What's the best way to emulate (NES/SNES/GBA/N64) to my TV, outside of using a PC.
Pitendo? Ouya? Wii?
>Ouya
ah right, that exists
Raspberry Pi maybe? I don't have one, though.
>emulate
>>335040159
I mean it's essentially an android in a box with a controller.
I figure you can use all the emulators you could get on your phone on it.
>>335040231
very good points anon. definitely get the ouya.
>>335040161
That's what I use, cheap and easy enough to setup
If you have an android you can hook it up to your TV and play on your TV. Obviously get a PS3 controller and play using that Bluetooth connection. Google it. It's possible. Not sure if a PS4 controller will work.
>>335040353
Im not really making any point
I dont know what the best option is
thats why Im asking
>>335040054
Works great on a soft modded wii. Controllers are great for them too. You can use full emulators or just install the wad files. N64 emulation is garbage but there's a couple dozen wads for those too on Wii
>>335040450
What's a good android device? Should I just get a high end phone? Seems weird to just have it sit by my TV and use it as a console, but if it works it works
And can you control the menus with a controller? I kind of want a console setup, so I can just do everything from the couch with my controller
>>335040665
Ouya would be your best option, no joke
>>335040665
Wii bro! Feels good
>>335040623
Yeah, I have a wii now actually. The only gripes are n64 emu like you said, and the fact I have to use a GCn controller which has a dpad that isnt the most comfortable to use. There is a hori SNESpad for the GC but I cant justify spending $100+ on it
>>335040665
I use a PS3 Controller on my samsung tablet for games, and yes I can control the menus and everything, so I'd assume you'll be able to on a phone as well.
>>335040231
Hardware is shot. There is atleast 2 second delay with Bluetooth controllers
>>335040054
raspberry pi?
Also what is everyone using as controllers for their emulation. My standard is a ds4, but pic related arrived today and it´s really better for anything pre 5th gen
>>335041159
360 pad
Wii -> CRT
Its had a retroarch port for fucking years now.
>>335041159
I use a USB snes controller for anything that's before the N64, otherwise I'll use my 360 controller.
>>335041337
Interesting. I despise it´s dpad, so I would never use it for 2D games, but if it works for you that´s good I guess.
>>335040161
>>335041159
rasp 2 can handle nearly every console upto the ps1. N64 can get very tricky to get a good performance out of it.
rasp 3 no ciue
recalbox is the easiest OS for that and the DS3, DS4 and usb Snes-pad should work without any hassle
>>335040776
As I mentioned though, wad files, Nintendo's official emulation has about two dozen n64 games that support your controllers. You already have a wii which is great. It'll cost you nothing but a bit of time
>>335041586
Yeah, the raspberry pi is great and I´ve used it before to emulate (now it´s only used as a download server) but if you want to emulate up to Wii there´s not really any way arround using a pc
>>335040054
>outside of pc
Why?
>>335041586
From what I understand, the Pi 3 can handle most PS1 games fine but it struggles with a handful of N64 games. It can run games like Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time just fine but try something heavier like Banjo Tooie or Goldeneye and you'll have problems.
>>335040054
Pi.
>>335041817
and it just takes 2 amps to power it, so for 16bit or less I would go for it
>>335041980
I only tested Crash 1 and In The Hunt, but they ran great
>>335040776
the controller I posted here >>335041159 should work on the Wii, at least they state it does in their manual (I bought it for my pc)
It was 40€ don´t know how much it is in $
PC. Anything less isn't worth the cost unless you already have a Pi / old phone with HDMI sitting around.
Wii U
Whats a good way to emulate ps1 games on a crt?
>>335042768
>CRT
literally meme hardware. why would you do this to yourself?
>Ouya
>Pi
You people need to get with the times. First off OP, if you're looking for an Android box, you have no fucking reason to buy an old, outdated, locked-down fucking Ouya. There are literally quadrillions of Android chink boxes, included popular non-chink choices like the Nexus player and the Amazon Fire TV. If you're looking for the best and most powerful one, that would by far be the Nvidia Shield TV. This thing supposedly has more GPU power than the PS3/Xbox 360. It can emulate Dreamcast, PSP, and NDS with graphical enhancements no problem. Anything below should be no problem. It even tries at Dolphin.
>Other than PC
But why famalam.
>>335040054
Digital Cyber Cherries
>>335042905
>hurr durr I'm a retard
Is the joke on us and you are just pretending, or did escape your wranglers again?
