whats a good atmospheric nes or snes game i can emulate to play while high af. preferably platformer

>>2709975
I second this question.

In college one of my roommates used to play Megaman X2 on vicodin, but I don't think that's what you were talking about.

>>2710045
that could actually be a good idea

whats the best nes emulator?

>>2709772
I want to use my DualShock 4 for emulation. I've tried to get it to work with SSF, but I can't seem to get it to work for the life of me. What am I doing wrong?

>>2710076
playing sega saturn games, to start

i really want to emulate spyro gateway to glimmer, but when i do there is no sound during cutscenes. anyone else had this problem and got a fix?

>>2710050
Depends on your OS really. Plenty of great NES emulators. It doesn't really matter as much when the games are perfectly playable on a few.

>>2710105
is there really a difference? im using win 8.1

>>2710108
I use a different one on linux but I'm just going to guess here. I've heard FCEUX and Nestopia work fine. It's not really a troublesome system these days like the N64.

>>2709975

i got u fam

>>2710116
I watched this as a kid but never knew they made a game. I'm going to have to check this out.

>>2710117
I remember it as a PC game before being a TV show. I think I was very young. I have only the faintest memory of it. I remember being a bit taken in by the "mystique." I think I thought Carmen was real.

>>2710076
Probably just a lack of support. I've been using a dualshock 3 for a while without issue. It's still fairly new enough the opensource community doesn't have decent drivers yet. Just guessing mind you.

I always wanted to bang Carmen as a child.

>>2710121
I think I was too young for that. But I thought she must be incredibly cool if there was an entire game with the goal of just finding her. Like I didn't know she was a spy or even what a spy was, just that she must be exceptional to have people "searching" for her. I think I wanted to be like her...

>>2710125

That fucking hat, man... If I could get her hat, I would drench that thing in cum.

>>2709772
Would a Raspberry Pi with RetroPie make for a good Christmas gift?

>>2710132
Only to a moderate linux or competent computer user honestly. It's the kind of gift that will provide you with a lifetime of tech support if you give it to kids. There's a flipside though. I've been running one for nearly 6 months without issue and have enjoyed it immensely. Make sure you use decent controllers and a class 10 sd card. I'm using dual shock 3's (wireless), the buffalo snes retro pad, and the xbox 360 (wireless) controller on mine. I like the newer dualshock for the PS1 games, the Xbox 360 controller for the N64 games, and the buffalo controller for the older games. I've heard of people using adapters with other original controllers but I didn't want to bother as I already had these laying around and the gameplay is fantastic.
>Long story short, like any gift it depends on who you are giving it to. It's likely too involved or complex for your average or impatient kid.

>>2710153
What makes them so finnicky? It was my intention to gift one to my sister and her husband for looking out for me last year, and while they're fairly tech savvy, they don't know dick about linux.

Ideally, I'd build and configure it myself and load it with some 8,000+ roms, and they wouldn't have to fuck around with any settings or anything.

>>2710172
That shouldn't be much of a problem. A lot of the testing before you give it to them will be. THey have multiple emulators on various systems. Some work better on certain games than others do. If I was going to give it as a gift I'd give them a backup sd card already flashed. Make sure they know they need to shut it down through the os and not simply flick the power off. Many N64 games won't work no matter how hard you try so you can't just simply dump the catalog on them. Whatever you do just make sure you store a backup image of the sd card and drive the games are stored on so you can fix it easily. Configuration can be a bit of a bear. 8,000 roms is going to take a while. Many of these OS's need you to drop bios files into configuration folders as well. It can be done and easily repaired but setting up "8,000" working roms will be a larger task than you realize. I'd shoot for maybe 3-500 popular titles across most systems. Once you've got that working well then decide if you want to go further. At any rate be sure to back everything up. Win32 disk imager is made for this.

>>2710172
Retropie works fine out of the box in my experience. Yes, it can be tweaked and improved, and it can be difficult for a non-linux user to do things even as simple as adding roms (the main partition of the SD card won't show up on a stock installation of windows or mac os). But if it were preloaded with roms and you were planning to use it with standard USB gamepads with a sane button layout (like a microsoft sidewinder), and if you weren't planning to attempt to use any iffy emulators, I think it would actually be fine.

>>2710213
>Make sure they know they need to shut it down through the os and not simply flick the power off.
Why? I do this on my retropie installation all the time. I mean of course you wouldn't want to end up shutting it off while it's trying to save a game or something, but I think at the root menu there's probably very little disk read/write activity.

>>2710172
At any rate I recommend this case. You want a gift to look nice and this one does. It's made by C4 labs and you can find it on Amazon.

>>2710213
>Configuration can be a bit of a bear. 8,000 roms is going to take a while. Many of these OS's need you to drop bios files into configuration folders as well. It can be done and easily repaired but setting up "8,000" working roms will be a larger task than you realize.
Care to elaborate?

>>2710217
SD cards corrupt fairly easily. If you have a backup of the disk image then it's less of a stress. If you don't then you'll have to configure everything from scratch.
>>2710215
Make sure to store your roms and games on a separate usb device. Use the class 10 card for the system and bios files and a separate usb for the games. SD cards corrupt easily. It will make backups of both games and the system faster and easier in the long run.

>Class 10 sd card. It does make a difference. Samsung evo cards are cheap on amazon and are simply outstanding.

>>2710223
PS1 needs it's own bios file dropped onto the sd card and many other systems. You're going to have to choose and store a preference btw one of up to three emulators on a lot systems for specific games. This means testing each of those roms, isos, bins, etc what have you one at a time so they just work out of the gift box.

Don't get me wrong, once you learn what you're doing most of the problems I listed are solved from the controller in seconds. Too make it work flawlessly for the new user out of the box is a different matter. Also no matter how much configuration you do titles like DKC, OOT, or Golden Eye on the N64 just won't work currently.

>Basically the whole goal is to deliver a fully working product I'd guess. If you want to use 8,000 games then you need to test them all and configure them individually.

>>2710227
>>2710245
All easy problems if you built the system but not something a user who receives it as a gift is likely to be patient enough to figure out.

>>2710076
Do you use "input mapper?" All your problems solved right there.

>>2710045
>>2710048
Seconding this.
Music is catchy.

Im Running OpenEmu 1.0.4 on mac.

I need an MSX Core

All my cores are ".oecoreplugin" file types

I found BlueMSX but it has no such file,

>can someone super please help me get an MSX core running?

This is off topic but I can't make a new thread in my phone.

Found a Starfox 64 promo VHS while shoe shopping. Is it rare? Looks kinda beat up but probably still playable . Lemme know! Thanks.

>>2713348
Where do you go shoe shopping? In local dumpsters?

>>2713358
Goodwill, actually.

Which I'll admit, is usually just a step above dumpster diving. But this is the equinox.

whats the best emulator for android?

a buddy just gave me a first gen Raspberry Pi
I was thinking about making it a emulator box
is this worth the effort, or should I go with a Pi2?

