the old Gens has a less autistic UI, but some games are bugged on it.
ZSNES is buggy as fug. just use the latest SNES9x. if that don't work, like with Der Langrisser, use furryass bsnes.

>Is there any reason to emulate using anything other than the ol' reliables?

If you want universal settings among all of your emulators/cores without having to set them up for all of them individually, and/or if you just do like having it all in a single place, RetroArch can be quite useful, at least my experience using it, compared to standalone, has been much better.

Still, it's all a matter of what your personal use is, if you like it or not, to me it worked, but it might not for you, this anon sums it up: (>>10509821).

One thing that personally makes me adore using RetroArch is the XMB UI, since I really loved that on both PS3 and PSP, it's just satisfying to me...

retroarch:

copy paste key/controller configs between emulators

royale crt filter pre configured for all games for all emulators

your whole library for all emulators in the same place. if you want, you can make sub libraries that have just like Kirby games from all consoles from the game boy to the wii and beyond

Discussing if these emulators are still acceptable on a Taiwanese retro holocaust forum, is not mental illness. If people start getting angry and flamewarring, then sure you got a point. But, it's really not that hard baiting people into flamewars using psychological tactics. Less of a mental illness and more of an IQ thing. Unless, you're saying having a low IQ is a mental illness... because that's an interesting conversation to have.

Using the word zoomer is like an instant win argument button here you didn't even address the point. Sometimes game can have more subtle issues than the game being completely broke that didn't exist in the original. And this might detract from the experience.

by your own logic of "googling ___ emulator and installing the first one that comes up" for the sake of saving time or whatever, retroarch is still better since you only google it once and download a software with everything you need, instead of googling multiple times for multiple download pages and going through multiple installations, you lose at your own argument.

I don't know who "squarepusher" is, nor am I a shill, RetroArch's extremely popular nowadays and I don't know why you believe that everyone that says good things about a software they like must be a shill, that's what this board is all about, we recommend video games and different things to one another all of the time, we argue and we discuss, it's not a matter of being a shill or a bot.

I used to love standalone emulators, and I still do hold many of them dear, but when I began to try emulation on my smartphone, and realized that lots of my favorite emulators didn't have a real Android version, but had a core on RetroArch, it made sense to finally give it a chance, and I was pleaseatly surprised, so much so that I switched to it on my PC aswell, it just sort of happened. I like to switch between different consoles all of the time, and to tinker with settings and CRT/LCD filters, things like that, so to me having a system where settings apply universally between the emulators I already liked, now called cores, is so convenient and time saving to me, and like I've said I love XBM, the ambient music and the SFX, going through my library... it's just comfortable.

If you prefer standalone emulators, then more power to you, I love them too and I'm happy you managed to find something that works for you, but to some people that's RetroArch, and that doesn't make any them shills, bots or even this "squarepusher" fella. I don't know why it is that RetroArch, or people using it, makes you upset, but I hope you have a good day. God bless you.

I like emulators a lot but I feel as though it agitates my retro gaming collection addiction. My retro game collection is bigger than ever. It started by playing with emualtors.

Chankast and Nesticle aren't reliable. As I recall the last decent NES emulator I used was FCE Ultra or something like that. Chankast is just all kinds of junk, but I don't know if there's an actual good DC emulator, every one I tried either had input lag, stuttering, or couldn't get the z-order in shmups right (Ikaruga stage 2 is the worst offender).

I'd also wager that some software-only PSX emulator would be better than ePSXe. Either pSX (which gets MOST games right but not everything) or Xebra (which I haven't used).

Don't know what's a good N64 emu, all the ones I tried were junk, I only used PJ64 with a ton of different settings until I found the one that played Conker right.

ZSNES, SSF, Kega, VBA and MAMEUI are all rock solid.

NTA but I gave up on VBA when it bugged a save of mine in Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories, the cards it was dropping for me were all cards that, taking into account the drop rates for each character, at some point started dropping random cards, that made grinding pretty much impossible since one crucial thing was knowing who to grind for cards that I wanted and who to avoid, so that sucked...

