Needs to be superimposed over the real world with a holo-lens so you can play your Game Boy while you're outside doing other things. Of course then holo-lens would need to be more portable.

The problems I have are generally the same ones that come up every time someone bashes RetroArch around here (and then promptly gets shit on by people like >>6040507). I'm an old man. Old for this site anyway (35), and I only have so many hours in the day that I can fool around with cores and shaders and whatever the heck libretro is. I remember when RetroArch first came out it was supposed to simplify emulation, but with a terrible GUI and a mindnumbing number of options, I feel like it's done anything but that. I once spent a week fixing up all the cores to my liking only to lose everything in a hard drive crash a few months later.

I just miss the simplicity of standalone emulators like Snes9X and Nestopia. But everytime I see a thread here boasting about how great X shader is it always turns out to be some RetroArch crap--and I just don't have time for that. All I want is to able is for my ROMs, and ESPECIALLY my Game Boy ROMs, to look that good.

RetroArch is good for shaders and overall for multipurpose emulation. Those are its objective strengths. Some people may not like its shaders, but the alternative is having none, so RetroArch's strength still remains.

I feel like people overrate how complex RetroArch actually is. I understand the GUI is not the best, as it is inspired by the PS3 GUI. But it does get the job done. And setting up the emulator isn't particularly hard, and when it comes to choosing cores I simply go to http://emulation.gametechwiki.com and look up what the recommended core for each console is. Shaders are completely optional.

And personally I find RetroArch's shaders to be far easier to activate than stuff like ReShade.

Standalones are 'fine' but not excellent. Vsync/frame pacing is all over the place, as is input lag, and don't get the shaders you want to use.

If you play enough old games it will make your experience better moving forward to get over the hump. It's not that bad. Just download Stellar ( https://github.com/StellarUpdater/Stellar/releases )
) , select new install, let it download all the cores and shaders and shit, and then you can just load ROMs into it and you're good. I'm a 35 year old full time wagie as well, and it's just worth it if you care at all about this shit, which you probably do being /vr/ and all.

And now you see you get drive by posts from people shitting on RetroArch without saying they dislike it. The moment you lament that playing with such niceties as shaders isn’t as quick a setup as setting your favorite video filter on old emus like FCEUX and Project64, you’re insulted for not following some mythical 10 minute guide.

Thanks. I will check that out, because admittedly it has been a couple of years since I messed around with RA.

I'm trying to spoonfeed you. One reason RA takes a tad longer, is that it'll be your one stop program to just load most of your ROMs into once it's done, and what I gave you should just about take you there, if not completely.

I will say, don't bother with MAME, Dosbox, and PPSSPP, or any micro computer core in RA. They are all kinda problematic and will give you headaches. Mupen 64 core works pretty well, but you'll need to use the Parallel core for the rare game now and then. Finally, Flycast is good but it still will occasionally struggle where standalone Redream and NullDC won't, but those have their own problems because DC still doesn't have a definitive emulator. Those asterisks aside this has you covered all the way to 5th gen.

Now that you mention it, this may be why I have such bad memories of RA. Last time I had it installed on a laptop I spent an enormous amount of time playing arcade games via the MAME core and, as you said, I ran into headaches. So then you’d recommend MAME and DOSBox separately, right?

That shader was like the first thing I ever programmed that wasn't just dicking around. The DMG shader part at least, the border was added by someone else. Funny that it's probably the only thing I've worked on that's actually been used by more than a dozen people.

I haven't maintained it at all since the initial release, I wonder if it's still as terribly written as it was back then or if someone went through and rewrote it.

You need to jump to the next integer to get enough horizontal res to actually make the shadowmask look okay. For SNES, 1460x1120 is the way to go.
>the fuck? why use 1460 horizontal?
The proper way to turn a scaled 8:7 image into 4:3 is to multiply the horizontal resolution (256) by the amount of times we want to scale it (in this case, 5), multiply by 8, divide by 7. So (256*5)8/7 This gives us 1462 and a messy remainder. Round it down 1462, remove the 2 for a nice even 1460. For the vertical resolution, we just multiply that by the time we're scaling (again, 5 in this case) for 224*5 which gives us 1120.
>but anon, 1120 is more than 1080!
Yes it is, 40 pixels will be off-screen, or 1.7% of the top, and 1.7% of the bottom. Thankfully, this is well within overscan, so we lose no important frame data, and get a much larger image to boot.

