Basically the exe will know where it is during install, why you get that popup asking where to install, but if you move the exe after it's likely it won't know this and be screwed up.

Just like the other guy said, with a shortcut you can save lots of GB on your desktop. A lot of people have two different drives, so putting every program on the D: drive saves a lot of space on the C: drive (where your desktop is located)
Man I loved the 3do, growing up my neighbor used to have all the new gaming systems so I'd be over there all the time to play whatever awesome game was out. Wolfenstien and some game where you make a crazy obstacle course that a ball has to travel down. Looking back it's kinda creepy that I'd be over a middle aged man house every day playing video games in a dark room or swimming in his pool alone. But he and his wife couldn't have children so I think they just liked having my sister and I over to play.
Edit: Before he moved he sold me his Genesis, 32x, and Sega CD with a box of games for a few hundred bucks, I still bust that giant thing out when I want to impress the ladies.

That whole setup is entirely ridiculous but it just fascinates me. The Sega CD is crazy expensive now, I wish I'd bought one a few years back when they were still a ripoff, but not absurd. I have a 32X that I snatched up on eBay for a decent price, and a custom power supply harness so I don't need three power adapters.
The master race had just gotten the Apple II when good consoles were a thing. Interestingly, models of both the Atari 2600 and Apple II (which were both released in 1977) were manufactured and sold well into the 90s.

These days itโs better to look it up under the Japanese name PC Engine. Japan got a ton of games the west never got.
I remember when I first discovered emulation like in 98. Dragonball Z was just starting it's run on Toonami. One of my greatest moments in gaming is discovering all the Dragonball Z games for NES, SNES, and Genesis that were only released in Japan.
Bonks Great Adventure. It's crazy but For maybe about 1 year in the early 90s, Bonk was right up there with Sonic and Mario in terms of popularity, he was the mascot of the TG16.
It's a shame that there's so little media for 3DS, Wii U and PS3 emulation. I've got a whole themed setup for my frontend, but I haven't seen a single background pack that includes those three consoles.

Didn't save the link unfortunately, I'll get back to you if I find it.
No it doesn't! It's far better to tell people to "google" things, so that when the next guy asks the same question, his top result will be some hip young person telling someone else to google it! This results in infinite googling and results in a quantum new age of information scarcity and -
For example, I would LOVE to use emulators and find some of my old favorites but Iโm paranoid as shit about finding a safe way to download it/ROMs, and it might have been a good idea for me to just ask reddit /shrug
Reddit is better than google by far, tbh. Info like this from actual humans with experience giving contextually detailed responses, or opinions on like product searches. I love it. Thanks /u/thatguywithawatch
Same. It's currently possible to get into the game by fiddling with the settings in RPCS3, but it requires very high end hardware and even then is currently very buggy and barely runs. Maybe someday, though.
Didn't know you could save comments. Also I rely mostly on gog and steam so I dont really look farther. I just comment to save because it's what I've done

[deleted] ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 17:24:02 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
Well, for CD based games you just make an ISO. For cartridge based games, you can usually get USB thingies that dump the cardridge to files useable for emulators.
That's of course the proper way to do it, as we are all only playing the games we personally own, right? Although I have heard there is a paradise for emus on the web where you can find quite a bit. Google is your friend.
In using all of these, can they be played using a keyboard and mouse or do you need to attach controllers?
[deleted] ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 17:18:50 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
They can, mostly. But I'd recommend getting a controller. It's alright for 2d games, but most 3d games need a controller to feel decent. I'd get an Xbox 360 controller or Xbox One controller, they are supported by most emulators. The 8bitdo controllers are nice, too, if you like it retro. Not quite on the level of old Nintendo controllers, but close.

I just finished playing Assassin's Creed Altair Chronicles the other day, and the first time that i wanted to try it, i used DesmuME and the sound was stuttering a lot, so i used RetroArch instead, downloaded the DesmuME in it and the game worked perfectly, the only thing that didn't work was the voices of the characters but i didn't mind that because the voice acting is bad in the game.
mGBA, decent? It's the single best GBA emulator out there. It's the most accurate one, has excellent performance, is really polished with lots of features, and even has GB and GBC support.

We grew up on Limewire and and torrents. Pirating music back then was so ubiquitous, I'm sure everyone had at least one friend who would burn CDs for them. The scene really hasn't been the same since TPB got taken down.
Plus, with streaming services like Spotify there's almost no need for music pirating. I'm happy to pay for a monthly subscription to listen to almost any song I could want.

It seems you are possibly discussing piracy or piracy-related topics. Although this is neither against reddit's rules nor our own, it's important to remember to be responsible. Content creators can only create said content because they receive funding from you.
Piracy is an important freedom in our sometimes restrictive societies, and it's important to remember these things before you pass judgement on people discussing it:
Some pirate games because they believe the creator doesn't deserve financial compensation for the state of the product that was released.
Some pirate something that they already bought simply to remove the DRM.
Some pirate to re-obtain something they already bought.
Some pirate to try products before they make a financial commitment to them.
Some pirate simply because they cannot afford it.
Some pirate to get something that's no longer available.
Some pirate because their country censors or doesn't import it.
Some pirate games because of timed exclusivity. If they don't have access to it yet, they use piracy as a method to access it before it's available to them.
Lastly, here's a few tips: AdBlock is awesome for hiding fake download links. Deluge is an excellent open-source client that isn't in close cooperation with the MPAA (unlike uTorrent, uninstall it as soon as possible). Oh, and remember: torrenting in itself isn't illegal, and it's definitely not piracy! It's simply a method of transferring files. It's what you transfer that matters.
Also FYI, if you are using Spotify on PC or Android, there is a program called EZBlocker that can block all the ads for you. It works perfectly for me on PC; haven't tried the Android version though.

It goes back even farther.
I was going through a bunch of old floppies (some of mine and my dad's, some that I collected from various sources recently) and I was shocked by how many of them were obviously copied. Apparently it was once common practice to borrow the disks from work to install DOS or Windows, but I actually legitimate sets of DOS 6.22 and WfW 3.11 which I consider the crown jewels of that collection.

I don't know if it's that they "hate piracy" as much as they just know better than to talk about it. I'm sure some of them legitimately prefer to purchase content, but all of them grew up watching people get sued for absurd sums over "file sharing". Openly discussing piracy on a public forum is like posting videos of you and your friends breaking some other law on facebook - it's not a bright move.
Even if you're all about stealing content, you shouldn't want everybody else to do the same. At the end of the day, somebody has to pay content creators, or they'll stop creating content. Let piracy be sketchy, difficult, and kinda wrong. Let the majority be uncomfortable with it, so that the industry can continue to afford to make stuff worth pirating.
Probably because people realized that if they pay for something they really like, they support the creators and they maybe get the chance to make more content they like

It really is silly. When I was young I pirated tons of music and games that i wasn't going to buy regardless because i was broke. Now that I have a big boy job I can easily afford Spotify and buying the games myself which I do now.
It's a win win because artists get brand awareness and distribution to people who weren't going to give them money regardless. All content creators have to do is make their product convenient and people will happily pay.
It's a win win because artists get brand awareness and distribution to people who weren't going to give them money regardless.
That might be true to some extent, even if paying in exposure isn't super popular, but many don't realize how much piracy devalues work of people who are providing better value.
Maybe because they know piracy is thievery and they would rather that the seller of the product be properly compensated for their time and effort? Yeah, those lousy kids.
These are the same kids that would happily watch the same movie on a sketchy free streaming service. Theyโre not above stealing content, just downloading it for some reason.
Streaming is easier. These kids are growing up in a world where for $20/month you have a few streaming combinations that mean everything is instant on demand. Want to listen to something, open Spotify. Want to watch something, open Netflix.
Now, I do fall in a gray area, where say a game I want is expensive (aren't they all?) and I'm not convinced to spend $XX to buy it. I may then choose to obtain a version that is not legit - should I love it, I'll buy it for the continued pleasure and updates/DLC/whatever - but if I don't, no harm done.
I feel that while devs deserve payment for their work, not all of them deserve a premium price for their half-assed money grab game.
In conclusion, piracy is a wonderful thing, some people feel different and that's fine, but I know I have a fatter wallet and spend less on shit I'll never use than the average bear.
Because emulators aren't the code used on the actual machines. They are coded from scratch to "emulate" them. ROMS are actually the games, so they are literally stolen content.
Not everyone who sails a ship is a pirate, but all pirates sail ships.

Emulators (at least older ones) are just mimicking a processor. So for instance, NES is a modified version of 6502 ASM. Apple II uses 6502, so NES games are not very different than old computer programs. They have custom headers and some specialized opcodes, but aside from that it's pretty similar.
The process of reverse engineering a processor could get into a legal gray area, but the code produced with that information is perfectly legal.
Roms on the other hand are exact copies of programs which are protected by copyright.
Edit: similar example, a VM program essentially emulates for instance, an x86 architecture. That's fine, but when you download a copy of windows to run on it, the copy of windows is illegal unless you purchased it.

Emulators are actually established as legal by case law. There's a rather good episode of Gaming Historian that covers this. The TL;DR, however, is that two different companies created emulators for the PlayStation and put them on sale at retail. This was back in '99 when the PS was still a current-generation console. The idea being that you could buy the emulator software and run current games on your PC instead of a console. Sony sued them both and lost.
While there was almost certainly some grey-market "'not for piracy' wink-wink" going on it's also a pretty damn good value proposition for PC gamers. If I could get a high quality PS4 emulator that would run games on my PC, it would be very useful to play some of the exclusives out there that I have an interest in without having to buy into the hardware. It's the game I'm interested in, not the console itself.
Reminder that the rules only say you can't link piracy or request it. So, saying cool roms is a website to download your old games that you own physically onto your pc, is in no way facilitating piracy. Please do not abuse, if you do not own a game do not download it from that website. However if you do own say, sonic 1 2 and 3 on genesis but you lost your genesis cables and controllers, feel free to go download those specific roms and an emulator and go relive your childhood.
While it doesn't list them as "the best". http://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Main_Page gives recommendations and a bit of extra info so you can decide on your favorite. It should be pretty much up-to-date.
Yeah I edit pages there, and I'm often surprised to find that the page has already been updated even though the update has only been made less than a day ago.

The ones I know and work best (no links I'm on mobile):
Wii + GameCube: Dolphin (idk why he has two separate emulators)
Specifically NetPlay for SSBM: Faster Melee
DS: DeSmuME (no$GBA is also one but I have graphic problems on it)
GBA and GBC: VisualBoyAdvance
Wii U: Cemu (BotW can run, but a good CPU getting up to 4.0GHz, 16 RAM, and a modern GPU is recommended. BSoD Gaming is a YT channel with great tutorials and other help with Cemu and even some other emulators like RPCS3)
N64: Project 64
NES: Mesen
Those are the emulators I have. Sorry if you wanted something that isn't Nintendo lol but they're not hard to find.
PS3: RPCS3 (I haven't played so idk the quality)
3DS: Citra (not all games work, I haven't played much because Shadows of Valentia did not work)
Mobile Emulator:
iOS: lol good luck
Android GBA: My Boy (free and $5)
GBC: My OldBoy (free and $4)
Idk any others. There's apparently a creator named John Emulators that may have more, but I don't know the quality
VisualBoyAdvance is ancient. VisualBoyAdvance-M is more recent fork of it (for some strange reason it has always been hard to find the download link for it).
The newest (and best?) is mGBA. Though I think it is more aimed for GBA and not so much for GB/GBC.
The Emulator Zone site has listed and downloads for almost every emulator for any platform. Too bad it hasn't been updated for the last 6-7 months to the latest versions but you can still find the names and google them for the official sites.
Instead of installing a ton of emulators, I just bought a raspberry pi and installed retropie, which has almost all of them and a great GUI. More info here.

You're telling me there's a large, competitive community out there waiting with baited breath over a Xbox Emulator so that they Halo CE and Halo 2? Lol okay sure.
This is the biggest competitive Halo 1 event in the world. $3300 prize pool and previous years got over $5000. We still play on OG Xboxes at these events. PC is inferior unfortunately. Gearbox screwed up so many things. Some of us are trying to mod PC but the netcode was built for 56k connections so its incredibly inconsistent.
Go to www.halobugs.com if you don't believe me that PC and MCC are buggy for Halo 1.
And I've actually commissioned JayFoxRox of the xqemu project to work on a Halo CE specific emulator and we're paying him for it. Ask him if you don't believe me (he's on reddit).

But Halo 1 and 2 exist on PC. The original versions. If you want to play them with a "classic" experience you can right now.
Aside from you apparently, I don't think any Halo 1 or 2 fans are holding out to play an emulated version of the game instead of just playing the PC version.
Lmao you're talking about mods and unsupported versions. But okay! And never said I was talking about emulation specifically...a simple mod that emulated the classic experience popped up a few months ago and people went nuts so obviously I'm not wrong...

You have completely lost me. You say you want classic Halo, not a remake. Halo 1 and 2 were officially released by Microsoft for PC, I'm not talking about mods. I am talking about official versions made for PC.
I don't know how you could not consider the original game to be classic.
They no longer support them lol... And They don't work as they originally did by a long shot...Also Halo 1 and CE were VERY different as were Halo 2 and Halo 2 Vista...