>>2713348
I found a n64 sports one at the thrift store, I also own the diddy kong racing one
I used to have the starfox one
they are worth about 10¢ lol

What's the best NES emulator?

>>2713348
It's not rare. The only way it might be valuable is if it's in good condition. So buy it if you want it, but if you were thinking about reselling it then don't bother, it's worthless.

>>2713874
FCEUX or nestopia work great. I prefer FCEUX

>>2710076
install www.ds4windows.com
Now your ds4 will be recognized as a 360pad and also work with every game / emulator that supports a 360pad

I'm looking for a decent Windows front-end for mame, ideally something free. All my research has come up with some... Questionable stuff

>>2715080
Hyperspin if you have time. GameEx if you don't.

>>2715141

Thanks bro.

Time meaning setup time? I'm not on a theoretical deadline or anything.

Are either of those open source to any degree?

I need some help getting Ultima VII working properly on my (year old) laptop.

Preliminary info-
I'm running Windows 8, so I may or may not already be completely fucked.
Also running the latest version of DOS box which is still a POS on my laptop.

There's an extensive bit of material on trying to get Ultima VII working decently that is available online, but I was wondering if anyone had any additional tips. Thanks!

>>2716016
Did you try blowing on the cartridge?

>>2716016

Try Exult! It works great!

Is the Dreamcast emualtor any good?
does it have any problems i should be wary of?

I'm having an issue with diddy kong racing in N64. It wants a specific rumble pak but I'm using a wireless xbox 360 controller. Anyone know of a workaround?

>>2717569
Using retroarch on the retropie

>>2714520
Those are good, but they are starting to fall behind when it comes to accuracy. FCEUX especially(all kinds of audio issues, doesn't properly handle half the CPU stuff, etc). Nestopia is pretty solid, but even then it only pulls 82% accuracy. The latest version of PuNES(0.97) is almost flawless, only missing one audio test and two video tests(power-up palette and scanlines), for a 96% accuracy rating. PuNES is the closest you can get to the actual hardware right now.

>>2713865

Pi2, drop the disgusting name/trip code though.

>>2710172
Bluetooth on the Raspberry Pi 2 is horrible, just horrible. If you use a wired controller, you'll have a good time.

>>2718103
Just use official controllers. The wireless xbox 360 is flawless. The wireless ps3 is flawless. If you're playing older games then yeah just use a wired bufallo usb nes retro controller. The truth is the original mario bros. plays flawlessly on my ps3 controller. The dpad is garbage on the 360 one so I just use that for N64 stuff. Those are the three controllers I own and I've yet to find a game that trio can't conquer. Wireless is awesome. Furthermore the quality of your bluetooth will be relative to your controller and dongle. Bluetooth transfers at slower than usb 2.0 speeds. It's not horrible. Just learn the hardware you're dealing with.

>>2718113
>*bufallo usb snes controller.

I'm having an issue running tracked games on retroarch. Specifically Ridge Racer Type 4 for PSX. Does anyone know how to go about doing this. I suppose I could always just buy the game but I wanted to try it out first.

>>2719753

If you have a PS1, get a mod chip for it.

Are there any flash and/or java emulators out there?

>>2720568
I'll assume you meant javascript. i was about to say "that would be terrible", but lo and behold, someone actually did it.
https://fir.sh/projects/jsnes/

the sound is incredibly laggy and terrible; luckily you can disable it.

in any case, a javascript-based emulator might be the worst way to emulate games.

>>2717393
Also wondering about this. Been wanting to emulate some DC games.

>>2709975
I'd go with Yo! Noid for the NES

Looking to emulate pic related. IIRC mame has trouble emulating it properly. Is this still a thing? Any other emulator out there that can give me VF perfection?

>>2717393
>>2720717
Well, let me give you two a rundown from what I've seen.

There's Demul, NullDC, and Reicast. Though I should mention Reicast is just an android port of NullDC.(Yeah, I know of Makaron and Chankast, but they are both crap and not worth paying attention to)

Be sure to get both NullDC and Demul. Much like how saturn emulation is a tossup between SSF and Yabause and Satourne, the DC has the same problem. Some games will work better on one emu than the other. So get both. Also, hunt down the DC BIOS.

Haven't really noticed any major issues, but other than emulating Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 and Soul Calibur, I haven't done much DC emulating.

As for which of the two is better, I find NullDC to be easier to configure and work with in general, but it could be a matter of taste.

Go for it man, good times ahead.

>>2718103
Even using a dongle sucks? God damn.

Whats the best way to emulate DOS games?

I have Dfend set up but its still a giant asspain to use and I can't seem to figure out the proper CPU cycle settings for each game without googling the shit out of it and praying.

I literally found the ideal cycle rate for Alone in the Dark from some archived early 2000's review blog.

Anyone else having a bitch of a time posting atm? It's taking forever and fails a ton.

>>2719753
Just coming back to ask this question again. Is there some special way to emulate games composed of multiple tracks as opposed to having a single .iso file?

How are Dreamcast emulators these days?

>>2723563
kind of like using a cactus for a butt plug.

>>2722642
Gentle bump for my question. Thank you.

>>2722642

Final Burn Alpha?

You can also try using a different version of MAME.

Anyone know how to get a SNES emulator working on fat psp running 6.6 PRO-C firmware? I tried several versions of snes9x but they either crash or won't open any roms.

>>2724297
I will give it a shot, never heard of Final Burn Alpha before, but I'm very new to arcade emulation.

Thanks!

>>2723305
Dont know if it's of any help to you but I got RR4 working just fine with ePSXe.

Is N64 emulation good yet?

>>2724356
No cuz there's no way you gonna get all those buttons mapped in a sensible way. Lol.

What are safe sites to get roms from?

>>2709772
Why bother with a pi when there's banner/letter bomb?

>>2724313
Did you just drop the tracks into a folder and it played or did you have to do anything special with them. I've gone ahead and unzipped all of mine but it's like they just aren't seen.

>>2724920
In my case I travel a lot for work. Lugging a console around would be cumbersome.

>>2724521
Emuparadise is safe. Just use an adblocker. You'll need 7zip and ecm for unzipping games. A lot of times after you unzip you'll have a .bin.ecm file. using ecm I unpack and convert the bin file to .iso

Another anon is currently working on this.

I've got my tv mounted on the wall. It's nice because it just hides behind it. Room feels less cluttered.

>>2723035
Dfend Reloaded IS the current best way. The wizard works on many games. I find it rare when I have to manually set clock cycles.

>>2723563
Forth post above you, you blind bastard.
>>2722924

>>2725079
>I've gone ahead and unzipped all of mine but it's like they just aren't seen.
Unzipped what? Multi-track disc rips are usually BINs and a CUE, you have them all in the same folder, you make sure the cue sheet has the proper names of the BIN files, and load the game from the CUE. What is there to unzip?

