>>122915869
>I just want to play SRW series
Buy the fucking hardware then
Question 1:
I have the full Fightcade ROM pack, and I want to play some of the games on RA, but nothing fucking works. I tried playing them with FBA core, FBA SVN core, CPS2 FBA core (I used it with CPS2 games, of course), MAME core. MAME crashes and complains about missing files (and the same thing happens if I try to load the ROMs that I used with standalone MAME just fine), FBA cores just crash without leaving any error message in console.
Question 2:
I tried to use netplay in RA with some Genesis games, but most games kept desynching for some reason. Is there a way to fix that?
>>122916467
Last I checked it could barely play a 2d game. This is more progress than I thought, nice.
>>122917607
Mind you, it's a port of a PS2 game. So it may not use all the PS3's quirks and power. But it is still a proper 3D PS3 game, as it is a true port. I'm really curious how other games handle. Demon Souls is a high priority.

The Vita has a few exploits here and there, but inconvenient.

>>122928302
>>122928716
You can't hack the Vita side anymore, there was an exploit in a service which has been shut down.
>>122928989
n-nice
>>122928989
You can, it just needs to have rejuvenate installed on the Vita before they removed the app from the store.
>>122928127
It's hands down the best handheld for anything that it can play, but I guess if you really want PS1 then it's not an option.
>>122928127
The N3DS can almost play a lot of PS1 games full speed. With a few optimizations, such as hardware rendering, it may very well be capable of full speed.
>>122928989
>>122929314
Even if you manage to hack it, it's still barely better than the PSP since it can only clock up to 400MHz. Once they find a way to unlock its full power, THEN you will have the God handheld.
>Vita has a 2.0GHz ARM processor

Don't force your lack of adaptation skill on everyone.
>>122940434
It isn't really that people can't adapt to it. It's that it really annoys them, and if the GAMEPLAY of a GAME annoys them they are probably not going to want to play it.
>>122940572
Most of the people I see whining about tank controls never complained a single time about RE4 which speaks volume about them being bitches that can't adapt rather than people who cannot use tank control.
>>122940792
My point is that they could play and finish RE1 but they wouldn't enjoy it because they are annoyed by the controls. They are not annoyed by RE4's due to backcamera and reticule aiming.
>>122941636
Then they aren't annoyed by the control, they're annoyed by the game in itself.
>>122941769
The game entirely includes a lot more than just the controls though. I doubt they are annoyed by the atmosphere, the character designs, the campy story, etc. It's dat gameplay.
>>>/v/317315318
Do you love /v/, emugen?
>>122942742
Yeah sorry meant gameplay not game, still doesn't excuse the whole "It's not tank control if I like how the game plays" or "if I remove tank control from RE it suddenly has good controls" because neither of those are true.
>>122938846
>story
>he plays games for the story
>>122943428
Well I think the issue is people are using the term tank control to describe the mismatch between the direction they push on the controller and the direction the character moves--rather than just that the character moves slowly.
>>122944032
Neither of which are tank control, tank control is when you can only move frontward and backward and you rotate gradually to change direction.
Movement relative to the character perspective instead of the player perspective is just a byproduct of having fixed camera angle and wanting to limit the player mobility, if you actually do movement relative to the player perspective in an RE style game while maintaining the movement limitations you get Fear Effect 2 with the 3D control option on.SPOILER: it's just as hard to adapt to as regular control are
>>122944939
>SPOILER: it's just as hard to adapt to as regular control are
Not for me. That's how I played Silent Hill 2-3 and it worked well.
>>122944996
SH doesn't have as much clear cut transition so you don't have the whole part where you switch back and forth between movement relative to your view and movement relative to your character on every screen transition so you have to release movement everytime to actually go where you intend to go.
is nullDC still the best DC emulator for windows? I've heard of reicast but it seems to only be on linux, which I can't into.
>>122945742
Inside most building hallways it does have clear cut camera transitions and I'm fine with the way it handled that. More logical to my brain than movement relative to the character but the camera not being relative to the character.
>>122946382
>more logical to my brain than movement relative to the character but the camera not being relative to the character.
Having the way movement behave change on every screen transition isn't more logical than it staying the same throughout the game.
Tank controls suck no exceptions and it has nothing to do with growing up with them or not.
There is nothing hard about them it's just not fun to watch your character slowly rotate to where you want to go.
>>122946553
>There is nothing hard about them it's just not fun to watch your character slowly rotate to where you want to go.
>what are quickturns
>what is being mindful of your movement so you don't have to end up rotating in place like a dumbass
>>122946502
No, the problem is having the camera angles change on every screen transition. Instead they should either stay the same (top down RPG) or follow the player (most games now)
>>122946828
Oh god just shut up. I don't want to get used to shittiness, nothing will ever make me like tank controls and gamepad aiming. Because they suck, suck, suck.

