Part of making PJ64 portable involves rewriting its virtual memory handling, which will allow PJ64 to send framebuffer notifications, allowing framebuffer emulation with a fraction of the performance hit.
In the meantime, there's GLideN64 and Ziggy's LLE video plugin. I think GLideN64 should abandon HLE and focus on turning itself into a fixed, polished version of z64.

>>128618250
Emulators, by definition, have to be written in assembly.

This is will go nowhere, as nobody wants to fix the major problems, such as performance. Some even decide to blame external factors for bad the performance, and that's just sad.

iOS is shit for emulators due to its lack of native self-mod code support.

Purplemarshmallow already has his own z64 fork. Development of GLideN64 is still proceeding.
"See the Turtle of Enormous Girth"
"On his shell he holds the Earth."

Hey yuriks if you're reading this there's a good solution to deal with low quality issues without distracting the main contributors from doing their job, it's simple reallyhave a retard like turtle as a janitor and let him deal with those, then again he might actually fuck up that too
>>128636242
Worked for PCSX2, although nobody is even close to the level of turtle.
>>128635179
If that is so, I am finding the experience rather diluted. Maybe I should convert some code from my private git server to github to see some "fun"?
>>128633658
>The alternative is framerates in games like Perfect Dark crashing to 30VIs on a 3Ghz CPU, anon.
Well, I sure hope zilmar keeps the old code around too. If a game uses a frame buffer effect every frame, won't it still be slow for the parts of a game that use it every frame?
>iOS is shit for emulators due to its lack of native self-mod code support.
I agree.
>Purplemarshmallow already has his own z64 fork. Development of GLideN64 is still proceeding.

And Android is shit because of its random performance spikes and it just being a shitty version of Linux running in a bloated Java VM.
But you still want to port to that despite being the biggest pile of garbage OS the world has ever known.
>>128618250
Verilog or your HDL of choice.
>>128632413
Those tests are pretty great though even if they're poorly documented (and parts of the source seem to be missing).
Link's Awakening is a good test case for the GPU, it's pretty intensive and the intro is very timing sensivite when it does the parallax scroll on the beach.

>>128638346
>If a game uses a frame buffer effect every frame, won't it still be slow for the parts of a game that use it every frame?
No. Because of stuff like partial frame copies. Mario Kart 64, for example, copies one part of the frame every frame for 6 frames, and then repeats. Stuff like Banjo only needs to read the framebuffer to ram whenever it does a puzzle piece effect or something similar. Otherwise the FB doesn't need to be updated, which is a huge performance improvement. Mupen64plus already supports it.

Having an issue where DEmul doesn't want to map my controller but instead always wants to input JOY0_ANL3_KEY-
Anyone got any ideas?
>>128677636
Sounds like your stick is slightly tilted, try recalibrating it or increasing the deadzone at the driver level if possible.
>>128678597
I'm currently using DS4tool for my PS4 controller if that helps any, and I just recalibrated. The issue is that I will click on the button that would usually allow me to map a controller button but instead turns straight into JOY0_ANL3_KEY- and won't allow any changes from it. I apologize if this sounds kinda retarded, I'm fairly new to Dreamcast emulation.
>>128679086
>I'm currently using DS4tool for my PS4 controller
Do you have 'Hide DS4 Controller' unchecked in the settings? That should be turned on.
Would it possible to force certain PS1 games to run in 60fps, as hacky as it could be?
I remember people saying that Widescreen hack would be impossible in PS1 emulation but time and actual efforts proved them wrong.
>>128681047
Potentially but it would be game-specific
> I remember people saying that Widescreen hack would be impossible in PS1 emulation but time and actual efforts proved them wrong.
People say stupid things all the time, widescreen hack for PS1 is literally one line of code in the GTE but it only works for fully 3D games. When 2D gets in the mix it becomes much trickier.
What do you guys use as your go-to emulation device?
I was looking for something portable that can at least emulate SNES and GBA well, preferably N64 and PPSSPP, to replace my phone (hate touch screen controls and controllers are often bulky/dont have enough buttons).
I'm guessing that limits me somewhat to knockoff handhelds running android, the Xperia Play (can't run N64) and old Nvidia Shield (pretty big and hard to find). Any suggestions?If I get a good suggestion I'll free pikachu
>>128679912
Alright, just enabled it, refreshed it and DEmul and it still refuses to let me map it
>>128684679
Try without using any tools to connect your DS4, it's a Dinput pad by default so it should workfine with Demul.
>>128685679
I think you misunderstand, it's not because of the controller. Here's a gif to add a visual example of the dilemma I'm having.
>>128686546
To better explain, whenever I even attempt to map it it automatically makes it JOY0_ANL3_KEY-. I'm not sure if it's another driver conflicting with it or if the pad plugin is fucked or what.

