is there any way to get fan translations with external .wav audio like the Ys IV fan dub and the Xak III fan dub to work in mednafen-pce in Retroarch?
I used to be able to get them to work on my old pc by mounting the .cue and playing them in magic engine, but I heard daemontools has malware now so I'd rather find a way to play them in retroarch
>>127726750
Modern mednafen no longer supports reading CDs from a disk drive, libretro or not.
>>127726957
is there any way to do it then? like do I have to recreate the iso image to make the external audio internal or something?
I remember a long time ago someone here said they were able to get Ys IV working in RA, but I don't remember how they did it
>>127727301
Just load the cue into mednafen you dumb shit.
>>127727301
>like do I have to recreate the iso image to make the external audio internal or something?
That would probably work
>>127727505
I do that, and it crashes.
Normal PCE-CD games without external audio work just fine, it's just these two fandub translations that I can't get to run
I don't even particularly like the fandubs, it's just there's no subtitles during the cutscenes in these games so that makes them necessary
>>127727541
how do I do that though
>>127727848
Mount it with something (WinCDemu for example) and then use a disc ripper

>>127730535
Well, that is taking emulation to zero, so I would say very related.

>>127730791
It's the re-release.
They did a shit job on the backgrounds.
>>127738536
Because they had to deal with no source code and sub 640 x 480 compressed JPEGs. This was not a game that had any business receiving the "muh HD" treatment, but then again, Square isn't known for being sane when it comes to their Final Fantasy re-releases.

>>127738754
Everyone loves muh HD. This is proof. Even Square Enix knows where their bread is buttered and it isn't in 240p dithered shit
So what settings do I need to play with to fix the blur?
Using PCSX2 with the GSdx 5875 plug in
also do Rachet and Clank just not run well at all? or do I need to play with settings to make them work?
Or is it just that I have an AMD CPU, a 750K, it works in a lot of games just fine but it really struggles on ratchet and clank.
>>127738491
LOL, you need that shit even for Dreamcast games?

>>127743915
yah. lay off the saw-tooth or whatever you crazy hicks call it these days
>>127743382
>AMD
lol
>>127744252
It runs most games fine
I tried every interlacing option and it's still blurry
>>127743915
>>127744074
I've never used PCSX2 before, but my guess is that the game switches between 240p for in-game and 480i for the menus and the emulator can't tell when the game switches for whatever reason.
If that's the case you'll have to choose between ugly menus or ugly gameplay, or else switch (de)interlacing options each time the game changes.
>>127744074
>>127743382
If hitting F5 doesn't fix it, try skipdraw. If that doesn't fix it, you're probably screwed.
>also do Rachet and Clank just not run well at all?
Nope.
>>127744913
isn't there a way to set that shit via hotkeys or soemthing?
>>127745061
Like I said, I've never used PCSX2 so I wouldn't know.
>>127744913
Well the game looks fine under Auto unless I interact with something, which causes it all to get blurry
>>127745060
that it made Shake, Next It Deinterlaced, and the nit was back to normal