The slight modifications still make it hard. The GPU is a modified GeForce 3 with GeForce 4 features, but not a GeForce 4. It also uses a complete custom kernal. It also uses a modded version of directx, where it behaves like opengl but isn't opengl. All of these factors plus the lack of exclusives (as stated by another person) makes the Xbox not very worthwhile to emulate.
For anyone that wishes to give this a spin, I've spent the past few months setting up a dedicated emulator HTPC combining nearly all consoles and their libraries into a single machine. Heres what I can tell you from trial, error, and spending money on a problem:
Xbox One controller is the best all around controller for almost all of them. Ive tried 8bitdo offerings, retrolink, DS3 and 4, Steam Controller, the Xbone Controller just works. Unless you invest in a Bliss Box and get the authentic controllers, the Xbone is the closest you'll get to a good all around tool.
If you don't mind having a wired controller, the Sega Saturn model 2 and Hori Fighting Commander gamepads will make every console up to the aforementioned Saturn amazing. Six Buttons, D-Pad, and two shoulder bumpers for every consoles needs. Worth spending the 30 odd dollars just for that good layout and feel.
Mayflash Dolphin Bar is amazing, and allows you to use the Wiimote/Nunchuck combo by simply setting Real Wiimote in Dolphin. Plug and Play, works amazing. They fixed the LED burn out issue you might see talked about as well awhile back. Worth 20 dollars every day.
Mayflash Gamecube to PC converter is worth it. The only emulators the Xbox controller seems to struggle is the N64 and Gamecube. Doable, but you will definitely need an adjustment period and mis-hit C buttons all the time with the right stick. It's just a good investment.
A lot of emulators rely on OpenGL, and take advantage of the multithreaded hacks that Nvidia uses. Because AMD keeps the Radeon cards in compliance with the standard, the cards seriously lag behind. An example: my 1030GT gets better FPS in CEMU then my RX 480. Vulkan support is still in an early stage, and DirectX tends to cause some graphical issues that aren't present with OpenGL. Save yourself the headache and get a Nvidia card for emulation.
You'll read the GPU doesn't matter so much as the CPU, and that's partially true. A 750 Ti will run anything you throw at it, however if you want to upscale the resolution to 2k/4k/8k you'll need exponentially more VRAM. My 770GTX 2GB chokes on a lot of newer console emulators, causing FPS drops and sound distortion while the 8GB on my GTX 1080 allows smooth frames. With 4GB cards being so available on the used market and in the wild, do yourself a favor and get AT LEAST a GTX 960 4GB. If you only want to run old school stuff like the NES, just use a Pi.
Single Core is King. Some emulators will take advantage of multiple threads, but even in that situation the IPC of each core is vastly more important then thread count. The age of the console is also not relative to the specs needed to run it's emulator. For example, Higan is an SNES emulator that sometimes chokes on my i5-3570. Trying to use the Angrylion plugin for the Nintendo 64 will decimate a processor that might be running even CEMU fine. The faster the processor, in BOTH frequency and IPC, the better.
Ivy Bridge will run most anything thrown at it, an R5 1600 overclocked to 4GHz will experience SOME dips sometimes but run most anything you give it full speed. For full on non-stop capped frame rates in everything, you'll need a Skylake and above overclocked to 4.5Ghz+. The vast majority of emulators can run on a toaster, but if you want to hit up the Dreamcast, Wii U, PS2, PS3, 3DS, etc, you'll need to brute force some games to get max frames with pure processing power. For most however, an older Sandy/Ivy or a cheap Ryzen will handle anything they want.
Hope this helps some people out there become inspired to try their hand at emulation. It's simply amazing how far devs have come, and even more amazing to see every console you used to drool over as a kid sitting all together on a single machine. Nothing quite like firing up some 3DO to jump to Sega CD, then sit back with some Turbografx-16 before booting up a PS2 game. It's the very essence of PC Master Race.
If anyone has any questions, hit me up. This has become something like a fun new hobby to add to the PC itself.
I've encountered this when using a regular bluetooth adapter, as it is not quite the same stack that the wiimote is tuned for apparently. No issues at all I've had using the Dolphin Bar.
The D-Pad is just awful. Steam Controller is designed for modern 3D games, and replaces a mouse and keyboard quite adequately. For old 2D and pseudo-3D games on consoles, its D-Pad and touchpad are very frustrating to use. It makes a great replacement for a wiimote though.
You won't get the retro feel, but it has what you need. Native windows support, support for all emulators, good clicky D-Pad, two thumbsticks, shoulder bumpers, analog triggers, 4 button placement. It's just the perfect all in one controller. Nothing will be like using the actual controllers but the Xbone just saves a time, headache, and money.
It works pretty well from my memory, most games work as intended, albeit some weird controls here and there, although im pretty sure you can get mouse + keyboard support through some 3rd party sites (eg, the one for Goldeneye)
1964 is the name of the modded version of Project64 I use that was designed for GoldenEye and Perfect Dark. I love playing them with mouse and keyboard controls.

N64 emulation is still unfortunately very behind. The most popular games are hard coded to work, but this is at the cost of accuracy and performance. And the less popular games are a crapshoot as to whether they work. You would think a system with only like 200 games would have better compatibility in the emulators, but I guess not
Works good for most games and has online support. Some require special patches (pokemon stadium i believe) though but they are available.

Project64 was solid when I was using it over a decade ago. There were absolutely some parts of games that didn't render properly but the very few games were unplayable and most didn't have any noticeable issues.

No, it works really well. Runs games beautifully, which is something you wouldn't expect from a N64 emulator.
For Mac users, nothing tops Open Emu. I have a Mac mini set up on my tv and paired with a Bluetooth Xbox controller. Best emulator experience Iโve had by far
Itโs fantastic and Iโm surprised there isnโt really a PC equivalent yet.

Yeah the UI is gorgeous, the thumbnails for the save states is awesome, just an all-around great app. Can't stress how amazing it is having all your emulators in one place.
There is and has been for a long time: LaunchBox. If you get the premium version you can also run it in BigBox Mode which is extremely useful if you build your own arcade cab. There are many themes for BigBox mode so you can customize how it looks.

Damn itโs Mac only? Love that app, just built a PC and was planning on getting that installed.
RetroPie is fun, but master race it is not. It doesn't have the horsepower to run all PS1 or N64 games without issues. It has latency problems. It doesn't even have the horsepower to run NES games with the good shaders.
It's a fun little hobby, but it is not even close to the best way to emulate games.
Yes, after original hardware and an actual PC (which is what this thread and subreddit is about) it's a good option. I own one and I use it. But the 3rd best option, at best, is hardly master race. It's the console of emulation, for the reasons I stated above.
For Ps2 emulation I recommend at least 4 physical cores and preferably hyper threaded. On my non HT dual core I get 30-60 fps in calm areas, but lots of enemies on screen lags it all to hell.
mirh ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 17:00:20 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
FFS even a core 2 duo is enough for most games, if you use hardware renderer.
Ps2 games almost all work amazing. Besides raising the graphics so it looks better you will have to change one or 2 specific settings for most game. Kingdom hearts for example the text looks bad unless you change something for that. 3d platformers such as jak and Daxter or ratchet and clank don't work as well as I would like on it.
You could check on the website, it lists what games work and to what degree. In my small amount of experience using that emulator most games work well but a lot of those games you have to tweak the settings a little.
I wasn't interested in that game from the quick time events being core to the combat. But I also have gamers thumb so it can cause me pain easily to have to button mash.

They're both damn near perfect. There might be some odd game out there with issues but the major titles work great.
even better: you can get almost all these emulators on a PSP. just buy a big ass sd card and you can have most of the history of console gaming fit in your pocket
Just finished doing that last night. Now I need to know what games i should get. All I downloaded was the Crash games, I never owned any of the others growing up.
you can get basically every game ever made for the NES, SNES, GB, GBA, master system and mega drive and they take up barely any space. for generations from the playstation era onwards you probably need to be a little more picky since the file sizes start getting pretty big once consoles started using CDs
I did this week too! Itโs amazing! I left a longer comment about it above, but, yeah, basically every game you could ever remember in the palm of your hand. I actually modded a PSP Go so itโs even more portable -- like an old flip phone from the โ00s.
If you Google around, you can find zips for PSP with prepackaged emulators and games.
The only reason they exist is to push one console or the other.
What's the difference between playing Bloodborne on my PS4 Pro as opposed to my PC? Well, because the PS4 Pro is so much less powerful than my PC, I'm locked [sub-]60 framerates with sub-par graphics, for no reason other than Sony's exclusive deals. I'd much rather play Bloodborne on my PC, with powerful hardware that can push 144 frames at maxed settings so that my character's animations aren't slideshow choppy. I'd like to play on Steam where my friends are, and communicate with them on our Discord, Skype, or Teamspeak groups, all of which have better features and quality than PSN, AND are free. Oh, and I don't have to pay a monthly subscription just to use the internet, and I can use any program I want on my second screen while playing the game..
If there are exclusive games I really like on different platforms, I have no choice but to buy multiple consoles.
Another effect is that it divides the playerbase, it reduces the potential to share your experience with other people because they own a different platform. It also limits some really great games from being appreciated by the general public because they are locked on an unpopular console.
The game would've sold MUCH more (profit to fromsoftware) than what Sony paid them for the exclusivity. That's why Bloodborne 2 will probably not happen.
Sony also kinda lost money in the game, and made up selling a bunch of consomes, which is just an strategic move.
Counter devil's advocate, if we dump all consumers from other platforms to one platform...
--love ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 15:53:28 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
Let me just say, the majority of your points are explaining how a console exclusive game like Bloodborne would be benefitted if it came on PC. And nobody is denying that all these benefits would exist (what would I not give to be able to play Bloodborne in 60 FPS lol); but realistically what would instead happen is that Bloodborne wouldn't exist in it's present state of quality in the first place.
So basically what you're advocating for is that no consumer gets to play the game, instead of some consumers (the ones who own a PS4) getting to play the game.
I fail to see how this is in any way pro-consumer.
Let me use another highly regarded PS4 exclusive, God of War, to illustrate this.
Games like God of War are designed as console exclusives right from the get go. The game simply wouldn't exist in it's present form if it was multiplatform. I'm talking about the quality and the budget required for that quality here (obviously the name "God of War" could still be slapped on). Continuing with this specific example, it is likely that a pitch for a complete redesign with an entirely new setting and a more grounded and mature approach to storytelling won't be entertained by any publisher. You would also be sorely disappointed if you expected this to be a singleplayer and completely MTX-free experience as a multiplatform game.
Not having to worry about funding and popularity also encourages the studio to take bigger risks, and spend more time, care and attention on the game itself. That's what makes them more than just great games. That's why, with multiplatform developers like Rockstar, Bethesda and CDPR being the rare exceptions, most of the recent 90+ games are console exclusives.
The entire SoulsBorne series wouldn't have seen the light of day if it wasn't for Sony's tendency to welcome quirky and niche projects (Demon's Souls, Shadow of The Colossus, The Last Guardian, etc.) and support them. A game like Demon's Souls has no place in a mainstream publisher like EA or Activision's GaaS money-machine philosophy (Anthem, etc.). The drastic graphical upgrade that was seen in Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3 (compared to 1 and 2) was also a consequence of the upgraded engine that Sony paid for.
For all these reasons, many of the best games ever made, ranging from Ocarina of Time to God of War and Bloodborne, are exclusives.
If no one else has answered reasonably. it's because the games were built around that specific hardware for the most part. Which is why even on the consoles themselves when there is backwards compatibility, it is for very specific games, depended on how the games were programed.
Isn't Windows just a os like Linux? Why do we still need to buy that expensive spyware?
Source code isn't public, so everything has to be reverse engineered, which gets complicated when the hardware was designed to make tampering hard. Especially considering that consoles are pretty powerful compared to normal PCs, so any emulation software has to be well optimised.
I don't think the analogy works because Xbox actually runs its own version of Windows, especially current gen. I think its why there are less exclusives lately on that side
[deleted] ยท 6 points ยท Posted at 12:34:42 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
It does because they haven't released the source code for either and they don't want the OS on xbox to be compatible with PC windows.
It's not perfect. Have a better one? Consoles use undocumented components for which the games are specifically coded for.
In order to find out what any given instruction really does you'd have to find a way to watch the results on the actual hardware. This is hard since even hacking the console proves to be difficult
as someone who has been a primary PC gamer for the last 6 years, what would linux do for me? i simply game,surf the web, and use gaming peripherals like controllers and such never used linux at all just very curious as to what am i missing out on.
As someone that has used all types of os's, you really aren't missing much. Linux has much more security than windows and you can change anything you want to with it. But for most people Windows is fine, especially when you are a PC gamer.
I like Linux, but I don't want to have to find workarounds just to play some games.
On all the issues that arise when you try to run a modern DirectX game using wine.
Apart from that a free Linux distro can pretty much replace your windows system. Free means it doesn't cost money and you don't have as many limitations on what you can do with it imposed on you.
Actually I'm guilty of using Windows myself. Right now you can't get around that if you want your games to perform well. I'm afraid of the day I've become so accustom to Windows that I'm unable to do the switch.
What... the actual fuck did you just try to say? I know you tried because I see words but that makes no sense.... are you drunk? Go home... your drunk.

Normal people donโt own basic desktops any more lol everyone buys laptops unless theyโre building a gaming pc. The argument that you can just buy a graphics card is useless for almost everyone.
If you disagree with me youโre very out of touch with reality.
Yeah, this entirely. A lot of people either have a laptop or use a tablet/smartphone for 'light gaming', so if they want to step in to actual gaming (i.e not mobile games) then they have to either buy a console from scratch or buy a PC from scratch. Also how many people have a shitty desktop laying around without a GPU and feel confident enough to buy and install one? I mean yeah it's easy but it's not exactly common knowledge.

This community vastly underestimates the amount of people who are absolutely content with spending $200 on an Xbox one s and just playing overwatch or something like that year round
I didnt mention anything about price. You just said that consoles are more powerful than PC. Which is factually incorrect. It sounds like you have a shit PC
Sorry for bringing up price. Frankly just wanted to see the bot
You are misrepresenting me my dear friend. I never claimed that console are better, I merely implied the performance of PS4/Xbone relative to PCs makes them harder to emulate than a Gameboy.
While my PC can be considered suboptimal for gaming this doesn't make it a shitty computing device.
Use the USB helper. It makes doing EVERYTHING with CEMU 100% easier. It has a list of all available games, thier working state, and downloads for all of them.
Check this out if you're interested in getting a shit-ton of emulators and games in packs. He adds to them on a regular bases with new systems and ROMs. His setup uses Launchbox + Rocketlauncher to make it all look nice and simple to use. The Discord in the description takes you to his server where people there will help if you need it. Very simple to get going though.
One word of warning, if you want it all you will need a LOT of spare disc space. you can pick and choose what you want but you'll prolly want it all in the end.
It's all FREE, he said he'd rather not do it than charge. Can't argue with that.

