It is $200. The shield is much more powerful than any phone in that price range and comes with a controller. It is meant for emulation, and not for getting calls while your trying to play a game (That would have to get pretty annoying I'd imagine)

You do realize that both systems mentioned in your post had RGB native outputs and had SCART cables sold in their respective countries at the time, right?

Also, Kirby's Dreamland 3 uses real transparency with the SNES' rare interlaced high resolution modes, not pseudo-transparency by use of dithering like the Genesis does (And whether its "composite transparency" was intentional or not has still never been proven. Dithering was commonplace everywhere, even on PC games and arcade monitors that used high quality video connections allowing you to see each individual pixel. Besides that, Genesis composite output is god-awful and this was well known even in the early 90, to the point where EGM actually had an article showing you how to connect your Genesis to a Commodore monitor so you could actually read text for once.

You're just shitting out buzzwords you picked up on emugen without understanding what any of it means. 2 - your "image quality" argument is subjective and irrelevant to the issue. 3 - you're a fucking moron if you think that an LCD monitor will ever fully simulate a real CRT. Will it simulate one good enough for plebs like you who don't know any better? Sure.

Emulation is better than the real thing when it works. Which also applies to emulating old CRTs on technologically superior modern displays.

You're obviously mad and have no idea what you're talking about. Everyone already knows that 4K is needed for shadow masks to be properly emulated due to the pixels needed to recreate the phosphor mask pattern. Aperture grille can be emulated with less thanks to its more straightforward pattern. CRTs have been simulated good enough already for people who don't suffer from terminal autism.

Hey guys, I found my old PSP phat and remember seeing here that they weren't half bad at emulation.

I read the FAQ, and it's Wiki page, but I'm still confused.

From what I understand, you need to install custom firmware in order for emulators to work.

My problem is, after some research, it seems like there are a lot of different ones, all for the version 6.60.

I'm afraid of bricking my system and I was hoping for someone who has does it successfully before to point me in the right direction. A link to a guide that works would be great. Ultimately I'd like to play NES, SNES, and GBA games.

You either want LME or PRO-C. PRO-C has some netplay support and iirc LME has a slightly wider range of plugin support, but the differences are largely unnoticeable.

Also forgot to say the difference between the permanent and temporary mods is one is the permanent one is always active and the temporary one requires you to run a program that restarts your PSP in the cfw (custom firmware) mode, which takes a whole 30 seconds, after each time you shut down your PSP.

Hey guys, the PSP Anon here.

Just wondering, after I run the pro update to install CFW, if I run CIPL Flasher, will the update be permanent? I read that on certain systems it bricks the PSP.

Never do anything that could affect your internal PSP settings, always run everything on and from the memory stick. (Btw, you can buy an adaptor to use SD cards instead of Sony's fuckken expensive memory sticks. $15 will be enough for the adaptor and a 16 GB SD card. Install it, go to your PSP settings menu and use the "format memory stick" option so the console could adapt the card to it's needs and you could start stuffing it with roms and emulators.)

It helps turn off services and exit programs (among other things) which can help a ton. This works especially well if you know what different processes and services are.

Another few things are changing your theme to Windows Classic mode, turning the priority of the program to high priority (this can have various negative effects, none of which are permanent though.), and lowering the screen size/resolution of the game.

How are you enjoying your lack of a true black and your low refresh rate? If you really think the only benefit of a fucking CRT is some fucking lines you are a retard. Also those shaders do NOT accurately emulate a real CRT, and neither is that even their fucking goals. Especially not if they are widescreen, unless of course your game actually supported a CRT widescreen monitor (see Quake III). You think that 2.5d screen bulge actually looks nice? Have you ever even seen a real CRT? Also this board is pretty much proof that hardware does not become obsolete. CRTs are still being made today by many companies, of high quality to boot, and they have many more uses than just simple scanlines. Go kill yourself.

How do I enable error log output in Retroarch? I recall one Retroarch build where this was an option buried away somewhere

This doesn't make sense to me:
"An easy way to get RetroArch to output logs to file for easy copy/pasting:

retroarch --menu --verbose >> log.txt 2>&1

It will load up to RGUI as if you just double clicked the executable, but it will redirect standard output and standard error to a text file called log.txt in your RetroArch folder. The command above will append to the log and not overwrite existing information, if you want it to overwrite, change ">>" into ">". This can be put into a .bat file to easily run it when desired. "

I still have the CRT that I used as a kid to play NES. It has pretty obvious scanlines.

whats the best NES and SNES emulator these days?

NES, it's been a looong time since i've played NES roms, so the last emulator i used was Nesticle by the bloodlust software guys.. What's the best NES emulator these days?

SNES though, i'm much more up to date and have been using snes9x. my pc isn't powerful enough to use higan (i think its called?). is snes9x good enough?

[Anonymous No.2160979]

SNES9x is still the best one out there outside Higan. Runs on nearly everything still too.

As for NES, I'd use either Nestopia or FCEUX.

Hey guys, so I downloaded the game and gave it a shot. Only on the first level but it plays fairly well.

