>emulation
you must be new here

>>4242360
Why would I need emulation when I could just play any of my consoles on my CRT TV? Unless you're a poorfag, there's no need to emulate. Besides it's never 100% accurate.

>>4242375
Emulation is the best thing invented after Internet. There is nothing wrong with it.

>>4242385
I'm a poorfag and gave all my old consoles to young cousins. Emulation was a second life when I discovered it 20 years ago.
The joy of retrogaming does not depends on the hardware you use and this is nice.

>>4242360
I use a Logitech Chillstream.

>>4242375
Are you attempting to imply that a large portion if the board doesn't prefer emulating? But you're calling someone else new? Kiddo, ohh Kiddo.

>>4242360
Mad Catz brawlpad works well for me.

>>4242360
>emulation
8bitdo controllers, but I don't use anything but hardware emulation at most, and I hope they make a saturn controller one day.

>>4242394
>>4242393
don't even try, it's a known fact that only /v/ and reddit refugees emulate

>>4242403
>everything I don't like is reddit
>a child's guide to posting on 4chan

>>4242403
I have no reason to be ashamed.

And for the couch-retrogaming, I made an emulation station pc turning with Lakka OS. Works fine, and I can even add scanlines if I want.

>>4242360
>Emulation.

I like how this image is an optical illusion, at first you see a hipster who doesn' shave, and then when you look closer it's donald trump throwing up.

Get out.

Put your fucking glasses on.

>>4242429
well i'm 31 and i've been emulating since it was possible. and I even own most consoles I emulate. i'd say it's the opposite, tryhard youngfags only want to play on their console they bought on ebay

>>4242393
that's awful for 2d games. please invest in a saturn controller and usb adapter

Your trolling needs serious work.

enjoy your inaccurate sound emulation

enjoy your widescreen "hacks"

>>4242463
that does look sweet. get a playstation to gamecube adapter and i could use this with the gameboy player.

I like to collect old hardware but its just easier for me to use emulators. I cant tell a difference between any of my hardware and the emulators on everything before N64.(and saturn of course)

How well does a saturn controller work with linux?

>>4242471
>enjoy your widescreen
hell yeah I will

I use a Sixaxis controller.

>>4242415
It must be a hard life being a hardware purist. When you're not having a tantrum over the cost of collector's items you're getting violently ill over other people not enjoying games in exactly the same format you do.

I feel bad for you.

The only thing these pieces of shit are good for are opening to use the PCB for arcade sticks.

>>4242491
Never complained about how much retro shit costs. Not once. Take your assumptions and fuck off.

>>4242503
You must be one of the special few. There are constant threads here which are nothing but.

And hey if you don't get triggered as fuck over other people's choices that's even better. But this thread is testament to how bad the trolling over emulation is here.

>>4242520
Being a purist is the best way to live. We're royalty. You're filth. I'm sorry. That's just how it is.

>>4242360

PS1 pad. Earlier dualshock one. The best and most suitable for the greater number of things.

I am quite content with the Logitech F310. It's cheap and the D-Pad is surprisingly good. And the analog sticks make it fully compatible with all PS1 games.

>>4242360
how to connect to pc?

>>4242610
Last time I was playing fighters at a friend's place who only has Sony systems I got legit blister on my thumb. It was a ds4 but they've all been similar for me. Hate that dpad so much.

>>4242463
I had one of those for a few days and I was deeply disappointed. The buttons feel almost mushy and not as responsive as a Saturn or even my DS4 and the dpad is below average. I also hate the placement of the main face buttons, they should be moved to the right in place of L1 & R1.

I wish someone, somewhere would just get the rights from Sega to mass produce the PS2 edition of the Saturn pad but with maybe a third interface button in the middle for extra functions on modern consoles & PC.

>tfw my old one was basically stolen and now I have to pay hundreds of dollars to replace it

Fuck my life. At least the DS4 & XBO pads are solid enough for retro emulation.