Emulation is 100% legal, even if it's a current console (for example, emulating the switch right now if the emulator was ready would be perfectly fine).
For anyone interested in emulating a lot of different consoles I would strongly recommend RetroArch. It's surprisingly easy to set up and you can run all of those emulators you see above in one program with very little setup. I also use another program to import the ROMs to my steam library so I can launch them from there as I would any other game.
God this just reminds me we had a shot at having an xbox emulator till some dude who had no idea what he had pulled the guts out of a testers rig for a pc case.
Make sure you have a LOT of disc space though, especially if you want it all. You can pick and choose of course, but it's very addictive, you'll find yourself wanting it all in the end.
Hell yeah, show this picture whenever someone post playing switch on an airplane. Console gamers got excited when an old game is re-released, but we can play these games all the time.
I remember when my little brother peed inside my original Nintendo and tried to blame it on the dog. He eventually admitted it but still feel bad for the dog getting yelled at
Check out Colpipes. His Discord with links is in the description. You just download it and run it. Full set up of loads of systems + games and he's adding on to it all the time. The people on the Discord server will help you out too if you get stuck.
I'm just starting with the emulators. What's the last Nintendo console that doesn't have an analog stick on its gamepad? I'm still with an old school Logitech Precision gamepad.
There is, you havenโt heard or seen anything about Citra yet? Itโs got great game compatibility, but unfortunately youโll need a really beefy PC to run it and the games you want properly. You can check their Wiki, FAQ, and Compatibility pages on the site above, and itโs pretty regularly updated since itโs open-source.
How have i never seen that before? Most of the things that come up when I have been looking in the past were these dodge links where they ask you to do a survey before download and I would obviously just avoid those like the plague. Thanks so much!

If you do decide to download PCSX2, I would recommend downloading the most recent version from the buildbot site rather than the downloading from official site. Official site has 1.4.0 download which is about 2 years old, and there has been A LOT of improvements since then.
That list is BS though. It's like they played a game for 5 minutes and gave it a pass. Games like TimeSplitters Future Perfect are 100% unplayable due to camera switching issues but are often marked as playable on that list.
Last entry was about two months ago. It's generally tested by one person just for directly completing the game but you can find other entries on the wiki.
Yeah those graphical glitches sound about right, the problem is one occurs when you have to use a second camera in game to control an object, if you're playing solo it's literally impossible because the second camera doesn't render anything recognizable.

Pretty decent (couple years ago last I tried). i5 (two generations ago) 8 gigs ram, 950 2gig. It wasnt running at 60fos, but it was more tham playable.
I played the God of War games pretty much with minimal problems. I havent tried anything else since most of the games I wanted a PS for had already been ported to PC. Just tweak thensettings, and you should be good.
Most emulators have varying success with different games, most of the creators should have a compatibility list to show progress on certain games though.
Nope and none are going to be stable enough for a while (I don't think any are being worked on though). There is some current work on the PS3 though at: RPCS3.

depends what you mean by 'properly' you can do native resolution on an old i5 (2500) with an old gforce card. (560) (and you probably don't even need that)
Best bet is to check the PCSX2 Wiki for the game you want to play and see what people recommend.
Lol what I played plenty of budokai tenkachi 3 a while back you don't need a monster pc. It's just that some games don't really work sadly. I tried jak and daxter and it looked awfull so bad.. rachet and clank is a fucked up textures simulator.

One setup that's actually kind of useful is running a Macintosh emulator within an Amiga emulator. It was said for a while that the Amiga was the fastest 68k Mac, because while Apple stopped the 68k line at the 68040, there were late and aftermarket Amiga expansions that sported a 68060.

since I was a child in the 90's I thought why no one ever made a console that played them all (since someone told me Saturn and PS1 couldn't run the same games even thought both used CDs, I was 8)

Emulators are perfectly legal as you can see below, big companies can not take them down because the law sides with them although they can hinder their operations for a little while.
Downloading the games/DLCs/BIOS files is not legal.
However chances are you can download whatever you want since emulators focus on old games and chances are, the companies that made them do not even exist, never mind having a legal team on the look out for pirates.
You can PM me and I will hook you up with some trusted sites if you want, or you can search yourself since they are not hard to find.

No love for the 3DO. Yes most of its games were ported to Windows, but it still had some of the better versions of those ports.
Road Rash, Starfighter, and Star Control 2 immediately come to mind. (Though Star Control 2 was eventually open sourced and re-ported to various systems as The Ur-Quan Masters)
This is why I appreciate PC gaming even more. Youโre able to emulate classic consoles without having to try and find a old console for sale. You can just load up the software and start reliving the memories again.

I'm a bot working hard to help Redditors find related videos to watch. I'll keep this updated as long as I can.
Don't forget something important that , for some weird reason, it's always ignored: better graphics and ONLINE. I love Mario kart 64 , and thanks to emulators, right now is the only way to play it with a friend from a different city. Just beautiful .
Though I love gaming on my PC, I much rather boot up an actual console than using an emulator. It's starting to take up quite a lot of space though, one fairly big gaming PC, one retro PC (Windows 98 SE that was built by my great-uncle and belonged to my grandpa) and like a billion consoles.
PCSX-Reloaded is what i'd recommend. It's the only one I've tried that doesn't completely shit the bed when I try to run games at a higher resolution, and in general it's the best one as far as compatibility. I've also heard very good things about Mednafen (which can also do Saturn pretty well from what I hear), but I've never been able to get it to work in any of it's forms.

Itโs funny because a lot of my SNES and NES gaming memories are on Windows 98 running on these emulators. When my GBA broke, my dad downloaded GBA and GBC emulators from his office and Iโve played Pokรฉmon Gold on it beating the elite 4 hundreds of times until all my Pokรฉmon were level 99. Then when my cousin was done playing FF8 he gave the discs to me and played it on the PS1 emulator, at that point I was like โwhy do I even need a console if I can play games and work on my homework with a PC?โ Now I donโt even have a PC although planning on building one soon.

I was just about to put Dolphin on my laptop, but I chickened out because I was worried my laptop wouldn't handle the games. I might try it anyway. I wish I had a good pc. I'd really like one to do renderings on.
So now I'm interested in emulators because I want to play some sweet console games, but without the hassle of getting my old consoles to work. Mostly interested in the Playstation stuff
I have a few questions.
1. Is it easy to configure?
2. How do you get games?
3. Is there something that I need to know that I didn't ask?
Thanks in advance for all the help.

usually they aren't too hard to configure but don't work point and click. find an emulator you like and watch a youtube video or two.
you are going to have to poke around to find the games, as they usually fall in a pretty grey area legally, with the shade of grey being towards illegal. technically it's legal to own a ripped copy of a game, but only if you physically own the original cd/dvd of the game. you can find the files, I'd start by looking at torrent sites via a vpn.
you need to know that there are some sketchy sites out there dealing with the games bc of their sort of legal nature. check anything you download for viruses/malware etc.

Quick question:
How do you get the wii-motes to work on the computer. And if you can't connect the wii-motes to the computer directly, how do you work the Wii motion controls in the emulator?
Youtube your question, its easy to setup. Ize at work and cannot see the name of the program but its as simple as getting bluetooth, and that little light bar, and syncing it up. The program is like any other emulator controller setup. They also make scripts, so to use a wii balance board as gas pedals, or use wiimote as a mouse, though not perfect. And works just as well with tracking.

Bluetooth or easier is there is a special lightbar that plugs in for usb specifically for pc that also gives bluetooth for it if you dont already have it. I have it but stopped using it, have it stored around somewhere.

I use PPSSPP, Dolphin and PCSX-R and PCSX2, I can't do all PS2 games but around 40 if my favorites. Wii and Gamecube games run really well (Wii games that use controller that is) and PSP games are some of the easiest to emulate load wise.
Arguably the best time to be alive for emulation was 97/98; you could literally play titles that were released a few years before, and play all the non 3d arcade games out there.
I was able to play all the Dragonball Z console games that were never released in America right when Dragonball Z premiered on Toonami.
I really want to play Medal of Honor frontline and rising sun again... but I really really want to play Medal of Honor Allied Assault the war chest, that was the absolute best, PC only spent hours upon hours every weekend night playing the online multiplayer as a kid.
Best weapon ever lol. Didnโt like it when they had the modded servers that made it semi auto. And yes Stalingrad was like playing shipment in cod4 nowadays.

Launch Box is awesome if you use emulators like that. I've got somewhere around 30,000 ROMs not even counting the MAME set, going through them all would have been hell without LB. It's such a good program and despite it not being open source I really like the company.
Ghozer ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 16:33:13 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
The official Launchbox YT channel has videos showing you how to set up emulator in LB. Launchbox is a front end for all your emulators, showing the games in for each, downloading the box art, videos, music to make it all look nice. It also has a BigBox mode for a fee (normal program is free) that you can use on the TV with a controller. It's superb.
For some reason, the Xbox series never got decent emulators. PS3 has one in the works and is doing well. I've heard of a PS4 one but don't expect much for a while, that's a hefty system to emulate on current computers.

For retro stuff ...welp, the scalpers will be real happy while the Developers of Studios that don't even exist anymore don't see a penny for it anyway.
(overpriced NES/SNES mini consoles are just the tip of the iceberg)
If you want to support retro gaming, there are better ways.
Support the emulator developers via Patreon/PayPal, buy those retro gamepads that pop up everywhere, buy licenses for Emu Movies or Frontends like Hyperspin and/or LaunchBox etc.
it really isn't the same though. But a great resource for trying out obscure or rare games, playing homebrews, or fan translations of foreign games that were never localized
there are no PS4 emulators... those are SCAMS! (very well crafted scams at that)
PS3 emulator does exist, but is still very much in early development (it runs some commercial games, but you should check the compatibility list before you bother to ...source ...any ISOs for it.)
PSA: please don't bother searching for PS4 Emulators, nothing exists for PS4 yet, google does spit out results of (very well crafted) SCAM websites with FAKE emulator .exe files that will bombard you with surveys (they've gone as far as creating fake youtube videos and buying upvotes and fake comments to scam people)... just don't.
Anyone know a good PS2 emulator? I tried the PCSX thing but it was slow and choppy. It's definitely not my system seeing as I have a 1070 16 DDR4 and I7 8700k. Trying to play 24
I played through nearly 200 hours of breath of the wild on my PC using a ps4 controller wirelessly with full motion controls. The future is now my friends.
Does anyone have a good PS2 emulator that actually works? There has been a game I've wanted to get some good old n o s t a l g i a from ever since my PS2 broke.
I've never tried getting an emulator to run on my pc. In trying to play the legacy of kain series and unfortunately the steam and gog versions aren't running well. Is it safe for my pc to emulate. How would I even start?
Can I ask what all the emulators used on this actually are? I'd like to look them up. I haven't used many emulators since zSNES and Nesticle lmao

Just use RetroArch, it's one launcher with a PS3-styled homescreen that lets you download emulator cores within itself as small dll files, as well as cover art collections that are automatically integrated for compatible ROMs.
For example, you close a NES game, it takes you back to the home screen, you can instantly launch a PS1 game, or any other console, and it configures your controller natively.
If there's a choice, you typically want "hardware" cores rather than "accurate" cores for the best performance.
Oh and it has support for achievements through the retro achievements website.
The only thing it doesn't support is stuff like the Wii U and PS2, you want cemu and pcsx2 for those.
Ok does anyone here have experience emulating Ps2 without unplayable speed penalties? I have a decent laptop but I just don't think my boy is up to the task. Pretty much every game runs at 80 percent speed at best :( I understand though it's really hard on one processor to be doing all the work a Ps2 does with several processors.
How does hanheld work? Do you have peripherals or can I keyboard and mouse it?
I've always wanted to have Chrono Cross and Kingdom Hearts on my PC. Are emulators hard to get setup? Is there a preferred program over all the rest, emulator download resource, etc?
What would be cool is if there were PC cases that looked more like you'd expect for a console that we could put together. I haven't found a good source.
How do you deal with game saves in an emulator? I just got into it and the N64 games come up saying no controller pack enabled and the saves are disabled.
In all likelihood, there are settings in the emulator you need to enable to turn on controller pack functionality. In addition, most emulators use save states which basically captures a snapshot of your game's status at the point in time in which you trigger it.
Sorry if this was answered , I looked for it but didnโt see, how do I get these pics so I can change my emulators to that?!

How did he get them so neat and to have those icons? I have a ps2 emulator and a DS emulator and they put a bunch of garbage on my desktop and they don't have the icons.
My PC is hooked up to our main TV with tons of games and all the emulators me or the kids would want. We still turn on the WiiU when we want to play and old Nintendo game. It's funny because the gamecube looks so much better on Dolphin emulator than it does on the WiiU but that's where we play it.

I want those icons!!
I've been emulating since NESticle's Days back in the late 90's. I also vividly remember downloading MAME ROMs from mame.dk when it was a thing. Thinking back like I am now, it always makes me chuckle when I hear Console players swoon about Morrowind and Republic Commando when they see them upscaled for the first time.
LOL the Emulation crowd has been archiving files digitally and playing with bells and whistles for years!!
I remember being in middle school (probably around 7th grade) and I had a PSP that I had custom firmware installed on. I had a ton of homebrew (anyone remember DarK_AleX?). I eventually programmed my first "Hello World" homebrew and remembered how satisfying it felt...
Then I found a Super Nintendo emulator and played Super Mario World for the first time since I was a little kid...That shit BLEW my mind.
All of it's real. For Wii and Gamecube, Dolphin is the best. For PS2, PCSX2 is the best. There's tons of good ones for NES, SNES, and Genesis. For N64, there's Project 64. I haven't used emulators for the rest, but there's easy to find.
Yeah there's a lot you can do to make it run better. It's been a while since I've used it, although I believe there are threads on their website about how to optimize settings
I use higan personally, since it does NES, SNES and all the GameBoys (need a bios for gba tho). For those who aren't as confident I've heard snes9x is good too

Damn, there are people out there who actually don't use emulators? I've taken them for granted for so long and replay MGS every other two days and I didn't even realise some people don't even have any emulators. Emulators are the sole reason I decided I could cheap out on a laptop. You're really missing out on replaying some great classic hits. They're pretty easy to set up and there's tons of online guides for everything. PM me if you need any help.
I was big into emulators until two things happened:
1) Hard drive crashed, wiping out my emulators and my collection of ROMs.
2) When I went to rebuild my collection, I discovered that rombay had gone permanently offline. That was the only ROM site I trusted. All the rest were filled with bullshit pop-up scare-ware and/or porn ads and I figured I was setting myself up for all kinds of malware surfing those sites. And I wasn't up to sifting through all the garbage in hopes of finding another site as useful and as crap-free as rombay.
if you swap to uBlock Origin in standard mode you'll be getting the same amount of protection (it runs on the same block lists) and has a few more to boot.
It also runs cleaner with a lower per tab memory overhead than ABP.
I know how to use emulators, but don't because I have to either get the ROMs off a shady website or dump them myself. Dumping them needs a custom firmware which is not worth the hassle. I'm just really paranoid about my security.

