/vr/ - Retro Games

Not retro, fuck off.

No. What are you, fucking stupid? Literally the only thing PSP has going for it is that you probably already have one.

>>2784628
You missed a Gizmodo thread.

>>2784626
GP XD or a sub 9.2 n3DS are both much better emulation devices.

>>2784650
How is SNES emulation going there?

>>2784661
Perfect. You can even overclock the superfx chip on Star Fox to play it at a higher fps. There's a full featured retroarch port on the n3ds now that runs pretty flawlessly. Even many psx games run fullspeed now.

Shit, we should include this in the sticky, because once this thread a new one pops up, just like this.

But it's not.
The only things it emulates better than my phone are SCD and PSX. That's it. And it's not like I have some amazing top-of-the-line phone, either. It's an LG Enact. Actually, it might have been totl when I got it two years ago. Still, it emulates all my old games perfectly and it's super small. That makes me a happy camper.

>>2784661
I don't know why people say it's good. I've used several emulators for SNES on PSP and they're always shit in some way or other. The SNES9x port is especially bad. The way it handles transparencies is horrendous.

>Captcha: select all images with bananas.
>two images of yellow squash
O-okay.

>>2784681
I'm pretty sure he wasn't asking about psp snes emulation.

Best you can find on the market atm.

>>2786067

that thing is so heavy it's hardly even a handheld. have fun with that.

>>2786067
>>2786135
it's heavy, the analog sticks break, dead pixels, the wifi range sucks, hdmi out causes lag in-game, backlight leaking

>>2786135
Thank you, I'm having a blast with it.

>>2786156
My PSP had dead pixels too, every LCD screen is promt to this.

>>2786156
>hdmi out causes lag in-game
>buying a 7'' screen machine to play it on another screen

For what purpose

>>2786158

yeah, carpal tunnel is a gay old time.

>>2786182
Yeah, all those tablet owners getting carpal tunnels amirite.

>>2786194

yeah, because everyone holds a tablet like a big-ass game controller. your argument is invalid.

>>2784626
The PSP was always shit for emulation. Now it's outdated shit. Your phone is a better emulator than the PSP.

>>2786067
>Best you can find on the market atm.
lol baka desu senpai

>>2786214
>playing daily vidya long enough to get injuries
15 year old detected, you get what you deserve

>>2784681

There's a button at the bottom that let's you report questions with no valid answers.

The PSP is fine for PS1 and PSP games, and many PSP games are ports or remakes of retro games, it might not be the best emulation machine, but it's worth getting.

>>2786241
LMAO and here I thought JXD s7800b was gigantic enough you come up with something more retarded.

Yeah, if by best you mean bulkyness that one already won for sure.

Oh, and you have to pay 7-10 times more for it? And with 1366x768 resolution? Gamepad controller sold separately? What a steal KEK

Go buy the Surface pro instead, you know, with keyboard and mouse like PC games are meant to be played, you'll also look less retarded outside, 2 birds 1 stone.

>>2787195

Please just stop trying to justify your shitty purchase already... I swear that you always make the same post in any portable thread here with that goddamned gigantic piece of shit you think is so great because it does what anything that size should do naturally. I'll inform you again that the whole point of portability is pocket sized and comfort, you nitwit. While you sit in your bedroom at your mom's house with a KEEP OUT sign on your door, I'm near 40 and dropping knowledge on your ass. Deal with it.

>>2787238
Ohhh ho ho someone dropped the nut already, it was bound to happen eventually.

If I am having a blast with it, why would I care whether you call it shitty or get mad enough to reply every single time? Does it trigger you so much people enjoy what they bought?

Yeah, having 40 helps getting irritated with anything you see everywhere, that's the synonym of a shitty life. We are talking about emulation here, go get triggered on >>>/v/ instead.

And I'll inform YOU no handheld is pocket sized anymore, only 2 achieved this (GBA micro and PSP Go) and those are outdated by now. Market is leading to bigger screens (phones, vita, everything gets bigger and new standards are set) and if you can't live with that fact then you'll have a hard time adapting to new devices for emulation.

>>2787254

No one else wants that piece of shit. Get over it.

>>2786241
>>2786067

>>2786135
Then get the 5 inch devices?
Hell, get the one that's shaped like a 3DS

>>2787267

I bet you get those 5 inch devices ALL NIGHT LONG... amirite guise!?

>>2784667
>Perfect
don't start this

>>2787263
Oh, you ran out of arguments, good, finally.

