>He is a dev
He did write a single line of code.
>it's unfair to say that he's just editing text files
No, it's a fact.
>programming is just editing text files
Text files that can be compiled into a functional program that is. He couldn't even write a calculator.
First for emugen is alive again.
Praise the resident shitposters and attention whores.
>>140855219
and the turtleposters
>>140855207
I think this guy is just baiting you. Turtleman is a total joke.
>>140855219
Spirited discussions about irrelevant bullshit bumped the thread so fast I didn't notice it was well past 750 posts.
>>140855458
I'm almost convinced that the guy defending vgturtle is vgturtle himself.
Would this be a good place to ask for help with audio file extraction from a Vita game? The files in question have a similar header to atrac3+ but doesn't seem to be at3s
>>140856706
>Would this be a good place
Considering your question has absolutely nothing to do with emulation I'll have to go with 'no', but it's not like you'll stand any better chance of getting answers over in >>>/hbg/ that aren't 'lol dead handheld'
>>140858058
I already got my answer anyway. They are a new atrac format called AT9 or something
>>140855805
I'm almost convinced you were dropped as a child
>>140855805
I doubt it, he doesn't know he is a meme yet. lol
>>140861067
I think he must have found out, if he really deleted all his shit.
>>140855805
I can't find a reason to hate him, though.
>>140855207
https://github.com/vgturtle127/8bitimager/blob/master/8bit.js
Here's some 100% original vgturtle code. It's literally some of the worst-looking code I've ever seen.
>>140861365
You didn't hear? Somebody else has control of the Twitter and Reddit account now lol
>>140861508
So why don't you do a PR to make it better?
Besides, he says that is years old.
Truly the pinnacle of software engineering
>>140861838
"insert a person who sucks here"
turtle lol
>>140861508
Nope, also stolen. Here's the original:
https://github.com/gmarty/image8bit/blob/master/jquery.image8bit.js
Turtle stole the minified version of the code and reformatted it.
>>140862071
oh my god, where does the turtle ride end? Has he literally done nothing? Nothing?
>>140862071
oh jesus. this fuckin guy
he's my only github follower. I just want to delete the whole account now.
>>140862071
No, I think it is slightly different
>>140862220
It's been stated that he has done work for various gitbrew projects
>>140861508
>>140862071
Jesus christ, all he did was change a little bit of bad formatting to his own bad formatting, and NAME EVERYTHING ONE LETTER WHY WHY WHY
>>140862293
That's, impossible moron. The one guy he is following isn't you.
>>140862396
Can you find a difference that isn't a change of variable name or whitespace adjustment? Everything's even in the same order.
>>140862619
There wasn't a license, so giving attribution, while it would have been a good idea, probably isn't required
>>140862293
REally? He unfollowed me lol.
>>140862970
He unfollowed everybody...
>>140862741
you're right. he's not following anymore. I'm back to 0.
>>140862825
He probably is pretty good at JavaScript, then.
> tfw JavaScript is for scrubs
>>140862908
I'm not saying it's immoral, it's just 100% retarded, not his own work as an anon previously claimed, and he took actual time out of his day to very transparently try to make it look different for the sake of looking different for some reason. And his adjustment is a strict downgrade in code-readability.
you know, the guy who created the JavaScript code works for Mozilla, and Turtle says he worked for Mozilla at one time.
Maybe they know each other?
>>140862071
>>140861508
>adding copyright info to shit he clearly doesn't have any rights to
>didn't even do it right
This is why we have no sympathy for him.
What are the absolute most poorman settings for PCSX2?
If this fucker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UD_5w8IG5bc
Can pull it off then I should be able to too!
I have windows 8 and these are my specs.
If anyone can tell me the most piss poor settings most appreciated. I don't care if it looks and sounds like ass I just want to play games.
>>140863968
I have version 1.3.1 btw.
Hell i'll even downgrade or grab a newer version if I need to I just want performance damnit.
>>140862908
That's not how copyright works, retard.
If there isn't a license it's assumed to be copyrighted by the author with all rights reserved, not public domain.