>>2724521
>>2725110
Did you people forget there is a semi-recent nointro collection of pretty much all the roms on the internet archive? No ads, no viruses, no captcha. And if you don't feel like downloading complete zipped romsets, you can check the 2013 nointro romset which has all the roms inside a giant zip which you can browse and download individual roms from.

Emuparadise is fine, but slow.

Romulation is actually pretty legit, provided you aren't in a hurry to download everything in sight. I signed up ages ago, download stuff every now and then, currently sitting on 40K points(40K Megabytes I can download). They even start you off with 10K, so you can grab whatever it is you wanted in the first place and then some. They have a very good selection of quality PSX rips, not to mention Dreamcast and Saturn.

I want to play Zork like game (its text based game. Like d&d for one.) On a Galaxy s 5. I can connect a keyboard but I have no clue how to get it on here.

All your files travel freely between devices without a cable. It does other stuff as well.

No. Use ES File Explorer, and just turn on sharing for whatever folder you want to transfer from on your PC. No need to install some crappy program on your PC to transfer files.

>>2725652
I like being able to text from my computer. You say crappy. I find it useful.

>Ask questions get answers
Will emulation really make you gay? My mom says only faggots emulate. I'd really like to be gay because it would make me special.

>>2725748
>Ask questions get answers
Women don't like men that maintain a trash dump of outdated tech for games they could play for free. It shows you're shitty with money and have a manchild mindset. Only b/c you asked.

Last time I tried running a Saturn emulator I had to install some shitty obscure software to run a virtual Cd rom drive, it was the only way to play the roms.

Too bad this software was filled with virus and spyware.

I heard the newer versions of Windows had the virtual cd rom settings built in the Windows operating system, Is this correct?

How is Saturn emulation?

>>2725863
>Doesn't give answers rants about own issues.
You might consider trying to become gay like me.

>>2725901
Windows 8 and later now have built-in iso mounting support indeed. This was long overdue. I've never tried it with emulators, though, I gave up on Windows eons ago.

SSF and Yabause are the two main Saturn emulator available. None of them are perfect, but you can definitely access a decent part of the Saturn library anyway and have fun. Stuff might break in game; if you're not familiar with the game, you either won't notice it or wonder why they're shit (when they're not on the actual hardware). I remember for instance stuff like static backgrounds in Wipeout, instead of seeing a "skybox" scrolling effect - this doesn't break gameplay but makes the console look weird in comparison to a PS1.

Yabause has made some great progress these last few years. SSF is the one expecting a "real" cdrom (hence, using a virtual mount point).

>>2725652
Will second ES File Explorer, I use that on all my android devices and it pulls stuff down from network folders just fine.

Is there any mini pc capable of emulating PS1 at full speed? rpi2? What about N64?

>>2726570
pi2 wors great for everything ps1 I've thrown at it. It does like 65% on the N64 catalog.

I see these RPi handheld consoles, and people say they run "x86 software," but does that mean stuff for Windows as well?

Also cost aside, is it even possible to run PCSX2 or Dolphin on a handheld device at all? I mean in terms of minimum requirements being able to be made small enough.

What laptop (under $500) is the best for emulation?

Are there any I can get for that price that will be capable of emulating xbox 360 games in a year or two when they have a good emulator up and running?

>>2728036
not retro
But I am a nice guy, so I will help you.

RPi can run Windows software, but it can't run it well. I wouldn't advise trying to do so either.

The only "handheld" that can run Dolphin at under 30 fps is the Nexus 9. The Pixel C, in theory, will be the first tablet to be able to run Dolphin at a constant, playable speed. You cannot emulate ps2 on anything ARM at the moment.

>>2728096
That's kind of an impossible question. If you wanna do 360 games find the hardware requirements of very graphics intensive xbox games windows already lets you play directly on your laptop then exceed those specs so an emulator can be running in the background. There's a few new models every month. "the best" changes so often who knows?

>>2728272
Rasberry Pi is a neat idea but I can't take them seriously until they move to a real architecture in some future version.

>>2729205
It's low power consumption and working well for me. You could just install retroarch on whatever architecture you want and use whatever front end you want. Linux is very versatile. More than anything else the retropie project is just tweaked for that hardware. It's all just linux man.

>>2729073
Ok well can somebody just rec me a good laptop under $500 that will work well for emulating with Dolphin?

>>2729256
https://dolphin-emu.org/docs/faq/

This lists the hardware requirements for running the dolphin emulator. Find any laptop under $500 that exceeds these requirements and you are gtg. There are plenty that will get the job done these days.

>>2729261
so basically an intel cpu such as the i5-4670K and i5-3570K are extremely fast and very affordable considering their relative power.

>>2729261
As far as gpu...
Compared to processors, choosing a GPU for Dolphin is a fairly simple task. The more powerful the graphics card, the more pixels and enhancements you can throw at it before you’ll see slowdown. However, the biggest thing to watch for is making sure the GPU supports DirectX11.1 and OpenGL 4.4. Dolphin emulates a console that functions very differently from a traditional PC, and uses the latest D3D and OGL features to reduce overhead. If you do not have those extensions, performance will suffer.

NVIDIA: Due to the importance of the OpenGL Extension “Buffer Storage” no NVIDIA GPU before the Geforce 4xx series can be recommended. Despite being a bit old, the Geforce GTX 460 will handle almost any game you throw at it in HD resolutions. Older NVIDIA GPUs will still be able to run the games fine, especially within the D3D backend and in OpenGL with older builds still using the “Vertex Streaming Hack.”

AMD: Unlike the processor battle, AMD’s graphics cards actually fair very well at Dolphin. As of 4.0-1192, AMD video cards see boosts around the board because of the addition of integer math. As such, the AMD HD5770 and should run most games at HD Resolutions.

Intel Onboard: Intel HD3000 and HD4000 can run Dolphin at reasonable speeds, and can even run many games with enhancements; but they will struggle with demanding titles. A full fledged graphics card is highly recommended. IGPs older than the HD3000 are not supported.

>>2729261
How much RAM do I need to run Dolphin?
2GB or more is recommended. RAM speed or the amount of RAM generally has no affect on emulation speed.

You'll be hard pressed to find a new laptop with less than 4 gigs of ram on a new laptop unless it's something like a chromebook.

You've only got 3 specs to check and you're gtg. Go out and get the best one you can find for your money. No matter which laptop some anon recommends with a little research you'll find a better one for your budget.

>>2729219
I don't really care what Linux can do so long as the processor is incompatible with mainstream programs.

Ok thanks for the information on Dolphin.

One question- I see that they say that most games will probably run fine with an i5 processor. Does anybody have much experience running Dolphin with an i3 processor? It seems like there is a significant price hike once you move up to machines with an i5.

>>2729367
I'm just saying. You can recreate the retropie project on most processors and hardware with extremely little work. It's just retroarch with an emulation station front end. All they really did was size down the total size of your image download by leaving support for other processors out. Like I said. It's all just linux bro.