Those aren't frame rate drops, the game internally is lagging like SOTC or MGS3.
I had over 100fps recording that.
>>127749029
Sure you don't have VU cycle stealing on?
>>127749313
I did, is that bad?
EE cyclerate it is.
>>127749515
>I did, is that bad?
Yes, it reports false framerate.
>>127749515
You're underclocking the emotion engine, so it is if you have a good pc. The internal framerate gets reduced in exchange of not having slowdowns.
>>127749584
>>127749638
Well thanks. Can you tell me about the other speed hacks?
Well, I officially reached THAT part
>>127743915
>>127744074
Make a copy of your .iso and try a program called ps2force480p on it, forces progressive mode and rarely works but when it does it's pretty fucking glorious.
>>127749515
VU cycle stealing and EE cyclerate are pretend fullspeed, they affect internal FPS a lot while increasing the VFPS, technically with EE cyclerate yoiu're emulating a console that has an underclocked EE and with VU cycle stealing it's about the same thing except this time the power you're not using to emulate a fullspeed EE goes to the VU emulation.
EE cyclerate now has overclcking though using that slider and then you're obviously negating part of the internal slowdown if you turn it on, some game do break pretty spectacularly when you do that though. some also become insanely resource intensive (Warship gunner goes from 80-100 to 30 in intensive battles)
>>127754376
Fuck Koei and their retarded ideas of "aircraft balance". To add insult to the injury shit in WS2 is extremely low poly too.
>>127754559
>Fuck Koei and their retarded ideas of "aircraft balance".
Nigga nothing is balanced, AGS and energy weapons being the worst example of that, or even smaller examples like HE VLS vs cruise missiles.
A supercarrier with a full complement of duck planes might actually not totally suck shit if you invest in a couple laser pointer to make them attack things you want them to attack.
Meanwhile you can just make a huge battleship that wreck absolutely everything
>>127738754
>Because they had to deal with no source code and sub 640 x 480 compressed JPEGs.
Is it emulated? IX never got a old PC port. Does that mean all the development stuff for the play station games were lost?
>>127755534
>Is it emulated?
Doesn't look like it, or they made the best fucking emulator ever, I think they actually remade the game.
> Does that mean all the development stuff for the play station games were lost?
Usual japanese company stuff once a project is done everything is nuked.
>>127755531
My complain is mostly on how instead of having a maximum of 20 planes on the air at the same time that score fucktons of damage if their bombs/missiles hit there are hundreds on planes in the air at the same time that give pitiful amount of damage. That makes the game perform like shit, with the addition of making carries completely unviable unless
1. you're playing a fresh new game on very easy mode, but even then you'll have a hard time
or
2. as you said you unlocked the duckplanes, in that case why even bother with carriers?
>AGS and energy weapons being the worst example of that, or even smaller examples like HE VLS vs cruise missiles.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but by the time you have access to those the enemies you'll face will have absurd amount of resistance to the energy weapons' damage (unless you grinded a fuckton of "training" missions), to the point that you're better off with sticking to traditional guns and torpedoes (which are always OP as shit in WS2's case anyway), since that saves space and mass that is better invested in thick armor in addition to the gravity/em shield.
>>127756263
AGS are literally absurd, a 3 barrel one is vastly more powerful than a 406mm rotating cannon that takes 4 times the weight and way more space aka there's literally no reason to no just stick 3 times the AGS.
Energy weapons are never useful, too big, too heavy, and almost everything has EM shield by the time you unlock them, you also can't fire them in tandem which also makes railguns almost useless.
HE VLS (cruise missiles are too big and heavy to be worth it) are literally the only thing you need on most missions except when you face battleship that can take more than 3, and don't get me started on the fucking travesty that is the drill missile (it sounds awesome right? it fucking ain't)
>>127756887
Are you talking about WS2 or WS1? Because in WS2 the Gatling cannons aren't nearly as deadly as they were in WS1. On the other hand the 80cm long barreled gun with all of the accuracy and ROF upgrades makes short work of everything that isn't a speedboat or a small destroyer.
Also what modules do you use with the AGS, if you use any at all?
>Energy weapons are never useful, too big, too heavy, and almost everything has EM shield by the time you unlock them, you also can't fire them in tandem which also makes railguns almost useless.
That's what I said. At least the cat laser looks comfy.
Also why is the point defense AA laser so fucking bad? Even the low calibre machineguns are better than it.
>HE VLS
I stick with cluser VLS, and that's only if I need to destroy buildings, if not I usually swap them for more SAM VLSes.
>>127757307
>Are you talking about WS2 or WS1?
WS2, 1 has that other problem where the twin 88 rapes the shit out of everything and the bigger ones are a downgrade most of the time.
>Also what modules do you use with the AGS, if you use any at all?
The autoloader, the accuracy one has no effect as the shells home in on target (badly but still the firing delay system doesn't change that), I gotta admit that I don't know what most modules are supposed to do unless it's incredibly obvious.
>I stick with cluser VLS
You're missing out, on top of that HE VLS are way better at dealing with building too (and then you put the AEGIS on and everything is fire), napalm missiles might actually be very good too but I haven't unlocked the research yet.
>if not I usually swap them for more SAM VLSes.
Just put 10 RAM on your thing and watch the planes drop like flies (and your framerate with them), more place for vs land/sea weaponry too since they take the same space as CIWS.
>>127738754
An anon in a /v/ thread yesterday was doing an infinitely better job by filtering them with waifu2xDDD. But that would actually take Squenix time to do, instead of just running all the backgrounds through a shitty bilinear.

