Windows 98 desktop (an hp with pent 3) is where I started, then xp nebook (acer from 2009 and don't recall specs), then older xp laptop (dell from like 2006ish with 1.8 ghz and etc), then android tablet, then android phones, then windows 7 netbook from probably 2010ish(1.6 ghz and 2 gigs ram).

I use both the android phone that has 1.8 ghz and the win7 laptop with 1.6 ghz. Which is better is a back and forth sort of thing, but generally this android I found on the ground that costs 150+ while no longer in production is good for it. It's even okay with some vr, or was before the free shit self destructed from jewgle play. Speaking of jewgle play, I have to disconnect from wifi to play games. Sim would probably need that removed too, but I don't actually zoom.exe so I've never had a smart phone sim even though I use smart phones for reading and emulation and such. 1.4 ghz and half a gig of ram is good for lots of things when I started years ago with some 7'' tablet with 4.4 android on it. Since then 5 version had better features, but after that it's a downgrade as usual. Even android went to shit. Speaking of shits I'm going to go take one, or I'd try to remember the specs more. Point is win9x I miss, but win7 and modern droids are okay.

SNES emulation is pretty shit on the Vita, N64 as well. It's great for emulating just about everything else though.

[Anonymous No.7103391]

I can't do emulation anymore.

Real hardware with flash carts or disc drive replacements has been achievable for most systems for a while now, and clone consoles are getting more and more accurate as well. Running some software emulator always results in input lag, various visual glitches, and the absence of many effects present on original hardware.

I like my old 3DS for GBA games, it runs them alright and usually gets the job done. Same with DS games. I have a vita but I prefer the clamshell design, and I bought a nice bag to go with my 3DS. Just wish there was one that did SNES emulation justice.

Bringing it with me to work is kind of a pain, but I don't mind.

My job gives me a shitload of free time. Are any of those modified phones / Chinese handhelds actually good for emulation? I'd love to buy one, but I've chosen against it until I gathered the proper research.

I use a PSP Go because of the form factor and excellent d-pad. The Vita is a tantalising prospect in the future if the homebrew scene matures but right now my PSP is smaller and has better battery life.

PSP is obviously really old hardware and you'd assume that these newer machines would be better as a result, but they're just bad. Main issue for me is none of them have build quality on the same level as a DS/PSP. The d-pads are bad, the buttons mushy, the plastic cheap. I get that's it's really tough to put in the R&D to make something as robust and premium feeling as a PSP but even so, you'd think someone would do it. I'd pay a lot of money for a modern machine with a 5x integer scale for 240p and good inputs, but that does not exist.

PSP 3k or Go are both good options that have different niches. I like my Go for the better screen and d-pad but the 3k definitely has some advantages of its own.

Despite owning many handelds, the PSP Go is still my go-to handeld for me.
The fact that it can emulate two of the consoles i care the most about perfectly (PS1 and Genesis / Megadrive) alongside having some solid native ports on it makes it really attractive for me, not to mention the small size of it being perfect for putting it in your pocket or bag without taking much space.
I'm still looking forward into getting a Gameboy Micro, as well as waiting for third party offerings like the Retroid Pocket and RG351P to improve hardware and software wise (since from my own research they don't seem to be perfectly capable of emulating 5th gen well, which is what i'm mainly looking after); As i'm a sucker for small handelds.

Depends on what Switch you have. Early revisions have a gaping hardware vulnerability that makes the thing really easy to hack in such a way that Ninty can't patch it out (beware of updating though, since they can still break CFW through updates, but never the exploit itself). If you picked up the switch within the first year or so, you should have one that can do it. There's a way of determining if you can do it by checking the serial number on the back. Just go to /hbg/ on /vg/ and there's a guide in the first post.

If it's not hackable this way, you can still get a modchip, though I'm not sure how easy they are to acquire with how hard Ninty are attacking the creators.

Bricking is difficult to do (though beware of downloading random games online, since they can technically do it). However, Ninty can ban your console from ever going online if you're not careful, so keep that in mind.

However, I've never used the online once, so don't care. Very good emulation machine.

Nintendo literally had some cops break down the doors of Team Executor or something that was doing modchips and also charging people to access Nintendo ROMs and arrest them, so they're priddy serious.
I'll either wait a while or just get another Switch for hacking.

Not really since they're going after people who offer ROMs that Nintendo doesn't own or even have a license to use, like Intellivision ROMs;et al. Also that taxpayer dollars are being used to go after those who sell devices that just allow for what people are going to do anyway in other manners is extremely stupid and evil when you realize that they look the other way while the country is literally burned to the ground.

