Yes
There's usually an emulation thread there.

This thread is fine here as long as you dont call it a general and bring a specific topic to discuss in the OP

MGS2 with epsxe . gotta love that AA man
Mother 3 (eng translated) good time waster on the phone . still way better than mobile games nowadays

Im trying to play Castlevania SOTN with PSX, but no matter what I try in the aspect ratio settings, it keeps fucking stretching the image to fit my 1600x900 screen when I go fullscreen.
Any advice?
Tried to emulate Yakuza with pcsx2 but the sound is all fucked. Same with Drakengard. Actually I get sound problems with a lot of emulated games on a lot of different emulators. I have no idea why or how to fix it.

Stop using shit emulators
>>343053486
Play windowed mode.
>>343054825
Game?
>>343054825
I picked PSX because I google told me it was the simplest one to use requiring no plugins for its games.
Which one do you reccommend?
>>343055592
Its kind of annoying having to look at the window frame and desktop background while playing though. Is there really no way to get a clean 4:3 fullscreen output?
I just started Forbidden Siren 2. For some reason I'm not feeling it.If you say gamefeel I will cut you

>Should I have taken this to /vg/ instead?
Nah, too much dev drama there and more people are creaming on crt shader than discuss emulation
I want to start playing the Yakuza games, should I emulate it or just play it on original hardware?

The documentation on it looks a little daunting.
Does it require a lot of technical emulating knowledge? I pretty much only know the basics.
Recommend me some PSP games to emulate on my phone.

Currently emulating Metroid Prime and Blood Omen.

I thought they would have fixed the issues by now but I guess it's a niche game
>>343058481
Retroarch+Mednafen then

U just drag and drop the .cue file on the .exe
press alt-shift-1 to bind keys
and modify resolution and shit in the cfg config file
It ain't rocket science son
I genuinely had a dream that a new PCSX2 release fixed Ratchet & Clank games.
I was sad when I woke up.
Dolphin 5.0 says it's missing api-ms-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll. I've had this stupid kind of error before but I can't remember how I fixed it.
Installing Runtime C++ doesn't work because Dolphin automatically did that when it installed.
>>343059897
Blood Omen was fucking stellar.
Currently playing The Thousand Year Door. I let one of my friends borrow this game like 6 years ago and the fucker "lost" it.
I ended up just doing the OSD mod on my PS2 hard drive and buying an N64 flash cart I give up on this shit.

I am trying to play a patched version of SoTN (Japanese audio, English text). The image i'm using works fine on ePSXE. However I can't get it to run on Mednafen.
Can mednafen even play custom roms? or is it strict with compatibility? Castlevania is primarily 2D, so i would like to play that on Mednafen with CRT-Hylian filter.
>>343063407
Do you have the cue file?
>>343063657
I have a .cue file, but the main contents (Track 1) are in a 7zip file rather than an ISO. I'm wondering if that's the issue.
>>343063945
Extract it and try it out.
>>343056094
Don't respond to troll posts. The ones you use are fine. Mednafen is a meme
>>343064026
Hmm... I think i might have found a solution... so I extracted the 7z and it contained a .ecm file. Turns out that can be decompressed further into a .bin
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dlYo7Ibi-o
might give that a shot.
Either way, here's a link to the translated game if you're interested.

Nice. Have fun, anon!
>>343056358
>mednafen
>>343063407
Huh? what do you know, i got it to work..
Had to convert the .ecm and .ape files to bin using separate programs for each, and viola! I have to say, right off the bat the colours are nicer on mednafen compared to what i was getting using Pete'sopengl2 on epsxe... but that might just be me imagining things
>>343052839
Anybody got any good ROMhacks/Mods that I can play on an emulator. Please no Pokemon suggestions. I already played all of the worthwhile ones.
Reminder that rutracker has a full collection of PS1 games up with pre made .cue sheets,search on google how to register an account there.

Hello ePSXe dev
How's that paid android version going?
Are you getting better at stealing code?
>>343066809
Kirby Super Star is a lot of fun.
>>343067043
This. The remake is worth checking out too.
Currently emulating Ultra and playing with an HDMI cable and Wii classic controller so it handles like the SNES original. Fucking love this game.
>>343065985
Looking good so far!
>>343052839
Dolphin 5.0, though i'm struggling to think up of some games I'd like to play on it.
>hear about how Dolphin emulation has improved
>try playing Smash Bros Melee, having not played any Smash in years
>it runs great
>get bored after a few minutes
>can't think of anything else to play
I'd like to play Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, but I'm already playing through Fates and that's going to be giving me my daily dose of FE for a while

What controller do you recommend for emulating on a smartphone?
I'm trying to play MMBN2, but it irks me that I can't use the mega buster/charge attacks and delayed responses are making the game a bother to play.
>>343068078
>playing SOTN without DIE MONSTER
why would anyone do this
>>343068686
I've already got the whole routine memorized so I think I'll be alright.
Besides, apparently there were things in the Jap version that was cut out so I'm curious to find out.

I'm emulating Monster Ranch 4 with ePSX2.
It's kinda shit
First time playing this guys, only ever played the first one when I was a kid.
Its pretty challenging but great so far. I just reached the outer wall save room.
There is backtracking in this right? I feel like missing out on lots of shit when I'm not exploring every single path.
>>343072105
What. Why are my screenshots that small dammit.
>>343072105
you will be doing a lot of backtracking in the latter part of the game. Also, when you beat the game, consider that you have not beaten the game... not yet.
also, try inputting this in game:
up, down, forward, attack.
trying to play mother 3 on vba-m but combo system is really hard, anyone got any tips? i already put no frameskip. Should I just use a cheat so I hit 8 combo every turn? Or wait (maybe forever) for a vc release?
I'm thinking about trying pic related. Is it good, /v/?
>>343072340
>up, down, forward, attack
I already looked up the spell commands, but they don't seem to be working. Do you have to input it very fast?
Maybe I need a special item to cast spells or something?
>>343052839
Next time go to /emugen/ on /vg/, but let's keep that one until it dies out.
>>343072749
you can cast spells with alucard from the start of the game. no special items required. you input the command the same way you do in fighting games if you play those. you don;t need to be fast. just be sure to press one after the other without mashing.
Has the 3ds emulation speed of vanilla citra improved to playable levels for platformers and action games?
>>343073136
I think my rom must be broken then, because none of the spell commands are working.
Does it matter if I press left-hand or right-hand button for attack?
>>343058727
Grand knights history
>>343074359
doesn't matter as any is fine, also, some motion inputs in SoTN are HARD because of how the game registers them, take it from someone who has played fighting games all his life, there's no easy way past that, just practice
>>343076272
Alright I've gotten the hang of most of them now.
I didn't realize I had to SMEAR my thumb across the directional pad to make them work.
I can't seem to get the Wolf Form spell to work though. When I'm in wolf form he just barks when I press the attack button. What am I doing wrong?