>>140863885
At the time, there was no GitHub page for the original and it didn't have a license.
Honest mistake, if you ask me.
Somebody could just open an issue, and I am sure he would fix it if somebody would just talk to the man like a human being.
Or a turtle...heh
>>140864319
>just talk to the man like a human being
Turtles are reptiles
>>140864552
So is your mom
>>140865476
Please fuck off
>>140864319
Turtle are you really this lonely? No, taking someone's stuff uncredited is not honest no matter what you happen to mistake it as at the time, especially when you straight up copy a project wholesale, do nothing different with it, and put your name on it. And what do you think could be "fixed" about that? Removing the entire thing is the fix, it's someone else's and doesn't add anything of its own!
>>140862071
>that indentation
What the fuck?
>>140865962
Maybe tell him, then? It is a GitHub, after all...
Did he deliver in the end?
>>140865962
As it was stated before, Turtle doesn't know yet about the whole "he's a fucking meme" thing.
>>140866674
One had some SGI code in them, but the other was legit. He talked about in the #n64dev IRC channel for a bit.
>>140866040
It really isn't that bad, I mean I have seen much worse in WordPress themes and shit
>>140866887
so,
he CAN code: He's not completely delusional, just really, REALLY fucking silly. Why do all these punctuation edits and other mundane things if he can actually program?
This makes no sense to me.
>There are people on /emugen/ right now who support closed source emulators
>There are people on /emugen/ right now who say the turtle did nothing wrong
Probably the people who killed RachelB too.
>>140867254
He says developers have shunned him in the past (like the endrift incident), so maybe he is being cautious, but failing miserably?
>>140867397
>the endrift incident
wat
Didn't expect turtle to hate on trannies
>>140867397
He's the opposite of that though. He kept boasting and asking for attention but failed to deliver constantly.
I wish /emugen/ would have been less heavy handed with the banter though, I'll miss him if he's gone for good. How will we bump the thread now? We'll have to increase Picross posting to the max.
>>140867365
Nobody said he didn't do anything wrong, I think people are just saying it isn't worth all the trolling, harassment, taking over his accounts, embarrassment, etc etc etc
This is 4chan, so everybody hates on people who do anything wrong, no matter how big or small.
>>140867536
No, no. It was in a big report on GitHub. Endrift told Turtle off, at least I think that is how he felt about it. he talked about it in a Project64 issue.
He just thought he was reporting bugs, and Endrift wasn't having a good day.
>>140867789
*bug
Sorry.
>>140867789
Was that about that joke about reproducing someone made? That was turtle's doing?
Reminder:
RetroArch should introduce a simple scripting language that allows control over the menu driver (and possibly simulated inputs) and the ability to do shit with dialogs and the like to allow various user-created tutorials to introduce users to certain concepts.
>>140714146
>>140867965
Basically, Endrift just labeled the bug as a "not likely", and then closed the issue. Turtle didn't understand why, and when he asked Endrift got pissed at him.
Endrift also kind of got pissy when Turtle asked about another issue was having in the same issue, I think.
I only remember it because it seemed like Endrift was overly angry for some reason.
>>140867639
I don't remember anybody doing that over here though. It was mostly silly image montages and hardcore memeing. Hate is really too strong a word, most of us were just making fun of him.
There are like 100 people posting in this general, it's not exactly massive enough to be public shaming. We're easy to ignore.
>>140867965
No I don't think that was related at all. I don't remember Endrift saying who made the joke, it was only a tweet IIRC.
>>140867789
Turtle was posting in the issue as if he was one of the devs though. Maybe he meant well but that shit is annoying when you're a maintainer, it blurs the line and makes it more difficult to get to the point.
>>140868145
That really sounds like a bad idea to me, it's a huge feature bloat for little gain. RA's UI should be streamlined somehow but adding clippy in it won't do a lot of good IMO.
