I know there is one on /vg/ but it's gotten really shitty lately and I was hoping we could get a better thread going on /vr/.

Plus, I only really care about retro system emulation anyway, newer consoles like PS2 or Wii I just use softmods to load backup copies.

I'm not sure how you're still using those since those were DOS applications, unless you're running Windows 98...

Kega Fusion or Genesis Plus GX in RetroArch is the best option for Genesis emulation and Nestopia or FCEUX is the best for NES.

What's the best PS1 emulator ? I ended up using PCSXR because frankly most seem somewhat annoying to use.
I also went with the Peops soft driver. I'm more interested in a lightweight emulator/plugin because I'm currently using it on a laptop.

>What are you emulating
Last game I emulated was Resident Evil Code Veronica X on the PCSX2. I had played that game on the dreamcast when it first came out.

>That game you finally played after so many years and became on of your favourites
A few that I liked were Chrono Trigger, Castlevania Symphony of the Night and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.

>Emulation essentials
PCSX2Bonus frontend. Nice GUI and custom configurations for every game. Instead of having to change the settings every time you load up a different game.

SCP Driver to use your DS3. By far the most comfortable controller for emulation.

FOR GOD'S SAKE GET RID OF ZSNES. It's outdated. Snes9x should be reasonable enough for most people.

For PS1 emulation there's two routes. You either want compatibility or you want hi-res graphics. Compatibility: Mednafen. Use RetroArch as a frontend to make using mednafen a bit easier. Hi-res: PCSXR. Got a toaster? then use pSX emulator. But don't expect miracles.

I was gonna post this on the emulation thread on /v/ but it archived. So I just figured I'd copy and paste it here.

I posted this on the repair thread but I got no help.
Here's my situation:

The game I want to run is DK's Dinosaur Hunter 2.0 (1996). It runs on Win95-XP 32bit. I have Win7 64bit.
I mounted the game but I wouldn't let me install it, even after trying different compatibility modes.
After searching around a bit I installed Windows Virtual PC and XP Mode. I uncompressed the iso file and managed to install it there, but now it won't let me run the game and gives me this message "[1069]: Your Data Path (C:\ blah blah, the directory of the CD files) may be invalid. Do you wish to choose another?". Selecting either "Yes" or "No" does nothing other than closing the message window. I tried moving and renaming the directory but it does nothing.
I'm completely lost.

Unfortunately, all the PS1 emulators have upsides and downsides.

pSX is the easiest to use and runs on toasters, but it has a lot of compatibility issues, has been abandoned, and no one can improve it because the dev never released source.

Xebra is much more compatible and accurate, but its UI is confusing and obtuse. Also only sees updates every few years.

Mednafen is the most accurate PS1 emulator, but it is CLI-only (unless you use a frontend or RetroArch). It is also extremely picky about BIOS and dumps, which can be annoying, as there are a ton of shitty dumps out there.

PCSX-R is ok if you want HD graphics, but at least on Windows, it is unmaintained and has lot of issues. Shame, because it's the only one with a widescreen hack.

ePSXe is probably the best for HD graphics, though overall still has lower compatibility than Mednafen and Xebra. It is more tolerant of shitty dumps, though.

Although the inevitable earbleeding, the horrible old zsnes versions sound is somewhat nostalgic for me, I've been playing on it since it was unable to emulate MMX2 and X3 properly, it was a happy day when I read in Zophar they launched a version capable to emulate that special chip (forgot the name).

Try the Balanced profile, but if that doesn't cut it, Snes9x is almost just as good while being much, much faster. Don't bother with bsnes Performance.

http://wiki.libretro.com/index.php?title=Nintendo_SNES_Core_Compatibility

As you can see, the difference in compatibility boils down to only a handful of games, most of which few people care about, and some timing inaccuracies which you will probably not notice or care about unless that kind of thing rustles your autism.

I use bsnes Balanced because my rig can handle it 100% of the time, but realistically I cannot notice the difference between it and Snes9x 99% of the time. I think I can only recall one or two cases where there was an obvious difference in timing.

Well Win7 64 uses different directories from previous versions so if it gives the option to install somewhere else do so.

