It's true, though. Nostalgia is what makes OoT good. You played it as a kid and loved it, now can't shut the hell up about it.
Try playing it as an adult, when things don't mystify you so much.
>>124722442
I've played all other 3D Zelda games as an adult and still think OOT is the best (not the best game of all time though).

One of the laggiest game i had were godhand, raidou 1 whith its dozens of fucking people in a single screen. But once i gotten a 8350 from a 6300, it all so fucking smooth now. I didnt think that an a 280x would do that since i bought the 8350 for newer games.
>>124722442
I never played OOT as a kid. First picked it up when I was 15 and I still enjoyed it quite a bit. The game had a slower pace and was confusing at times, but still an excellent game. Maybe not the best game ever, but highly memorable and well-designed.

I never got what the problem was with keyboards. I mean, yeah, a controller is always better for these games. But if you are poor, prefer kb+m, or whatever reason, they're still playable and even enjoyable on keyboard, especially with a numpad. I think the problem is that people use the default mappings, which are usually absolute shit and make no sense.
This is how it should be mapped:
>WASD = Left Stick / Main D-Pad
>Q = Left analog modifier
Whoever uses arrow keys for these is a nigger
>Left Shift = L / L1
>Spacebar = Z / R1
>CTRL = L2
>E = L3
>TAB = Select
>ENTER = Start
>Arrow Keys = Right Stick / N64 D-Pad
>TRFG = DualStick D-Pad
For the Numpad
>+ = R / R2
>0 = R3
>7 = A(ccept)
>8 = B(ack)
>9 = C-Down / GC X / PS Square equivalent
>/ = C-Left / GC Y / PS Triangle equivalent
>* = C-Up
>- = C-Right

Perfect emulation: NES, SNES, SMS, Genesis, GB/GBC

PS2 in bad
I don't think Saturn/Dreamcast are quite as bad as N64, but I don't have too much experience with them.
PS3, PS4, 360, 3DS, and WiiU emus are all being worked on. OG XBOX is still never ever though.
There's seemingly no reason to downsample from 4k for CRT shaders. The image quality is degraded on a 1080p monitor, and the positive effects are only visible in screenshots. Integer scaling also gets all sorts of fucked up. I played for the longest time using downsampling for shaders, deluding myself into thinking the image quality had improved.

the New 3DSiXL is planned to have a real n64 in there, but overclocked to around 8x the speed. That should emulate perfectly by around 2011.
Is it generally preferred to burn your games to your hard drive instead of actually using the disc? There's one PS2 game I'd like to play but I no longer have a PS2.

>>124768939

>>124756857
It's probably someone's personal fork with code the original author isn't satisfied with and now because all libretro forks are dedicated forks, of course this has to be too.
It would make more sense to have a configuration path that would build a libretro core from upstream and to contribute that...

>>124796690
Simple, some games runs in progressive mode instead of interlaced which reduce the bluriness considerably which makes native tolerable and upscaled it way better.
Some games have it but there's no list I could find and the games that have it don't match the ones that supported it on the real console.

i'm emulating persona 4 on PCSX2, and i'm getting weird fucking random skips. like the game runs at full speed, and without the frame limiter, at 130fps or so, without speedhacks. but it just suddenly skips and the FPS drops. it's not triggered by anything, i can leave the game with framelimiter off on a bit of dialogue, the characters just standing there in their idle animations, and i'll hear the music grind to a halt for about a second.
i can't find a single setting to fuck with that even affects this. HW hacks on and off, all the graphics settings on and off, tried changing to software, DX9 and 11... nothing. any ideas?

Inherently, I agree, there is nothing wrong with the concept of modulating things.
But to say there's nothing wrong with plugins in the case of PS1 specifically as it is, is just wrong.
It's quite a fragmented mess.
The spec's requirement to use the registry for settings on Windows is asinine, half the shit is closed source, all of it is designed around older systems.
>>124799124

>>124818714
I don't "need" to do anything. It looks perfectly fine 2ft+ away from the monitor/TV, and the dots aren't visible. Nice and sharp, yet non-pixelated and filtered backgrounds. I usually play at 4k, but the screenshots are anywhere from 8 to 20mb in size with this shader preset. I'm not using external sources to shitpost.