Why do you keep defending tank controls? Why are you still doing it, despite running out of arguments long ago and having to resort to ad hominems? Yeah, we got it, it is possible to get used to shit controls, but it doesn't mean that normal person would want to.
>>122947104
>>The way to fix problems with screen transition is to not have screen transition at all
No, you can still have screen transitions: as old top down RPGs like Chrono Trigger and the like did. Just keep them from the same view.
>>122947240
Tank control are where they belong, in the past, you're the one who wants to go back and break the games that used it by changing them to something that can't possibly fit them because you can't adapt.

>>122965684
People should be helping more with keeping cores maintained and up to date. Most of that work is simple enough that inexperienced coders can handle it since it mostly consists of merging commits from upstream.
Yet few people try to do anything so it generally falls on one person to do it all whenever he can find time to do it.
>>122979793
People are persistent and annoying when what seem like basic features aren't there. Kind of like save states with mednafen.
>>122981924
>People should be helping more with keeping cores maintained and up to date.
The problem with that is that the libretro cores are upstream-unfriendly forks with a little amount of NIH.
I don't feel like maintaining two different corebases at the same time.
>>122982551
You can make an upstream-friendly fork if that's such a big deal. Or just merge it into upstream.
>>122982801
>You can make an upstream-friendly fork
That's what SP should've done when he made the forks
>>122983079
He did that on some of them but it became a maintenance burden when upstream would make radical changes to their code frequently and nobody was helping with it so he does hard forks now.
>>122981924
>People should be helping more with keeping cores maintained and up to date.
I agree that people should be helping more, but it's their own fault for disrespecting other devs, hence why they have less support than they could have.
>Most of that work is simple enough that inexperienced coders can handle it since it mostly consists of merging commits from upstream.
I agree 100%. It really annoys me when end users act like they are mentally challenged, claiming they can't even do basic tasks.
>Yet few people try to do anything so it generally falls on one person to do it all whenever he can find time to do it.
I do think they are managing too many cores. However, lack of time isn't a good excuse because you should be able to prioritize. I will not blame them 100% for not being to able fix the bugs in their Angrylion fork, since it will require a lot of time. However, there is absolutely no excuse for not updating their lle RSP fork. All they have to do is merge a few important changes, which would take minutes. I say this, after hearing someone imply that libretro m64p was 100% superior, even though it clearly is not 100% superior.

>However, there is absolutely no excuse for not updating their lle RSP fork. All they have to do is merge a few important changes, which would take minutes.
I don't think it's quite that simple because the structure of cxd4-rsp changed at some point and it has less files than it used to, and you can't just drop in the updates.
Some roms I have have the particular a particular file extension [.(s)md for megadrive, .smc for snes, etc] while others have a generic .bin.
Are they all actually .bin files renamed to some particular extension for clarity, or are they in different formats?
A long time ago I looked into modding my ps3 but backed off because I didn't want to fuck it up. These days the old girl basically just collects dust anyway and I found an E3 flasher for pretty cheap, so I might give it a go.

>>122987623
>Better DS3 is MotioninJoy, just with a different frontend
Better DS3 uses the same drivers. But Better DS3 is hardly MotionJoy.
"MotionJoy" kind of implies the whole package. And by using Better DS3 you can use the drivers while disregarding all the bullshit.

Sure you can't just automatically merge commits, but it's not hard to copy paste or tweak small pieces of code. It's not like cxd4 has even done a lot of important work to his RSP in the past year. There are only a few changes that are important enough to even implement, such as https://github.com/cxd4/rsp/commit/95cf462dfb72135e4e8ba57581459f5b7b3424b9 and https://github.com/cxd4/rsp/commit/74b3ee72ce04b9f95612ef924b210a7a74f76768

