Specifically want to play some old RPGs like FF7, 8, 9, Tactics, Valkyrie Profile and such.

I use psx 1.13 but there may be better ones out there

So I've just downloaded mednafen, got the right BIOS which is SCPH-5501.bin and tried to drag my .cue to mednafen.exe

Nothing happens. Any help?

It depends on what you're looking for. Myself, I like using RetroArch with the Mednafen plugin, or Mednafen itself through the Mednaffe frontend.

It depends on what you are looking for

>psX 1.13
Easisest to set up and get working, has some game specific/hardware bugs that will never be fixed. Native resolution only

>pcsxr
Best plugin performance and the best at higher resolutions. Not updated too often and is starting to age.

>epsxe
Game specific performance issues despite being regularly updated. Has some awesome new program features (memcard options, game specific configs) Runs most games OK

>Retroarch/mednefen/beetle
IMO the best where it counts. Regular updates, great performance/compatibility has all the features mentioned above and then some.

CONS- Each game should be configured from a menu of about 30 options. Once you find the right combination of settings it will run like butter. Some games have Trouble at higher resolutions hence the configuration

>> No.3635072

>>3635024
Did you tell it where to find it on the .cfg config file?
Mednafen is also a bit picky about bad BIOS

Shouldn't it be on the firmware folder?

I got the right bios which is SCPH-5501 according to the wiki. Nothing happens, though. I'm dragging my .cue to the exe but nothing happens.

>> No.3635130

>>3635058
From what I hear PCSXR is best for 3D games. What about 2D games with a lot of sprites like FFT?

>> No.3635132

>>3635058
Mednafen runs like anus if you crank the resolution up, though. Unless you have a monster rig or you're fine with playing at native res, stick with PCSXR-PGXP/EPSXE

>> No.3635134

>>3635130
Mednafen because it's the most accurate. Its only flaw is that it runs A LOT slower than other emulators, but unless you have a toaster, that shouldn't be a problem at native res (and increasing internal res is not something you want to do for 2D games anyway)

>> No.3635135

Retroarch with a good crt shader

>> No.3635142

OP here. Gonna try Retroarch since Mednafen is failing me.

>> No.3635148

... RetroArch isn't an emulator
RetroArch is a frontend for emulators. One of the emulators available for RetroArch is Mednafen/Beetle/whatever.

You're retarded.

>> No.3635153

>>3635148
you're an autist. retroarch is easier to cinfugre than mednafen or byuu-retarted higan bsnes . nthe only case where i wouldnt emulate via retroarch is msx or mame

>> No.3635157

>>3635148
Wew lad, stop with the salt. Obviously I'm new at emulating stuff past basic SNES.

I asked for emulators and people posted Retroarch so I assumed it was one.

>> No.3635159

>>3635124
You need to tell it where it is located in the .cfg file.

>a frontend for an emulator is easier to configure than a standalone emulator with no frontend
no shit sherlock, oh how did you manage to come to that conclusion? must've taken a lot of brainpower.

>> No.3635176

Retroarch is a bloated piece of shit.
It's got some really nice features that standalone emus lack, but that's about it. Everything else is fucking spaguetti code and laggy UI.

http://mednafen.fobby.net/documentation/#Section_firmware_bios

According to this I shouldn't need to do anything? Or am I just dumb?

I didn't touch the config and I put the bios under main folder\firmware

What am I doing wrong here?

>> No.3635201

>>3635195
Try settings the path yourself.
Did you check the md5? Are the bios good?

>> No.3635205

>>3635201
Tried to manually path it. Nothing. Mind sending me your config file?

>> No.3635207

>>3635205
Then either the BIOS or the game's image file are bad.

>> No.3635218

>>3635207
I don't think so as I'm using them on other emulators.

I guess I'll just stick with PCSXR.

>> No.3635224

>>3635218
Other emulators don't care about accuracy, that's why they work with shitty bios.

>> No.3635227

>>3635224
What shitty BIOS? I got SCPH-5501 - the only one that works on it specifically.

I tried everything and it does not work. That's why I asked for a working config. Apparently these working configs are too valuable to be shared or no one in this thread has one.

Use RGUI then? XMB is optional.

It's not bloated when it runs on stuff like Wii...

been using Xebra for a while and it hasn't failed me. Since I'm only obsessed with getting the games running, it's my go-to emulator.
