There are 3 main things you need in order to emulate decently PS2
CPU with instruction setSS2 (If you have SSS3 or SS4.1 even better)
CPU Single-threaded performance
Graphics card with dx9 and pixel shader 2.0 support (dx10 or dx11 is even better)

If you want to emulate most games at 60fps get a desktop desu

According to videocardbenchmark.com you dont have much single-threaded performance. you might be able to run some games but at pretty low framerates. 2D games will be OK tho. Maybe switch to PSX emulation if there are similar games than what you want IE Crash Bandicoot, Gran Turismo

It doesn't matter how powerful your shit is, it will stutter on android. The fucking launcher on the Nvidia Shield will regularly hang like a motherfucker. It is a problem inherent to android and it is literally unfixable.

>android
>a commitment to staying open and empowering users
RMS is somewhere really upset because you posted that. Sure android is open source, but it is not at all for altruistic reasons, there's probably been like two fucking devices in the history of android with open drivers, and the vast majority of software that people actually use for it is proprietary as you can get.

Android hates your freedoms.

I would never even want a 3DS for emulation because it's so underpowered, but it's still the best thing out there. The point being that everything out there is fucking shit.

>> No.2861912

>>2861852
As far as empowering users: one thing Android has done recently is allow users to choose which permissions to give or deny to apps as they install. It's really encouraging to me that a major OS has decided to do this. I don't really expect the reasons to be "altruistic"; of course this is a business endeavor, but their business strategy involves passing more control to manufacturers and end users than you usually see, and I hope that pays off for them. This is in stark contrast to Microsoft and especially to Apple.

As for unpreventable stuttering: I assume you're referring to garbage collect. It is possible for developers to pay enough attention to memory management to avoid triggering the collector in their apps. Maybe the emulators I used were programmed in this way? I definitely would have noticed if an action game stuttered at a crucial moment, or if the sound stuttered; neither of these occurred, even on the slower machine I used to use. Come to think of it, memory management seems like it would be pretty simple to program for an emulator, since even N64s only have four megabytes of it.

>> No.2861995

>>2861912
Most emulators on Android attempt to mitigate the stuttering and audio skips with either frameskip or with lots of audio buffering, or both.

It's one of the reasons RetroArch does not fare as well on Android as it does on most other devices. It does not implement frameskip (in fact, its developers are ideologically against the very concept of relying on it), so when the emulation stalls, you sure as hell notice it. On other platforms, you can get away with 16 to 32ms of audio latency, but Android cannot seem to manage less than 64, and often you have to go much higher than that depending on the hardware.

>> No.2862038

>>2861995
Interesting! That would explain why I've always had to turn on a bit of audio latency for SNES and N64 on Android to avoid sound stuttering - not extreme, but definitely noticeable if you've played the same games on native hardware. I can confirm that the easier systems to emulate, like GBA, don't have this issue, which is nice.

RetroArch accepted donation, just not in monetary form. It was more like "we'll port it to a lucrative platform if you gift us that platform". A bunch of people were then sending consoles and tablets that would end up "breaking" or "going missing". It happened a number of times before they toned the donation thing down completely. Even if there was some foul play it's pretty small time. A few used 360s, PS3s and a handful of high end tablets isn't much in the grand scheme of things.

SP used to be active here and everywhere else and would drive almost everyone crazy. Some people would bait him and he'd swallow it every single time. A bunch of times he'd leave briefly swearing to never return, but after a while he'd be back. The last time he left for good coincided with the appearance of the batshit crazy everyone-is-a-retroarch-shill troll appeared.

I've been around their forum since 2012 (the old one at forum.themaister.net) and I never saw any of the stuff you're talking about. Only a few people actually donated hardware, with most of the devices he develops for came out of his own pocket. He's also followed through and ported RA to those platforms. The only thing I know of that broke was a hacked Xbox 360 someone had set up for him, but that's hardly surprising given the failure rate of Xbox 360s. Hardware donations are still accepted but VAT taxes make it actually cost money for him to recieve it if it's shipped across borders.

According to them, my Single Core Athlon 64 4000+ 2GB RAM 9800GT 512MB should be able to run some games, but it can't, no matter how I configure it, it can't even properly start the BIOS at full speed, and any game i tried runs a 2-3 fps even from boot.
Same logic applies for another PC i have which has the same specs except for the CPU being Athlon 64 X2 4400+ and the 9800GT being the 1GB model, it runs better, but still there's no game that goes beyond a slow as fuck 12-15 fps.

It will partially depend on the sd card you are using. (make sure it's class 10, it's easy to fry or corrupt cheaper ones) The Pi2 settings from retropie are the highest that don't void the warranty. I'm not sure I'd use a full linux build for emulation on the Pi2. It might work but you'll have to exit out of the x window manager likely. It's going to eat up a lot more resources than something like recalbox, lakka, or retropie which is purpose built. If you want a full linux system as well I'd just use 2 sd cards and swap them.