You control the character by swiping left or right to look left/right, then swipe up to make them move forward. You can set them to keep running auto or hold your finger on the screen to keep going. Works okay.

Apart from that everything is just touching the interface on the screen. Touching portraits to control the character, touching enemies to target, and touching your 'combat menu' to choose attacks.

Unlocking doors etc is the same, when move close enough the reticule comes up and you touch it to interact.

It basically requires creating entirely separate RetroArch config files for each game. Basically, open a game, set the buttons how you want, save the config, then outside RetroArch, rename it something like mario64.cfg, starfox64.cfg, etc. Rinse and repeat for any game you want different input configs for. Maybe keep one as just mupen64.cfg as a generic DS3-esque binding.

tl;dr -- Can anybody recommend Android emulators for NES and Sega SMS/MD/Genesis that don't use RetroArch?

long version: I'm using a fairly outdated Android device (Nook Color running CM7 boot) to emulate /vr/ games. I have a non-RetroArch SNES emulator that runs brilliantly*. I have used it to complete FF4, 5, & 6; Zelda 3; Arcana; and Lufia 1. Audio/video sync is good; slow-down is rare.

I later learned about RetroArch and installed it to play Crystalis and other non-NES titles. Given that SNES emulation is smooth on my device, I would expect NES emulation to also be smooth.

I find RetroArch's UI to be a pain to navigate. Resume Content doesn't work, so I always have to navigate to the game folder & then select a core. It doesn't tell me the date/time of save states. It doesn't remember my on-screen gamepad overlay orientation settings and defaults to landscape, even though I always use the device in portrait, so I always have to change that (pic related: my preferred orientation). (RetroArch also sometimes reverts the overlay orientation back to landscape in-game). Most importantly, NES emulation is plagued with slowdown and audio crackling. All three native cores run NES slower than my SNES emulator! Can you recommend anything else for NES? A LOT of customization with control pad layout is a must, since I need it to look like pic related (works very well on a 3.43" x 6.10" screen).

Sega Master System/ MD/ Genesis emulation is also quite poor on RetroArch on my device; what other emulator would you recommend?

*The only problems with my previous SNES emulator were that it screws up forest tree shadows in FFV (a minor aesthetic inconvenience at most); and it basically won't play Laplace No Ma or Terranigma. I then downloaded SNES 9x to play Terranigma, and it seems to run fine. (Laplace No Ma still fails on SNES 9x).

[Anonymous No.2170132]

There is not a single SNES emulator out there that has no input lag.

It's not my monitor, it's not my controller (I play with keyboard using WASD and J,K,L,etc so no chance of ghosting nor lag.

It's not my system.

My proof is that I can get no input lag on many games in MAME, and using emulators like Kega and Ootake. No input lag at all on my system.

For instance, to test, I will pause the game (emulator's pause function, not the game's pause function) then I will hold "back" (to make my character turn around) and press the key to increment 1 frame once. Then when I press the increment key one more time, the character will start moving. In Kega and Fusion my input is registered the VERY next frame. That is perfect input, and I can do it on my system with certain emulators and certain MAME games, so the fault is not with my system, controls, configuration, etc. Beside I'm not a computer/emu newb. Heck, I bet most of you here have never even tested for input lag - give it a try on your fave emulators (that have a pause and increment frame function), and you will be surprised.

Anyway, I've tested everything for SNES. There is not a single SNES emulator that is capable of this.

For instance, snes9x has about 3 frames of lag.

[Anonymous No.2170156]

>>2169789
The SNES9xEX/.Emu emulators come off as more or less the same cores, but they have frameskip added for slower devices and are less of a pain to work with as a whole thanks to a better UI. They also cost quite a lot for emus though.

So, it's not an emulation shader or a recreation of any game, just some sprites from existing games being used as placeholders during development of the rendering system.

>>2175568
It's not supposed to be an exact copy of the Gameboy's display, it's just loosely based on it. I went for full transparency because it significantly boosted the contrast and added a nice effect, especially during motion. Still working on the project in my free time, I plan on revisiting the shader eventually. I think the palette still needs a lot of work, and maybe some subtle noise in the "pixels" so the grid doesn't look so repetitive. Blending could also be smoother, though I was trying to keep the shader fairly simple for performance.

Should I emulate Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask or should I try and get the Gamecube ports?

Which do you guys prefer/think is better?

[Anonymous No.2179252]

>>2179237
For Ocarina of Time, emulating it is potentially superior, as the GC and even the Wii VC releases have some minor inaccuracies, and only display in 480p max, whereas you can go higher with emulation, and have lots of options for enhancements like hi-res textures, widescreen hacks, etc. However, you may have to go through some hassle to get it set up (getting the right emulator or plugins, messing with some settings, etc.), whereas the GC port just werks.

As for MM, avoid the GC port at all costs. It is buggy as shit and has a chance of randomly locking up. The VC version is far better in that respect. All the stuff I just said about emulating OoT mostly applies to MM as well, although here I do believe there are a couple of unemulated effects (something to do with the Lens of Truth, although it's fairly minor).

