Not just the Doom thread, the Roller Coaster Tycoon, and all those generals that are posted here. You would think with all those constant threads reaching their bump limit, they would do just fine in /vg/ where smaller generals are often pruned because they don't get replies as fast as the other threads

And that's the problem. Most people here are pretty hardcore with their games. They want jap only games, different regions and versions of the same game, headerless roms.
Average just doesn't cut it.

That's for good reason. A working SNES controller doesn't allow them, and some games break if you do. If you want to try say, that Zelda glitch, then it's at least a trivial source change to allow them.

If they're not Redump images then they're no good. But then the only source I've found for those is Rutracker, and it's probably a bit out-of-date.

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.

Most of the stuff in the software center is outdated, and i never seem to be able to compile right or anything...so am i just stuck, or is there a way to bleed some better emulation outta this toaster?

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.

If you're just looking to play imports, consider just modding a real console.

Are flashcarts a good alternative to N64 emulation? If so, is there a specific kind that I should consider over another? The two big ones I've heard of are Everdrive 64 and Drive 64, and from what I've gathered, the former is more accurate while the latter has more features.

Good god look at all these fuck nuggets in this thread bitching about doom and RTC generals. Here's how it works:

>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/.

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.

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..

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 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.

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.

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.

What gives anon? I remember visiting this place a couple weeks ago to see if I could get some better Saturn rips and I ran into this problem. Maybe I'm just lazy, I didn't really give it much thought since I can usually find sets on other sites.

It's every /vr/'s duty to download the entire catalog of retro systems, space permitting, to prevent the eventual tightening of security on ROMs available to the public. It's possible in the future such things will not be freely available on the internet, and the only way we'll be able to get ROMs is to dump them ourselves or know someone who has a set.

At least, that's the justification I use for having a 4.5 TB backup server holding as many archived games as possible, your milage may vary.

It looks better than the flat pixels. People freak out about people playing consoles on LCD screens, but freak out when people play with a CRT filter instead of playing an emulator on a LCD. Why?

It's obviously not as good as the real thing but it certainly looks more accurate.

I'm new to Retroarch and I'm finding it amazing so far. It's not yet my choice for emulation needs because of two problems: the Mupen64 core crashes before I start any game. So does any bsnes core, but then again there is always the Snes9X-next one.

I don't think I can trust Nitrorom. Their rip of SotN Japan 1.2 is very slightly different to Redump, pic related, and I was able to get a 1:1 match to Redump from my own disc, at least for the data track.

You're quite simply revealing how ignorant you are about technology. This is coming from a Windows user.

Linux is technologically superior. Any Unix is, actually. Just by virtue of being Unix. OS X is Unix, by the way. Windows is the only odd kid in the block. It's a wonder really how it managed to survive this long.

Just because something is good doesn't mean it's the dominant or popular choice. Lisp languages are in the highest tiers and have been for what, 60+ years? Yet, they aren't dominant, and the whole world is slowly reinventing what they had ages ago.

A slight boost in power and efficiency from my shitty hardware? Please. Windows is the best go-between between a brainless OS like OSX and something I need to read pages of documentation on like any common Linux distro.

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,

Definitely. I have a E6750 / 2.67Ghz Dual Core, which is a bit worse performing and it plays perfectly without a hitch with cgwg shader. Though if I ran a higher resolution the shader might be a problem, I think I've run into some slowdown with it (the shader, not base snes9x - that runs flawlessly). I run at 1280x960.

Make sure you get the latest testbuild versions not one of the older WIP's like iphers hanging around.

Wii VC versions are generally the best running versions at the moment.

I use project 64 1.6 for anything else.

Some people think mupen64plus is better but it has no gui whatsoever so everything must be changed in notepad++. It also requires you to drag the rom on the program to get it started. I have never gotten it to work with a single game. It always shits itself and I have a near top of the line computer so it ain't me.

People keep suggesting me to use Mednafen, but it crashes on the games I want to play (the only popular game I had on hand was FFVII and that did work flawlessly of course, but that's like saying N64 emulation is perfect when all you play is Mario 64).

Don't know. I don't run homebrew. I imagine it's not that hard.

However, with the right bluetooth dongle, you can use a wiimote on your PC which should give you all the same control options. Basically, any dongle that uses the Toshiba stack should work.

I was just playing Elebits with my wiimote on my PC the other day. Side note: It's nice that having a beefed up computer completely eliminated all the slowdown in that game.

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.

Also, I had no idea there was a PlayStation version of Gubble! I should try it!

It's very good. It emulates NES, PSX, GB/GBC and GBA perfectly. It runs also SNES and Genesis games alright but it's not perfect yet (you can play most RPG's from those consoles without problem)

Also PSP has good homebrew ports of Doom, Duke Nukem, Hexen, Heretic and Cave Story.

I have one and it's a blast. If it played SNES roms and romhacks, it would be so great....

But there's still hope. Retroarch 1.1 will have a PSP port, so we'll see where it gets.

They just have some stability issues and poor compatibility. People just like to argue about anything on 4chan.

One guy on Twitch, he was bitching about a Metroid hack he was playing crashing all the time, and I say to him "The hack was made for ZSNES." and he continues to rant about how the game is crashing all the time in addition to how ZSNES is shit.

He got to a point where he simply couldn't continue without crashing the game because he was so indoctrinated by the circlejerk he was unable to use an emulator that is known for hack compatibility.

More like developers didn't know better and just developed the thing back to back with ZSNES. This is not a matter of circlejerking. What if he wanted to run that hack on a flash cart? Would he still be part of the circlejerk? ZSNES is simply not acceptable by today's standards, and it keeps on being a relic of the past. No ZSNES 2.0 is going to save it, because the hacks rely on the same inaccuracies they are supposedly fixing.

Actually ZSNES is free and open source. It's just that the code is nightmarish to read and maintain. It's also partly coded in assembler, so it only works on x86 compatibles.

Most emulators actually look to emulate the target system, not duplicate bugs in other emulators! You could try and emulate ZSNES in DOSBox, or break an existing emulator if it's that important to you, BZSNES has a few helpful examples like the unlimited echo buffer. But it might be more productive to fix the hack itself.

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.

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?

>>	Anonymous Sat Aug 30 14:27:16 2014 No.1899713 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

>>	Anonymous Sat Aug 30 14:34:12 2014 No.1899739 >>1899713 oh another thing about this: the psx boot screens display in 4:3, so I'm not sure what gives

>>	Anonymous Sat Aug 30 15:21:45 2014 No.1899886 >>1899739 >>1899713 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.

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.