This says absolutely nothing about emulators having high latency lol. This just describes how latency happens, then says "huhh CRTs are low latency so yeah"
It's not stealing when there is no other way to get the thing, none of the money goes to the creators of the game if it is bought second hand anyway so there is no reason not to do it.

As I said, creating distributing and even selling emulators is perfectly legal (and moral) everywhere in the world.
I do not think Emulation needs to justify anything. Technology is only limited when we artificially restrict availability and usability. It's all just data flowing through circuits in logical paths and there's no use assigning any greater significance beyond this. Do it because you can.
Where you see problems with cheating and piracy, I see freedom. Freedom to run code without those artificial limitations; without being boxed into a proprietary system with a single user experience; to do things with a product without requiring approval from some CEO of a monolith company.

Keep justifying. You donโt own it, you donโt get to reap the benefits.
Get off your high are you cock-snot. Emulation itself is LEGAL, just like a CDROM was legal. What people do with it is what matters. It's like saying MP3 players are glorying stealing because you can put any music you want on it, legal or downloaded. By showing people that emulators exist, doesn't mean he's glorifying stealing at all.

There does not exist any working PS4 emulator. PCSX4 is a scam and you deserve anything coming for you if you believe it and the Orbital emulator is not even worthy of being called an emulator. Just a bunch of basic documentation at best, a start up of a bigger idea at worst.
No PS4 emulation will exist as long as we are in the PS4 life cycle and only Orbital will show some promise once the PS4 is 1-3 years past its life cycle since the dev knows what he is doing.

You can have your own arbitrary time frame if you so wish :p
I'm going to get downvoted to hell, but everyone, please don't get ROMs unless you own the actual game. Emulators are fine but ROMs are Piracy, and companies like Nintendo still profit off of their older games via virtual console, mini consoles, etc.. Pirating their games is directly harming the company.
I don't want to sound like a sticker. I play on emulators too, but it's only for games I already own.

Not true.
You can rip your own games (depending on the system). I rip my own GC and Wii games using CleanRip on my Wii and there are other programs to do that 100% legally.
i dont know. you'd have to check your local laws. But i recall that in new zealand when mp3 players started getting popular they actually had to pass a new law in order to make it legal to make digital copies of CDs that you owned. apparantly this is still the case in the UK. and many videogames treat you buying them as only "leasing a licence to play the game" rather than actually "owning the software"
Out of the emulators I've tried, only four of them have ever worked properly. Dolphin is filled with graphics issues, PCSX2 hasn't run anything has only run one game I've tried on it properly and all of the N64 emulators I've tried can't handle 2D things well at all.
Nestopia has given me no issues at all (although I've only tried three games), VisualBoy worked fine with Minish Cap (haven't tried any others), John GBC worked with the couple of games I played that I couldn't play on my actual Game Boy, and higan is basically perfect in its SNES emulation, but they all have one common problem that's led me into SNES collecting.
Input lag. You won't know what you're missing until you actually play on a real system either connected to a CRT or to a decent monitor through a line doubler like an OSSC. I installed higan again to play a Super Mario World rom hack, and I had so much difficulty doing anything because everything I did was slightly delayed.
I was just wondering. I dont know about ryzen cpu's but the older am3 socket and earlier chips didnt have proper support for ps2 emulation. They were fast enough sure but they didnt have the instruction set support to make it run fast enough to use.
Black Sky / Shattered Car Window Effect is Missing
Status: Active
Type: Minor
Description: Sky is rendered black and car windows don't appear broken after a crash. Workaround: Switch to software mode(F9 button), load an event, and then switch back to hardware mode(F9 button again). The sky will now be blue(although it can appear a bit bugged) until you restart PCSX2. Keep loading events in software mode to avoid to the bugged effects in the sky.
I should have been clearer, a good running PS3. You can't take RPCS3 serious, games run awful. You would need a Cell CPU in a PC to make it run games decently. You can say what you want, but not one consumer PC will run most PS3 games playable any day soon. I wish it could, but unfortunatly not.

Just click on the game go to properties verify the integrity of the files then steam will repair them.
Worth a shot..

My rule is simple: upgrade when you cant play a game.
My 9800gtx+ lasted until Skyrim. So I upgraded to an HD6850
My HD6850 lasted until FO4 so I upgraded to a GTX970.
So far my 970 can run everything. I imagine Cyberpunk2077 is gonna be when 970 will be retired.

The gtx 9800+ could totally play skyrim though?
I used a GTS 250 (Rebranded 9800+) and a Q6600 and it was perfectly playable...
I also went from a GTS 250 to a GTX 1080, waited until I literally could not open games :D

for whatever reason, it would run for an half an hour and crash. got annoying and bethesda tech support wouldnt help b/c skyrim required a card with 512mb of memory and apparently the 9800gtx+ had 498, (it was just a loophole they used to ignore my service ticket).
got the hd 6850 and it ran perfectly

Well, maybe it was the lower memory. My GTS 250 had 1 GB, would explain why it lasted longer.

I doubt it, the marketshare of such GPUs is too widespread to make sense to be so restrictive. 970 is very popular.
I doubt we will ever get another Crysis again, because of consoles and because of lack of focus on optimization like id Software had. We're reaching the limits of silicon and sooner or later if we want progress we have to go back to the roots.

Um ok? I don't know what hardware has to do with anything. Was just saying console games are more expensive, but since you brought it up yes you do. You have to worry about buying completely new hardware every 4ish years. I'm not trying to argue against consoles but that's a silly point. Especially with the current gen where there's a patch every day and every game has day one patches, this ain't the 90s anymore where you just pop in the game and play, it's as if not more convenient to play on pc as it is on consoles now.

Ah, and subjecting to whatever the company wants. Going on your point of stability, months ago there was a glitch on Rainbow Six Siege on PS4 that literally break the game and your console if you try to invite friends. Both Sony and Ubisoft took nearly 2 weeks to fix it and all they did beforehand was pointing fingers as each other. Here we my have glitches,but we are not in some corporate mercy to wait for fixes. If you hate one distribution platform you can go to the competition.

A "PC masterace" worthy pc costs 1200$. A decent, 1080 high, 4k low (30 fps), should run you about 600$ to get the best experience possible at a good budget, and you can cut corners for 400 too. No need to pay for online, and cheaper games outweigh that cost. I personally go for 600-700$ for a good money-value ratio.

Bro you're just putting words in my mouth. When did i say any of that? Consoles are more expensive, especially when it comes to games. Hence why they can't afford to buy hundreds of games they won't play. When you most games are 60 dollars you're more picky about what games you buy

If you want my advice, get an older generation psp (1000-3000 are ideal). They are incredibly easy to find and very cheap and very very easy to softmod, it literally as easy as moving a file from your pc to your psp and running it. Ps1 games natively run on the psp so you can find Ps1 iso's that run on psp very easily (forget what they are called tho)
Psp's are anywhere from 30-80$. I got mine for like 45 online
Only emulation that gets tricky on psp is really n64 and anything beyond that.

Each game is its own story, or a continuation of something else. Playing based on the western titles 1-3 are basic in their stories and graphics
Ff4/6/10/tactics are probably the 4 best stories and characters of the series
Ff 7/9/12 are also 3 fantastic titles of the series with 7 being the title that really popularized final fantasy for us westerners
Skip around play them out of order if you want
frizzykid ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 19:58:28 on June 18, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
7 is a very popular ff game.
I'd say in my terms of popularity, it's 7,8,10,15,9,2,4,5,6,12,13
Ff15 is a good entry point into the series it's just very different in terms of combat from the other games. After ff2 each game adds a little something to combat
Matthiax ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 15:47:23 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
Play the last main title released for each platform, or every third title: FFIII, FFVI, FFIX, FFXII, FXV. Final Fantasy 3 is definitely the least impressive of those, but it was way better than 1 & 2. This gives you a good progression of the series without having to play them all. I don't mention VII because I don't think it holds up to everyone's nostalgia. But play whatever you want, those just kind of give you the gist of the series.

Exactly, and if you play games in a language different than English lots of mods will add or change some strings of texts into English. Whenever I notice that ingame I go into the strings editor (pretty straightforward, auto-translates strings using English and other languages databases) and I also manually translate strings introduced by the mod like weapons/armors/houses/descriptions, correct gramatical mistakes, so that it looks like everything belongs to the game. When I'm done with it it's a satisfying "Oh, that was worh it, now Skyrim is ready to play whenever I want and it will feel so immersive", but I would probably play a couple of hours before leaving it.

You should contact the mod's creator and see if you can contribute those translations back to the project. Then your work won't go to waste even if you never play the game!

I've also done this with Fallout New Vegas and Skyrim. Spends 10 hours downloading and installing mods, then plays for half an hour.

I finally bought Skyrim VR.
Had to research which mods were best for the VR versions. Downloaded a few gigs worth of mods, spent a few hours installing.
Wandered around Whiterun for about 20 minutes then quit.
I guess it's just hard for me to get invested in my character, and also I've played 400 hours of the game back in 2011.

I had quite a suite of emulators once, but some games really don't play well on non-native hardware and it's hard to keep being into it when two or three of your favorite games don't work as well as you want. I always keep DS & Gameboy emulators on my phone though. Gotta have that classic red version for Pokemon

I picked up a PSP Go on eBay recently and modded it up with emulators for NES, SNES, Sega, Sega CD, Game Gear, Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, and N64. (You can find emulator packs with games online that make it easy to install everything with a single zip file.) You can also install PSP ISOs to play those games, too. (Theyโre big files, though, so you canโt install many without a special memory card, and those can get expensive since Sony uses a weird card format.) The mod process takes no time, too. You literally put three folders on the unitโs memory card and launch like you would a game.
Anyway, itโs amazing, and the hardware is perfect for playing games so you donโt run into the playability issues that you would on a phone. I also kept emulators on my phone but never used them since itโs painful to play platformers with touch controls.
Here is a good tutorial for how to install the mod software: https://youtu.be/2dxtCAVbfBQ

This. Very much this. It's not the ps2 era stuff that crashes, it might run at 15 fps but it runs. But trying to emulate the environment for a lot arcade classics is abysmal. I also issues with most N64 emulations

Modding the original Xbox it was for me. Spending hours hot swapping a new hard drive in and loading modded splinter cell saves to softmod the hell out of it with Mame and a huge variety of emulators. Then choosing and loaded which dashboard you wanted, then creating a badass theme for it. Still have it and it still works beautifully today. I always try to use it on every new tv I get, just to see that sweet stretched 640x480 glory. My latest 4k tv required a series of adaptors to get it going this time around.

Oh yeah I also loved building/tweaking things.
In the Metin2 age, when private servers started to appear all around the corner from the Chinese, I remember when i finally got my fingers on the holy Serverfiles to build my own private server. Spend hours to finally make it work and just realized that my PC needs to be constantly On or the server will be off.
Each time I rebooted or turned off my PC, the sever got corrupted and needed to be redone. Which I did for few weeks before I stopped and threw the project away.
The most fun part for me was building it. Fixing things and making it work than actually playing it.

Yeah that's always been my issue, I generally use a wired Xbox 360 controller with Xpadder for a lot of emulated games, but it just doesn't feel as good as on the original console most of the time with games like Super Mario Sunshine, Smash Brothers Melee, Kingdom Hearts, Spyro, etc
If I had for example, a wired PSX/PS2 controller or a wired GC controller (or whatever controller for the corresponding game) it might be better

1) Set up a mini pc tower next to my TV
2) Config and install all of these emulators
3) Create a huge database with all the games from every console.
4) Using a ps2 controller emulator confirm they ask work.
5) turn it all off and forget about it.
6)...profit?

Been doing the same thing myself this weekend when it comes to PS1 games in Retro Arch. I spent a better part of Saturday just toying with CRT shaders while testing a laundry list of games -- some I don't even care to play through but I need to know if they run or not for scientific purposes lol. Just seeing them run at full speed makes me smile and say "I love PC". I keep a notebook of my test results/configs and even shit that didn't work well 3 days ago has been fixed after I updated the core. This is great!
I'm actually playing Castlevania SOTN for the first time after testing it. I had no idea it was this deep gameplay wise. For whatever reason, I just skipped it back in the day. I remember popping it in epsxe about 6 yrs ago and it didn't even run. Now it's perfect. What a timeline this is :)
I was so amped Dolphin runs well I went out and got a GCN adapter for it the day after my initial testing, too. I spent about a week configuring it. I'm blown away by it so much I have zero need for my physical gamecube anymore. It's just deco on my shelf now.

Exactly. Going from Smash melee 1080p 60fps to Mario sunshine to ssx tricky takes 3 very different configurations. I don't want to spend time switching settings every time I switch a game.

to be fair, I've never had to switch up my settings between those 3 games (more or less my top 3 dolphin games, good choice BTW) at a consistent 1440p60. a couple years back maybe but I haven't seen much trouble with dolphin In years
Alkpwn77 ยท -2 points ยท Posted at 17:40:46 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
I'm not sure then. Full screen was always a problem for me, I forget the exact settings because I haven't changed them in a while but one game needed the wide-screen hack off, one needed some sort of shader cache option tweaked, and there was something about disc speed or something like that. I spent several hours one day getting the settings right for each one after having to mess with the settings every time I switched. It also might be different for different pc hardware. Differences in monitor, cpu, gpu, etc might require different settings.

I'm out right now but when I get home later today I'll take some screenshots and post them here. I have tricky running at 1080p 60fps but sometimes the animations before and after races (where they're waving to the crowd or talking shit with other racers) have weird glitches like missing characters or huge orange lines in front of everything. But nothing like that in the actual gameplay. And sometimes the framerate drops to like 20 for 1 to 3 seconds, but only once every 3 or 4 races. And the intro movie and EA sports "big" logo don't render video, only sound. Other than that it runs smoothly and looks great. Nothing game breaking. Still a very fun game.

