Emulation central - recommendations in 1st post

[Puukko]

Regarding FE3H.

Where can you find an updated ROM with dlcs?

Searched the usual rom sites but couldn't find one.

There is a fitgirl version around but it comes with yuzu and I can't get it running in ryujinx.

Maybe someone can give me a hint where to find it.

Legends speak of a tracker operated by the Russians.

I would like to avoid torrent sites.

Getting caught where I live gets you a hefty fine.

 

[mogwaimon]

I would like to avoid torrent sites.

the alternative is basically shifty google drive links obfuscated by a bunch of 'pay per click' link hiding services. better bring your uMatrix and your ABP. even then you might still end up with a torrent.

 

[Alter Sack]

Got it.

It seems worthwhile to look for the sites who got dmca-striked at the bottom of the google search

Yo spekkio,Cat,Morpheus,any one of you interested in old dungeon crawlers that don't have a mapping feature?
I might have something for you for you as a thank you for your continuous brofists/information regarding my collection.

Deception 4 - The Nightmare Princess

Game works fine, but since it's some weird PSN to Disc re-pack, the 01.01 Update is nowhere to be found (somebody savvy would have to decrypt a PSN update and modify it to be compatible with the "disc" release).

Disregard that, got gud, found some really nice site which allows you to download games and updates in the .pkg format directly + has .rap files for each title.



Got Deception 4 Gold, Ico & SotC HD + updates and .raps for all 3 titles.

 

[Morpheus Kitami]

Yo spekkio,Cat,Morpheus,any one of you interested in old dungeon crawlers that don't have a mapping feature?.

Dungeon Master-style dungeon crawler or something else? Either have my interest, but DM-style ones have my interest more.

Yuzu EA 1883 / Fire Emblem Three Houses. I did try it a year ago and it crashed about one hour in. That doesn't seem to happen anymore. I'm 20 hours in and it didn't crash a single time with playing sessions over two hours.

 

[Duraframe300]

Just mentioning: Dolphin has now mgba built directly into it, so the gba functions in gamecube games are now easily accessible.

Works pretty well now all things considered audio is still much worse then ryujinx though.

Btw i hope everyone knows about pineappleea.github.io you can get yuzu EA builds there and they even have a handy update tool so no need to pay the patreon tax if you just want EA builds.
And before someone asks (yeah if ever ) yes it's completely fine to provide compiled EA builds the emulator is open source and according to GPL they are good as long as they provide source which they do. The yuzu devs just don't like it because of their precious patreon money, well obviously.

BROs, I'm playing Majin And The Forsaken Kingdom ATM. Noticed info about some DLC in the menu:

But to my surpise, the DLC for the NA version (BLUS 30472) can't be find anywhere on the webz. The only thing that's available is the DLC for the EUR version (BLES 00919).

I said: what the hell, let's TEST this shit. DLed, installed .pkg, renamed DLC folder in /dev_hdd0/game/ from BLES00919 to BLUS30472 (just remember about ALL CAPS, because PS3 filesystem needs UPPERCASE), and voila:

So, it looks like the files in /Usrdir/ are identical in both versions (& Param.sfo is just an info file).

 

[Maximilian]

Apparently, shader issues on Yuzu were resolved more or less completely, making hundreds of games run properly.

 

[spekkio]

BROs, OP has been updated. Changes:

• Nintendo 64: RA - ParaLLEl 64 is now suggested solution,
• Nintendo Switch: Added Ryujinx; added link to yuzu's EA builds (thanks, tet666),
• Nintendo Dual Screen: Added RA - melonDS,
• Sony Playstation: Added DuckStation,
• Microsoft Xbox: Added xemu,
• fixed some broken links and shit.

That is all.

Out of curiosity, what does the floppy download contain? And by that, I mean, what years? I got a complete collection for the Amiga years ago but it had a cutoff date of about '94, '95. Unfortunately after that is when Amiga games start coming on 10+ floppies.

 

[Unkillable Cat]

Gotta love Mega.nz. Want to download a 1.99 Gb-file? No problem!

Want to download a 2.01 Gb-file? "Sorry, your browser doesn't have the memory to decrypt this file. Install our app to enable this feature!"

Use jdownloader,it is a lifesaver for most file sharing sites

BROs, tested FE:3H on Yuzu & Ryujinx

a) Yuzu works like a charm, updates, DLCs, patches:

BTW, comparison for Outline Removal mod:

Vanilla:

Outline removed:

b) Ryujinx kinda works (game, DLCs), but is still throwing a fit when trying to enable updates:

People mention this error online, in various situations. Maybe it just hates my CPU (7th gen a.k.a. Kaby Lake)?

Updates and DLC installed fine for me on 11.0. Not a clue how it works on real hardware.

Make sure to enable 6gb memory and host unchecked memory mode.

Tested on version older than Puukko's (6894) and newest (6976), on firmware 12.0.3 & 11.0.0, so I don't think it's version / firmware - related.

BROs, finished Majin And The Forsaken Kingdom (U).

Got like two crashes in over 14 hours.

Game works great at 200% resolution scale (internal res x2) & VBlank Frequency = 120 Hz (runs @ 60 FPS). The only problem are boss battles. You have to go back to VBlank Freq. = 60 Hz for them, or the game will de-sync and hang during post-battle cinematic (the "black-goo coming off" effect).

So, first PS3 game completed on Rpcs3, looking up for more. And since both PS1 and PS2 had like 200 interesting titles each, PS3 surely can't be worse, right?

Right?

No interest in rpg's?
Even then,dragon crown and 3d dot game heroes should still interest you.