I only have a 8 year old laptop which is not suitable for development and I have a lot of other expenses right now. So i am not sure what the future of ZSNES is right now. I had a Core 2 Quad computer which is going on 10 years old now, it refuses to boot now and it's hard to say what kind the problem is so buying a new motherboard and CPU is probably required and I don't have the money right now to spend on something. Unless someone knows of a good deal for getting parts on a decent system to do development. I have already invested a lot of my own money into obtaining hardware/games and other equipment needed to reverse engineer parts of the SNES and NES (yes I know documentation exists but it doesn't hurt to have a second go at it to make sure everything is right).
I still have the source code so at some point I may work on it again but until then I don't have a development machine to work on it. But until then the product is in hiatus.

I'd say a bad deadzione on one of your stick but the box would say it's an axis, maybe one of the button on your controller is brked and permanently sending a signal, look at your controller control panel and see if it doesn't register a key or something.

Well it replaces the mappings with the same random one everytime you click on a box to try and map a button right?
So either that something being pressed all the time, a bad deadzone or the program you use to connect your DS4 fucking things up.
So now you should try your DS4 without any program since it's not the other two things.
>>128688137

Considering the emulator is still far from being cycle accurate, I hardly find that to be impressive desu. Using recompilers instead of interpreters would yield better performance than multi-threading anyway..

>>128692447

I don't know if using counter factor is the best idea, but CEN64's game compatibility is worse than Mupen and PJ64. So it's not really doing anything special at this point. I'm pretty sure he also stripped out VI filters..

Why not?
* A fair few games and demos need cycle accuracy, so can be quite a challenge.
* The GB is a nicely documented system, with some nice unit tests by blargg.
* The GB and GBC had some nice games.
* Nice way to get used to emulation before pursuing much more complex systems since it covers the fundamentals.

Sega could've been in a better position today if they had either not bothered at all with the Sega CD and 32x, or made them separate consoles like they should've been. Not to mention that they chose to focus more on the 2D capabilities of the Saturn, and while it was indeed a 2D powerhouse, 3D was the way the future of video games was headed, and pretty much everyone was all over 3D at the time. That's part of the reason why the PS1 and even the N64 with its very limited size limit both did better than it.
And I'm not shitting on the Saturn's library by saying the following, but they also didn't really have at least one true system-selling game. The N64 had games like Super Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, Banjo-Kazooie and GoldenEye, whilst the PS1 had goddamn MGS1 and FF7. Also, the fact that they didn't have a mainline Sonic game on it, only having Sonic R, Sonic Jam and an updated version of Sonic 3D Blast.

Yes, lack of programming skills from people who care about cheats in Mednafen.

Bad performance in a HLE plugin is inexcusable. What is the point of using an inaccurate HLE plugin if it's slow?
>>128717173
There's already code for cheats, he's probably just doing it wrong

Fucking impossible. Give up now.