For reference
https://github.com/mgba-emu/mgba/issues?q=is%3Aissue+author%3A%22vgturtle127+%22+is%3Aclosed
>>140866674
His dumb dopey smile accompanying all his posts always gets me.
>>140868713
Boy, 4chan hates happiness to a TEEEEEEE
>>140868290
Just make it an optional Clippy core and it'll be fine.
>>140868814
>>140868547
>>140868547
He does seem like he has enough knowledge to be useful when reporting bugs, but then Endrift kind of shuts him down. I understand if something is wrong or whatever, but if you wanna lose somebody who was willing to help, that is a good way to do it. People can only do so much before they give up, and I think that's why Turtle contributed for a few months then stopped.
Somebody should contact him and see what he says about it.
>>140868713
He isn't very photogenic, I assume that's the best one he has
>>140869580
I don't think making fun of him is necessary.
He may have done a lot of things, but making fun of his face is probably a bit much.
What's that picture from, anyway? It looks ancient.
>>140869330
damn. now i feel bad for shitting on him.
his kickstarter pissed me off tho. He was asking for a lot of money and only spent a few seconds on the art.
>>140869841
Sorry, mom.
>>140869330
Only one of his bug reports is actually valid (the last one).
The other ones were either game bugs that were correctly emulated or stuff that didn't turn out to be bugs.
If he wanted to be truly helpful he should have compared mgba's output with other emulators or even the real hardware if he had the right equipment. Otherwise you're just giving the devs more work as they have to sort out your flow of bug reports that are complicated to verify.
>>140869841
>>140869580
He's a goofy looking nerd (like all devs really) who posts his face all over online.
Do not post your face on github. I don't want to be looking at your ugly mug when doing shit there. This isn't facebook.
>>140869991
you sound like a bitch.
he's reporting bugs, for FREE.
he might generate a few goose-chases, but ffs.
i'd kill to have any testers.
>>140869889
I actually heard about that through his Facebook, and he seemed really excited about it. Afterwards, he said he (after the fact) realized it was a "terrible effort and not at all what I had envisioned for the end result". I think he has visions of what he wants, and just executes them poorly.
>>140870234
You'd kill to have a tester that barely investigates anything and just reports 80% of false positives? You must really be desperate.
What with all the turtle apologists all of a sudden?
>>140869929
I'll admit, you made me laugh when I read that.
>>140870396
They're all turtle. :^)
>>140870396
>What with all the turtle apologists all of a sudden?
Could be Turtle getting defensive.
>>140870396
I think it's because one person said it, now people who were in that mindset are coming forth.
Or they are all a bunch of trolling faggots
>>140870396
>you must be desperate
kinda. (._. )
>>140870487
I really don't think he knows, he probably would have posted on Reddit about it.
>>140870780
No, he doesn't have control over the vgturtle127 Reddit account anymore.
>>140870780
Can you imagine? Discovering that you've become a meme on an obscure thread of an obscure board on 4chan? My life would be complete.
>>140870910
Expect another blog post soon.
>>140870989
He hasn't posted anything on Facebook about 4chan, at least. He seems down lately though, mostly about the Reddit/Twitter thing.
>>140868713
>>140871207
lol
>>140871271
How long did that take you?
Too long, I bet. lulz
>>140871231
What do you mean?
>>140871502
>Too long, I bet. lulz
>>140871640
He just hasn't posted that much positive stuff like he usually does. He is usually way optimistic. Especially about Project64.
Lately it has all been about pessimism and not being able to make deadlines that he set for himself.
I don't know, just feel like he's down.
>>140871674
Gold. We should get a whole collection going for these threadz. lol
>>140871674
Make that bad ass mobile spin.
>>140871804
Reality hit him, he's finally starting to grow up.
I'm sure we'll see a smile on his face again soonworth every second
>>140872014
Amazing
>>140871804
>Lately it has all been about pessimism and not being able to make deadlines that he set for himself.
Deadlines for what, editing readmes? The guy is a joke.
>>140871271
Make a Turtle Club vesion of him winking.
>>140872014