Beyond that you'll have much less headache if you just find a DOS version of the game (if its a win95 game it likely has one) and DosBox it. If it doesn't I'ld just say fuck it and use Win98 in virtual machine.

SNES9x GX has Super Scope support and WiiU Pro controller support now (yes on the Wii) but it has frame skipping just like any of Tantric's emulators on the Wii. Snes9x Next for Retroarch has speed improvements for games like SMW2, Starfox etc. as well as many customizable options but has no Super Scope support, but it will have WiiU Pro Controller support soon.

It's really up to you but i would go with Retroarch unless you badly want to play Super Scope games.

psX is very accurate and eats almost everything. Even games that do weird stuff like Ghost in the shell or Vib Ribbon.
Very easy to use and it works at least in Win7 64 bit. Haven`t tried Win8. It handles games with audio tracks/subchannel data very well.
The downside: no upscaling and shaders except some bilinear filtering.

Except its output is not pixel-accurate. I suspect it is HLE just like the PEOpS Soft plugin for ePXSe and PCSX-R. Hard to tell for sure because lol no source, but even a cursory comparison between it, real hardware, and other actually pixel-accurate emulators and plugins reveals inaccuracies. This shot, for instance, should not have dithering around the purple backdrop.

I will give it that it is very easy to use. Mednafen is overall better, but it lacking a proper UI out of the box and being so goddamn picky about BIOS and images tends to frustrate many.

>should not have dithering around the purple backdrop
That could be. By the way, gpuBlade and the Amidog gpu plugin seems to be more advanced than the Peops Soft plugin. I noticed that with Ghost in the shell, which uses some weird texture format and causes slowdowns in the Peops plugin. I rarely use software plugins, because honestly I like hires for most, not all , games better.

Have you tried wipeout 1 and 2097/XL in Mednafen? The audio is problematic in every emu/configuration I tried except the psX emu.

>>1989096
Those two plugins are pixel-accurate, so yes, they are much more advanced. PCSX-ReARMed's NEON plugin is also PA, as is Mednafen. Xebra is usually up there as well, but sometimes suffers from some inaccuracies. For example, it dithers the fuck out of pre-rendered backgrounds when such a thing doesn't happen in real hardware.

I've not tried Wipeout. Usually bad sound in emulation comes about due to not running the emulation at full speed or from bad sync, although a core issue is not out of the question, as is the case with Dino Crisis 2 and PCSX-R.

I should have been more specific about the wipeout audio. I meant there is no cd-audio. Tried different plugins/settings for epsxe, PCSX-R, three different ISOs I found online. Nothing worked properly. Loaded it in psX, et voila it works flawlessly.

I want to give a newer version of Mednafen a try to check how it handles some PS games. Is there another GUI for Mednafen except Retroarch?

That said, PCSX-R IS buggy as fuck these days. No real reason to use it over ePSXe if you want MUH HD, unless you wanna mess around with widescreen. Although another weakness is ePSXe not letting you use an alternative input plugin unless you use something like Shark.

Those are probably built with Posix threading (using libwinpthread) which only works on Windows Vista and later.

The NES is not a very intensive system. Nestopia is cycle-accurate, and still runs full speed on the Wii. Genesis also isn't that hard to emulate, but it helps that Genesis Plus GX is very well coded and optimized. It's not until you get to the SNES that older/weaker devices might start having issues with emulation, but even there the Wii can handle it rather well, especially if you use Snes9x-Next.

The PS1 is where shit really starts hitting the fan.

Nothing else, but when I set it up it said "no joypad driver". I had to put "dinput" in the retroarch config and then configure it in the UI after that.

Works so far for the mednafen psx core. The games, that it can load work but I have crackling audio sometimes. The core doesn`t seem to support savestates and there is no upscaling. It`s not bad and has a shitton of options, but I think I will stick with epsxe.

There is no way in hell something as weak as a Wii can possibly handle a general purpose PS1 emulator with a high degree of compatibility, unless it's written in PPC assembly or some shit. WiiSX is based off an ancient version of PCSX, and even then it struggles with most of what it CAN run.

