Should we be playing Crash Bandicoot in 32:15? That's what aspect ratio it rendered at.
>>123701518
Did you play SNES on a 8:7 CRT?
>>123701518
No. They were meant for 4:3, as that's all they were ever displayed at.
>>123703038
Also pic related. Are modern console games supposed to be played at what ever weird resolution and aspect they're rendered at?
>>123701518
there are examples of both, I think f-zero is proper at 4:3, and I think there are some games where both are mixed.
They were meant to be played on the TVs available then (which were 4:3) and those had lots of knobs remember?, pretty sure some were skewed even further.

Why that CEMU dev still haven't released source code?
1. Does he use some proprietary code from Nintendo devkit and afraid that he can be sued?
2. Does he just wants to get all the donations to himself?

If #1 is not the case then why is that other open source Wii U is not on par with CEMU?

>>123701518
Some portions of the first-party SNES games that I played seem to compensate for the aspect ratio of TVs. However, most parts of those games don't seem to do to that.

Planning of making a cheap PC just for coding and playing emulators. Is this okay?
>>123723191
Have fun when you need a video card.
>>123724102
Already have that planned. Got a spare GTX760 lying around.
How do you turn off shaders in RetroArch? I turned one on and can't find any way to reset to default.
>>123724803
Then you're set. The memetium overclocks like crazy and it's haswell so it should be great.
>>123725471
yah, nice IPC/cost ratio, supports decent SSE extensions like SSSE3, is haswell arch, very cheap, doesn't have useless shit for emulation like hyperthreading. The GTX760 is good in that its a used part, had somewhat okay performance, supports DX11/OGL4, but has better support for OGL3/DX10, so it forces you to optimize, and is pretty much a middleground GPU. I have a spare 21 inch monitor too. Might be a good project though to see how self controlled I can be.
Plus, working out the maths to live comfortably while getting the parts in a decent amount of time is fun. Autistic, I know.
>>123723191
>>123727386
Didn't you have a 4670?
>>123727580
I have a 4790 non K and a GTX970. I had a 4670 non K in the past, currently my brother has it as a spare, though he has a 5960x and dual 770s, could send dev builds to him though, but he is pretty busy with his real life endevours.
I'm not sure where the mobos for the 4670 went. And the RAM.
Ok, /emug/, here's my dilemma.
I want to replay the GBA Pokeymans (Fire Red, Leaf Green, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald) but too much time on /vg/ has given me stats autism. Is there a way I can edit the EV/IV values of a Pokemon that exists in a ROM's save data?
After doing so, would I be able to continue emulating on the PSP, like I'm doing?
>>123725049
Just set the shader pass down to 0 by pressing back, then apply.
>>123733435
Use A-save if you want to be a faggot.
Question for people who know about input lag:
How much latency do KVMs usually add?
>>123733435

Depends on the quality. If it's under 16.67ms, it shouldn't matter too much.

What happened to Dolphin? Game compatibility is going out the window and performance is falling with every new release.
I've noticed that even high priority games like Super Smash Bros. Melee have new issues that no one seems to be focusing on. Hell even Pokemon Snap stopped working, and after they took the time to publish that article on how they fixed it. And wasn't switching to VS2015 supposed to improve performance?
I use 4.0-7840 for Project M netplay purposes and I've found that it surpasses the newer builds for most other things as well.

That's only one screenshot. In games like Kirby Super Star and The Legend of Zelda ALTTP, most of the areas in those games don't actually compensate for a 4:3 aspect ratio unless a large picture is shown. The remakes of the two games didn't adjust the sizes of the sprites.

Where can I get good rompacks?