KMS supports any refresh rate your hardware supports. If you want weird refresh rates for arcade games you can have them. RGB output is likewise hardware dependent.

Mednafen probably (use retroarch). It is a mostly 2D game after all.

If you want muh HD for the 3D parts, then PPSSPP with Dracula X Chronicles works really well.

If you don't like the new translation and want muhHD then PCSXR or ePSXe are options too, though they will probably do something like non-integer nearest which looks pretty shitty.

Sounds like a bug in one of the games you were playing. Alternatively, you're trying to run the emulator on a post-XP OS without enabling compatibility mode, so things are breaking.

The problem is, I'm using the latest version of MAMEUI64, and it refuses to aknowledge the NeoGeo roms I have when I audit them, but if I double click on them, they work perfectly.
Pic related: most of these Metal Slug games should appear on green.
All I want is these games to appear in the "Available" folder so I don't have to hunt for them.
I also accept suggestions for other GUIs.

>>You're asking if additionally unstable builds of an already unstable frontend are better?
It ain't that unstable, at least on Windows.

>Retroarch is a custom frontend to third-party emulators, which already have native frontends built in
Not all of them, such as Genesis Plus GX that doesn't exist outside of Gamecube and Wii on it's own. Much of the time, it has more capability than the standalone version (custom resolution support, shaders, rate control, etc.).

>God knows they'll actually work the way they're supposed to.
Most of the libretro cores work the way they're supposed to. There's nothing wrong with Nestopia, bsnes, gambatte, beetle PSX, and other /vr/ related emulation cores. It's only some of the newer cores for 5th and 6th gen systems that are in active development.

>(custom resolution support, shaders, rate control, etc.).

Translation: It tacks on shitty filters that no one cares about, or hacks in something that wasn't designed specifically to work with the original core(s), making it even less stable.

You have a frontend that's trying to communicate with numerous cores developed by third parties. It cannot by definition by stable. Trying to make it communicate with one core is just going to result in bugs that affect how it communicates with other cores. Which is very much the case.

>Most of the libretro cores work the way they're supposed to.

No they don't. Has nothing to do with how newfangled the cores are. Retroarch routinely puts saves in the wrong directories and corrupts them, randomly fucks up controller configurations or refuses to save them in the first place, doesn't communicate settings correctly to the cores (frame rate, etc.) and inexplicably crashes. A lot.

>Translation: It tacks on shitty filters that no one cares about, or hacks in something that wasn't designed specifically to work with the original core(s), making it even less stable.

You're wrong. The cores just simply output a frame to the frontend, and the frontend handles all the scaling. This causes exactly 0 issues.

>You have a frontend that's trying to communicate with numerous cores developed by third parties. It cannot by definition by stable. Trying to make it communicate with one core is just going to result in bugs that affect how it communicates with other cores. Which is very much the case.

Wrong again. The libretro API is very stable, the ABI has not been broken yet. You clearly don't know anything about coding.

No it doesn't. Saves work fine, controllers work fine (especially with autoconfigure), cores display fine (nothing is wrong with the frame rate), and doesn't crash inexplicably on most cores (read: those that are not in active development).

You sound like you only used it once a long time ago and are basing everything off of one bad experience, because half the stuff you are saying is not true at all.

Nightly builds have some newer features than the current release, but they could potentially be less stable. This is the case with any software in development.

At this point, I'd wait for 1.3.0 release because it's probably coming up pretty quick.

>Can I just download all the cores instead of doing it separately because that's annoying as fuck?

Go to the buildbot nightly folder of your platform, e.g. http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/windows/x86_64/
Scroll to the folder called "latest" and put a checkmark on it, then go up to the top left and click the download button that appeared. It will download a zip with that entire folder's contents. Keep in mind that it's quite a large download since every core is in there.

Once the scp service is running, you have to plug the ds3 in with a USB cable for the driver to pair it with your BT receiver.

AFAIK, the only cores where you can modify that are NES and VB. You can also use custom palettes for NES and specify the anaglyph colors for VB. It's mostly done through the config file.

Hippy Chrimbus, everyone!

I just got a 3ds (New 3ds XL, NA version), and was looking for a retard-proof guide on how to hack it so I can play SNES and Genesis games.

I have been careful not to connect it to wifi, and haven't even booted up Zelda: Link between Worlds just in case it updates automatically or something. The current version number is "9.8.0-25U".

Any tips on what I should or should not do with this bad boy? I've found a few things online but would prefer not to brick this thing after owning it only a few hours.

You may or may not be able to access the eShop at any given time, Nintendo will most definitely nerf it with any firmware update, and it's just overall too janky for me. I still use an original DS flash cart for NES and GB/C emulation and it gets the job done and was $10.

I instinctively dowloaded snes9x for my new computer, but should I use bsnes instead? Is bsnes more resource intensive even in balance mode?

I've traditionally used ePSXe but I've heard mednafen is better. What's the best way to use mednafen? Via something like retroarch?