Like I said, it would have to be an emulator written from the ground up for the Wii. No one is ever gonna bother doing such a thing, not when the scene is as dead as it is. The whole reason they went with the PCSX codebase in the first place is because it was a portable codebase they could immediately adapt for use with the Wii with some tinkering, but there is only so much you can do with an old, and may I add incomplete codebase, and especially so when the hardware is as restrictive as it is.

You call it laziness, I call it knowing when you've reached a practical ceiling. It's a miracle they got the thing to play any games at all.

Yeah that's why they showed massive progress and then suddenly canned it without release or reason right. Re-writing the dynamic recompiler for both WiiSX and Wii64 was going to give them a lot more room to work with, they even had success with implementing virtual memory, but nope it's that damn ceiling's fault isn't it?

Ironically, it IS recommended to use an older version of ZSNES over the newest one. The latest version (1.51, released in 2007) is riddled with regressions compared to version 1.42 (released in 2005), which coincidentally was the last release from the original developers of the emulator before they left the project.

Even then, it is wholly inferior to Snes9x in every aspect save speed and perhaps netplay, and the former does not matter unless you're still using a fucking Pentium III.

Well, one thing you must be aware of is that some CRT monitors are better than others. As a general rule, the bigger the monitor, the better its specs are. For instance, most 17" monitors do not go above 1280x1024@60Hz, whereas bigger monitors above 19" often achieve 1600x1200@75Hz or beyond.

Other than that, it comes down to research. You really cannot go wrong with monitors made by Sony, Mitsubishi, NEC, ViewSonic, or Samsung. A lot of Dell monitors also used tubes made by the aforementioned manufacturers, and are of relatively high quality. Still, I would at least do a cursory google search on specific models that you find, and look up their specs. Keep in mind they get quite bulky at 19" and above, but again, that is where the really good shit lies, although a good 17" monitor can still work wonders.

I appreciate the thorough response. My only experience with crt's has come from playing competitive Smash on the 64, where people refuse to play on a non-crt for tournament play. So, the last 3 years I've aquired about 8 crt televisions with size being a non-issue for anyone. The monitor I'm looking at now is a 19'' ViewSonic A91f+, and cnet tells me it has a native resolution of 1792x1344. This sounds good for $10. You're right about the bulk. It weighs 42 lbs, but my biggest crt tv weighs at least 3 times that.

You can map most if not all of these in the RGUI. You shouldn't have to manually enter these into the cfg.

Ensuring that the correct input device is selected in RetroArch for your specific device is important. Which is why you shouldn't map them through the cfg but through the RGUI or the Joypad mapping utility.

I have a question. The wiki/sticky say that snes looks best through composite, and I have a wii with composite cables that I emulate with. Is the snes putting out the best quality video through this method?

Anonymous Tue Oct 14 03:28:58 2014 No.2003746

>>2003719

>Looks best with composite.
This is untrue. The best analog video formats are RGB and Component. Composite video washes out and blurs colours and inserts ugly jitterimg artifacts.
Check the ports your TV has. Component and RGB (usually SCART) are nearly equal in quality but Component supports higher resolutions for newer games. S Video is also a massive step above composite but the colour isn't as vibrant.

I wouldn't say it has a ton. It just as a decent amount of configurability. I wish the NTSC shimmering/frames worked properly. It's the only thing ZSnes does better in that regard. Though I suppose it'd be nice to have the option for it to work the way it does currently as well, but it doesn't wiggle like a TV does.

Turn off field merging in the NTSC filter.

Themaister's NTSC shader does the alternating fringing artifacts on the composite versions of the 3-phase (NES, SNES, N64) and 2-phase (Mega Drive, PC-Engine, PlayStation) variants. The S-video versions lack the fringing artifacts.

how far forward can I go with emulation?
I know that SNES is pretty much perfect (if not 100%), and that NES, GB/C/A, pre-Jaguar Atari, and pre-Saturn Sega are at least playable. But what about newer stuff. N64, Saturn, Dreamcast, Jaguar, PS1, 3DO, PS2. I ask because I'm on the fence about selling off my collection and using the money to buy a better PC. And since all of my CD based systems are modded (at least the ones that can be anyways), I'm trying to figure out if what I should sell, and what I should hold on to.