>good SNES emulators for PSP
No. This is the best you can get:
http://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Emulators_on_PSP#Super_Famicom_.28SNES.29
Newest version (.28) is apparently unstable; use .27.
Set emulation engine to "PSP accelerated + approximate software", or "PSP accelerated + accurate software". The other options can give you better results, but they disable the home and power keys, forcing you to pop the battery out to shut down.

hey guys it's been a long ass time since the last time I emulated anything not named PS2/GCN/Wii, and I'm having trouble using the good old BSNES (higan v095), the thing is that it doesn't recognize my roms, I'm doing what I used to do back then (library > Super Famicom) but when I navigate to my roms folder it doesn't show anything.
any help? is BSNES still the best SNES emu? thanks in advance
>>123793523
You should probably use the version of Higan that last recognized your library (if you are as I assume using byuu's weird game library format roms rather than normal ones; otherwise you just need to import the real roms to turn them into CrazyByuuFormat). Byuu probably messed with the settings in 095 and who knows what it'd take to get it to recognize them. AFAIK Higan 094 is no worse for SNES than Higan 095.
>>123795110
I used v094 and still have it, It still loads my games and creates the gamefolders without problem, and I can load v094 gamefolders in v095, I suppose I will create the gamefolders with 94 then play them in 95, thanks for the fast reply

>>123825131
>They're constantly breaking shit and removing features.
Justify this accusation. Things are fairly stable, an outdated config file does not necessitate anything been broken.
>>123796043
The game folders created in v094 should work in v095. However, higan has a separate program for importing ROMs called icarus, so you don't need v094. Also, iirc, it's recommended that you delete the manifest files for each of the SNES games in your library if you're using v095. Just make sure that you don't remove icarus from the folder that higan is in.
>>123827289
Or he could forgo dealing with that autismal shit and just use bsnes classic or RetroArch.
>>123825131
>removing features.
Like what?
>>123827405
higan v095 has decent GBA support compared to higan v094, though, and the idea of game folders never seemed to be much of a hindrance, in my opinion.

Because:
>Beware the turtleman. Dressed in ragged robes, he stalks the halls of emulation's dark corners, clanging his metal cup against the walls as he walks. If one should see him, escape quickly. Whatever you might do, never look into his eyes, else he will begin following you, demanding Xbox and SNES docs. Try to outrun him though you might, for after some time you must tire but he will not. In that time he will catch up to you, and the chase will begin again. The turtle will always follow, for the rest of your life he will haunt you. Always demanding docs, secret knowledge, whether you have it or not. For the slow and steady turtle always wins the race in the end.

The ABI has remained stable. It's configs that break once in a while.
For me, the only time I ever had an issue with configuration moving from one version of RetroArch to another was with Mupen crashing upon loading a game, and all I had to do was turn off a specific setting. I've not really had to touch my configurations for a good year beyond stuff like inputs and shaders, despite updating my build once a week.
>>123882232
Lack of programming rigour mostly, likely combined with non-stop coding and lack of sleep.
Probably zero professional experience as well, which means he has no idea what code reviews or regression tests are for.
Sometime you need to step down a little to get a fresh or new external look to actually start seeing problems in your code...

I saw that but the guy kept pressing him (might have been neobrain or a Dolphin dev) and he said he'd try them (presumably again)

Too bad almost all "professional" coders are purely coding for the money, and are prone to sell out. We need more untainted "non-professional" self taught coders who are more likely to stick behind their passion without selling out.

Which is the best GBA core?
>>123899559
mGBA, I don't think VBA-M is recommended at all anymore aside from VBA-Next for lower end devices.
are any filters good or are they cancerous? started to play ff5 on vba-m
>>123900508
lcd-grid-v2 is good for handhelds