I switched to mGBA standalone, and then used a mGBA core for RetroArch, and never looked back as I've had no issues since, it just works. If you'd like to use older emulators, fine, but don't act as if you're superior to anyone for it or that anyone who uses new ones, or RetroArch, is wrong, since it makes a lot of sense to want newer and more polished software over the previous options.

It really isn't, there's several GUI mednafen releases out there that make it easier to set up. The only part that could remotely be viewed as messy is setting up the BIOS and GUIs take care of that for you and then it just werks.

Personally I think that accurate emulation with the original controller is a nice bridge between just playing games and the autistic need to put the original cartridge in the original console on a CRT for an "authentic" experience.

But if you don't care about that then more power to you.

Having said that, I do think that having something as close to the original controller as possible is a big thing. I tried playing Super Metroid loads of times with an xbox controller and SNES9x, but it didn't click for me until I used a SNES controller with bSNES. So for me I consider it important to use accurate emulators with the original controller to me at least. Now I have a huge collection of controllers, there's only about 5 left before I have all of the major controllers or a close enough approximation (I used DS4 for PS1 for example) from 2nd gen to current gen.

It's a shame, but collecting retro consoles and cartridges/disks is just way too expensive now for it to be truly worth it, unless you've already started years ago, or if you really want it badly, but nowadays I just emulate with RetroArch on my big OLED TV using accurate CRT filters and also controllers that feel like the real thing, it's accurate enough, and way cheaper, so I love it.

I have an 8BitDo M30 for my SEGA needs and a DualShock 4 for my Sony ones, now all I need is something more SNES like for Nintendo, and a controller with asymmetrical analog sticks too.

Retroarch just filters low IQ people naturally.
It's truly a simple emulator to use with anything except Gamecube/PS2/3DS (and i would say PPSSPP/MelonDS are better), and just because it has a deep customization layout for """advanced""" users some people get butthurt because they can't access what they don't really need to use.

I don't know, maybe it's just me being a prick, or lacking empathy... but I never got this whole "UI in RetroArch is bad/hard to use" at all... it's what kept me from using it for a while, the things I'd hear, I'd imagine myself trying to set it all up and struggling... then I installed it, went into the core downloader, got the ones I wanted, scanned my ROMs folder... and then it was all ready to play!

It genuinely shocked me, and as I used it more to change the settings to my liking, things like the UI itself, shaders, controls, etc... I did have some issues here and there, but nothing major at all...

It's just like any software, you have your settings, which you can ignore if you want, but if you want to take advantage of them, then it's good that it has everything you could need... and if you have any issues or struggle, there's a huge community where people probably had the same issue and posted about it, and people found a solution, it's just like any other major emulator, and it works.

People that hate RetroArch and seethe about it generally fall into at least one of three camps:
1. Brainlets who cannot figure it out because it's not File -> Open ROM -> Play
2. Baby ducks who dislike anything that's not a bog-standard WIMP user interface
3. People unfortunate enough to have had extended interactions with the lead dev, who is admittedly a humongous shitstain of a person
I guess a fourth one would be rival emudevs who have an axe to grind, along with their dickriders.
Now, if I had to pick at it myself, I would say the gamepad configuration system is potentially its Achilles' Heel. Sure, most of the time it Jess Werks, but on the off chance that your gamepad isn't supported out of the box, or you want to change the bindings (most pertinent on consoles that don't map cleanly to a DS/Xbox-style controller like Saturn or N64), it can be difficult and unintuitive to work with. Also, some settings are a bit all over the place.

I don't like RA because of the performance overhead. I also dislike that I have to use outdated versions of emulators with it as well as sometimes just outright not being able to use the emulator I want. It's got some cool features, but I prefer the utility of standalone emulators.

Also personally I play on a desktop, so prefer a UI more suited to PC. I have a lot of games so I really want to use a frontend, but none of them tick all of the boxes. They're all either ugly, lacking features, bloated, have a shitty interface, not very customisable, or some combination of the five.