>>2729369
bruh, I literally googled "i5 machines under $500"
This was my first result on the page of my first result.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010SBAJDS?qid=1444452250&ref_=sr_1_1&refinements=p_n_feature_four_browse-bin%3A2289793011&s=pc&sr=1-1

It's got a better processor than you need. A better gpu than you need. An 8 gigs of ram while they say you only need 2 for $449.99. It blows the hardware requirements out of the park. It's also got a 1.0TB hard drive. I'm not recommending this laptop as you can find better ones most definitely with just the slightest tweak to a google search. For example subsitute "machine" with "pc". Just rephrase your query a few times and you'll be amazed at what you find. Check amazon, google, tigerdirect, newegg, ecost (if they still exist idk), and other reputable sites. You'd have to overclock an i3 and I can't guarantee results because they recommend i5. i5's can be overclocked to hell and back but the one on this laptop already exceeds your needs.

>>2729396
It has a far better gpu than you need as well.

>>2729396
Yeah like that's mostly what I was asking. I was looking at that very same laptop and realized that this seemed to go beyond the requirements so maybe an i3 would be fine and about $150.00 cheaper... It wasn't really clear from the dolphin website because they don't even mention an i3. But I'll probably just end up going with an i5. I won't be buying for another 4-5 months at least. Things will probably be even cheaper at that point.

I appreciate your help. Obviously I have no idea what I'm doing.

>>2729426
I'll google fu for a bit and get back to you. Like I said that price is likely high. I'm a wee bit in cups atm so I might reply tomorrow. I've got chaos and room mates doing stupid shit going on all around me atm.

I'm op so I started this thread to be helpful. Regardless you will have an answer by this time tomorrow.

saturn emulation isn't a tossup. they are all shit besides ssf

Anyone have any experience with RecalboxOS? I'm fucking loving it but I just can't get N64 to show video. Worse yet, when I try to use the hotkeys to return to the frontend they don't work and when using a keyboard to do so there's no video on the frontend, either. It seems that trying to emulate N64 just fucks the video. Other than that it's tops.

>>2730523
I'm a retropie guy myself. I can emulate 10 more systems than you and use kodi for media. :P
>plus my N64 works O.o (rubbing salt into those wounds)

>>2730574
Recalbox does everything retropie does with a cleaner interface built-in along with increased optimization from not running on top of Linux. It emulates everything else I want just fine and has kodi built-in, as well. I've seen videos of it running N64 but I can't find out what's up with my config that has it so fucked.

So thanks for your opinion but it does nothing to help me.

>>2730757
It emulates 10 less systems.

>Learn to count.

cleaner interface? they both run emulation station. You can change versions or even the interface itself.

increased optimization? no... define what is increased.

retropie project is entirely open source. I can actually fix my problems regardless of what they are because it's built on linux. Enjoy troubleshooting something you may never be able to fix without a reinstall.

is xbox 360 still the best controller?
do all the others still require downloading shady drivers?

>>2731170
Define shady. Also your OS?

if emulation was edible what would it taste like?

>>2731170
I use a buffalo snes retro pad, a ps3 wireless, and an xbox 360 wireless controllers on my retropie. I prefer the 360 controllers for N64, the ps3 controllers for PSX and many other things. And the buffalo controller for everything 16 bit and earlier. To answer your question. No. None of these are shady.

>>2731176
Whatever having a vastly larger catalog of games to play than your average collectorfag tastes like.

>>2731170
Windows 8
I say shady because of that rumor of Remote Joy having malware.

if i was an emulator which would i be?

>>2730837
And adding on to his point, retropie runs Debian, while recalbox is based off some embedded version of linux, making it not as useful for things outside of its scope (Like using gpio for a screen)

>>2731201
DS4 is a good one and a recommended controller due to how good the drivers are for some things. There is one catch though: If you want to use it wirelessly, you NEED a bluetooth dongle that can be used with MS' bluetooth stack (meaning it works out of box without installing drivers manually).

>>2715141

Where can i learn to use Hyperspin? I have an arcade cabinet with Hyperspin installed but it broke down so i don't even know where to begin with.

>>2731218
You mean PS4?
I should've mentioned before I prefer wired controllers.
How comfy is it compared to PSX-PS2's? Is it worth the higher price vs 360's?

>>2731239
Yeah I do mean the PS4 controller.
It's very comfy. Some say it feels better than other sony controllers. It is worth it for the driver. DS4Windows (the driver) gives out features such as per-program profiles that auto-switch and touchpad gestures. I wish something like this existed for linux (ds4drv is close but no cigar).

>>2731239
Not the guy you replied to but the d-pad on the 360 is absolute dogshit. Everyone will agree with this assertion. If it's your only controller then the higher price is worth it. I'm the guy running 360, PS3, and the Buffalo snes retropad. As far as retro games go the The PS3 controller is the most versatile. Very few trigger controls back then. I just like the left stick placement on my 360 controller so I prefer it for N64.

>>2731250
Or PS4. No significant difference when playing retro.

>>2731170
If you aren't using the fucking D-Pad.

>>2731250
>>2731265
This go PS3 or maybe PS4 as your main controller.

>>2730837
It emulates what I want and then some. I honestly don't care about the legacy systems retropie can do. Since it's an embedded system there's more ram to allocate to strictly emulation instead of keeping an OS running.

>>2731218
>making it not as useful for things outside of its scope
That's the entire point of my pi. I want it as an emulation box and nothing more. It having Kodi is just a nice bonus.

>>2731380
How's your system running? Oh right it isn't :) You honestly don't understand how a linux os works. There isn't a bunch of useless processes and other shit running in the background like you would have with other OS's. It's a barebone OS retard and I guarantee you it's using less memory than your embedded nonsense in this case. I know what's running on my system. You don't. Stop defending your blind faggotry because you read something on tom's hardware.

Hi guys. What's the most accurate SOUNDING Genesis emulator? I don't care about timing differences or emulation accuracy, sound is the most important thing for what I need this for. I am sampling a sound effect to use in a song. I would sample it direct from my Model 2 but I don't own the game it's from.

>>2732212
Just guessing but Kega Fusion would give you a huge advantage due to its ability to log VGM files. Get Winamp and the VGM plugin and you can separate/mute any of the sound channels and pick out that sound effect individually.
Unless theres some other emulator out there that lets you disable sound channels from the emu itself that i'm unaware of

>>2732212
How important is it to you?

Unless you're trying to use some obscure Bluetooth chinese shit, you can have retropie up and running I half an our. Scraping the screenshots takes a while of course, but that's just if you want it. Once you've got set up, you can backup the sd card to a new image in case you fuck something up. Also, don't use shitty cards with a class4 rating.

What is the best method of connecting a Pi2 to a CRT TV in europe?

OpenEmu for Mac is awesome for the core pre 1994 games we want.