>>335040054
Nvidia Shield TV. The thing can run GameCube games perfectly, for fuck's sake. Everything you listed should run without a hitch.
It's also one hell of a media box, if that makes any difference.
>>335042927
> locked down ouya
>>335041159
Buffalo Classic controller for 2D and 360 pad for 3D.
>>335043124
Compared to other Android boxes, it is relatively locked down.
>>335043124
The Shield TV blows the Ouya to smetherines.
>>335042197
>40€
Damn, ~$45 for a controller? I was thinking of asking you where to buy one because the cheap USB controller I use for my raspberry 2 doesn't feel quite right and seems to have some input issues but I don't want to throw down that much money.
Unless of course it does matter and the cheap generic brands are actually worse.
>>335043118
why would you ever willingly suffer through using a 4:3 blurry box? if you're emulating, part of the point is turning settings up, not down.
your shitpost didnt answer any questions
>>335042927
>NDS
How on earth would you emulate NDS on that?
>>335043120
>The thing can run GameCube games perfectly, for fuck's sake
I own one of these things and this is just a downright lie. C'mon anon. It's impressive for Android but it's still basically non-viable. What games are playable? Like 3? And also to get the games playable you've basically got to turn on a bunch of settings that lower emulation accuracy.
It's "In-development". But don't lie. It's nowhere near PC. However Dreamcast, PSP, and NDS emulation is excellent.
>>335043372
You're asking how can it emulate a Nintendo DS?
>>335043586
I think he's asking how you'd handle the touch screen with that.
>>335043306
Because those games were designed specifically for a 4:3 blurry box
>>335040231
>>335040501
the Ouya is redundant now that Android TV exists.
>>335043306
>blurry
It's only blurry because you're using shitty ass composite cables. If you have a proper setup for RGB it looks fucking fantastic.
>>335043193
I guess? It's crazy I know but I have one with every emulator up to psone. Runs them great desu. Never paid for a thing and everything is side loaded. Never got anything from their ecosystem. Ouya has to be the cheapest thing going and it works great for just emulation. Can't go wrong unless you want to play things that are GC and beyond. Op is looking for options and not necessarily the most current or expensive. People lamenting the ouya generally have never been near one. They tend to regurgitate opinions from other threads unfortunately
>inb4 he actually owns a ouya and defends it
>>335043289
Get a Buffalo Classic, it's $10 from amazon. It's a clone of the snes controller. I have one and it feels nice to play with.
>>335043768
No point if you're emulating.
CRT makes sense only if you're running actual hardware.
>>335043586
Wouldn't the lack of a touchscreen make most games unplayable? I think DS games are best emulated on tablets, in portrait mode.

>>335043943
>turbo
Fucking disgusting.
>>335043768
you're still missing the EMULATION part. 4:3 looks like shit, almost everything supports wide screen patches. there is literally no reason to use a crt unless you're an autist. and you're still getting worse results.
>>335043913
I suppose you have a point, but there are still tons of similarly priced chinkboxes with similar specs out there that don't get the stigma attached "HE OWNS AN OUYA xD" to them. But this is /v/, not /g/. These people don't even know what an Android box is.
>>335044094
>almost everything supports wide screen patches
And those patches are usually glitchy as fuck.
>>335043990
Oh, was just thinking about games you play with the physical controls like Mario and the like.
>>335044094
yeah this sure looks great
>>335044135
Yeah there's definitely a stigma to it. This is I think the second time I've ever even mentioned that I own one. It's been a good little box
>>335044094
>>335044094
>i don't like thing so they're autistic
you sound like a fucking child anon
Android is a shit OS, especially the Android TV variant.
I'm interested myself. What's the price range I should be looking into?
Im not looking into getting a pc, just want something i can keep hooked up to my tv. Play just about everything up until psp.
>>335040161
I use a Pi2 with the GameCube adapter for sm4sh. Works pretty well up to PS1 games.
>>335041159
>tfw no SLS Sega Genesis USB pad
Exhibit some patience and handywork and run an HDMI cable from your computer to your TV. It's not that hard my faggot.
>>335040054
Do you not have a laptop? HDMI to connect to the TV and USB adapters to get the original controllers working for your emulators. Even a toaster can run N64 with ease.