>>2787272

if you know what im saying ;)

>>2786241
>>2786067
>>2784626
>using any of these

Good one

>>2787278
It's just a port of snes9x and catsfc. There's like two games you can't finish with that combination.

>>2787285

funny that you acknowledge that there are so many points against it. that thing is fucking huge. this thread is about psp sized devices. you really pull the same schtick every damn portable thread and it's documented in the catalog you butthole. google that turd of a handheld and you'll undoubtedly find your own posts.

>>2787354
>still replying

Even I am getting tired of this shit. I wonder if you're actually 40 years old, when people get told they're kiddos they will shrug it out unless said person is actually a kiddo and has to go all "im not im X years old!"

You can't even debate the pocked sized argument I made earlier (handhelds that can actually fit in your pocket, real definition of "pocket sized" people seem to have forgotten), only thing you could come up with was "hurr durr i speak for everyone when i tell you nobody wants that emulation device" or you're probably too afraid to admit times change.

You also seem to be a bit unclear to what the thread is actually about, it's not "psp sized devices", it's about fucking "best emulation machine", regardless of size. Only condition is no joints (like the faggot who posted a razer with gamepad sold separately), so my posts are perfectly fine, regardless of how much that angers you. I invite you to reread OP again in case you don't trust my word.

Good to know you're here only to shitpost, enjoy your stay.

>>2787384

then "the best emulation machine" (with a psp chosen for a pic) is obviously the best laptop he can afford and /thread. eat a dick for trying to justify absolute nonsense and goodnight.

>>2787393
I remember the first time I did this, it was on my PSP, never blindly updating again until I make sure all my shit will work next update.

>>2787384

Why don't you shove a hot "pocked" in your mouth and just stfu already, anon.

You're confusing my post with those from your arch rival, you faggot. Please leave me out of your lover's quarrel.

>>2787443

it's called bait, you moron.

>>2787448
Everything is bait nowadays, nobody can defend themselves anymore without repeating the same shit everytime and making everything mainstream, thank god hiroshima nagasaki has been filtering words, next we need a "underrated" filter.

post that s7800 in one more thread and see wtf happens to your internet connection, bitch. we got your ip now.

>>2787454
Literally pic related: the post.

>>2787454
I'm behind seven proxies, bitch

It's not the best, but it's a good choice for many people.

PROS:
-Extremely cheap and readily available. If you want a cheap smartphone that's good for emulation you need to go to Ebay or something, while you can just buy a PSP at a second-hand store (or you may have one lying around). It's probably the only $20-30 emulation device that's so easy to find.
-Can do most retro consoles very well. NES, SNES, GB/GBC/GBA, Sega MS, Megadrive, TG16,...
-Homebrew is easy to run and emulators are easy to use.
It's probably the least-effort emulation device. Android emulators have ads or require you to put in more effort to jailbreak your phone.
-Can run PSX flawlessly, and PSP. A lot of phones are not powerful enough for the latter, and although PSP is not a retro console it has a shitton of great PS1 and PS2 ports.
-Physical controls. Only a small advantage as many Android devices have physical controls as well.

CONS:
-Can't do N64, Dreamcast or Saturn emulation.
-Not multi-purpose like a phone would be.
-No touch screen, so retro PC games that require the mouse are more difficult.
-SNES emulation is far from perfect, but good enough for most games.

So, there you go. Don't care about 3D games aside from PS1? Don't want to put in too much effort or spend too much money? Get a PSP. Do you have 100-200 bucks to burn on a more powerful emulation device? Get an Android device with a gamepad.

Does the slim/lite PSP carry the same emulating functionality/ability as the regular one?

>>2787548
No idea brah, I guess they do carry same functionality, although regular PSP (fat) has a shit battery so it's always optimal to go for the PSP 3000 (they all can get custom firmware so no problems there).

Only difference I have heard is with the PSP Go, that can go a bit further than 333mhz, which could push a few games into playability (mario 64 for example) but that's about it.

What about Xperia Play guys? Has anyone tried pushing its limits? What games can it run that PSP can't?

>>2787494

sorry sir u are in the wrong thread we're just b8ing here

>>2787578

None. PSP is better hardware. Xperia play also gets damaged easily (broken flex cables and non-responsive touch screens etc)

>>2787458

Literally pic related: you in every single thread.

>>2787723
They should really make a new one, with updated software and hardware, probably a "Sony play" since they disbanded from Xperia. Retarded name tho.