You probably don't think stuff like trash talking is "substantial", but trash talking is enough to piss people off. If you piss others off, they are less inclined to help you.
>>122983314
Why is SP just such a man standing alone in emulation?
>>122991746
Not really, it's just childish to hold grudges based on forum or IRC arguments, this goes both for SP and for other emudevs. Unless some kind of actual harm is done (like code sabotage or harassment), then it's not really substantial at all.
Some of these people crying about being mistreated probably were not inclined to cooperate in the first place, they were just hunting a reason not to when users asked about libretro support. People who actually want to support libretro are already doing so, with or without SP's assistance. For example, Endrift maintains the libretro port of mGBA but doesn't interact with SP much at all, so supporting libretro doesn't require you to interact with SP if you really don't like him.
>>122938314

I do not think it is childish to hold grudges based on arguments. When you're too forgiving, you'll likely continue dealing with more BS, later down the road. I don't think it's even healthy to work with people you have a problem with.
Serious question though. Why should those who do no like the libretro team, help out libretro?
>>122982432
Honestly, it seems you are stuck in the past.
Mednafen PSX libretro supports savestates a long time now.
>>122995065
Trust me, it is in your best interests to cooperate with libretro if you want to have any control over how your codebase gets used and steered along.
The amount of libretro frontends keep increasing at a rapid rate, you will want to be the 'upstream' of any such coding project that serves as the 'base' for that or you are simply going to be locked out of your own codebase.
So all you are doing really as a 'dev' by being this antagonistic is effectively losing control over your own code. Congratulations for letting your shortsightedness cause the exact thing you fear then, and continue the way you are doing right now.
>>122983079
SP doesn't owe you anything.
If SP has to do all the work ,he gets to decide if it is a hard fork or an upstream-friendly port.
If people at upstream were more welcoming and less dismissive he might not have chosen this direction. Most of the time though, it is not really worth it dealing with a bunch of inflated egos that just get in the way of getting stuff done though.

But SP is one of those egos by his own admission. Furthermore, people generally make emus and front ends to have them used by the widest possible audience, which is why they add all kinds of convenient features without saying "I don't owe you anything" or without people having to ask even.
>>122996918

SP's just like that. He just wants Retroarch to run on countless platforms even if it omits those used to a wimp interface for PC users.

I think hard forks are often times better. Too many people copy poorly written code. When explaining these flaws to the original author, sometimes it can be a real hassle convincing them that their code is has a problem. Rather than dealing with that, I'd rather just fix the issue on my fork and move on.

no idea what youre talking about, hrydgard never said anything about libretro.
psp1 is a dependency less fork that will get worked on again once RA 1.3 gets released, like a bunch of other stuff. Modularity is important for libretro cores and precious few emulators fit the bill. Emulator projects with tons of platform specific code in them flies in the face of that, hence often the resort to hard fork. when/if emulator projects start being more open to the kind of design considerations libretro wants to instill, cooperation is possible. But stubbornless on upstream side will be met by equal stubbornness on Libretro side. It is a two way street, and compromises and concessions have to be made like in any other field.

Don't compile them in and everything's fine.
Hacking everything out causes more issues than it's worth and kills off any sort of upstream compatibility

That's easy for you to say. Just in the emulation scene alone, there have been times where I didn't take some angry person seriously and their behavior eventually got worse and worse. Besides, not all arguments are worthless banter.
>However, the problem is that many in the emu scene are not mentally sane...
I beg to differ. There do seem to be quite a few people in the emu scene who are mentally challenged. But "not mentally sane" is a bit of a stretch.

Unless you're in every relevant IRC channel 24/7 or those channels are fully logged, you're probably going to miss something someone said. That's why you should take any "he said, she said" stuff from IRC with a grain of salt unless someone posts a full log of said discussion.

>>123017734
No, because Dolphin HLEs the IOS software that's usually running on the Starlet. It doesn't actually emulate the Starlet itself, so any software using alternative Starlet software will break hilariously. Good thing no games rely on this...

When I try to play PAL Crash Team Racing on any emulator (via BIN/CUE) or my PSP (via EBOOT) the game crashes when trying to load into a race.
Have any of you guys had the same problem, and if so how is it fixed?
>>123021102
It would have that chance, yes. On the other hand, it would force the Dolphin team to actually emulate the Starlet. I've been trying to nag them about this, as I do not believe my own skills to be enough to do it. Of course, HLE should still be allowed to exist in the codebase, as it could give a considerable speed benefit.

