I have been trying to setup a emulator front end for someone who refuses to tinker with settings. They like the Amiga and Atari ST and nothing will work for quick swapping disks.

Front ends and multiemulators that are meant to simplify everything get round the problem but just not supporting them.

It adds a few frames of input lag to all the cores. Some are unusable as a result like the higan ones. Retroarch sucks in general, but despite using the same cores it doesn't suffer from this problem.
And the handful of native compiled emulators all offer far more responsive results, but sadly Macs suck for availability of emulators firstly and they suck worse than Android for killing compatibility OS version to OS version. Practically nothing works right unless it was recently compiled. Stick to windows 7 for the best experience.

Mednafen isn't a good choice if your PC isn't that strong, it ran slower for me than ePSXe. But I have no issues playing anything in ePSXe. It allows for a little more customization with the plugins too I think. I don't mess with the graphics too much but the dithering in some games doesn't look good on modern monitors, and I don't like using filters/shaders, so ePSXe letting you turn it off is better for me.

I feel that's why a lot of people love ZSNES no matter how bad it is compared to pretty much every other SNES emulator today. There's a nostalgic to it, it's the emulator a majority of people used back in the day to play SNES roms on their computer like it was magic. I did as well, until I learned that there was better ones like SNES9x and Higan.

NESticle is one of the best ever. If you are on an actual toaster, NESticle will not do you wrong. And I mean an actual honest-to-GOD toaster that can barely run win95. Besides that, you can thank NESticle for all sorts of wacky shit emulators can do these days, including ROMhax.

RetroArch has a built-in cover art downloader under the Online Updater section. Just download the image sets you need from there. For the cover art to display correctly however, you need to do this:

http://docs.libretro.com/guides/roms-playlists-thumbnails/

>RetroArch Playlist Scanner

>RetroArch incoporates a ROM scanning system to automatically produce playlists. Each ROM that is scanned by the playlist generator is checked against a database of ROMs that are known to be good copies.

>In order for content to be correctly scanned, you must:
>Have a compatible core already downloaded and installed
>Update Core Info Files via Online Updater
>Update Databases via Online Updater
>Restart RetroArch if any of the above was just done

>Finally, the content must match existing databases from the libretro-database README

Don't listen to *any* of the retards saying not to use Retroarch. Being able to universally apply CRT filters, or if you're not into that, a 'light' bilinear filter to make the pixels seem integer
when scaled, along with all the latency mitigating features, is a no brainer. Frame pacing/sync not being a juttery mess across all cores is also nice. Standalones have some of these perks, but usually not all of them.

Post latency with your emulation setups, faggots, if you can be trusted to be honest about it. Pic related is an average for me. No other setup will get this responsive, even on a low latency monitor (which I also use)

Anyone have any advice on what to use on the go for emulation? I was considering buying a vita for christmas just as an emulation device, bonus is it can play vita games compared to a chink device which all seem tiny/to have drawbacks.

It seems like a no brainer to use an android phone but I just can't deal with no physical controls and can't see any android controllers that are kind of subtle and also good. As in the telescopic kind.

Light. LIGHT bilinear, retard. So you can scale to full screen and keep the pixels from being jagged, yet still have an integer-esque, pixel art look.

Unfortunately the easiest way to do Amiga is with fs-uae and it's inbuilt front end. If you go through the whdload setup on it you get a great experience but it also handles multi floppy setups pretty well.

OpenEmu is the best libretro frontend with 3 exceptions
1. Mac only

What? One of the biggest advantages of retroarch is being able to jump from core to core without having to remap controls. I've never had my mappings magically disappear, and mapping a new controller for all cores simultaneously takes about four seconds. If you're going to shit on it, at least complain about real issues, not your schizo delusions.
