3rd for transistor accurate mountain dew spillage on SNES emulation
Emugen, I'm new to this thing but I'm trying to use a DS3 for Rune Factory Frontier on Dolphin 4.0000 but it's not accepting my inputs in game
The controller config does it fine, but in game it doesn't respond
Is there any help for this?

>I was the one who wrote that exact comment in response to the metroidposting. Not sure why someone other than the salty autist who spammed the thread would copy/paste it out of context.
This salty spamming autist figure you're referring to is supposed to be me then? I honestly only wanted to get a hint on how to snatch up an early super missile tank, but the thread was so dead I succumbed to searching up some walkthroughs before the rescue came by. My skimming game is too strong so I always end up ruining the experience for myself with excess spoilers; brief hints like you'd get from asking friends are a lot more enjoyable.
After that I did some more posting from my adventure since the thread was dead silent anyway, but if you prefer early death over seeing occasional Metroid and Mickey pics from me then sure we can go that route instead.

Hey guys, I wanted to try emulating some Andriod ports of games, Dragon Quest and FFT come to mind.
If you don't mind spoonfeeding me, what's the best way to use these android emulators? I see a lot of them tend to have some shit with them that I rather not have to deal with. Does anyone have a suggestion for the matter?
>>147210252
If you seriously want to emulate android on your PC you're gonna have to deal with that shit you'd rather not deal with so get used to it.
>>147210252
I'd suggest not emulating Android ports. FFT on the PSP emulates great, FFT on the PSX emulates perfectly, and the Dragon Quest games emulate much better on every system they're available on than the Android ports too.
>>147208660
Has composhitposting become an /emugen/ thing?
>>147210717
Ah alright then, I'm surprised someone hasn't hacked one of these emulators apart to fix that then.
>>147210784
To be honest, I just want to play FFT with a touch screen. That and I heard the best version of Dragon Quest IV was on the Android and I kind of wanted to try it out.
>>147208775

Win7 x64, ePSXe 2.0.2
I'm trying to play Chrono Cross, but I can't seem to get the game to render right.
I'm having serious texture alignment problems.
Text flows outside of given textboxes, prerendered backgrounds seem to not be aligned correctly with collision (And I end up having to 'feel' for walls, like pic related).
I've tried to look up and use a few configs online, doesn't seem to help the issue.
Halp?
My current config, as copied from the config suggestions I was seeing:

>>147227732
I wasn't even aware I had a widescreen hack on, though I guess it's obvious with the way it looks.
I found it in ePSXe's options instead of the GPU Plugin options and disabled it, and it fixed the problem.
Thanks a bunch anon.

It could attract more technically knowledgeable people and should keep things more focused on the technical aspects of emulation and less so on the game oriented discussions.

Nothing really except maybe the Shield. Though my point is that all portable emulation is kinda lackluster

I don't think for mobiles emulating the power is the problem, top of the line devices are already running dolphin.
Dolphin devs said once that the driver support for most mobile SoC manufacturers is absolutely fucking bad. Many emulators have issues where it simply can't be fixed because shit drivers.
>>147255783
It's a permissions issue, check out this article maister wrote about it:
https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/wiki/Input-drivers-in-Linux-without-Xorg
Essentially you want this udev rule:
$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/99-evdev.rules
KERNEL=="event*", NAME="input/%k", MODE="666"
Do chmod 666 /dev/input/event* for a temporary fix so you don't have to reboot.

>>touch controls
That's not Android's fault, that's problem with the current mobile market. Most Normies want thin phones, and want to use a touch screen. Smartphone killed using physical controls for mobile devices. So most mobile games don't use physical control because the majority of the market use touch screens.
Android has no problems with creating 3DS(GPD), PSP/Vita(JXD), and PSP Go(Xperia Play) form factors. Android is the only OS where you can find a Flip Phone, or Slider form factor with decent specs.

This is an argument that needs to happen. My personal opinion is that the emulators are like the hardware they mimic: completely fucking meaningless without the games that ran on them. In that context, I think discussion of the games (within reason, of course) is justified.

>>147265174
>the aspect ratio of the actual console
Yeah no, that would be 4:3 in most cases. Pixel ratio is not aspect ratio.
>>147265805
That's actually what I emulate at on replays (first time through I'm a strict accuracyfag).
VBAM fucks up the aspect ratio when going full screen, any tips to fix this?