You can set up different configs for each game withing the same dolphin version.
djpokeboy ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 15:47:15 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
It hasn't. A few games may get broken by the dev team's increasing focus on Accuracy as old hacks and workarounds get removed. But they often fix regressions quickly, and even have a tool to find the exact build which broke the game.
Mr_Prismatic ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 16:43:50 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
There's plenty of replies here already talking about it, but in my case, I had to use one version for Star Fox Adventures, because the releases I had would crash the game on alt-tab. Another release of dolphin to get a widescreen gecko code to work for Paper Mario Thousand Year Door, and many other things like this.
Tweaking things per game is a bit of a chore, and not always required. I stream, so it's worth my time to make sure everything is the best it can be.

As several have pointer out the are per game ini settings that do all the tweaks you might need, and they're automatically loaded when You launch the game.
You don't have to tweak every game before launching, just set up your ini files for the games before you start streaming. You're already doing this with different Dolphin builds anyway, this just lets you use one build and get every game working with whatever tweaks it needs.

While that's most likely true, consider this.
Maybe, OP dumped his Wii's NAND and made it loadable on Dolphin. That means basically his Wii's storage, including OS, entirely is usable in Dolphin. The link could open the home menu of the Wii. Anyway, that's what my wii shortcut does (or used to back when I did more wii emulation stuff).

In addition to all this, you can add the 3DS emulator and the Saturn emulator. There is also some mild progress on the Xbox emulator too (first Xbox, not this generation's Xbox One).
PS3 and 360 emulators are coming along nicely. Oh, and Wii U too.
I heard there's already a Switch emulator that boots into a commercial game, not sure about the progress on that though.

For example, Red Dead Redemption's only current issue on RPCS3 is performance.

michiganrag ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 18:23:17 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
I honestly have the feeling they recompile large parts of 360 games to get them to run on x86, which is why you have to download it and can't run off disk.
Iceman9161 ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 22:54:07 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
Probably. But they must have some simple program that figures it out, as they have a lot of BC games and get them out pretty quick.
michiganrag ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 02:01:43 on June 18, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
Yeah I think they run it through a program that recompiles all the PowerPC instructions for x86, and package it into a VM with the Xbox 360 OS. The graphics instructions I think carry over fairly trivially since both consoles use AMD GPUs. It's also interesting that the few original Xbox games they added BC support for are also playable on Xbox 360, so I think they share a framework for that to emulate the Nvidia graphics routines.

It seemed to me that once optical discs started being used, suddenly there was more complexity to the emulation. The Sega CD emulator I had required BIOS files, as did the PS1 emu and the PS2 emu. I think CEMU requires it too. They were never distributed with the emulator itself if you got it from an "official" source for said emu, and you had to find them yourself. Was never really hard to do, but it was an extra step.

Ripping a piece of software from a storage device it is held into is not illegal. Even if it was DRM protected( doubt it) one could claim that he/she got it online with no idea how it was retrieved in the first place.

Ignorance of the law is not a valid defense against the law. If the proprietary BIOS files are legally protected and not supposed to be copied or distributed (they're not), then possession of those files is also illegal, even if the person in possession of them was not aware of that fact.
I don't care that they're illegal. I just want people to stop lying to themselves and everyone else about it.

Emulators are perfectly legal, you (should in theory) have to rip your own games, etc.
Besides, Sony isn't earning any money on the PS3 anymore, and they shouldn't be - it's all about the PS4 right now for them, so they aren't losing any money with RPCS3.

They want to sell remasters/remakes and ports on the PS4. Emulators, theoretically, cut into those profits. How much that actually translates into lost sales is another matter, but I'm sure Sony would rather emulators not exist - despite the fact that they're legal.
Jammintk ยท 8 points ยท Posted at 15:49:59 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
The way Sony and others can protect their interests in regards to emulation is through BIOS and operating system software. These are copyrighted and you can sometimes find a way around not having the actual BIOS/etc, but distributing it as a part of the emulator is illegal and Sony can file a Cease & Desist. That's part of the reason some emulators are closed source. They're probably using software they shouldn't be to get the emulation to work, so they don't want to open source the project.

I don't get this one. Why does it matter how I get the files if I own license to use it?
Emulators and games for it are ethical if you own license to use them, a.k.a have bought them.

It's not that having the files is illegal for you, it's the distribution side of things that is more concerning. One person isn't a big deal, but if you can hit the distribution of those files, then you can start to make an impact on piracy of older software.

The problem then is how do you ensure that the person downloading the files has the license to use it? Multiplayer games get around this by pairing the game to an account. Single player games don't have as much of a luxury as that, and no one would like having to register an account to play offline games (which has happened)
Another problem is, you have own license to use or license to dissect, understand, manipulate, and redistribute?

If you are using torrents to download games like this, those games are getting shared with other people. Those other people maybe don't own any copy of the game. So suddenly, it's not about you downloading game, it's about the potentially 100s of people who are getting it illegally, with your help.

Multiplatform games performed best on 360 so it's understandable if you mostly played those games. Well it would be a long list if I mentioned all but let's just mention the biggest series
Infamous
Killzone
Ratchet and clank
Resistance
LittleBigPlanet
God of War
Metal Gear Solid 4
Uncharted
Last of Us
Warhawk and starhawk
Motorstorm
The first souls game: Demon Souls
Persona 5
Nier Replicant
And a bunch of Japanese games that I don't know much about.
jonstarks ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 16:51:58 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
I owned about half this list and rented the other half, Persona & Nier never interest me, I recall the PS3 having a lot of B/C tier Japanese games toward the later years. I recall XBLA being huge for MS. I guess if you're not a fan of Halo/Gears/Crackdown/Forza then I can see someone perceiving PS3 having better titles. IMO the only thing that was on level ground with those was MGS4 and The Last of Us, Uncharted 2 was almost there (maybe a bit too long, shooting always looked weird).
According to this list:
https://www.neogaf.com/threads/lets-look-back-at-ps3-and-xbox-360-exclusives.1218723/
PS3 definitely looks like it had more exclusives, it's just they seemed pretty forgettable
Gynther477 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 17:21:40 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
I'm not saying anything about which had better games, but it's a fact that Sony owns more studios than Microsoft and therefore they have more major franchises.
We now see the height of this with MS lacking exclusives while Sony releasing one giga hit after the other. The studios that make these major hits started out with the ps2 or PS3, and now they get 3-5 years development time for each game and it really pays off.
Ms has bought some good studios recently, so hopefully they will catch up

The XBOX One having backwards compatibility whilst the PS4 lacking it probably helps drive the demand too.
While not much in the way of AAA exclusives the 360 had a ton of great Arcade exclusives though which should run pretty well under emulation.

Idk there were some really top notch ps3 exclusives Uncharted, Last of Us, Infamous, God of War 3, MGS4, Demon Souls, LittleBigPlanet, Resistance 2, Killzone 2, Ratchet and Clank, etc
Ps3 had definite quality when it came to exclusives and people enjoyed the choices that came from the variety of games.

The same argument was tossed around back when the console war was hot. The PS3 had more exclusive and much more variety, but that of course meant that on their own, each exclusive sold less than say halo 3 or 4,which everyone who owned and Xbox bought. But when you had the choice between killzone , resistance, ratchet and clank so on and so forth, people pick and choose what game they want more. The 360 also had little to no support from niche Japanese games, which were often exclusive to the PS3 at the time so there is also that

It was a piece of technology that every Japanese game developer shared between eachother if they were a man over 40. Shaking the controller has never given so much feedback as back then, but sadly the technology has been lost.

Depends on if you count things as exclusive as "things that were on X360 and not on PS3" or "things only on X360" because the former includes games that were on PC or later ported to other platforms. Like Left4Dead or Dead Rising.

TLM_A ยท 8 points ยท Posted at 13:16:30 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
RPCS3 is extremely heavy on multithreading, running 10 threads at the same time at the minimum. The fact that the i7 has 8 logical cores helps it a lot. It really depends on the game, but for most cases, if the game is deemed "playable", I'd say the performance on an i5 is acceptable. As long as it's a desktop i5, and as long as it's at least a Haswell. For instance, I'm on my second playthrough of Persona 5 on a Kaby Lake i5, and while it does drop to ~20FPS in some areas, it runs at full 60 in others (which even the actual PS3 couldn't do).

The whole Skylake-X was a shitshow, a scramble from Intel to have something on the market to compete.
And it failed. Even when Intel beat AMD performance wise, AMD offered better power consumption and far better value, not to mention upgradeability.

TLM_A ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 14:58:18 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
No, you can run more than 8 threads on an 8-thread CPU, it's not like it's a strict requirement to have 10 threads -- not that many CPUs have more than 8. They just won't run at exactly the same time. Which isn't that big of a deal. It works fine on quad-core CPUs -- even without HT, like I've described. Hyperthreading helps a lot though. Your CPU (assuming the flair is accurate) should have no problem handling RPCS3.

It also depends on if the performance is based on similar clock speeds. The clock speeds on i7's are usually about 15% higher than i5's but they usually both max out after overclock to speeds that put the single core performance on an i5 ahead of the i7.

With most emulation the barrier is getting anything to happen. If you can emulate the CPU and boot a game it means you have 99% of the library infrastructure in place to replicate the machine. Once you have something you can actually show people to both prove its feasible and you are most of the way there you suddenly get a huge influx of interest and attention to get that last 1% of the way there (and that last 1% is all the esoteric hardware and software bugs in the original, optimization, and all the features on top of a working emulator like input support).
But for that 99% you have nothing to show but debug output saying you are getting one instruction of emulation further ahead each time you implement some missing piece. That doesn't attract bug reports, patches, or a wide dev team.
And because consoles have become more complete OSes with more API surface and more complex instruction sets we don't see emulators that are feasible but too slow to practically use any more. The last major one was PCSX2 which had its first usable release fairly early in the life cycle of the PS2 but couldn't really manage playable framerates for about five years (until about 2007). New emulators are exercises in just reproducing the million lines of code Sony / MS / Nintendo wrote for a given recent generation console to make it boot, and you don't know if its even feasible until you have a boot splash. And that takes at least years.

Well, a lot of the PC emulators can be used on a decent smartphone as well (tho the DS emulation needs a new high-end phone to run good).

You aren't wrong! Buuuut, and maybe it's just me, but I've never quite liked those third party controllers for mobile phones. I'll admit that I've probably just not spent enough money on one so the ones I keep trying are trash, but none of them have ever felt smooth enough compared to native stuff like a PSP or 3DS. It's like using a Rock Candy knockoff controller at a friend's house when you were a kid, you know what I mean? Plus even though modern Android phones are more powerful than a PSP, the PSP is what the games are optimized for and you won't run into any traditional emulator bugs, and the PSP is plenty powerful enough to emulate GameBoy stuff. Not to mention it's completely free if you have an old PSP lying around somewhere like I did :')

There's no way currently to download decrypted 3DS games. There used to be an application called Wii U USB Helper that downloaded straight from the eShop, but the legality of it was sketchy at best and the creator has stopped distributing it.
If you actually own the game you want to play, hacking your 3DS so you can dump it is trivial. You can do it in less than 5 minutes using the holy 3DS guide. You can pick up a cheap 3rd party charger and a flashcart for less than $10 total and be good to go.

If you look for a "Chinese build" of Citra, those are generally packed with the dumps from a real 3DS that you need to use it, but can't be legally distributed with the official build of Citra. So get one of those, with the extra files you need, and then use them with the official builds.

With Ryzen in general, it's a matter of threading vs IPC performance. If the application is well threaded, Ryzens kick ass. If you just want the highest possible frequency for a single thread, Intel will win that battle.
In my personal experience, Ryzen keeps slowly but surely getting better.
I just recently went from Intel to a 2700x, but I haven't tested emulators yet. Citra would be a good test, as would dolphin and cemu.
Single core performance aside, it is absolutely absurd how much shit I can do at once on an 8 core 16 thread PC. Sure I'd have slightly more max fps on Intel, but I also stream on my PC and it's great to basically dedicate one ccx (4 core cluster) to streaming an the other 4 core to the game and have barely any performance hit at all with great quality.

I hope that games, emulators and so on keep improving their multicore support. Ryzen 5 was the way to go for me because I'm someone who surfes the internet with several tabs open (right now just 24) and has kodi running on a TV hooked up to the PC and maybe a game running in a background. Ryzen is perfect for that.

Ryzen 5 is GREAT for RPCS3 because more cores(PS3 was an 8 core console after all) . Citra struggles a bit unless you can overclock pretty high cause it needs high single core speed, Intel is preferable for Citra.

Speaking from experience here. Iโm currently playing through Demons Souls with a Ryzen 5 1600 and a 1080. It has the slightest stutter when itโs compiling shaders every now and then but other than that it works phenomenally. I honestly canโt believe weโre already emulating PS3. Never thought Iโd be able to play demons souls.

Basically the issue comes down to the fact that 3DS keydata is technically copyrighted, you can do all the decryption on a PC now but you need an actual 3DS to dump cartridges or to buy eShop games in the first place to then dump. Basically everything from carts to games to the NAND to CDN contents is encrypted with Nintendo's keys. Though granted most people here just pirate games anyhow because idk emulators make it OK somehow.

No Nintendo Switch emulator can boot BotW. You're probably thinking of a fake one. Yuzu is the only one that can boot a couple of commercial games, but nothing really complex. The 3DS emulator is Citra and it works pretty well.
adueppen ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 20:30:07 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
Specifically, anything that uses 3D isn't going to work since Yuzu has no 3D renderer yet. It can do things like the menus in Mario Odyssey though.
Edit: Ryujinx was the one that could get to the Odyssey menus.