I don't really like the nukes because of how few shots you get and I don't have the unlimited ammo enigmatech yet. Also, show me your sub, including the blueprint.
>>127759136
My sub is pretty rough, although I never had any trouble clearing anything with it, the loop 1 design was pretty similar minus the ASROC/HE/AGS and smaller torpedos and of course no plating because it's useless when you're a sub most of the time.
No AA since none of the missions where you're forced into a sub has any real Air opposition and even if they did you just stay underwater and shit all over airfields and carriers.
>>127760023
Damn, that font scales pretty well with resolution.
Quick question: I've seen NES romhacks that converts a game's mapper from MMC1 to MMC3, what difference does this have on playing the game?
>>127760023
What modules are you using? I have the shark sub unlocked myself but I'm not using it yet since I need all of the modules I can get.
Also your sub could use some part placement optimization.
>>127760843
Honestly even with a very stock system loadout (radar, sonar, electronic targeting, autoloader, AEGIS and forward thruster) it's more than good enough but I use that.
>Also your sub could use some part placement optimization.
Yeah, honestly it's already so powerful you don't really need to change anything but I tried something.
>>127744352
>It runs most games fine
lol keep telling yourself that
>>127761641
Try this.
>>127762109
Hmm not sure about those changes, there's too much machineguns yes but that's mostly my old habit of showing some everywhere I can once I got my main equipment in, AGS are that exact number because It's the critical mass that let me handle battleships easily and fast at close range while leaving me enough ammo to deal with long missions with no ammo crate (no AA means no crate farming), missile rotation doesn't really do anything they fire 360 anyways. and since they're cruise missiles I don't really care about them taking a bit longer to turn around if I fire them backwards.
Although with some of those I can get even more missiles on my sub.
Is there any way to make games gain the bleached-out look of a magazine screenshot or poor television set via emulation?
Any way to make games look like pic related?
>>127763230
Rotate the stern AGS, I'd put it there just for having 360° coverage. Also the AGS should work as AA too. Also post the thing's weapons list.
Also
>trying to add some armor to this fat fuck
>doing so would mean getting rid of two ammo depots and two nuclear reactors, which means losing 5 knots of speed
What should I do? I can't even change engines since I can't research really efficient shit like high tier gas turbines or fusion engines yet. Should I just roll with my dinky sub?
>>127763767
Nevermind, that'd make me lose 12 knots. Shit.
>>127763767
>Rotate the stern AGS, I'd put it there just for having 360° coverage.
Oh ok, I never actually do that because I don't feel the need to especially with sub
>Also the AGS should work as AA too.
Nope, does wreck aerial super weapon very easily though but you have to aim manually for that.
>What should I do?
If I got it right armor just reduce the damage of the caliber it's supposed to protect you again by 75%, nothing in the game actually uses anything bigger than 36cm in large quantity so you can get away with just that and loop 2 is full of energy weapon so EM shields trump any kind of armor.
Might just be me but I put all the engine and structures in the back while I put my main weapons in the front, there's too much CIWS (more than 20 is useless most of the time it just burns your ammo faster without any real benefits, might want to cut back on RAM a bit too they're heavy and 10 is enough to fuck any air force in the game (and any more than that is diminishing returns since 10 can get jets before they get to you most of the time) and with 4 ammo depots you have enough ammo to withstand most air forces in the game without relying on crate that much or at all
Always think your BB designs to fit 8-10 of your most powerful reactor (powerful|=efficient, go wtih slightly less powerful but more efficient models only if you're cutting it close weight wise).
If you're not treasure hunting the heliport isn't that useful, rescue ones get killed too fast, anti sub ones are heavier and worse in every way to ASROC and even antisub missiles are still a better choice, attack ones are a bad joke.
You need more main cannons, with that ship even the laser platform will wreck your shit by lack of ammo and DPS.
Use the droplist from there http://www.kurogane.biz/wsg2/ if you're looking for something in particular for your research purposes..
>>127765496
>If I got it right armor just reduce the damage of the caliber it's supposed to protect you again by 75%, nothing in the game actually uses anything bigger than 36cm in large quantity so you can get away with just that and loop 2 is full of energy weapon so EM shields trump any kind of armor.
Wait, energy weapons ignore armor and they apply their damage straight to your hull integrity, and the only way to mitigate that is the EM shield?
Also, I usually go with efficient engines since the weight from the more powerful but inefficient ones offsets the gains by a wide margin, usually giving me only something like an additional knot. I thing it's better to be next to the weight limit with as much armor and weapons as possible as I'm always playing on hard.
I guess you're right, I'll cut down on the RAM/CIWS and replace some of them with something else.
And I do know about that site, in fact I use that as a source of info for treasure hunting over gamefags, as I found that to be a tad inaccurate for some.
By the way, I beat the mission that was giving me trouble with doing just a modification - changing the flag to the R&R one, it's a fucking godsend.
>>127763661
Doesn't seem too difficult if you can play around with the values on your post processing: crank up the bloom and the gamma, reduce saturation and play around with them until you get your desired output.
>>127766404
>Wait, energy weapons ignore armor and they apply their damage straight to your hull integrity, and the only way to mitigate that is the EM shield?
Pretty sure that's how it works, might be wrong though but I doubt it.
>changing the flag to the R&R one, it's a fucking godsend.
Wait flag do something?
Also thank god for CE so I don't have to go through the whole BC/SW/YU kills or swan grade farm because fuck redoing that one hard as fuck mission 250 times/ doing that one mission 330 times.
>>127731346
>dat smug face

