    RPCS3 might be the only remotely functional PS3 emulator, but there's also another project in the works called Nucleus:
    https://github.com/AlexAltea/nucleus

    Did you guys know there's another PS2 emulator being worked on too? I tried it out but it doesn't appear to be in a usable state yet:
    http://purei.org/

    I also came across this new N64 emulator still in early stages, something to keep an eye out for along with Cen64:
    http://bryanperris.github.io/Soft64-Bryan/

    I wouldn't be surprised if any/all of these end up abandoned but who knows.

    It's a pity that that key hack was disclosed so soon, it might have got the vita with the psp and the ps3

    Then again, it can probably be argued that Sony only rushed the vita and ps4 because of the key disclosure. Rentier worms.

    Bros, how do you make the DS dual screen usable by a blind bat without using two monitors? Side-by-side works, but it looks weird in games where it isn't static or a plain menu.

    Pilates Pivot is the answer, I think. I forgot you can turn the screen sideways with ctrl+alt+arrow keys. It may be less painful than making space for a 2nd monitor, so it's probably worth it.

    Btw you need an IPS monitor to turn it sideways. TN panels are only viewable in one orientation.

    DS emulation really needs an ability to have screens of different size, enabling you to have a small bottom screen and a large top one.

    Meh, I tried it out and it's just infused with all the bloat bullshit from the later builds. All my per-core configs became useless because they just froze the emu when trying to load, no way am I redoing like 20 system setups. The new PS3 ripoff UI is awful too, as if it's not clunky enough to deal with on Sony hardware. Glad I keep everything backed up.

    Older RA 1.0.0.3 still works perfectly fine and the cores can easily be updated manually from here: http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/win-x86_64/latest/

    It's a lot easier to rebind keys in the new version as it's done through key prompts rather than editing the configuration file, but the issue I had was that some of my key bindings would conflict with other functions (like speed up and stuff), so I ended up having to manually edit the configuration file anyways to fix this.

    Other than that I've had no issue so far. I haven't messed with per-core settings yet.

    Eh. Its a bad idea in general not to reconfigure everything after so many builds. Potential for conflict is just too high. And it took only like 15 minutes for me. (Sounds like you have tons of specific settings though)

    Also the only thing thats changed regarding UI is that the xmb one has become the standard now. The old UI is still available by changing the menue driver.

    You can get most of complete roms on bitgamer.ch, they actually seem to have most of undergroundgamers torrents except the rare stuff.I dont know if the site is closed for registrations but i do have invites if you are interested.

    I use Hyperspin as a frontend that automatically loads these per-system configs from RetroArch, works great. I really don't see anything of use in the new version. Never needed to rebind anything since xinput takes care of everything except some shortcut keys.

    This seems like a much more significant emulator update: http://www.emucr.com/2015/07/demu-wip-v07-alpha-20150709.html

    Finally looks like Demul is being worked on again, I thought it had died like NullDC.

    It mostly contains older systems like the Commodore 64, Amiga, every Nintendo system pre-Gamecube, and Sega systems. I'm not sure if they are complete rom sets, but No-Intro sets are guaranteed to be good rom dumps.

    It'd be nice if we had a Codex FTP server for this kind of stuff.

    Why do you say that? I'm a member of a couple sites which have FTP servers we've used for years to share goodies and sets. Even Abandonia has a pretty public FTP that you only need to gain permission for.

    Example:

    Maybe it's because DU lives in Ausfailia.

    Well, can't make a dinomelet without breaking some raptor eggs.