>>2784626
Wii exists

>>2787578
Xperia Play is my primary handheld emulation device. Overclocking is pretty simple and there are tons of emulators available for Android that are unavailable for PSP, as well as continually being worked on.

>>2787723
Uhhh okay. The X-Play is about 85% identical to PSP Go with the exception of having dual analog inputs, four shoulder buttons and a touch screen. Also, while relatively underpowered by modern Android standards it's much more powerful than a PSP. One might prefer the PSP's nub to the touchpads and I suppose that a Go's plastic screen guard getting cracked bears less impact on the device's function that a Play's digitizer getting cracked, but only because of how dramatically less functional a PSP is to start with.

I'm fine with them getting badmouthed though since it keeps them cheap.

>>2788175

what keeps them cheap is the fact that they don't even last a year.

>>2788018
It's not portable.

>>2788204
idk how about newer models, but my phat lasted a nice 3 years of intense usage, d-pad and x/square are quite worn-off, but the entire thing technically didn't stop working. nub is surprisingly good for 2d too.

>>2788204
wait, i didn't catch the context. i had an xperia play as well and yeah, this thing isn't as durable. mine lasted 1,5 years before i had to replace it, as issues with screen arose.

>>2788204
Okay... They haven't been made for like three years - lots of people's including mine's lasted fine but I'm an adult. That's subjective/anecdotal but I also watch them on eBay pretty closely and you rarely see ones with ribbon cable related failures. I don't really know what you're basing that on. Did you have one and sit on it all the time or something?

>>2787353
Which ones?

>>2787393
>>2787393
Wot

Jailbroken iPhone 6S Plus with the upcoming GameVice for iPhone controller. The controller clips on the iPhone's sides and makes it look like a PSP. Has no select button but has L2, R2 and two clickable analogs. It is simply the best, just wait for the controller.

>>2788439
>iPhone with controller
>no joints
Do you ever read?

>>2788493
also

lemme just sign up for a 2 year contract and monthly plan or $800 flatout plus the price of the controller (that isn't even out yet) just to emulate video games

fucking retard

>>2788505
Maybe an iPod Touch could work as well?

>>2788439
yeah but buying an iphone is never a good idea, ever

Consider me for your emulation machine.

>>2788624
No thanks, Xbox OG is a fire hazard.

Couldn't you just get a Vita instead?

>>2788806
Doesn't Vita afford less emulators than New 3DS?

>>2788624
I have an Xbox hueg that has a broken disc drive.
Can I still use it as an emulation machine?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVvQbJMe79o

>>2788806
I heard Vita can't be reliably modded yet for PS1 & PS2 games yet, someone tell me I'm wrong!

>>2788893
Yes. Youtube coin ops 6

>>2788893
You need to be able to boot a game from disc at least once to perform a soft mod.

Watch out for the kekberry pi shills

It's been a while for me, but how is emulation on the Wii nowadays? Has everything been transferred over to the Wii U successfully as well?

>>2786159

Are we allowed to discuss sites for downloading PS1 and PSP iso?

That would be the PC

>>2784626
>As for the end of the 2015 I is still too not right sentence make.

>>2789965

Last I tried the Wii is pretty fucking versatile for emulation.

So why can't the PSP emulate SNES correctly?

>>2790656
What about dosbox? Does it run smooth?

>>2790359
Yeah we can, what do you want to know.

>>2790325
You forgot your pillz

I have a few things to add.

1) Yes, the PSP is a great device, if you're looking to spend $50-100 on something portable. There's really nothing better in that price range.

2) Strongly consider the PSP Go. It may not have a UMD drive, but those were worthless for anything other than surprise shuriken attacks anyway. It may not be permanently CFW-able, but that's partially irrelevant because you can sign your own executables for PSP nowadays. Plus, you can re-run the CFW installer whenever you want from the device itself, and you only have to redo it when you power the device off and back on (sleep mode DOES NOT COUNT). Seriously, literally every shortcoming of the Go relative to the other models was alleviated by CFW and self-signed executables.

3) If you have a bit more money, keep an eye out for the Shield Portable. It's slightly too chunky to be pocket-sized (unless you're wearing cargo pants), but it's really easy to stow in anything else. It's pretty much the penultimate Android-based gaming device, build quality and all. You'll almost definitely be happier with it than those shitty JXDs.

4) I know this goes against some of you guys' core beliefs, but if you do elect to do your emulation on an Android-based device, consider paying for emulators, particularly Broglia's .emu series of apps. They run really well, get regular patches/updates, and even offer support for Android TV (i.e. Nexus Player), if you're into that too.