Saturn emulation is in its infancy because of the complex architecture Sega used in its hardware and the sheer amount of crack protection they used.
Xbox emulation hasnโt been a strong priority, mainly because the original Xbox didnโt have many strong exclusives that werenโt already on PC. The only first party Xbox games I can think of that arenโt on the PC are Blinx the Time Sweeper, Jet Set Radio Future and a few of the really crappy first year exclusives.
I think the Switch emulator was debunked as a hoax to get people riled up for Breath of the Wild. As far as emulation goes, the Wii U version of BotW is mainly played on Cemu, a Wii U emulator that unlike the others is closed-source and properietary.

jumpman72 ยท 54 points ยท Posted at 13:57:36 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
Fairly smooth is an understatement. On modern hardware it easily outperforms the Wii U and even the Switch - both of which dip to 20 FPS in demanding areas.
An old i5 can average around 40.
Mimical ยท 12 points ยท Posted at 14:22:56 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
For anyone interested. CEMU (unless things have changed) is pretty dependant on having at least 2 fast cores. An i3 at a high clock will run better than an i7 at low clocks. So while that's a little sad for the people running high end CPU's it also means that even entry level chips can emulate 30FPS. And even an entry level GPU can easily handle some extra AA and texture packs to make the games look sharp.

Mimical ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 14:56:31 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
Yeah they should be great. Even on older CPU's the breakpoint for 30FPS isjust above 3 Ghz. So a new Ryzen at 4.0 Ghz (even with a touch less IPC then intel) should clear 30FPS with flying colours.
Here is a decent video of a guy just increasing the clock on his 6700k to show the difference in FPS, he's not fullscreen and has a 1070 AND is on an older version of CEMU, so it might not represent exactly what you get, but it gives you a decent idea. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HaMzCg4Fd0

I patched my Persona 5 to run at 60fps and 4K. I have an 8700k and 1080ti and I can't get above 35 fps in the city areas, but in most dungeons and every battle it's buttery smooth.
It needs some more work, but having played most games back to back on Ps3 and the Emulator, I would say the emulator is already quickly becoming better than the console in terms of performance and graphics. Depending on the game of course.

The Switch emulator was probably helped along by the fact that it's based on an existing hardware stack (NVidia Tegra) using an ARM CPU which already has emulators. So the hardest part is getting anything unique to the Switch (like the game cartridge decryption) working.

Speaking of the original xbox...I was in college in the early 00's and a buddy of mine gutted his Xbox. He replaced the inside with, at the time, a huge amount of storage (1 TB or slightly more) and installed a Linux system in there. You controlled it with the controllers, but he installed emulators for NES, SNES, N64, etc all on his Xbox. It was awesome. The next year the 360 came out, but he still has his "super Xbox"

that's just it though, you don't need or have the highest resolution to play those games. i get it, it's nice to have all your games in one place, which is why i have so many steam games, but if you want to play the exclusives bad enough then you should be buying the console and play it that way. between me and my GF we have all 3 of the current gen consoles, switch being mine PS4 hers and xbone being both of ours, i only bought a switch because nintendo has always put out great games for their consoles and there is no replacement for nintendo first party games. i only got an xbone because she went half in on it, the consoles weren't worth the cost just to play one or two games on it.
i feel like instead of using an emulator for GC through wii u you could have just gotten the systems and played them. there is never a NEED to use an emulator to play current gen games/consoles
toomuchyang ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 15:02:20 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
I think this is less about need and more about convenience. Like you, the gf and I own a ps4 and xbone. The reasons were to play specific games. However, hearing that I could potentially emulate current gen on my pc, I would probably do this just for the convenience factor. The companies got their money from me already--i bought their systems. And the game companies will continue to get money from me as I'll continue to buy their games.
When it comes to piracy of brand new games, I cast my lot with you. I think its important to buy them so companies can make a profit and continue to make what I want. But I don't think its fair to say that we just shouldn't emulate current gen.

Bruh its like you just ignored every valid point i made except his res and you belitted it. Better online play is 100% worth it (i edited in my last post but cant tell if you saw). Online play at all is 100% worth it. Higher res alone is worth the effort to some. Seriously 480p->1080p+. And then i dont have to spend 100+ bucks on a modern recording+streaming device that supports 480p and 60fps (btw that didnt exist until 2011) not to mention its just easier to stream from a pc. Not to mention people would rather watch a 1080p stream than a 480p stream.

they have a great legal method, you buy their system. if you don't want to buy their system you don't get the play the games limited to that system. no one is entitled to playing the games. it's honestly really simple when you think about it. want to play the games then buy the system, don't want the buy the system then you don't get the play the games. there is no valid reason for pirating current gen games. i can somewhat understand with some of the older stuff but it's just not available anymore or someone with the physical copy of the game is selling for hundreds of dollars but at that point the money isn't going to the company anyways since they no longer make it. doing it for stuff they are still putting out new and you don't get second hand, even though you can, you shouldn't be pirating and there isn't a reason for it.

ethdman ยท 17 points ยท Posted at 14:40:19 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
Many programs have issues if you have the exe in a different spot than where it was initially installed, or will go into a sort of "portable mode" that'll dump all its data files onto whatever directory it's in, which would be the desktop in this case.
Shortcuts are also really, really small (a few kilobytes at most). Even the smallest modern executables are bigger than that.

This is what symlinks are for. Lookup

Eh, I think I'll stick with shortcuts for virtually everything on my desktop. They have their place too. Symlinks are better for relocating program data when a program refuses to have its data elsewhere or when an app can't move its directory. Not so great for populating your desktop with apps.
EDIT: Mostly just because the desktop is the sort of thing shortcuts are made for, and migrating app data is the sort of thing symlinks are made for. I'm sure there are benefits to killing shortcuts altogether and just using symlinks, but I can't think of any right now.
DRYMakesMeWET ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 17:32:59 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
Symlink are shortcuts at the filesystem level, they don't rely on Windows API properly using the shortcut in context. Windows should replace shortcuts with normal symlinks.
ethdman ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 17:54:24 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
Shortcuts use Windows Explorer to pass context to applications, which seems to handle it perfectly well. As long as you don't mess with what Windows Explorer does by default when creating shortcuts, it's unlikely to cause issues.
Yeah, that means you're relying on Explorer to handle that part, but in the same vein you're relying on the filesystem to provide the correct context when you symlink. Both are perfectly good at doing their jobs, so not much point to worrying about which piece of software is working correctly.
That said, I think symlinks could serve as a decent enough replacement for shortcuts, but Windows needs a lot of work from a UI perspective to make symlinks easy to use for the general populace. Since the shortcut system already works well enough for what it is (a way to easily access software installed on your computer via your desktop or Start menu) there's likely not much drive among Windows devs to change that up too much.
DRYMakesMeWET ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 18:24:04 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
Yeah but at the filesystem level makes more sense. A symlink can be handled and traversed by other operating systems to some degree. I can cd into a symlinked directory on Windows from Linux (of course there are issues like not understanding ntfs permissions, but it works)...There's no way Linux is going to understand a .lnk
Plus if I write a program that lets you open stuff, I either have to explicitly program to allow for .lnk files and how to handle them, whereas symlinks would just work because it's pointing at the actual file on disk
Edit: It's better to have this at a kernel level rather than an OS level for interoperability. This way software devs don't have to worry about it in userland applications. You can implement functionality a million different ways, but there's a right way and a wrong way to do it. Symlinks are the way to go if you want to work towards future-proofing compatibility with different OS's.

pic.jpg, notC:\Program Files\publisher\developer\game\stuff\pic.jpg(though it could be).Basically the exe will know where it is during install, why you get that popup asking where to install, but if you move the exe after it's likely it won't know this and be screwed up.

Just like the other guy said, with a shortcut you can save lots of GB on your desktop. A lot of people have two different drives, so putting every program on the D: drive saves a lot of space on the C: drive (where your desktop is located)

Remember the 3DO?
Coachcrog ยท 14 points ยท Posted at 14:13:33 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
Man I loved the 3do, growing up my neighbor used to have all the new gaming systems so I'd be over there all the time to play whatever awesome game was out. Wolfenstien and some game where you make a crazy obstacle course that a ball has to travel down. Looking back it's kinda creepy that I'd be over a middle aged man house every day playing video games in a dark room or swimming in his pool alone. But he and his wife couldn't have children so I think they just liked having my sister and I over to play.
Edit: Before he moved he sold me his Genesis, 32x, and Sega CD with a box of games for a few hundred bucks, I still bust that giant thing out when I want to impress the ladies.

That whole setup is entirely ridiculous but it just fascinates me. The Sega CD is crazy expensive now, I wish I'd bought one a few years back when they were still a ripoff, but not absurd. I have a 32X that I snatched up on eBay for a decent price, and a custom power supply harness so I don't need three power adapters.

NES:
Mesen. Runs great and is very accurate.

SNES:
Higan, for super accuracy.
https://byuu.org/emulation/higan/
SNES9x, for accessibility/features.
https://sites.google.com/site/bearoso/
http://www.s9x-w32.de/dl/testbuilds/?C=M;O=D
N64:
Mupen64Plus, for accuracy.
https://bitbucket.org/ecsv/mupen64plus-mxe-daily/overview
Project64, for a better interface.
www.emucr.com/search/label/Project64?&max-results=12
Gamecube/Wii:
Dolphin. Just great. Use the nightlies, they are way ahead of the latest stable release and usually work very well.
https://dolphin-emu.org/download/
Gameboy Advance (plus color/OG):
mGBA. Very decent. Also has an android core in RetroArch.
https://mgba.io/downloads.html
Nintendo DS:
DeSmuME. Not great, but for now the best on PC.
https://desmume.org/download/
DraStic. Paid app on Android, but a great emulator.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dsemu.drastic&hl=en
Nintendo 3DS
Citra. Works well for some games, but still in development.
https://citra-emu.org/download/
WiiU:
Cemu. Works well for lots of games, but still has issues. Needs good hardware.
http://cemu.info/#download
Saturn:
Yabause, not perfect compatibility, but making good strides and has more features than other emulators.
http://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Yabause
Genesis:
BlastEM. The best for accuracy.
https://www.retrodev.com/blastem/changes.html
Kega Fusion. Not perfect, but also supports a bunch of other Sega consoles.
https://www.carpeludum.com/kega-fusion/
Dreamcast:
DEmul, good for some games, but not very accurate.
http://demul.emulation64.com/downloads/
NullDC, Reicast and ReDream are three in development emulators. NullDC is probably the most promising and might run some games better than DEmul.
http://www.emucr.com/search/label/nullDC-optimized?&max-results=12
PS1:
PCSX-Reloaded PGXP. Generally runs well and has some nice features.
http://www.ngemu.com/threads/pcsxr-pgxp.186369/
PS2:
Not as good as Dolphin for the Wii, but a pretty mature emulator that runs most games well.
https://buildbot.orphis.net/pcsx2/
PS3:
RPCS3. Runs some games pretty well, others not at all, but overall moving in great stried. Needs powerful hardware.
https://rpcs3.net/download
PSP:
PPSSPP. Runs very well, even on Android.
https://buildbot.orphis.net/ppsspp/
Arcade:
MAME. It's the go to for arcade stuff, there's an archive of about 60 gigabytes with a shit load of games.
http://www.mamedev.org/release.html
https://archive.org/download/MAME_0.197_ROMs_merged
https://journalxtra.com/gaming/download-complete-sets-of-mess-and-mame-roms/
(You also have to get them up to date to the current 0.198)

[deleted] ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 17:24:02 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
Well, for CD based games you just make an ISO. For cartridge based games, you can usually get USB thingies that dump the cardridge to files useable for emulators.
That's of course the proper way to do it, as we are all only playing the games we personally own, right? Although I have heard there is a paradise for emus on the web where you can find quite a bit. Google is your friend.

They can, mostly. But I'd recommend getting a controller. It's alright for 2d games, but most 3d games need a controller to feel decent. I'd get an Xbox 360 controller or Xbox One controller, they are supported by most emulators. The 8bitdo controllers are nice, too, if you like it retro. Not quite on the level of old Nintendo controllers, but close.

Xbox one s controllers are top tier and all you need. PS4 works too if you have one laying around.
[deleted] ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 22:24:52 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
I'd say the best is the Xbox 360/One controller because it's the most widely supported. 8bitdo makes decent retro controllers, though.

If you're looking for the ROMs, that falls under "piracy" and is frowned upon on reddit. Not hard to find romsets in the "usual places" for that sort of thing.

We grew up on Limewire and and torrents. Pirating music back then was so ubiquitous, I'm sure everyone had at least one friend who would burn CDs for them. The scene really hasn't been the same since TPB got taken down.
Plus, with streaming services like Spotify there's almost no need for music pirating. I'm happy to pay for a monthly subscription to listen to almost any song I could want.

It seems you are possibly discussing piracy or piracy-related topics. Although this is neither against reddit's rules nor our own, it's important to remember to be responsible. Content creators can only create said content because they receive funding from you.
Piracy is an important freedom in our sometimes restrictive societies, and it's important to remember these things before you pass judgement on people discussing it:
Lastly, here's a few tips: AdBlock is awesome for hiding fake download links. Deluge is an excellent open-source client that isn't in close cooperation with the MPAA (unlike uTorrent, uninstall it as soon as possible). Oh, and remember: torrenting in itself isn't illegal, and it's definitely not piracy! It's simply a method of transferring files. It's what you transfer that matters.

I don't know if it's that they "hate piracy" as much as they just know better than to talk about it. I'm sure some of them legitimately prefer to purchase content, but all of them grew up watching people get sued for absurd sums over "file sharing". Openly discussing piracy on a public forum is like posting videos of you and your friends breaking some other law on facebook - it's not a bright move.
Even if you're all about stealing content, you shouldn't want everybody else to do the same. At the end of the day, somebody has to pay content creators, or they'll stop creating content. Let piracy be sketchy, difficult, and kinda wrong. Let the majority be uncomfortable with it, so that the industry can continue to afford to make stuff worth pirating.

It really is silly. When I was young I pirated tons of music and games that i wasn't going to buy regardless because i was broke. Now that I have a big boy job I can easily afford Spotify and buying the games myself which I do now.
It's a win win because artists get brand awareness and distribution to people who weren't going to give them money regardless. All content creators have to do is make their product convenient and people will happily pay.

I'm a "younger lad" and I openly endorse piracy.
Now, I do fall in a gray area, where say a game I want is expensive (aren't they all?) and I'm not convinced to spend $XX to buy it. I may then choose to obtain a version that is not legit - should I love it, I'll buy it for the continued pleasure and updates/DLC/whatever - but if I don't, no harm done.
I feel that while devs deserve payment for their work, not all of them deserve a premium price for their half-assed money grab game.
In conclusion, piracy is a wonderful thing, some people feel different and that's fine, but I know I have a fatter wallet and spend less on shit I'll never use than the average bear.

