I have a toaster. Old Compaq Presario CQ62 with, of all things, Ubuntu on it. Emulation is...alright, but not great. For example, ZSNES is pretty much it for SNES emulation, SNES9x is a slow, choppy mess.

Have yet to try emulating anything post-N64, so I'd have to get back to you on that. My assumption is that PS2/GC will be to much for the weak CPU.

I control XBMC with a remote, RetroArch and Steam with a DualShock 3. Those are the only input devices I've got connected to the PC. It should be possible to set up XBMC to be controlled with a gamepad if that's your thing.

Also have a PS3 which used to be my main RetroArch machine, but with the NUC I've got access to more cores in addition to more accurate ones for consoles like SNES (bsnes-mercury instead of snes9x-next, etc).

The top-line NUCs are fantastic HTPCs with XBMC, they'll run any media you throw at them without struggling. Need to watch 1080p autismal anime hi10p encodes? No problem. Enough power for emulation and some light gaming too, but like I said I wouldn't expect last gen consoles to be playable. For that you'd probably be better off looking into Gigabyte's more expensive BRIX series instead.

If you're into enhancements, then yes. Wii stuff especially looks glorious at 1080p compared to the smudgy aliased mess it is on the real system. Compatibility is fairly good except for the Dreamcast. Accuracy won't happen for a good while.

Good god look at all these fuck nuggets in this thread bitching about doom and RTC generals. Here's how it works:
/vg/ was created to organize general threads off of /v/. Until there is a /vrg/, just shut the fuck up and filter them out. For a board comprised of mostly adults, you guys sure do act like children about this.

>i think the same at the very least they should axe the GCCX general, its a fucking Tv show for fucks sake
As much as I love GCCX, I feel it and every other Lets-Play or game reviewer should be put in a general on /vg/. Watching someone play retro games really isn't retro games, it's watching a videogame related show. I really love GCCX, but I don't think lets-play and game reviewers should be allowed here. But I'm not moot so who cares?

I think the biggest problem is spoonfeeding threads. They wipe out worthwhile threads just so some mouth-breather doesn't have to do their own legwork. Putting a stop to spoonfeeding would greatly improve /vr/.

>> No.1836382

>>1836370
It has nothing to do with being "special", it's simple catagorization. /vr/ is retro games, since less people talk about retro games, it's a slower moving board. /v/ is mostly new stuff, which means it's faster moving, thus REQUIRES /vg/ in order to keep focused discussions alive and constructive. /vr/ is slow, so it doesn't require a general board. These peace and balance is kept just fine until sperglords start their bitching because they see a doom thread every day among the crapton of great retro discussion.

>> No.1836389

>>1836372

I think watching retro videogames is just as tangentially related as a lot of stuff on this board, like peripheral threads and the doom thread that's mainly about modding rather than playing it..

>> No.1836393

The way I see it is that you can't post /vr/ content in /v/, but there was nothing in the rules that says you can't make any /vr/ generals in /vg/. And the same rules say recurrent generals belong in /vg/

>> No.1836396 [DELETED] 

>>1836365
Or you can take your shitty generals to /vg/ because they're still video game general threads you fucking retard.

Stop shitting up /vr/ with your god damned generals. Fuck isn't there even an emulation general already? How is that one different from this? No one's fucking emulating Xbox 360 games, they're all emulating retro shit.

The only general thread I'm fine with on /vr/ is the vintage japanese computer ones, and that's because they happen like bi-monthly and are interesting and not you fags circle jerking over doom .wads.

>> No.1836408

>>1836393
But the way you see it makes no sense.
Doom, RTC, and GCGX generals have a handful of regular posters each and move at the same speed as the rest of /vr/. Meanwhile most /vg/ threads have floods of posters and move at the speed of /v/. If they aren't on /vr/, they won't exist at all.

I don't participate in the GCCX or Doom threads but how is it that they are shitting up /vr/ when they've been here for just as long as I can remember?

I first came here in like March last year (I think that's a full month after the board was created) and /vr/ wouldn't be the same without them. Why should they go to /vg/ and end up being submerged by things that are way more popular than them just so you can be happy? That's not fair at all.