>>127766876
>Wait flag do something?
Read their descriptions. R&R one speeds up repair times and IIRC also mitigates damage you receive when repairing. Championship pennant cuts in half the silver swan grind bullshit. Aegis one lets you lock one or two more targets. Fishing talisman gives you 120% of the dosh you gain during missions, IIRC including crates.
>thank god for CE

I don't think I have any flag with a special description yet so that might be why.
>There are Cheat Engine tables for WS2
Nah, I just used the search function to make my own.
It's not that hard once you figure it tracks the number of kills inside a single mission then adds to your total kill number and it uses a 2bit value to do so.
Here's the table if you really want, it's messy as fuck and uses address and not script/pointer (I'm too stupid to figure that shit out) but it should work with emulation (addresses don't seem to change at all when I restart PCSX2), I don't remember which address does what though.

Keep interlacing on auto.
Use OpenGL as renderer.
Don't use speedhacks unless you're below 100% speed. If you're under that speed, use only mVU and Wait Loop detection for speedhacks.
Do not change core GS settings.
Try OpenGL Software Mode if there are problems.
>>127773528
>Use OpenGL as renderer.
the fuck
>>127774106
The way it usually goes for emulators:
Software - Most accurate but slowest because it's all done on the CPU. No advanced graphics settings
OpenGL - Second most accurate, heaps faster because now some shit is done on the GPU
Direct X - Not accurate at all, super fast, Windows only.
When you're having problems, switching to OpenGL usually fixes most of them.
When will you join the true portable emulation master race, emugen? None of this stupid Android emulation garbage. True Linux, true controller.

How is this a bad thing when the games render at 240p anyways? Are you retarded?
Every time I choose "close content" from Rertroarch's quick menu, it arbitrarily resets a few of my directory settings. What the fuck is going on?
>>127776518
Framerate is not the whole problem. The accuracy of the SNES9x version it uses is fucking terrible, with extra graphical glitches from speedhacks. Even then, it still won't run reliably at frameskip 0.
It's worse than ZSNES.