Emulators (at least older ones) are just mimicking a processor. So for instance, NES is a modified version of 6502 ASM. Apple II uses 6502, so NES games are not very different than old computer programs. They have custom headers and some specialized opcodes, but aside from that it's pretty similar.
The process of reverse engineering a processor could get into a legal gray area, but the code produced with that information is perfectly legal.
Roms on the other hand are exact copies of programs which are protected by copyright.
Edit: similar example, a VM program essentially emulates for instance, an x86 architecture. That's fine, but when you download a copy of windows to run on it, the copy of windows is illegal unless you purchased it.

Emulators are actually established as legal by case law. There's a rather good episode of Gaming Historian that covers this. The TL;DR, however, is that two different companies created emulators for the PlayStation and put them on sale at retail. This was back in '99 when the PS was still a current-generation console. The idea being that you could buy the emulator software and run current games on your PC instead of a console. Sony sued them both and lost.
While there was almost certainly some grey-market "'not for piracy' wink-wink" going on it's also a pretty damn good value proposition for PC gamers. If I could get a high quality PS4 emulator that would run games on my PC, it would be very useful to play some of the exclusives out there that I have an interest in without having to buy into the hardware. It's the game I'm interested in, not the console itself.

Reminder that the rules only say you can't link piracy or request it. So, saying cool roms is a website to download your old games that you own physically onto your pc, is in no way facilitating piracy. Please do not abuse, if you do not own a game do not download it from that website. However if you do own say, sonic 1 2 and 3 on genesis but you lost your genesis cables and controllers, feel free to go download those specific roms and an emulator and go relive your childhood.

DS: DeSmuME (no$GBA is also one but I have graphic problems on it)
GBA and GBC: VisualBoyAdvance
Wii U: Cemu (BotW can run, but a good CPU getting up to 4.0GHz, 16 RAM, and a modern GPU is recommended. BSoD Gaming is a YT channel with great tutorials and other help with Cemu and even some other emulators like RPCS3)
N64: Project 64
NES: Mesen
Those are the emulators I have. Sorry if you wanted something that isn't Nintendo lol but they're not hard to find.
PS3: RPCS3 (I haven't played so idk the quality)
3DS: Citra (not all games work, I haven't played much because Shadows of Valentia did not work)
Mobile Emulator:
iOS: lol good luck
Android GBA: My Boy (free and $5)
GBC: My OldBoy (free and $4)
Idk any others. There's apparently a creator named John Emulators that may have more, but I don't know the quality

VisualBoyAdvance is ancient. VisualBoyAdvance-M is more recent fork of it (for some strange reason it has always been hard to find the download link for it).
The newest (and best?) is mGBA. Though I think it is more aimed for GBA and not so much for GB/GBC.

Very little is documented about how it works compared to GameCube and PS3, coupled with thereโs not much interest in getting it to run as there werenโt that many exclusives for it (or ones people want to play).

The pc ports are poor for competitive play though so we're hoping emulation comes along quickly with cxbx reloaded. Especially because MCC was a total disaster (largely because it was based on the pc code instead of xbox...)

This is the biggest competitive Halo 1 event in the world. $3300 prize pool and previous years got over $5000. We still play on OG Xboxes at these events. PC is inferior unfortunately. Gearbox screwed up so many things. Some of us are trying to mod PC but the netcode was built for 56k connections so its incredibly inconsistent.
Go to www.halobugs.com if you don't believe me that PC and MCC are buggy for Halo 1.
And I've actually commissioned JayFoxRox of the xqemu project to work on a Halo CE specific emulator and we're paying him for it. Ask him if you don't believe me (he's on reddit).

But Halo 1 and 2 exist on PC. The original versions. If you want to play them with a "classic" experience you can right now.
Aside from you apparently, I don't think any Halo 1 or 2 fans are holding out to play an emulated version of the game instead of just playing the PC version.

The slight modifications still make it hard. The GPU is a modified GeForce 3 with GeForce 4 features, but not a GeForce 4. It also uses a complete custom kernal. It also uses a modded version of directx, where it behaves like opengl but isn't opengl. All of these factors plus the lack of exclusives (as stated by another person) makes the Xbox not very worthwhile to emulate.

For anyone that wishes to give this a spin, I've spent the past few months setting up a dedicated emulator HTPC combining nearly all consoles and their libraries into a single machine. Heres what I can tell you from trial, error, and spending money on a problem:
Xbox One controller is the best all around controller for almost all of them. Ive tried 8bitdo offerings, retrolink, DS3 and 4, Steam Controller, the Xbone Controller just works. Unless you invest in a Bliss Box and get the authentic controllers, the Xbone is the closest you'll get to a good all around tool.
If you don't mind having a wired controller, the Sega Saturn model 2 and Hori Fighting Commander gamepads will make every console up to the aforementioned Saturn amazing. Six Buttons, D-Pad, and two shoulder bumpers for every consoles needs. Worth spending the 30 odd dollars just for that good layout and feel.
Mayflash Dolphin Bar is amazing, and allows you to use the Wiimote/Nunchuck combo by simply setting Real Wiimote in Dolphin. Plug and Play, works amazing. They fixed the LED burn out issue you might see talked about as well awhile back. Worth 20 dollars every day.
Mayflash Gamecube to PC converter is worth it. The only emulators the Xbox controller seems to struggle is the N64 and Gamecube. Doable, but you will definitely need an adjustment period and mis-hit C buttons all the time with the right stick. It's just a good investment.
A lot of emulators rely on OpenGL, and take advantage of the multithreaded hacks that Nvidia uses. Because AMD keeps the Radeon cards in compliance with the standard, the cards seriously lag behind. An example: my 1030GT gets better FPS in CEMU then my RX 480. Vulkan support is still in an early stage, and DirectX tends to cause some graphical issues that aren't present with OpenGL. Save yourself the headache and get a Nvidia card for emulation.
You'll read the GPU doesn't matter so much as the CPU, and that's partially true. A 750 Ti will run anything you throw at it, however if you want to upscale the resolution to 2k/4k/8k you'll need exponentially more VRAM. My 770GTX 2GB chokes on a lot of newer console emulators, causing FPS drops and sound distortion while the 8GB on my GTX 1080 allows smooth frames. With 4GB cards being so available on the used market and in the wild, do yourself a favor and get AT LEAST a GTX 960 4GB. If you only want to run old school stuff like the NES, just use a Pi.
Single Core is King. Some emulators will take advantage of multiple threads, but even in that situation the IPC of each core is vastly more important then thread count. The age of the console is also not relative to the specs needed to run it's emulator. For example, Higan is an SNES emulator that sometimes chokes on my i5-3570. Trying to use the Angrylion plugin for the Nintendo 64 will decimate a processor that might be running even CEMU fine. The faster the processor, in BOTH frequency and IPC, the better.
Ivy Bridge will run most anything thrown at it, an R5 1600 overclocked to 4GHz will experience SOME dips sometimes but run most anything you give it full speed. For full on non-stop capped frame rates in everything, you'll need a Skylake and above overclocked to 4.5Ghz+. The vast majority of emulators can run on a toaster, but if you want to hit up the Dreamcast, Wii U, PS2, PS3, 3DS, etc, you'll need to brute force some games to get max frames with pure processing power. For most however, an older Sandy/Ivy or a cheap Ryzen will handle anything they want.
Hope this helps some people out there become inspired to try their hand at emulation. It's simply amazing how far devs have come, and even more amazing to see every console you used to drool over as a kid sitting all together on a single machine. Nothing quite like firing up some 3DO to jump to Sega CD, then sit back with some Turbografx-16 before booting up a PS2 game. It's the very essence of PC Master Race.
If anyone has any questions, hit me up. This has become something like a fun new hobby to add to the PC itself.

I've encountered this when using a regular bluetooth adapter, as it is not quite the same stack that the wiimote is tuned for apparently. No issues at all I've had using the Dolphin Bar.

HayabusaKnight ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 03:17:03 on June 18, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
The D-Pad is just awful. Steam Controller is designed for modern 3D games, and replaces a mouse and keyboard quite adequately. For old 2D and pseudo-3D games on consoles, its D-Pad and touchpad are very frustrating to use. It makes a great replacement for a wiimote though.

have you tried the 8bitdo SF30 Pro? That one is a good alrounder up to PS2-ish systems, only lacks analog shoulder buttons.
(i also love the other 8bitdo SNES styled pads, everything else they do is more novelty than useful).
And i REALLY do not get that "retro" feeling using a modern Xbox controller, that just feels wrong, but of course it works perfectly fine.
HayabusaKnight ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 17:58:02 on June 18, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
You won't get the retro feel, but it has what you need. Native windows support, support for all emulators, good clicky D-Pad, two thumbsticks, shoulder bumpers, analog triggers, 4 button placement. It's just the perfect all in one controller. Nothing will be like using the actual controllers but the Xbone just saves a time, headache, and money.

N64 emulation is still unfortunately very behind. The most popular games are hard coded to work, but this is at the cost of accuracy and performance. And the less popular games are a crapshoot as to whether they work. You would think a system with only like 200 games would have better compatibility in the emulators, but I guess not

RetroPie is fun, but master race it is not. It doesn't have the horsepower to run all PS1 or N64 games without issues. It has latency problems. It doesn't even have the horsepower to run NES games with the good shaders.

Yes, after original hardware and an actual PC (which is what this thread and subreddit is about) it's a good option. I own one and I use it. But the 3rd best option, at best, is hardly master race. It's the console of emulation, for the reasons I stated above.

For Ps2 emulation I recommend at least 4 physical cores and preferably hyper threaded. On my non HT dual core I get 30-60 fps in calm areas, but lots of enemies on screen lags it all to hell.

Ps2 games almost all work amazing. Besides raising the graphics so it looks better you will have to change one or 2 specific settings for most game. Kingdom hearts for example the text looks bad unless you change something for that. 3d platformers such as jak and Daxter or ratchet and clank don't work as well as I would like on it.

You could check on the website, it lists what games work and to what degree. In my small amount of experience using that emulator most games work well but a lot of those games you have to tweak the settings a little.
I wasn't interested in that game from the quick time events being core to the combat. But I also have gamers thumb so it can cause me pain easily to have to button mash.

ItGonBeK ยท 8 points ยท Posted at 15:00:41 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
The only reason they exist is to push one console or the other.
What's the difference between playing Bloodborne on my PS4 Pro as opposed to my PC? Well, because the PS4 Pro is so much less powerful than my PC, I'm locked [sub-]60 framerates with sub-par graphics, for no reason other than Sony's exclusive deals. I'd much rather play Bloodborne on my PC, with powerful hardware that can push 144 frames at maxed settings so that my character's animations aren't slideshow choppy. I'd like to play on Steam where my friends are, and communicate with them on our Discord, Skype, or Teamspeak groups, all of which have better features and quality than PSN, AND are free. Oh, and I don't have to pay a monthly subscription just to use the internet, and I can use any program I want on my second screen while playing the game..
If there are exclusive games I really like on different platforms, I have no choice but to buy multiple consoles.
Another effect is that it divides the playerbase, it reduces the potential to share your experience with other people because they own a different platform. It also limits some really great games from being appreciated by the general public because they are locked on an unpopular console.

The game would've sold MUCH more (profit to fromsoftware) than what Sony paid them for the exclusivity. That's why Bloodborne 2 will probably not happen.
Sony also kinda lost money in the game, and made up selling a bunch of consomes, which is just an strategic move.

Counter devil's advocate, if we dump all consumers from other platforms to one platform...
--love ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 15:53:28 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
Let me just say, the majority of your points are explaining how a console exclusive game like Bloodborne would be benefitted if it came on PC. And nobody is denying that all these benefits would exist (what would I not give to be able to play Bloodborne in 60 FPS lol); but realistically what would instead happen is that Bloodborne wouldn't exist in it's present state of quality in the first place.
So basically what you're advocating for is that no consumer gets to play the game, instead of some consumers (the ones who own a PS4) getting to play the game.
I fail to see how this is in any way pro-consumer.
Let me use another highly regarded PS4 exclusive, God of War, to illustrate this.
Games like God of War are designed as console exclusives right from the get go. The game simply wouldn't exist in it's present form if it was multiplatform. I'm talking about the quality and the budget required for that quality here (obviously the name "God of War" could still be slapped on). Continuing with this specific example, it is likely that a pitch for a complete redesign with an entirely new setting and a more grounded and mature approach to storytelling won't be entertained by any publisher. You would also be sorely disappointed if you expected this to be a singleplayer and completely MTX-free experience as a multiplatform game.
Not having to worry about funding and popularity also encourages the studio to take bigger risks, and spend more time, care and attention on the game itself. That's what makes them more than just great games. That's why, with multiplatform developers like Rockstar, Bethesda and CDPR being the rare exceptions, most of the recent 90+ games are console exclusives.
The entire SoulsBorne series wouldn't have seen the light of day if it wasn't for Sony's tendency to welcome quirky and niche projects (Demon's Souls, Shadow of The Colossus, The Last Guardian, etc.) and support them. A game like Demon's Souls has no place in a mainstream publisher like EA or Activision's GaaS money-machine philosophy (Anthem, etc.). The drastic graphical upgrade that was seen in Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3 (compared to 1 and 2) was also a consequence of the upgraded engine that Sony paid for.
For all these reasons, many of the best games ever made, ranging from Ocarina of Time to God of War and Bloodborne, are exclusives.

If no one else has answered reasonably. it's because the games were built around that specific hardware for the most part. Which is why even on the consoles themselves when there is backwards compatibility, it is for very specific games, depended on how the games were programed.

Isn't Windows just a os like Linux? Why do we still need to buy that expensive spyware?
Source code isn't public, so everything has to be reverse engineered, which gets complicated when the hardware was designed to make tampering hard. Especially considering that consoles are pretty powerful compared to normal PCs, so any emulation software has to be well optimised.

It's not perfect. Have a better one? Consoles use undocumented components for which the games are specifically coded for.
In order to find out what any given instruction really does you'd have to find a way to watch the results on the actual hardware. This is hard since even hacking the console proves to be difficult

As someone that has used all types of os's, you really aren't missing much. Linux has much more security than windows and you can change anything you want to with it. But for most people Windows is fine, especially when you are a PC gamer.