>>4242679
>they should be moved to the right in place of L1 & R1
Turn on L3/R3 mode and reassign the buttons

>>4242385
>Why would I need emulation when I could just play any of my consoles on my CRT TV?
Because the faggot ass resellers fucked up the market and drove up the prices even for the shittest of games.

An Atari 2600 Jr is not worth 75 dollars, A copy of SMB 2 is not worth 20 dollars etc especially when 7 to 10 years ago it was all alot cheaper etc.
>Unless you're a poorfag, there's no need to emulate. Besides it's never 100% accurate.
I have money i just do not want to blow it all on games and that is why i generally stick to budget games (like the old PS1 games).

At the very most ill find some cheap game in the box and buy it, but i sure as hell am not paying 80 dollars for mario kart in the box or over a 100 dollars for a SNES as i got a working one for only 2 bucks.

>>4242360
ipega. What strange 3rd world alternate reality do you come from where saturn controllers are a serious option for playing on phones which is the only legit reason for emulating?

>>4242360
nope.

poorfag and emulationfag here and I just run a DualShock 3 since years.

>>4242705

Lol!

>An Atari 2600 Jr is not worth 75 dollars, A copy of SMB 2 is not worth 20 dollars etc especially when 7 to 10 years ago it was all alot cheaper etc.

>things are only worth what I want them to be worth I will cry about anything else

Never change /vr/!

As a South American, I'd never have an oportunity to play half of what I can play today without emulation. Be hurt purists but I'll embrace emulation forever and yeah I've played on real hardware and you're all being oversensitive over it.

One of these.

>inb4 "muh 5 millisecond input latency"

>>4242704
Understandable. I'm glad the retro shops I shop at sell the games for reasonable prices. My copy of Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes, I bought it for $20. On ebay it sells for about $39.95, which isn't a bad price either, but I'm glad I got mine cheaper.

Why do they hate others emulating anyways? That's what I don't get

>>4242905
They are trying to reconcile the fact that people can experience for free exactly what they have spent tons of money on.

PSP for truly retro games, F310 for games too new to run on a PSP.

Torn between this or a ibuffalo snes controller.

>>4243069
Not true at all. You guys are just poorfags. I have no respect for minimum wage earners.

>>4242821
>Lol!
A few years ago shit games like NES baseball were 99 cents not 5 fucking dollars.

That is why id rather pay 5 bucks to get a good playstation game instead of blowing it on on a shit NES game just to collect it.
>things are only worth what I want them to be worth I will cry about anything else
Shit NES games for 5 bucks are still not worth 5 bucks. I can buy shit games complete in the box for only 10 bucks instead of just a loose cart of baseball for 5.

The same fucking games that were in a flee market 10 years ago going for nothing suddenly are rare and expensive and it is impossible for people to get into collecting because of it.

The only thing it is really possible to collect is micro computer games but who knows how long they will remain cheap.
>>4242885
>My copy of Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes, I bought it for $20
I bought the game rouge squadron with its box for only 15 bucks so not all retro stores have bad prices however shit can be really expensive.

The only market i see fit to collect for is the PS1 and the PS2 (i know it ain't retro). Aside from that gaming is too pricy and id rather just emulate most games then buy them (i have the systems i just do not want to pay up the ass to buy the better games for them).

>>4242360
I use a controller just like that except mine says 'PlayStation'. Think I got a knockoff?

>>4242471
I don't get this meme. Why would a PC have any worse input lag than the original hardware nowadays? Or is this just about the raspberry pi?

What is a good DS2/PS2 USB adapter?
I keep hearing bad things about the generic dual blue adapter.

What's a good adapter to use a Wii classic controller?

>>4243312
>The only market i see fit to collect for is the PS1 and the PS2
I collect for Sega Genesis, SNES, Sega Saturn, PS1, N64, Dreamcast, Gamecube, Xbox, Xbox 360, PS3 and PS4.

>>4242393
>Emulation is the best thing invented after Internet.
After? You must be really tech illiterate.

>>4243443
Playstation is the cheapest platform to collect for out of all of these. It is far better just to buy a playstation and get your 5 buck games rather then deal with the SNES or the Saturns collecting scene.