If you really don't want to use a PC, I'd say Wii is your second best bet. Homebrew Channel lets you use a bunch of emulators and you'd just need to get a Classic Controller/CC Pro if you don't already have one lying around
>>335044070
Don't push it then
>>335044878
>frogposter
opinion discarded
>>335044962
I think a lot of you are getting the impression that Android is some ultra amazing convenient OS that's great for emulation on your TV whereas Windows is hard to setup and shit. This just isn't the case. Android TV can actually be really fucking shitty because Android on a whole is designed for phones and tablets, and as a result half the fucking apps don't work with your controller and setting shit up with your controller also takes a long time. Android is real fucking clunky. It's not plug-in and play.
>>335044094
I don't know what's edgier; your attitude or the pixels on your horribly upscaled games.
>>335045727
>>335042927
I bought a shield mostly to be an HTPC since it was the first cheap box capable of software decoding 1080p hi10p anime.
My only issue as far as emulators go is that bsnes has input lag. I mean, bsnes has always had higher input lag than alternatives, but on my PC I can drop it to acceptable levels by using gpu sync settings in retroarch. That option doesn't seem to do anything on the shield, so maybe it's the controller. I need to sit down and test it more.
>>335045727
>muh everything must be blurry
>muh dead aspect ratio
>b-but im going to emulate anyways
*tips*
>>335046214
Wow didnt know xenoblade chronicles was on ps1
>>335046214
>even the monthly dolphin report is making fun of shader compilation stuttering
They're never going to fix it, are they?
>>335040054
Get a Raspberry Pi 3 and load up Emulation Station: http://emulationstation.org/index.html#home
It has it's limits, but it grants you tons of customization without being 2techy4u. Build that shit into a small flat screen, hook up a custom battery and you have an objectively better WiiU. If you can build your own PC, you can do this.
>>335040054
Wii, trough the homebrew emulators (N64 sucks ass though and only runs Mario64 and mario akrt 64 properly).
>>335041159
>flat buttons
into the trash it goes
>>335046123
Hello Hi10p anon. Tbh I just use Snes9x because I hate the Retroarch "Interface". Bsnes on Android is just performance version anyway (Because Bsnes Accuracy is a beast) which isn't that much ahead of Snes9x in terms of accuracy.
>>335041159
I use this, Hori Fighting Commander 4. The dpad is fucking butter plus you can rotate it for max comfort. As a bonus it works on both PS3 and PS4, I think they make an Xbox pad though
>>335045059
This is pretty close, plus it's cheaper. They have a model with symmetrical sides too if you want that authentic Sega feel.
Raspberry Pi is actually better than Android imo if you just want to play 2d retro games. This is because of the super-simple RetroPi interface that is easy to set up and gets the job done.
>>335044962
Then you are better off getting a windows 10 tablet that has an HDMI or Mini-HDMI output. Some of those lower end win10 tablets can be pretty gutsy, and you only need one usb port for a controller.
You will be doing wired, because most wireless controllers have a case of the suck.
>>335040054
Wii + Homebrew Channel + Classic Controller. Has been my emulation setup for a while and it works well.
>>335046949
what emulators do you use for your wii?
>>335045727
>>335046706
Retroarch on android has had the full suite of bsnes versions for a while, and the shield can run accuracy at full speed. All versions have the same input lag to me though.
>>335040054
Why not just plug in your old systems and play? Oh wait, you're 8 and never had them.
>>335046804
>for people with a tiny right hand
what the fuck were they thinking?
>>335048085
I've got decently sized hands and I've never had a problem with slippage. I guess the concept is that you make more intense movements with the dpad than you do pressing buttons; for fighters, that is. It feels like a Genesis pad on the right side, but with a slight wedge into the palm.
Well they are all PCs at the end of the day
change up the interface. use a PC with hyperspin.
Set up all the emulators and rom folder. a nice 120gb SSD (For OS) and a 4tb HDD for rom storage should get you whole collections for everything N64/PS1/Saturn and below as well as every significant title and then some for GC/WII/PS2.
you can find entire sets that have the accompanying audio/video to go with each rom.
>>335040501 Ouya is never the answer.
There was a very brief window when it was holding TowerFall hostage.
And the answer wasn't "get the Ouya for TowerFall", it was "don't play TowerFall".
Don't get an Ouya. Period.
>>335047378
Oh, last I checked there was only Performance BSnes. Pretty surprised it can run Accuracy though, or maybe its spec req was just exaggerated by Byuu.
>>335048906
>Hyperspin
What other frontends would you recommend? Hyperspin looks good if you're building an Arcade/Mame cabinet or something but the interface just doesn't make sense for home console games, to me at least.