Indeed, as I said I had problems with RetroArch myself, and it was mainly the controller settings, as it's not very good when your controller isn't recognized as an XBOX One controller though Xinput. It's especially bad for controllers with a 6-button layout that SEGA's more well known for in the industry. I got a 8BitDo M30 recently and it took some time to get it working how I wanted it to, and that was with Xinput, for some reason if I tried to plug the controller in, to get less delay than I get with Bluetooth, it recognized it as a completely different controller, and for some reason I couldn't set it up the same way as I did when it's connected through Bluetooth, but then again I don't know how much of this is due to the RetroArch software itself or 8BitDo's controller.

Also, even I get a bit overwhelmed by all of the submenus and settings sometimes, so I get why people might dislike, but that's because I like to tinker, which isn't really needed most of the time.

I've heard many bad things about the RetroArch developer before, and it does sound like I'd quite dislike him if I interacted with him and/or was an emulator developer too, but to me this really is a matter of separating the art from the artist, I've had to do it many times before, and it's ideal, or else we'd enjoy less things, because people suck, we all do to a certain extent, to be quite honest.

Eh, Squarepusher/Twinaphex, the lead dev, is basically a dev in name only. He's not even the one who created RetroArch. It, along with many of the features that RetroArch is known for, was created by Themaister, although the precursor to the API it now uses was actually created by byuu/Near. The current dev goes way back, too, but he was mostly notable for initially porting RetroArch to the PS3 and modifying a few cores to make them run on slower machines like the Wii. He later took the reins from Themaister because the latter didn't really care to lead a whole project of this kind (he later went on to revolutionize N64 emulation through the ParaLLEl Vulkan renderer). Almost all of the things that make RetroArch what it is do not come from SP's hand, and in fact he's been known to break some of its functioning many times because he tends to endlessly tinker with the codebase to fit some weird standards that he has, at which point others have to come in and fix his fuckups. But yeah, he's mostly known for his utterly poisonous attitude.

For me emulators are for children or people who still live in their family home, especially these days. There are so many ways the original hardware is different and superior and even on the occasion when an emulator might be different - you're playing a different game to what was released, and that has its own disadvantages. It's not all a big conspiracy to extract your hard-earned wealth of a few hundred dollars to get a few consoles and flashcarts/cdrs, get a life.

FPGAs might also do for some consoles that are 1:1 on it. This removes most concerns of original hardware being a limited and dying entity.

The best Emulators are generally very close and unless its a shitty or dated emulator the differences are so small and autistic I couldn't bring myself to give a shit. They also have LLE emulation if you care about those autistic details. Emulators are getting better by the day, there's been some crazy advancements

They're really not autistic at all no matter how much you try to convince yourself or others. You will also always have input lag, and no you can't remove or reduce that - reducing input lag relies on hacks that fuck drastically with game timing and that is why bugs will show up if you do it enough in some games. Even if you can't feel it it's there and not actually how it's meant to be. For a non-action, menu-based game there's a much better case for emulation I would agree.
>This is retarded anon. Solving some technical issue or upscaling or downloading a mod or whatever wouldn't mean you can't make general statements on the quality of the game or on some other thing.
Many games look peculiar when upscaled to higher resolutions, the rest of the detail doesn't really match it. Hence why people still play games like Quake in the regular resolutions and not even the highest of those, even though HD packs are available.

Also it's like adding colour to or sharpening old movies with AI. I get the appeal as in it looks better. However you are introducing things that aren't there in reality, just that they look right, and in that sense they're fake.

>I might consider buying flashcarts but not to seem cool to some vinyl record ass hipster faggot like you

Well, here's the thing, if I already have a laptop or PC I can hook up to my TV, that's got a good enough resolution to run good CRT shaders, as I'm using retro styled controllers, and full ROM lists for all of the consoles I care about playing the most, with emulators I like and/or a proper frontend for my ROM collection... why would I spend so much more for original hardware too?

I already have everything I need to play all the titles I'll play anyways if I start building up my collection, the difference is that I'll spend a lot until I get there, and I'd rather keep my money.

I don't look down on people with their physical collections, it's incredible and I'm happy for all that manage to pull it off... but no, emulators aren't just for children or people who live with their families, they're for people without money to afford a collection, or that simply prefer to not spend money when it's unnecessary for the experience. No one's saying that it's this crazy conspiracy or something, it's just that when the emulation fulfills all of one's needs... why bother with more? It isn't a different video game, I say that as someone who's played both, that's BS.