Some may be pissed when I say this...but you can drag and drop roms like iTunes for music and it displays them in an elegant way with title covers. I've only experimented with NES and SNES titles but so far the gameplay is fucking flawless. It picked up my logitech gamepad f310 like it wasn't a thing(make sure switch behind is turned to D.) And the screen has a floating bar for necessary functions(full screen, quit, save, and volume.)

One hour before I discovered OpenEmu I was fucking around with ZSNES and that shit was being a bitch. Could not set up controller, and there was lag in gameplay with the keyboard.

I used emulators on PCs for a long time but I have not on this old macbook. And I'm glad I found this!

RA crashes when I set it to display 3840x480 resolution
What do?

I have a question to anyone with a SNES still hooked up to a CRT. This is how CT looks like coming from an emulator. Is the area on the sides supposed to be brown like that, or does it actually come out black on a 90s display?

>>2732945
I'm a RetroArch fag, but I have to admit in terms of JUST WERKing, OpenEmu is actually damn good. Put it on an old Core 2 Duo Macbook, plugged in my DS3, dragged a ROM onto it, and everything worked out of the box without having to configure anything. It also rivals RetroArch in terms of performance, with close to no input or audio lag to speak of.

That said, I like having tons of shit to configure, and OpenEmu has close to nothing in that front. Its filter/shader selection is also very limited. And its 5th gen emulation is very barebones, especially N64. As such, I still prefer RetroArch. However, I still recommend it for people who don't give a shit about tinkering with settings or shaders, and who just wanna play pre-5th gen stuff.

>>2733403
Did you create a custom modeline for it?

>>2733832
Probably not completely black, but darker nonetheless due to having a higher Gamma value (either 2.4 or 2.5, not sure which is actually correct) than your PC monitor. Try using the image-adjustment.cg shader and raise the gamma value higher.

>>2734310
>How do I hook my PC up to a CRT?
If it's an old computer monitor, you'll connect it via VGA. If it's an old TV, you'll use S-Video or composite video, depending on what the TV can accept.

Either way, if you've got an empty PCI slot, your easiest bet is probably to get an old PCI video card with the output you need, and install it alongside the GTX. That way, you don't lose a head from your primary card driving a display that's never going to get the benefit of a modern GPU, and you don't have to dick around with configuring a modern GPU to drive a display that's horribly outdated by comparison.

One caveat: You're probably best off using a second video card that isn't made by Nvidia. I've had trouble with BIOS conflicts in the past when trying to use multiple Nvidia cards in the same box; if you get something like an old ATI AIW, you won't have that problem.

Launching RA with this 3840x480p config works for me on the 10/10 nightly build:

http://pastebin.com/vTbBYrKK

I used a shortcut with target "C:\RetroArch\retroarch.exe --config .\config\480p.cfg --menu" to launch it.

If you load the config within the menu, make sure you do so with your menu driver set to RGUI. It is known to crash if you load a config from the menu that uses a different menu driver that what is currently being used.

What are the basic bases to cover when a game doesn't work on your emulator for some reason? What kind of settings should I fuck around with first to see if it makes it work? I'm asking for PS1 specific but more general answers are also nice.

>>2735819
It really all depends on what you're doing. Answer a few questions for me and I'll be able to tell you.
>What's your emulator?
>What's your OS? (What's you're OS doing other than emulating? Try a fresh install if an infection is possible or you haven't for a bit)
>What's your hardware?

I'd need to know this before I got into specific settings. Anyone that tells you differently is an idiot. Give me these specs and I'll show you the resources I used to arrive at my conclusion and how I found them. Without these I'd just be guessing instead of providing informed possibilities. Tech support was done very similar to this in the dark ages. In all honesty, I could remotely log into your computer and figure out the issue in 5 minutes. You wouldn't trust an anon to do that and I wouldn't trust you and bother with it either.

>>2735504
Scaling reasons. Some games can change horizontal resolution at any time so using a super resolution eliminates scaling artifacts cased by fractional scaling. 3840 is a common multiple of 256, 320, and a few other common sizes that were used by games.

>>2735962
Not that guy, but it's also a way of getting 240p and 480i on modern CRT monitors. Check here for details:
http://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Display_FAQ#240p.2F480i_Emulation

>>2736416
That's a DA-15. Not a DE, a DA. There are both and they aren't compatible, so make sure it says DA-15.

>>2735098
Tweaking the monitor maybe required because some monitors may output too dark by default when you do line insertion. My monitor has the ability to boost color levels to maximum through custom R/G/B sliders (the preset 6500K and 9300K settings are only like 50% luminance) which compensates the brightness. The "brightness" setting often washes the blacks out, so only set that as high as it allows the blacks to remain black. Contrast was maxed out on mine already, but increasing that may help too if it isn't maxed.

The result should be really good after tweaking, with a bright vibrant 240p image with sharpness like that of a BVM, especially if it's an aperture grille.

there are portable versions of dosbox you don't need to install and run off a flash drive (as well as a million other portable apps) Just run a script after you start it and run it all from the flash drive. Easy peasy.

>>2739708

Higan if you're autistic, Snes9x if you don't give a shit.

>>2739728
what are the pros and cons of either?

>>2739739
BSNES/Higan:
Pros:Is the only completely accurate emulator.
Cons:Requires you to have something better than a Pentium 4 to run at full speed.

Snes9X:
Pros:Can run on a toaster, and run 80-90% of games fine
Cons:Controller setup menu is fucked up and tends to glitch.
The inaccuracies the emulator has means you can't play all the way through Super Punch-Out!!!(U)(game will crash at Mad Clown fight), and various other odd glitches and bugs.
Hasn't been updated to fix any problems since 2011.

I'd recommend checking out byuu's "Why accuracy matters", where he shows the problems. He does mention that Snes9X 1.53 has only 1/3rd of the problems that 1.52 had, but I still prefer playing games without having to worry about stumbling on some game-breaking crap due to an inaccurate emulator. I used to not give a shit, until I had TMNT freeze hard on the boss of level 5 thanks to a shitty emulator. Now I aim for the most accurate emulators so I don't have to deal with that shit.

Can I get a SNES emulator for my 3DS with ZSNES kind of features, like rewinding, save states and that really handy feature where you can search for the most recent changed value (given a pointer), which you can then alter that number to one you want? (you know the one, you have 100hp, you type in the value 100, go back to the game, you take 25dmg, go to the search prompt, find the value that changed from 100 to 75, then alter that number to whatever)

Yes, and that fatal Super Punch-Out!!! glitch STILL exists in the latest Dev build of Snes9x. It's being updated, but they still have no idea how to fix things.

I should have also mentioned a downside to Bsnes/Higan is the fucked up way it handles ROMs. Best bet is to run retroarch and use one of the BSNES cores, so you don't have to deal with that.

You could get a downscaler but I don't understand why you're having issues if you're emulating. I've got no problems. I just drop my tv in game mode and send the signal through my hdmi port.

Because scanlines and other similar filtering techniques mask the pixels on the screen, producing a much smoother image.