>>2790835
>$50-100
Oh God. The eBabys are out in force tonight

>>2791001

It's not that, it's just that I personally wouldn't buy anything other than a Go, which tends to run a little higher.

>>2790736
Too weak, possibly.
The only reason it plays PSX games because it is a portable PSX somehow.

>>2784626
3DS exists now

>>2791059
3DS can't even emulate GBA properly on its own, can it?

>>2790454
>nobody can like that

He could hot swap the HDD.

>>2791451

Why does what another man thinks about your gaming toy affect you so much?

>>2791895

Why does what another man thinks about a gaming device affect YOU so much?

>>2791884
It'll always have some use for me as long as this is true. A ton of multiplatform games that generation never came to PC, and the xbox versions were by far the best.

>>2792802

What.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3u6gUSlfjE

>>2791368
Not only does it play gba roms.natively it also emulates them full speed with filters.

>>2784626
No the only thing they have going for them these days is that they are extremely cheap and can play most PS1 games extremely well.

>>2786241
That seems like it'd be awful when it comes to making precise inputs on the dpad.

>>2788624
Sorry but I'm too lazy to open you up and take everything out just so I can reach the motherboard and remove the shitty capacitor Microsoft shoved into you that is a ticking time bomb.

U watching children in need m8?

>>2793637
I looked into this. Is this fixable if they leak? I've been wanting to get an xbox just to dick around with homebrew, but I wasn't planning on getting one soon. Or should I find one before it's too late?

>>2793686
Once they leak you're fucked unless you catch it like RIGHT when it starts happening.

>>2790785
I've tried Lemmings and Rayman 1. Lemmings ran fine, but I couldn't get Rayman to fullspeed.

>>2791368
Correction: the NEW 3DS exists. The original 3DS (and the 2DS for that matter) are ass for emulation, even worse than the PSP.

>>2794262
Literally what has been going on ITT

>>2788624
is there a dreamcast emulator for this thing? i tried looking around but couldnt really find anything

>>2794361
>worse
The PSP can handle Genesis, SNES, GBA, and PC98 emulation.

>>2795556
Uh, ok? The statement stands. The O3DS is worse than the PSP. But the N3DS absolutely slaughters both. Where PSP has to use Picodrive and a port of Snes9x based on version 1.39, the N3DS can handle Genesis Plus GX and CatSFC Plus (a port of Snes9x 1.42 with the accurate sound engine found in BSNES), not to mention CPS1/2 and Neo Geo through Final Burn Alpha. All with no frameskip. Only thing the PSP has over it is PS1 emulation since it's partially hardware-based, and that actually almost runs full speed on N3DS, too.

>>2795542
Don't think the OG Xbox is powerful enough.

>>2795590
O3ds has a better port of picodrive and a better port of pocketsnes that run full speed now with dsp corrected audio. And it can run gba games natively. But ps1 emulation is nice. The n3ds is pretty close to full speed. It will be full speed once the hardware renderer is implemented

Android true believer here, but I did a little playing around on some real GBCs recently and it made me a little envious of you guys that have the Dingoos and shit like that with those low native resolution screens so I've been shopping around for quite some time to get a deal on a 640x480 4:3 Android. Just picked up this Motorola Flipout for under $10 and got CM7 onto it. It really does give games a pleasant organic texture.

>>2794262
You, you're a faggot.

PSP for PS1 and NES
Revo K1 for GBA and GB
Computer with original controller/adapter for everything else.
As for SNES, nothing portable emulates it properly other than phones running android, but maybe the successor to the open pandora will change that.

>>2798438
>Revo K1 for GBA and GB
Why the hell in the world I would ever buy this since I can have GBA and GB emulation with DSLite?

>>2798510

I have trouble getting ppsspp run like the original hardware.
I tried everything, the dithering looks like on the right side though. But the original PSP dithers like on the left.
Any advice?

>>2799929
Silent Hill isn't a PSP game. The effect you're showing is caused by the internal rendering resolution but I have my doubts that's what problem you're experiencing.

>>2787353
That's not the definition of perfection.

>>2799941
Used this just as an example. Here's a comparsion of Peace Walker between PSP and PS3. I just wanted to know if there's a way to get the same results (dithering) as playing on an psp.

>>2800014
It's not dithering it's the rendering resolution

My bae. Emulation on the 3DS is getting very good. Everything I have thrown at it has worked great. Updated daily too.