Not at all, anon. Don't talk down on yourself like this, it's not healthy, you're not a sucker. Anyway, RetroArch can be mediocre if you have hundreds of ROMs, since it uses a list format, at least on its XMB, while LaunchBox allows for customization in how you organize your library, and more ways to view it/select it, with a grid being perfect for those with a lot of ROMs in their collections too.

I'd say you're using a good software on top of another good software to make the most out of both, and there's nothing wrong with that, it's a smart thing to do, especially if it works for you.

I guess, though from what I know all of the cores which are based on standalone emulators have all of their settings intact, unless I'm recalling it wrong, so in that sense it'd make RetroArch a master of all aswell, but then again I could just be remembering it wrong as I don't tinker too much.

I just wish RetroArch had an UI driver that would display ROMs in a grid like many frontends do, it would just be a nice option to have really.

I personally just find it better to open the search and type in the first few letters of the game I want to play, which brings it up real quick. Works pretty well even with a controller.

i dont see the point in using retroarch a program that let's me access emulators when I can just access them on their own
Its just bloat

It has got the best emulator for megadrive and its one of the best ways to play 8bit home computers too because it will automatically do whatever needs to be done to get in the game rather than having to know obscure commands for a computer from the 80s. It also has gsync compatibility across all its cores.

Other than that. It's just bloat and the worst versions of the emulators.

He was literally responding to someone calling RetroArch bloat, to prove that this was a false argument, that's it. You can't go all "Oh, RetroArch is bloat, why would people use it?" and when someone goes and responds as to why that complaint isn't really an issue go "Why do you care so much about what others use?" When at no point that user told you to use RetroArch over standalones.

[Anonymous No.10526496]

But it's not a false argument as its still bigger than what I need. Notice how those posts were just
"I don't use retroarch because..."

"Why don't you use MY emulator instead you're wrong and stupid"

No.

Retroarch does not work. With every update it works less.

I used this script to configure the source

https://pastebin.com/raw/0EkZeuwn

RetroArch is a feature creep project look at that shit I had to do. Just look at it.

I used this script to start it

https://pastebin.com/raw/H2g2nrzM

It removes all automatically written config and generates a new one because it would not work otherwise.

And STILL I have'nt been able to play games with it for at least 2 months now because their git is broken and I know they don't care about bug reports. It is an agent project. They hi-jacked emulation and everyone should stay away from it.

>just use the latest SNES9x
Snes9x doesn't run games at the proper speed. I think it's limited to SuperFX games. Seems to work in bsnes.

I had issues with audio popping in ePSXe and trying to find plugins to make it work properly. Duckstation just seems like an upgrade to ePSXe.

With my last PC, I couldn't run Conkers Bad Fur Day or Banjo Tooie or Body Harvest or any of the other hard to run N64 games using retroarch and Mupen64Plus/ParaLLEl at fullspeed. Using Simple64 I could. The difference was Retroarch. So yeah, there is performance overhead that doesn't need to be there.

[Anonymous No.10528250]

It's bigger than what's needed FOR YOU. When we say that a software is "bloat" which I mostly see when people mention Windows 8 and all of the other Windows editions after it, it's because it's FILLED with a bunch of stuff you didn't want, nor would ever need, against your will... and it's not the case at all for RetroArch, because it does come with pretty much nothing out of the box.

When you install RetroArch, there's an internal downloader for you to only then add the things YOU want to use, so RetroArch's always as big as it NEEDS to be for its user, so it's not bloat at all.

If you use a wrong definition, then people WILL call you out, not because you don't want to use what they use, but because you're stating false things to dismiss an useful software that works.

Also, on that 1st reply, if it was you of course, it was interesting how you'd mention RetroArch's got the "worst versions" of emulators, while we see most standalone fans here wanting to show off and feel superior for using 20 year old stuff over RetroArch... which is it, then? No, we don't care what you use, we just think your arguments for RetroArch's flaws are bad and we respond.
