/vr/ - Retro Games

bSNES/Higan or SNES9x-Next.

>ZSNES
Well, I guess that's /vr/ material, huh.

>>1462297

I only use ZSNES because I want to keep the authentic emulation experience.

You had one job.

Only if you use the 0.150 ver, OP. Then you can call yourself a true retrogamer® dude.

>>1462332
What. The. Fuck.

I've used all of them over the years. I usually switch between them when the one I'm using starts to annoy me. Right now I'm pretty happy with BSNES.

>>1462332
Those sound effects are like the 100% authentic (it said it on the cart) Mario/Sonic adventure game my uncle brought back from China in the 90s

RetroArch bsnes core, CRT monitor

I knew about emulation 12 years ago, Zsnes was the very first emulator I used, been using it since then and never had a problem.

Does anyone know what emulator they use on here?

Exactly this, haha. I carried around 1.4 MB floppy disks with ZSNES and a zipped selection of ROMs during high school (graduated '03). (Floppy disks were obviously outdated at that time, but so were the PCs there). Off-hand, I know that ZSNES does something weird on one of Sabin's flex moves or whatever, like when a character vertically moves off-screen during battle, but otherwise no problems. The ability to adjust fast-forward speed, hot-map the fast-forward function to a key, and hot-map turbo buttons to other keys is great. Useful in JRPG dungeon slogs when either there's cursor memory, or else you can just win battles using everybody's basic fight command. For most non-boss battles during the last third of Chrono Trigger, I could just hold down fast-forward and A-button turbo, and they were over in 5 sec.

>What is the best way to bait /vr? I prefer using ZSNES

>>1462285
I use SENSZ, its better. try it out OP

>>1462285

I know that /vr/ shits on zsnes but I still run it for nostalgia purposes.

What separates snes9x next from the normal one?

I've always used ZSNES, but now that I'm using a Windows 8.1 laptop I'm looking for something newer. Probably one of those 64bit emulators or that thing called Retroarch.

I might try figure out how to wirelessly connect my ps3 controller to my laptop so I can play this stuff on my TV with an HDMI cord.

>>1462429
It's a proprietary Flash-based emulator.

>>1462998
Autism.

>>1463070
So, just tiny little details?

>>1463026
>wireless
bluetooth? or is that just for ds4

>>1462289
>higan

>>1462960
I use it because I like the UI, and that's really about it. I've seen /vr/ shit on people for that, like, saying anyone who uses ZNES is only using it for the UI, but I don't see how that isn't a valid reason.

If I care about total accuracy, well, I still own all my shit from back then, and it all still works. I can just play it on my old 80s TV. It's not hard.

>>1462285

Seems to me it has been a while since you used emulator and now prefer bitching about them on bards because you are bored

>>1463145

bluetooth

After I posted that I found out I could just hook my ps4 controller up to my laptop and use it right away. It is soooo much less of a hassle to play games now because I don't have to deal with motionjoy or some other annoying process to get a ps3 controller to work with this thing. If I can figure out how to get the ps4 controller to connect with bluetooth I'll be freaking set.

The killer feature of emulation, right here. Random encounters every two steps? Miles of backtracking? Repeated, unskippable cutscenes? Fuck 'em, I have a Tab key.

Oh, goodness. What happened to Tetris Attack?

>>1463186
This.

For a group of people into retro stuff, people sure do seem to hate retro UIs around here. I constantly see ZSNES catch flak for its "90s interface".

>>1463902

Jesus fucking Christ. It's uncanny how much some of those noises sound like the horns of cars and trucks. It's like you took a laptop and started playing Tetris Attack in the middle of an intersection.

ZSNES can not into emulation. It doesnt reproduce the function of anything and its attempt at imitation is sad frankly.

>>1463906
That UI was shit even when it first came out sorry to burst your bubble. Whats to like about that gimped ui though?

>>1463942
It's easy to navigate and looks nice.
The snow effect is pretty cool, as well.

>>1463950
9x was always easier to navigate because it looked like any other program you ran on windoes. The mouse also skates around like its on fuckin ice in their UI

>>1463939
It plays SNES games.
What do you want from your SNES emulator anon?

zsnes always worked fine for me and i like the interface/low cpu usage. if i cared about 100% perfect emulation i'd go play my super nintendo.

>>1462998
next is a speedhack version based on older snes9x code. only intended for low-power devices, it's much less accurate than mainline snes9x and i have no idea why the guy would suggest it unless he saw "next" and just assumed it was an improved fork like an idiot

>>1463803
plebs like you are what killed games

>>1462285
bsnes/higan is better in my opinion

zsnes still got best "tv mode" and you can make many adjustments to it

>>1464372
it's funny because he's skipping basically a plebeian job

>>1464372
I'm not getting anything valuable out of watching some dialogue three extra times, or by pressing x to win more slowly than necessary. Those are just dead zones between gameplay that's challenging and story information that's new.

Argue all you want about accuracy, input lag, filters, save states, whatever. But don't tell me I have some kind of moral obligation to spend the finite leisure time in my finite life being bored.

>>1464551
>don't tell me I have some kind of moral obligation to spend the finite leisure time in my finite life being bored.
No, that was exactly my point. If you find the games that boring you should be playing something else.

People who don't like a game/genre should keep away rather than forcing their way through and then proceed to complain about the "boring" bits they had to suffer. Widespread feedback like that has turned most of the modern big-budget output into challenge-less, streamlined piles of shit.

>>1464365

It has SuperFX overclocking too.

>>1464551
>said I hate forced cutscenes
>said I hate streamlined "mash X to win"
>said I just want the challenging gameplay

Sorry guys, it was all my fault.

>People who don't like a game/genre should keep away rather than forcing their way through

I used to, but emulation has unlocked the fun in games with fastforwardable slogging.

May be a strange question, but are there any mods, or something, that let you play as Luigi first in the All-Stars games? I hate having to select 2 player and then kill mario off every time.

do other emulators have graphics enhancement like zsnes does?

>>1464647

actually people should just play what they want how they want without other people that have no investment in the situation sperging out about it.

>mfw retards still using zsnes due to the fucking ui

>>1463186
>I don't see how that isn't a valid reason.

wrong retard

there's a libretro frontend that mimics zsnes ui so that you tryhards can play bsnes using zsnes ui

there is no reason for you to use garbage like that emulator

>>1463167
>people are actually shilling this piece of shit

my fucking SIDES.

pls

>>1465006
are you fucking kidding me faggot

>>1465020
I kind of like ZSNES interface, even if I never use the emulator anymore. Maybe it's just because it was the first emulator I ever used, and for some reason its blue/purple filter and orange cursor still seems like a magical entity to me.

It also taught me what directories were, back in the day.

>>1465026
How about you answer the question?

>>1465042
>do other emulators have graphics enhancement like zsnes does?
>can other emulators do what little zsnes can do?
>does zsnes have anything exclusive to it?
>does zsnes have any worth at all

I still use ZSNES because I know some neckbeard here has killed himself over it, either via heart attack or by hanging himself.

Feels good man.

>>1465047
explain in what way are graphics enhancement features are better on other emulators

going to keep on using zsnes solely because it annoys neckbeards

>>1465103
i aint even annoyed, i don't emulate snes. i just don't get a lot of excuses to post this video

Bsnes if you have a decent computer that can run it. Snes9x if you are using a toaster.

>>1464647
From the sounds of it he's playing exactly that. You can beat modern Final Fantasy games by moving and doing the equivalent of press A.

God damn it