The resolution you're using (1196x896) has 1,071,616 pixels. The visible screen area in mine (1460x1080) has 1,576,800 pixels, or 47% larger on the same screen, and is scaled exactly as it should be. This gives you much more room to make shaders look decent.

I set the core aspect ratio to 1460x1120 and this is what I got.

Also if I use retroarch's screenshot key, I get an image with a black bar cutting off the bottom of the image. Is this a sign that I'm doing something wrong? Or do I just have to set a custom offset?

>> No.6042034

>>6041995
You need to offset the image in the resolution settings by the amount of pixels and save it as a core override. For snes9x, it would look like this:

aspect_ratio_index = "23"
custom_viewport_height = "1120"
custom_viewport_width = "1460"
custom_viewport_x = "230"
custom_viewport_y = "-20"
video_aspect_ratio = "16.000000"
video_scale_integer = "false"

We're offsetting the x by 230 because 1920 - 1460 is 460, and then dividing that by 2, which gives us 230 and will perfectly center the image. We're offsetting the y axis by -20 because 1120 - 1080 = 40, and again dividing that by 2, for 20 on each side, centering the image vertically.

The menus are a lot more intuitive now, and setting up the shaders you want on the fly is a breeze. I STILL have version 1.2.2, 1.3.0, and some unlabeled version along side the most current version I'm using (1.7.6), because it used to be that whenever I'd switch to a new version, I'd find something that used to work was now broken, or some important menu option was moved to a weird place that would take me ages to track down. The only reason why I haven't deleted the old versions is because I worry I might delete some BIOS or state files I lost track of. (The newest versions now have sane defaults that put save RAMs and state RAMs to their own folders, so that's no longer an issue moving forward.) So yeah, I totally hear you. No idea what clusterfuck development issues were going on before, but they seem to have finally got their shit together.

A lot of this info should be stickied somewhere. Like which games are interlaced, why scanlines in shaders are uneven, correct resolutions to use for shaders and so on. This thread alone helped me out more than google did.

I'm thinking it did.
You mentioned shimmering. When you pause your game, does it look different than when it is running? Because mine does that, whereas it doesn't happen with other PSX games. It's as if the screen is vibrating during play, but when I pause or take a screenshot, that vibration is gone.

The shimmering is how a real CRT displays interlaced content. It draws odd lines, then even lines, back and forth, and the persistence of vision makes it all blend together, but you get gross shimmering, which is better than combing artifacts. Also I just realized I've been writing 640i instead of 480i like a mongoloid the entire time.

>> No.6045595

>>6045593
Thanks! I'll live with it then, as the shader I'm using (royale xm29) helps mask it, and I have to say everything looks prettier with the vibration. This was especially evident in Vagrant Story's title screen, which also has this effect going on.

Just NES and SNES. It works for the low-res 256x224 mode on the genesis, but thanks to based firebrandx, we know that 75% of the library uses high-res 320x224 for primary gameplay, so I personally prefer to just x5 that on a 1080p screen and be done with it (1600x1120), no calculations needed.

I have an LG C8 oled and it is a near CRT/original hardware replacement with retroarch shaders/runahead. Perfect blacks, great colors, 4k shaders you can tweak to match any sort of CRT you fancy, and runahead brings inputlag down to native levels. Plus you dont have any of the geometry issues CRTs come with

The only thing it lacks is the motion clarity of CRTs. Maybe one day we'll have that too

set the color palette to the colors in the photo

draw scanlines at something like .3 width at a low resolution

then, apply a blur pushing downwards at an offset of maybe half a pixel. that will simulated the thickness of the original gameboy monitor.

what makes the filter in the OP work so well is the saturated colors that really simulate the shitty production quality of very early gameboy screens, or when a gameboy pocket's contrast slider would be pushed all the way up. the op filter is really reminiscent of what it was like trying to look at that thing while out and about in the world and that's actually sort of charming.

MAMEUI64 emulates X68000 games and has pausing/save states, at least it did on Akumajou Dracula which I specifically just tested on it.
But if you meant via libretro then I don't know as the MAME core there doesn't load the ROM at all.