>>4243448
You might want to check your facts before you go full trolltard next time :)

>>4243472
Yeah, but I got plenty of money. So collecting these games, no matter how pricey they may be, isn't a big deal.

>>4243312
>I'm a commie
Kill yourself

>>4243498
>Yeah, but I got plenty of money
I have money i well i just do not like wasting it.

Why pay 50 bucks for a SNES game when i can just emulate it and use the money to buy more games on a different platform or even another system with?

I can afford 10 to 15 games (probably alot more in wholesales i am just going on game store prices) for 50 bucks so while pay it for 1 when i can get plenty of more games for my money?

Why spend a shitload of money for only a few games when i can spend less and get more games just for a different platform?
>>4243512
>Kill yourself
Do the original developers of the game make any money off of it by retro stores or resellers? if not then fuck it i am not putting alot of money in someones pocket if i am not supporting the creator of something.

Fuck supporting the scalpers and gamestop i prefer to support the developers by either buying my games new or buying them directly from them.

If i can't do it then i will not pay 50 bucks for a video game.

>>4243312
>Shit NES games for 5 bucks are still not worth 5 bucks.

If you don't want them, don't buy them. But you're not entitled to decide what they're worth because you deserve everything at the cheapest it ever was.

Prices fluctuate over time. Deal with it.

>>4243531
>But you're not entitled to decide what they're worth because you deserve everything at the cheapest it ever was.
Who has the authority to make that decision?

Are the fucking Ebayers who hike up the price so far up your ass even when the game was the most common on the system such as a launch game (no launch game should ever be 15 dollars or more).

>>4242360
Keyboard.
I legit play games better on a keyboard than on any other controlle, even fighting games like guilty Gear.
Have my own layout that allows me to access 7 buttonsaside from movement ones without lifting my fingeers.

>>4243529
Maybe our income levels are a bit different. I make over $100,000 within a year. So buying a $50 game isn't gonna hurt me.

>>4243529
So you are a commie and a redditor, gotcha
Kill yourself

>>4243538
>Ebayers
Wah wah wah. You demonstrate patience, or you cave in and reaffirm to the seller that the price was correct.

The buyer dictates the price, the seller dictates supply.

This is basic shit dude.

>>4242360
>what controller do you use for emulation?
Emulation is lame. I gave never gotten much out of it. One time I played Earthbound on my xbox...so I guess I use an xbox controller for emulation.

>>4243560
>Maybe our income levels are a bit different. I make over $100,000 within a year. So buying a $50 game isn't gonna hurt me.
Even if i made that much i still do not want to pay 50 bucks for a game old out date and not sealed.
>>4243581

>Hahhaha i beat you commie scum.
>>4243591
>The buyer dictates the price, the seller dictates supply.
When it comes to ebay prices alot of times people who sell games will turn to ebay and then demand their buy it now prices be paid for their game even when i could easily go on ebay and wait.

This shit is leeching over into the regular market so while i understand waiting for the best price alot of times fucks will price their shit at ebay levels off ebay (not the bids but the buy it now prices).

You could hypothetically eliminate that by building a video output device that the emulator would talk to instead of sending graphics through the OS

>>4243105
owning the to of them I can only advise you to buy the ibuffalo (USB). The 8bitdo line is fine too but more expensive

>>4243807
I have the ibuffalo and love it.
Just use the PSX when playing ps1 games, but will admit sometimes leave it connected and its not bad.

Just ignore the meme. If you set up a system with just a little common sense input lag wont be a problem. Just another way they try to justify their hoards of consoles and crts clogging up their basement.

I'm looking for a third party usb nes pad. any good ones or are they all cheap shit? converters for the originals seem scarce too.

Hell I found ebay listing NEW official nes ones, but i imagine they are really knock offs too.

Get some mayflash adapters and play with original controllers for the systems you're emulating.

I don’t really emulate anymore but I use the Saturn pad for mame, fighters, and SEGA emulation. Classic controller pro for Nintendo emulation, and a GameCube controller for N64 emulation.