>>124830378
Well meme'd.
>>124830378
I fixed it.
Not sure how I should handle the dithering pattern when I increase the resolution. Should I increase the size of the pattern as well?
Normally it wouldn't really matter, after all I can just increase the color depth and get rid of the dithering altogether but on the PSX the dithering noise helps making the simple graphics look less plain.
>>124832278
No, that looks good. I recall gpuBladeSoft could increase internal res while keeping dithering, but the dithering would stay the exact same regardless of internal res, which IMO looked odd on anything higher than native. I like how the dithering patterns get smaller when you increase res.
>>124832497
I think I agree. Pic related is scaling the pattern with the internal res. It becomes a bit too obvious (not that it was very subtle to begin with).
>>124832807
Worst comes to worst, you could make it an option. Maybe some people might prefer the obvious dithering? The options might look as such:
- 32-bit color depth (no dithering)
- 16-bit color depth (with unscaled dithering)
- 16 bit color depth (with scaled dithering)
Or maybe just have a toggle between 32-bit and 16-bit depth, with the option between scaled and unscaled dithering not doing anything if 32-bit color is enabled. This might be better if we're assuming it's run through RetroArch's core options.
Yeah I think I prefer most PSX graphics dithered. There are too many untextured polys that look too "smooth" without it and they stand out.
The untextured enemies in this scene are a good exemple.
>>124833365
Hell, I'd argue even textured polygons look better with dithering.
Speaking of which, will you have options for texture filtering? Not that I'd use it since it looks bad most of the time to me.
>>124833271
> Maybe some people might prefer the obvious dithering?
But most of those people would likely use the native res, although having more option is always better for the user unless it's not a problem for the dev having the pattern scale with your internal res might be better.
>>124833271
It's pretty easy to support all the modes, I just need to pass the upscaling ratio in an uniform to my fragment shader if I want to upscale the pattern. Not a big deal.
>>124833579
I can't say I'm a big fan of texture dithering but why not. I'm just not sure how this type of "plugin" is generally handled in OpenGL world since it would have to be done in the fragment shader and mine is completely monolithic at the moment.
>>124833916
s/texture dithering/texture filtering/
>>124833916
The PEOpS OpenGL plugin is fixed function and still handles texture filtering.
>>124834140
Its architecture is vastly different from mine, it uses a texture cache and I don't. I handle everything in the fragment shader, for better or worse.

Are those 8bitdo NES and SNES controllers any good?
>>124846062
fucking zealot. there is nothing wrong with toolbars.
>>124847505
PJ64 has only been better in the past year since development started again. For a long time, it was shit and unstable aside from the ancient 1.6 release, it was closed source and the 1.7 beta was closed to the public. Mupen64plus was the only relevant N64 emulator still in development during this time, and until this refactor for PJ64 to have its core seperated from the frontend code to allow crossplatform compilation happens, Mupen64plus will remain the only relevant N64 emulator on non-Windows platforms.
>>124841587
I wouldn't say so. Some of the things they did, like porting Glide64 to OpenGL and the 3-point texture filter code, are commendable, and even caught the attention of a couple of N64 emudevs. Not to mention it was the first serious foray into Libretro GL, which is what laid the groundwork for future GL-enabled cores like PPSSPP and soon Reicast and Dolphin.
Once a portable Project64 core happens, you can be sure Project64-libretro will be soon to follow, and SP should be able to reuse much of the work he already invested into frankenmupen.
>>124849040
The Glide2GL and 3-point filtering would apply to PJ64 easily since Glide64 is a plugin that could simply be dropped in. It would probably be statically linked in the binary like it is now with M64p, since it's generally not wanted for libretro cores to need external dependencies and dynamic libraries loaded to work.

You seem to place too much judgement on default settings. 2.1 was clearly better than 1.6 after changing the settings. M64p is trash compared to Project64 and 1964.
>Mupen64plus will remain the only relevant N64 emulator on non-Windows platforms.

>decent gui

>>124859723
They wasted their time dealing with Mupen64Plus. Inferior plugin spec, worse performance, worse game compatibility, etc. If they are to switch to PJ64, they have to port their code over. Also their angrylion fork was a waste too, since it's bugged and not even up to date. You could argue that it wasn't entirely a waste, but they did waste a significant amount of time.
Copying bad code = waste of time.

