Emulation central - recommendations in 1st post

[Puukko]

Yeah the end game of IVA is demanding, I tried speed boosting through it cuz it's a shit dungeon but to no avail since 100% speed was all my CPU could handle.

Maybe this is another case of citra regression? I

I haven't try olders build, thanks for advice!

 

[oddech_wymarlych_swiatow]

On early 2018 build is faster indead but still no full speed during Vision Quest and combat, I have found only one topic with similar issue- guy has AMD processor as well, maybe that's the cause?

Portal Roms has been axed.
RIP

But I've been able to get all of the torrent files of this website. So anyone wanting them just PM me.
It's quite light actually, just 55Mb.



Although does anyone know of any other trusty Rom websites?

EDIT:

all of the torrent files of this website

Scratch that. I distinctly remember getting the DeS and Ninja Gaiden Sigma torrent from here, but apparentely they aren't in the folder.
Oh well, it's quite a big library of torrents.

3DSISO also went down. I've found Rutracker to be a good source, they have ROM collections with prepatched games, undub projects and the like.

That's a shame, I always wanted to check that webpage. Which consoles has roms for? Can you pass me said PM so that I can check, please?

Rutracker is a treasure trove for pc eroge and anime games.
I can't believe they are still seeding 20 year old obscure japanese games.

Came across a weird issue in Beetle PSX HW on Retroarch. I was a few hours into Chrono Cross CD2 when I restarted the emulator. Loading either CD would only list my saves from before the disc swap a few hours prior, which shouldn't even exist since I've overwritten them all. I had one save state from CD2 but whenever I tried exiting the area it would just give me a black screen with music playing. What I had to do was load CD1, enter the in game disc swap prompt, load CD2, then load the save state after which it would let me continue as normally and I only lost 10 mins of progress as opposed to some 3 hours. I don't know how to avoid this and have it detect my CD2 saves properly after restart, so I guess I'll have to be extra careful and make sure I have save states I can rely on.

Maybe it is due to the fact that retroarch creates a different memcard/save file for each cd? I would check the save files in the retroarch folder (or where it usually saves)

Hmm indeed, I do have two .srms. Did they really think this one through? Multi disc games are hardly uncommon.

 

[spekkio]

It's a toggle in core options (shared memory card). But yeah - playing multi disc games requires some skill in RA.
But normal people quicksavescum anyway, so they don't care about "console" saves.

 

[Goi~Yaas~Dinn]

I only quicksave if the game has no save option to begin with.

Hi, I'm interested in playing NieR (2010) at some point. I have no PS3, and even if I did have one it would be very difficult for me to get a copy of the game where I live.

I use emulators to play SNES and Amiga games, and I have never emulated a modern console before. Can I play that game with RPCS3? Can I use my Xbox One controller with it?

I checked the compatibility list, but still felt like asking in case someone had first-hand experience. Sorry for the newbie questions.

 

[Abu Antar]

It should be no problem to play Nier on RPCS3. Never used an Xbox controller with it, but I don't see why that wouldn't work.

 

[Puukko]

Any controller works fine, just that you have to mentally map the physical controller buttons to the ingame ones.

BROS. Just a heads up for Avast users trying to emulate Xinput via x360ce. Latest update of Avast's Behavior Shield breaks x360 compatibility. You won't be able to configure the emulator (x360ce.exe) at all:

You have to disable this shield to launch the exe:

OFC adding the exe / directory to the list of Exceptions doesn't work and the Shield does not log its activities (the way File Shield does, moving suspected files to shitbox and stuff).

Only disabling the Behavior Shield works. Or uninstalling Avast...

Naturally figuring this shit out took me some sweet time...

 

[spekkio]

Update: This shit also fucks up some installers. Esp. old ones:

Uninstalled shield, if problems persist, will uninstall Avast...

 

[lightbane]

^Isn't that one in GOG and thus allegedly fixed already?

A 2D fire emblem like game from Shōzō Kaga (First 5 FE games). Thanks to everybody involved. I'm having a blast.

 

[aweigh]

wtf why would anyone use Avast software?

...or even use an AV ?? that's something grandpas do

 

[Puukko]

CEMU now supports multicore for XCX which should boost performance by quite a lot.

 

[Tse Tse Fly]

Does anybody know if it's possible in RetroArch on Android to make the status bar not disappear when you launch a game?
Also I'm baffled as to the sucky performance in the GBA cores, mGBA seems to be the only one able to run certain games at 60fps, but being able to provide just that is not sufficient for fast forward to work properly, which is such a nice feature to have when playing tactics/strategy games. My cell phone model is Xiaomi Redmi Note 3.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Preview Build Release

Since our last announcement on Twitter about the game working on Ryujinx, we’ve been hard at work to give you a way to play it.

After a lot of discussion internally, we have decided to release a Preview Build that runs Animal Crossing: New Horizons so you can take a look at the progress we have made so far. The build can run both version 1.0.0 and 1.1.0 of the game.

[...]

How does it run?
As you can see from these screenshots, the game runs relatively well, between 15-30 FPS on a good Laptop.

As far as graphical glitches goes, there are a few, like the grass being the wrong color sometimes, and some missing light effects. Other than that, the game looks almost perfect, and we will work hard to make it look even better in the following weeks!

Impressive.

There is a new Switch emulator Ryujinx - has anyone tried it? Any advantages over Yuzu?