Define "slow".
>>128725798
There's like 10 different ones to use.
>>128727064
Do you prefer dicking around with plugins and settings on a per-game basis, or having to grab very specific BIOS files and proper disc rips?
If the former, ePSXe. If the latter, Mednafen.
>>128727283
I don't know the difference.
I imagine the first is easier?
WEEDING OUT THE PLEBS.
Hey /emugen/, got a graphics question for Metal Slug Anthology.
Anyone know what this is about? Attached my plugin settings too. I couldn't find it on the wiki so I thought I would ask here.
>>128728075
My advice is don't play the fucking anthology version, it's shit.
>>128728075
The better question is why aren't you playing the Neo Geo versions?

Tip for later:
You can zoom in the text in your web browser directly with ctrl+mousewheel before you take the screen shot. This way you don't need to scale the text up with bilinear in the image program.
Almost no one uses pre-scaled text in screen shots for some reason, and prefer using bilinear upscaling.
This seems like a good enough place to ask.
How good does a computer need to be to emulate PS2 games well? I no longer have a good computer, but I'd like to play some PS2 games. Basically what are the minimum requirements for them to be actually playable?
>>128732285
Games vary wildly. Cheap laptops can run shit like Disgaea since they're glorified PS1 games.
i5 2500k overclocked is considered good enough for everything for full speed.
>>128732285
Depends on what you're playing. Some things emulate better than others.
>>128732393
>>128732421
What about for Persona 4: Golden and the Shin Megmai Tensei games on PS2? Possibly Drakengard 1 as well.
This thing is an old laptop that's still running Windows XP, so I don't exactly have high hopes here.
>>128718301
>3D was the way the future of video games was headed
Absolutely disgusting
>>128727483
Do the first if you want sharp, muh HD graphics. Do the second if you like dithering and pixelated accurate graphics
>>128732754
If you're using a laptop old enough to have shipped with XP, you're not in great shape. PS2 probably isn't going to be within the realm of possibilities.
>>128732393
>i5 2500k overclocked is considered good enough for everything for full speed.
I doubt that's true anymore, especially on PCSX2 with OGL

What's the issue man? P4:G isn't available in the Playstation Store in my country.
>>128718301
>PS1 had goddamn MGS1 and FF7
Normalfags were all over utter turbopleb shit like Tekken and sports games. They liked things like Gran Turismo, Resident Evil, Crash Bandicot and Medievil too, MGS never really was THAT mainstream.

What are you even going about anon? Are you mocking my shit taste?
I don't understand you.
>>128733458
Metal Gear Solid sold 6 million copies.
>>128733983
Gran Turismo 1 sold almost 11 millions copies not counting japanese sales. And sales are a very moot argument anyway since practically everyone pirated PS1 shit.
>>128733338
>What's the issue man? P4:G isn't available in the Playstation Store in my country.
PSVita is region free.
>>128684075
Don't do it those are really small inside.
>>128728075
Use mame man, never emulate emulators. It will probably be the pointless 2x up scaling doing it.
>>128732904
Don't forget the crappy sound that comes with the first.
>>128733983
>>128733759
P4 Golden isn't on the PS2 you fucking retard. You can make a PSN account in any region you want and buy from there using prepaid cards, you fucking retard.
>>128734367
>Don't forget the crappy sound that comes with the first.
Sounds the same as I remember, but then I also remember it being muh HD only seen through a blurry SDTV screen
>>128734367
>crappy sound
More like annoying as fuck input delay. I'd take that over not being able to fully use the motion of a stick in some games though.
>>128734573
You must play a lot of Parappa the Rappa
>>128734467
>>128734573
Some games have emulation bugs that don't exist in mednafen and I can never seem to not get crackling. The long delay is crappy too.
>>128734676
Nah, I don't play rhythm games.
>>128734464
Well I might just be retarded then.
I clearly meant to type regular P4, but I didn't even notice that.
Who is the:

Maybe emulating isn't for me.
>>128708845
>Why not?
Because it's been done like ten thousand times already.
>* Nice way to get used to emulation before pursuing much more complex systems since it covers the fundamentals.
People who write these NES/GBC emulators usually have no interest in emulation beyond that.
>>128743909
And? Why can't people just do what they want even if it helps no one or has been done 100000 times before?
Besides, if someone had the skills to advance something in a meaningful way then they would already be doing it.
>>128734983
Who is the Vladimir Putin of emulation?
>>128744543
>Why can't people just do what they want even if it helps no one or has been done 100000 times before?
>Because it's been done like ten thousand times already.
People just want their N64 emulators.