So I was just reminded of some radical shit from back in the day. The Game of Life on ps1. Shit's so jank, I love it. Is netplay on ePSXe or whatever any reliable, and if so, would it actually work for this? If I remember correctly, the game was played on one controller, passed around between players, rather than multiple controllers, which is why I ask. Also, is your general always this dead?
Is there a gameshark plugin or something for pSX? I want access to gameshark codes and a fast forward button. pSX is the only emulator with a fast forward function (backspace by default) but is also the only emulator that doesn't have a built in function for gameshark codes.

Emu devs create emulators. Thus talking about them is actually the purest form of talking about emulators. They are defective human creatures and thus their defects form defects in our emulators. This should never have come to pass.

>psp1 is a dependency less fork that will get worked on again once
When do you estimate it? Next year or 2017?
Because it seems that it can just be compiled and shipped now, and there is no reason to not do that when 1.2.2 is stable.
> when/if emulator projects start being more open to the kind of design considerations libretro wants to instill
Anon, 1.2.2 will not be stable forever. If Libreto really wanted to be progressive, it would make 1.2.2 "Stable" for the next decade.
The reality is that 1.3 might kill the project due needing to patch the cores, just like 1.2 did.
After all, we only use Retroarch for the video/audio/latency setup, and not for anything else. Otherwise we would just use standalone PPSSPP or some super frontend.

I'm pretty new to this, the most I've done is play some snes and ds emulators. How is ps2 emulation and what kind of pc specs should I have for it not to be shit? I could always just burn Iso's and play on my old ps2 if emulation is garbage, but it's a pain in the ass.
Hey, I know I've seen it posted here before, but what are the best cores for each system for retroarch android?
I'm tired of having so many core options I don't use.
I'm using an HTC One M8. I haven't had speed issues on anything yet except the DS core (hooray for pirated Drastic), and I haven't tried the PPSSPP core because the standalone works fine.

Using pcsx2 1.3.1.
The only fix I found is to use a different video plugin, GSDX Cutie (which is all in Japanese) and turn Skiptex to 2 and skipdraw to 1.
Problem is that makes some sprites invisible.
I can deal with it, just wondering if there is a better way to fix it
>>123068823
How old is he, again?
>>123066341
No anon, its constantly broken. You can't take a core and pair it with the wrong version.
The reality is that most devs or some volunteer port the emu, and do basic maintenance for maybe a month.
We can compared it to a project: Battle for Wesnoth. Wesnoth is 1.21 or some shit now. Every version update breaks ALL campaigns. The core campaign are usually repacked on update, but thats like 1/3 of the good campaigns.
So on every version change, all campaigns break.
Libretro is similar. All updates breaks all cores. You have to hope the cores you use get recompiled for the new version, if they don't need to be patched.
The good side is that it looks like Libretro gets 1 update every 2-4 years. So its not a issue.
>>123073948
>You can't take a core and pair it with the wrong version.
Yes you can. I use 1.2.2 cores with Retroarch 1.0.0.2 stable all the time.
>>123073948
that's bs, we had people using 1.0.0.2 cores on 1.2 wii and viceversa because the wii port was having an issue.
And I still have a 2 year old mame078 core working on my setup.
>>122995781
>Trust me, it is in your best interests to cooperate with libretro if you want to have any control over how your codebase gets used and steered along.
I honestly wish it was in my best interest, but idk if it really is in my best interest. I do appreciate the fact that they care about portability and prefer C over Cpisspiss. Even though mupen64plus-libretro has improvements over m64p, it still has too many problems for me. I have no real reason to use mupen64plus-libretro over Project64, since I'm a fan of LLE. I was not even able to compile mupen64plus-libretro with MSVC, which was the nail in the coffin. If the emulator used zilmar's plugin spec (like the original mupen64 did) and could compile with MSVC, I'd be more interested.

If you really want them to start emulating it, try:
>we're not accurate enough
>we need to go deeper
>>123075474
Which isn't true. You still need to compile the cores against the libretro version.
You can't slap a 1.0.0.2 core to 1.2
>>123083685
The API itself didn't change in that time, though. Cores are independent of RA.
>>123083685
There's only been a libretro v1 so far. As long as the ABI isn't changed, the cores will continue to work in all frontends that support libertro v1.
There is a planned future ABI break known as libretro v2, when that happens then old cores will no longer work and require updating.
So far they have not broken the ABI so a core that was built in 2011 should still work today. Adding more callbacks to libretro won't break the ABI as long as existing interfaces are not changed.

Techinically the API was extended, but the underlying ABI was not changed.