>> No.1836432

>>1836415
So because they've been here since shortly after the board opened they should be exempt from rules?
"It's okay doctor, I've had this tumor for ten years leave it".

the Doom threads have no real place here, they're mostly talking about new level design and creation for modern rewrites of an old engine. How is new video game content retro?

I guess we should be talking about Mega Man 9 and 10 means they're done in a style of the NES ones, and we should talk about Shovel Knight because the Famicom sound hardware can play it too, right?

These generals are using /vr/ as a safe haven because they're afraid of getting swallowed up by the speed of /vg/, and honestly I don't care it's not my problem they are videogame general threads, and maybe we made that god damned videogame general forum for a reason.

That also opens up /vr/ to other generals like this emulation general THAT ALREADY EXISTS IN /vg/. It was made for a reason, take your shit there.

Not the same thing at all. Let's break it down since you seem to be having a hard time with this.
Game Center CX is a show about playing retro games
Roller Coaster tycoon is a retro series. Yes, there was a 3rd one that wasn't retro, but it isn't talked about because it was shit.
Doom is a retro series, again with a shit 3rd one that isn't talked about.

PSP is amazing for emulation. I've been playing Kyuuyaku Megami Tensei on the SNES9x for psp, all I had to do was give it a little frame skip to keep the music playing smoothly. A lot of the SNES games won't chug if you let it skip frames, though I understand this really only works for RPG type games where the animation is pretty sparse. Mega Man X/X2 works very well without frame skip except for a couple of the bosses, very few games won't respond to a little graphical tinkering.

Other than that, it natively supports all PSX games (though you have to use the stupid analog nub for L2 and R2). You can emulate GBA (dat mother triple combo), SMS and Genesis,

Try Joy2Key. It lets you map controller buttons/sticks to the mouse and keyboard. That way you can use a controller to get the emulator running, then press a button that toggles Joy2Key once it's running. (so that you aren't still moving the mouse etc while you're playing) This works great with a PS3 controller and PS1 emulation. The PS1 doesn't have the Home button so you can use it to toggle J2K.

I have a SNES/Wii/PS1 and an old CRT monitor, which only supports VGA, and these consoles are RCA outputs

what i'm thinking is getting a capture card and hook it up on my PC to use the CRT, without recording anything

My budget isn't huge right now so I don't mind some degradation on quality, as long as it works without any noticeable delay

any help?

Does anyone have any experience with the PSP as an emulation device? I'm interested in the component video out cables, but I want to know if I can output PS1 and emulated games in 240p using them. I'm happy with using CFW plugins if necessary.

Depends on what the game is. If it's a game which works on modern Windows, you have to mount the iso and install.
If it's something older, then you'll either have to set up a virtual machine, DOSBox or something similar.

Hey guys! Is there a /vr/-approved frontend for Mame nowadays, or does Mame32UI still rule with an iron fist?

Also why the fuck does /vr/ need it's own emulation general when that's exactly the kind of thing that belongs in /vg/, which already has it's own emulation general with better information in the OP?

/vg/ emulation general is just shitty rumors and drama about emulator devs and kids asking about pcsx2 and dolphin

Convince me to use the Gambatte core on RetroArch instead of just using, you know, Gambatte.

I use M+ Gui. It`s lightweight and supports M1 player and UME.

hey guys, using retroarch for psx emulation, just wondering what graphics settings I want to change to get it to show up without the black bars on top/bottom

like I'm running at 1920x1080 but I want the game to be displayed in a 4:3 area

>>1899713
oh another thing about this: the psx boot screens display in 4:3, so I'm not sure what gives

For top/bottom disable integer scaling, it's in video settings somewhere. For left and right you can adjust the aspect ratio in video settings, but you shouldn't because most Playstation games will be stretched and look dreadful.

>>1899886
whether I have integer scaling on or off I still have the black bars on top/bottom, I'm playing Threads of Fate if that matters

Anyone here managed to get the 1993 Godzilla arcade game to work on MAME? Tried it on an older version of MAME and it wouldn't get past the title screen at all and on the most recent one it would run but the back ground screen would screw up whenever Godzilla moves.

>It use to be pretty good until they got that downloader that gives you malware

Even before then it hasn't had much of a good selection compared to other sites since like 2008.