I'm kinda excited about the Pyra and it's improvements compared to it's predecessor, but I know it's going to be a bit outdated tech-wise and monstrously expensive.

This "pad" looks terrible. Why did they cram a full keyboard in there? Typing on this would be torture to me. If you need a keyboard for whatever reason they should just allow bluetooth or USB keyboards.

As it turns out, if you use per-core config files and then change a directory setting, you have to change that setting for each individual core config file.
>>127799012
That's why you use per-game or per-core overrides instead of that per-core config option.
Overrides only contain what you want different from the base config.
>>127793096
Why do people bother with GB accuracy tests when gambatte is accurate enough and there are peripherals still to be emulated like the IR port, camera, TAMA5 mapper, and the mobile adapter? I feel like those features are the real final boss of emulation, even byuu never bothered with SNES ones. For all that talk about preservation devs sure are selective. Oh wait, I get it, most end users aren't even aware of existence of these devices so as long as their lord and savior pretends they don't exist and claim the emulator is 100% cycle accurate they can suck him off because they don't know it's actually incomplete.

Can you hook up some heavy CRTs for us?" "Oh that developer is a Jew, so we just shitpost about him and everything he does. Why don't we talk about Squarepusher and RetroArch?" "Oh we can't eat anything with beef in it, it gives us bag gehhhhs. Do you mind if we have fish?" All these little niggling things that compound into major headaches, and it gets to the point where you can't help but feel resentment for it, and you'd rather not see it come back. Then comes the guilt trip. "Oh why do they hate us? They never gave us a chance, they're all a bunch of fucking bigots."