>>147266064

I wish Dolphin listed what types of controllers are supported and genre for each game. Way more useful than listing the fucking file size.
>>147265174
NES and SNES always maintain 8:7 pixel aspect ratio on 4:3 NTSC TVs, filling the screen by overscanning. 1:1 pixel aspect ratio (resulting in 8:7 or 16:15 display aspect ratio) is not accurate, and neither is naively stetching to fit 4:3.
Not sure about other consoles since they ran at different internal resolutions.

What are some amazing technical stunts emudevs have pulled?
>>147267232
Selling code
Win 10 x64, ePSXe 2.0.0, Chrono Cross
Hi, I'm having some problems using ePSXe to emulate Chrono Cross. I saw another thread dealing with this game on this emulator already, but my problem is of a different nature.
I started using the recommended config for Pete's OpenGL2 2.0 with the Natural custom shader. The game itself runs fantastically on the updated textures/filtering. Enemies look good, moves look fine, character models have higher fidelity, it's wonderful. My problem is that most menus--such as the battle menu or the post-battle status screen--have a problem where the text and box are distorted and wonky. Not unplayable, but not pleasant to look at, either.
Is there something I can do to fix this issue?
>>147266483
That info isn't easily obtainable metadata in the ISO, like the other stuff dolphin shows. So there would need to be a database for info like that, that would most likely be on a remote server.
And seeing as most people know basic info of games they get, before they get them, it's probably not worth the effort.
>>147267381
>Is there something I can do to fix this issue?
Avoid ePSXe.
>>147267381
>Win 10 x64, ePSXe 2.0.0
>I'm having some problems
Shocking.
>Is there something I can do to fix this issue?
Use RetroArch.
>>147267485
What emulator should I be using, then? I know there are plenty to choose from, but what's generally recommended?
>>147267567
Check the wiki, lists them and pros/cons.
>>147267875
Turn on bilinear filtering for 3D textures and we're golden.
>>147267681
I see that some of them are listed as "plugin dependant", which is also what ePSXe runs on. Would a plugin dependant emulator such as PCSX-R suffer from the same problem I'm having, or is ePSXe just shit enough that it'll fuck up even a good thing?
>>147268830
>Would a plugin dependant emulator such as PCSX-R suffer from the same problem I'm having
Yes. Just use mednafen w/ RetroArch.

>>147266754
>SNES always maintain 8:7 pixel aspect ratio on 4:3 NTSC TVs, filling the screen by overscanning
That's absolutely false though. When's the last time you've used an SNES, if ever? Some games like Chrono Trigger even make their circle shapes with being stretched to 4:3 in mind. It's just that many others (including most Nintendo games I've played) don't, and get stretched on the TVs the console was made for use with, so some games will always be a little off of what their intent was no matter what you choose.
>>147267438
Its not hard to do. Each game already has ini files that list info such as compatibility notes and whatnot. I have practically every game I don't mind taking an afternoon and making notes of whats what. Most of the games already say it on wikipedia and other places anyways, not hard to compile everything.

Why.
Gaming and software in general is moving towards online distribution and require Internet connectivity to function because some important stuff is computed server side and received by the software. How does it make you feel that you won't be able to preserve gaming systems and computers of the future?
Here's how it looks mid-solving, for the anon who was asking the other day.
>>147273460

>>147273460
>some important stuff is computed server side
but it's never important stuff. like the marketplace on diablo 3. leaderboards for destiny or hitmans. you could strip all that shit out (and they did for one of the console releases) and be no worse off at all.
>>147269150
>>147271482
With either Mednafen or RetroArch (which I'm really taking a shine to, the interface is wonderful) is there a way to upscale graphics like with plugin-dependant emulators, or is that a feature specific to them?
Apologies for the numerous questions by the by, I've never really had an issue with emulators before that wasn't really up to just interface.