I never talked about pixelation issues. No idea where you got that from.

Pic related is what I'm talking about. If you play an old game without scanlines then you will see all the individual pixels as they are, which makes the game look like shit. However since the games were created for CRT screens they were meant to have scanlines, and so if you use a scanline filter you will get the result meant by the game creators.

Here's another example.

You do, you just don't know what it is or you're simply shitposting. Either way, I don't give a shit about you anymore.

>>2742898
I never gave a shit about you in the first place. At least we're both on the same page now.

>>2742903
Pixels are pixels, especially on fixed resolution devices like LCDs. If you don't see them it only means your display is so shitty and is blurring out the detail.

>>2742917
i use an led tv.

>>2742917
Whenever I turn on game mode they melt away.

>>2742939
Game mode just means disabling any image processing to lower input lag. Not magically making things look better.

>>2742954
Yet I still don't have these problems... Perhaps it's not the game mode that does it. Doesn't change the fact there's something that's utter shit that' s causing this.

>>2742146
I know, but it is not integrated in the sense of starting emulators from kodi. you have to do that by hand, and you need to know how emulationstation calls forth the emulators.

It's an interesting project, but first worry that I have is samba shares not getting picked up by kodi.

>>2742987
samba is often not included by default on many linux distributions. You may need to install it separately.

>>2742997
It's already there. Retropie uses samba itself for you to drop BIOS/ROM files on.

The problem here is my PC's shares not getting discovered by Kodi. Despite that everything is properly set.

>>2743002
Are you streaming the files? I stream isos to kodi across the network. If this is the case it's probably a router issue. It could also be the sharing permissions on the particular file you're trying to drop them into on the linux side.

>>2743014
Not really. This is for media so movies/music.
The ROMs are on the /roms folder of retropie itself, and the PSX isos on a single USB drive connected onto the pi.

Most likely it is indeed something with windows 10 or something that shakes up, since I know i have to authenticate to use the shares; but kodi times out on the connections while pinging the destination pc works just fine.

Strange.

>>2743024
I keep all my dvds as isos on the network. Idk man, like you said strange. I'll google a bit and see if I can help you out. Got nothing more interesting going on today.

>>2743024
If you have an extra sd card I'd see if you have the same problem using recalbox. iirc kodi is still listed as "experimental" on the retropie project. Recalbox emulates 10 less systems but if it works then it works. As far as I know it works seamlessly. It could be a windows 10 issue. I stream movies to kodi from a cheapo buffalo NAS as well as a windows 7 pc.

>>2743067
Might be worth a try.
And yeah, I did intend to set up an old laptop as a NAS for the PSX Isos & other stuff as well.

Being dumb I even tried a 2.5" HDD directly on the pi. wasnt a good idea.

>>2743095
My hdd works fine on the pi. It's a 3.5" with its own power supply. Is it a lack of power through the usb port? I was thinking of switching it over to an extra wd passport drive I have laying around. That's 2.5" but I won't bother if it's got a power issue.

>>2743123
yep. I've made the adjustments (on a pi2) to allow it, but the drive still reports trouble.

Then again it's one of those older 2.5" HDDs with no independent power supply.

>>2743125
Some of the older ones needed a cable that plugged them into 2 usb ports because of the power issue. That might be the case.

>>2743142
Tried that one but unfortunately the same result occurs.

I'm running the latest version of VisualBoyAdvance-M and everything runs great except that it doesn't save FF6 properly so I've just been using Save States.

I've heard that I need to Save and Load my completed game to access the end game content so Ineed to know, is there any way for me to save my game somehow now? Like some sort of fix I could configure or somehow just dumping my stuff into another emulator for it before hopping back after?

>>2733083
It does the exact same thing but better.

You're downloading software, not a hentai doujin.

>>2742847
For NES, PuNES is the most accurate, but it's still not 100% perfect. It is as close as you can get though, with possibly the exception of sound emulation. I've heard people say it doesn't do the sound chip in CV3(jp) properly. Your other two options are FCEUX and Nestopia, but both suffer from screen-tearing while scrolling, FCEUX is the worst about that.

As for SNES, BSnes/Higan most recent release or core is your best option.

For Master System/Genesis/32X/Sega CD, Kega Fusion is the only choice.

>>2743621
>BSnes/Higan most recent release or core is your best option
bsnes hasn't really changed much for all intents and purposes in the past 30+ versions or so. Snes9x is a good alternative for machines or devices that can't handle bsnes.

>Kega Fusion is the only choice
For anything that uses 32x sure, but there are a number of other great emulators for the rest of those systems. Genesis Plus GX in particular is currently top of the pile for Genesis and Sega CD.

How do MAME romsets work? If I want to get the lastest version of MAME should I search for a 0.166 romset, or can I just grab the archive.org one and call it a day?

Can I fullscreen GBA games on any emulator without it looking like ass. Are there any emulators that support shaders or is the best I'm gonna get is a scanline filter on VBA-M so it doesn't look pixellated

>>2744738
That grid filter is most 'accurate' because gba has an lcd screen. Your best bet is to just sit very far away and let distance do its job.

What's a good emulator for PS1 in linux?

How is crystalis? Been looking trying a few new games lately on NES but none have really caught my interest past the 2nd level.

anyone here know of a controller that works with the Playbook?

or even if the mini keyboard is supported by any emulator that can be side loaded onto the playbook?

touch screen controls are fucking horrible

>>2745289
I was like, "hmm, what's a playbook." Then I found out it was made by blackberry. Ouch. I have no idea.

Is there a way to emulate the direction pad on a gamepad stick properly (xb360/gcn) on snes9x? The gamecube dpad is way too small for my liking and the xbox dpad fuckin blows.

I can get the cardinal directions properly on the stick, but can't get upright/upleft/downright/downleft on it.

>>2745583
In retroarch there is a setting that binds the analog to the digital. Works perfectly for me. It's under input.

I have magic engine and a .bin file of Rondo of Blood translated, but the game doesn't show up when trying to load a rom in magic engine when I pull the folder up where it's at. I also can't mount it in daemon tools. Everything I found on google isn't helping, how can I get it working?

>>2745675
I don't use that myself but some emulators require you to have the.cue file as well. I usually just convert them all into isos myself.

>>2745661
thanks dawg

>>2745683
thanks m8, I ended up just downloading mednafen and using that instead, works perfectly.

>>2745279
Be sure to check out some of the romhacks. There's a bugfix/game balancing patch that really improves things

>>2723305

I forget the exact steps but it kinda involved several conversions (from whatever compression it was first into a single .bin). I'm unfortunately not on my computer but there are tools (aside from ecm tools) you can use to compress those several tracks into a single ISO. You may need the proper cue sheet at least.

Or just use the CUE sheet if you have it.

Anyone here try the new VR mod for the PSP emulator?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFEbMESRGVo

Wondering if I should get a DK2 for it.