How do they compare to QLED? I got a QLED last year and saw a huge improvement in just about everything, most noticeably the blacks. Motion is also smoother. Input lag was never an issue with game mode, so not really a difference there. Gonna wait until they drop under $1K. How would you describe QLED to OLED upgrade? 0.5x better? 2x better? 10xbetter? And why? Looking for knowledge and facts, thread was great for a while until the kiddies came along.

Because I find a more traditional window based, mouse driven interface faster and easier to navigate than one designed for controllers, particularly with the fairly questionable default binds on PC. You can greentext as many steps as you like, it doesn't change the fact that 'click a few things' is generally faster. Things are nested weirdly in a knockoff XMB instead of easily accessible from drop-downs or whathaveyou too, which again I'm not a fan of in a desktop environment. If I'm at my PC, I don't want to deal with a distinctly console-first interface.
And I'm not saying it's objective, either. It's a personal preference thing. Just like how my preference on other platforms is to use Retroarch. I really like the experience on my Vita, where it feels much less annoying since everything fiddly is going to be clunkier without a mouse and keyboard anyway.

Or you can try and actually play a game with "game mode" settings and decide for yourself. Input lag is a thing of the past in most cases. Even my shit TCL has no practical input lag. I usually test with a mouse on a pc. That's the most accurate way to test in my opinion.

That's a funny way of saying "there is no reason if it feels lag free". I haven't used a crt in over 15 years, no reason to compare if it feels lag free and doesn't affect me having fun. Also, if you notice any lag, your specific tv model is the issue. Most, if not all, new tvs have no practical input lag in game mode settings.

What I find most puzzling is that you're repeatedly butting in on a topic you're wildly uneducated on. Lag from your display is one factor. Lag from the emulator and specific game in question is another. Lag from your controller setup is yet another.

You sound like a 10-year-old trying to sound smart. There's nothing to be educated about. Just saying if there is no noticeable lag, that's all that matters, simple as that.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction guys. But as of this writing I have spent over 20 minutes just trying to get an NES controller to work. I was under the impression that controllers mapped automatically but it's only mapping a few buttons and I don't where to go in the myriad of menus and submenus just to map a single gamepad. I just want to play an NES game and I'm already wishing I'd have just downloaded Nestopia.

Plug in your controller, set the controller index to match your plugged controller, and modify the mappings to match it. What are you finding difficult?

Everything. Nothing is normal about any of this. I know the RetroUSB adapter I'm using works, and RA confirms as much by saying it's configured when I plugin it in. But only select, start, and the B button work and I've tried more than one controller so I know it's not the gamepad. And the controller map screen is the most needlessly confusing I've ever seen. A standalone emu would ask you to physically press buttons on your actual gamepad to map things out, but maybe that would be too simple for RetroArch.

>> No.6060227

>>6060180
How the device detection works is that it relies on autoconfigs that will, with a normal controller, recognize the device ID and map it accordingly. If everything is working, you'll never have to touch mappings, it will be done for you.

But if the adapter doesn't have a proper autoconfig, like if you have a different revision than what is in the database, everything goes wrong, and this is probable with cheap low-end adapters like retroUSB's shit. Go to the config tab, go to Drivers, Input, select raw, and then restart retroarch. It might work. On retroUSB's page for the adapter, it doesn't specify if it's converting to dinput or xinput or what, which is always a bad sign, so try messing around with that.

I was in the quick settings menu, not the main menu. I figured that whatever I set in the main menu would apply for everything, so I was trying to set the controls on the game-specific menu instead. But in either case there are about hundred too many options for just binding an NES controller and it's not exactly clear which ones are for NES controllers specifically. "Bind all" in the main input menu simplifies things, but the problem seems to be with my controller or adapter anyway.

None are. Bind in the main menu, then use the quick settings menu to rebind for a specific core. (The Quick Settings "Controls" are core specific, not console specific.) Worry about the global binds first so you get sensible defaults when using a new core, then remap for specific cores to make up for sillyness. (ex: On an NES controller, the B button is to the left of the A button. This makes it easy to press B while holding A for various platformers like Mega Man. But if you're using an SNES-type layout, B will be below A, totally screwing this up. That's when you use the Quick Settings "Controls" to remap the global binds for an NES emulator.)