>>147273863
What other sorts of games do you play, if any?
>>147273897
The RA version has an experimental HW renderer that let's you render in HD.
>>147273967
How do you go about that, then? I've been searching online for the last few minutes, and none of them seem to be particularly helpful, at least with the most recent stable build.
>>147274042
Start the game, go to the menu, under Core Options.
>>147274042
In the core options, internal resolution.
Be prepared for horrible performance though.
>>147273667
But you can never replicate server side code 1:1, you can only observe the request-response pairs and guess how the server behaves internally, you can't be completely sure if that's what the developer intended
>>147273884
Emulation should always strive for 100% accuracy, leave no features behind
>>147273008
/vr/ don't know anything about anything but would want to use the canonical CRTs of the era anyway, so 4:3.
>>147274130
Does it put a particularly strong load on the system as opposed to HQ settings on a plugin emulator? My rig ran Chrono Cross with the upscaled internal resolution just fine; my issue was that it bloated the text and fucked with the menus.
>>147269696
>That's absolutely false though.
Nope.
http://wiki.nesdev.com/w/index.php/Overscan
>Multiplying the pixel rate by the scanline length gives 39,375,000*6/4/11*640/(135,000,000/11) = 280 pixels per scanline. The PPU puts signal in 256 of these and a border at the left and right sides. The color of this border is the same as the backdrop color (usually the value in $3F00). This makes the pixel aspect ratio on a 4:3 TV to be 240/280*4/3 = exactly 8:7, or about 1.143:1.
>that image
Nice job conflating 8:7 PAR with 8:7 DAR (i.e. 1:1 PAR) yet again.
>>147274448
>Does it put a particularly strong load on the system as opposed to HQ settings on a plugin emulator?
Yes, it's software rendering, and single threaded, so you need the one of highest end CPUs to do 4x. Most CPUs should be able to do 2x just fine though.
There is a hardware rendering build of it, but it's still in the early stages and buggy.
>>147269696
Might want to tell that to byuu since his emulator always outputs SNES with 8:7 PAR with overscan visible, since it's accurate and all.
>>147273985
What are you implying?
>>147273995
Plenty, I've been playing some Zeus and Castlevania lately.
>>147274138
>leave no features behind
It's just tacked-on multiplayer features. I'm sure on some level you could even emulate most MMOs.
But stuff like Team Fortress or Overwatch, you'd need actual people on the other side. But then new arena type games like that come around all the time. They're less like experiences, more just diversions.
>>147274652
That's unfortunate. My rig is pretty high end but I wouldn't necessarily think it capable of 4x.
So there's not really a way to get higher fidelity graphics on a PSX game without also sacrificing the legibility of its text and menus?
>>147274615
Note: this applies to SNES as well since it outputs with the same pixel clock as the NES.

That the emulator modules in Mednafen besides PSX or PCE are forks of ancient versions of other emulators, and they are statically linked in the binary so you can't remove them.
Quite funny to be complaining about "bloatware emus" when you are not even forced to have unneeded cores around since they're dynamically linked...

All RA's netplay does is emulate the same instance on both hosts and sync inputs. Basically you can use netplay for anything with split screen/same system mulit, and nothing more(eg no Game Boy).
Though there is actually also the requirement that the core supports savestates, as they are used with real time rewind for latency hiding.

>>147291934
Those tests became useless when ePSXe specifically started targeting them for 2.0.x.
>Like all hardware tests, these shouldn't be taken too seriously, and are certainly not a direct measure of an emulator's accuracy. ePSXe in particular seems to deliberately target these tests(partly by using the Amidog software GPU plugin), at the expense of accuracy, rather than for the sake of it, as using the plugins and settings that would get these results causes serious bugs in actual games.
>>147292098
You can easily make a emulator pass tests, and then make it fail on anything else ;)
>>147267381
If I were you, I'd forget about ePSXe entirely and go with Mednafen through RetroArch instead.As for Windows 10, I don't know if it's because ePSXe doesn't work properly on it or something, which sounds like the only reasonable reason, but outside of that, I don't see why everyone else is pointing it out as a major flaw. I've been using it for a year now and I really haven't gotten any issues of extreme importance.Didn't get the feds knocking at my door for torrenting shit either so paranoidfags can kindly fuck off.

Yeah. PCSX-R's interpreter hangs during the CPU test on instruction JR (and probably 12 others) because it uses some old ICache code that's not quite right, and you could easily fix the hang and have PCSXR pass more tests by removing it. However, this will happen if you do that.