PCSX2 works horrendously with the newer windows unless you have a monster PC.
No fucking clue why, it works best on windows XP for some reason.
My advice is just to get a decent PC with windows XP or Windows 7 or something. Anything below windows 8 is pretty okay.
It just doesn't play nice with the newer operating systems.
>>140872216
>>140872427
Just for you
>>140872216
Have you written anything interesting?
>>140872930

Jesus christ that is horrid advice.
>>140872990
You're the best! This is so great! Somebody should post them all over. lol
>>140873117
I'm not joking it really does work best on windows XP for some ungodly reason and nobody believes me.
The newer the operating system the shittier PCX2 runs for some reason, the fucking thing just doesn't like the newer operating systems.
>>140873117
No kidding, XP is insecure and also doesn't support a lot of modern hardware.
>>140873157
It is pretty funny, but I feel kind of bad as I laugh. lololololololololololololol
Just kidd

Why does everyone sound fake as shit in here? How many of you are turtles?
>>140873330

>>140873406
I think you are overthinking how many people are in the thread
one of the last posts in the last general said that he chose bgb over gambatte..is one worth it over the other? they have similar results in the accuracy tests.
don't use retroarch so gambatte being there and bgb not isn't an issue
also emulating 999. damn they should just port this and ZTD as proper pc ports
>>140873607
Just download both and see which one you like best. Or keep both around, that's what I do.
>>140873607
999 is that puzzle game for the DS, right?
>>140873754
yeeah i guess that's an option. while i don't use retroarch (prefer to use them as individul application because reasons) i do have it installed.
i can just download it there and be done with it.
as for the other question yeah 999 is the Ds puzzle game
it's a VN with escape the room puzzle for gameplay, really fun an interesting story, highly recommended and i haven't run into any issue with desmune (using the most recent svn)
>>140874229
Yeah, I have played the flash demo and the DS version. I really liked the flash demo since it could use a keyboard and mouse.
A proper PC port would be really great.
>G-Sync still borked in every emulator but MAME
>PuNES still stutters under G-Sync
>>140876257
What issues are you having? I have no issues on TV's, monitors with higher and lower refresh rates, G-Sync monitors, FreeSync monitors, etc.
>>140876257
>muh placebo
>>140876668
G-Sync only seems to, at best, half work with emulators. In the case of RetroArch & PuNES, the tearing is gone, but there's horrible microstutter when the screen scrolls. Only emulator that works with G-Sync so far is Mame. I'm still testing out some others...
>>140876858
Confirmed for never using one. It works perfectly fine for regular-ass games, but has trouble with most emulators though.
>>140876257
MAME's attosecond timer stuff probably has something to do with that
>>140877036
>Confirmed for never using one
So what makes it so game-changing? Assuming that's your only argument, it can't be much.
>>140872930
Are you trying to start a meme? How the fuck would the OS matter?
Fucking dead
>>140886048
The OS could matter for a variety of reasons?
>>140891453
What are these reasons? Get someone from the PCSX2 team to confirm it runs better on old OSes or I ain't habeebin it
>>140891963
I just mean the OS factors a lot into the performance of anything, let alone emulators.
>>140892429
I figured that was mostly due to the drivers available or the like though not just the OS code itself
>>140893145
Well, the OS also has things like generic drivers, controls what interfaces and I/O is available, technologies that are supported, etc
Does anybody know a good way to capture what buttons presses do in an N64 game? Like in my specific case, I am trying to figure out what the z button does in Hey You, Pikachu! so I can put some debug code in to test a controller adapter.

>(Vulkan / Windows) Should be usable on Windows now.
Sadly not the case, at least with the release build. You can build it with Vulkan support, but Vsync is broken.
How many processors do I need to emulate? Because my computer has 2 processors but some newer computers go up to like 15?
>>140897213
The vast majority of emulators do not use more than one processor core. Even the most advanced emulators only use three at most. The only exception to this is PCSX2 in software mode, which can take advantage of many cores to speed up emulation.
A modern Core i5 is more than enough.
>>140897213
A quadcore is enough.
If you don't want 6th gen emulation at all a dualcore is probably more than enough too.
If for some extreme reason you really don't want to buy a PS2 at all and would prefer emulation regardless of having to play in native res or not then you might want to consider more cores than 4 but honestly it's a bad idea.
7th gen emulation might take advantage of more than 4 cores but it's so early that I wouldn't advise you to buy one right now just for that.
>>140897213
>15 CPU computer
>>140898603
ahh why is he doing that noo
>>140897213
At least 27 processors. After that point you start getting diminishing returns.
>>140898603
THIS HOLE
IT WAS MADE FOR ME
>>140899060
That's just because your power supply can't support that many CPUs. What you need to do is bypass the PSU using a couple of these and you can easily handle a couple hundred processors.

I don't know how people still get freaked out by this gif. There's a comfy little room down there.
I spent 9000 hours in mspaint drawing the basic layout of it (of course this is just a tiny part of a whole cave system, but still the main entrance is like 10 seconds from that hole)
>>140904470
Tight spaces are just one of those common fears, like heights or spiders, that isn't always justified. That said, people can and do get stuck in places that tight and the viewer wasn't shown any of his preparations made beforehand. For all the non-spelunkers knew when watching the animation, it could have been just a gif of a dude getting into a spot he can barely breath in and realizing too late that his shoulders don't fit.