Disable, yes. Full 3D games are headache inducing in Mednafen PSX. I literally cannot see anything in Silent Hill, and can barely make out walls from the ground in Dino Crisis.
>>124861356
>I literally cannot see anything in Silent HillThat's the point :^)
Anyway, no way to do so. Just use ePSXe with either gpuBladeSoft or Pete's OpenGL2.
>>124860508
Mupen64plus was used because it was open source and crossplatform. libretro targets as many platforms as possible, therefore it was the only reasonable option. PJ64 wasn't open source at the time the initial port was done either.
So, no, it wasn't a waste of time at all when it provided Android and iOS with N64 emulation years before PJ64 even began to try. When PJ64 can actually compile and run on these platforms, then deprecating Mupen64plus in favor of it could be considered. Also, improving Glide64 performance could hardly be considered a waste of time.
>>124860662
A few regressions or improvements don't make it a completely different emulator. Fundamentally, Mupen64plus is still mostly Mupen64 code, the main difference being the plugin system.
>>124861068

You're right about this though. I would not lift a finger for such a hopeless group of people. It's not like they are very helpful either.

Lets set the record straight. What you call "shitposting" is actually me just raising awareness of issues, while everyone else sucks up to these devs and pretend the flaws don't exist. Guess what? My "shitposting" has resulted in them actually fixing some of the problems.
>>124862638
So shitpost more then! I'm sure all your problems as a gamer will be fucking solved and who gives the fuck if devs are your slaves.
....jeez....people these days >_>
>>124862638
And more problems might actually be fixed if you actually spent the minute out of your day to file an issue report. Not even asking for a pull request or direct contribution. Just raising awareness through the PROPER CHANNELS would be a lot more effective.
The question I asked a week ago or so stands. Why do you refuse to do this, despite stating you would like to see the situation improve and the problems fixed?
I'm beginning to think, assuming what you said was sincere, it's because you don't want your name out in the open.

The shader options are limited in ePSXe/PCSX:R and I'm too used to 4k CRT Royale. The option to disable dithering in Mednafen PSX should be reinstated. I'll take color banding (which can be reduced/eliminated by external shaders in any case) over literal eye cancer any day.

Would you rather me suck up to you guys instead? And perhaps even resort to lying / being delusional about progress just to make you guys happier.
My mission isn't to pester devs into fixing their code. It's simply to bring awareness. There's too many end users sucking up to certain groups of developers and I really do not like when people attribute false positive traits to other groups / software.
I'm not too concerned about whether or not you guys actually follow through with my advice because at the end of the day, NIH ftw. I don't have to deal with the inadequacy of other people's work.
>>124861648
>Mupen64plus was used because it was open source and crossplatform. libretro targets as many platforms as possible, therefore it was the only reasonable option.
I know why they chose M64p. It's because they want to do as little work as possible.
>PJ64 wasn't open source at the time the initial port was done either.
Interesting. I actually did not know this. I'd still prefer PJ64 1.6 as a base. It's written in C anyway, which is a good thing.
>So, no, it wasn't a waste of time at all when it provided Android and iOS with N64 emulation years before PJ64 even began to try. When PJ64 can actually compile and run on these platforms, then deprecating Mupen64plus in favor of it could be considered.
I think patience and efficiency is more important than getting results asap. It's not efficient to prioritize the speed of results over achieving the main goal (quality). It's better to do it right the first time.
>Also, improving Glide64 performance could hardly be considered a waste of time.
Did they really improve the performance, significantly?

I'm honestly not convinced that more issues would get fixed if I went to their IRC or w/e. I can only think of maybe one issue that they might actually fix, had I mentioned it there (outdated msvc project configuration). Sure maybe if they fixed it, I'd actually consider lifting a finger for once :) , but sometimes I prefer just observing. Other than that, I already know I've directly talked to some of the devs, on here. The easy-to-solve issues that they are willing to fix, get fixed.
>>124866665

You can always downgrade the core for now, its not like there have been too many serious fixes since then. This is the good thing about libretro.
>>124866628
>Would you rather me suck up to you guys instead?
I would rather you post by the proper channels than here of all places. At least then if you post in the proper places like on a github issue list, it can be logged and such.
And, no, I prefer if you are brutal. Fuck being nice, just post in a proper place, thats all.
>>124866452
And go back to being a troll instead of trying to be pleasant, yeah I get it. If it makes you happy, fine, I'll go back to being a braindead psychotic ratfucking inbred hack.