>I ask because I'm on the fence about selling off my collection and using the money to buy a better PC
If you can afford to keep it, don't sell your shit. Emulation on most 5th gen & below like NES, SNES, GB/C, Master System, MSX, Genesis/CD, and TurboGrafx are nearing perfection, but everything after that gets real iffy. Saturn is only good in SSF, PS1 is only good via Mednafen in terms of accuracy. I can't comment on DC, Jag or 3DO, but from what I understand they're not good enough to replace the real thing yet. PS2 & N64 are still fuck awful, especially the latter. If you have both systems, keep them and go the modchip & flashcart route. Just save your pennies and by individual parts peacemeal at a time for a custom build to save some money. If you really want to emulate, save it for arcade games unless you want to collect arcade boards and go the Supergun route.

The Wii is has enough power to emulate the PSX in software perfectly and then some. There was already very fast very compatible PSX emulators for far weaker PowerPC mac hardware (see Connectix Virtual Gamestation for macs) and then there's Bleemcast for Dreamcst. The difference with those is that those aren't open source so they had to use portable code that was incomplete and not written for that architecture to begin with (necessitating rewriting the dynamic recompiler). There's a difference between "this is as far as we can get with this hardware" and "well I have better shit to do than code this"

You won't get many RARE games working good (although some do) but most other games work well through a combination of virtual console/Not64. Virtual Console is actually the most accurate N64 as of now so if you wanna play some 22 games super accurate, that's the way to do it.

No, the virtual console is not as accurate as you think. It doesn't get a lot of effects right on several games, most notably mario 64's vanish cap effect. Its good at running the games well without glitches, but accuracy-wise, its not a whole lot better than using project64 with glide64. Only thing is, it does run a couple of games better, such as mario tennis.

Hey /vr/, /sp/ here, very new to emulation here and I hear you guys are by far the most chill/helpful of the /v/ boards so I figure this is the best place to ask. Bear in mind as I ask questions I'm a noob with this stuff: I've only used two emulators in my life: ZSNES, and snes9x. I loved the latter because it could play SMRPG without dropping horribly in sound quality like ZSNES did.

What are, in /vr/'s opinion, the best emulators for NES, SNES, N64, PS1, and PS2?

Also, what are the best places to grab ROMs from? I think I used doperoms and coolrom in the past, but I'm sure you guys know better sites than the pleb/gigantic userbase ones I used.

Not that guy, but yes, you can configure the controller to work with other systems. Usually you just go into the settings and select "input" or "input devices" in your emulator to change the button layout. You may even be able to play some modern games with it if they allow you to change your keys.

Controller adapters are pretty plug and play. At most you toss on the driver for it and then it pops up in your gamepads section.
The Xbox or PS3/4 using native USB or bluetooth or whatever can sometimes be a bit more tricky to get working, but it can go smoothly.

Use snes9x.
N64 is still buggy but PJ64 1.7 or 1.6 is decent. For PD and GE you might want to pick up 1964 GEPD Final 4 or whatever the latest variance is for mouse/keyboard mapping with the mouse injector and full framerate. (antivirus likes to attack it though so you might need to deal with that if you're using it)

Vista isn't that outdated, it's just a slightly older shittier version of 7. That being said pretty much everything you'll come across runs on even Win2k.

Someone might say, higan or retroarch with higan core. Tell them to fuck right off with your old dualcore 2.3 that'll be shit.

Personally I'm fond of using the Wii Classic Pro controller if you can get your hands on one. Perhaps an Xbox controller would be okay too. The PS2 controllers are nice but the analog face buttons can require full presses to register.

As for SNES roms : Shadowrun, Actraiser, Aladdin, B.O.B., Castlevania, Demon's Crest, Earthbound, Kirby, Rocky and Pocky, Secret of Mana, Zombies Ate My Neighbors.

Depends if you want 4:3 or 1:1 aspect ratio, wha game you are playing, if you have overscan enabled or cropped, etc...

Yes, Retroarch on Wii is so badly coded that it can not set the proper resolution for you automatically. Instead, some "genius" had the brilliant idea to fill the video settings with thousands of possible "resolutions" setups (although they are only different scaling setups actually) and let the unfortunate user pick the good one everytime he wants to try a new core, a new game or mess with core settings.

Awesome, RA devs ! This is what we call ergonomy and usability !