One of those crazy closed source Russian dreamcast devs.
>>128743909
Okay then, what emulator DO you want people to code instead?
>>128745435
N-Gage
>>128709013
sinamas's tests are extensive but they are completely undocumented which sucks
>>128708845
>* Nice way to get used to emulation before pursuing much more complex systems since it covers the fundamentals.
I agree with your other points but not this one. I don't think it will be that helpful, compared to the amount of time you invest in those systems. I remember being told to start with a simpler architecture and after looking back on that, I'm glad I didn't listen :) . I think you should dive straight into which ever system you are most interested in emulating. Don't sell yourself short.
>>128746903
Selling myself short is one thing I do exceptionally well. I shouldn't have added that point.
>N-Gage
* Zero technical information exists.
* I bet the hardware itself is extremely rare to get a hold of to even do some RE.
>>128747190
>* I bet the hardware itself is extremely rare to get a hold of to even do some RE.
You can find a bunch of listing for under a hundred bucks on ebay and similar sites, t can't be that rare.
>>128747190
Well outside of the N-gage I can't really think of a console without any emulator nor recent emulation project that is somewhat promising, so I dunno, a better PS2 emulator maybe?
>>128747586
og xbox
>>128747717
Oh yeah XQEMU is pretty much dead since october.
>>128745435
Saturn, Wonderswan and Neo Geo Pocket, none of these got the muh accuracy treatment and the two latter ones are definitely doable as far as speed is concerned.
>>128747190
Any S60 phone will do, it's the same shit.
>>128748105
Saturn has 8 CPUs. Accurate Saturn emulation would be intensive.
>>128747779
The LTO used makes HLE hard (apparently) and good luck low level emulating a custom Pentium 3/ nivdia system with any sane kind of speed.
>>128748320
>custom Pentium 3
The CPU is as stock as you're gonna get, infact you can even drop a celeron in it and it still works so you probably have some error room when it comes to that.
Unless you're referring to the whole system as custom in which case disregard that I suck cock.

If only turtle could share the docs he got...
>>128746748
I concur. Gambatte and its test suite is great software but it's a complete pain to get into. Mednafen is a pleasure for the eyes in comparison.
>>128710896
Arguably Sony did it first in the west by making the X button "confirm" while it's located where B would be on a SNES pad. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the reason for MS to use a similar layout in order not to confuse western gamers.
>>128748105
What if I am *not* interested in those systems. Aren't I entitled to emulate what I want?
>>128748885
If µI understand that chart correctly it's about how well the system is emulated
In which case nope, not accurate
SMS, SNES and Genesis are level 1 easily
I'd drop GBA to level 2 until proven otherwise (mGBA is good but not sure it's that good)
Drop NGC to level 4
Up N64 to level 3 (even if it's a pain in the ass most games play well enough
Saturn could arguably be higher because SSF is surprisingly good for how shit everyone say it is.
>>128749281
>Tell me what console would you want emulation to progress on
>but don't fucking expect me to lift a finger
Don't be such a fucking cocktease.
>>128748885
>>128749334
SSF could be level 2 had it not required you to download spyware or waste time using burned CD's.
>>128749406
>>Tell me what console would you want emulation to progress on
>>but don't fucking expect me to lift a finger
That's not what I fucking said. I said I have a choice to do what the fuck I like. I don't do things for YOU, so stop being so entitled.
>>128749334
Oh and forgot, drop that fucking PSP down to level, PPSSPP is fucking amazing but it just doesn't have the problem free experience that comes with high accuracy emulators.
