Are the emulators good?

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 30 03:35:15 2016 No.3393962 It's literally just fucking Retroarch. Expect a little bit of handwork to get everything to work right, but when it does it's pretty effective and quick.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 30 08:52:31 2016 No.3394214 >>3394202 Nintendo built the hardware, made the games and employs professional testers.

>>	Anonymous Mon Aug 1 15:27:53 2016 No.3398629 >>3393210 How well does that thing actually work?

>>	Anonymous Tue Aug 2 08:55:28 2016 No.3399928 >>3394202 Because Nintendo knows the specs of the hardware? Unless you're wondering why all the other N64 emulators are shit, which I don't really know how to answer.

>>	Anonymous Tue Aug 2 08:59:45 2016 No.3399937 >>3394202 Because Nintendo knows the exact specs of the hardware. It's unfair to compare VC with open source emulators.

>Retroarch is nice if you like not being able to configure emulators that need BIOSes, random fucking glitches, and crashes whenever something is not configured which you can't fucking even do half the goddamn time
Retroarch is a fucking embarrassment to emulation and I can't understand anyone that actually thinks it's good.

>>	Anonymous Tue Aug 2 16:31:51 2016 No.3400657 >>3400648 It's a good idea at its core, just needs someone who's actually tried to use it before to give it a better UI and make it easier to configure.

>>	Anonymous Tue Aug 2 16:43:54 2016 No.3400678 >>3400615 From an end-user perspective it can be extremely confounding to configure or even get working. It might potentially be useful but it's such a pain in the ass. Haven't really had crashes or whatever the other anon is whining about, though.

Yeah, I never got it, I used it a couple years ago and never since. I mean, theoretically if it worked great it would be a nice base for a system that boots automatically into it, like a raspi, or if it was made as a front end for an Android device. If the gui was more user friendly I could see it really taking off. The gui is easy to configure, but not as easy as any standalone emulator. But, I have better success rates, better performance, and an easier time using dedicated emulators.

>>	Anonymous Wed Aug 3 14:36:38 2016 No.3402630 >>3400824 Standalone emulators are only "easy" because they have shit all for options so you can't fuck them up.

>>	Anonymous Thu Aug 4 05:07:17 2016 No.3404007 My only (minor) complaint with Retroarch's psx core is that it doesn't scale things up as well as epsxe but I can't get my wireless controller to work with the latter.

>>	Anonymous Thu Aug 4 05:09:09 2016 No.3404010 >>3394198 >>3394202 That's because N64 VC is not really emulation per se, but a rebuilt executable made to run on the Wii. Accuracy wise, the other VC stuff could be better.

>>	Anonymous Fri Aug 5 05:30:24 2016 No.3406040 >>3406036 The snes emulator is pretty solid, I can't fucking stand the nes emulation though. The 64 emulation is a lot better than what you can get on pc.

>>	Anonymous Fri Aug 5 05:30:46 2016 No.3406041 >>3404010 Can you inject N64 games in VC?

>>3404010
I can't find a source on this, I tried googling but I found nothing. Can someone link me to a technical breakdown on this? I know this is how the gamecube/wii/wii u generally work, but i wasn't aware that the architecture was also used on the 64.

>>	Anonymous Fri Aug 5 05:38:47 2016 No.3406050 >>3406041 Yeah, you can. Not 100% compatible but quite good, official VC releases basically had a custom tailored ini file to boot from, so games not released on the system can occasionally have problems.

>>	Anonymous Sat Aug 6 11:34:29 2016 No.3408141 >>3394189 XMB was first introduced with the PSX and continued in PS3, PSP, and Sony branded TVs, set top boxes, cameras, BluRay players, and computers.