Anonymous Thu Oct 23 18:34:18 2014 No.2023819

>>2023552

use 1:1 PAR (doesnt work)
Point filter
Search the native resolution of your game and set the resolution/aspect accordingly. Retroarch can be a real whore sometimes. For nes/snes i highly reccomend nesgx/snesgx. And whatever the popular genesis one is. The dev of snes/nesgx has the 'secret sauce' for perfect pixels.

I only use retroarch now for its fba cores, mame, neogeo and other shit that isnt covered by standalone nes/snes/megadrive emulators.

This is with wii in mind by the way, retroarch pc is some good shit.

When it comes to touchscreen emulation, what type of genre of games do you normally play?

Me, it was originally just turn-based games like RPG's. But I've started to experiment on other games that require fast acting responses.

I'd say games that don't require fast reflexes or precision is a-ok in my book.

Like beat-em-up brawls is completely fine. All you have to do is line up your character and attack.

But platformers like Shantae, Mega Man, Mario would not work since you have to successfully land on platforms, enemies, dodge projectile attacks, ect.

Stunt Racer 64 is one of the handful of notoriously hard N64 games to emulate. AFAIK the best way to get it to run is to download Project64 2.1, along with HatCat's RSP. In the RSP settings, there should be an option specifically for that game to boot up and run.

Original Xbox controller is literally a USB gamepad, with a different plug shape. I imagine you could use something different, as long as it maps up similarly?

Retroarch Wii has shit resolution handling unless you set things manually yourself for every system. As in, you won't get the true output for anything out of the box, unlike other builds.

There are better emulators in terms of speed and resolution output for NES, SNES, Master System and Genesis that are out there, with much better UI's.

Unless you feel like tinkering, RA-Wii is only useful for things that can't otherwise be emulated.

The SNES Blargg NTSC filter works in SNES9x (not in bsnes due to its usage of 32-bit color output, which the filter isn't built to handle).

If that doesn't work, then you can try Themaister's NTSC 256px shader, as it is quite authentic looking too.

PSP is great for pretty much everything before PSX. The lack of a second analog stick on the right side, as well as no L2/R2, can make a lot of PSX games a huge pain to play, which is pretty much the only thing that the JXD seems to 1-up the PSP on.

it should already be saving config files, sounds like you're running into this issue:
https://github.com/twinaphex/libretro-mame/issues/25

I had to go and manually create a \saves\MAME\cfg\ folder for it to work for me, it was picky about the allcaps MAME too. Trying to use save states (within mame) still only returns this: "Error: Failed to open file for save operation", so it still has problems creating files and isn't 100% fixed I guess.

there's another dood here with a similar issue:

HyperSpin and OpenEmu are not really comparable. The former is just a launcher for standalone emulators, which is why it requires a lot of setup. The latter is a full-fledged multi-emulator ecosystem that uses cores ported to a specific API, then hooked up through a singular frontend. In that sense, OpenEmu is actually more similar to RetroArch and BizHawk.

If you want something that JUST WERKS, maybe try BizHawk. You won't get all the power user features of RetroArch or all the rice from OpenEmu, however.

two things to consider

>Try to not patch IOSes lower than 100 with trucha bug.

Getting things to work well on a wii is not hard if you read well before doing anything. You shouldn't have problems getting the basics done

>Run wii games from your HDD or SD
>Install emulators

You will require some time reading and tweaking stuff if you want to

>Getting complicated games to run (Modern warfare 3, Monster hunter 3, Project M, Mario Kart Wii custom tracks)

I had a JXD s5800 (the smartphone)

It performs great. The analog sticks are very good, the battery life is pretty good, and you can run Marvel VS Capcom 2 and Ikaruga through Reicast.

It can emulate everything up to Playstation and PSP perfectly.

THE BAD PART

>The build quality is not very good, and the volume rockers broke down with the first fall.
>The D-pad "squeaks" because of the rubber (you can replace it with a N64, DC or SNES D-pad rubber if you want to take the risk)

It'll be absolutely fine. SNES9X, and then Project64 or mupen64plus.

As mentioned before, Buffalo for SNES controllers.