Yes, it's madness. They even claim it's "exactly what Team Xecuter" was doing when they know damn well it's not the same thing. "Exactly"would be if Team Xecuter stole real property, e.g., a shipment of real Nintendo Switch's, or if they got a hold of all the documentation and built their own exact clones of the Switch;etc.
Yeah, we know that, but they know that too is my point. At the end he says it's not a game, but they're playing it like it is because they're not going by the law that's for sure.

I have my specific go-to's for each system but I finally took the Retroarch pill a few days ago, the interface took awhile to get used to and it's more unstable the more content that you directly import into the RA tray menu BUT being able to switch emulator cores and games without even having to alt+tab is fucking AWESOME. As long as you know that there's console-specific settings in the quick-menus you'll be good, I dismissed this program for a long time and I regret never using it until now.

PS it supports netplay, the retroachievements website so you get community-approved achievements, and you can download cover art for games. It's not perfect though - Dolphin is a fucking pain in the ass to use with RetroArch for some ungodly reason.

Yeah, I won't lie and say Retroarch is shitty, but I still avoid it unless I am forced to use it because the other emulators failed. So for me, use two versions of Retro one on PC the other on the Wii and for both I run precious few games, but yes they run perfectly.

Why? There's asstons of good games for it, especially retro. I buy games from their eshop and it's pretty great and they effectively give rebates for most games that you can save for tax or more games.

I don't blame anybody for not wanting to deal with the default RA interface and sticking to standalone emulators. The time spent looking for/researching the most accurate RetroArch cores (ESPECIALLY just finding that fucking Dolphin one that they took off the application's core database so it's a giant fuckaround) is ridiculous compared to simply looking up the most accurate emulator for the console you want to play and downloading/running it in a few minutes at most. The QoL features hidden in the dumb menus are what keeps me coming back to RA, but I understand now why people avoid it.

I lack a Nintendo subscription so there may be some games that I want them to sell that they're essentially just renting anymore, but I can't wait to get comfy with every version of Military Madness and Splatterhouse, but so far nothing (as far as I can see) , then Nintendo worries over emulation.

Nintendo, if you're here in some capacity reading, please understand: I've paid you many times over for your games; my Switch is my property, but since I get online, I accept that you will prevent me from modifying MY Switch so that I can adhere to YOUR online rules; however I reserve the RIGHT to modify MY Switch at any time to add any number of fully LEGAL emulators and software.

you really don't see the difference between not being able to emulate n64 at full speed and struggling with the fucking snes? nah, it's far from the "same thing".
it still proves you wrong though, seeing as how the RP2 is capable of emulating all of those systems at playable framerates. even though yes, it's not perfect, it's still far better than what the vita can do.

the vita can run gow at full speed and many other psp titles which is ridiculous considering the vita is what 7 or 8 years old and your chink shit are fairly new, same argiment, your devices can't into those platforms.

once again, there is a bunch of few games that don't run at fullspeed, that's not an argument to pretend it literally cannot emulate the system quite well in most of the cases.

Hello everyone, I recently got interested by emulation after hearing about Shadow Hearts, and a bit after that I've heard about Koudelka, playing it right now. I downloaded both emulators for PS1 and PS2, but a bit before that I was considering getting a PS Vita since Christmas is getting closer and I had heard it was pretty good for emulation. I was also considering a Retroid Pocket 2, but I'm getting mixed reviews, some people say it's a great handheld device, powerful and well-made, other says it's bad, unfinished and I should wait more. What do you guys recommend?

Also related question, I have my PC and TV on opposite ends of the room, and I'd like to play on my TV, since I have a PS3 controller, but emulating from my PC. What should I do? I was planning on getting an extra long HDMI cable to connect them, but I have no idea how to manage Bluetooth connection.

[Anonymous No.7109961]

you're so retarded you don't realize your argument also fits the RP2/RG351. but let's compare them anyway:
>RP2/RG351: struggles with PSP but can run several titles at playable framerates, same with N64, DC and DS, everything else runs flawlessly
>vita: struggles with SNES but can run several titles at playable framerates, can't emulate N64, DC or DS at all, has native PSP support
it's also important to note that there's no shame in not being able to run systems like the N64, DC, DS or PSP at full speed, even phones struggle with Chains of Olympus. it is however a joke that a device as able as the vita can't even do SNES properly.

regardless, this is all moot. your original post was:
>vita can do more than those chink shit tho
it literally can't. even if you ignore the PSP, can it emulate N64, DS or DC? no? then 3 > 0
>and it's cheaper
I can only find them for around 150. you said you can grab an used one for 80, which is what a RP2 costs. so at the very least no, it's not cheaper. best case scenario they're the same price.