>>4243538
>Who has the authority to make that decision?

Anyone with something they want to sell has the authority to make that decision.

>>4242724
Being young, dumb and poor isn't a legit reason.

I use a fucking sixaxis (not dualshock 3). I wanted to use my PSOne controller which is sturdier and I bought it refurbished to the point that's pretty much new, but my current adapter is crappy enough that I do notice a slight amount of input lag not present in the sixaxis and as a result it's not just that usable. I don't know if there are better adapters out there.

Good one faggot, why would anybody be salty about actually playing real games and not being so poor that they have to play sad imitations on normie soccer mom-tier hardware? I'm sure every time a bully makes fun of a crippled kid on the playground it's really because he's "salty" about not using a wheelchair, lmao.

Probably a Hori pad, since the SEGA layout was always best for fighting games. There's pics of the Playstation and Xbox versions higher up in this thread.

>>4244494
I shit you not, on this very board I once saw an anon say he "felt bad" for tall guys because they wouldn't be able to fit into a European sports car. I guess tall guys will just have to live with being more sexually attractive to women and actually capable of defending themselves physically.

>>4244501

Both correlate with eating paint chips in adolescence.

>>4244501
>I shit you not, on this very board I once saw an anon say he "felt bad" for tall guys because they wouldn't be able to fit into a European sports car.

Not just sports cars, EVERY car. Getting into a shitty little Renault or Volkswagen is a fucking nightmare, and you always end up with massive back and leg cramps after a long trip. Other than that, life is pretty great.

>>4244512
Also, emulation beats original hardware. Sorry anon, but nothing scares pussy away faster than having a house littered with rotting plastic junk. The shitty little European apartments don't help either.

>>4244489
See? It's like watching a video if a fat kid falling and breaking his leg because he's too stupid to realize how fat he is. To him it's the worst thing that's ever happened, but to everyone else it's hysterical.

Then when a nation of fat kids fucks over the environment until hurricanes start wiping out cities you're supposed to say it's not funny, but it is.

It all is, Its all just perspective. From people whining about emulators to people whining about drowning. The cosmic joke is cosmic.

Upon further reflection NDT probably doesn't get it, but it was still funny in the moment.

Lmao yeah my wife was so scared that she gave me two kids and plays Killer Instinct Gold with me. Also, I can't speak for anyone else but I don't have a "house littered with rotting plastic junk". I have about 5 consoles and a little under 100 games, all of which fits on two shelves in my private man cave and is kept obsessively neat and orderly. Buy games you actually want to play and don't just obsessively collect needless shit and you won't have any problems.

Bullshit, there are plenty of consoles from the 70s that still work like a charm and keeping them clean and away from the elements will extend their life considerably. A console from the 90s, especially one that is cartridge-based, will outlast you. The only real concerns are replacing batteries, resistors, capacitors, etc. but these are all minor issues that can be remedied easily.

>inaccurate sound emulation
This is the only thing that really bothers me about emulating.

I switch between a couple of them, Gamecube, PS2, Xbone, and one of these dealios depending on the system. I'd like a Saturn one, but I can't invest in a controller for a system I don't own and don't want to own along with an adapter for PC, especially for a used one in good condition.

>>4244787
>not using a Saturn control to play fighting games

Because it has nothing to do with the hardware running the emulator, it has to do with the coding of the emulator. HOW do people STILL not understand this

>>4244939
I don't love the Saturn pad for fighters. It's good, but a little large for my taste. My favorite of all time is still the Dreamcast one. It's tiny but accurate. I feel like I can almost spam qcb-hcf and double half circles on it better than anything else.

>>4244986
Because for all the talk of it, it hardly seems to matter. I go back and forth playing King of Fighters emulated to play people online and hardware when my friends come over and we get to still use DC controllers. I notice almost no difference in timing and that's pretty important with fighters. Other people have no trouble beating Punch Out...

The way some people talk you'd expect input lag to make games unplayably gimped. It's just not the case.

Keyvboards are good for shooters, but not much else.