Yes.

>mednafen
Standalone Mednafen is CLI which a lot of people have trouble with. You could use it CLI, with a Mednafen-specific frontend like MedGUI or Mednaffe, through RetroArch or with a general frontend or launcher.

Alright niggas.

I'm about to replay one of my favorite games of all time. (pic related)

but i want to do it smoothly.


I remember a while ago someone made an overclocked version of 1964 that managed ro run Perfect dark and Goldeneye with 60 fps and no slowdowns , it was great.

I tried booting Jet force gemini in there , the game ran with a steady framerate with no slowdowns , but unfortunately 1964 cant emulate JFG properly (cant target stuff , some terrible graphical glitches too)

This was some years ago.
Hows n64 emulation nowdays?

Is there any version of pj64 thats overclocked and runs the games without terrible slowdowns?

Thanks in advance.

Per-pixel rendering as opposed to per-line. The former is how the SNES truly does it, but only one game in the official SNES library is affected by doing it per-line: Air Strike Patrol. Said game manipulates rendering mid-scanline to draw the shadow below the plane. Without per-pixel rendering, the shadow does not appear.

I believe Accuracy also always outputs 512x239 for some reason, while Balanced usually only outputs 256x239 unless a game specifically makes use of the pseudo-hires and hi-res modes.

So yeah, unless you're itching to play a single game almost nobody even knows exists, there's no reason to use Accuracy.

hey /emug/ I got a question.

How would I get a company to re release a currently unemulatable[/spoiler] arcade game from 1999 onto current gen systems + PC? There seems to be a lot of people that would play the arcade version over the dated console versions, but it's literally impossible for that to be an option unless it was re released. One other thing is that pretty much no one knows which company has the rights to said game although I'm thinking either microsoft or WB, but considering microsoft already re released hydro thunder, it may not be the former.

Where do I start? Buying a sit down machine has been another option that I've been thinking about too, but that gets really pricey.

If you need a highend machine to run retroarch something is already wrong. The code is clean and simple. In those resources something malicious can be hidden you'll never even see in the source.

the pcsx-r on my linux has no snap folder nor is any listed in the config file. the snapshots are directly saved in /home/Username which is really annoying. Is this normal? On windows the program has a snap folder. Why can't u define a snap folder in linux?

Yeah. I like the flatness of it. Right now my vague idea is to store a Pi 2 and some controllers in a case. Maybe a defunct console case, which I have at least one of, or maybe I'll 3D print a case. I'd like to be able to store the whole thing as a single unit, with wires and controllers in a separate compartment. So I don't want bulky controllers. this thing looks neat, and the analogue sticks lay pretty flat, but sliding analogue sticks would be nicer. Though I doubt there are many options for them out there.

Mario 64 is hardlocked at 30FPS. No way to improve it other than modifying the game code.

Use Glide64, and set the internal resolution to 1280x960. Play around with the texture filter settings, though leaving it in automatic is often best. If you get weird texture pop errors, you may have to mess around with the glide polygon offset setting.

Retroarch works perfectly on my Windows rig. I just installed it on my Linux laptop as well. I have two questions: 1. Why can't it scan game directories and make a collection/library? Also no recently played titles? 2. Why the fuck is the xmb all black and with missing icons (white squares)? I installed it from the ppa. Is this by any chance a bare minimum version of some kind? Do you have to download the icons like the cores and shaders? Or are you supposed to create it yourself a large ArchLinux?

Emulating MG is hard because it used fucking tapes to save and it was controlled with a keyboard. I would strongly suggest you just emulate the PS2 port, except you want it portable.

Anyway, I guess you could just use states and ignore the tapes, but I still don't even know what emu would be good.

I know you can use RA, but you'd probably have to make your own overlay for the controls, and I don't know if it's even possible to map controller input to an emulated keyboard for the PSP (if PSP even has a MSX core).

Anyway, if you figure it out make sure to get the English patch for the Japanese version for a better translation and 60fps.

I downloaded Metal Gear Solid: Integral for the PC.

I know this is Emulation general...but I figure people on here would be best fit to help. I'd like to avoid emulation if possible...because I'm lazy and lack a gamepad.

The visuals themselves work...the only problem is that there is no sound, and it runs in windowed mode, I've downloaded patches and that didn't seem to do anything.

I've got newer hardware - Windows 10, NVIDIA GeForce 750Ti

I've run the game before I upgraded to windows 10, and the NVIDIA card...everything else is the same.

I really want to play this game again...but I'm at a loss of how to solve my issue, any help would be appreciated.

Mednafen use proper rips in bin/cue, ccd/img/sub, and toc/bin format. If it's not one of those formats then it's a shitty rip and you should download a new one from a better source.

eShite and it's ilk supporting broken rips is why shitty rips and hacks that don't work on real hardware still proliferate on popular ROM sites. So the faster everyone drops hacky plugin-based shitfests, the faster we can force shitty rips out of circulation.
