>live in UK so all my discs are PAL
no, I'd rather just use NTSC downloads

Can they just fucking allow RetroArch to launch virtually mounted dicks already? That would finally fix all those retarded issues with mednafen being so freaking picky about iso formats.

If you want to play original discs why don't you just play it on a real console? This is peak autism.

Is RetroArch pronounce reh-troh-ahrk as in archive or reh-troh-ahrch, as in archenemy? I've always said 'ahrk,' but on Black Mirror, they said 'arch,' which makes me question myself. Now also you guys, as well.

>>5702456
Black Mirror shilled RetroArch?

What's the point? So you can pretend that your raspberry is the real thing? you could just use the actual console if you've the disc.
And as far as I know ps1 emulators can play games from discs anyway.

I'm confused. Why is this so great?

Why not rip to bin? I dont even like running cds in original hardware.

Someone help me.

>>5702475
Yes.

It's pronounced 'arch' as in 'archway'.

The RetroArch project originated on the Arch Linux Forums. It is from here that it takes its name, although the project itself is not in any way related to the Arch Linux distro.

And in case anyone is in any doubt over the pronunciation of 'Arch' in 'Arch Linux':

Mednafen works with anything. My saturn collection is from #romland IRC circa 2004 and works perfectly.

>>5702419
No slowdown, loading times, and can use save states. Wasting time for muh authenticity is peak autism.

Why not just convert good dumps to CHDs? I have a collection of saturn and PS1 CHDs and RetroArch deals with em fine. No more folders, no more .cue/.bin bullshit. Smaller and not lossy.

>save states

>>5703090
if speed and convenience are what you are after your better off ripping to iso and playing off that.

i dont see where you really gain anything emulating from actual game disc

>>5702047

Now Sega Saturn and 3DO are added as well!

Emulation should have its own containment board

>>5705909
It does. You're looking at it.

>>5702092
Mednafen itself doesn't need any specific CD format to work, though some games won't play audio correctly if it is the wrong format.
Unless you mean the beetle core in retroarch in which case you have only yourself to blame for being a fag.

>>5706346
But RetroArch is the only way to get all those neat crt shaders, anon.
>inb4 "hurr crt shaders are shite watching hideous giant raw pixels on your modern hd screen is so much better huurrrr durrr"

>Retroarch does something Epsxe has been doing for 10 years+
I really don't get retroarch fags.

>>5706406
When has ePSXe provided accurate emulation?

>>5706407
Come on zoomer, what's wrong with Epsxe?

>>5706413
What’s wrong with zsnes?

>>5706415
Nothing, except it's (or was) dos-based.

How does it handle multi-mode CD?
Some old emulators from almost two decades back could only do redbook audio via analog, but that's not a feature included in modern disc drives anymore.