>>4245114
Actually keyboard is amazing for fighters, it's just hard to learn and re-learning a new input is a huge pain.

>>4245109
No I'm thinking of a normal Saturn pads. The one on the left there is my favorite of them. It's good, I get why people like it. But I love the DC one. It almost feels like a tiny joystick, just small enough to be perfect. I know I'm weird, a lot of people think it sucks but I've always loved it.

>>4242360
Logitech F310, works just fine

>>4242360
It depends on the game. For the majority of games/systems that Saturn pad is best for me. Super Nintendo, Genesis, most MAME games, NES, NeoGeo Pocket, Gameboy (Color & Advance), PC-Engine, Master System, Game Gear, Wonderswan, etc. all suitably work great. I primarily use the YZBC buttons for diamond shaped face buttons.

Some N64 games that use the d-pad like WrestleMania 2000 or No Mercy I just map YZBC to the C directions, and the analog stick (for taunts) I can use the keyboard.

However it gets tricky for games and systems that require analog inputs (or dual joysticks like Smash TV). That's what I have more modern controllers for.

I love using the Saturn pad, but there are some minor things that keep it from perfection. I wish the XYZ buttons were the same size as the ABC buttons and the D-pad rests inside a recess that I wish was bigger. As I use my crappiest one currently (the sunbaked one on the lower right) and with my thumb callus built up and hardened from all the games I play, I start to shave off a bit of plastic just to the down-right of the D-pad (visible on my overused sunbaked pad). Also, the PS2 versions of it does add a nice extra button with the select button so it works well as a screenshot button for emulation.

>Saturn style Dreamcast controller
I need this in my life

>>4242360
i use an arcade stick cause i play is mame

>>4247130
The problem with them are that they lack an analog stick for Dreamcast games. They are more like the Dreamcast arcade sticks which ditches the analog and changes the L&R to Z&C buttons. The D-pad is a little more loose and light in theory for fighting games but I kind of prefer the slight tilt a real Sega Saturn controller's D-pad performs slightly more. I will say the lighter and looser D-pad of the Ascii Pad FT is better suited for parries/blocks in the Street Fighter 3 games than the Saturn pads.

They do have the equal sized ABC & XYZ buttons that I crave. However, they do lack shoulder buttons.

Now what I really want is a saturn controller with a Dreamcast pad. That would be perfect.

>Fighting Commander
>Hori makes the best dpads

This. Bought one after losing my Saturn pad moving house. Been happy with it.

The DPad switch is good for older PC titles too (like FF7 PC port, which won't recognise a 360 DPad)

>>4247350
Sounds like you want the cross styled SNES-like D-pad. So why not those Hori Fighting Commanders >>4242463 and >>4242590 posted as they seem to be the closest to that personal ideal?

>>4242360
Why not just use a regular modern controller? No sticks make it hard to emulate arcade games, N64 and Playstation 1 DualShock.
Also if you invest in a special six button controller, you will also be able to perfectly emulate Saturn, Genesis and fighting games.

Horii Pokken Controller or just the plain old Xbone controller. It's d-pad is alright.

scph-1080 here
could (and should) use my Saturn one, but my PS1 controller adapter has two ports and I can't be arsed to remap shit whenever I plug in my Saturn controller

the 1080 with an H on the back is fine, has a few issues, but feels great and handles diagonals well, I've had several
the 1080 with an M fucking sucks (and the case is different enough that I can't just replace the parts from a broken model H 1080 controller I have and just use the board)
IIRC, there's another manufacturing code too

>>4243105
if they've fixed the iBuffalo d-pad random input issue, I'd go for the buffalo
that was my only issue with it, it was ridiculously good for what I paid for it
that being said, having L2/R2 buttons is ridiculously nice and useful

>>4242463
I use this for fightan and I am just as proficent (if not more) with my stick.

>>4247675

Yea it is odd having the raspberry pi on, and its at the retropie menu and it goes right in it own like once a minute or so. I dunno if its cause theres a turbo button, but yea.

