What do you guys think about playing such PSX classics as Metal Gear Solid on the Dreamcast?
As impressive as it was, not enough buttons on the controller, wouldn't bang.
>>3360451
they used to sell adapters that allowed playstation controllers to be used on DC
>>3360580
They're just adapting the DC controller layout to a PSX controller, still doesn't give you an additional analogue stick or more buttons.

Wut?
Bleemcast is ps1 not 2
>>3360665
get ready to be mind fucked, psx can use dual shock.
>>3360702
Which psx games use both sticks?
none that i know of
Do any even use 1 stick?
>>3360712
Ape Escape
>>3360712
Ore no Ryouri
>>3360441
How?
I can't even emulate MGS1 or Megaman Legends on my computer because the emulator doesn't support them. (PSX-R)
I'd use ePSXe, but it crashes instantly.
bleemcast is shit, don't fall for the memes

>>3360762
Use pcsxr
>>3360769
Beat me to it, but yeah this there's a fuck ton of games that don't work at all.
>>3360441
Dreamcast controllers had no select, so I couldn't play Silent Hill back in the day, I will never forgive them for this.
>>3360789
only certain releases of it are limited to specific games.
>>3360762
I've played both of those games with RA/Mednafen and had absolutely no problems
>>3360803I'm on a mac laptop. PCSX-R is the only emulator that runs on mac. There's a ePSXe port for mac, but no frontend and it crashes instantly.
I have mednafen on my windows computer but that's at home and I'm at college.
>>3360832
>I'm on a mac laptop.
I found your problem.
>>3360806
>IIRC only the MGS and Tekken 3 ports use the 'final' code of the emulatorFor all we know it's only coded specifically for those games, even though the Dreamcast has the right horse power to provide some basic emulation. Else why would it only work with those games? So they could earn more money? Come on.
>>3361012
why havnt you installed windows on it?

>>3361018
>current year
>using BotnetOS
Heh.
>>3361025
what does this shit have to get with running emulators on your system? nothing. if you actually care just dont connect it to the internet.
>>3361025
Oh no, you insulted windows. Good thing I don't care what macfags think.
>>3361056
>implying Mac isn't vastly superior to Windows
Your shit isn't even UNIX-compliant. Fuck off.
>>3360712
>Which psx games use both sticks?
Alien Resurrection.
The game's control setup is its most terrifying element. The left analog stick moves you forward, back, and strafes right and left, while the right analog stick turns you and can used to look up and down.
>>3361018
Because I only bought one copy of windows for my high end rig back home and I only have a 250 gb harddrive in my laptop.
More hassel than it's worth to me really.
>>3361082
Then you should have a word with TOG.

You can use mednafen on Mac with Nekolauncher https://emulationrealm.net/downloads/file/947-nekolauncher-mednafen
Awesome and buttery smooth PSX emulation on my core2duo mac mini.
>>3360832
>on a mac
>not using openemu
It's literally the only thing the mac has over windows when it comes to emulation
And it's just a frontend for other open source emulators either way
Other than that you can use retroarch with the mednafen core like most people
>>3360943
I mean yeah, you're right, but said beta has been around since the stone age of the internet and fits in with the timeline of Bleem getting bankrupted by Sony's lawyers. They managed to commercially release a universal emulator for the PC so it's not unlikely a DC one was to follow.
>>3361135
A+ reference. I think Ape Escape does too though.
>>3360441
So is that how Bleemcast looks? How does the filtering figure out smoothing angles that aren't a multiple of 45 degrees? Like the spikes on his hair especially.
>>3362835
Anti-aliasing, my nigga.
>>3362864
Yeah but the N64 only did that to multiples of 45 degrees. Anything else seems like it would need some serious AI or something.
>>3360702
get ready to be mind fucked,
this is a psx, you fucking retard
>>3360712
There was a The Grinch game where you could control Max (the dog) with the right analog stick
>>3362835
Higher internal resolution
>>3362896
Still there doesn't seem like there's enough information in the hair to be so accurate.
>>3362902
But there is, low resolution crunches all that information into a smaller number of pixels. Nearest neighbor filtering doesn't help things.
>>3362907
Right, so how can it get it back? If I scaled a 2000 x 2000 image to 10 x 10, then so much would be lost forever,
>>3362913
Because there's no reason to go 'back' because there's no back to go to.
Dreamcast just renders the assets at a higher resolution from scratch. It's lucky that the assets are quite detailed.
>>3362914
Nah, bollocks. After studying the 2 images, there's a lot of differences. They've been created from a higher res source image or something.
There's no way the hair spikes could be recreated from that low res. and the right hand with the stripes, etc, are vastly different.
>>3362921
Do you actually think the 3d models look that shitty
They're actually much more detailed, but the game runs at such a poor resolution it looks like that.
The Dreamcast can output it at a higher rendering resolution.
It's not hard to understand
>>3362921
They're both renders dude. The same asset rendered on two different machines at different resolutions.
Also take into account that PS1 and Dreamcast have different kinds of image qualities. Dreamcast does texture filtering and also does dither filtering.
>>3361138
Who BUYS windows???