For other controllers, you have a LOT of options. Xbox 360, Xbox One, DS3, DS4, GCN (using a USB adapter): all work well.
Personally, I like GCN, but when I need moar buttans, DS4. Both are pricey, GCN largely because of the adapter requirement.

Have a hardware question but still up your alley I think. I'm using snes9x 1.51 and it works great for the games I run. The issue is the controller - bought a logitech F310 controller and it was so damned buggy the system froze more than once.

Is there a different option than "learn how to splice a dogbone to a USB input"?

Lightyear is a litle bit exagerating.

Only SNES has better speed in RetroArch Wii.

The rest already runs fullspeed in standalones, which indeed have better UI, better handling of video output and more features like cheats or lightgun support, so the majority of people still prefer using them. RetroArch is more convenient though if you don't like having to return to Homebrew Channel to change emulators.

I had managed to get GBA.EMU on my ipad and a spare ROM. But it feels like I am missing something in this emulator. The games I had ran seem a bit bright.

Here's a screenshot from my tablet.

Am I missing something to make this look better?

That's how GBA games actually look. Thing is, the original GBA screen was dark as shit, so a lot of games were developed with overly bright and saturated palettes to offset it. This is especially obvious on ports of SNES games like Super Mario World and FFVI, where there is a direct comparison to be made. In any case, they obviously didn't look that bright on the GBA's shitty screen, so that's why games may seem brighter than you might remember them looking like.

Some games have ROM hacks that desaturate the colors so they don't look so bright, but aside from that, another option would be to use some kind of shader, which your emulator likely does not support.

I h-have a question that I cannot solve: While using Project64, I am unable to use both triggers at the same time on my 360 controller.

I used the left and right trigger to aim+shoot in James Bond but it automatically cancels the aiming action(left) when I shoot(right).

I am not exactly sure why this is happening.

A DVD game burned to CD. You have to use the same media as the original game used unless you manually edit the ISO from CD to DVD.
The switches you modified do not check if the game is original, they if the disc tray is open. The mod you did makes the PS2 think the tray is always closed. When the tray closes or the system first powers on the disc drive authenticates the disc - if the disc is authentic, then the system is allowed to read the disc. If not, the disc cannot be read. Therefore you have to use an authentic game, open the disc drive, and replace it with your copy. The mod you did means that the PS2 will not know the drive has been opened and therefore will not recheck the disc, so the copy will play. Note that the authentic game must use the same media as the copy unless you converted CD to DVD as above.
However the disc drive will still spin, so the motor will be likely damaged if you try to swap the game at this point. Homebrew such as Swap Magic (a purchasable disc) or Cogswap (A free file that can be run if you have FreeMCBoot or another homebrew launcher) is used to stop the disc so that they can safely be swapped.
Using ESR still requires a hombrew launcher but doesn't require a swap trick. This requires patching the ISO before burning and also only works with DVD games.
I think the best thing to do at this point is try to get a FreeMCBoot installer disc, because then you can use Cogswap or ESR without risk of further damage to the drive. The only problem at this point is being able to swap that disc into your system without damaging the motor - if the authentic game you're playing stops the disc drive at any point, then you might be able to safely swap.

Scratch that; if you're fast enough and you don't hold the motor in place for too long, you should be able to swap the discs without causing major damage.
I wouldn't do it frequently, so it's best to go through the FreeMCBoot + cogswap/ESR route because it'll be the only time you have to swap a disc without the disc slowing.

I see. Well, just remember that the disc you're swapping to has to be the same kind you're swapping from. IIRC, CD games have a blue bottom.
Also, swapping should be done on the PS2's menu instead of in the game.
Don't swap too frequently while the disc is still spinning, because it will definitely reduce the disc drive's lifespan.
Here's a tutorial for creating a FreeMCBoot CD.
http://bootleg.sksapps.com/tutorials/fmcb/disc.php
If you only have DVDs to swap from, you should use this tutorial to make your FreeMCBoot CD DVD size afterwards. Do everything except the final step (ESR patching) because ESR patched games will only work with ESR.

A used Wii is probably cheaper, the emulators have better interfaces (that you can navigate just with a controller), it's easier to hook up to a CRT TV, and it can also play Wii and Gamecube games. Compared with an old PC , the Wii is also smaller and makes less noise.
