Sega CD dead, play TG-16 or SNES ver.

the n64
the saturn
the dreamcast
most non retro consoles

Shills will claim that Emulation is "better than original hardware" but you spend so much time fucking around with settings that you don't have any time left to actually play the game. The amount of money spent on various controller adapters and a decent enough computer to emulate on, it would have been cheaper to get real hardware and a CRT. I will never understand emufags.

Was I being lied all this time?

Redream can run on a potato, requires no aditional fileso or settings per game, and you can just plug a DS4 and play

at this point it should be what games have issues/can't be beaten rather than just listing a console.
like yeah emulation doesn't exactly compare to having the real thing. even hearing a disk-based system load can cause nostalgia. however saying a game/system can't be emulated properly when it looks exact when outputted to a crt is silly.

for the emulation argument it ends up being cheaper in the long run. for example imagine you only want to play majority of the snes library. you can get the real hardware, a flashcart and some games not supported by the flashcart but any price computer will get you the same result.

>>5977492
Can you name one single N64, Saturn or Dreamcast game that can’t be emulated? All of a sudden hoardlards get really quiet when you ask this, or when you respond to their claim of a game that can’t be emulated with proof that it can.

>>5977492
First three work fine here. Emulating Naomi for a lot of the games ported to Dreamcast is a good way to go too - haven't found a single game that doesn't work perfectly in Demul.

>>5977492
Fishing for (You)s again, huh anon? You know none of that is true. You're just too retarded to figure out how to set things up properly, so you blame emulation.

I'm not him, but he is right. Proper (100%) emulation for those consoles isn't a thing at the moment.

>>5977595
All I want for Christmas is you. Do the light guns werk on these?

Sega 32x. Only Picodrive does it but their emulation is poor.
NBA Jam TE won't load a game at all. Kalibri crashes at level 3.
Frankly, it would be easier to list the games that work fine.

>>5977656
its not a retroarch core but have you tried kega fusion?

>>5977656
>Sega 32x
Kega Fusion does 32X and i remember it being very good

>>5977654
from what I understand at the moment is that you have to settle for wiimote tier aiming if emulating

>>5977636
Nobody but autists care about 100% emulation. 80, even 70% is good enough to play an entire game. Die mad that people are having fun with games, but not how you want them to.

>>5977636
I have played through many games on those consoles emulated without ever noticing a significant problem. I don't give a shit if some processor subroutine is running at only 99% cycle-accurate timing and neither should you.

>The house of the dead
Thanks for giving me an idea for what i could use my saturn lighting gun on.

>>5977492
Saturn was playable over ten years ago, SSF had something like 85% compatibility and has been in development ever since.

N64 and Dreamcast, I agree. Wasn't there a project to emulate the N64 in full software, without the plugin bullshit? Did it get abandoned?

>>5977659
>>5977660
Fusion focused on getting all commercial 32x games working 100%, but it uses some hacks so it's not emulating the *hardware* 100%. Many prototypes don't work right because of this. Steve Snake confirmed it and added an option for the prototypes specifically.

>>5977681
>80, even 70% is good enough to play an entire game
That's absolutely false. If only 70% or even 80% of a game is working it absolutely will crash or glitch out long before you can complete it.

>Play every game i wanted to play
>non emufags die from old age before they could ever play any old game they wanted to play cause they cost like $10,000

lmao

>FUCK, THE EMULATION RESULTED IN OCCASIONAL MINOR GRAPHICAL GARBAGE, I CAN’T PLAY THIS

To my knowledge, Neo Geo emulation hasn’t been worked on in forever, and in its current state runs like garbage. Seriously, try emulating anything in NeoRAGEx; it’s nigh impossible to get anything working correctly.

>>5978069
You’re not actually playing the game if you emulate. It will NEVER be the same

>>5978096
99.9% accuracy for the price of nothing is good enough for me bruh.

>>5978084
can't you just use MAME?

>>5977595
Bro act like you can handle Virtua Fighter 2

>>5978084
What in the fuck.
Neo Geo emulation has been around since forever, and the emulator is fucking ugly because you don't need anything else from it, really.
The only times I remember Neo Geo flunking it's when running a first gem or so Pentium II

>>5978084
Neo Geo has been 100% perfect in...really most emulators, for a long time. You didn't think to try Final Burn Alpha or MAME? Literally the only place you're likely to see bad NG emulation are on the official SNK products ironically.

>Popful Mail
What did he mean by this?

>>5978814
That Mail is cute probably.

>>5978814
Popular with retro fans and the pc88 version has strange issues if emulating. Rooms will sometimes not load causing an infinite fall.

>>5977654
Two-player Saturn HotD with lightguns is an amazing time.

>>5977654
Yes, but it's a bit iffy on flat-screen CRTs.

>>5979078
First I hear about that.
I've been considering writing my own emu for the platform since all emulators have accuracy/compatibility problems, but don't have enough free time nowadays.

>>5980414
Lol sure you were

>>5980426
It's going to cost $100 for an individual license with business licensing available when done.

>>5977636
Ok but what games aren’t playable? I don’t actually know of anything and every time I ask no one can seem to point it out. There’s improvements to be made sure but in terms of purely playing the games not preservation what are we missing?

>>5978084
I remember using neorage on my Pentium 2 anon. Even then it was outdated compared to FBA. How long has it been since you’ve used neogeo emulation?

>>5978071

I cannot believe you were autistic enough to take those figures literally, but here we are