>not being into planetary vore
Nothing gets me harder than the idea of being swallowed by the earth.
I hate emulation. No matter what if you don't have a GPU it's miserable
>>140907981
That's all PC gaming
>>140907981
You can get a low end GPU for like 20 dollars that'll handle everything up to N64...
>>140908869
Anon, integrated will handle everything up to N64. It's PS2 and GCN it won't handle
>>140908983
My integrated *laptop* GPU handles GCN, you're probably just trying to push it too hard with enhancements.

>>140863968
Downgrading PCSX2 is a meme. The emulator has gotten dramatically more accurate with only minor performance hits. There's basically no reason to not be using the latest version. Preferably the one released within the last five minutes. Massive improvements are being made right now.
PS2 emulation isn't really something you can cheat. You're dealing with a primarily low level emulator emulating extremely esoteric hardware reliant on tight timings of multiple processors. Tampering with EE and VU timings can help some games, but it mostly just breaks shit.
DirectX has been deprecated, and the OpenGL backend has become the only one worth talking about, but it requires reasonably modern GPU hardware. Without it, you're stuck with DX video emulation that has only marginally improved in years.
However, you CPU is too slow. That pretty much answers that question.

Off course he is, that guy is obsessed by emulation, just like most of people here, he definitively knows about emugen, just like he knew about r/emulation/ and weirdly seems to know about every emulator related issue posting on github.
Turtle is everywhere because he is bored and lonely and his only "friends" are people like him talking about emulators on the internet.

Undoubtedly, the PSX core is a wonder of the emulation world. But it is not yet completely finished. Still, for the gains in Saturn emulation, I do not mind so that work on it has been postponed.
Too long has the Saturn not had its due.
>>140925292
i don't want to put my faith on a rumor but i hope this is true. saturn really is long overdue for a great emulator. psx emu is in a good spot imo is great and n64 is improving, as for saturn we have well...
>>140926045
N64 has shown scant improvements. Still, purely from a preservation perspective, the Saturn deserves it. There are untold numbers of games that never left that platform, for a variety of reasons.
>>140925292
Is she borrowing from MAME again?
>>140926746
No clue. Would that be a bad thing?
>>140926268
>N64 has shown scant improvements.
I think N64 emulation has come a long way. I love being able to play with pixel accurate graphics.
>>140929418
I don't. The only advance I can really commend is angrylion's plugin, which is still just that- a plugin.
Things just aren't solidifying. Cen64 is trying, but they keep running face-first into performance roadblocks.

What are some good emulators that were made without excessive amounts of drama?
>>140930623
None. Drama is inherent to humanity. We will never know peace nor rest until death.
>>140930623
Mednafen PSX?
>>140930851
Nope. Drama over the gender of the primary author, of all stupid fucking things.
>>140930623
Retroarch of course

That didn't really have anything to do with the making of the emulator though, that's just shitposting surrounding it.
>>140931294
Clearly defined criteria are a must for this sort of shit.
>>140868145
you can send commands via STDIN or UDP
>>140931457
I mean that drama didn't influence the emulator in any way as far as we know. Ryphecha is clever enough not to acknowledge trolls, unlike some of our favourite emudevs around here.
How do I get retroarch on android to recognize my xperia play's gamepad inputs?
>>140932774
Oh I couldn't say. Only a primary dev or one of their confidants could, excepting clearly documented instances where the drama got so out of hand it flared into the public eye.
Most devs sure as hell aren't going to write in one of their commit logs "Changed the way x and y do z because of draaaaaama!". If anything the majority would be clever enough to think of a plausible alternate reason.
>>140932774
She could have obsoleted epsxe 3/4 years ago by just catering to the stuff people wanted out of it.
Instead we have a resurgent epsxe that still steals open source emulators' best ideas and then packages it up into their payware Android port and has all the consumerist idiots falling over themselves to shell out for it again.

More power to them. epsxe devs sound like huge assholes.
As long as RetroArch improves I don't give a fuck.