>>123901136
>playing on a laptop tho
He meant for emulating handheld systems, not playing on handhelds.
Personally I just use the same CRT shader for handhelds that I do for consoles.
>>123900227
Faggot, mGBA runs well on the goddamn Wii.
>>123902260
There are weaker systems than the Wii.
I'm looking to rip some PSX sprites, is there any emulator with built-in tools for that purpose?
>>123899538
use RetroArch
>>123902373
I think there's a VRAM viewer in ePSXe. Bladesoft had something related to sprite dumping as well I think, not sure if it's been relased.
>>123898063
if that happened we'd need 20Ghz CPUs
>>123902373
>>123903737
Yeah gpuBladeSoft can dump textures, you just need to open the ini file and set:
texturereplacementcollect = true
>>123902348
None of them are useful as emulation boxes
Can someone explain to me generally speaking how emulators work. Like dolphin for example.
With my current knowledge if I wanted to an emulator I would do it as an interpreter and just translate line by line from powerpc to x86.
In theory though (I dont know too much about compilers) couldnt you just compile the game before playing it. This is what I assume dolphin does because it has an interpreter mode.
But if it does compile the game before running it, Couldnt you just store the game separately and have it be its own exe. Things like inputs, memcard, etc would have to be emulated still but it would allow for optimizing games individually.
>>123905579
actually, for newer generation systems, this almost makes sense to distribute games like this. a few mb for an emu/bios tacked on to a dvd is neglegable.
when emulators get abandoned or whatever it's often a strange or hacked version that runs a certain game best.
you might look at romjacket as it has per-game granularity for this kind of thing.
>>123903664
Nah, lag's cleared up and OE worked better out of the box.
Fuck setting shit up manually just to play gameboy games on a mac. I wouldn't even be using one of these integrated things if individual emulators weren't so cocktastic with their mac support.
>>123906336
This is how they should've done it for PS2/GCN/Wii. Having one emu that runs everything makes things more complex and slow. Just get a good core emu down and then apply whatever code is needed to get the game working well and ignore anything that isn't needed to be too accurate for that game to gain speed ups
>>123906336
Am I correct in assuming that sec or 2 delay at the beginning of running dolphin is dolphin compiling the game into x86. Id be interested in helping out with some aspects of emulator but first I need to understand how they work.
>>123907492
when I baggered JMC47 about this he said that dolphin does it this way because the devs work on dolphin for their resumes. So a single emulator that runs all the games looks far more impressive than having each game be tailored.
>>123907783
>he said that dolphin does it this way because the devs work on dolphin for their resumes
Rachel still couldn't get a job
>>123907783
Wow what a load of garbage. So they're basically just using it as a resume booster. I didn't realize companies would like hearing people worked on something that assures that they pirated games
>>123898257
It was good enough to make an everlasting meme.
It's also pretty good as long as you don't try to get every single collectable for every Kong. That's when it starts to really suck.
>>123907014
OE is the epitome of shittier. It doesn't work 'better out of the box'.
> Fuck setting shit up manually just to play gameboy games on a mac.
This is 2015, try living in it. Setting up RA is almost done automagically now.
>>123905579
Emulators use dynamic recompilation to translate chunks of instructions on the fly. There's some inherent issues with static recompilation when it comes to emulators:
http://andrewkelley.me/post/jamulator.html
>>123908429
emulation is completely legal lol. Companies want to see you work on a major project though. Things like this look really good.
Thats like saying that creating a torrent client looks bad because people use torrents illegally. Torrenting is perfectly legal.
>>123880848
I love how cxd4 just went along with it.
>>123909943
In order to work on an emulator you need to test games with that emulator, tons and tons of games. And I guarantee you don't own all those games. Therefore we know all emudevs are pirates.
>>123882048
<Twinaphex> that 7zip code is messy and not something I originally wrote
<Twinaphex> but some guy called timostrunks
<Twinaphex> we will likely fix it but I really want for that code to be clean otherwise it will remain a nuisance and a burden
<Twinaphex> to be honest we should have never merged 7zip support
sip, not his fault
>>123912651
Yeah, don't support things for the convenience of users if it requires outside contributors whose code quality is not assured. That isn't what open source projects are about. Open source means the source is just there but no one else uses it but the 3 guys on the team.
>>123913215
>>123912651
but anon, the commit that broke it was some refactoring by SP
>>123909074
>It doesn't work 'better out of the box'.
I toss a ROM in, I config my controller and I play. That is the epitome of effort that I'll put into getting an emulator to work in 2015.
>This is 2015
Retroarch fucked up the one time I tried it, now I could try a different version, or I could look into the problem, but there's an issue here - it's 2015, and in 2005 I could have been playing by now. I'm not going to piss away time troubleshooting one program when I can try another and play my goddamn games.
I'm genuinely curious though, what's actually wrong with OE? At first it did seem somehow distasteful [when looking at their site] so I'm open to the idea it's got something horrible lurking in it- but like I said: I threw ROMs in and played on OE, while the retroarch UI shit itself.
>>123911913
They dont have to. Just get others to test for them like the do anyways.
I can't believe https://github.com/libretro/mupen64plus-libretro/issues/270 hasn't been fixed yet. What's the holdup??