>>147274615
NIGGUR THAT'S NES NOT SNES!!! FUCKING PLEB.
The NES has a different output resolution and overscan area than the SNES.
The NES is 256x240 and it becomes 8:7,
the SNES is 256x224 and it becomes 4:3!!!
In the case of Playstation for example normal games that are 320x224 or 640x224 become 4:3, while 512x480 or 640x480 become squished to a 1.37:1 aspect ratio, but appear to be still 4:3 as the overscan e.g. the area beyond 224/448 is cropped off on most tvs. Now I don't know the exact technical details how it works in the case of the nes but because of the dfferent resolutions and overscan areas the NES becomes 8:7 and the SNES becomes 4:3. That is a fact.
>>147275539
>Note: this applies to SNES as well since it outputs with the same pixel clock as the NES.
That is not true. The NES outputs 256x240 and adds horizontal borders to that. The Snes outputs 256x224 and just adds vertical borders to make it 240.
>>147299045
Only on the same system, and even then barely. You need a fast as fuck CPU to deal with the overhead of keeping everything in sync.
>>147312659
There's never a good reason for storing settings in the registry.
DesMume SVN got an update for Linux, it compiles fine now, works pretty well
>>147313421
SNES does output horizontal borders as well, just like any console from that area (GENESIS, MASTER SYSTEM, NEC) and it has same pixel clock as NES in 256-pixels resolution mode.
The number of active lines (=lines with PPU rendered tiles pixels as opposed to lines filled with overscan color) might differ but SNES has a 256x240 mode as well so saying one has a DAR of 8:7 and the other is 4:3 does not make really sense.
Most 4:3 CRT TV from that time could only show 224/448 lines at 60Hz (the rest being hidden under TV edges) anyway so DAR is pretty much subjective as most people never saw those 16 extra lines.
>Now I don't know the exact technical details how it work
Yes, I can see it, seems like you are just repeating stuff you have read elsewhere without really understanding what they mean or if/how they are related to the discussion. Swearing when being confronted is also generally a sign of people quite insecure and not very confident of their beliefs.
>>147322745
Yes I agree, we should get married.
Running Dolphin 5.0 is great, but every now and then despite running full speed, I get stutter where the emulation halts for a split second then resumes.
It happens in most games and commonly when entering new screens, never occurs if I'm doing something like playing a VC title in Kirby's Dream Collection for example.
I was wondering what this stutter is and if there's a way to eliminate it, is it shader cache issues or possibly just disk reading?
I keep my GC and Wii ISOs on my HDD, but could try loading them from my SSD instead if that will alleviate the issue.
I've also learned about the Ishiiruka fork recently, which looks like it's tailored to low end machines without dedicated graphics.
https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-unofficial-ishiiruka-dolphin-custom-version
It sounds as though this build may alleviate the issues, has anyone tried?
I am about to try myself.
>>147323575
Shader stutter. Get Ishiiruka.
>>147318823
>SNES has a 256x240 mode
correct, but it is never used.
SNes only outputs 256x224 and always 4:3.
You must be a millennial. Every kid older than 25 knows that 8:7 is the wrong aspect ratio. Ask byuu.
>>147323952
224...and some games have 448. But never 240 and 480!
>>147323623
Tried an arena run using Ishiiruka, it ran smoother with I think one instance of stutter, but also noticed oddities like characters disappearing for single frames.
Hope Dolphin can iron out this issue perfectly in the future.
>>147323952
Yeah, the SNES internal resolution is 8:7, and the video output is 4:3, so there's a slight horizontal stretch for non-square pixels.
When I emulate I prefer square pixels personally, even Nintendo's SNES VC on N3DS respects this and gives you an original resolution option.
It really does vary by game too, Super Metroid's spheres are spheres in 8:7, not 4:3.
>>147324126
It's something that mainline dolphin for whatever reason doesn't want to sort out. Possibly because it would involve some sort of dirty hacks. They mentioned in the latest update blog that they might be adding generic shaders in future that will take some of the strain while the real shaders generate. Apparently using D3D rather than OGL will save the shaders for next time you start the game, so you won't get stuttering in the same areas.
>>147324224
That's true. It varies from game to game. Some games are anamorphic designed for 4:3 other appear stretched in 4:3 like super mario or metroid. But if you are going for an authentic / accuracy based setup, you should go with 4:3, because that is what all games looked like on a CRT in a 90s.
With the NES it was a bit different because it was an older system and there were older TVs, so it basically looked different on every TV back then. When going after facts and the NTSC specifications/standards the correct output of the NES is indeed 8:7 as calculated here http://wiki.nesdev.com/w/index.php/Overscan
By the time the SNES came out the output was standardized to be always 4:3.
>>147324327
The Dolphin team have cracked some amazing hurdles before, I hope they can prove themselves again with the shader stuttering someday.

Both GPU backends can cache shaders just fine.
As for what they haven't implemented ubershaders yet, it's simply a large undertaking and work on it hasn't really started yet. They definitely intent to do it.
>>147327452
Windows 10 and later updates of 7 & 8 violate your privacy and act as keyloggers, but a botnet is more like an array of ready hijacked computers to launch attacks and spam from in coordinated fashion.
Anyway every sane /emugen/ user is using Windows 7 without the Win10 shit on it. It's by far the most desirable emulation setup until based Linux emudevs catch up.
>>147327541
And yet they still want to fuck around with all sorts of other shit first like it's not a big deal. It's more important than absolutely everything else they're working on considering it has an irritating negative impact on every single game played, including the ones they consider to be working perfectly.