Posted this in /emugen/, figured I might as well post it here too

Is there anywhere on 4chan for designated discussion about emulator netplay? If I wanted to play SNES online with other anons, should I post about it here, somewhere else in /vr/, another board entirely, or nowhere at all?

Is there any way I can speed up my N64 emulation, or with my specs am I pretty much screwed? I've been playing around with some stuff on my computer, and PJ64 (run through Wine) with the Glide Final video plugin (with best performance settings), seems to be the fastest for me. Perhaps there's something I have yet to try that worked for you though. My specs are as follows:
CPU: AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-58 @ 1900 MHz
GPU: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RS690M
RAM: ~2GB
Should I keep trying to improve or is occasional skipping and slowdown the best I'm gonna do?

>>2746561
Have you tried mupen64 or one of it's variants? It runs on linux so you wouldn't need to fiddle with wine. It's not perfect but a lot of titles play great on it.

>>2746574

Yeah, I tried Mupen64Plus. It's very laggy, can't get anything to run near full speed

>>2746603
I run like 65% of the N64 catalog at full speed fairly smoothly with it on pi2. Might be a configuration issue as that hardware's like half as powerful.

>>2746637

That could be it. What config do you use?

>>2746641
Whatever the default is for it on the retropie project. I never really had to mess with much of anything on it. It's specifically configured for the ARM processor on the Pi2 so I'm sure the settings would be different.

Is it possible to change the font Dosbox uses?

wii doesnt run ps1 or 32x as good as the pi 2

>>2747262
Also a better selection of controller and storage options. These wii guys claim its a better option every emulation thread but they don't take time to watch the systems in action on youtube. The Pi2 and most other comparable and better projects boards have been giving better performance/etc for quite some time. You try and tell them this and they call you a shill (despite the fact the Pi2 is from a nonprofit).

Not sure if this has been asked (I'm sure it has though), but I'm in a bit of a dilemma.

One of my brother's clients bought him an Nvidia Shield Portable as a birthday gift because he's into technology. However, he's never been into gaming so he just let it collect dust. I decided to buy it off him for 50 bucks because I've heard good things about emulation on it.

Problem is, I've never emulated anything and know jack shit about roms, emulators, and how to install/download/play any of it.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of what emulators I should get? I've tried Google and a ton of options show up. I figured you guys would probably know the best emulators. I'm looking to emulate the following consoles:

-NES
-Genesis
-SNES
-Neo Geo
-PS1
-N64
-Dreamcast
-Old Arcade Games

Any help is appreciated. Like I said, I've done a little bit of research on the system and from what I understand, it can emulate all those systems. I just don't know HOW to go about installing/finding the best emulators and I don't know how/where to get the emulators/roms.

>>2747616
Don't copy that floppy, anon.

>>2747616
As someone mentioned above, retroarch covers most systems in one fell swoop, albeit its not the most user friendly interface. I find Mupen64 AE to work flawlessly with the shield if you are looking for Nintendo 64 emulation. it even supports 4 player coop and hi resolution texture packs.

THE BEST WAY to hook up 4 controllers on the shield for some coop goodness is to first buy an 11 dollar MicroUSB OTG 4-Port Hub from Brando USB. You can now hook up a usb keyboard, mouse, and charge the shield all at once and still have a USB slot to spare! Now simply buy an xbox 360 wireless gaming receiver for Windows for another 12-20 bucks. Plug the receiver into the USB port and then you can sync up 4 wireless xbox controllers at the same time. Any wired or wireless 360 controller will now work with your shield so tell your friends to bring their own controller and you're ready to roll! (PS you can hook ps3 controllers up to the usb port as well. but the D pad didn't seem to work properly when streaming pc games from steam)

Using the method above i have successfully played some 4 player super smash bros in 1080p using hi resolution texture packs on an HDTV using 4 wireless xbox controllers connected to my shield.

>>2747702
Awesome advice anon! I'll definitely get Mupen64 AE then. Should I get Retroarch for the other systems, and Reicast for the Dreamcast?

Also, do I download those emulators directly from the Nvidia Shield's playstore? Also, where should I get the roms and how do I put the roms on the shield?

>>2747710
>Should I get Retroarch for the other systems

yes

>Reicast for the Dreamcast?

I don't personally know. I haven't tried to emulate that system yet.

>do I download those emulators directly from the Nvidia Shield's playstore?

Not if you can help it.

>where should I get the roms and how do I put the roms on the shield?

emuparadise is a solid source. You'll need to learn to use 7zip and emc tools but its all pretty straightforward and the site explains it well.

>where should I get the roms and how do I put the roms on the shield?

In their relevant folder. This should be painfully obvious once you've installed retroarch.

>>2747734
>do I download those emulators directly from the Nvidia Shield's playstore?
>Not if you can help it.

So I'm guessing I should download it to my computer, then just transfer it to the Shield?

Also, thanks a bunch for explaining all this to me, you're okay in my book Anon.

>>2747781
retroarch will cover most of them. Yeah just download that to your pc and transfer it. If Nvidia's playstore wants to charge you for a feature you could otherwise get for free then go for free. Why pay for something you don't have to?

>>2747801
Thanks, I just went to Emuparadise and downloaded a bunch of N64 roms. I didn't see anything about having to use 7zip or emc tools, though. All I did was download it, and put it in a folder I created named "N64" which I'll eventually transfer to the Shield once it gets here.

>>2747824
You'll encounter the need for those tools more with ps1 games. They use better compression techniques for the larger file sizes. You'll encounter ps1 disc images in .img, .bin .iso etc.

>>2747831
Ah, so I can't just transfer the .iso to the PSX or Dreamcast Emulator? I have to compress them first?

I just downloaded my first PSX amd Dreamcast games and they were both .iso files.

>>2747863
Just drop them in the relevant system folder. The only time you may need to convert is with .bin files and not always even then. Some emulators require the .cue file to load as well as the .bin. Isos should play nicely. Just wait till you get to the headache of certain tracked ps1 files. They can be converted to play nicely as well but I don't remember off the top off my head. I think I only ever had to do that for one game. Sorry for the rant. Just drop the .iso in the relevant system folder and you're good to go.

>>2747863
If they came in iso format then it's all right. What he said is that sometimes the game you download will come with the img file with a ecm at the end, like this:

game_name.img.ecm

In this case you will have to use emc tools, which emuparadise explains nicely how to use and offers the download link right at the game page.

>>2747892
Cool. I just watched a few tutorials on Youtube to go along with the information you're giving me. From what I've learned, I should be set for Wednesday when it gets here!

Is there a SNES emulator for Wii that does 240p? Not wanting to use VC cause I don't have a classic controller.

>>2748424
I used to have the same problems as you. Then I found a program called "romcenter". You point that at your copy of MAME(so it knows what version you are using) and at the folder with all your MAME roms and bios files, and it will help you get everything in ship-shape. It tells you the exact file(s) that are missing so you can find them. If the ROM file is Green in romcenter, you are good to go. If it's Yellow, then it may or may not be workable. If it's Red, you need to find some missing pieces.