byuu bought every single commercially released US SNES game. And pretty sure JPDPlay! dev - and yeah not the best example as it's still far from complete, but stillbuys all his games.
>>123915804
RetroArch on Android and iOS. A guy just reported the new Android M breaks some stuff.
>>123915646
Anon, without testing you can't program shit. You will have hardly any idea if what you're working with will run properly or fix a problem that's been reported or not. You can't outsource all your testing. Only the second layer that escapes your initial testing.
>>123916031
>byuu bought every single commercially released US SNES game.
Was that before or after he did work on his emulator? :^)
> And pretty sure JPD Play! dev - and yeah not the best example as it's still far from complete, but still buys all his games.
No wonder his emu barely works. He probably tests it on like 60 games and can't test it on a ton more.
>>123916031
>byuu bought every single commercially released US SNES game
Why didn't he buy the European ones then? Or does BSNES have a bunch of problems with European games no one ever mentions when they say it's "perfect"? And don't give that crap that if you make every US and JP game work all the European games will all work fine too without any problems ever coming up you have to test to fix.
>>123916967
You don't need to test every single game to have every single game work. IDK why you guys think that's the case.
Have you ever followed a new emulator being made? A developer will only work and test with a handful of games, and once those start working, many many other games do as well. Every game isn't its own special snowflake that requires one off needs - those are quite rare.
>>123916334
>Anon, without testing you can't program shit. You will have hardly any idea if what you're working with will run properly or fix a problem that's been reported or not. You can't outsource all your testing. Only the second layer that escapes your initial testing.
I have to agree. Especially since end users are unreliable when it comes to testing.

I'm not talking about every single game but rather a decent amount of oddballs that will stop working if you don't get something exactly right. There have to be some European games like that in a library of thousands.
Emulation will always betray you. You will never have enough power to emulate everything you desire.

You're welcome fag.
ok guys, i am in need of help that i cant seem to find anywhere after googling or reading the wiki. so i got retroarch, downloaded the mednafen PS1 core, and got a couple ROM's and shit. I plug in my PS3 controller and it doesnt work, after reading something on their github i found retroarch already has a wrapper. so i did a clean wipe of the SCP wrapper, retroarch then detected my PS3 controller after the wipe, it did an autoconfig, and i go to try it out ingame but my controller still doesnt work. what gives? no matter what combination of settings i try it doesnt seem to work.
>>123923913
you might be able to fix it by going to settings -> drivers -> joypad driver
>>123924610
well, which one do i use? xinput and hid didnt work. im not entirely sure what sdl2 is and i think dinput is my keyboard.
>>123923913
no, RetroArch doesn't have a wrapper.
Where did you read this?
>>123923913
>retroarch already has a wrapper.
No, it works with XInput though, so reinstall SCP, make sure RetroArch's input driver is set to xinput and it should just werk.
>>123925254
i...i read it
>>123925257
okie dokie
>>123925367
>>123925257
it didnt werk, thanks todd.
in all seriousness though, is there anything in particular bind mode, device type, or device index should be set to? as of now bind mode is retropad, device type is none, and device index is N/A (Port #0)
Are there any good PS3/PS4 emulators yet?
>>123925367
>>123925869
with xinput and autoconf there is literally nothing to setup
>>123929448
TONS.
just do a search for internet explorer toolbars and it's probably the link with the most html blink tags.
>>123905431
Try telling that to the PSP/3DS fuccbois and see if they listen
>>123915804
>https://github.com/libretro/mupen64plus-libretro/issues/270
Because that 'fix' doesn't fix anything and just creates other bugs again. So you trade one bug for other bugs.
>>123913684
>- but like I said: I threw ROMs in and played on OE, while the retroarch UI shit itself.
So ignorant. The amount of effort and polish expended onto XMB and GLUI far blows away some lame and outdated Quartz/MacOS dumbshit UI coded up in about 5 minutes.
>>123934690
That seems to define RA: Misplaced effort.
All the effort went into tiny autistic details at the expense of the big picture.