[Anonymous No.2180381]

Indeed you are mostly correct, although the GC version did have some changes, such as changing the color of some buttons in the UI as well as a few changes in the script to account for the lack of some N64 peripherals such as the Rumble Pack. The VC version in turn was a more straightforward emulation job with no such changes. And even so, the VC version of Majora's Mask does not have any of issues that the version from the Collector's Edition suffers from.

They simply used a patched ROM, similar to what they did with Zelda OoT Master Quest ROM.

It was figured long time ago that even VC used patched ROMs for some games.

>>2184184
no one has put in the work for decent N64 emulation since we have "working" ones, and all the major emulators were designed to run well on hilariously low-spec machines, making severe accuracy tradeoffs in the process (pretty much just enough to run popular games is implemented)

This is a screenshot from Phoenix, a 3DO emulator but it`s in Russian.
Any fellow rusbro knows if this can be set to English?

[Anonymous No.2194446]

I downloaded it to check and I even did some google searching but there doesn't seem to be an English version (yet).
Are you having compatibility issues with 4DO ?

[Anonymous No.2194472]

>>2194446
Thanks for looking into it. Funny thing is, there is a screenshot on emucr of the emu in english.

4DO 1.3.2.0 works fine as far as I can tell, latest version doesn`t load images (iso but not bin/cue loading works in RetroArch, but has other features like scaling from the standalone version disabled).

Phoenix seems to have more features, that`s why I am curious.

I guess that means it'll be translated.
You could of course use google translate (and the on screen keyboard) to figure out the basic settings. I'm sure you'll get the gist of everything even if it's poorly translated.

Someone on VG /emugen/ made a mini translation (picture with everything translated), you could ask there.

I got it to work with the help of the icons and trial&error. I thought the file browser could open videos directly, but apparently it can only export the files. Other than that, it doesn`t seem to have more features than 4DO. Can`t tell if the compatibilty is higher, because I haven`t had a problematic game with 4DO.

Uh what is the best Sega Saturn emulator?
I tried both Yabause and SSF.
But Yabause runs slow at 40 fps and SSF doesn't even start.

This is annoying since the Dreamcast emulator works fine at like 100%

[Anonymous No.2194915]

>>2194817
SSF is still the best. It probably didn't start because you haven't mounted the disk which is required. Don't ask why. It's a Japanese emulator.

[Anonymous No.2195431]

>>2194817
Do you have a CD drive?
if not, do you have a disc image mounted in a virtual drive (eg, Daemon Tools)?
SSF won't even attempt to start if it doesn't detect a disc drive.

SSF is the only good Saturn emulator, Yabause and all the others are both slow as hell and inaccurate as hell. If your PC is remotely recent (should be fine if you can emulate DC), turn the compatibility settings up (last page of settings IIRC), some games like Guardian Heroes have issues if you don't.

the first thing you should do when you get SSF working is to go play Bulk Slash

ZSNES screws up a bunch. Not just on obscure games that do obscure shit either, it has issues with popular titles. It's completely eclipsed by SNES9x (for when you have a toaster) and higan/bsnes (which is very, very accurate)

>>2191756
this
last computer I had that couldn't run bsnes was a 500MHz G3 iBook from 2001 (used SNES9x instead -- IIRC, I couldn't even try to run bsnes since it only supported G4 CPUs and up, and actually wanted a G5 for fully playable speed)

>>2191830
>>2191880
How? It has an actual quantifiable meaning: how close is the emulation to the real hardware? If I'm getting weird graphics glitches and the game is running at the wrong speed and the sound is wrong, the emulator isn't very accurate at all.

What is the best N64 controller that works on PC. Should I get the Real n64 converter? or buy a usb one?

Also is Project64 the best Emulator for N64? A lot of the games have graphical problems and some refuse to work like rogue squadron. is there a 100% accurate emulator out there?

[Anonymous No.2199246]

I've got Virtual Jaguar running, with the controller mapped to my keyboard, but none of the buttons are regularly responding, apart from "0" (mapped to my "0" key) which evidently mutes the sound. Any idea what's going on?

N64 emulation is always a bit spotty, as the system was somewhat difficult to program for.

you will figure out eventually that these are the actual names of the files, and changing one name can break it because there are parent files, hddroms, among other things which prevent you from renaming files. no matter where you download the files from you will be dissappointed. though MAME gives the true name in it's game list.

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but I'll try this one more time since it keeps getting buried.

I'm trying to play Rayman on the Virtual Jaguar, but most of the keys aren't working. "O" which isn't mapped at all, skips the titles, bringing me to the initial-entry screen. At this point, the only responsive keys are "S" (mapped to the B button) which switches letters, and "0" (which is mapped to the 0 button) which toggles the music. I can't select my initials or progress, so I'm essentially stuck here.

Any idea what's going on?

[Anonymous No.2201351]

>>2201265
Okay, so it seems that regardless of my keyboard configuration, the emulator has stubbornly decided to disregard it and stick with its own. Random button mashing helped me figure it out. What an odd little console this was.