>This is how you can tell who's never actually used a PSP for emulation before
How mentally unstable are you required to be before being allowed to buy a PSP?
How the fuck do you fix the audio skipping in Snes9x on RetroArch Wii? You faggots said Wii was the best option for emulating on an older CRT but if it can't even play SNES games with accurate sound what's the fucking point?
>>127801863
Per game would be great, just think about how many times you could configure the same directory settings instead of just once
>>127810552
>You faggots said Wii was the best option for emulating on an older CRT
Best doesn't imply good.
>>127808327
everything is about to change.
>>127810782
So is there a way to fix the audio or is it just fucked?
>>127810552
>You faggots said Wii was the best option for emulating on an older CRT
The best option is a PC with groovyMAME, but that's a pain in the ass. The Wii is just the most convenient. You'll have to deal with the shortcomings.
>>127810552
What core are you using?
>>127810997
Audio skips every 10s is unplayable for me, there goes using my Wii as an emulation box. It's too bad because 224p looks fucking amazing.
>>127811081
Whatever Snes9x Next core is bundled with RAWii 1.2.2
>>127811081
And I mean if you use standard SNES9x or -next.
>>127811178
RA Wii used to come with two SNES cores, doesn't it still?
>>127811579
Autodetect automatically launches into Next and whenever I go to the list of cores it kicks me out of RA altogether so fuck if I know.
>>127811717
>whenever I go to the list of cores it kicks me out of RA altogether
I'm gonna take a wild guess and say your install of retroarch is not working properly. Probably not a good idea to judge it on what you've seen.
>>127811828
Is it normal for it to crash after switching games a certain number of times? I've been wrestling with it all day.
>>127812019
>Is it normal for it to crash after switching games a certain number of times?
No.
>>127812145
Alright, guess I'll reformat the SD card and start over from scratch.
I'm hoping it's not the Wii itself because after switching roms a few times the next game it loads runs super slow and the colors are fucked up.
Would SD vs. SDHC make a difference?
>>127812332
>I'm hoping it's not the Wii itself
It might be.
>Would SD vs. SDHC make a difference?
I use SDHC without issue, but I've read a lot of conflicting info about this. If you've got a different SD card lying around, give it a try.
>>127812505
Have you experienced any audio issues on SNES games on your Wii?
>>127810370
But he's right. Even Super Mario World suffers from unnecessary slowdown. God forbid you play a more intensive game.
>>127812679
Not as severe as the ones you're describing.
>>127813584
They probably aren't sever for most people, it's a subtle skipping every 10 or so seconds but I can't stand shit like that. What issues have you had?
>>127810782
>Best
More like easiest
>>127813710
It kind of sounds like a refresh rate issue. You sure no link in your chain is PAL?
>>127813985
Don't think so. Just reformatted the SD card and it was playing perfectly until I changed the screen resolution, then I had audio skips so I reloaded the ROM and the screen displayed like 4 overlapping jumbled up windows taking up the top 3rd of the screen. Now I'm starting to think it's my actual Wii.
>>127806345
Just wielding the power of libretro.
>>127814509
Could be. Try the nightly version of RA.
After battling RA's PS core and it not working because bios didn't want to read even though RA finds them I gave up and got PCSX-R.
>>127816195
Cool story.
>>127816195
Want to try mine?
>>127815059
Nightly runs buch better and doesn't have any of the graphical issues I mentioned, and the audio skips are now ever 30-45s instead of every 10.
>>127816785
Can you switch core? Try the other SNES core.
>>127816870
Tried both, Snes9x runs better than Next.
I saw in the audio settings they changed the output rate from 4800 to 3200, I think that's probably why it's better. Is there any way to edit that yourself?
>>127817043
You should be able to edit retroarch.cfg on a PC.
>>127818175
Simias please, what did you do
>>127817043
There are two cores on Wii? Regular Snes9x shouldn't be able to run at any kind of usable framerate on that weak hardware
>>127818321
I had to butcher my OpenGL renderer to port it to libretro, I'm patching it back up.
>>127817131
I tried editing it but it somehow reverted back to 3200 after putting it back in my Wii. Seems like a hardcoded number. Either way I changed the Audio Skew option or whatever to 0.001 and that seems to have helped.
>>127818403
It actually runs surprisingly well.
>>127819102
>It actually runs surprisingly well.
But for what purpose when Next was optimized for lower end hardware, such as the Wii?
>>127819320
Vanilla 9x is more accurate?
The good news is that it runs faster than I expected. Almost suspiciously so.
>>127819431
I thought the whole point of Next was that the concessions made to accuracy are barely/not noticeable?
>>127819657
It may have been, but when regular Snes9x runs fine on Wii there's not much reason to use Next.
>>127820331
I turned that shit off.
So I don't remember having a problem like this before. I installed the new SCPServer software for the Dualshock 3. I've gotten to the point where the DS3 connects, and I can even get it to connect via bluetooth. However, its not being recognized in any emulators. I don't remember having to use something like motionjoy before, but that was with the old SCPServer shit.
>>127821652
Nevermind... I have a degree in computer programming, yet I'm still too stupid to remember that restarting your computer fixes 95% of your problems...
>>127821652
I have an older version so this might not work anymore, but try manually restarting the service
net stop "scp ds3 service"
net start "scp ds3 service"
>>127820286
If you're getting audio issues that kinda points towards it not exactly running fine

>I had to butcher my OpenGL renderer to port it to libretro, I'm patching it back up.
elaborate
>>127831517
I was using a rust library on top of OpenGL called "glium" which is much nicer to use than raw GL calls.
This library kept an internal cache of the OpenGL state and made the (reasonable) assumption that it had complete control over the context.
Now with libretro the GL context is shared with the frontend so you have to make sure to play nice and not shoot at each-other's feet so I needed tighter, lower level control over the GL state.
At first I considered forking glium to add what I needed but it's pretty huge and I only used a tiny subset of it so I just rewrote what I needed from scratch instead.
It's tedious but at least I can try to micro-optimize for my use case.
Apparently beetle (Mednafen libretro) wants to find a BIOS in the same directory as the game. That would have been nice to tell me, rather than aborting with no info.
At least now I have Mednafen on Linux with no fucked up fullscreen.
>>127834918
It must be looking for it in the "system directory" which is the content's directory by default.
>>127833761
I see. Was there no way to save / restore state with glium whenever RA exchanged control to you?
I ran into this problem a long time ago with Qt, was hugely annoying
>>127835872
Well, no "clean" way at least. I could always have hacked something to make it work but then I would have suspected it every time I had a graphical bug.
I prefer to have a clean base that I understand thoroughly, especially since I'm an OpenGL noob and I want to understand what I'm doing. We'll see if I end up regretting it.

