Retroarch literally forks emulators, transform them into their "cores" and give little recognition to the actual creators, just a string under like 2 or 3 menus that no one will ever touch. They are nothing but leeches and don't deserve half the recognition they have, since the actual UX part of the project that's one of the few things that was developed from scratch is an actual mess.

Only for some cores and mostly because the original devs never wanted the feature in their standalones in the first place. You can check commits on their cores, literally 90% is just merging changes from the master.

>>6243372
Maybe showing the real developers somewhere on the main screen? Linking to the source? Telling people to donate to them instead of asking for money and acting like they are doing everything on their own? There's a reason some emudevs don't like RA. About everything else, yes I knew about Snes9x because I still use it on a toaster. And who cares about picodrive, Genesis Plus GX is better. And no, it doesn't because I actually use it and I've been using it since it first came on the PS3, I just don't like how people give them all the credit, donating money and everything while their shit is still a mess after all these years.

Ultimately, he's pointing to two facts most of us knew, but plebs don't:
1. FPGA emulation is way harder to do right than software emulation.
2. But FPGA is worth it if you care about latency, as there's inherent latency to the software approach.

You're doing it right. Champion.

[Anonymous No.6245807]

>>6245641
The article was written because Analogue was throwing every software dev, not just Byuu, under the bus to sell their magic box to people. The article was stating that both FPGAs and software programs are Turing complete. Any computation one can do, so can the other. The accuracy of a solution is based on the developer, not on the technology. It's the artist, not the tool. Both the Super Nt and Higan have their share of bugs.

openemu has some bullshit (randomly doesn't work with PS1 USB controllers, still makes you edit a config file to play multi disc games despite being designed to "Just werk", not supporting PS2/gamecube etc because lol macs, some other bugs, glitches and performance issues) but ultimately it's mostly succeeded in making an emulator that doesn't fuck you around and makes it easy to just play games up to the PS1/N64 era. Retroarch is too consistently obtuse to be worth the effort (ah yes, the dreamcast core has crashed to the menu without so much as an error message again. excellent.) even after getting used to older standalone emulators messy UI's and borderline necessity to look up a screenshot of a config to make specific games work.

Sure they CAN, GPUs can do anything CPUs can after all, but encoding is either not supported depending on the situation, and when it is, it still look like shit, since they are simply not good at encoding for many reasons. NVENC for example, looks really bad when compared to x264 on CPU using the lowest presets, and that's why no one uses it, specially if we talk about older versions that were even worse (pic related is only available for RTX).