The only MAME games I can't get to run these days are NAOMI bios games. Everything else works great. Been playing everything from Galaga to Metal Slug to Gauntlet Legends.

Is there anything that can be done about the crippling lag that ruins just about every emulator on the Raspberry Pi?

The SNES emulator has a full 4 to 7 frames of lag. And the problem gets much worse when you're running things on a slow display.

>>2749802

Raspberry Pi isn't for serious gamers or emulation fans. It's just hipster kit garbage.

>>2749803

Strangely enough I find the Ouya to be a better, stronger and more capable emulation device.

>>2749802

The lag is caused by shitty poorly coded emulators and weak hardware.

You need to create the directory that holds the roms. I forget how off the top of my head but there's a command or something. Maybe you just create a certain folder with permissions and it autofills. I forget. It's probably in here somewhere.

Those games are meant for small screens. You might like potato-sized pixels but that's nobody's mental problem but your own.

Is there any way to deal with the crippling input lag that ruins the emulators on the RPi2?

I honestly can't take this things seriously when even my decade old laptop is more powerful and has TV out.

So I've been getting back into emulation recently, and everything is pretty amazing now; however, I've noticed that when using a controller in both SNES9X and bsnes, there is slight but significant input lag whenever I press a button ingame, which for platformers is disastrous. Oddly, the only emulator that doesn't do this is good old ZSNES.
A quick Google search has shown that other people have had this issue in the past, but I can't find any fixes. It's not a question of whether my PC can handle the emulators, as it's pretty beefy, and I run Dolphin at full speed all the time. I hate to take up your time with this, but can anyone help me? I'd rather run games on a better emulator than ZSNES... (I'm running Win 7 64-Bit)

>>2751216
ZSNES has little input lag because it uses DirectDraw, which has little to no buffering.

The next best thing you can do is use RetroArch, run either the Snes9x or bsnes-balanced cores (preferably the latter, though the former is more than acceptable), then under video settings, set GPU Hard Sync to 0. This ought to eliminate input lag from video buffering. You can also try switching between the OpenGL and Direct3D video drivers and see which one gives you better performance, though be aware OpenGL is the more tested of the two. And if your PC is REALLY good, you can even try adding frame delay for an even further reduction. This last option is hidden by default IIRC, so you have to go to the Menu settings and enable Advanced Settings.

>>2751210
I'm not certain why you have a hard on for me guy. I've seen your thread and you keep referring to me as the Pi guy and claiming I've been posting there. I haven't and don't. I start and participate in emulation threads(not Pi exclusive threads). While yes I do emulate on the Pi2 (bedroom) I also emulate on my desktop, laptop, Nvidia Shield (living room), and have before on my Android phone though I'm not currently. The whole purpose of me using the photo of the Pi2 when I start these threads is due to the fact people kept starting threads specific only to the Pi2 when it belongs in the purview of a general emulation discussion. I get you're trolling and have fun. I agree that there are better platforms to emulate on other than the Pi2 but in my experience it works fine and performs as expected. There are many youtube videos you can watch that will demonstrate this. Have a nice day.

had me going there for a sec

Im looking into making my own acrade stick for retropie but the parts I find are more expensive than getting an already built one is there any place I can find cheap arcade stick parts or should I just buy a fully built one.

pic related thinking of this one for a built one.

If I get a Retron 5, will my wife let me sleep in our bed again?

Looking for some opinions,
What are the best emulators on psp for each retro console?

Earthworm Jim should be great while high.

just dump retroarch on it. Works great. Setting all of that shit up individually would take forever.

>>2752968
Retroarch psp is actually usable now?

Just got my Nvidia shield portable in the mail. Very solid little thing, and the emulation is beautiful.

Only thing that confuses me is how to connect another controller to it. From what I've heard, people can connect it with PS3 controllers via bluetooth, but I have no idea how to do that.

Any advice?

Anyone found a working n64 emulator for android, all the mupens64 clones don't render major as mask correctly, and OOT looks like $hit


PIC unrelated

Is there any way to overcome the crippling input lag that ruins most emulators on the Raspberry Pi 2?

I've asked this question several times and still no answer.

The SNES emulator has a full 7 frames of input lag. That's completely unacceptable. Imagine the casuals that are playing this stuff on slow displays, for them it's even worse.

I'm very interested in the NVidia Shield. I'm also kinda interested in learning more about the new shield console, and finding out if it would make a decent emulation console.

>no Super Nintendo
So, what this emulator is worth?

>>2753357
It's crap and it get's outperformed by the Pi2. As far as handheld portables go it's still the best option unfortunately. A better alternative is a decent android phone or tablet and a separate controller. It's the best for what it is but its still shit in that regard.

>As far as handheld portables go it's still the best option unfortunately

The N3DS is far better than the PSP for emulation. It can run emulators like Genesis Plus GX, Nestopia, CatSFC Plus, and even Final Burn Alpha full speed for a ton of games without needing frameskip, which the PSP could never hope to do. The only thing the PSP has over it is PS1 emulation.

No, use Xinput Wrapper for DS3. (Don't use Motionjoy, that's malware.)

>>2753382
Haven't checked that out. You may indeed be right. I don't really like handhelds myself. I prefer actual controllers.

Pi2 is weak shit hardware.

The literally sell that hipster garbage in the hobbyist section of Radio Shack. It is not taken seriously as an emulation device.

>>2753425
Works fine in the many youtube vids. Better options are out there. Did the pi touch you in a naughty place anon? Point where on the doll.

I decided to up my Emulation game and try to tackle some Dreamcast and Saturn games on my android device. Only having 2 problems though:

I have the bios files for Reicast in the right place, but whenever I try to download a Dreamcast ISO it gets downloaded as a RAR file. Even if I extract the file in Winrar, it just comes out as a folder full of smaller RAR files.

I guess my question is how to do change the RAR files to ISO?

>>2753278
What do you want to know about the NVidia Shield Portable? It's solid as fuck and has some really good weight to it. If someone broke into your house, you could literally bash them in the head with the Nvidia Shield and knock them out cold, then flip the screen out and play Mario.

The emulation is top notch so far, but I haven't gotten to Dreamcast games yet because I can't for the life of me figure out how to get rar files to become iso files.

I paid 180 for mine, which I think is a bit much for what I got. The seller claimed to only have looked at the system then put it back in the box. When I got it, there were scratches all on the back, a good nick on the R trigger (which causes it to wobble) and the A button is a little sticky (not as in residue, as in it sometimes sticks when pushed in).

I think the actual system is a good and solid one, and the screen is fucking gorgeous. I just don't think MY personal system is the best one out there, and I'm still waiting to hear back from the seller before I file a complaint to eBay.

You unpack the first of the .rar files and get an iso, or maybe a .cdi, it's been a while since I've done it.

>>2754704
That's what I did and all I get is a folder full of this shit.