On all the issues that arise when you try to run a modern DirectX game using wine.
Apart from that a free Linux distro can pretty much replace your windows system. Free means it doesn't cost money and you don't have as many limitations on what you can do with it imposed on you.
Actually I'm guilty of using Windows myself. Right now you can't get around that if you want your games to perform well. I'm afraid of the day I've become so accustom to Windows that I'm unable to do the switch.

Normal people donโt own basic desktops any more lol everyone buys laptops unless theyโre building a gaming pc. The argument that you can just buy a graphics card is useless for almost everyone.
If you disagree with me youโre very out of touch with reality.

Yeah, this entirely. A lot of people either have a laptop or use a tablet/smartphone for 'light gaming', so if they want to step in to actual gaming (i.e not mobile games) then they have to either buy a console from scratch or buy a PC from scratch. Also how many people have a shitty desktop laying around without a GPU and feel confident enough to buy and install one? I mean yeah it's easy but it's not exactly common knowledge.

You are misrepresenting me my dear friend. I never claimed that console are better, I merely implied the performance of PS4/Xbone relative to PCs makes them harder to emulate than a Gameboy.
While my PC can be considered suboptimal for gaming this doesn't make it a shitty computing device.

Check this out if you're interested in getting a shit-ton of emulators and games in packs. He adds to them on a regular bases with new systems and ROMs. His setup uses Launchbox + Rocketlauncher to make it all look nice and simple to use. The Discord in the description takes you to his server where people there will help if you need it. Very simple to get going though.
One word of warning, if you want it all you will need a LOT of spare disc space. you can pick and choose what you want but you'll prolly want it all in the end.
It's all FREE, he said he'd rather not do it than charge. Can't argue with that.

For anyone interested in emulating a lot of different consoles I would strongly recommend RetroArch. It's surprisingly easy to set up and you can run all of those emulators you see above in one program with very little setup. I also use another program to import the ROMs to my steam library so I can launch them from there as I would any other game.

Yeah those graphical glitches sound about right, the problem is one occurs when you have to use a second camera in game to control an object, if you're playing solo it's literally impossible because the second camera doesn't render anything recognizable.

Nope and none are going to be stable enough for a while (I don't think any are being worked on though). There is some current work on the PS3 though at: RPCS3.

What kind of monster machine must you have to properly run a PS2 emulator
Nanaki__ ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 14:26:53 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
depends what you mean by 'properly' you can do native resolution on an old i5 (2500) with an old gforce card. (560) (and you probably don't even need that)
Best bet is to check the PCSX2 Wiki for the game you want to play and see what people recommend.

One setup that's actually kind of useful is running a Macintosh emulator within an Amiga emulator. It was said for a while that the Amiga was the fastest 68k Mac, because while Apple stopped the 68k line at the 68040, there were late and aftermarket Amiga expansions that sported a 68060.

Emulators are perfectly legal as you can see below, big companies can not take them down because the law sides with them although they can hinder their operations for a little while.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleem!#Sony_lawsuit
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RPCS3#Atlus_DMCA_takedown_notice
Downloading the games/DLCs/BIOS files is not legal.
However chances are you can download whatever you want since emulators focus on old games and chances are, the companies that made them do not even exist, never mind having a legal team on the look out for pirates.
You can PM me and I will hook you up with some trusted sites if you want, or you can search yourself since they are not hard to find.

No love for the 3DO. Yes most of its games were ported to Windows, but it still had some of the better versions of those ports.
Road Rash, Starfighter, and Star Control 2 immediately come to mind. (Though Star Control 2 was eventually open sourced and re-ported to various systems as The Ur-Quan Masters)

Though I love gaming on my PC, I much rather boot up an actual console than using an emulator. It's starting to take up quite a lot of space though, one fairly big gaming PC, one retro PC (Windows 98 SE that was built by my great-uncle and belonged to my grandpa) and like a billion consoles.

When my GBA broke, my dad downloaded GBA and GBC emulators from his office and Iโve played Pokรฉmon Gold on it beating the elite 4 hundreds of times until all my Pokรฉmon were level 99. Then when my cousin was done playing FF8 he gave the discs to me and played it on the PS1 emulator, at that point I was like โwhy do I even need a console if I can play games and work on my homework with a PC?โ Now I donโt even have a PC although planning on building one soon.

illpoet ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 15:15:06 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
usually they aren't too hard to configure but don't work point and click. find an emulator you like and watch a youtube video or two.
you are going to have to poke around to find the games, as they usually fall in a pretty grey area legally, with the shade of grey being towards illegal. technically it's legal to own a ripped copy of a game, but only if you physically own the original cd/dvd of the game. you can find the files, I'd start by looking at torrent sites via a vpn.
you need to know that there are some sketchy sites out there dealing with the games bc of their sort of legal nature. check anything you download for viruses/malware etc.

Because steam is a middleman, you can try xpadder if your game is missing support, binds keyboard buttons to controller buttons. If I had to guess.

Quick question:
How do you get the wii-motes to work on the computer. And if you can't connect the wii-motes to the computer directly, how do you work the Wii motion controls in the emulator?
blokkanokka ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 16:01:51 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
Youtube your question, its easy to setup. Ize at work and cannot see the name of the program but its as simple as getting bluetooth, and that little light bar, and syncing it up. The program is like any other emulator controller setup. They also make scripts, so to use a wii balance board as gas pedals, or use wiimote as a mouse, though not perfect. And works just as well with tracking.
devi59 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 16:04:27 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
Bluetooth or easier is there is a special lightbar that plugs in for usb specifically for pc that also gives bluetooth for it if you dont already have it. I have it but stopped using it, have it stored around somewhere.

I use PPSSPP, Dolphin and PCSX-R and PCSX2, I can't do all PS2 games but around 40 if my favorites. Wii and Gamecube games run really well (Wii games that use controller that is) and PSP games are some of the easiest to emulate load wise.

Arguably the best time to be alive for emulation was 97/98; you could literally play titles that were released a few years before, and play all the non 3d arcade games out there.
I was able to play all the Dragonball Z console games that were never released in America right when Dragonball Z premiered on Toonami.
Also OP needs more Turbografix 16 and Neo Geo

The official Launchbox YT channel has videos showing you how to set up emulator in LB. Launchbox is a front end for all your emulators, showing the games in for each, downloading the box art, videos, music to make it all look nice. It also has a BigBox mode for a fee (normal program is free) that you can use on the TV with a controller. It's superb.

For modern consoles, yes, sure.
For retro stuff ...welp, the scalpers will be real happy while the Developers of Studios that don't even exist anymore don't see a penny for it anyway.
(overpriced NES/SNES mini consoles are just the tip of the iceberg)
If you want to support retro gaming, there are better ways.
Support the emulator developers via Patreon/PayPal, buy those retro gamepads that pop up everywhere, buy licenses for Emu Movies or Frontends like Hyperspin and/or LaunchBox etc.
...or just supply feedback where it is needed.

LolageZ ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 20:13:15 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
Just use RetroArch, it's one launcher with a PS3-styled homescreen that lets you download emulator cores within itself as small dll files, as well as cover art collections that are automatically integrated for compatible ROMs.
For example, you close a NES game, it takes you back to the home screen, you can instantly launch a PS1 game, or any other console, and it configures your controller natively.
If there's a choice, you typically want "hardware" cores rather than "accurate" cores for the best performance.
Oh and it has support for achievements through the retro achievements website.
The only thing it doesn't support is stuff like the Wii U and PS2, you want cemu and pcsx2 for those.

Pretty much every game runs at 80 percent speed at best :( I understand though it's really hard on one processor to be doing all the work a Ps2 does with several processors.

How do you deal with game saves in an emulator? I just got into it and the N64 games come up saying no controller pack enabled and the saves are disabled.
BrujahRage ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 23:02:32 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
In all likelihood, there are settings in the emulator you need to enable to turn on controller pack functionality. In addition, most emulators use save states which basically captures a snapshot of your game's status at the point in time in which you trigger it.

Damn, there are people out there who actually don't use emulators? I've taken them for granted for so long and replay MGS every other two days and I didn't even realise some people don't even have any emulators. Emulators are the sole reason I decided I could cheap out on a laptop. You're really missing out on replaying some great classic hits. They're pretty easy to set up and there's tons of online guides for everything. PM me if you need any help.

I was big into emulators until two things happened:
1) Hard drive crashed, wiping out my emulators and my collection of ROMs.
2) When I went to rebuild my collection, I discovered that rombay had gone permanently offline. That was the only ROM site I trusted. All the rest were filled with bullshit pop-up scare-ware and/or porn ads and I figured I was setting myself up for all kinds of malware surfing those sites. And I wasn't up to sifting through all the garbage in hopes of finding another site as useful and as crap-free as rombay.
So I've been emulator-free ever since.

Nanaki__ ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 14:42:14 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
well there is your first issue.
if you swap to uBlock Origin in standard mode you'll be getting the same amount of protection (it runs on the same block lists) and has a few more to boot.
It also runs cleaner with a lower per tab memory overhead than ABP.
So maybe consider switching.

I know how to use emulators, but don't because I have to either get the ROMs off a shady website or dump them myself. Dumping them needs a custom firmware which is not worth the hassle. I'm just really paranoid about my security.

As I said, creating distributing and even selling emulators is perfectly legal (and moral) everywhere in the world.
I do not think Emulation needs to justify anything. Technology is only limited when we artificially restrict availability and usability. It's all just data flowing through circuits in logical paths and there's no use assigning any greater significance beyond this. Do it because you can.
Where you see problems with cheating and piracy, I see freedom. Freedom to run code without those artificial limitations; without being boxed into a proprietary system with a single user experience; to do things with a product without requiring approval from some CEO of a monolith company.

There does not exist any working PS4 emulator. PCSX4 is a scam and you deserve anything coming for you if you believe it and the Orbital emulator is not even worthy of being called an emulator. Just a bunch of basic documentation at best, a start up of a bigger idea at worst.
No PS4 emulation will exist as long as we are in the PS4 life cycle and only Orbital will show some promise once the PS4 is 1-3 years past its life cycle since the dev knows what he is doing.

I'm going to get downvoted to hell, but everyone, please don't get ROMs unless you own the actual game. Emulators are fine but ROMs are Piracy, and companies like Nintendo still profit off of their older games via virtual console, mini consoles, etc.. Pirating their games is directly harming the company.
I don't want to sound like a sticker. I play on emulators too, but it's only for games I already own.

There's a way to launch Dolphin and show only GC titles, then with another shortcut show only Wii titles?
Nanaki__ ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 13:03:09 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
program itself is tiny, just use 2 copies.

it's more convenient to have one single setting for both, also for updates

I hope most of those launch RetroArch with a preloaded core.

I hope not, because fuck RetroArch and it's awful UI.

Wait, they released it already? I only heard about them announcing it

I don't understand some of these, you're never going to use a wii emulator as much as you think you will

Most emulators run on a potato. What are you trying to play on?

Yeah but if you try to download games for it the police show up

actually in many places even making duplicate copies of software you own is still illegal
edit* wow. downvotes for saying something that is objectively true? cool.

I did not know that. In my mind it was always that it was legal if you own the thing you were copying and not selling/giving the physical copy away.
Is that like a per-state thing (in the US) or is it like different countries have different rules?
flyonthwall ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 13:35:37 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
i dont know. you'd have to check your local laws. But i recall that in new zealand when mp3 players started getting popular they actually had to pass a new law in order to make it legal to make digital copies of CDs that you owned. apparantly this is still the case in the UK. and many videogames treat you buying them as only "leasing a licence to play the game" rather than actually "owning the software"

Out of the emulators I've tried, only four of them have ever worked properly. Dolphin is filled with graphics issues, PCSX2
hasn't run anythinghas only run one game I've tried on it properly and all of the N64 emulators I've tried can't handle 2D things well at all.Nestopia has given me no issues at all (although I've only tried three games), VisualBoy worked fine with Minish Cap (haven't tried any others), John GBC worked with the couple of games I played that I couldn't play on my actual Game Boy, and higan is basically perfect in its SNES emulation, but they all have one common problem that's led me into SNES collecting.
Input lag. You won't know what you're missing until you actually play on a real system either connected to a CRT or to a decent monitor through a line doubler like an OSSC. I installed higan again to play a Super Mario World rom hack, and I had so much difficulty doing anything because everything I did was slightly delayed.
Edit: I thought I'd include a side-by-side of my SNES and higan.

Quick question. Are you using an intel or amd cpu?
Secretly_Autistic ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 13:57:33 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
Intel.

I was just wondering. I dont know about ryzen cpu's but the older am3 socket and earlier chips didnt have proper support for ps2 emulation. They were fast enough sure but they didnt have the instruction set support to make it run fast enough to use.

It's mostly just that things either aren't rendering or are rendering completely wrong in PCSX2.
Nanaki__ ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 14:31:08 on June 17, 2018 ยท (Permalink)
check the PCSX2 wiki page for the game you want to run normally it will have settings for working around issues.

Just checked:
Burnout 3 - nothing to fix the sky being black
Midnight club - Only fix for videos not working is to go into software rendering, which will make the game run at an unplayable framerate
Mega Man X7 - Apparently there is a fix for the sound being a bit broken
And I just remembered that Sonic Heroes actually ran fine, so I'm going to edit my original comment.

Black Sky / Shattered Car Window Effect is Missing
Status: Active
Type: Minor
Description: Sky is rendered black and car windows don't appear broken after a crash.
Workaround: Switch to software mode(F9 button), load an event, and then switch back to hardware mode(F9 button again). The sky will now be blue(although it can appear a bit bugged) until you restart PCSX2. Keep loading events in software mode to avoid to the bugged effects in the sky.

That seems like a huge pain in the arse that still doesn't completely fix the problem.

I should have been clearer, a good running PS3. You can't take RPCS3 serious, games run awful. You would need a Cell CPU in a PC to make it run games decently. You can say what you want, but not one consumer PC will run most PS3 games playable any day soon. I wish it could, but unfortunatly not.

i can easily run god of war and persona 5 with rpcs3 on my $500 pc