If you had a 3ds right now you could be enjoying free pirated games to your hearts content with the downgrader.
>>127866846
what how? does it work on 2ds?
>>127866949
A new downgrader was just released for all 3ds up to the latest 10.3 firmware that lets you downgrade your 3ds to 9.2. 9.2 allows you to have kernal access, which then allows you to install CFW and pirated games.
In-depth guides describing how to do it is in the OP of homebrew general, >>127855750
Just a little warning though, make sure you have a few hours to set aside before attempting it (it tooks me over 5 hours to finish everything.)
Also I would recommend attempting this before the weekend is over because Nintendo will probably release 10.4 on Mon or Tues. If you get a softbrick during your downgrade attempt you have to go into the 3ds recovery mode where you're forced to update to the latest firmware. If you're forced to update when 10.4 is released you will lose your only chance to downgrade because the exploit will be patched!
Do it before the weekend is over so you can softbrick as much as you want worry free.

Try the url http://mudlord.info
It doesn't seem to be blacklisted. Yet.
>>127867692

>>127869090
Or I can use a workaround, hopefully Google's droids don't shitlist what I would do, and that is use a new subdomain to host files. Like "braindead.mudlord.info" or something.
Sorry for the hassles. Seems Google's robotic shit is completely incompetant and can't tell whats custom packed or a virus.
>>127869273
>can't tell whats custom packed or a virus.
SPOILER:Virus are custom packed often enough that packed executable are pretty much always seen as infected until proven otherwise.
>>127869418
Not really, they are packed with things like kkrunchy or BEP, since they are tuned for compression ratio (which is why they are made coincidently for demos, but abused by malware devs. Which is why I got caught in the crossfire since I used BEP to compress some of my 64kb intros).
From now on my stuff will be packed with my own packer, which I have given the depacking algorithm to some AV devs, so depacking it won't be a problem.
>>127869273
What if you host everything in encrypted archives?
>>127860426
doesn't work
>>127871974
Then people will complain about passwords on files.
>>127869602
>I have given the depacking algorithm to some AV devs, so depacking it won't be a problem.
I take it this is still not good enough to get on the whitelist?
>>127872985
Whipty shit.
Put the password in the archive comment. Anyone who complains about that can fuck off.
Subdomains wont work because mudlord.info is already blacklisted.
>>127871974
Do you really need encrypted archive? can't you just put it in 7z/ZPAQ/FreeArc.
>>127873205
If it can be automatically decompressed then google will find what's in it.
>>127873272
Dunno about 7z but I sincerely doubt they do that with ZPAQ and FreeArc it would simply be too ressource intensive.

>>127875314
> Am I a massive casual shitter for watching LPs
What do you think?
Some games of that era are pretty difficult to play by modern standards because the mechanics feel dated but there are plenty of games that still hold up very well, especially on SNES.
>>127876535
Well, it's stuff like Ninja Gaiden and Castlevania.
I found games like PTO II and Aerobiz way too easy, I guess the only SNES game I really enjoyed playing so far is UN Squadron.
>>127878176
Ninja Gaiden is hard as balls, I find Castlevania fine though (once you get used to the control scheme at least).
What about Zelda, Metroid or Mario? And all their SNES sequels. Super Metroid and Chrono Trigger are some of my favourite games of all time. I think they still hold up well to this day.
>>127875314

I'm impressed someone could be crazy enough about boats and naval military history to even want to play a game like that in the first place

Have any of you guys ever gotten Vib Ribbon working with custom CD images on epsxe? I've followed a couple of tutorials instructing you to use poweriso to make BIN/CUE image out of mp3s, then switch it out from the file menu while in the game's menu, but it always just says "insert own CD" again. I've tried using both Japanese and PAL versions of the game and also tried mounting the CD and choosing CD ROM from the file menu (as opposed to choosing the BIN file; the cue file crashes the emulator for some reason), nothing works.
