>>4600625
this is just sad. you say you're using higan but i see retroarch? you wouldn't be making up nonsense stories by any chance just to shit on emulation?

>>4600686
i agree.

>>4600625
jesus christ you have to be trolling

>>4600701
Pic is not me it's just to illustrate. I'm using higan which removed balanced and performance but still I get worse performance (double frames) compared to snes9x 1.53 on Wii

Took me twelve seconds to find a more suitable solution. OP's trolling who wouldn't just grab a purpose built emulator?
>>4600708
OP, if you're _actually_ in need of help buddy, do this. DON'T touch retroarch or Higan or any of that shit. If an emu does more than one system, it's shit. If the problem persists on a GOOD emulator, then you can ask for help.

how come higan is not the best emulator for SNES? I know snes9x released a new build ( I think 1.54 or something)

>>4600716
It's bsnes at its core. It got name changed to Higan once they started adding too many systems at once (more than one).
It'd be like asking someone to service your car, but your car is also a plane and a tank and they're busy working on bugs with the toothbrush function of it. It's a bad design philosphy for an emulator, and you should expect bugs.

>>4600721
that I understand but higan is supposed to be better than bsnes .93 which was pretty good
but still on 9x 1.55 I get strange frame issues (it's locked fps but I can see the game is slower sometimes)
I played it more than 300 times on my original SNES I can feel it's not right

>>4600625
Sounds like you have frameskip enabled.

Retroarch isn't an emulator. The cores are emulators. The cores are mostly forks of standalone single target emulators.

And there's nothing wrong with multisystem emulators. I don't know how much time you think emu devs dedicate to these projects, but once they're stable and all publicly available knowledge about the target hardware has been implemented, they pretty much get put on maintenance mode with occasional bug fixes and added features. There's literally nothing they could do at that point to improve emulation accuracy on their own.

It's not like these guys are spending 80 hours a week contemplating ways of increasing accuracy. Most emulator devs aren't the ones reverse engineering the systems so a compatibility update would only happen when someone who is a reverse engineer publicly releases information (or official documents gets leaked) that could be used to increase compatibility. Then you implement it and the project goes back on maintenance mode.

what did he meme by this? its a onesizefitsall frontend, it is NOT an emulator and in fact comes with even snes9x if you want to use that (over the bsnes core for some god awful reason?). there isn't anything wrong with using it

>windows

>>4600723
>higan is supposed to be better than bsnes .93

The snes core has only had minor bug fixes and pointless rewrites since that last special chip game was added circa 2012. Basically lots of changes but almost no actual improvements. The underlying snes core hasn't changed in any meaningful way since 062.

You don't know how to use a car, so I guess cars shouldn't exist anymore.

The audacity, the cojones to say that emulation was a mistake.

No thanks.

>>4600909
Get out of here you vir/g/in

>>4600926
there is nothing wrong with xubuntu, it has sensible defaults and xfce4 has good compatibilty with for example fullscreen games

>>4600864
Emulation of more "modern" platforms and parallel are better on Windows.

maybe explain so you don't sound like a hipster

>>4600953
They're bloated and unnecessary, retard. What do you even mean by "hipster" anyway?

>>4600958
>xfce4-panel 10 MB
>xfdesktop 8 MB
>xfwm4 10 MB
how is xfce4 bloated? even i3 will take up 50 megabytes of ram on a 64 bit system. you sound like a hipster because you are shitting on the entire concept of desktop environments with something as generic as "its cancer". it sounds like you dont actually have any real complaints about them and that you get your opinions by doing the opposite of what anyone else does

>>4600962
That would be contrarian, not hipster. Your numbers are also inaccurate.
>because you are shitting on the entire concept of desktop environments with something as generic as "its cancer"
Why do you need to be spoonfed?

>>4600968
>inaccurate
you dont even know what a de is, its just a collection of software that comes with a window manager. an xfce4 user can just install the core xfce4 which is just a window manager (xfwm4, you dont even need xfdesktop or xfce4-panel). i didn't ask you to spoonfeed me anything, i asked you why you thought a certain way. no systemd doesn't come with xfce4, no thunar doesn't come with xfce4, it doesn't even come with fonts you are just a hipster who thinks he is an elitist

>>4601009
Well, you obviously have issues. I'm not the bad person who hurt your little feelings in the past. Don't accuse me of things he did to you that I didn't do. Air your dirty laundry in private.

This is a variation on that silly reddit meme, right?

no its the first result for "victory pose" in duckduckgo though now that i am looking i cant find any that aren't women on top so its probably related to reddit in some retarded political way

No, you idiot. Not what I am referring to.

Screencapped. Taking it to /r/4chan and /g/.

>>4600625
>>4600708
Dude, you need like a $1000 PC to run Higan to any degree of reasonable accuracy. No joke, it's ridiculously resource-heavy.

>>4601035
You can use xfce for BSD.

MAME/MESS and Mednafen say hi.

Also higan is without a doubt the absolute best SNES emulator and will likely always be. All the other systems byuu has added are ok but mostly inconsequential.

Retroarch isn’t so much a multi-system emulator as it is a unified frontend for a bunch of other peoples’ emulators, usually with very outdated versions. It’s a shame that it’s given the emulation scene such a bad rap.

>not using Znes

>>4600625
maybe you're running the emulator on a cheap shitty laptop

>Emulation was a mistake
Your existence was a mistake. kys