And being a fucking cunt about it hiding behind anonymity.
>>124868026
Except you know damn well the devs consider this place a cesspool of trolls who abuse their anonymity to talk shit, so they rarely take anything said here seriously. Doesn't matter whether it's true or not. They are far more likely to react to an actual post on an issue tracker than to some random post made on some random thread on an unofficial channel. You know all this, and still carry on passive-aggresively.
But we've had this discussion before and we're back at square one, so needless to say I give up. I really do think at this point you're being deliberately roundabout for giggles, and couldn't actually seriously care.
>>124866628
Why must you be such a mindless PJ64 fanboy?
We get it, it's the better emulator now, but it doesn't make everyone else's efforts useless. Especially when it still hasn't crawled out of the Win32 mudhole yet.

>N64 emulation
So playing N64 games through Dolphin is far better than playing them on any normal N64 emulator, like mupen64plus or Project64. It runs the games perfectly and accurately.
From what I understand, Dolphin emulates a Wii, and the N64 wad files from the Virtual Console store contain code to emulate the N64 games on a Wii. So you're running an emulator in an emulator, but it's still far more accurate than any "real" N64 emulator like mp64/pj64.
The main downside is I don't know how this would work for any games that weren't released on the Wii Virtual Console store. Apparently some people talk about "injected wads", where you replace the N64 rom in the wad with another. Does anyone have any info on this?
For anyone curious to see for themselves, you can just download the wad files here and play them in Dolphin, it's that simple. https://thepiratebay.bid/torrent/7026737/WiiWare_and_Virtual_Console_Complete_Collection_NTSC-U
>>124871476
Nintendo's emu's aren't accurate at all, they are just custom made per game to play that one game as transparently as possible.
That and save incompatibility means that injecting wads doesn't work at all for the vast majority of games.

Yet these devs still visit here and participate too. I doubt it's a coincidence that SP has the same mentality as some random anon. https://4ch.be/vg/thread/123700314/#q124083743

I have multiple reasons and I've said a few of them. I don't like when people overly praise certain things, is one of my reasons for bringing awareness.
>>124869428

Not me. I care more about quality than quantity.
>>124868969

Kinda does when you end up just scraping the old code.

If portability is such a big deal, then port it.

>Github is whack though.
Opinion invalidated.
>If portability is such a big deal, then port it.
Sometimes porting a piece of software means re-writing huge portions of it. I'm not aware of just how deeply Project64 is based around win32/Direct* crap, but it might be a better effort to just spend that time improving mupen64plus, rather than trying to not make Project64 rely off Windows-only crap.
>>124870435
>And why the fuck should I stop posting?
Because you contribute nothing to the topic that's supposed to be discussed. You treat this general like your personal blog and throw a whiny fit when people like me so much as imply that your posts are trash.
You do nothing but attention whore and post like a preteen from Reddit, and the fact that you need to use a tripcode is proof enough of that.
The question you should be asking is
>And why the fuck should I keep posting?
Because I honestly can't think of an answer that isn't "You shouldn't."
>>124872315
>If portability is such a big deal, then port it.
That's what cxd4 is trying to do right now. It would have helped if Project64 wasn't written in such platform specific code (i.e. bad code) in the first place...

Dolphin is light years ahead of PCSX2. I consider it to be "near perfect". I've never even seen any incompatibility/glitches except the Mario Sunshine cut-scenes looking like crap.
PCSX2 is complete shit on anything except Windows too.
>>124873418

platform specific code is good when you don't care about portability.

I'm well aware of what it would take to make it portable. If it was a better effort to just improve Mupen64plus, then WDC would certainly work on m64p/ frankenmupen already. The worst thing about Project64 is the Cpisspiss code, not win32 code.

bSNES is almsot perefect, Mednafen is almost perfect, Dolphin is painfully mediocre when it comes to emulation.
Dolphin is more useable and the HW renderer is actually good but other than that it's just as shit at emulating the GC/Wii than PCSX2 is at emulating the PS2.

He/she has never written a single line of GL code other than frontend code, and there is no sourcecode to prove otherwise, so still going with yes, not skilled enough.
Making an accurate PSX emu is not a hard thing to do, anybody can do it given enough time and resources. What matters is creating something that people want to use. Nobody wants to run native res PSX games.