Is an iGPU ever modern GPU hardware?
If these devs are so interested in preservation why do they rely on GPUs and hardware modes which are inherently temporary? Only software mode will last.

not the quoted user but don't get me wrong, behind his melodrama he is definitely saying the truth regarding close sourced and the troubles it brings.
>>140945093
By using a Vulkan renderer like the Maister is doing
>>140945093
From my glances at Cen64 development, no. I'm pretty sure it's this or waiting quite a while for the computing landscape to change. I'm guessing that's exactly why they're going the hardware accelerated route.
This is not what N64 emulation development ultimately needs, but it will be a noticeable improvement. From an admittedly layperson's perspective, I do not see what else they could do.
>>140945093
By just making it work. You see a bug in the way it draws something, fix it somehow. With OGL2.
>>140948739
Not even close.

I miss turtle. The last few days without him feel like months.
Sup /emugen/, Lincuck here. Is Retroarch my best bet for emulating everything that isn't Dolphin? I want to play some of the older Fire Emblems. I'm building it with all the cores right now, but I'm worried this shit will take me the entire day. If anything I should be using RA for Android since emulating on the phone with a PS3 controller is pretty comfy.
>>140951056
Only the MAME cores take for fucking ever to build. Omit those unless you really want them. Run RetroArch outside X from a tty terminal or using Wayland if you've got it for best results, unless you wanna use CG shaders.
>>140951424
I just canceled it and it appears it already build a MAME core. Might as well leave it running I guess. I'm using their script to build it, but they don't really say anything on how to build it while omitting cores.
>>140952298
You'd probably have to edit the Makefile for that. You can specify which cores to build individually from the shell, though:

lack of hardware support, that one's on the mark, though.

Your copy of Windows 10 spies on you, mine doesn't.
It's time to bid farewell to our turtleoid friend, who has disappeared off the public stage. He never got a chance to achieve his dream of becoming an emudev. Perhaps with time he would've saved PCSX2 from Greg N. Vidya, who knows? But now he never will, thanks to this general.
>>140966229
Stop lying to yourself. Win10 is on the verge of being banned from organizations dealing with HIPPA laws. And they'd use Enterprise.

They 100% do though.

Emudevs refuse to do that due to muh portability and because they're nowhere near as hardcore as the guys who made even that joke of an emu, zsnes.

>>140967310
Did you pull that out of your ass or do you actually have evidence to back that claim?
Beating a compiler by a significant amount these days is getting pretty difficult. Maybe if you could optimize everything to use a whole lot of SIMD or something like that.
Will the Mednafen/Beetle PSX fork that reuses Rustations' GL renderer, support OGL2?
>>140968682
see>>140967656
if you're coding in assembly a single architecture and a single OS, you can eliminate a lot of compiler bloat
>>140969481
For a single CPU family of a single architecture maybe. If you really want to micro optimize you have to target one specific CPU family these days. And you need to know that CPU really well to figure out what's the fastest way to code for it. I'm not sure it's worth the hassle.
Compilers are pretty good nowadays, you really need to know your shit to beat them most of the time (except for things like SIMD sometimes, and other optimizations the compiler is not always allowed to do).
>>140968952
Rustation's renderer is written in OpenGL 3.3. I think SP talked about lowering the requirement to 2.x (which shouldn't be too difficult currently) but I don't know if it's still scheduled.
>>140968682
>Beating a compiler by a significant amount these days is getting pretty difficult.
Compilers do a terrible job at some tasks.
>Maybe if you could optimize everything to use a whole lot of SIMD or something like that.
more efficient SIMD, better register allocation, less function call overhead, optimized loops, etc.
>>140967656
Yeah, it's a real shame desu senpai.
>>140948739
I\d prefer OGL 3.3 core since then you can expect some things like integer support in shaders and glBlitFramebuffer support. Then again, I did some stuff with GL2 using ints before, but that was kinda a hack and worked purely on extensions.
Let's say you made an OGL4.3 graphics core. What would happen if someone runs it in SW mode without a GPU that supports OGL4.3? Wouldn't it still work because it's all done by the CPU?
>>140964967
Not to pick a side, but do you vet for closed source? Why?
The three big contributing factors to open source is community/collaboration, transparency, and the ability to potentially do what you want yourself.
Hard to say the same for closed source.