>>4247629
They're good, I do like the cross shape, but it's the size and specifics of the DC one that made it my favorite dpad ever for fighters

I'm literally 18, straight out of hs, and from a lower middle class family. I play my retro games on my NES, my SNES, my Genesis, etc. People who complain about games and consoles being expensive just don't know how to budget properly.

>>4243930

Go with one of the 8bitdo ones. They have good buttons and work on nearly all devices. They have usb and bluetooth.

I personally have the fc 30 pro which works wonders!

>>4248240
You have fairly unique and odd tastes in what would be your ideal controller.

Similar to how I want a Seimitsu LS32 stick paired with Sanwa buttons in a Sega Astro City layout (not the Viewlux everyone uses now) with a wider spacing between stick and buttons like more modern Hori sticks. The closest I got is pic related, but the stick is too close to the buttons (also I couldn't afford a Seimitsu stick, so I kept the Sanwa stick). Just like you, one minor flaw keeps it from perfection.

I would recommend you get your college education in. I earn minimum wage at a very advanced age, and I find games and consoles very expensive. It weighs heavily on me maintaining a roof, utilities, vehicle, and food. I can only play retro games because it's all I had and cannot afford said new games and systems. It is not easy to budget properly, when everything is unsustainable for my income and abilities.

1. Buy a chinkpad saturn usb pad.
2. Buy a legit j saturn pad.
3. Swap the innards.
4. Best controller.

>>4244463
i only have a mayflash adapter and i don't notice any input lag. it feels perfect

What's a good controller for the Game Boy Player? I can't stand the gamecube's d-pad.

All this people using old controllers and I use a simple x box PC controller.

Do you own a game shop somewhere with some of this stuff possibly for sale.

>>4250913
Or hell, just and ebay page or an online shop of sorts. I mean . . . One person cant possibly need all those rad pads.

>>4250392
I have a Hori Digital Controller for the Gamecube, and that one is shaped like a SNES controller, but the buttons are like the face buttons of a GameCube with Z above the start button. I also use a PS2 to GameCube adapter, so I can connect the PS2 Sega Saturn pad into the GameCube, but it also works with your choice of PS1/PS2 controller (also why I have a few PSone Dual Shock as the converter does not like the PS2's analog face buttons).


>>4250681
Nothing wrong with using 360 controllers on PC as that is what a lot of modern developers use themselves for input on modern Windows systems. The stock 360 controller is really comfortable and just its D-pad is the weakness to me. If you don't mind wired, the Hori EX2 Turbo pads has everything: 6 face buttons (duplicate LB+RB), a better d-pad, 2 analog sticks (for twinstick or analog purposes), 2 analog triggers (for racing games), 10ft cable, all in a very ergonomic shape. I would even say the Hori EX2 Turbo pads may be the most ideal for general emulation.

I, rarely if ever sold anything I got because I get more fun out of my games than the $5 a gamestop would offer me at best. These pictures were taken for an older /vr/ thread that was titled "controller fetish" and I guess I have that because I do thoroughly clean them, and the sensation of a clean controller is comforting. I used to host a few Bomberman parties, so that's why I have so many Saturn and SNES controllers. It didn't help when I was playing GGPO intensely and finally broke a Saturn pad, and the cheap knockoff Saturn pads didn't feel right to me, so my paranoia just made me get more in case for the future. Maybe I am still hoping friends would want to play the old games with me.

>>4243930
DataFrog are horrible, by the way. Only SEGA controller from them actually feels good in hand. Still bad because d-pad is registering inputs like shit.

I've bought this for emulation. Very happy with it. Although I only played Lost Vikings 2 with it and now I just use it for RPGmaker hentai games.

>>4249321
that or not willing to lurk hard enough. used book stores, goodwills, etc end up with old video games and have no idea how to price them

>>4252005
I got one of these for speedrunning purposes. I wore out the connector pads relatively quickly (about one year). I don't know if anybody else has had problems with these wearing out. I'm probably going to replace the pads in it soon.

So yeah, if you find some good replacement connector pads for it and can switch those out or if you just play casually this is a nice one.
